FOOD- FOB THOUGHT. 1; "liaiit week we finished the publication ¦of the articles from the pen of our saga¬ cious townsman, Capt. "A.T, Broyles. .'These:articles ran through three issues 'of- th:r. .Intelligencer, and Tve hope have been*arefully read by our readers, -especially by our farmers, far there is .much food for thought ia them. It would .bo ä jfjood idea to save the three articles aod read them: again carefully. They 'were jMrefully prepared, and were intend- i;tO:promote the interest of the farmer. Aa'th-gj\ appeared in separate articles, we wiirt»*y to make a summary of them. h i "first was intended to impress on ^the^mers'the importance of making ;-their':/6ffti supplies. It shows that our ¦ei^enditur^ for; the last three years on this,account have amounted in round .nujnbeirs to $580,000, a sum more than iuffiicfenl to pnt in operation five cotton anufietoiiea, with a capital of §100,000 eh;^ These outlays bave to be deduct- ^ifrouV the sales of the cotton.crop, and must reduce the profits of the farmer. He saya the farmer should make the rent 'of his land, the interest upon his capital, and-the. laborers»' wages, and that the crop,?;nfter making these allowances, should b© sufficient to leave him a clear H*~:->^profit besides, and that unless it doeB this/farming cannot bo profitable. This is'dbne.by the merchant, and those en¬ gaged in all'of the other branches of '^^iö'än^ir^i-^'.This^'he/sftjs, is' not done by Lthe-farmer, and, for the purpose of show- ingjitj in^the second article'he takes the value of the farms in this-Coun¬ ty, farming implements, horses mules, ^r7&aj ftrtilksra and agricul tural supplies represented by liens alone, as shown by the census of 1880. The Interest on these " "8um3v^vith one-third of the crop of that ryeaV,\&>r laborer's wages, amounted to $1,- }is,23i), so that the whole cotton crop, of ^s^ylw, . being. 21,897 bales, at $4&00 "per bale, and, worth $985,305. was notBuf ^¦vficiept to. cover these -allowances, and, therefore, the farmer for that year made viVna'clear-profit. It is ;hrj clear profit, ^ia^er Aeäe allowances are deducted from le crp»:, that is capital, and capital is vjhat he needs, and cannot be accumula- unUi he makes his own supplies. ' ^The third article shows that thevwago8 )f farm laborers and the value of irm-',tj1andi in manufacturing States, ire higher than in this State, which is almost!wholly, dependent on-agriculture - :2ad, further; that if our farmers would -raiseiaeir.own "supplies they might lay : up a capital'of their own, which would I enable, them either to extend their farm¬ ing operations,'or to invest it in mechaa- icalsnd manufacturing enterprises, which would increase the amount and variety of jut products and the amount of money fcrilbblation.' 'By becoming their own iufacturera, they, would be made inde¬ pendent of the' rise iu. prices of articles purchased in outside markets, occasion- ' " by trusts and protective tariffs, and enabli) themjo save at home the profits they, jay others for the things they are ?b?iged to purchase. Ähere are'6,066,000 bushels of wheat in Minnesota and Dakota this year, ^against not quite 4,000,003 last year at l^fchesame season. In Dakota the farmers 5>!;wereinanyof them too busy threshing i#tq goto the polls to vote, even though it was, the firat State election. Wheat is < better than politics. .i W; H* Ellis, of San Antonio, who is ^.gettin j; up a colony of Texas negroes to jSQttle in Mexico, talks hopefully. He -expects- to obtain from the Mexican jovernraent $2,000,000 in ca3h and 450,. JOO.acres of land. The colonists will raise cotton. In Mexico, when the seed tißin once planted, Ellis says, it grows and k lourishes for seven years, and after the ät year the planter has nothing to do jut gather nis crop. -. - -v -.- .i»- Why is it that although the increase y of the cotton crop in ithe decade between "jpand 1882 was from about 4,000,000 tö^»OOOjOOO bales, during the seven years of the present decade the increase is less than 1,000,000 bales? Does this ohow that-the consumption of cotton goods is plot increasing according-to the increase of" .ju'iation, or that the exports of cot¬ ton have not increassd the demand for cotton in foreign couu tries being supplied by Egypt and India ? This is-au interest¬ ing qaestion._. ^..The.Indian as a political factor is a f featoife of politics which is likely in the ^ near future to attract public attention. By recent acts of Congress every Indian .over 21 years of age who receives an al¬ lotment of land in severalty becomes a voter^ clothed with every attribute that ^attaches to citizenship. The successful , ;.termiua tiqn of the negotiations with ^tie Sxoiix Indians, by which they sur¬ render s/large part of their reservation in iDakota, wilkjt is estimated, by next year :sthrow. into the politics of the State the w^rtain quantity of 4.937 voters. This vote, thrown solidly, aa it probably will s, in both State and national elections, h likely to become an important factor , ia that State. Negotiations now in progress with other Indian tribes will soon make many tbousauds more Indian voters.; At the Interior Department ^XWashington, D. C, it is thought that npward.of 20^000 Indians will be entitled / "to vote in the. next Presidential election. -..

