' I hese bpnngs have not been well known to our people in late year8,Jthougu a gen eration or two ago they were very ipopular and annually thronged with seekers of health and pleasure from the neighboring counties, and especially from South Caro lina. A half century ago" the property belonged to. a company of wealthy plan ters, mostly from South ! Carol iua the Williamses, McQucens, Steeles, etc. who j resided liere several months each summer. I It is stated . that the beautiful but ill- starred uanghterof Aaron Burr, Theodo- f sia," wife of Gov. Alstoii- of. S, C. so-'I1 journed in this place a season. In its5 palmy days there were; five hotels and six stored on the grounds. jBut tile build- ings, one after another, were consumed by tire, and the deed by which the prop- erty was held was lost or burned. The dimnessof the title deterrell the Woprie- tors from rebuilding. Au interest in the property has of late fallen into tlie hands of D. N. Beunett, Esq., and Rev. C. C.

They say, that after drinking its' waters one can eat six hard-boiled kegs for sup per with impunity. I know that a fresh visitor can eat two and sleep soundly all night. Spring No. 2, is sulphur land iron. It is recommended for dropsical affections and kiduey diseases, j Constit utions impaired by dissipations are restored by its waters Wonder , if the constitution of the United States would not be bene fitted by a draught? Perhaps the "re turning boards' of some of "our 6ister States might be washed clean by ki pleu- ntui appaicanou. ic is aiso reepmmen- ded as an antidote to tlie whiskey thirst. Wouldn't it be well to have a office" of this spring opened up branch in our j towns jitMl villages, where .1Proh bition" is unpopular? -It might take the place of a soda fountain or ice-cream saloon. Spring No. 3-is called the Arsenic Spring," though there are evident traces of iron in .the sediment of this also. Tra- I dition ays that Indians, in ijdd tinies used this water ior cutaneous uiseases. ic nas recently cured cases of tetter, scald-head, and old sores generally. It is recOmmen- ded as good for neuralgia. j A second attraction of these Springs is the cool and bracing nights jenjoytd here, The country is very broken and hilly, and forests cover a large part ol the territory around. Rocky River sweeps arohnd this region, Tike a huge half-moOu, a mile and a half distant at the nearest point, and rushes rapidly aud tumultuous! y over rdeky slioals, audfaJJs here and there in cataracts,80 that the voice pf the waters is heard in the still evening air, as the guests lounge in the Cool; porticoes, or wander in the grounds.' lhis jbelt of country is designated by the btate (jreol- ogist as the region of "liuronic blates'' lying between the granites I of th0 Fied- mout section and the sandstones of the lower Fefe Dee. Unlike the, red soils and Lsluggish Streams of more tertile regions, this does not generate miashia, and chills are rare. Another pleasant circumstance is that visitors to these springs may cojne and return to their homes without change of climate, and do not need to "stay until frost," as they must do when going to the mountains. They are also removed from iue iavnre uauuw ui uissihuii luxurious vice, x nougn noc on uie une of railroad, ap easy drive of! twenty-eight miles from Concord, oreighteen or twenty from Polktou or Wadesbord, on the Car olina Central, will set one down at the Springs. The rates of boarjd also, are ex- tremely reasonable, and suited to the hardness of the tunes. hree dollars a week will procure accommodations for adults, and two for servants and larger children. .- We have not looked around sufficiently, nor been here loner enough to- venture a matured opinion, but first impressious, and ''the story as 'twas' told to us," gives the hopej of a pleasant- sojourn in this place, vj. -July 22d, 1879. i : R.

There was true ecouomy in the advice of the farmer who recommended that the lower joint grass be left iu the field for the old brindle cow rather than be cut aua cured for her. He was one of tlie nomerous army mowers who had learned iv,. nnthn,r m,;.,i-ikV -tnn ,.inBO VI' V XV M U UVKUillg MKUVV J V villi jhe testimony with respect to the respect to height from the ground at which it is best to cut grass is conflicting and tends to PnnfnSA nH nftnh'mpa miaionil a iu the hay-field. Cultivators vary! in practice from one-half inch, or as close as nnaaiiilv tn fnr inrlips Th -pni";il tendency is, however, to cut close, and many fiue n,eadows have been injuretl therefrom. f Cjose observation has taught that tim- othv cannot be cut low, iu dry weatiher especially, without inflicting injury. All atterunts at close shavinsr the sward should be avoided. Many of our most SUCcessful farmers cut timothy nearly or Qr quite four inches from the ground others in guaging mowing machines for this grass take care to run them high that it will not be cut below the second joint above the tuber. M Close mowing of upland meadows onght also to be avoided, as the action of the the hot sun and dry weather following harvest affects the roots of the grass !un- faVorbly when left without some protect- iorj. On the other hand low, wet mow- ing grounds will bear cutting close possible; these are benefited by the in fllMmces which would dry and burn up an npforid meadow. Again, where the pirac tiCPt is followed of toD-dressinjr the mead ow immediately after taking off the grass, the mowing may be done low and j a sraooti1 surface left to cut over the next I time. .Generally speaking, grasses cut two in ches wiu start much quicker and thrive better than wlieu shaved close to the ground t the nne grasses, as a rule, when the season is not a very dry one, can be cut lower with safety , than the coarser sorts. .2Y, 1'.

We are ajaib called upon to indite a paragraph upon the proper use . of kerosene oil- about the fowl-house premises. This is a valuable article iu its way, )Liit when judiciously han dled and applied sensibly to the clcdiiaing of nest-boxes, the roosts of of fowls, anil for removal of scurvv upon the legs of these birds. But kerosene is a powerfully pun gent substahcej and should always be i used with care. For wash- j ig the fowjl roosts occasionally noth ing! is so certain to keep the perches free fro ni 1 ice. j For the bottoms and sides of box-nests, ; used either for your layers; or sitters, there is no ar ticle so good or so sure to disperse vermin andj keep it away from those frequented by the hens. ; But keroSeiie should be applied be neath the nests, upon the wood-work ouly. It isjtod strong and penetrating as ' to be placed where it will come in coutact with the eggs that are be ing; set on or to touch the bodies ofl i the fowls. And where it is carelessly scattered so that the hen sits upon it: or her eggs may be touch- ! ed with this liquid it does more harni than jgood, often permeating the shells and destroying the embryo chicks, as we have known the instance tp becur. j ;! : We therefore suggest caution in the uke of this jarticle, as we have done btefore ou j repeated occasions. We ki)ow of no agent more beneficial j when rightjy used, than this is. But if it be not prope?ly applied to the purpose we! have mentioned it had far better be dispensed with altogether If eggs are smeared with it at any tune when first laij, or while being set on by the j hens their vitality is as surely destroyed as they would be if punctured or crushed in the shells.

Why, they don't swing their arms at all ! Their arms must be laced down upon their 6ides! No, they are hold ing their arms Btill, and see, they have tucked their hands into those large fur rollers which they carry on their stomachs. Their arms look, for all the world, like the wings of a Christ mas turkey, all tied down and ready to be put in the oven. It must be hard work to walk in that way! It is very hard indeed, and you see they have to walk very slowly, arid wiggle their hips. What a funny motion that wiggle is. I should think fastidious people might call it vulgar and immodest, j Oh, well, that depends upon the fashion, That wiggle-waggle is all the go now. j i I should think it would lame them across the back. j it Hops r there is not a lady in twenty who- is not lame across tlie mall of the back.
