We have received several Communica? tions in regard to the proposed Fence Law, which we will publish next week. Attention is directed to the advertise? ment of the King's Mountain Military School, which is under the superintendence of Col. A. Coward, and the first session of which for the present year will begin on the 1st of February. It is-one of the best-institutions in the State. The Greenville Enterprise announces the death.of Mrs. Susannah Douthit, a resi -dent-of Anderson County, near the Greenville line, which occurred on the 16th ult., in the 94th year of her age. She was the widow of | Sev. James Douthit, for many years a minister of the M. ?. Church South. Mrs. Douthit was . the grandmother of Samuel J. Douthit, Esq. Probate Judge of Greenville County. The epizooty is fast disappearing about ? town; and horses are beginning to appear on Ibe'siSreets once more. The inconvenience from the want of drays and other vehicles has been considerable, and those who were out of wood had much difficu Ity to keep from freezing du? ring fhe recent cold snap. By the way, one of | our citizens has been cogitating this strange ' disease among the horses, looking at it in an orthographical point of view, and has come to the conclusion that the proper spelling of epi? zooty is ep-p'ee-zoo-tee. Horrible Hurder. A shocking fratricide took place in the Dark Corner on Christmas Eve, whereby Robert H Petitgrew was fatally stabbed by his brother, A. M. Pettigrew. From the testimony adduced at the inquest held by D. L. Hall, Esq., Trial Justice and acting Coroner, we learn that the brothers Pettigrew were intoxicated on the eve? ning of the 24th ultimo, and went to the house of James H. Wiles, where the deceased was boisterous and endeavored to fight Mr. Wiles. Several parties interfered, and Mr. A. M. Petti? grew then took his brother out of the house, go? ing in the direction of their horses, about one hundred yards off. Only a short time elapsed un? til A. M. Pettigrew returned to the yard, and was heard by those inside the house calling for his brother. He repeated the call three times, and was told'by^ne of the witnesses that Robert went out of the house with him. He replied that his brother did not go, but that he had killed the man who went with him. A search was instituted, and Robert was found in a bloody condition, stabbed under the left breast. The wounded man was carried to the house, and medical aid summoned to his relief. He lingered ?ntit'Th\irsday morning; when death ended his sufferings. The jury of inquest ren? dered a verdict in accords ace with the facts above, stated, and Mr. A. M. Pettigrew was ar? rested and lodged in jail at this place to await his trial. The Collection of Taxes. We are informed that the collection of taxes for this county will not begin until Monday, - 18th inst., of which due notice will be given by advertisement next week. The books will not be ready for the County Treasurer until that time, although the County Auditor is using all . diligence in forwarding his part of the work. Besides, the new Treasurer has not yet quali? fied, and his appointment is so recent that he has not been enabled to arrange his bond and other matters in time to enter sooner upon the duties of this responsible position. The law requires that the penalty for non? payment of taxes shall be affixed on and after the 15th of January, and we observe that it is ? proposed to add the penalty at that date the present year. Tie people have not had a chance to pay the taxes, and it is not their fault or negligence that the State Treasury is still empty. Hence, we do not believe that the authorities will compel an adherence to the strict letter of the . law, as ample time should be granted (when the books are opened) for the tax-payer to get his receipt, before he is liable to penalties. An authoritative expression from the proper source is wanted at this time, and we hope to receive this expression at an early day, that the tax-payers may know what to de? pend upon. In the meantime, we would advise every one to pay their taxes the very first op? portunity, and make an end of the buiiness . with the greatest possible speed. ? Ex-Qov. R. K. Scott has purchased a res? idence in 'Columbia, with a view to permanent citizenship in South Carolina. ? Joseph Lynch, the colored Secretary of | State of Mississippi, died at his residence in Jackson on the 17tb inst. He was a preacher of the colored Methodist Church, and was the most influential negro in Mississippi?perhaps the most fluent speaker of his race on the con? tinent. He had one year yet to serve in the office of Secretary of State. ? M. S. Miller, a colored member of the Legislature?upon whose affidavit Senator John J. Patterson was recently arrested for bribery has come out in a card concerning the state? ment that he made the aforesaid affidavit to compel Patterson to pay him $1,000. He makes no comment upon the bogus trial where? by Patterson was discharged, and declares hie purpose to be on band at Court, and to do his whole duty, regardless of consequeqees. ?* The Charleston Courier is offered for sale, The establishment, with a comparatively small expenditure in the future, can be run with its present material for seven or eight years. A good opportunity for investment is offered in one of the oldest papers in the South, the Cou? rier being now in the seventieth year of its publication. During this long period of its un? interrupted publication, it has always main? tained a fiue position among the papers of the South, both as a commercial and general news? paper. For the Anderson Intelligencert Mr. Editor: Our Christmasseems to cor? respond to the old Roman Saturnalia, if indeed it be not the very same, differing only as to the day and its title. The Sat?f tiaiia was celebra? ted in December. This festival, instituted A. I ?. 