MESSRS* EdItobs: "Alliance Man,": in your last week's issue, endeavored to' reply to my suggestion as to IT ate facto¬ ries; In the first plate, Mr. "Alliance Man" ffrccseosUpon a faloe premise, for' cottöÄ lagging, weighing one pound to the yard, cannot be bought for 12} cents per yard. This year tbs co'tton cloth used as cotton covering costs 'from IG to 20 centB a pound. "fchsreiore, if it wan made heavy tnüügh to weigh a pound to the yard, it would cost at least sixteen cents a yard, according to present prices. That would mako six yards cost 96 cents instead of 75. This six pounds is Bold for 60 "cents, a loss of 36 cents to the bale. What about Jute? Jute bagging, weighing 2J- pounds to the yard, costs ten cents. Take nine yards to the bale, and that is ninety cents. This nine yards weighs 201 pounds, and issold at $2.02}, a gain or profit of.$1.12* to the bale. To this add the 53 cents loss on the cotton bagging, and you have $1.48}, the actual loss sustained by the man who uses cotton covering instead of Jute. What has my friend, "Alliance Man," n say to this? Say there are 7,000,000 bales made, what would the loss be? $10,395,000. And yet it will pay to use cotton covering. In my first suggestion I showed that it would take 106,000 bales, weighing 500 pounds each,, to cover 7,000,000 bales. This 105,000, at $50 a bale, would be worth $5,250,000, about half of the leas in the use of cotton covering. How does this sound ? My fiiocd says: "Figures will show that as long as cotton sells for less than 15c. per pound, it is to the interest of the cotton farmer to use cotton bagging." . Let me, in the best of feelings, ask "Alliance Man" to make the figures that will Bhow this. It is easy to say a thing, but it id-sometimes very turd to show it. Now, let me make one more suggestion in reference to the use of Jute bagging. The tare is five per cent., consequently thirty pounds on a five hundred pound bale. I wish to show that if the cotton farmer will take my first suggestion, and b.*ve Jute bagging made here, as It can be done, at a cost of ten cents a yard for 2} pound Jute, and put 9 yards to the bale, and use best ties, which weigh about 2 pounds, each, and put six to the bale, he will have 9 x 2£.22} pounds bagging to the bale; 6 x 2.12 pound ties to the bale; 22} x 12.34} pounds bagging and ties to the bale. Thirty pounds are taken off for tare, and 4} pounds are left for gain : OosU Sells For The 22} pound bagging... 90c. $2 25 The 12 pound Ties.28c. 1 20 Total.$118 $3 45 Gain.....$2.27. Let my friend make a showing for cotton bagging like this. In using Jute bagging use the heaviest you can get, and put on nine yards to the bale. Use heaviest ties and put six to the bale, and thus put on more than the Liverpool men "tare" off. However, we must not lose sight of the fact there is no such thing as "tare" in the United States. Here all cotton is.Bold at gros* we ight, and the cotton planter almost icvari ably parts with his interest in the cotfon he raises before it is exported, consequently he is not affect¬ ed by the tare, except so far as it affects the price of cotton. What I am trying to do is to aid the "hor ney . handed" sonsoftoilingettingat the best solution of the bagging question. Anybody who will only stop and calmly thick will Bee that it is not to the interest of the cotton farmer to cover his cotton in cotton bagging. For as stated in my first suggestion, it will al¬ ways be a los3 to buy manufactured goods and sell it again at the price of lint cot¬ ton. The consumer must sustain as a Iofa the difference in the price of manufac¬ tured and unmanufactured cotton. This is too plain to need demonstration. It is an axiomatic proposition. Let us not fuss over these questions, but calmly and carefully consider them from all sides, and finding the . truth, cling to it like "grim death' to a dead nigger." Very respectfully; Faemeb's Son. Death Ends a Murder Case. Abbeville, October 17..John T, Lyon, who was indicted for the murder of L. Mabry, and whose case was called in court yesterday and continued on ac¬ count of the critical illness of the defen¬ dant, died in jail here at 1 o'clock this morning, of nervous prostration. Lyon was 62 years of age. He was a deacon in the Presbyterian Church and had many friends and relatives throughout the County. A widow survives him.. Columbia Register. Earthquake In the Mountains. Columbia, Oct. 17..Advices from Flat Rock, *N. C, received here to-night state that sharp earthquake shocks have been felt iu the mountains and have caused considerable excitement. Night before last there was a shake so strong as almost to knock a lamp from a table in one house, while it shook down a pillar of the porch of a second residence and toppled over the chimney of a third. The quakes are said to be much more se¬ vere than were felt at the time of the great Charleston convulsion. Chester's Prize Acre of Corn. Mr. R. T. Gillespie's prize acre of corn was gathered last Thursday, the witness¬ es being F. H. Brown, Robert Glenn. A. M. Black and F. Huffman. Mr. Brown was the representative of the American Agriculturist. The yield from the acre was one hundred and ten bush¬ els and ten pounds. The manner of ascertaining the yield was as follows: Each witness gathered from the acre one hundred pounds of average ears and weighed them. The corn was then shuck¬ ed and ah et led, and each lot of one hun¬ dred pounds of ears produced eighty-one pounds, clear of the cob. From this a calculation was made of the yield of the acre, when the above amount of one hundred and ten bushels and ten pounds from the acre was obtained as the re¬ sult. Only about one bushel of unmerchant¬ able or bad corn was obtained from the acre. Some of the ears were very large and weighed each a pound and a half. The yield ought to have been greater, but the corn was much damaged by wind storms and high waters. If the remarkable corn that grew on Mr. Gillespie's acre could only produce 110 bushel and ten pounds, even if hurt by storms and water, as it was, we have much doubt about 200 bushels ever hav¬ ing been produced on an acre by any¬ body. Major White will harvest his prize acre to-morrow. Mr. W. J. Waters has been appointed to represent the American Agriculturist..Chester Reporter. Indianapolis, Oct. 17..Henry R. Smith, a junk dealer, was arrested this afternoon on a peace surety prepared by his wife. Entering the court room he saw his wife and crying out: "See what you have done," plunged a knife into her throat. The wouid proved fatal. %&\)NtY CORRESPONDENCE. Do(S Sfirbm Hamilton. Let up, please. The press of the conn- try S6em to he in a bad.fix tor some'thing to write abotft. fever smlm 'tlie election of Harrison as President, the readers of the papers have been surfeited with articles on the solution of the "negro 4oroMem," and the best that can tie saia of any of them la "that confusion is worse confounded.". Let the negro alone. The law protects him the same as It does the white man, in the rights of citizenship, and let us see what he makes 01 these great privileges. Let tip, flösse, on the interminable ntegro question. It will Set¬ tle itself If Mt alone, Another'question about which the peo¬ ple are surfeited is the tariff question. An amusing incident took place In our last Legislative can va?s, which illustrates forcibly tbo. exact status of the tariff question before the people. One of the candidates for Legislative hon¬ ors bad led off in a labored ar¬ gument on the question, which really did not interest the people of the State, as it was a National question, when one of his competitors who was announced to suc¬ ceed bim, rewarded as be commenced his speech that Bill Nye was near the truth when he said that there but two men in the United States who understood the tar¬ iff question, and one of them was dead, and the other was in the lunatic asylum. It