The Growing Wheat Crop.
Accounts from all the surrounding enuuties
represent tbo wheat crop as being at this time
unusually promising. While this is generally
true, a few persons have expressed somo
doubts as to the yield—assuring us that while
it* general appearanco is good, the heads are
rather too short for a full crop.

•‘No Bill.”
In tho caso of tbn State vs. Prico, in
dicted for tho killing of Luther Thrasher, n
year or two ago, the grand jury of Oconee
county returned •• No Bill” last week.
We are pleased to make this announcement,
becauso public opinion had acquitted young
Price of all malice in the unfortunate affair,
which was really accidental and not intention
al—we mean tbe result. Tbe blew was given
in the excitement of the moment, without
reflection or premeditation, and no one more
deeply regretted the result than young Prico
himself. Wo are therefore pleased to state
that no bill was found, and that public opinion
fully sustains tbe action of the jury.

Death of Johu H. Patrfck.
Many of our readers remember John H. Pat
rick, ton of tbe late Col. Patrick, of Franklin
rouuty. It will be also remembered that he
went to Texas soma years ago. It appears that
on tbo first day of this month a scuffls ensued
between four men as to tbe possession of a
carbine, which was secured by tbe strongest
man, and, us he backed out of tbe door, some
one on the outside shot John H. Patrick wiiu
a shot-gun. No clue as to the party who did
the shooting. Patrick was buried at Hoots
ville, with masonic honors. He leaves a wife
and fo'-.r children.
Oconee Court.
We visited the new county ef Oconee for the
first time on Tuesday last, although we bad
been at the county seat (Waikinsville) a great
many times before.
We found bis honor Judge Rica and Mr. So
licitor General Speer busily engaged on the
criminal docket, and the officers of Court
seemed to be perfectly at home in tbo dis
charge of their duties. We spent but a short
time in the court bouse, during which his hon
or was charging the jury in reference to an
unpleasantness" which had occurred some
time ago between two colored citizens and tbe
jailor of the county. We did not wait to hear
tho verdict of the jury. We learned that an
other colored man. of the name of Hancock
would be "interviewed" in regard to some
unparliamentary conduct with a colored sister.
We stopped with Mr. G- M. Langford, who
now keeping the hotel so long kept by tbe
late Capt Richardson, and before bis day by
the eccentric G. W. Moore. Mr. Langford
gave bis guests a splendid dinner. It is de
cidedly a good place to stop.
Right glad were we to see court at Watklns-
ville again. It looked perfectly nataral and
proper. It is true, many of the ancient land
marks have been removed by death and oth
erwise, bat there Is life in the old town yet.
It has had an eventful history, which ought
to bo written, some pages of which wa hope
to give in these columns before a great while
W There is now living in Madison county

An Eujoyable Affair.
" e learn that Mr. M. Williamson, a gay
bachelor of Jackson county, whom " tbe boys'
affectionately call " Uncle Mike," Invited his
neighbors and friends to a birth-day dinner on
Tuesday last, when some four or live hundred
of partook of bis generous hospitality
The meats—of which there was a profuse abun
dance and great variety—were elegantly bar
becued ; the pastry, costards, syllabub, can
bes, nuts. Sea., were abundant, and tbe com
pany enjoyed themselves splendidly. While
their elders discussed politics, tbs “ craps"
and kindred topics, the young people joined in
the merry dance, and all |oined in tbe hope
that " Uncle Mike” might live to celebrate bis
hundredth birth-day.

