W. hCorcoran, of Washington, D. C., the .philanthropist, accompanies a biographi? cal sketch of that gentleman, aud a descrip? tion, with illustration, of the famous .institution known as "The Louise Home?" Besides the usual presidential portrait, there is ? large number of handsome cots illustra? ting, fashions and fancy work. There are some especially good short stories this month, besides the interesting serials, "tinder Gray Skies," and "Dreeing of the Weird," the .last of which is drawing to a close. "Marjorie's ] Knight," and "The Professor" are both good stories, and there is some commendable work in the shape of shorter sketches. A sprin? kling of pretty poems fills out the literary part of the bookend the-balance Of the read? ing matter is made np oi useful information ?bn almost every point that can interest a lady, be she a quiet borne body, whose inter? ests are in housekeeping'and family affairs, or a brilliant" woman of society. Godey's Lady s Book never appeared to better *dvan? tage than xt;does under its present manage? ment. Every month it offers some new at? traction, and wins fresh laurels! It is one of the pob?ictttioRj thae.Tgrow old .gracefully, renewing its youth'-With each coming genera? tion, and seeming, like the phoenix, to be born for eternity. The Laurensville Herald comes out in en? larged form and in partly new dress from a new power press. We congratulat%our friends upon their prosperity, for they richly merit it They have given the people of j Laurens a good County paper, and the people of Laurens reciprocate by patronizing it, which is just as it should be. The Herald in closiog the notice of it3 enlargement sayB : "If the people desire a good County paper, one in which they may feel a just pride, tbey must support it liberally-not only subscribe, but pay for it. Tbe appearance and general contents of the local paper is invariably taken by those at a distance as a fair reflex of the intelligence, liberality and culture of the community io which it is published." The American Agricultitrist for February is as pretty as a pink. In looking over such a magnificent farmers' magazine one is almost tempted to be a farmer any way so as to test the many new and improved methods of mak? ing a living oat of old Mother Earth.

Harrison, Atlanta, Ga., at $1.50 per annum. We will club it with thc Watchman and Soutltron at $3.35 for both. Good Roads-Hurrah for Sumter ! Fr?mern inspection of the Couuty Commis? sioners' office, which for the nonce looks like i hard-ware store, we infer that Sumter is to nave good roads in the future. ?? They have ?nough spades, shovels and picks there to dig lown Sumter's Mount, or.at least a part of it, J ind these shovels, ?c. are to be used by i tn pe* ^unions road, workers, who have no tools, in 1 improving our atrocious public roads. Now if the Coco ty Commissioners, will, only con? tinue the good work and seethat' these tools ire profitably used on the roads, (and we think they, will) we will promise to stop our fault finding on the road question. Working the road is the most economical business one. caa engage in, provided it is well done. It laves more horse flesh, wagons, harness, lost time, and undue exhibitions and ebullitions of temper than any other remedial agent U^M^ be deviled. So we say h a rrah for 0|fl Commissioners, and may the gtfl which prompted the beginning of tfl H carry thea on to a successful conclujior^^^ - A Sad Tragedy?:? c i .In. the JVews and Courier last Sunday was thejollo'wi?g dispach : "JACKSOKVJLLB, Fla., January 15.-A spe? cial 'to the Times-Union says ;.. .'T. S. Well done and wife, a young couple from South Carolina, were accidentally drowned on Tues? day, while iishinjj from a boat on Lake Mine ola* near A ?toona, Fla. The bodies were recovered.' " * I Saturday Mr. "W. M. TeLorme -received A letter from Mr.' Y:~S.* Ricbbpurg giving the particulars bf the sad event. He, with Mr. Sidney Weldon, and bis wife, were fishing in - a lake near home, when the bcftt accidentally capsized. Mr. Rich bourg helped Mr. Weldon to get bis wtfe on the overturned boat and s-warn-to- the shore for help. Not being able to-g?t>another boat, he swam back with three other men and endeavored to posh the boat to shore, but it became unmanageable and sank, and Air. and Mrs Weldon were both drowned. Mrs. W. was the eldest daughter of Mr. J. H. Bracey, who moved to Altoona, Fla., several years ago. Mr. Weldon was raised in this county, and is a brother of. Mr. JPFHlis Wel? don, of Mechanics vii le. He . went .batato Florida hist year, and married' Miss Mamie Bracy abou t six months ago. ' \\- ., Mysterious Death.. Mr. Sam Davis, bf" Somter^liad a brother, living near Lanes, in Williamsburg ConntyV Last Tuesday, the 13th instant, bewent into the woods with bis goo, and not returning as. ear Ly as was expected, sear ch was made: 'The. woods were found to be on fire, and in the fire * neap the stump^?f a tree his body was found, badly burned and with -bis neck broken. No one being with bira; the mauser of bis death is unknown, but th? supposition isthat he climbed upon the stump - for some purpose, and falling, broke bis neck, and the gan being accidentally discharged, set fire to the woods. < . Since the above was in type we learn that the yoong man was nametTMarioo Davis and was but 15 years old. The load of the gun entered <vhis? abdomen and passed through his"body? Terpsichorean. The ball given at" tb? J?r?rey ?onse ?asjtj Wednesday night, was greatly enjoyed ; by those who attended. TheVrooms were most tastefully decorated ^by.Mrs. . Jeryey assisted by Mrs^ Bowman. ' A unanimous vote of thanks are hereby returned to her for that and many other kindnesses. Last night there was another dance at the same place. It was largely attended, and was a pleasant occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Jer* vy exerted tbeftttel ves Ho ibo "utmost . in adding to the enjoyment of the occasion. ("For the Watchman and Southron .J A Dream. During a recent visit to the town of Sumter I was pleased ttf see b"dw'rap??^-?he|work*of rebuilding the burnt district was progressing, and also to witness the architectural im? provement upon the past. May the devobr ing element never again be the cause of such changes! ^ttiikving costme a night's rest and ;mueu. fatigue to reach the town, I took' a seat tn a cosy chair in the office of our.worthy clerk of the court in order to rest, and ^refresh myself, and unconsciously feU'rnio''ardo2e.v * '"" Tbe last object that my eyes rested upon, and the one that occupied ray thoughts be? fore I became ' unconscious laid- the foouda tion of a dream. This object was the promi? nent, massive and centrally-located brick building, located very properly near the Tem* pie of Justice, and having painted upon it in very large Setters the word "PALACE." This word "Palace" is of classical origin, and is an"attractive soubriquet for a mansion. .The great Augustus had him a mansion upon the Palatine Hill in Rome ; hence the name. In my dream I saw men-old, middle-aged and young-going io and out of this build? ing at all hours of the day and night, but' it seemed that while these visitors were inside the house a great change came over them. Their condition and behavior seemed to be completely metamorphosed. ' Some entered quietly and orderly, bot came away excited and disorderly. .Some went in apparently well, but came ont sick. Some .went in sound, but came away bruised and wounded. Some went in sober, but came away drunk., Some entered in the best-of spirits, but came out enraged, cursing and swearing. Some entered with money, but came away without it. Some entered erect and strong, but left feeble, bowed down and' staggering? Some entered clothed in their right minds, but left insane, demented. Guards were stationed round about this building, but their duty seemed to be not to protect it, nor in .any manner to prevent ingress, but rather to vi?t for the exit of the visitors, and to tackle, maul and drag all those who bad lost their reason so far ks to become indecent, quarrel? some or boisterous, or such as were iweak, maimed or otherwise disabled. This scene, so astonishing and so fearful, started a chain of reflections, although I was asleep. This bonse, dreamed I, could not be a place of refuge from any plague, or ill, or mind dis? eased. It could not be a place to preserve or retrieve pood behavior, character or fortune. Its presiding genius could not be the friend of man, but yet the house was in the center of the town-accessible - nay, legalised, li? censed, patronized, protected by the authorities of this goodly people. * * * The great bell tolled tbe hour and awoke me. Could such a frightful scene as w?s de? picted in my dream ever prove, to any extent, a reality? Ye fathers and mothers, hus? bands and wives, sons and daughters of the good old town of Sumter, if you bad a place where strong drink was indiscriminately sold, might not the awful spectacle presented to my mind in ray slumber present a parallel ? What more surely causes woe and sorrow, wounds and bruises without cause, turbulence and violem-e, the loss of property, of friends, of character, of souls, the wail of the widow and the cry of the orphan than indulgence in intoxicating drink? Go ye and sit down near a dram-shop, watch scenes that will be presented, and you will soon be enabled to conclude whether such a place is for good or for evil. Ponder whether it is better for po? licemen to be paid to hang round such a place, where, of course, they have most to do, and to knock down and drag away the wretched victims of intemperance, than to dam up the source of all these fearful evils by closing up. the dram-shops. Read the conscience-stricken editor's account in the Abbeville Press and Banner of the terrible tragedy enacted at Abbeville on Christmas Eve.