is more of an economic question than political, anyway, and a commission of merchants, manufacturers and farmers could settle this whole question on busi¬ ness principles in half the time, and tar more satisfactorily than a Congress of politicians is likely to do. There are other practical questions looming up before the people which ought to engage more of the attention of our editors than these threadbare questions of the negro problem and the tariff. For instance, so far as this State is concerned tb'e people are more interested On the subject of tax¬ ation and public education. Giles J. Pat¬ terson, of Chester, has recently contribu¬ ted an exhaustive article on taxation, which ought to be discussed thoroughly by the press of the country.. The public school system needs improvement, so that they may become, to the masses of onr people, the colleges of the land. Then there Is tb'e road law, which concerns everybody, and its comitamt, an effective drainage law. This last more immedi¬ ately involves tbe general health of our County, and is therefore entitled to tbe first consideration. And then, for varie¬ ties sake, if we must have a National Stestion of great practical importance, let e press agitate tbe currency question. Some of these questions, as for instance the free Coinage of silver, was bravely introduced to. public attent ion by Mr. Ter¬ rell, the Alliance Lecturer. In this field of discussion there is- ample room for a display of the editorial talent cf the State. Let up on the. negro and the tariff, and give us something practical. Mrs. W. I. Kendrick, and Misses Mamio and Fanny, daughters, of Green¬ ville, are on a visit to .her Bister, Mrs. E. A. Russell, of Hamilton. They bring good newB from Greenville as to the pro¬ ductiveness of the present crop. Cotton is resuming her u way as king, at least in the South. Within a radius of two miles we can count eht cotton gins in full blast. Cotton need is becoming an importer faction in the value of this qrop, but we would warn the farmers against tbe delusion of selling the cotton seed from the farm. As a fertilizer, It is nnequaled for cotton or wheat. T. H. R. Anderson* Ule :itemr. We had a pleasant visit from our much esteemed friend, Rev. T. W. Vernon, of Georgia, a few days ago. He reports good crops in bis travels, but thinks cotton has been overestimated to some extent, as so many had to replant, and it will be too late to mature. He is President of the Hart Connty Allianos, and is very hope¬ ful for the farmer. Mr. Vernon is one of Georgia's best men. He has passed bis three-score year, and is still hale and hearty, and can pick his hundred pounds of cotton yet in one day. We are glad to hisar that Mis. W. H. Brown, who has been very low for some time with fever, is able to be up again. Mrs. Rebecca Durham, who has been visiting her daughter near Varennos, has returned to her son's, W. B. Durham, after an absence of three months. She was in very feeble health on tier return, but is now able to plok cotton. Mr. J. R. Caldwell has about completed his dwelling house. It is a very substan¬ tial one and does crediit to the workmen, Messrs. Bobo <fc Edwards. The good people of this section have organized a prayer meeting at Shady Grove school house, which meets regu¬ larly every SundayEvening, and is largely attended by both old and young. We hope great pood may be accomplished through the instrumentality of the meet¬ ing. Mrs. Henry Caldwell, an esteemed lady, has been very low, but at this writing is thought to be a little on the mend. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Rev. J. T. W. Veirnon will preach at Andersonville the 4tfa. Sunday in October, at eleven o'clock, if not providentially hindered. The Good Book suys "Judge not, that ye be not Judged," and again, "Judge a tree by its fruit." Now, we judge from tbe actions of a certai n young couple not far off, we hope ere long to have the pleas¬ ure of, writing a raiuriage notice. We hope our name will, not be forgotten. Hav'nt been to none in a long time! Mr. D. M. Tippens bad the misfortune to lose a valuable young cow, and her death is a mystery. Her maw was bunted.whether from e. fall some time ago, or from eating a piece of glass and it cutting its way through.we do not know. Ray, Five Forks Items. Our crops are turning out somewhat less than we once thonght. The frost has cut some of our cotton badly. One of our neighbors thinks his crop is not more than one-half open as yet, and the bolls are dead, but we hope he will be mistaken, to some extent at least. There have been several new, commodi¬ ous dwellings erected in our neighborhood this Fall. Messrs. T. M. Welborn and C. M. Duckworth have finished theirs. The Alliance is still growing, and our farmers are determined to "stick." Messrs. Duckworth and Welborn have ginned 176 bales of cotton and covered but one with jute. What neighborhood or Al¬ liance can say more? We are not howling as loud as some, but we are 'sticking." Dr. Duckworth will leave about the 29th of this month for New York to take a post¬ graduate course in medicine. Our country will be lost without him, not only pro¬ fessionally but as a citizen. Dr. M. L. Sharps will be with us while our Doctor is absent. He will come aH near filling his place as any one in our knowledge, as he has many staunch friends in this section. Mr. D. P. Bowen has sold his place to Prof. Holland and bought the old home¬ stead of the late Dr. Mil ford. He will move soon. Rev. A. A. Marshall preached to a large congregation Sunday evening. His theme was "Final perseverance of the Saint3." His discourse was replete, showing the im- Eossibility for a man to he lost after once orn into the kingdom of God. He is giv¬ ing us a series of doctrinal sermons, and those who miss them are missing a rare treat, as well as permanent food lor their souls. The Pendlutou, Hopewell and Lebanon Churches have ngreed to call the same pas¬ tor. We have invited Rev. Mr. Yarbo- rough to preach before the churches, and if we like him will give him a call. He will preach at Hopewell next Saturday at 11 o'clock, at Pendieton Sunday, and Lebanon Sunday night. We hope the members generally will turn out and hear him. W. ' A Visitor's; Impression of Anderson. Mr. Frank McKinney, one of Ander¬ son's pleasant and accom modating police¬ men, kindly showed us around the city one day last week. Standing in front of the Court House, he pointed out the most prominent build¬ ings of the city, and briefly narrated their history. Our curiosity being excited, we desired to learn more of these buildings and, led by Mr. McKinney, we at once proceeded to the Anderson Hotel, which is, beyond doubt, tbe largest hotel wo have seen In the State. The rooms are commodious and well ventilated, and when completed will have all the modern improvements.everythitig necessary to the comfort of the weary traveller. The modern elevator, by which one can be quickly rasied from the first to the fourth uoor. or lowered from the fourth to the first floor, will evidently be of incalculable advantage to this finely located and at¬ tractive hotel. Tbe culinary department, where viands rare are to be prepared to strengthen the "inner man," if well ar¬ ranged. The dining room Is commodious, and is well in keeping with the other por¬ tions of the building. The largo halls on the second, third and fourth floors will amply accommodate many visitors dur¬ ing the Christmas festivities, Fourth-of- Jul}' dinners, and during other important occasions. On reaching the top of this hotel, which is a long distance from the ground, our guide pointed' out to us the different places of iuterest, even those which could be seen northward in the far distance among the rugged cliffs of the Blue Ridge Mountains, or those located in the Has rugged southern or- eastern portions of this "Eden of America".An¬ derson County. ., r.

