Can any other fanner come to the front with half such an area ready for the scythe? As the schooner B. H. Poster was on her way south, a few weeks ago, she encountered, between the Gulf Stream and the coast, near Hatteras, a shoal of porpoises at least five miles in extent. Mrs. John L. Steven succeeds Mrs. Annie Arnold in the post office. As Mrs. Arnold wished to retire, the se lection is regarded, by all, a very wise one. Polite and attentive, she dis patches the mail with tho ease of a proficient. There was on Wednesday quite a strong gale from the south-west, at- teinleil with heavy rain. Duriug the blow, the Georgia B. McFarland got adrift and collided with the Fabuns, bill as Captains Keen and Strong were “the right men in the right place," through their skillful management, little damage was the consequence. Au interesting case of burning woods, lands and marshes without giving due and legal notice to those adjoining, was np for commitment a lew davs since before the Justice of the Fence of this district, in which two of our most prominent farmers represented “the party of the first part" and “the party of the second part." That competition is the life of trade has a practical illustration at this time in trade at this place. Mr. Ditchburn, iu charge of the store of the Georgia Laud and Lumber Co., says that his trade was never better. Although Messrs. W. F. Symons & Co., at Col, Collins’ mill, are doing a heavy and profitable business, there iB no fnlling oil' in bin receipts.

At a recent dining there were upon the table of tho kind hostess nice white cabbage and lettuce, onions, Ir ish potatoes, English peas, beets, snap beans, mustard salad, asparagus, linked pig, roast veal, mutton aud duck, eggs, fresh milk and butter, spring chickons and clear golden Georgia syrup, olives, olive oil, pre served figs, marmalade, etc., all na tive products of St. Simons. This ta ble whs also bedecked with flowurs both wild aud cultivated in rich pm- 1 fusion, among which were, at least, fifteen varieties of roses. Wo sincere ly liopo our friend may renew his pleasant visit another season and may bo able to investigate more fully than was possible on a flying trip our vn- titlcs him to be the champion oat grower of South-East Georgia, has about one hundred and fifty acres oi, oats, all fully headed, averaging from two and one-half to'four feet high.— This large area is the result of succes sive sowings in the months of Octo ber, November, December and Janua ry last. He caused the crops of the first three months to be grazed upon by fifty head of cattle and as many hogs,thereby keeping them sufficiently back to prevent their early maturing. By this plan be had thirty bead of hogs fattened for tho slaughter pen without feeding a grain of corn, and every cow fat enough for beef any day duriug the winter. His crops prom ises tin average of thirty bushels to the acre, at a cost'' of less than five dollars per acre, everything included from the purchase of the seed to the housiDg of the grain. Col. S. feels, however, that the benefit to the stock balances all expenses, and the oat crop is the profit. A ST. 8IM0N8 PIG. While passing along the margin of the plantation a few days since with a friend, we discovered a broken fence and several shoats luxuriating in the stolen pleasures of a feast inside our ioclosure. We drove them out, and seeing a negro woman in her cabin just outside the fence, we called to her and asked if those were her hogs. “No, sab,” she replied, "dein be stran ger bogs. My sboat down dar,” pointiug down the road, “my shoats come when I call ’em” and uttering a a peculiar cry, she brought tho whole pack grunting aud squealing around her. Turning to one large ugly griz zly fellow, she exclaimed, “piggy, piggy, whar you been? Go drive dem strange hogs way.” Wifli bristles on end and showing his ugly tusks dart ed after “dem strange hugs "and sent them squealing down the road, re turning afterward to receive the ca resses of his mistress, like a well- trained dog. My friond remarked that “it was very well to keepongood terms with the old woman, and safe to have the fence between us, or she might set tho shout on us." V rather novel caso of want of iden tity, of tho Charley Ross type, is puz zling the oraitis of the colored society of St. Simons at this time. A worthy old imin, Cyrus McCormick, a regular iiiplovo at St. Simons Mum. and h*». wife, Aunt Mary, have 1m 1 horn tint, ttiein. during ami since si •.•.cry, four leen children, none of win u are liv ing unless i: be. a daughter about thirty-five, named Phillis. During tb vicissitudes of the Confederate war this couple and daughter became sep arated—last heard from Phillis was in Houston county on one of the planta tions of the lute Joseph Bond. Im mediately after the suspension of hos tilities, Cyrus, having in his posses sion about two hundred dollars, set about to hunt her. Not finding her in Houston, he visited every place she might be in till his mom y gave out, enmo home, made more money. and has been from that day to this hunt ing his lost child. Ho churns to have spent at least six hundred dollars of hard earned money pursuing this phantom. In fad, although a hard working man, a constant employe of St. Simons Mills, at good daily wages, ho and Aunt Mary scarcely allow themselves tho actual necessities of ife, so ardent has been their search for the Inst seventeen years for Phil lis. Some three years ago they found a Phillis Cobb in Dougherty county, a’ woman of about forty years ot age, black and nncomely. They were quick to believe that this was their Phillis. both white and black are with the old couple, every one is at a loss to dispel the illusion that this wench they fond ly claim is not their Phillis.
