THE INTELLIGENGER. LOCAL MATTERS, DEATH OF MBS. HAU CT BUREI38. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Nancy Burriss, which occurred at the resi? dence of her husband, Rev. Jacob Burrias, some three miles north of this place, on Saturday morning last at two o'clock, after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Burriss was born in this County in 1803, and in 1820 be? came a member of the Baptist Church at Mountain Greek, and remained a consistent and useful member of this faith up to the time of her death. She was married in 1821, and has thus lived in married life with her husband for fifty-four years. For many yean past she has been connected with the Salem Baptist Church, of which her hus? band has been an influential and zealous member. The funeral exercises were con? ducted at the residence of Rev. Jacob Bur? riss on last Sabbath morning at 12 o'clock, by Rev. J. R. Earle, and her remains were deposited in the family burying-gronnd, to rest with her kindred who have gone before ler. Mrs. Burriss was an excellent lady, and leaves behind her memories which will long be cherished by a huge circle of rela? tives and friends. JOHN WITiTilB AID JUIXDB' LETTERS. We were in error in stating that Mr. John Miller, who died recently near Pendleton, was the son of the original John Miller, who was a printer in the office of Woodfall when. the. celebrated letters of Junius were published. Ho was a grandson, and his ?atrier's namo was also John Miller. All of them were printers, too. The elder Miller was charged with complicity in publishing seditious pamphlets against the English gov? ernment, and sought a refuge in the United States, locating about the beginning of the present century at Pendleton, where he be? gan the publication of Miller't Weekly Met? tenger, which was afterwards changed to the Pendleton Mctstngtr. He was thought to possess information in regard to the author? ship of Junins' Letters, but this was never authenticated by him, and, if he knew the secret, the identity of Junins was safer/ de? posited in bis faithful breast. We were in? formed not long ago thai a portion of the press, upon which the elder Miller first printed the Mettenger, is now in the hands of a citixen of Pendleton. It ought to be forwarded to the Centennial Exposition, for it is said that it is the Identical press upon which the letters of Junins were printed, which Mr. Miller brought over from Eng? land. . ? COLLECTION OP TAXES. We are indebted to B. D. Dean. Esq., Treasurer of AndersonCounty,"for a state? ment in regard to the collection of taxes up to tins data: Total amount levied....$77,934 06. Total co?ected........ 56,160 17 Leaving nncoUocted_v_t_$21,773 89 Of the amount collected, there has been paid to the State Treasurer the sum of $29, 150.00 and claims against the County to the amount of $8^80.88. The number of per? sons who have paid taxes is 4,704?leaving about one thousand tax-payers to make up the balsji^uDcollected. The collection of tares this year bos been unusually prompt and regular, as the Treasurer's office has not been over crowded, except upon public days. In regaidto the extension of time for the collectluti of l^t/Qtftnmb*i&T*+^tx, wef learn from a circular issued by the Comp? troller General. that .the twenty. per cent penalty w*B attach sixty-one days from the date of the County Treasurer's "public an? nouncement of his readiness to collect," and that no further extension will be granted. In Anderson County, the announcement was mode by the County Treasurer that his books would be open for the collection bf taxes on the 12th of January, and conse? quently the penalty, of twenty per cent, will attach on the 13th of March. This settles the question in' regard to the payment of taxes without the penalty, and the circular of the Comptroller General is positive and unequivocal that no further extension will be made._ THE CIRCUIT COURT. The trial of criminal business occupied the time, of the Court up to 12 o'clock on Saturday last The following is the result of the business in the Court of General Ses? sions: The State vs. Pleasant Jones, indicted for assault and battery upon an officer. Mr. E. B. Murray represented the prosecution and Messrs. Featherston A Brown the defence. The defendant was convicted and sentenced to $25.00 fine or sixty days imprisonment. The State vs. W. 8. Gentry, et al., charged with grand larceny. The grand jury found a true bill as to petit larceny, and the defen? dants were convicted. The solicitor .repre? sented the v Stat* fM ^Messrs, Mnrrray * Murray "and' Feattferaton <!fc Brown the de? fendants:- Upon motion of the defendants' counsel, the