This is ä fine building, and is nearly completed. Here, too, Mr. McKinney showed lis a number of rooms which, when completed, ara to^be rised as law offices. Just at the neati of the stairway on the Reccnd lloor is a very large room, which is 16 be fitted up for theatrical pur¬ poses. . The nexl; place of interest reached was the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, which is by far the most beautifully finished bank we have seen In the up-country. Here we had the pica.-ure of cultivating the acquaintance of Mir. J. R. Vandiver, the p'olitb aha accommodating Cashier, and here, coo, It Wais our pleasure to re¬ ceive an introduction to the genial Mr. J. Boyce Burxiss, teller of this well-manag¬ ed bank. We completed our rounds by visiting the Hubbard Bros. JeWelry Store, which is very attractive Indeed and reflects grrat credit on these energetic and deserving young geatlemen. Many thanks to you, Mr. McKinney, for your kindness. Visitor. Hoaea Fath Itotm. Our town Is alive with bu siness jus now. Cotton, cotton,, cotton and cotton seed are all the (50. Our merchants are selling goods very low. Tbe Alliance Store is in full blast with accommodating salesmen. They seem to be doing well. Be it said to the honor of our merchants that they have all treated tbe Alliance Store with much respect. Messrs. Shirley, Finley & Shirley have employed our popular young friend, Mr. T. J. Clutwortby, as salesman in tbeir store. We extend to bim our hand of welcome. Make yourself at home among us, "Thomas." About twenty bales of cotton caught on fire at the gin of Mr. C. E. Harper, but by the timely assistance of many friends the fire was extinguished before much damage was donfr. Messrs. Ö. M. Greer and C. E. Harper have been very sick, but are on the street again. Mrs. T. H. Brock and Johnnie Kirkpatrick are very sick, but we trust they will be well soon. Messrs. J. R. Donald and T. R. Finley are on a trip to Charleston with a Car load of cattle. Our ChürbheS in this community are alKdoing well. Rev. R. J. Williams, of Greenville, has been called to preach for the Baptist Church at Shady Grove twice a month. Barker's Creek and Honea Path Baptist Churohes have re-elected Rev. D. W. Hiott for another year. Mt. Bethel Baptist Church re-elected Rev. B. Hayes. He has been pastor for more than twenty years. Mr. H. S Shumate has moved his fam¬ ily to town. We extend to them, on be¬ half of tbe town, the hand of welcome A good many of our citizens went up to Anderson Tuesday. We suppose they went to see the show. We have been wondering how much money Church members will spend to see the show ? We expect they will give.that is some of them.as much to see. tbe show as they have given during the year for missions. But of course they, e. g. Church members, just go to let the children see the animals, nothing more. Our people will give an ontertainmcnt or hot supper on Friday night, tbe 8th of November next, for the benefit of the school bouse. The people of Honea Path never make a failure in anything of the kind, so «et everybody who can save a lit¬ tle money and come to the bot supper. It is thought that some of our bachelors will get off soon. We heard tbe other day that one of our .merchant bachelors was so attentive to a certain young lady that when she came into the store that he would not let the clerks wait on her, but he would wait on her himself. Our young friend, W. Glenn McGee, has decided to study Denttstryjundtr the pop¬ ular Dentist of Anderson, Dr. A. C. Strick¬ land. We wish him much success in his chosen profession. W. C. Bowen, of Little River section, has decided to make an M. D. of himself. We wish him much pleasure and success. Mr. Thad. Galnes, of Townvllle, was on a visit to specialfriends here last week. Messenger Notes from Townvllle. After a protracted visit here, Miss Mag¬ gie Matt is on has returned to Greenville. Miss Lessie Moore, of Anderson, spent several days pleasantly among friends here last week. Col. John G. Cox, who last Spring in¬ vested in real estate at and near the grow¬ ing city of Amorillo, in the Panhandle of Texas, returned last week to assist his Barents in their departure for their future ome in Grayson County, Texas. An enterprising young roan of this place has possessed himself of a first-class planing machine, and it Is a pleasure to note that his venture is meeting with suc¬ cess. Few places as remote from railroads have such a convenience. . Dr. W. K. Sharp,' with his little sens, John and Vandiver, is on a visit to bis brother, Col. J. J. A. Sharp, at Walesca, Cherokee County, Ga. The Doctor will do tbe Piedmont Exposition enpassant The Methodists at Smith Chapel, with commendable spirit, have put blinds in the windows of their Church. No other Church in all this Fork country has blinds. The Fork points with pride to the fact that two of her young men at tbe Patrick Military Institute of the city of Auderson .Lawrence Leroy Hatcher and Albert 8idney Farmer.have been made 'com¬ missioned officors In the Institute battal¬ ion. Rev. J. R. Earle has beeu re-elected to supply the Baptist Congregation at this place for next year, which will be his tenth consecutive year in this pastorate. Mrs. H. T.

