THE mTELLIGEKCER. IiOCAfc MATTERS. BRIEF KBHTIOH, Bank^deposlts increased rapidly for sev? eral hours on Friday after the news of the j robberies reached town. "An ill wind that blows no one good." The ban!: officers can stand the pressure, we presume. The mail-route from Belton to Walhalla is growingTn importance. More than one hundred pounds of mail matter pass over it every day. Opt. Sullivan makes a very ac? commodating and efficient agon t. McJJuffle street is in a miserable condi? tion about the principal crossings near the square. A few loads of sand should be hauled there at once- asjtis almost Imposjl Irie for pedestrians to cross at them. J A meeting Of Anderson Grange, So. 71, , will be held in this place on Friday, 17th inst, for the purpose of electing officers, and making arrangements to remote tho place -of meeting to some point in the country. ? Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Tempe? rance, have tendered the use of Temperance Hall to the Pomona County Grange ror the quarterly meeting) during the coming year. It is an action which will doubtless be ac - cepted and appreciated by the Grangers. Merchants and business men are remind? ed that Christmas is coming, and it is a favo? rable time to send in their advertisements for tho festival season. It Is no use to have the goods unless you advertise, and the In? telligenter has the largest circulation of any -country newspaper in the State. Several droves of hogs have arrived in Anderson during the past [week and have 'uniformly sold at 9 cents gross. There has mot been as many sold in Anders on this sea? son as formerly on account of the high price, 'on t as the opinion seem.) to be general that meat cannot be bought cheaper moat persons nave purchased at least a portion of what athey need. ' We regret to learn that Rev. E. R. Cars wall, Jr., has accepted a call to the Green iwood Baptist Church, and will therefore leave our County soon. Mr. Carswell is a young minister of fine abilities, and has done a good work in the churches with which he has been connected. He has also made many warm friends in this community who will regret to see him leave. An agreement has been made between the merchants of Anderson to dose their places of business on Saturday and Monday, 25th and. 27th of December Instant, In order to allow recreation to their employees. Our friends from the country, accustomed to j transact business at this place, v/fll make a I note of this agreement, and no; aspect the I stores to open on the days designated. We are indebted to Rev. lamnel Lander, the accomplished President of the William- j ston Female College, for a handsorejB cata- j logue of this institution fbr the current year, I which gives full information concerning its I management, and tarnishes indubitable evi- I dence of growth and prosperity. ,7e are al? ways pleased to note the success of educa- I rional interests in the State, and especially I In Anderson County. We have received from Mr. Ji A. Brock, agent of the North American Fire Insurance j Company, a set of advertising cards, with I finely executed views of tho principal build-1 ings fur the Centennial Jxposition. Each j card contains on the hack a summary of j reasons for insuring in the "North Ameri- j can," and Mr. Brock is prepared to supple ment these reasons with other cogent facta I to induce insurance in hfc agency. The Town Council engaged in the tidal of I offenders by wholesale on Saturday last, j Eighteen cases were presented for their con-1 slderation, and in meet of them they com- I promised with the parties on condition that j they should inOate the town treasury in the I sum of two dollars each, or that they shot)d [ : accept the hospitalities of tho town es dis-1 pensed at the calaboose for the torn of two days and that they should work upon the I streets. . ? - v <v- J! ?' Commercial tourists?drummers, in com- I mon parlance?ere becoming so plentiful in 1 tins section of the country that the local I merchants are devising ways and means for I their entertainment. One of our firms has I engaged a retired marsh ant expressly to re- [ ceive the drummers, and listen to their Tbl- I uble praise of samples. This gives the ac- j tdve men of the concern time and opportu- I nity- to wait upon customers?whenever j thoy are about. The streets of Anderson are again in dark? ness. The lampposts stand, but are of little I bonefit to the town, as no oil is furnished for them. The lamps and posts were paid j for by private subscription on the condition that the Council was to furnish oil to keep I them lighted. The citizens have fulfilled j their part of the contract, and the Council I Bhould either comply with its agreement or { refund the money to those who paid for the lamps. It is but just that it should do one I or the other. Mr. H. B. Fant, agent of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, informs as that the cotton shipments from this depot for the month of November aggregated twenty-five hundred and fifty bales, against twenty-six hundred and thirty-two bales for tha same month last year, showing & falling off in re- ] ceipti of eighty-two bales for this period. Tho total shipments from 1st September up to date amount to-5,789 bales, against 5,0ft bales for the same period last year, an in? crease of 112 bales. The Temperance Fair, which Is to be given for the benefit of Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Temperance, on Friday and Saturday evenings, the 24th and 25th of this month, Is now an assured success, and our citizens I may anticipate pleasant evenings if they will ?ttend. The object of the entertainment is a benevolent one and every one should en? deavor to be present. The price for admis? sion will be very low, and the prices of arti? cles for sale will be equally reasonabla.~~*It will he a good place to spend Christmas money. The Berger Family were compelled to omit Anderson from their tour this winter. Expenses are so heavy with this combina? tion that they were reluctantly made to forego the Intended visit, as the town does not afford a hall sufficiently large to Justify them in coming, and the audience necessary to defray expenses could not be accommo? dated. But for the want of hall room, thore need be no apprehensions as to the sise of the crowd, for tho Bergers are univorsal fa? vorites among the Anderson felks. Some enterprising individual ought to build a larger hall to meet the demands of such occasions. The Ordinance to prevent cattle running at large upon the public square has not been re-enacted as yet. This is a matter which the Town Council should give their atten? tion. It is but reasonable that the munici? pal authorities should try to protect the trading public from being depredated upon by stock stealing the food of their work ani? mals or molesting the produce^ which they bring to market. We aro sure the Council will take measures to nrevent this state of things, if they will reflect upon the annoy? ance the cows give to the persons who try to feed stock upon the square. Both fanners and merchants desire the law to be re-enact-, ed, and we trust it will be promptly done. DAimro BOBEXSIES. On last Thursday night and Friday morn? ing two daring robberies were committed in this County aggregating the sum of twenty four hundred dollars. The first was at Wil liford's store on Thursday night Early In the night somo party or parties knocked at the store door and Mr. Henry Williford, who was alone, asked who knocked. The burglar replied, "It is mi." Supposing it was some of the plantation hands opened the door, whersupom the thief shot at him with a pistol, the sell of which entered the left side of Mr. Willlford'a coat, near to his heart, and pasted through it without touch? ing his body. He was next knocked down with a heavy cudgel and his face and head badly bruised by the blows. They then held him down and robbed him of about fourteen hundred and sixty-five dollars, after which they departed. There Is no dew as to who committed this daring outrage. The next rosbory was committed on Fri I day morning upon the Shallow Ford road, some six and a half miles from town, where ?Mr. Charles Hampton, an agent of the Greensboro Nurseries, was robbed of about nine hundred'' and thirty dollars by two men who were concealed teland a largo tree and caught the rein of his brittle as his horse passed and presenM pistols at him and de? manded his money. The white man, who ' was about six fcet high with light moustache and whiskers, left the mulatto to watch the horse and took Mr. Hampton into the woods, where he got Ms money and then threatened to kill sum, but finally agreed to let him go prof Ided he would not tell any person of the robbery until he reached An? dersen. Several parties were formed and went in search of the perpetratora of this deed, but could neither see nor hear of them. No discovery has, as jet, been made, though it is to be hoped that for the peace and good order of our County the guilty parsons in both these robberies ifcay be found out and brought to justice. KASOariO GBAHB LODGE. The annual coinmunicaifcon of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Freemasons in South Car? olina will be holden in the dty -of Charles? ton, begining on Tuesday next Mth inat. We are authorized to state all Masons and their Families will be retimed free over the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, upon presentation of a certificate that they have paid full Dire in going to Charleston, which certificate will lie famished by the Grand Secretary.