SHEEP HUSBANDRY.
The fabulous productiveness of England
and Scotland, where from forty to sixty busb-
olsof wheat per acre is by no means unusual,
is not tbe result ot accident, but attributable
chiefly to sheep husbandry. No other plan
has yet been discovered by which lands can
be soeasiiy and cheaply fertilized. White this
is going on, however, the sheep-grower is be
coming rich also from the wool and mutton
produced. There is a doable advantage in
sheep husbandry, therefore, as tbe land and
its ownar are both daily enriched thereby.
It baa been settled long ago, by competent
authority, that there is no portion of tbe habit
able globe better adapted to sheep-raising
than Middle, North and Northeastern Geor
gia and tbe upper districts of tbe two Carol!-
nas. If this business can be made highly
profitable in England, where tbe farmer an
Dually pays more rent per acre than it ooats
here to buy land, why may it not bo made re
munerative Id Georgia t The first great ob
stacle in tbe way is tbe immense number of
worthless dogs—a multitude which no mau
can number—tbe great majority of them being
not only worthless, bat an absolute curse to
tbe country. Go where you will, in city, town,
village or eountry, and “ spaniels, bounds and
cars of low degree" are encountered at every
step. Every family, white and colored, keeps
from c ne to twenty dogs—some of them useful
animals, no doubt, but the great mass of them
worthless, if not absolutely mischievous.
Reader, did you ever think of the vast
amount of food consumed by these dogs f Did
you ever enter into a calculation of tbe num
ber of bogs which might be raised on tbe food
thus wasted t Try it, and you will be astound
ed at the result.
Weil, what is the remedy t Allow every
family in tbe State one dog and tax alt over
that number say five dollars per head. This
will at once lead to the slaughter of all worth'
less dogs. When they are thus disposed of,
our enterprising farmers will go to raising
sheep. Unnumbered thousands of acres of
land now lying idle and comparatively worth
less for other purposes, would bo brought iuto
profitable use. In addition to the large
amount of money annually brought into the
State from the sale of wool, we should have an
abundant supply of fine mutton, which would
stop a large outgoing drain of our resources,
Tbo food wasted on the dogs would go very
far towards securing a home supply of pork
and bacon. The lands now so poor would
soon become the most productive grain and
grass-growing lands in tbe Southern States,
securing a homo supply of the cereals. Tbe
outgoing drain being thus arrested, our people
would soon become tbe wealthiest agricultural
community in the world.
After making necessary preparation for the
business, sheop raising costs but little. They
do not require, in this climate, to be fed more
than four months in the year. With peas,
beans, oats and turnips they can not only win
ter, but fatten sheep, which, after tbe spring
shearing, are ready for the batcher—at a time,
too, when there is a demand for fat mutton.
Penned in enclosures every night in tbe
year, which can be frequently changed, their
droppings will soon fertilize many acres of
land, and we, ton. can grow from forty to six
ty bushels of wheat per acre.
Tbe wool and tbe mutton, tbe increased
number of bogs and tbe additional production
of our lands will supply our people with tbe
meat, bread and fertilizers which are now im
ported from other States. Tho money brought
in by tbe cotton crop will remain among us.
and can be invested in manufacturing, thus
stopping another leakage, aud. in the end,
making ns the most prosperous people on
earth.
Is the picture overdrawn t Not by any
means. But deduct 50 per cent. “ for frict ion,'
and it will still pay wonderfully. All this, and
more, too. may be realized within a few years.
Bur, remember, as a condition precedent, it is
necessary to get rid of the worthless surplus dogs.
In v|«w of this faot, is there a sensible man in
the State who will oppose taxing dogs f Tbe
question reduces itself to the simple proposi
tion : Shall we encourage sbeep-busbandry or
dog culture f

Bab 1 they are cowards, all of them, and
sham patriots and reformers if they think and

One Way to Waste Money.
The New York Times has a seasible article
on tbe absurd style of advertising practiced
so commonly, such as the use of “ circulars,'
etc , which, so far from drawjng custom, abso
lutely repels it by prejudicing tbe persons up
on whom these annoying missives are inflicted
They are thrust into one’s bands in tbe street
or into his letter box, or the servants are kept
continaally running to the.door to receive tbe
delusive envelopes, which have the appear
ance of enclosing invitations to dinner, or snob
like pleasant entertainments, but which on
being opened prove to contain an advertise
ment of some nostrum or ware. Tbe disgust
ed recipient naturally resolves that tbe ob
trusive vendor shall never get a penny of his
mousy. Tbe Times remarks:
“ For when probable purchasers, decent re
spectable folk with money, wish for anything
and do not know exactly where to go for it,
tbey look ioto the advertising columns of some
respectable newspaper, and there, uader its
proper head, they find what they want—that
is, if tbe dealer bas been wise ouoagb to ad
vertise in a discreet and profitable way, in
stead of wasting bis substance upon a sort of
announcement wbiob, at best, is useless, and
wbicb, with tbe better class of buyers, might
east suspicion upon him. Newspapers have
become tbe accredited and well established
medium of all kinds of announcements to the
public. From a proclamation of tbe head of
the government to tbe announcement of
house maid that she wants a plaea, com muni
cation with tbe public is naturally and proper
ly conducted tbrouga newspapers. It coaul
not well be otherwise, considering tbe place
wbicb the daily newspaper holds in modem
civilisation. Advertisements in newspapers
bave, therefore, a propriety, a sort of leglti
macy, and a weight wbicb pertain to adver
tisements in no other form. A discreetly word
ed advertisement* in a respectable paper
in Itself a sort of promise of discretloe and
respectability on tbe part of tbe advertiser.
Irregular and fanciful advertisements; on tbe
contrary, are likely to do something at least
oast suspicion, in tbnsevery particulars, upon
tbe person wbo makes use of them."
. .Tbe golden syrups, sugar drips, etc., are
delusions and snares. A professor of oils nis-
try has examined a dozen varieties of syrups
•old at tbe groceries, and says that all of them
are “ doctored," made by tbe sulphuric acid
process,” as follows: " A warm (131 degrees
Fab.) mixture of surah and water of about
tbe consistency of cream, slowlv poured into
a boiling solution of one per oent. sulphuric
acid (oil of vitriol,) tho wb ile boiled for some
time; then tbe acid is neutralized by chalk,
and tbe mixture set aside. When the sed
intent bas settled in tbe bottom the liquid
dipped off and boiled down to a syrup. This
syrup may bo boiled down to a sugar, form
ing what is known as grape suga" or glucose.’’
Instead of stareb, however, old rags can be
and are nsed very largely—rags collected from
be streets or wherever tbey can be found.