Mr. Editoe: Your Brushy Creek cor¬ respondent made a mistake in reporting Spence Collins' fodder pulling last week, which Mr. Fred. Bagwell asked me to cor¬ rect. Mr. Bagwell hired Collins to pull the fodder for fifty cents for every one hundred and fifty bundles. Collins Eulled four hundred and forty-five four and bundles for three days in succession, making a total of one thousand three hun¬ dred and uhirty-five bundles. Now, re¬ duce it to three hands to the bundle, or five hundred and ninety-three bundles per day for three days, and we have a total of one thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine three hand bundles. The fodder was counted by Mr. Bagwell, and paid for by him at the above figures. Who gets that "hat?" I go a quarter. Try, try again. Piedmonter. . Col. R. A. Child, of Pickens, one of the most talented lawyers of upper South Carolina, has decided to go from the bar to the pulpit. At the quarterly Confer¬ ence at Pickens on last Saturday Mr. Child was recommended to the Annual Conference, soon to convene, for admis¬ sion into tbe traveling connection. He has sold his valuable law library to his partner, James P. Cary, Esq., and will at once enter upon his ministerial duties. He has beeu an able local preacher in the Methodist Church for some time, and now that he relinquishes the law and devotes all his time and talent to the preaching of the Gospel, we predict for him a career of great usefulness.. Wal¬ halla Courier. A Long Winter Predicted. Portland, Oregon, October 16..N. K. Masten, formerly Cashier of the Ne vada Dank of San Francisco and a resi¬ dent of the coast for sixty years, predict* the longest and coldest winter the Pacific coast has ever experienced. "All signs go to prove that," he said. "I hav6 just come from California, and it is already begiouing to get cold. Low ranges of mountains.in fact, parts of the foothills that have never been known to have snow on them even in the dead of winter. are already covered with a while mantle aud have been for Heveral weeks. There is one, to me, significant fact, aud that is that the fall geete flight is almost over^ uow, and not one year for the last fifty1 has this flight begun until October 15." Favors Capital Punishment, Baltimore, (October 16..Cardinal Gibbons sees in the tahliness with which justice id ateled out to criminals a seri¬ ous menace to good order and good gov¬ ernment. He favors and is a believer in the efficiency of capital punishment, and is of the opinion that there are too many loopholes through which guilty persons may escape punishment fur crime. In his new work, "Our Christian Heritage," Boon to be published, the Cnrdinal says! . r - "A fcryinjj evil Is the wide interval that so bffen interposes between a criminal conviction and the.execution of the sen- tence, and the frequent defeat of justice by the delay. Human life i» indeed sa¬ cred; but the lälidable führt to guard it has gone beyond bounds. Of late years the difficulty to convict, in murder trials especially, has greatly iticreased from the widened application of the pleas in bar.notably that of iusanity. When a conviction has been reached innumera¬ ble delays generally stay the execution. The many grouads of exception allowed to the counsel, the appeals from one court to another, with final application to the Governor, and the facility with which signatures for pardon are obtained bav3 combined to throw around culprits an extravagant protective system, and gone far to rob jury trial of its substance and efficacy. A prompt execution of the law's sentence after a fair trial is that vhich strikes terror into evil doers and satisfies the public conscience. The reverse of this among us has brought reproach upnn the administration of justice, and given plausible grounds for the application of lynch law." Almost Hurled Alive. Montreal, Oct. 15..Auguste Arch- ambault, a farmer of Coaticooke, a town near Montreal, narrowly escaped being buried alive yesterday. Arcbambault, who is well off, had been seriously ill for some weeks with supposed typhoid fever. Friday night he began to sink rapidly and early Saturday all signs of life ceased, and the doctor pronounced him dead. The usual wake was held, and yester¬ day being fixed upon for burying the supposed deceased, the remains were ta¬ ken to the village church and afterward to the graveyard. Tbe friendB of the farmer were gathered around the grave, into which the coffin was being lowered, when all were startled by hearing a groan from it. The coffin was at once burst open, when it was found that Arch- arabault was alive. He was hurriedly carried to his home, and though very weak the two physicians who were called have hopes of completely restoring him to health. Very Mixed Family Relations. Jeffersonville, Ind., Oct. 16 . There lives in Union township in this County a family that can boast of tbe most curiously complicated relationship. Some years ago a widower named Hor- gan, who had a grown son, married a widow who had a grown daughter. Af¬ ter while he and hia wife secured a di¬ vorce. His son then fell In love with bis father's divorced wife and married her. The father got married to the daughter of the woman from whom he had been di¬ vorced. Each couple has children, and the two families aro terribly mixed as to their relationship. The old man is his own father in law, the brother in law of his son. and the stepfather of his wife, while the son is father in law of hia fath¬ er, h:"s own stepson, stepfather of his stepmother, and so on. The relationship of the children who are the issue of the last marriages is too complicated for any one to puzz'e his bead over.. Columbia Eegisier. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 17..Henry Wig- fall, a colored barber working in the shop of William Hunt, met with a peculiar death this afternoon. He was walking up Jones street, eating a lunch of bread and fish, when a fish bone lodged in his windpipe and pinned down tbe glottis, stopping his breath and suffocating him immediately. Di. Custis was sent for, but the man died before aid could arrive. Charleston, S. C, Oct. 18..A horri- ble outrage committed by a negro woman upon another has just come to light. A negro woman named Eebecca Parkins, on her way home from Church last night was horribly burned by a rival with a can of vitriol or concentrated lye which was thrown in her face. The victim's eyes were burned out and her face was horribly scarified. There have been no arrests as yet, but a woman who keeps company with a gardener who lives on the premises is nuspected. The two wo¬ men belong to Emanuel A.M. Church, and had been attending service. The police have charge of the case, Engine and Saw Mill for Sale.

FOOD- FOBTHOUGHT.
1; "liaiit week we finished the publication¦of the articles from the pen of our saga¬cious townsman, Capt. "A.T, Broyles..'These:articles ran through three issues'of- th:r. .Intelligencer, and Tve hopehave been*arefully read by our readers,-especially by our farmers, far there is.much food for thought ia them. It would.bo ä jfjood idea to save the three articlesaod read them: again carefully. They'were jMrefully prepared, and were intend-
i;tO:promote the interest of the farmer.Aa'th-gj\appeared in separate articles, wewiirt»*y to make a summary of them.
