Every, Church in the town has been d ei-troyediand the greater pari of the. dwellings. .Six persons have been killed and a great number wounded. The distress is said to be very great, and help id needed to alleviate the fctillering. ? The people are crowded together in the fevf" remaining houses. It is seldom that such a calamity comecfifc near home to us, and tho hearts aud purses uf everv oiie ought to be opened. Walterhoro' coiitainud a c ?urt house, jail, two hotels, a number of law offices, a dozen stores, one acade my, seven churches, and about ninety dwelling houses, hesides the large complement of kitchens, negro cabins, barns, stables, and other outbuild ? ii ^s always found in an old .Southern town. The churches and academy were" totally destroyed, und of the ninety dwelling houses sixty with their accompanying outbuildings are uninhabitable. The entire popula tion is crowded into the less than thirty remaining. There i? no money with Which to rebuild, tho people having been very poor, and the pro cess of restoring the ruins must ne cessarily be a somewhat slow one. Until that process is partially com ph tefcttiere must inevitably besufler "?g Fears of a famine were for the time relieved by the appearance of a uum - ber ot wagons und enrts belonging to Alderman Biascll and his brothers, bearing piovisious from Charleston, which came in good time. Charleston is acting nobly. Over 61,G?vO is already rabed, besides pro" visions from Town Council. Our Branchvillo Letter. Branch ville, April 17, 1879. A severe ruin and hail storm pass ed over this place yesterday after noon, almost covering the town with water. Hail fell in pi eres as big as a bird's egg. Our farmers had been suffering previously for rain, but i Olli Troh put a qiiictUS to their grumbling by yesterday afternoon's performance. Bran* hville was once a cypress pond, but by the thrift und industry of man, latterly she seems to have hcconif entirely oblivious of her for mer character Yesterday, however, she was forced to assume for a briet interlude a "we bit" of hor qu tndam self. Large puddles of water settled in certain localities where it remain ed for sometime. What the dorn izens of the town would do if a small part of a deluge likcunto that w hich immediately procodod Noahs Ark were t.t visit it, nobody knows ?x actly. A quinaiut gen?es who occa sionally phyncs sick horses says, "Climb a tree." Jn connection with tbo recent change of postmasters in this place it is proper to stnte that the linner in cumbent, Mr. A. F. II. Dukes, was not removed from tho position. On the eontnry, he stands nigh with the i Post office Department for integrity, efficiency and fidelity to duty, but being a merchant of increasing busi ness, he could not, in fairness to him self, longer continue in tho office. Hence his resignalion. Recently Mrs. L-r. Ott of her own volition collected here a handsome sum to be expended in defense of the Democrats ol this County indicted in the United ?States Court for violating the Election Laws. Such patriotic devotion to our country by tho ladies is what redeemed South Caro lina. Easier pnsscd here with it* old m time usages. The ltev. Dr. Raysor preached an eloquent and instructive sermon iu the Methodist Church near here. The boys and old men '"picked eggs," and thus passed away the time. I heard of one miserable cuss who in dulged the sport with a hat full of rotten eggs. He hardly missed a | coat of- well, he promiscd"n'ot to 1 do so no more" and thus appeased tho ire of those he victimize I. .Some of our merchants aro taking advantage of the high price of cotton, and are shipping what they'have on hand. The lion law is still apprsciatcd here. 1 notice that one of our mer chants, Mr. J. D. Khoads, is doing n large advance business, inaddition to his li\cly cash trade. Well, he is a clever, true hearted gentleman, aud no one begrudges him. In the good old days he received a very large j vote for Tax Collector of this County. Those who remomber the ! time say that ho was a lively clec tioneerer, and could tell some mighty interesting stories on his opponents. li \KOLD. I'. S.? The- rain has commenced afiesh,and i* now falling in torrents j The gates of Heaven seem to have been opened, for we are certatuly j having a small deluge. My horse j doctor inau will have occasion to ' climb a tree, I appreheud. - i iwji- . - - ?rmiin i ? Milk in Medicine. Milk ami lime water aro now frequently prescribed by physicians iu cases of dyspepsia aud weakness of the stomach, aud in some cases arc said to prove beneficial. Many per sons who think good bread aud milk a great luxury frequently hesitate to cat it, for the reason that milk will not digest readily; sourness of tho stomach will oft<m follow. But ex perience proves that lima water and ' iniik aie not only food and medicine at an early period of life, but also at j a later, w hen, as iu the case of infants, I the (unctions of digestion and assimila j lion have been seriously impaired. ' A stomach taxed by gluttony, irrita I ted by improper food, inflamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise unfilled for its duties, will resumo its work, and do it encrga tically, on an exclusive diet of bread and milk aud lime water. To a gob let of cc w's milk ono may add four table spoonfuls of lime water with good cflcct. The way to make lime water i.