253, lasted at first only one day (19th); it was then extended to three, and in the time of the Emperors to seven. The utmost liberty prevailed at that time; all mirth and festivity; friends made presents to each other; schools were closed; the Senate did not sit; no war was proclaimed, no criminal executed; slaves were permitted to jest with their masters, and were even waited on at their table by them. This last; circumstance probably was founded on the original equality of master and slave,? the latter having been in early time of Rome usually a captive taken in war, or an insolvent debtor, and consequently originally the equal o^ his master. As the Golden Race of Greek tradition had been under Kronos, this festival offered another means of identifying him with Saturnus. He is said to have fled from before the arms of Ju piter, and to have concealed himself in Latium, where he civilized the rude inhabitants. Virgil sang:? "First from Olympus' height ethereal came Saturnus, flying from the arms of Jove, An exile, of his realms despoiled. The race Untaught and scattered on the lofty hills He drew together, and unto them gave Laws, and Latin race would have them called Because he in this country lay concealed (lat nissetl The Golden Race of which they tell was then, Ben oath this king,?he in such placid peace Ruled o'er the people's And the Saturnalia was regarded as commemo? rative of those happy days of primeval iuno cence and equality. Hence, as has been already said, our Christmas seems to be in spirit among ourselves, and always in England our father? land, the old Roman Saturnalia, differing from it only in its name and date, but the same in character. And it is very evident, aud ac? knowledged by all biblical scholars, that Christ was not born on the 25th of December,, but in the spring of the year, about the 20th of April. This fact, however, should not create in our selves any alarm, since, if wc observe the 25th of December, instead of some other day, as his birth-day, and with .the proper feelings and sentiments, it certainly can make no difference j with us. ' j Christmas Is always, to every christianized and civilized people, the occasion of rejoicing and liberality. However different the mode of the exhibition of this merriment, yet all find some peculiar manner of observing its annual return, and perhaps each imagines its own par? ticular method the wisest and best. The Eng? lish, for instance regards it solely in its reli? gious aspect, and therefore observe its annual return with the greatest seljgious ceremony?as a day in which the greatest sobriety of conduct should be observed. The doors of the Estab? lished Church are opened for religious worship in all respects as the Sabbath Day. This also \ is the practice with the Church of England in our own country, and, in large cities, frequent? ly with other denominations, but in small towns and villages, seldom. The English method certainly seems the most rational and proper way of observing the birth-day of the Saviour of mankind; and of all methods, that which is the most common?feasting and riot? ous drunkenness?seems the most uureasonable and improper; for, how can we celebrate the birth-day of a God properly, by doing that which he himself has positively forbidden? The annual return of this day should be hailed by all correct thinking persons with the liveli? est emotions of gratitude, and as one in which all animosities, private and petty hatreds should be laid aside. Although the above is the manner in which the advent of this day should be religiously ob? served, yet this fact does not debar us from any amusement and rejoicing that is regarded as innocent, nor indeed is such amusement wrong at any time. And the writer knows none more innocent, than that of gladdening the hearts of those around us by gifts of charity, or those of friendship and love. Those of the latter, al? though by far the more numerous, are not so commendable, because they appeal more to our selfishness, and perhaps of this kind there is less of selfishness when they are made to <&ur children. Hence, prompted by the noblest in? stincts of our nature?a feeling to see our off? spring happy?parental fondness will ransack the products of every clime, regardless often? times of expense, to supply every necessary to J that end. Therefore, almost from time iramo rial, it has been the practice of all nations to inculcate in the young with almost religious care, the apnual return of that ubiquitous and liberal parsonage St. Nicholas or Santa Claus. Various are the methods of distributing his much coveted and long expected gifts. At the private homes, he is expected by the children to descend at midnight hour each chimney and deposit with a profuse hand the long-wished for presents in the carefully prepared stocking; in the Churches, upon the carefully prepared trees, called Christmas Trees. The last method is becoming the favorite one. And apropos to the above remarks, our little village, in spite of the sleet and snow which ushered in the Christmas of 18t?2, was jostled from her usual equanimity and gravity by the elegant Christmas Tree given to the children of the Baptist Sunday School. Notwithstand? ing the inclemency of the weather, the Church at an early hour of the evening was filled with many an anxious face, not only on the part of children, but those of riper years?all awaiting the rich and handsome