h i "first was intended to impress on
^the^mers'the importance of making;-their':/6ffti supplies. It shows that our
¦ei^enditur^ for; the last three years on
this,account have amounted in round.nujnbeirs to $580,000, a sum more thaniuffiicfenl to pnt in operation five cottonanufietoiiea, with a capital of §100,000eh;^ These outlays bave to be deduct-
^ifrouV the sales of the cotton.crop, andmust reduce the profits of the farmer.He saya the farmer should make the rent'of his land, the interest upon his capital,and-the. laborers»' wages, and that thecrop,?;nfter making these allowances,should b© sufficient to leave him a clear
H*~:->^profit besides, and that unless it doeBthis/farming cannot bo profitable. Thisis'dbne.by the merchant, and those en¬
gaged in all'of the other branches of'^^iö'än^ir^i-^'.This^'he/sftjs, is' not done by
Lthe-farmer, and, for the purpose of show-ingjitj in^the second article'he takes thevalue of the farms in this-Coun¬ty, farming implements, horses mules,
^r7&aj ftrtilksra and agricul tural suppliesrepresented by liens alone, as shown bythe census of 1880. The Interest on these
"
"8um3v^vith one-third of the crop of thatryeaV,\&>r laborer's wages, amounted to $1,-}is,23i), so that the whole cotton crop, of
^s^ylw, . being. 21,897 bales, at $4&00"per bale, and, worth $985,305. was notBuf
^¦vficiept to. cover these -allowances, and,therefore, the farmer for that year made
viVna'clear-profit. It is ;hrj clear profit,^ia^er Aeäe allowances are deducted from
le crp»:, that is capital, and capital isvjhat he needs, and cannot be accumula-
unUi hemakes his own supplies.' ^The third article shows that thevwago8)f farm laborers and the value ofirm-',tj1andi in manufacturing States,ire higher than in this State, which isalmost!wholly, dependent on-agriculture -
:2ad, further; that if our farmers would-raiseiaeir.own "supplies they might lay
: up a capital'of their own, which wouldI enable, them either to extend their farm¬
ing operations,'or to invest it in mechaa-icalsnd manufacturing enterprises, whichwould increase the amount and variety ofjut products and the amount of moneyfcrilbblation.' 'By becoming their own
iufacturera, they, would be made inde¬pendent of the' rise iu. prices of articlespurchased in outside markets, occasion-' " by trusts and protective tariffs, andenabli) themjo save at home the profitsthey,jay others for the things they are
?b?iged to purchase.Ähere are'6,066,000 bushels of wheat
in Minnesota and Dakota this year,^against not quite 4,000,003 last year atl^fchesame season. In Dakota the farmers5>!;wereinanyof them too busy threshingi#tq goto the polls to vote, even though it
was, the firat State election. Wheat is< better than politics..i W; H* Ellis, of San Antonio, who is
^.gettinj; up a colony of Texas negroes tojSQttle in Mexico, talks hopefully. He-expects- to obtain from the Mexicanjovernraent $2,000,000 in ca3h and 450,.JOO.acres of land. The colonists willraise cotton. In Mexico, when the seed
tißin once planted, Ellis says, it grows andk lourishes for seven years, and after the
ät year the planter has nothing to dojut gather nis crop.-. - -v -.- .i»-
Why is it that although the increasey of the cotton crop in ithe decade between"jpand 1882 was from about 4,000,000tö^»OOOjOOO bales, during the seven yearsof the present decade the increase is lessthan 1,000,000 bales? Does this ohowthat-the consumption of cotton goods is
plot increasing according-to the increaseof" .ju'iation, or that the exports of cot¬ton have not increassd the demand forcotton in foreign couu tries being suppliedby Egypt and India ? This is-au interest¬ing qaestion._.^..The.Indian as a political factor is a
f featoife of politics which is likely in the^ near future to attract public attention.
By recent acts of Congress every Indian.over 21 years of age who receives an al¬lotment of land in severalty becomes a
voter^ clothed with every attribute that^attaches to citizenship. The successful
, ;.termiua tiqn of the negotiations with^tie Sxoiix Indians, by which they sur¬
render s/large part of their reservation iniDakota, wilkjt is estimated, by next year:sthrow. into the politics of the State thew^rtain quantity of 4.937 voters. Thisvote, thrown solidly, aa it probably will
s, in both State and national elections,h likely to become an important factor
, ia that State. Negotiations now inprogress with other Indian tribes willsoon make many tbousauds more Indianvoters.; At the Interior Department
^XWashington, D. C, it is thought thatnpward.of20^000 Indians will be entitled
/ "to vote in the. next Presidential election.-.. How the red man will conduct himself
a3 a'part and parcel of the nation and; not as its ward will be watched with in¬terest by all who are interested in thesolution of the Indian problem.

Fartii?r*.* Son Replies to AllianceHan.
MESSRS* EdItobs: "Alliance Man,":in your last week's issue, endeavored to'reply to my suggestion as to ITate facto¬ries; In the first plate, Mr. "AllianceMan" ffrccseosUpon a faloe premise, for'cottöÄ lagging, weighing one pound tothe yard, cannot be bought for 12} cents
per yard. This year tbs co'tton clothused as cotton covering costs 'from IG to20 centB a pound. "fchsreiore, if it wan
made heavy tnüügh to weigh a pound tothe yard, it would cost at least sixteencents a yard, according to present prices.That would mako six yards cost 96 centsinstead of 75. This six pounds is Bold for60 "cents, a loss of 36 cents to the bale.What about Jute? Jute bagging,
weighing 2J- pounds to the yard, costs tencents. Take nine yards to the bale, andthat is ninety cents. This nine yardsweighs 201 pounds, and issold at $2.02}, again or profit of.$1.12* to the bale. Tothis add the 53 cents loss on the cottonbagging, and you have $1.48}, the actualloss sustained by the man who uses cotton
covering instead of Jute. What has myfriend, "Alliance Man," n say to this?Say there are 7,000,000 bales made, whatwould the loss be? $10,395,000. Andyet it will pay to use cotton covering. Inmy first suggestion I showed that itwould take 106,000 bales, weighing 500pounds each,, to cover 7,000,000 bales.This 105,000, at $50 a bale, would beworth $5,250,000, about half of the leasin the use of cotton covering. How doesthis sound ?My fiiocd says: "Figures will show
that as long as cotton sells for less than15c. per pound, it is to the interest of thecotton farmer to use cotton bagging."
. Let me, in the best of feelings, ask"Alliance Man" to make the figures thatwill Bhow this. It is easy to say a thing,but it id-sometimes very turd to showit.Now, let me make one more suggestion
in reference to the use of Jute bagging.The tare is five per cent., consequentlythirty pounds on a five hundred poundbale. I wish to show that if the cottonfarmer will take my first suggestion, andb.*ve Jute bagging made here, as It can
be done, at a cost of ten cents a yard for2} pound Jute, and put 9 yards to thebale, and use best ties, which weighabout 2 pounds, each, and put six to thebale, he will have 9 x 2£.22} poundsbagging to the bale; 6 x 2.12pound ties to the bale; 22} x 12.34}pounds bagging and ties to the bale.Thirty pounds are taken off for tare, and4} pounds are left for gain :
OosU Sells ForThe 22} pound bagging... 90c. $2 25The 12 pound Ties.28c. 1 20
Total.$118 $3 45
Gain.....$2.27.Let my friend make a showing for
cotton bagging like this. In using Jutebagging use the heaviest you can get,and put on nine yards to the bale. Useheaviest ties and put six to the bale, andthus put on more than the Liverpoolmen "tare" off.However, we must not lose sight of
the fact there is no such thing as "tare"in the United States. Here all cottonis.Bold at gros* we ight, and the cottonplanter almost icvari ably parts with hisinterest in the cotfon he raises before itis exported, consequently he is not affect¬ed by the tare, except so far as it affectsthe price of cotton.What I am trying to do is to aid the
"horney.handed" sonsoftoilingettingatthe best solution of the baggingquestion. Anybody who will only stopand calmly thick will Bee that it is not tothe interest of the cotton farmer to coverhis cotton in cotton bagging. For asstated in my first suggestion, it will al¬ways be a los3 to buy manufactured goodsand sell it again at the price of lint cot¬ton. The consumer must sustain as a Iofathe difference in the price of manufac¬tured and unmanufactured cotton. Thisis too plain to need demonstration. It isan axiomatic proposition. Let us notfuss over these questions, but calmly andcarefully consider them from all sides,and finding the . truth, cling to it like"grim death' to a dead nigger." Veryrespectfully; Faemeb's Son.