Mr. Editor: Some time having elapsed since any nae from this immediate neighbor, hood bas placed the farmers of this coun ty un? der obligations for gratuitous adrice, and yon for. matter to Hil your space with, (you know many believe you newspaper men are often hard up for something to fill up space,) so I shall proceed to make you both my debtors, Piney Woods Farmer has written you a good letter, and I think I can bear bim out in the assertion that every man can't swing on to a cow's tail witfi impunity. Some years ago I knew a boy whoseduty it.-was-to drive the cattle, evening and morning, to and from his father's loHv. The little fellow, conceived the Idea.of seizing tbie first cow he caught up. with by the tail. Throwing bis feet forward, ]-and stiffening bis joints, he would glide along at rapid speed Another boy, not so active, jatbougb t it easy enough to do, so he tries it, *ut the cow ran ?way with him and bruised him severely against a stump, ?oral-We can't all have stock farms-"H. R. T." is sit nat ed .^nicely for one and I believe he will I succeed,, but those of us who are not so situa? ted must continue to plant cotton.- It is the only thing that will command the. cash at any time. The financial condition of. our farmers is discouraging to contemplate, but I believe a better day is before us. Look at the Marlboro planter. Generally he is out of debt, and has a cozy little home. Why Is this differ? ence? Are the lands better than those of our county ? No, not naturally, but by dilligent application of manure and proper cultivation they have been brought op to their present high standard. With more manure, fewer acres} and better cultivation we .will succeed foo:* r "Let us all join : the Farmers' Club. Meet and exchange -views, give results of our ex? periments,'and the time will goon come when th?.roe?ttng of the Farmers'- Club in Sumter will be a bigger day than sales dav in Janua? ry.. N. ?. T.

J. F. M. It has been the habit of the Trial Justices of Sumter Coonty to hold all inquests over dead bodies within their reach without wait? ing to know whether the'Coroner was sick or absent. I desire to call their atteution.jo the fact that such is a direct violation of sec? tion 710 of the Rcvjsed Statutes.* Np t?&I Justice has jurisdiction within 15 miles of the Court* Hpuse, unless the Coroner fe Oik or absent. A simple statement from the' parties interested (or. even an .affidavit) that the "Cor? oner could not be found will^ not answer. If he is not absent from the town-where he re-; sides he must be found^the law Tsquirts it and if the body of any person who died of an. untimely or casual death be moved wkhoot permission of the Coroner, the person moving the body is liable under the law to fine or imprisonment.
