He gave a history of the cases tried, the enormous amount of labor and the time that was consum ed in the trials and legal exceptions and objections. He had no objection to assigning the cases but he stated that he would not try them. In other words another Judge would have to sit.

H A Boom in Agricnltare as 'Well as in Maanfactares. i Now York Herald. From. the Department of Agriculture at Columbia we have Just been furnish ed with official statistics or the chief fibrous product (cotton) and of two of tne chief cereal products (wheat and oats) of the State of South Carolina in the year 1882. A comparison of them with ths statistics of the year 1879, as given in the Federal Census of 1880, warrants an inference that the changes and developments of Southern agricul ture are rivaling in rapidity those of oouuern jnanaisctnres:; f . ' Yean. - Cotton. -'Wheat: Oats. Bales. Bushels. Bushels. 1870 52248 96258 2.715.605 1882 630,758 2,973,600 8404JS0O These figures do not indicate a shift ing or tne culture irom one kind of crop to another. Tbe yield of wheat has more than tripled within three years, ana toe yield of pats shows an increase almost in the same marvellous propor tion: out at tne same time tne cotton crop, far from falling off, has also in creased more than one-fourth. We do not possess official . statist tea te prove K"fzV ha no diminution in any of the other important agricultural firoducts of the State, but we are in ormed and believe that such is the fact, and that there is a wonderful in crease throughout the whole line of them. In fruits, for example, we hear of an instance where a South Carolina farmer sowed one hundred acres with watermelons in 1881 and three hundred acres with them in 1882. and marketed his second crop with ss much ease as his first one in the great Northwestern cities, chiefly in Chicago. If South Carolina can show such sta tistics as we have Quoted there are other Southern States which should show figures still more astonishing. The current of new life transfused into the arteries of the South must be run ning more rapidly in some other Quar ters. But to estimate the vigor with which it flows now even in South Caro lina some more figures, taken from tbe old times, may aptly be cited, aod'ac cordingly we copy from the census re ports of 1850. i860 and 1870 tbe statistics of the cotton, wheat and oat crop ot tbe next preceding years: Years. Cotton. Wheat. Oats Bales. Bushels. Bushels 1849 300.901 1W6 277 2122.155 1859 353.412 1,285.631 9:KL074 1869 221.500 783.610 613 593 These show that in 1869 the State bad not recovered from the collapne of the civil war. But a comparison of the figures of that year, together with those of 1849 shd 1S69 with thos of 1879 snd 1882, is a proof not ouly of tbe present completeness of tbe recovery, but of the accelerating speed of prosperity in the new era over the old rates of pro gress. Daa Rice as a Temperance Lectarcr. Dan Rice, tbe veteran showman de livered an Hddress at a temperance meeting in New York Sunday, lie told his hearers the story or his conversion at St. Louis by Moody and Sin key. iney urged mm to takes new depart ure and join the band he said. The ad vice at first suggested to him tbe idea of a good speculation, and he thought the combination of Moody. Sankey and Dan Rice would be iuviucible. He nev er regretted his step, however, and since he bad given up whisker he had be come a new man physically and ment ally. "Talk about your drunken men nere. lie said ; yon never aw me. 1 ou have heard, perhaps, about people seeing mnkt-s. 1 have seeu anacondas, grizzly bearf, rhinoceroses and hippo potamuses. Why.

Do wa .. The officers of the First Presbyterian church of this city having recently de cided upon making some improvements to the church building, among which was the painting of the roof and steeple. decided that in view of the opinion ex presses lately by many that the steeple of the church was not safe. It prould be a good idea before having It painted, to employ an architect to examine into its' condition and report to tbem,iand if it would be pronounced unsafe the? would have it taken down and' bnllf aaew. Accordingly jir. joeian Atomy r and Mr. K. 1L Miller, . Sr, ascsddad the steeple Fndsy evening; and maue it pre; limlaary examination, and rate, the salt of their inspection' to a1 meeting of the church deacons thai afternoon. iaatlon would be desirable. The officers thereupon j directed Mr. Asbury to se lect three skilled mechanics to go with him and make a thorough Inspection, The lour experts made their "tmnfr Won yesterdsy morning and, In the afternoon the offlcers met to bear their report. Tbe inspectors reported that in their opinion the spire could be re paired and made perfectly safe for a number of years, and that they did not consider it at present really unsafe, ex cept in a storm of . considerable vio lence. They found some of the timbers In an unsound condition, but these re placed by new timbers would make the steeple firm and safe. 1 be officers did not for once consider the proposition for repairing the steeple which might hsve been done according to the report of the four architects, but very wisely concluded to act on the safe Bide and ordered that the spire be taken down without delay. The work of tearing off the shingles win com menee Monday morning, we under stand. This beautiful old spire, a regu lar cloud-cleaver. 180 feet high, is an object that is dear to the ' hearts of all our people. For years the stranger hss gszed upon it in admiration.our citizens regarded it with a never failing pride, and there is not a man. woman or child in the city who' will not feel a touch of regret at its downfall. The old spire is to be replaced by one of the same de sign and finish. In consequence of the action of the officers yesterdsy, all services in the First church will be postponed one week, and the doors will not be open to-day.