CLARA WILDLLLN. The New Tork Comedy Company, one of the finest troupes now tteveling in the South, will give entertainments in the Ma? sonic Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. The leading actress, Clara Wildman, delighted the Antefson people with, her strung renditions of nature last winter, an? ire are glad to learn of her re? appearance this week. The other members of the company age sail to be excellent in their pari?, and there wfll likely be full houses each evening. PUBLIC lAXJIfl.

The State of Michigan is due the honor of | making the greatest advance in tha matter of marriage contracts yet recorded. The old fashioned injunction to "obey" and of | ?' What God hath joined together let no man put asunder" has been supplanted in a re? cent instance by: "If the union and harmo? ny that now exists between us should con? tinue through our natural lives, then this contract is to remain in force; otherwise to be null and void." This is probably to pro? vide against the expenses of a divorce suit. MARKETS. AsnsBsoir, Dec. 8, 1875.

C, November 1,18761 HAVING been engaged for twenty years in the Guano Trade with eminent success, I deemed it advisable to introduce Fertilizers under my own name and guarantee. I have made arrangements to have prepared a Guano under my inspection and control, called ROBSON's COTTON AND CORN FER? TILIZER. This Guano is of the highest standard. It contains, among other valuable ingredients, three percent, of Ammonia, one and a half per cent, of Potash, and fourteen per cent, of Available Phosphate. I also nave prepared for me a COMPOUND ACID PHOSPHATE of the highest stan? dard. These Fertilizers are compounded of the purest materials, and are manipulated and tested under the supervision Dr. St. J. Ravenel, of this city whose name gives a warrant for their high character and adapta? tion for our soil. I offer these Fertilizers to Planters on the following favorable terms: Robson's Cotton and Com Fertilizer, Cash $44 per ten: on time, $50. Robson's Compound Acid Phosphate, Cash, $28 per ton; on time, $33. Planters ordering immediately will bo al? lowed to the first of April to decide which they prefer, cash or ti aie. An order for a car load of eight tons will be sent free of drayage; but for a less amount $1 per ton will be charged. On orders for large lots from Grangers or dealeis, a liberal discount will be allowed. I take this occasion to return my thanks to those who have so largely patronized the Fertilizers hitherto offered by me, and in so? liciting their favorable attention to another, I pledge my best efforts to meet a continu? ance of confidence by keeping the highest standard of Fertilizers adapted to cotton and corn.