- simply to procure a few lumps of unslaked lime in a stone jar, add water until the lime is slaked and of about tho consistency of thin cream; tlte lime settles, leaving tho pure aud clear water tit the top. Great care should bo taken not to get the limo water too strong. Keep to the direc tions as to the consistency, and when the water rises pour it off without obtaining any of the limo. ? Herald of Health. ? mm m ? ?? Expulsion of Flies. For three y?arsi I have lived in a town, and during that time my sit ting-room has been free from flies, three or four only walking about my breakfast table, while all my neigh bors' rooms were crowded. I often congratulated myself ou my escape, hut never knew tho reason of it until tw o days ago. I than had i occasion to move my goods to another house, while 1 remained for two days longer. Among other things moved were two boxes of geraniums and calceolarias, which stood in my windows, being a'.ways open to full extent, top and bottom. Tho boxes were not gone half an hour before my room was as full of flies as those around me. This, to mo, is a new discovery, and perhaps it may servo to encourage others iu that which is always a source of pleasure, viz., window pardoning. Small Farms. Small farms make ncar noighbors; they make plenty of good schools and j churches; thero is more money mado 1 in proportiou to the labor; lc*s labor is wanted; everything iskeptni.it; l^os wages have to be paid for lie!p; less time is wasted; more is ruined to the Here, because it is tilled better; there is no watching of hired men; the mhid is not k*?pl in a7 worry, a stew, a net, ul! the time.

I Object Last Thursday night r colored' couple were married at the M.-thwdis-. (colored) Church.' It accrue a Certain old man named Ctesar Whilehenl had been flying around the damsel for about three years, and when the question was propounded by tho minister, if any one had any 'Vbjsij tion why these parties should not- \fo joined in the holy bonds of matri mony," the old mau 'piling up ?brV ously and said, "Yos.T objeet/ fbr dfe cause dat man can't give 'dat:'o:nau bread enough to eat?and- for' dat cause I object." The old mun-was promptly ejected and the ceremony i concluded?but he cried; it i<.said, oil the following day for his "lost bride."?Burke County Herald. ? p ii ?.? i? ? Pluck vs. Judgment A little scraggy, cantankerous biul that could not be kept inside of any lot that was over fenced in Cotuiocii cut, one day, just after tho railroa 1 between Hartford and Sprjug?ojd. was made, broko out of hi* pa^u.rjo.tyid mado for tho. xajkqaJ, 4 Jli-f^^ugr saw the tip end of hi.- in:', di.; appear ovor tho fence, and "put" for him tho best ho could. Just a.* lie reached the railroad along came a train at full speed. And there stood his hull on the track, with hia head hint down, and ready for a fight with tho ioe,'? motivc. The old man shouted.at tin top of hia voice, "Go it, you li.tle cues; I admire your pluck, but doi pise your judgment!" A Gentleman. The first mark of a gentleman is proper regard for the leelings of others, and a mau's own good brued iug is tho best security against other people's ill manners. Good breeding is tho result of much good senne, auau good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others. Gentility is neither in birth, wealth, manner nor fashion, but in the mind. A high senso of honor, a determina tion never to take a mean advantage of another, an adherence to tho truth, delicacy aud politeness towards those with whom wo havo dealings, arc ths essential characteristics of a gentle man. Tho Washington correspondent of tho Savannah "News" notes, ns one of the signs of thw times, that during the first year that Hayes was in ofifieo, such men as Chandler, Anthony and the stalwarts generally, uever called on him. At the same time, such man as Gordon, Lamar, Bayard and others did. Now such men as Chand ler, Anthony and tho stahvarts'geu erally, daily tread the White FloSse carpets and such men as Gordon, Li mar, Bayard and others never darken the doors of that white pile of ma sonry. The stalwart visitors are doubtless imparting tho noeoss.iry I rigidity tothe Presidential cduinu? I Pcoria "Call:" A young man of ; Teutonic parentage got a marriage license at the Court House a few days since, and remarked, as ho turned to go: "By Shorgo, this is the most handiest gourt house in the guniry.