presents of friendship and of love. Without exaggeration, the tree, though small, was a gem of beauty?gotten up with all that elegant taste that the ingenuity of lovely woman can alone devise. ?Gn it was many a valuable and substantial gift, together with a profusion of beautiful apples, oranges and candy hums suspended from many a limb. Its illumination, owing to nn oversight of the Superintendant, was perhaps somewhat de? ficient; yet, however, all things considered, it was quite a handsome and beautiful tree. Among the many fine presents it contained, the writer observed a rich and elegant dhshion to Miss A. M. H., apparently of sufficient size to contain many thousands of that useful and indispensable article of a lady's attire. The beautiful recipient, Miss Jennie C, of that handsome pair of vases, cannot fail to appre? ciate the motives and intentions of the giver. And last but not least among these presents, althongh of a different kind, was the substan? tial gift of a pair of boots to Mr. S. D. D. At this time, when all nature is locked in icy fet? ters of sleet and snow, the recipient will cer* tainly appreciate properly the generosity of the donor, and wish him in his very heart the good fortune of living to see the advent of fifty more Christmas trees, that he may display other and similar charities. That beautiful song, "The Christmas Tree," which was sun,; by the school in truly an ani? mating style, introduced the festivities of the occasion. Then followed a very appropriate but short address by our young and estimable friend, Rev. E. C. Rice. N' rt was that beau? tiful air, "Kris Kringle," wi ich too was finely rendered. Then comes that iclightful part in the programme which every little urchin and modest little miss (big urchins and big misses included) was most anxiously awaiting?the distribution of the treasures of Santa Claus. And now the last present has been distributed, and all with bright faces and gladdened hearts sing "Good Night," and the benediction dis? misses the audience to their nocturnal couches, and the happy children to their warm and cosey resting places, to dream of visions of sugar plums, tops, tin wagons, horses and other tiny animals. Thus ended the 25th of Decem? ber, 1872, at Williamston. KRIS KRINGLE. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Card of Thanks. Anderson, Dec. 30, 1872. To the Congregation of the Anderson Church : Christian Friends?Let me thus publicly acknowledge your kindness in the vory valua blo, very timely, very acceptable Christmas Present of the evening of the 24th. With surprise and delight we looked over the substantial pile of sacks, barrels, kegs, cans, jars, jugs, boxes and packages, general and special, of flour, meal, hominy, sugar, coflbe, lard, rice, tea, butter, cheese, fish, fruit, vinegar, oil, candles and hams. We all thank you; and not less the little ones, for the very select and appropriate burden of St. Nicholas? nuts, candies, toys and sundries. In behalf of the little person who is as yet incapable of appreciating the gift or thanking the givers, permit us to thank you for the deli? cate package of sundries. Humbly trusting that I may be able, in some measure, to rcquito your kindness, and tint I may be faithful and true to the best well-being of those who have been so good and afluction ate to me, I remain your Pastor, D.

ELIAS WINSTON, Adm'r. Jan 2, 1873 -? 5 a new enterpeise. Seven years ago we adopted the plan of send? ing our "Farmer" Cooking ?Stoves through the country with wagons, by our traveling sales? men' in order to supply a want long felt in the South, and that each family might have an op? portunity of seeing if not purchasing one of these indispensable household articles. The abundant success of our enterprise throughout the States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennestieo and Georgia, and the universal favor with which our Stoves are received everywhere, convinces us that in order to supply the continued grow? ing demand, we must largely increase our for? ces at the Foundry ; hence we have increased our daily manufacture of this one pattern to thirty, aiid will still further increase it to fifty if our trade contin lies to demand it. Our sales? men, who will visit you, are authorized to give same terms as though you made the purchase direct from ourselves'at the Foundry. We have but one price, which is caston the Stove, and from that wo never deviate. This Stove has no complicated arrangements, such as dumpers and inside tiue plates, as in other Stoves, which confuse the mind, and the neglect of which interferes with the perfect working of the Stove, but is so simple that any one may use it successfully. Jt is made from the best qualities of new iron, only so mixed as to secure a tough, strong plate, which is very heavy, the cracking of which by fire never oc? cur*. Below we publish a few of the many re? commends we are receiving daily from some of the best citizens of the State: [From the Abbeville Medium, llrA] Abbeville, S. C, Dec. 10, 1872. Messrs. Culver Brothers: We cheerfully grant you permission to use our names as you see proper in commendation of your Farmer Cooking Stove, for we regard it as being alto? gether the best Cooking Stove in use. It is all that is desirable in a Stove, for it is simple in construction, has no dampers or Hues to burn out, and bakes quick and bcautifuUy. We be? speak for you a liberal patronage from our neighbors and friends, believing as we do that none who pureh.ise one of these Stoves will ever regret it, but will consider it a rare prize in these days when good cooks are so hard to Cfftt.
