THE INFIDEL AXD HIS DAtJUHTEB.
The damp of death Is coming fast,
My fhthor, o'er my brow ;
The pest with ell its scenes bee fled,
Ao'l I roust turn me now
To that dim future, which in sain
My feeble eyes decry—
Tell tuc, my (ether, in this hour,
In whose stern faith to die.
In thine ? I've watched thy acornful smile,
And heard thy moulting tone,
Where'er the Christian's humble hope
Was placed ebove thioe own ;
I’ve lieerd thee speak of coming death
Without a shade of gloom,
And laugh et all the childUh fears
That cluster round the tomb.
Or is it my mother’s faith ?
How fondly do I irate,
Through roi»v a weary year lung past,
That calm end saintly face!
How often do 1 call to mind.
Now she is 'ueath the sod,
Tbe place, the hour in which she drew
My early thoughts to God!
'Twas thou she took this sacred book,
And frutn its burning page,
Resd bow iu truths support the soul
In youth and failing age;
And bade me iu its precepts live,
And by il» precepts die,
That I might share a home of love
In worlds among the sky.
My father, shall 1 look above
Amid this gathering g’oom,
To Him whose promises of love
Extend beyond the tomb ?
Or, curse the Being who hath blessed
This checkered path of mine,
And promises eternal lest!
A ud die, my sire, lu thine ?
The frowns upon that warrior brow
Passed like a cloud sway,
.And tears coursed down the rugged cheek,
That flowed Ut«t till that day.
" Nut, not iu mine," with choking voice.
The skeptic made reply :
" But in thy mother's holy faith,
My daughter may’st though die."

At one time since its iirst ap
pearance, this dreaded disease was
generally thought lu have d.sap
peared tVu.il oar euunty. But
this was a sad mistake. It has
again made its horrid appearance
in two diheront sect.ons of the
co:n:tv. Ii in now in tiic Autiocn
nciihhorh-vod, and we learn is
spreading and likely to spread
thousand dollars. This, wc learn,
will also l>e litigated.
Fakming.
This interest is now very much
behind, and our farmers put on
long faces and look very despoud-
ing. The utmost continuous rains
since Christmas, have been a great
draw-back to them. They all say
they have never experienced so
much and such continuous rain as
has fallen in the Inst three mouths.
No one has been able to do any
thing with bottom lands. Those
who have ditched them, have had
their ditches tilled lip and are ns
bad ofi as those who have done
nothing.
Our farmers are also complain
ing at tbe extortionary prices they
have to pay for their supplies.
Some of them, perfectly good,
are now having to pay IS cents
per pound for their meat on time,
when the cash would buy tiic same
meat at 12 cents per pound. The
merchants thus charging 50 per
cent, interest for nine months’
time, or sixty-six and two-thirds
cents per annum. This, they can
not stand, and arc beginning to
see it. Many of them have real
ized this fact, and have refused to
pay their last year's accounts, and
taken the money and bought for
cash. This is now the great em
barrassment of the merchants.
These farmers then give as a rea
son for their course, that this ac
tion on the part of the merchants
doing a credit business, is not le
gitimate and right. That the
merchant who thus sells to them
is only taking advantage of them,
by force, to take from them and
their families what ought to be
the just reward of their labor, and
as it is a game of force, they will
let the merchant force the money
if he can. They say the merchant
thus charges them because he can,
and on the same principle, they
refuse to pay him because they
can; that it is a poor rule that
don’t work both ways.
Personal.
Wo are much pleased to learn
that our young friend Joseph

illness we noticed in our last, is

Away up in the mountains, among

of any stray calf, pig or other

the enormous print of a grizzly’s

the horses suddenly'started, snort

dent of Augusta, Ga., and one of
j Georgia’s most honored sons, as
well as one of her prolbundest
lawyers, was in Lexington a lew
days ago on a 1 nisi ness trip. To J
see him on the streets, carries one
back in memory to those halcyon
days of yore, when all was peace
ly, his cruel teeth and red mouth
unpleasantly conspicuous. Each
man and every horse tor the in
stant, seemed petrified—as if,
while every nerve and every mus
cle aud wary sense was at its ut
most tension, they had suddenly
looked upon the Medusa. In a
second’s time, Pacheco spurred
forward, swinging bis iasso. The
bear commenced sparring warily,
and few professional boxers can
fend off as these creatures will.
But Pacheco’s lasso shot out like
an arrow, and clasped about the
huge fore-foot, when the horse
(who saw every movement, and
\ was just as wide awake as Pacheco)
sprang the other way, and the
lasso being fast to the pommel,
the bear was instantly thrown to
the ground, when the two other
men, quick as lightning, hud
thrown their lassos, and caught
the hind-feet; then another rider
caught the louse fore-foot, and
the four horses took tlu ir posi
tions like cavalry animals trained
by some noiseless signal, and
slowly marched down the moun

