Nice Vegetables, We are under obligations to Mrs. D. A. Williams for a lot of beets, onions and squash, to Airs. W. II. Brooke for Irish potatoes and beets, and to Mrs. J. W.

How to Light a Match. It is often found difficult to light matches in the open air, principally be cause people turn the lighted end of the match after it is struck from the current ■of air, and it is blown away from the shaft of the match, and cannot catch, Turn the head of the match to the cur rent, after striking, the blaze will be ear ried up tbe shaft and take fire, and a light be secured.

Self, Professor of the ait of Chirography, closed a second term of his writing school at this place on yes¬ terday evening, and we have no hesitan¬ cy in saying that he has done himself credit, and benefitted every pupil under his Charge. Prof. Self understands the art of penmansnip in all its intricacies, and teaches it thoroughly. We know of one gentleman here sixty years old, who coul(1 8carcel y write a hand that an ex pert could decipher, and who now writes a good liand - Some of our young ladies and gentlemen, who wrote a miserable scroll before taking lessons, now write beautiful hands, i lie art of writing is alm08t a burlesque, and he who improves it is a public benefactor. We recoin mend Hof. Self and his system to other communities > and knowingly say there Be ^ ler pretense or humbug about him. one wi io has any desire to write a good hand will ever find a better oppor¬ to leara then to put themselves under the professor’s care.

Messrs. Jack Mitchell and Capt. R. “.

There will lie a good average crop cut this sea son, and much of it is ripening and will soon lie ready. The oat crop is general ly good ; in fact, we consider it above the average, and have seen some speci mens that were exceedingly fine. The corn crop is good, and growing rapidly, anil we are informed that an increased acreage has been planted this year, Potato slips are being rapidly set out; in some instances farmers have nearly their whole crop out. Farmers general ly have good stands of cotton, and “chopping” is now the order of the day. The crop prospects are general!}, good, and we think ail crops are at least a month ahead of last year at this season, VISIT TO SHARON.
