Every motion of the treadle makes six stitches, thus produc ing about one-third more work in a day than othor Sowing Maeinnas. it has no stop motions, and tightens the stitch with the needle out of the fabric, it uses the well-known Wilson Compound Feed on both sidos of the noodlo* It Bias two:thirds less parts than any othor first-class Sewing Machine. Its arm Is fully eight and one-half inches long and flvo and one-half Inches high, and the whole Machine is very compactly and scien tifically constructed in proportions, elegance, design and appear* tince.

Editor Orqiigebttrjj Time* : The Heavens are clear and the skies are blue in the Fork of the Fdistos,?the sun shines unveiled by a cloud?the stars eoine out spright ly unhazed, and Luna, though a very modest queen, travels her rounds with nuked face and with a "soft smile" for all. Corn is growing, and gives goocf*promise. Cotton nourish ing, and farmers are already indulg ing in sweet visions of silver eagles in the near]future. The public highways arc in "apple pie" order, bridges safe?no more roads to cu* and squabble over?our little sister Hamberg gets what she expected oijt of the Fork, ami she is happy in the prospect, of soon being a full grown woman,?even with a pin-bark and a long train. "The Midnight Lino" has jumped the track and no longer "comes immbling through the land"?she's ditched?collnpscd! "I'nvsan" is no longer forked or tin shy?bis voice is not heard in the land. He is cither in the grass, drowned iu Robert Swamp?or may be he has again betaken upon himself the task of manufacturing sermons. This, us he testifies, generally quiets him and keeps? him still for sometime. "Pnysnn" sermonizing! He must? he docs remember the good impress ions left upon his youthful mind at "Spring Branch" in years long past, and it certainly must gratify the in structor, who taught his young ideas how to "fork and flash and sermon ize/' to see the bread east upon the waters returning after many days. Hut he must rouse himself and get out his lightning and strikc around generally. Theretare subjects enough to keep him busy, and it is but just to keep t hings'livcly. "Critic" doe.s his duty, and we get "ash element," "Pea vines," "rust proof oats," "cotton culture," all from his sect ion id* the Fork. AucU, - f^iMfffflpijPK,L~rrow irhd Hten "stirs up", the candidates, which causes the ever polite Col. to make just three bows where he had been making but two before, and brings a "smile" to his "face" us radiant as a morning in May. We don't allude, to the kind of "smile" which sonic of your ronders.inay think of when they see this remark, but the sort which is used in reference to the "moon" iu the commencement of this article. It is hoped that "Critic" and "iKsctllnpias" will keep on as it is the wish of every man to know how to plant, and who to vote for in the t 'onvention. But where is "Bob" and "('more?*' Have they all hung their harps upon tho willow? lias that new steamer, which I hear you have over, in Orange burg dampened their order, and cur ed these wretched cases of "cacocthes seribendi" with which they were afflicted, by Hydropathie trentmcntV Come i-outii Gkxti.kmkn! All of Un roots and gullies in your streets have not been attended to yet, and the steamer, 1 am informed, is under look and key now, and as the novelty of the thing is somewhat over, she is likely to stay so, until emergency brings her into active service. She can't hurt you now! But I have at last come to consider what was my child' object iu writing at this time and that is to congratu late you and thank you Mr.Kditnr, for the very delightful entertainment atl'orded us at the Court House on last Thursday evening. I was in duced to leave my post and come over to hear mid see, and I am in justice compelled to say that your School Exhibition was second to none which I have ever attended. Such coolness ami precision, such ease and grace, such distinct utterance and perfect enunciation are seldom seen in those so young, and show at. once a training intelligent, and correct, and which can only be attained by the most patient and assiduous labor on the part ?f the instructor. You de serve the hearty welldone, the liberal patronage and the substantial sup ?portof the community in which you reside; but men are so constituted as not. to realize these great opportuni ties until they arc past. Then re grets are useless. One thing did much to prevent my enjoyment on Thursday evening. I said I came to henr and see. I did hear and enjoyed as far as possible through that, faculty, but I could not sec much. Some young man, who I suppose wanted to see more than I did, was not satisfied to sit upon the seat and give nie nud my folks an equal chance, but must needs "plant" himself upon the .back of the bench j and completely shut out wdmt was transpiring from our view, and he was not a handsome fellow tut her. Had Rome doubts as to the propriety I of his position, but thought if it gratified Iiis vanity to "show him self" before that Intelligent audience, possibly he should be indulged, and I hud not the heart to spoil his way of enjoying the evening, and some fur ther" reflections evolved the following fact, homely men are? The fifnt men to show it, The last men to know it. Mr. Editor, I don't know when 1 can leave my post again, but I shall keep strict watch, and if ever ? gentleman gets between our folks and something they desire to see again, they may expect another shot from, I'ick kt. ? ???? - ? ?i?? Orangcburg Agricultural Society?Lust ?Saturday's Meeting. In spite of the inclemency of the weather, n goodly number of the members of the Society assembled in the Fair Building on Saturday in quarterly session. Dr. Barton, the President, called the meeting to order, and Mr. Kirk Robinson was in his seat as Secre tary. The report of the Committee of ten on factory was called for, and we regret to say' t hat "no progress" was the answer returned by (he Chairman, Mr. Higgs, and the Com mittee was discharged. President Barton presented the following ques tions to the Society sent him by the Commissioner of Agriculture for dis cussion : 1st. Ate there any diseases among stock, ami what is the remedy? Maj. A. M. Snllcy stated that he had cholera among his hogs. That