Hayne, of South Caroline, during tinwar of the American revolution, was related bv the Kev. M. Uackwith, in a dicoume -On the evils of War." 'Among the distinguished men who f. 11 victims in the war of the American revolution was Col. Isaac Havne, of South Carolina; a man who. Iv hisamiabilty of character and high sentiments of honor and uprightness has secured the good will and affection of all who knew him. He haj a wife and six children, the eldest a boy of thirteen years of age. His wife, to whom he was tenderly attached fell a victim of disease: an event hastened probably by thft inconveniences and sufferings incident to a state of war, in which the whole army largely participated. Col. llane himself was taken prisoner by the English forces, and in a short time was executed on the callows un.lar c.rcumstai.u-es calculated toeticitethe deepost commissi ration. A great number of persons, both English and Americans interceded for hi- life: the ladies of Charleston signed a petition ir. his behalf, his motherless childien were on their bended knees humble euitors for tleir beloved futher, but ill in vain. During the imprisonment of the fither his tlda.t son was permitted to stay with him in the prison. Beholding his surviviug parent, for whom he fell the deepest affection, loaded with irons am! con kre.ncd to die, he wf.s ov eivhelin--d with cerstemation and sorrow. The wretched father endeavored to console him, by reminding him that the unavailing grief of his son tended only to increase bis own misery that he came into this world to prepare for a better; that he himself wks prepared to die, and could even rejoice that his troubles were so near ended. 'To nioi row," sv.i 1 he, 'I set out ior immortality; you will aeeon:-:i!iv :ne to the place of mv execution, and when I dead, take my body and bury it by the si le lrt' 'our poor mother.' The youth fell upon his father's neck, crying. Oh, in;, father, mv fither. I die with you!' Col. Hayne, as he was 1m l. d with irons, could nonreturn the embrace of hi., son. and merely said, in reply. 'Live mv son, live to honor God by a good life, live to ta'.ie care of yoiirbre'hcr and little sisters. 'The iiext-JT-orti'irg, proceeds the orator of these distressing cTents, Col. Hay ne was conducted to the place of execution. 11 is aon accompanied him. Soon a they came in sht of the gallows the father strengthened himself and said, 'Tom my son, show yourself a man! that tree is the boundary of my life r.nd all my life's sorrow. Ifevoml that the vv cKod cease troin troubling, and . the weary arc ;:t rest. Don't lay too much at heart our separation; it will be short, 'Twas but lately your mother died to-day I die. And vou my son, though but young mol shortly follow.' Yes, my father," replied the broken hear ted youth, I shall shortly follow you, for I feel that I connot li- " long.' And this melancholy anticipation was fulfilled in a manner more dieadful than is imjiled in the meie execution of life. ( r seeing his father in the hands of the execut:one:t e.nd then strauling in the halter, h stood like rrc transfixed and motionless with horror. Till then proceeds the narration, he had wept incessantly but as he saw that the fountain of the tears was Ftaunched, and he never wept more. called on his father in terms fjiat brought tears from the hardest heart,' From the Yank-e Farmer. When is the best timo to plough? Inn late number of your paper you cepied an article from the Maine Farmer" with the above interrogation; and which, as therein staled, is a question of no small importance. But the writer makes one admission, which in a genera! rule should not be adopted, viz, that "farxcts should embrace the opportunity when their leisure time will allow." It is true, the proper time for plont'li nig depends in some measure on the condition of your land. The questions will arise is your! land in sward or tillage! Is the soil sillieious or argillaceous? If your land is in sward and you intend it for corn, potatoes or any autumnal ripening crops, the best timo to plough it is in the t-f.ring, a few days before you put in your seed. Draw out your fresh unlermented manure, sprea 1 it on the sward and immediately plough it under-. ty this- process you save all your manure and much labor: lor by this time the grass begins to snow itseu ana on a goon sou indicates a vigorous vegetation, which turned under at tkis season ol the year the vegetable matter covered with the soil in it, green and succulent state, combined wun me-manure raailily undergoes fermentation ana tonus most fe.rtilli.ung substance for the crop. As a general rule (and, one to which 1 know of no exceptions) plough no sward lands in the fall. If your land is in tillage and the soil is silicious, by no means plough in the fall, but always in the spring just before you are ready to put in your seed. Hut if your soil is argi'.iaceous and in tillage, plough in the spring, sumncr. fall or winter, 'when your leisure timo will allow.' crdy be sure to plough ia the fa!!, that the frosts

" . - ot winter may pulveuze it plough, it aain in the spring, that the influence of the sun and atmosphere may warm and invigorate it for the succeeding crops. Mattuktes, Plymouth Co., Jan. 31, IS3-S. C. Earthquake at Croatia. The following is an extract of a letter dated Agram, October fifteenth; We have lately witnessed an extraordinary phononoiion. Since the first of October loud rum

On the morning of the -seventh two reports were card, and the notion of the earth then ceased Itce'her.

