sons, is again returning. But ere you have
long indulged in this train of thought, the North
Easterly winds and rain, dispelling the fond il
lusion, bid you again behold the wj Id freaks of
rough winter's stormy reign. This country is
said to be more subject to drought; in summer
than Western Carolina, but for reasons which
we shall notice, when we come to speak of the
soil, the drought is not so injurious to the crops.
The general appearance of tho country is by
no means prepossessing. 1 hough it may be
called a level country, because hills and moun
tains are not seen, yet the' monotony of a per
fect level is frequently relieved bygenile undu
lations and small hollows through vhich winds

or large. Rocks, to use a vulgar saying are
" scarce as hen's teeth." And wjien found in

Meteoric Iron in South Carolina. The
last number of Silliman'a Journal contains
an account of a mass of meteoric iron'
which has been discovered in Soulfi Caro
lina. It was found several years since by
a laborer on the plantation of Mr. S. M.
McKeown, situated in the Chesterfield
district. On being accidentally" shown to t
a blacksmith a few weeks ago, he, proved
it to be malleable, for out of it he made a
pair of hinges, a few nails, and a horso r
shoe. The original weight of the mass is
said to have been thirty-six pounds.: Jts ?
original shape was oblong, with one side '
and end thicker ancLrounder than j their j .
opposites, and its surface was much in- :
dented and coated by rust. ' I i
On being analyzed this iron was. (band
to contain nickel, traces of chromium, co ,
bait, and nodular masses of magnetic U
pyrites. Its most remarkable peculiarity, i
according to Professor Silfiman, consists
in the appearance of its polished strffaco !
when treated with dilute nitric acid, which '
is then covered with a great variety of
beautiful figures. It is very dense, and
takes a brilliant polish; but its etched
surface immediately distinguishes it flora

On page 108, Vol. 1. Mr Colman gives an
account of several noblemen whose annual in
come varied from l100,000 to 150,000, that
is from $500,000; to $750,000. Speaking of
Lord Yarborough he says, that his Lordship
"has an indefinite number of Hunters, &c,
dec," and adds- , It was the custom at this
place tor his Lordlhip, and his guests were al
ways invited to accompany him, at nine o'clock
precicely, in the evening to visit the stables,
where the hunting ahd riding horses were kept
which reached by la Covered passage way from
the house. The stables presented all the neat
ness of a house parlor, and the grooms were
more than a dozen in number, all drawn up in
a line to receive the company." Lord Yarbo
rough has more than 60,000 acres in his plant
ation he has 606 tenants, and you can ride
thirty miles, in a direct line, upon his estate.
" Many of the tenants of Lord Yarborough pay
1000 and 1400 "guineas a year, and several of
them live like noblemen, keeping their dogs,
horses, carriages, land servants in livery."
