Terrible Tornado! On-Wednesday of last week one of the most destructive cyclones ever known' in this part of the country visited Walferbon/ totally demolish ing the greater portion of the twon. Tin* storm came up about A o'c'oc k in the Hfternoou and laste* 1 but a few minutes, Houses were unroofed and leveled t? the ground und the occu pants made to fly for their lives. Every, Obiy eh in the town has been d et-troyedtund the greater part of the dwellings. Six persons have been killed aud a great number wounded. The distress is said to be very great, aud help is needed to alleviate the sufTeriug. * The people are crowded together iu the few remaining houses. it is. seldom that such a calamity comerWO near home to us, and tho hearts aud purses of every one ought to be opened. Walterboro' contained a c nu t house, jail, two hotels, a number of law offices, a dozen stores, one acade my, seven churches, and about ninety dwelling houses, besides the large complement of kitchens, negro cabins, barns, stables, and other outbuild ings always found in an ol d Southern town. The churches and academy were'totally destroyed, and 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 is 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 pit icfciViere must inevitably be suffer Fears of a famine were for the time relieved by the appearance of a num ber o: wagons and carts belonging to Alderman Uisscll and his brothers, bearing plovisious from Charleston, which came in good time. G'hnr'e&tou is acting nobly. Over $!,0^U is already raised, besides pro' visions from Town Council. Our Branchville Lotter. Branchville, April 17, 1879. A severe rain and hail storm pass ed over this place yesterday after noon, almost covering the town with water. Hail fell in pieces as big as a bird's egg. Our funners had been suffering previously for rain, but Ohl Pruh put a quietus to their grumbling by yesterday afternoon's performance. Brauchviile was on^e a cypress pond, hut by the thrift and industry of man, latterly she seems to have becotn** entirely oblivious of her for mer character. Yesterday, however, she was forced to assume for a briet interlude a "we bit" of her qu mdam self. Large puddles of water settled in certain localities where it remain ed for sometime. What the dorn izena of the town would do if a small part of a deluge likcunto that which immediately preceded Noahs Ark were t.> visit it, nobody knows ex actly. A quinaint geuuos who occa sionally phyucs sick horses says, "Climb a tree." In connection with the recent change of post masters in this place it is proper to state that the fbmcr in cumbent, Mr. A. E. II. Dukes, was not removed from the position. On the conttiry, he stands high with the 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 Iiis resignation. Recently Mrs. i r. Ott of her own volition collected h ue a handsome sum to be expended in defense of the Democrats of 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. Easter pasted here with iU old time usages. The Itev. Dr. Rayior preached an eloquent and instructive sermon in the Methodist Church near here. The buys 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 promised-"not to do so no more" and thus appeased the ire of those he victimize I. . .Some of our merchants aro taking advantage of*the high price of cotton, and are shipping what thcydinve on hand. Tho lion law is still appraciated here. I notice t hat one of our mer chants, 31 r. J. D. Khoads, is doing a large advance business, inaddition to his lively cash trade. Well; he is'a c lever, true hearted gentleman, and no one begrudges him. In the good old days he received a very large vote for Tax Collector of this County. Those who reinomber the time say that he was a lively elec tioneerer, and could tell some mighty interesting stories on his opponents. 11 \ HOLD. I P. S.?The rain has commenced aft esh, and i* now falling iu torrents ] The gates of Heaven seem to have j been opened, for we aro certainly j having a small deluge. My home doctor man will have occasion to j climb a tree, I apprehend. Hill: in Medicine 31 ilk ami lime water aro uovr frequently prescribed by physicians in cases ol dyspepsia and weakness of the stomach, and in some cases arc saiil to prove beneficial. Many per sons who think good bread and milk a great luxury frequently hesitate to < at it. for the reus >h that milk will not digest readily; s varn&^s of the 6d.oma.ch will often follow. But cx pcrlCice proves that lime, water and ' milk aie not only food and medicine j at an early period of life, but also at I a later, w hen, as iu the case of infants, the functions of digestion and assimila tion have been seriously impaired. A stomach taxed by gluttony, irrita- ; ted by impn-pur food, inflamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise unfilled for its duties, will resume its work, and do it encrga tically, on an exclusivo diet of bread | and milk and lime water. To a gob 1ft of cr w's milk one may add four table spoonfuls of lime water with good effect. The way lo male lime water is 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; ttie lime settles, leaving tho pure and clear water at the top. Great care should be taken not to r,et the lime water too strong. Keep til the direc tions as to the consistency, and when the water rises pour it off without obtaining any of the lime. ? Herald of 1 h ?Ith. Expulsion of Flies. Tor three y*>ars 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. 