Fxiraordinarq Feat. An advertisement ip. ired in the Liverpool Journals, announcing the intention ol a amuel 1 acliett to perlorni one ol the mo-t daring li-ats on Monday, which a n ck'ess adventurer evei attempted, l'achett declared his ot ltention to leap from a height of l'Jd feet into Viitoria dock. On the first leap he engaged to change '.lis dress while under water, on the second to turn a summeisct in the act of desent. and to fire oil" a pistol. Iv many the advertisement was regarded as a hoax. In spite ol their surmises, and notwithstanding the inclement state of the weather, at the appointed hour (twelve o'clock ) the wharfs of the Victoria dock were lined with upwards of twelve thousand people. Atone time fears weie entertained that the ships, overfudod bv the heavy top mass of the people suspended I in the rigging, w ould capsize. A lew mtwines after 'twelve the a.Uvtituier ap eared. He ascended 'the main-shrouds of the D.dhousie castle, and, I after having leached the maststmek (at a distance I of at le ;st l-"( feet from the w ater, he dared to I 1-ap, sii'-creded in clearing the sides of the vessel, plunged into the dork dressed as a man. 1:1 a few minutes arose to the stiitai-e attired as a woman. A lew minutes after two he again appeared to risk the chance of a second leap. On this occasion he engaged to fire off a pistol, and to throw a summerset while descending. IA severe gale and heavy shower appeared to thwart bis puiposp. After a careful adjustment I of his balance, the man sprung from the truck; his descent was at first horizontal. At this moment the crowd were breathless. It was feared that if he did not recover his perpendicular inclination, he woul 1 be severely laeerated in striking the water. In that moment suspense was at an end. He tired oil' the pistol; and aware of hidanger. contrived to break the force of his fail bv projecting his elbows. He grazed the water with his shoulder-blade, neither his hea l nor feet being lir.mc.-sed. rowed i.sb This feat, Patehett i.So slightly was be exhausted, that he ore the boat vl we believe, i i l was awauinir bun tut precedent. a native of London. . iv ry, ...... ir. - ol Standard. lad -an Mounds. The St. I.ouis Commercial 15 ul'ieti n,of the -O'.h November contains an nrtiele upon these mysterious r.io-mments- of a people that have paste l away. leaving no other record of their having once existed. A regular chain of loose mounds extend from the Lakes along the u h 'e extent of this vast continent from north to south. Hut a few- va.s since there was a beautiful speeiaien of these anti ;ue burial place, in Cincinnati, covered with heavy timber, the grow th of ages. Hut the ham! of industry and avatiee have levelled with the dust this noble, monument . i a mighty people, w hose history is unknown even in tradition. The w riter in the I'ulletin advances tile theory that these mounds were erected as fortifications in a series of emigrations southward bv triSes dwelling on the shores of the Lakes and the northiAtlantic o.-imii, w honi he contends founii 'd tlie Peruvi in empire. In defence of ti.i.theory he cites the following: The (aets of the case were de- el iped bv Dr. J. C. Warren of Boston, in a recent paper communicated t-i the Kritish .SVientifir Assoeiatien at Livi rpo-d. Manv v cars ago a cr.iutum c.uue bv aci i.lcnt into the possession of Dr. Wairen. which stru-'k him as extraordinary, and which upon careful examination, he found to correspond with the carina of n i one of all the known races, or of the in. livulual nations constituting luose races, tin inquiry, he ha'-ned that the skull with other hones had been found in the depths of an almost inaccessible cavern on the hanks of the ( hio, some fifty lei t above the stream, by a party of hunters who had there sought a refuae. This c:ive isituated proba'ay near Gallia;. ohs, in the state ol Ohio, anil from tho nature of the calcareous rock v h;ch prevented decomposition by the absorption of all moisture, and the inuccessihiiitv of the spot, centuries might have elapsed since the bones were nepo-iied there. Subse piently a number oft-kulls froai the ancient ti.ounds of Ohio were received were compared with this, and were found to correspond tv n outline. Now, the proKidiil.ty was, that all these were the remains of the North American Indians, so called. Not at all: thev diifered from the structure cf the Indian crania Into cojilt". utterly just as much as skulls could dill'er. One thing, then, was certain; the build ers of the mounds and our aborigines were by no means of the same ra.-e. Some time after the circumstances mat we nave reiat'.M. vr. arren tells that he one morning f nnd upon his t-ihl three heads, the individual who had left them having gone. On examination he at once pro nounced them skulls of the inoHud Indians, and the la-n-'ntef. Spurzheini, who was then lec turing in lioston, declared them skulls of the same race. A few days after, a gentleman called who had furnished the remains, and informed him that these skulls were those of the ancient Inca race of Peruvians, taken from an island near the city of S:jnVr, renowned as thc spot where df;?igvi Copa.r made his advent from the sun to enlighten the Peruvian race!

Dear Sir, My family have for a length of time been using Phelps' Cooking Stove, with which they were well pleased; indeed I believed myself that its utility could not be surpassed, if equaled, but of late we have hail an opportunity to test the qualities of another, "the Combination stove," railed Town's Patent improved by M. French, and have found that it is lar superior to the one first mentioned. In answer to my inquiries, my U'liuly say, that they, can cook faster, better and with less fuel and trouble, than they could with the other stove, I can only account for the dillcrence in this way, that the improved stove is so constructed, that you can control the temperature at pleasure without changing the furniture on the stove, therefore the articles cooked are not dam. aged by too great a heat, nor is the heat wasted by benio- misapplied. 1 make this statement that the world nay be benentteu uy it, as well as ttie venders of the improved stove.