Superior Court.
Fears are now being entertained
by our people, that our Court
which is to come off next Monday,
will be adjourned as a precaution
ary measure in view of the preva
lence of the Small-pox.
Notwithstanding the small mini
her of cases brought to this term
of tlin Court, it will be a term for
the transaction of a large amount
of business. The criminal docket
will be quite heavy. The now fa
mous Eberhart cases, that is the
criminal cases, will stand for trial
at this term and are likely to re
quire a considerable leugth of
time in their trial. Both sides
wc learn, arc anxious to try these
cases as soon as possible.
Besides these, there a:e several
others that will take some time to
try
perior Court to answer the charge. ]
But Col. Thurmond is a living, j
moving denial of the language of
Shakspenrc, when the latter says,
"fat paunches usually have lean
pates,” for Col. ’] hurmoud’s huge
physical proportions, are only
equalled by his magnitude ofmi’ d
and genially of soul, and all who
meet him have only to regret hav
ing to separate from him.
Wheat and Oat Crops
Are looking remarkably fine at
this time, and should no misfor
tune befall them from now on,
we may promise ourselves an
abundant harvest, as more of each
of these crops have been planted
this year, we think, than any year
since the war.
The most notewoi thy cases
brought to the present term of
the Court are the cases of Mrs.
Stribling, widow of Dr. C. C.
Stribling, lately deceased, against
the Eberharts, in damages, for
the killing of her husband. The
damaiMfifci the case are laid at
fifty tfflBRuid dollars. This case,
ot course, will be stubbornly liti
gated.
The other most important civil
cas,j is that of S. H. Cox ugainst
Thomas Atnis, also a case iu dam
ages, for alleged back-water from
Amis’ mill-pond on the land of
Cox. The damages laid at five

A colored preacher remarked,
“When God inadede fust man He set
him up agin de fence to dry.” “Who
made de fence?” interrupted an eager
listener. “Put dat man out!” ex
claimed the colored preacher; “such
questions as dat’d destroy all the the

Brown, the disappointed, says that
it requires about as long to get a girl
wed out ol her twentieth year as for a
grassy descent, the rear horses
keeping just tnutline enough to
prevent the bear from getting any
use ot his terrible hind claws.
Nalil has painted sonic of these
California lassoing scenes, that
have been as near justice to such
exciting tableaux ns could be done
by the paiuter’s art, but nothing
could portray the intensity of ex
citement nnd action brought forth
at such a moment. Pacheco was,
at that time, twenty-one years
old, and the handsomest man we
every looked upon.

When lie first realized the sud
den presence of the terrible cn
emy, and stood erect in his stir
mps, his face gleaming with the
glory of youth, fearlessness and
excitement—bis great black eyes
sparkling, his white teeth tightly
pressed upon his nether lips, per
fectly still for a second, he was
the most glorious object in nature
In no longer time than tiie sight
of this could be taken in, lie
sprang forward, liis long dark hair
tossed wildly for a moment, nud
then he had captured the hear, ns
related.
The captors slowly took their
prisouer dowu to the house, where
a long, heavy piece of timber lay
upon the grass. Fastening the
bear's hind feet to the timber with
the strong lasso, nud the fore-feet
to a strong, deep-driven stake,
they stepped away to a respectful
distance, their eyes upon the fe
rocious creature aud their hands
upon their saddle-pommels. We
walked up close to the bear to
take a careful look at him. All
cried out, * Cuiado !’—take care.
* Why, he’s all secure,’ we said
You don’t thiuk he could get
loose ?’
’Perhaps not, but you’d better
keep away.’
And we did.
The hear lay with his head be
tween his huge paws, covering
his eyes, save occasionally when
he would furtively lift his eyes
like a sulky child, to look at his
captors; then covering his eyes
again, remain a mouieut and steal
another look. Soon he gare heavy
sighs, and some one said,' he is