1 often congratulated myself on my escape, but never knew tho reason of it until two days ago. I than had occasion to move my goods to another house, whilo 1 remained for two days longer. Among other things moved wore two boxes of geraniums and calceolarias, which stood in my windows, being always open to full extent, top and bottom. The boxes were not gone half an hour bofore ] my room was as full of flies as those around inc. This, to 1110, is a now discovery, and perhaps it may serve to encourage others iu that which is always u source of pleasure, viz., window gardening. Small Farms. Small farms make near neighbors; they make plenty of good schools and j churches; there is more money made 1 in proportion to the labor; lens labor | is wanted; everything U kept nj&t; lees wages have to be paid for help; leas time is wasted; more IB rowed to tho Here, because it is tilled better; there is no watching of hired men; the mind is not k?*pl iu a/ worry, a stew, a net, ull the time. There is not much 'fear of 'u drouth, of Wet weather, of a frost, of smull 'prices. There is- not so much money to b6 paid out for agricultural impletneuUa Our wives and children have time to rend, to improve their minds.> A small horse is soon curried; and tho work on a small farm is always1 push* ed fur ward in season. ? ? ? M> ft I Object Last Thursday night a colon;!' couple were married at the M jtho Us . (colored) Church: Itacefne a Certain old man named Ctesar Wbitehetvi had been flying around the damsel lor about three years, and when the question was propounded by tho minister, if any one had any "objoj tion why these parties should not Ife joined in the holy bonds of uMRy mony," the old man sprAug'iip fterV ously and said, "Yes.T objeet^ fbr de cause dat man can't give dat;'ojftan bread enough to ent?and- for' dat cause 1 object." The otdinun-wa? promptly ejected and the c>"-reroony concluded?but ho cried, it fa said, all the following day for his "lo-it brido."?Burke County ?erald. Pluck vs. Judgment. ' : T* Lrtit Alst Hid I A litilts, scraggy, cantankerous bull that could not be kept inside of any lot that was over fenced in CotU'oetj cut, oue day, just after the railrva 1 between Hartford and Spriug?cld wa* made, broke out of hi* pasture,and mado for tho rajhqad. His ?V?Ugr saw the tipcHd,ofJ>i>^^dja.appp^r ovor tho fence, and "put" for himiho best he could. Just u.< he reached the railroad along came a train at full speed. And there stood his bulj on the track, with his head, bint down, and ready for a fight with tho loco motive. The old man t>houted,at th* top of bis voice, "Go it, yuu li.tle cues; I admire your pluck, b it des pise your judgment!" A Gentleman. Tho first mark of a gentleman is proper regard for the leelings of others, aud a toau's own good bread ing is tho best security against other people's ill manners. Good breading is tho result of much good sense, soruj good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others. Gentility is neither in birth, wealth, manner nor fashion, but iu the mind. A high sense of honor, a determina tion never to take a mean advantage of another, an adherence to tinj truth, delicacy aud politeness towards those with whom wo havo dealings, are tha essential characteristic* of a gentle man. The Washington correspondent of tho Savannah "News" notes, as nuo of the signs of the times, that during the first year that Hayes was in offieo, such men as Chandler, Anthony and the stalwarts generally, uever called on him. At the same time, such mon as Gordon, Lamar, Hayard and others did. Now such men a3 Chand ler, Anthony and tho stalwarts gen erally, daily troad the White House carpets and such men as Gordon, Tjs n?ar, Bayard and others never darken the doors of that, whiff pile of ma sonry. The stalwart visitors are doubtless imparting tho noeossiry rigidity to the Presidential column* Pcoria "Call:" A young mac of Teutonic parentage got a marriage license at tho Court House a few days since, and remarked, as ho turned to go: "By Shorgo, this is the most handiest gourt house iu theguniry. You gits your marriage license in the room, un den you can shtop right into Shudgo Yado's room and get married, and (ion you can yoost go up stairs in the Zircuit Gourt und get a divorce.*'