judgment of the Court was arrettett on the ground that Trial Justices have exclusive jurisdiction of petit larceny. The case-' was referred to J. E. Breazeole, Trial. Justice. . The State vs. Neil Price, indicted for grand larceny. The Solicitor represented the Stata and. Messrs. McGowan A Moon the prisoner, who was found guilty and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. The State vs. Marshall Davenport, indicted for burglary, in breaking into the shoe shop of E. T. Grambrell and stealing two pain of shoes. The Solicitor represented the State and E. B. Murray, Esq., was appointed to deferr. the prisoner, who was convicted of petit larceny. The defendant's counsel moved an arrest of judgment upon the same ground as in the case of Gentry, and the motion was granted. The case was referred to W. S. Brown, Trial Justice. The State vs. jasper N. Brown, et. al., in? dicted for riot, appeal from Trial Justice. The, Solicitor represented the State and Messrs. Featherston A Brown the defend? ants. Verdict, not guilty. The State vs. M. Heldmann, indicted for an assault and battery. The Solicitor repre? sented the State and Messrs. Featherston A Brown and McGowan A Moore the defend? ant. Verdict, not guilty. The State vs. Toney Jennings, Marshall Spann, Alexander Williams, Alexander Carr and Peter Williams, indicted for break? ing into Mrs. Georgia Brown's house and stealing about eighty dollar*. The Solicitor represented the State, Messrs. Harrison A Whitefield the two first prisoners and E. B. Murray was appointed to defend the othera. Verdict of guilty as to Tone}' Jennings and Marshall Spann and Alexander Williams. New trial granted to Toney Jennings, and Marshall Spann and Alexander Williams were sentenced to three years in the peniten? tiary. The State vs. John Smith, indicted for assault and battery. The Solicitor repre? sented the State and Messn. Feather? on A Brown the defendant. Verdict, guilty. A sealed sentence was left for the defendant as he was not present on sentence day. The Court of General Sessions was then adjourned. On Monday last the Court of Common Pleas began and is still in session. There is very little business, and it is thought the Court will adjourn to-day. Judge Cooke and Solicitor BIythe have been prompt and assiduous in the discharge of their ? ?es, and have given very general satisfaction during the present term of Court. Our readers will no doubt be glad to learn that it is more than probable no term of the Court will be held in May. This will be a great accommodation to the farming com? munity, and will no doubt best subserve the interests of the whole county. BEDS? JKJCJBT10B. The peach trees were blooming on the 14th of February. E. P. Earle, Esq., was elected Superinten? dent of the Baptist Sunday School on last Sabbath. Valentine's Day was duly observed in this locality, and all kinds of missives were dis? tributed through the post office. Messrs. W. W. Humphreys, G. F. Tolly and M. Lesser are in Charleston this week, in attendance upon the annual convocation of the Grand Chapter of South Carolina. The streets aro in a lovely condition again, and those fond of scientific inquiry can have a rare opportunity of investigating the imperviousnesa of shoe leather against the wear and tear of mad. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Sarah Smith, which occurred recently at her residence near Pendleton. She was the widow of Mr. John G. Smith, who died in the late war, and leaves an only surviving daughter. It has been suggested that if young men will marry on the 29th of February they will be able to save many presents expected on wedding anniversaries. It is almost too late, however, to take advantage of the sug? gestion this year. Rev. W. W. Mood requests us to an? nounce that the first Quarterly Conference of Anderson Station will be held in the Methodist Church on Saturday morning next at Hi o'clock. Services will be con? ducted by Rev. 0. A. Darby. ' There has been a change of schedule on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad by which the down train arrives at all the sta? tions half hour earlier and the up train ten minutes later. The down train reaches An? derson at five minutes before eight and the up train at ten minutes before five. The Carolina Collegiate Institute now has one hundred students, and applications for a number to be entered in the next month or,two have been received. The institution is in a very prosperous and flourishing con? dition, and is giving great satisfaction to its patrons and friends. Prefenor Ligon and Ids assistants deserve the cordial support and patronage of the public I The play of "Caste" was