Earthquake In the Mountains.
Columbia, Oct. 17..Advices fromFlat Rock, *N. C, received here to-nightstate that sharp earthquake shocks havebeen felt iu the mountains and havecaused considerable excitement. Nightbefore last there was a shake so strong asalmost to knock a lamp from a table inone house, while it shook down a pillarof the porch of a second residence andtoppled over the chimney of a third.The quakes are said to be much more se¬vere than were felt at the time of thegreat Charleston convulsion.
Chester's Prize Acre of Corn.
Mr. R. T. Gillespie's prize acre of cornwas gathered last Thursday, the witness¬es being F. H. Brown, Robert Glenn.A. M. Black and F. Huffman. Mr.Brown was the representative of theAmerican Agriculturist. The yield fromthe acre was one hundred and ten bush¬els and ten pounds. The manner ofascertaining the yield was as follows:Each witness gathered from the acre onehundred pounds of average ears andweighed them. The corn was then shuck¬ed and ah et led, and each lot of one hun¬dred pounds of ears produced eighty-onepounds, clear of the cob. From this acalculation was made of the yield of theacre, when the above amount of onehundred and ten bushels and ten poundsfrom the acre was obtained as the re¬sult.Only about one bushel of unmerchant¬
able or bad corn was obtained from theacre. Some of the ears were very largeand weighed each a pound and a half.The yield ought to have been greater,
but the corn was much damaged by windstorms and high waters.
If the remarkable corn that grew onMr. Gillespie's acre could only produce110 bushel and ten pounds, even if hurtby storms and water, as it was, we havemuch doubt about 200 bushels ever hav¬ing been produced on an acre by any¬body.Major White will harvest his prize acre

Let up, please. The press of the conn-
try S6em to he in a bad.fix tor some'thingto write abotft. fever smlm 'tlie election ofHarrison as President, the readers of thepapers have been surfeited with articleson the solution of the "negro 4oroMem,"and the best that can tie saia of anyof them la "that confusion is worseconfounded.". Let the negro alone. Thelaw protects him the same as It does thewhite man, in the rights of citizenship,and let us see what he makes 01 thesegreat privileges. Let tip, flösse, on theinterminable ntegro question. It will Set¬tle itself IfMt alone,Another'question about which the peo¬
ple are surfeited is the tariff question.An amusing incident took place In ourlast Legislative can va?s, which illustratesforcibly tbo. exact status of the tariffquestion before the people. One ofthe candidates for Legislative hon¬ors bad led off in a labored ar¬gument on the question, which really didnot interest the people of the State, as itwas a National question, when one of hiscompetitors who was announced to suc¬ceed bim, rewarded as be commenced hisspeech that Bill Nye was near the truthwhen he said that there but two men inthe United States who understood the tar¬iff question, and one of them was dead,and the other was in the lunatic asylum.It is more of an economic question thanpolitical, anyway, and a commission ofmerchants, manufacturers and farmerscould settle this whole question on busi¬ness principles in half the time, and tarmore satisfactorily than a Congress ofpoliticians is likely to do. There areother practical questions looming upbefore the people which ought to engagemore of the attention of our editors thanthese threadbare questions of the negroproblem and the tariff. For instance, sofar as this State is concerned tb'e peopleare more interested On the subject of tax¬ation and public education. Giles J. Pat¬terson, of Chester, has recently contribu¬ted an exhaustive article on taxation,which ought to be discussed thoroughlyby the press of the country.. The publicschool system needs improvement, sothat they may become, to the masses ofonr people, the colleges of the land. Thenthere Is tb'e road law, which concernseverybody, and its comitamt, an effectivedrainage law. This last more immedi¬ately involves tbe general health of ourCounty, and is therefore entitled to tbefirst consideration. And then, for varie¬ties sake, if we must have a National
Stestion of great practical importance, lete press agitate tbe currency question.
Some of these questions, as for instancethe free Coinage of silver, was bravelyintroduced to. public attent ion by Mr. Ter¬rell, the Alliance Lecturer. In this fieldof discussion there is- ample room for a
display of the editorial talent cf the State.Let up on the. negro and the tariff, andgive us something practical.
Mrs. W. I. Kendrick, and MissesMamio and Fanny, daughters, of Green¬ville, are on a visit to .her Bister, Mrs. E.A. Russell, of Hamilton. They bringgood newB from Greenville as to the pro¬ductiveness of the present crop.Cotton is resuming her u way as king, at
least in the South. Within a radius oftwo miles we can count eht cotton gins infull blast. Cotton need is becoming animporter faction in the value of thisqrop, but we would warn the farmersagainst tbe delusion of selling the cottonseed from the farm. As a fertilizer, It isnnequaled for cotton or wheat.

We had a pleasant visit from our muchesteemed friend, Rev. T. W. Vernon, ofGeorgia, a few days ago. He reports goodcrops in bis travels, but thinks cotton hasbeen overestimated to some extent, as somany had to replant, and it will be toolate to mature. He is President of theHart Connty Allianos, and is very hope¬ful for the farmer. Mr. Vernon is one ofGeorgia's best men. He has passed bisthree-score year, and is still hale andhearty, and can pick his hundred poundsof cotton yet in one day.We are glad to hisar that Mis. W. H.