his remedy was to keep the sick and well Separated, to dissolve I oz. crude carbolic acid In water, give one pint at a ?lose, twice a day. and that he was successful, Mr. W. T. Mullcr had done the same successfully. Mr. Iladdley stated that he had tried with success ashes charcoal and a little turpentine. .Mr. ('. F. Ochtels tried with suc cess charcoal in slops,. .Air. .1. \V. H. Dukes thought the latter nil that was necessary. -l\w\. Ait-there any oh^i'Trorifms to lisll in any of the streams of the ('?unity? To this question no answer was given, and the matter referred to fish warden Harle v. 3rd. A re fa l iners progressing well with their crops? To this question affirmative ans wers were given bv Capt. .7. L. Moor er, Mr. N. M. Rilcy, A. M. Sallcv ami .1. W. II. Dukes. ?Ith. What is the comparative area devoted to various crops? To this question, after various esti mates given by Capt. Moorcr, and Messrs. Dukes. Rilcy, Hen net, Zim merman. Mack ay, Cooke, Snllcy and Itcckwith, the following estimate made by President Ihirton was adopt ed as the sense of the So-doty: Cotton, 40 p. e. of the cultivated land. Corn, 30 p. c. of the cultivated land. Oats, 20 p. c. of the cultivated land. Wheat, 6 p. c. of the cultivated land. Ii ice, 4 p. c. of the cultivated land. ?tll. What is the prospect of the fruit crop? Upon this question various opin ions were expressed by Dr. Cooke, ("apt. Felder. Messrs. C. W. Culler, N. M. Rilcy, W. V. Izlar. II. Biggs, M. L. Baldwin, H. M. Moorer, lleek with and Sinoak, which werecvenly divided between good and ordinary. tlth. Arc more or less fertilizers used? After discussion, it was decided by a vote to put it down at '27* percent, more used this year than last. 7th. Are the people buying more or less supplies than last year? To this it was decided that more were bought. 8th. Do the people resort to lien or mortgage in running their crops? The answer was, to both, but thai this business was chiefly confined to the colored people. IHh. What is the comparative con dition and price of labor? The opinion was thai there is little or no change in this particular. Kith. Is there any improvement in the breed of stock? The consideration of this question developed the fact that in some parts of our County there is, in others there is not. By an interchange of views the following was ascertained as to the condition of the present crop: The Cotton, Corn and Oats wore pronounced good, and Wheat rusting but fair. Dr. Cooke proposed the following question for discussion: Does it pay to plant wheat? Mr. IL M. M borer said t hat the ad vantage of wheat was that you can plant two crops on the same land. Mr. Rilcy coincided with Mr. Moorer. Mr. Dukes thought it would pay if a man had but little land, but that iL woitld not If lie' had a plenty of land as other crops would make more. Mr. Salley said its paying depend ed on the adaptability of the soil. Mr. Midler thought if a man lives near tht' thrashers it would pay. Mr. J. ,7. Salley thought it would pay Mr. liadley thinks the same. Dr. Barton remarked facetiously that he had planted wheat a longtime, and while In; did not Make money out of it. lie enjoyed hotter biscuits. A vote however bei hg taken on the sub ject, it was decided in the negative* Mr. \V. 1'. Liadley proposed the following question for discussion at the next meeting: What will he the most advantage ous way of getting labor in the future? The meeting then adjourned and the Society and guests moved up stairs to partake of a bounteous lunch prepared by the Committee, and to test Dr. Barton's seupperuong. At this, as well as at all the other stages of the meeting, the Times was on hand and is nlde to pronounce the whole affair a most agreeable one. Long may the farmers live thus to meet in social union. BOOK FAItMINhf ^ANlT ITS ADVAN TAGES. Editor Times : It may astonish you, that Critic should select this subject, in au age of progress, to write upon to his brother farmers, lmt I assure you, that there is much ignorance or rather prejudice, in the minds of the gener ality td* farmers against Book farm ing, which should not be. Unfortu nately, men who are passionately fond of communicating their agricul tural knowledge, are poor farmers, lmt this is not a proof that their the ory is not correct. Wo frequently hoar farmers say, Mr. Dixon Is a humbug, a failure, ami such like ex pressions. We have even heard simulnr expressions about Critic, that he uses'more fertilizers than he represents. Criiic.writes under an assumed minie, ggd'cit"" m i \ 11 <f ^m^? if VTiTs 1 ? rotT/ior" farnr>r disbolieves him or not. All I have to say, is, that I demonstrate the theory 1 preach, in my fields, which I am willing to show to any one. But to be practical. Has book fanning been advantageous to mo? I answer, yes! For the proof. In a hook containing Mr. Dixon's lettets I rend and digester! the experi ments of the French chemist, M. Villo. which has enabled mc to grow oats successfully, and I believe to grow wheat. Dr. Ravencl'8 experi ments, are siftiilar, and my frieud, (lharly Culler from St. Matthews, has grown twenty-live bushels per acre of wheat. The groat secret of success in farming, is to know what plant food the crop requires. From what I can learn from books, I believe the true cause of our failure to raise wheat, clover, and the grasses, is a deficiency of lime in our soil. The chemist M. Yille has proven in (lower pots and the open fields, that when lime, potash, phospate of lime, and ammonia was applied to the soil, the yield was greatest, and the land needed no rest ?ts long as these exist ed in the soil. One farmer the other day remarked to mo, that there was no use to bother one's brain with agricultural chemistry, that a com mon flintier could not follow them. 1 will show how to follow M. Villo. Spread leaves and straw broadcast on the land, applying Dr. Bavanor? ash element thereon, sow peas and when matured, plow under, and you will have the plant food to suit all, and every crop. CltlTlC. An ice machine jtist set to work in New York produces ten tons of lee in thirty six hours. It consists of ri large tank in which galvanized sheet-iron boxes full of water arc placed, each box being forty two inches long, twelve inches wide and six inches deep.