well rendered by j the Melo-Dramatic Corps in the Masonic Hall on Tuesday evening. It was well at? tended, and the audience enjoyed the acting as well as the excellent music in a very high 'degree. The performance was a decided suc? cess, and well sustains the reputation which our amateur company has previously made ; for itself. The play was repeated on Wed ' hesday night. We are under obligations to Mr. G. S. Chappell, proprietor of the dinner-house at 1 Prosperity, on*the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, for an invitation to take "free lunch" with him whenever we.are passing down the railroad. The train arrives at 2.33 and leaves at 2.53, allowing twenty minutes for dinner. Passengers going to Columbia will find this a convenient time and place to satisfy the inner man. . ? The present is said to be the warmest whi? ter we have had since 1828. Nearly all the ^m eat spoiled during the winter of that year, bntlt"lm~rr~<MB*~thrge-co^ Com was only thirty cents per bushel that 76*17' and no wheat made and no fruit raised. The "oldest inhabitants" say this winter, in every particular, is very much like that of 1828, and they predict late frosts, as was the case at that time, that will destroy the wheat and fruit crops. We are informed that the statement was erroneous which appeared in our issue or the 27th ult. in regard to Toney Jennings being tried some years ago for placing ob? structions upon the Blue Ridge Railroad. He was not the individual charged with the offence, and until the robbery of Mrs. Brown's residence was nev<? convicted for theft of any kind. We make the correction I most cheerfully, as we have no desire to prejudice the community against him or to do injustice to the humblest in the land. Burglars have recently been operating about Pendleton. One night last week the smoke-house of Mr. J. F. Green was robbed, and on Thursday night last there was an at? tempt to rob the store of Messrs. Smith, Sloan & Poe. Mr. Poe was sleeping in the store and beard the robbers knock at the front door, and when he did not answer, they commenced trying a bunch of keys, upon which Mr. Poe dressed and went out at the back door to drive them off. As soon as he came to the front they ran, and suc? ceeded in making their escape. In a book called ''Courtship, Love, and Matrimony," published in 1660, there is this clause concerning the privileges of women in leap year: "Albeit it is nowe become a part of the common la we, in regard to social relations of life, that as often as every bis? sextile year doth return, the lady es have the sole priviledge during the time it continueth of making love unto the men, which they dee, either by words or lookes, aa to them it seemeth prefer; and, moreover, no man will be entitled to the benefit of clergy who dothe in any wise treat her proposal with slight or contumely." BRIEFLETS OF STATE NEWS. The number of visitors at Aiken this sea? son far exceeds that of any previous year. New berry, Lexington and Sumter are fall? ing into line under the Democratic banner. Mrs. John H. Blassingame, of Spartan burg, has a lemon tree with over thirty small lemons and blooms. Chester is preparing to organize Demo? cratic Clubs in every precinct and township, embracing those only who profess the Dem? ocratic faith in politics. The Democracy of Oconee County are or? ganizing in accordance with the recommen? dations of the State Executive Committee. The township meetings are to be held on Saturday, 11th of March. The Executive Committee of Furmau University has thought it expedient to waive for the present the effort to raise an endow? ment. This action is taken in view of the exceeding stringency in money matters. I The Sdgefield Advertiser chronicles the death of W. W. Adams, Esq., a prominent and highly esteemed citizen of that town. He was a lawyer, and a man of finished edu? cation and vast reeding?a consistent Chris? tian and an honored Mason. The voters of York County met on last 'Saturday, 12th inst., at each election pre? cinct for the purpose of perfecting political organization by the election of such officers and the appointment of such working com? mittees as each locality may require. Lanrens County is organizing into Demo? cratic Clubs, and will demand that every voter in her bounds come up promptly, zealously and persistently to the full meas? ure of the obligation devolving upon all honest, patriotis and intelligent citizens. The Camden Journal has been informed that the Supreme Court has decided that the homestead law cannot prevail against a mortgage of either real or personal property. Such a decision would operate to. grant the privilege of