Brown, who has been very low for sometime with fever, is able to be up again.Mrs. Rebecca Durham, who has been
visiting her daughter near Varennos, hasreturned to her son's, W. B. Durham,after an absence of three months. Shewas in very feeble health on tier return,but is now able to plok cotton.Mr. J. R. Caldwell has about completed
his dwelling house. It is a very substan¬tial one and does crediit to the workmen,Messrs. Bobo <fc Edwards.The good people of this section have
organized a prayer meeting at ShadyGrove school house, which meets regu¬larly every SundayEvening, and is largelyattended by both old and young. Wehope great pood may be accomplishedthrough the instrumentality of the meet¬ing.Mrs. Henry Caldwell, an esteemed lady,
has been very low, but at this writing isthought to be a little on the mend. Wewish for her a speedy recovery.Rev. J. T. W. Veirnon will preach at
Andersonville the 4tfa. Sunday in October,at eleven o'clock, if not providentiallyhindered.The Good Book suys "Judge not, that

Ray,
Five Forks Items.Our crops are turning out somewhat less
than we once thonght. The frost has cutsome of our cotton badly. One of ourneighbors thinks his crop is not more thanone-half open as yet, and the bolls are dead,but we hope he will be mistaken, to someextent at least.There have been several new, commodi¬
ous dwellings erected in our neighborhoodthis Fall. Messrs. T. M. Welborn andC. M. Duckworth have finished theirs.The Alliance is still growing, and our
farmers are determined to "stick."Messrs. Duckworth and Welborn have
ginned 176 bales of cotton and covered butone with jute. What neighborhood or Al¬liance can say more? We are not howlingas loud as some, but we are 'sticking."Dr. Duckworth will leave about the 29th
of this month for New York to take a post¬graduate course in medicine. Our countrywill be lost without him, not only pro¬fessionally but as a citizen. Dr. M. L.Sharps will be with us while our Doctor isabsent. He will come aH near filling hisplace as any one in our knowledge, as hehas many staunch friends in this section.Mr. D. P. Bowen has sold his place to
Prof. Holland and bought the old home¬stead of the late Dr. Mil ford. He willmove soon.Rev. A. A. Marshall preached to a large
congregation Sunday evening. His themewas "Final perseverance of the Saint3."His discourse was replete, showing the im-
Eossibility for a man to he lost after onceorn into the kingdom of God. He is giv¬
ing us a series of doctrinal sermons, andthose who miss them are missing a raretreat, as well as permanent food lor theirsouls.The Pendlutou, Hopewell and Lebanon
Churches have ngreed to call the same pas¬tor. We have invited Rev. Mr. Yarbo-rough to preach before the churches, and ifwe like him will give him a call. He willpreach at Hopewell next Saturday at 11o'clock, at Pendieton Sunday, and LebanonSunday night. We hope the membersgenerally will turn out and hear him.

A Visitor's; Impression of Anderson.
Mr. Frank McKinney, one of Ander¬son's pleasant and accom modating police¬men, kindly showed us around the cityone day last week.Standing in front of the Court House,
he pointed out the most prominent build¬ings of the city, and briefly narrated theirhistory. Our curiosity being excited, wedesired to learn more of these buildingsand, led by Mr. McKinney, we at onceproceeded to the Anderson Hotel, whichis, beyond doubt, tbe largest hotel wohave seen In the State. The rooms arecommodious and well ventilated, andwhen completed will have all the modernimprovements.everythitig necessary tothe comfort of the weary traveller. Themodern elevator, by which one can bequickly rasied from the first to the fourthuoor. or lowered from the fourth to thefirst floor, will evidently be of incalculableadvantage to this finely located and at¬tractive hotel. Tbe culinary department,where viands rare are to be prepared tostrengthen the "inner man," if well ar¬
ranged. The dining room Is commodious,and is well in keeping with the other por¬tions of the building. The largo halls onthe second, third and fourth floors willamply accommodate many visitors dur¬ing the Christmas festivities, Fourth-of-Jul}' dinners, and during other importantoccasions. On reaching the top of thishotel, which is a long distance from theground, our guide pointed' out to us thedifferent places of iuterest, even those
which could be seen northward in the fardistance among the rugged cliffs of theBlue Ridge Mountains, or those locatedin the Has rugged southern or- easternportions of this "Eden of America".An¬derson County. ., r.

Mr. Editoe: Your Brushy Creek cor¬

Eulled four hundred and forty-five fourand bundles for three days in succession,making a total of one thousand three hun¬dred and uhirty-five bundles. Now, re¬duce it to three hands to the bundle, orfive hundred and ninety-three bundlesper day for three days, and we have a

A Long Winter Predicted.
Portland, Oregon, October 16..N.K. Masten, formerly Cashier of the Nevada Dank of San Francisco and a resi¬dent of the coast for sixty years, predict*the longest and coldest winter the Pacificcoast has ever experienced. "All signsgo to prove that," he said. "I hav6 justcome from California, and it is alreadybegiouing to get cold. Low ranges ofmountains.in fact, parts of the foothillsthat have never been known to have snowon them even in the dead of winter.are already covered with a while mantleaud have been for Heveral weeks. Thereis one, to me, significant fact, aud that isthat the fall geete flight is almost over^uow, and not one year for the last fifty1has this flight begun until October 15."
Favors Capital Punishment,
Baltimore, (October 16..CardinalGibbons sees in the tahliness with whichjustice id ateled out to criminals a seri¬ous menace to good order and good gov¬ernment. He favors and is a believer inthe efficiency of capital punishment, andis of the opinion that there are too manyloopholes through which guilty personsmay escape punishment fur crime.

"A fcryinjj evil Is the wide interval thatso bffen interposes between a criminalconviction and the.execution of the sen-tence, and the frequent defeat of justiceby the delay. Human life i» indeed sa¬
cred; but the lälidable führt to guard ithas gone beyond bounds. Of late yearsthe difficulty to convict, in murder trialsespecially, has greatly iticreased fromthe widened application of the pleas inbar.notably that of iusanity. When a
conviction has been reached innumera¬ble delays generally stay the execution.The many grouads of exception allowedto the counsel, the appeals from onecourt to another, with final application tothe Governor, and the facility with whichsignatures for pardon are obtained bav3combined to throw around culprits an
extravagant protective system, and gonefar to rob jury trial of its substance andefficacy. A prompt execution of thelaw's sentence after a fair trial is thatvhich strikes terror into evil doers andsatisfies the public conscience. Thereverse of this among us has broughtreproach upnn the administration ofjustice, and given plausible grounds forthe application of lynch law."
Almost Hurled Alive.
Montreal, Oct. 15..Auguste Arch-ambault, a farmer of Coaticooke, a townnear Montreal, narrowly escaped beingburied alive yesterday. Arcbambault,who is well off, had been seriously ill forsome weeks with supposed typhoid fever.Friday night he began to sink rapidlyand early Saturday all signs of lifeceased, and the doctor pronounced himdead.The usual wake was held, and yester¬
day being fixed upon for burying thesupposed deceased, the remains were ta¬ken to the village church and afterwardto the graveyard. Tbe friendB of thefarmer were gathered around the grave,into which the coffin was being lowered,when all were startled by hearing a
groan from it. The coffin was at onceburst open, when it was found that Arch-arabault was alive. He was hurriedlycarried to his home, and though veryweak the two physicians who were calledhave hopes of completely restoring himto health.