waiving the homestead, we pre? sume. , The Walhalla Courier states that Mr. J. A. Cooper was arrested on the 3rd inst. and lodged in the jail of Oconee County. He broke open registered letters more than two years ago at England Point, Cherokee Coun? ty, N. C, and has been skulking the officers of the law ever since that time in North Car? olina, Tennessee and South Carolina. A difficulty occurred at Barn well C. H. on Monday night, 7th inst., in which Thomas Hogg was killed, and William Hogg seriously wounded in the jugular vein. The trouble arose out of an old quarrel be? tween the brothers Hogg and a man named Harden. Several parties were engaged in the row, but it is not yet known who did the shooting. The Edgefield Democracy met on the first Monday in this month, and arranged for a thorough organization. Gen. M. W. Gary, John C. Sheppard, Esq., and Gen. M. C. Butler addressed the meeting at considerable length, and all in a strain of pure and un? alloyed Democracy?straight-out and unen tangled. The Advertiser says Edgefield is at I present opposed to any manner of coalition, save only the voluntary coming over of the negroes to our platform. The Laurensville Herald pointedly ex? presses its sentiments as follows: Let those who have expressed?and those who feel without expressing?a preference for Cham? berlain for a second term as Governor of South Carolina, put it in their pipes and smoke it, that this self-same model Gov? ernor regards it a feather in his official and political cap that "nev "t since 1868 were there so few Democrats in office in this State as since my (his) administration." The Pick ens Sentinel manifests its good sense in the following sentence: "It does seem that the Governor, if he be sincere in his protestations of reform, should not be so persistently selfish as to ignore the good and sound men in the State, and who are known to be honest, and give out his appointments to men within his party, that even their most intimate friends and acquaintances know to be infamous and dishonest?thus bringing discredit and ruin upon the State." Messes. Editors : At a meeting of Broad away Club, held on Saturday last, James B. Moore, S. N. Peannan, T. W. Martin, A. C. Wardlaw and Joshua Holland were appoin? ted an executive committtee for the town? ship. The regular meetings of the Club will be on Saturday before the second Sunday in each month, in the school-room at Neal's Creek Church. Owing to the uncertainty of the weather at this season of the year, Ute Club decided to have a basket dinner instead of a pic nie on the 22nd inst., at two o'clock p. m. The speakers will be present, and we hope to have the Anderson Brass Band as well as the public generally. I ' J. B. CARPENTER, Secretary. MARKETS. Anderson, Feb. 16,1876. Cotton market quiet.

A destructive fire occurred at Ninety-Six, 8. C, December 21st, by which, four stores valued at $20,000 were burned. The spread of the conflagration, with probable destruc? tion of the whole town and loss of several hundred thousand dollars worth of proper? ty, and many lives, was prevented by the arrival of a great American Fire Extinguish? er, an Agent happening to come in town at the nick of time. For full particulars, see the Abbeville Medium and >ewherry Her? ald of the following week. Mr. P. P. Toale of Charleston, 8. C. is the General Southern Agent for the Great Amer? ican Fire Extinguisher, and will answer all inquries in regard to the same. We Most All Die, This is a sad fact, and it behooves us to be prepared to die right when the time comes. Few of us expect it until old age overtakes and admonishes us with grey hairs that the time has arrived when we must dye. Then we look around to find out the best way. We will tell you. Use no other dye than Dr. Tutt's, and you will dye right. Your grey hairs will disappear like magic, and in thin places you will have glossy, black whiskers, moustache and hair?a per? fect imitation of nature, so natural that it can not be detected, and your dying ex? penses will be but one dollar. Remember This. Now Is the time of the year for Pneumo? nia, Lung Fever, Coughs, Colds, and fatal results of predisposition to Consumption and other Throat and Lung Disease. Bos ceks's German Stecp hai been used in this neighborhood for the past two or three years without a single failure to cure. If you have not used this medicine yourself, go to your Druggist, Wilhite A WilHams, and ask him of its wonderful success among his cus? tomers. Two doses will relieve the worst case. If you have no faith in any medicine, just buy a Sample Bottle of Boschee's Ger? man Syrup for 10 cents and try it. Regular size Bottle 75 cents.
