He was in attendance upon the quarterly conference which was in session at that Cime. Tilman R.

He will make a full report in facti and figures, showing the progress of the work i Si ii j ?? ?. ?. " ? The members of the Pendleton Brass Band intend having a series of charades sometime soon to enable them to employ a competent instructor. A number of the ladies and gen? tlemen of the place will compose thecharac-1 tors in the plays. The time for the collection of Town Taxes will expire next Wednesday, March ist., and only siiiy persons have paid, leaving, according to thenumber who paid last year, three hundred.-and twenty delinquents. Some one will have to pay the penalty. A man by the name of H. C. McGrady was taken sick with congestion of the brain, at the residence of Mr. G. F. Barton, in the lower part of this County, on the 9th ins'.., and died ou the 12th. He was buried in Union Church Yard on the following day. Mr. Asa Bolt, an aged citizen of this Coun? ty, died at his-residence, nine miles west of this place, on hut Sunday, from an attack of fever. Mr. Bolt was near eighty years of age; and up to the time of his late sickness was very active and strong for a man of his years. Mrs. Jane Richey, wife of Mr. Reuben Richey, late of this Connty, -died in Bowie County, Texas, oh the 11 th of January last, of-apoplexy. Mis. Richey was a Miss Stevenson, and has many relatives and friends in this County who will regret to learn of her death. Hon. E. M. Ruck er has been appointed by the Governor of Georgia as one of the dele gates-from that State to the Southern States Immigration- Convention, which meets in New Orleans on the 1 st of March next. Col. Rucker is a prominent citizen of Georgia, who resides temporarily in our town. He is an able man, and will well represent his State in the convention/ ? We regret to announce the death of little Gertrude," infant daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James T.'McFalL, which occurred at their residence in Anderson on last Thursday morning from an attack of Pneumonia. She was just one year old, and her remains were placed in the Baptist church yard on Friday last to sleep beside her relatives who rest there. We would call the attention of our read? ers, who are farmers, to the liberal terms upon which Mr. P. K. McCully offers to furnish .the guano which has been used with such good success, and has just been intro? duced into this State. It is worth the atten? tion of those who are engaged in agriculture, and persons who have not made their arrangements for fertilizers would do well to consult Mr. McCully. The following is the list of officers installed to serve Slabtown Grange, No. 141, for the present year: W. 8. Pickens, Worthy Mas? ter;'!. Jamison, Overseer; J. P. Glenn, Lecturer; J. C. Boggs, Chaplain; J. P. Smith, Assistant Steward; T. H. Russell, Secretary; B. F. Smith, Gate Keeper; Mrs. J. P. Smith, Pomona; Miss M. Jamison, Ceres; Miss H. A. Smith, Flora; Miss SaUie Welborn, Lady Assistant Steward. The Steward and Treasurer elect were not pres? ent at installation. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Capt. W. 8. Sharpe, which appears elsewhere. The fertilizers advertized by him are standard, and have been used by nume? rous farmers in this Comity with abundant success. The use of fertilizers on our lands is absolutely necessary to secure good yields from our crops, and if farmers do not make their own fertilizers In abundance the proper use of commercial phosphates will undoubt? edly prove profitable. Capt. Sharpe'will be pleased to give any information as to terms, &c., which may be desired. As our apnior editor is absent this week, we take 4ns opportunity to republish the sketch of his life and services, which ap? peared in our enterprising and interesting contemporary, the Abbeville Medium, a few weeks since. There is an inaccuracy in it as to the length of time Capt. Hoyt was absent from the army. He was not off longer than twenty or thirty days from the effects of any wound until he was disabled, but was detained at home for about six months in 1863 by an attack of small pox. He was, however, always fortunate, or un? fortunate enough to be present when there was any fighting to be done. The sketch is woll written, and interesting to his friends and acquaintances. We learn from the Newt and Courier that on unfortunate accident occurred to our young friend Christie Orr, son of the late Hon. James L. Orr, on Saturday last. He has been attending school at the Holy Com? munion Institute, in Charleston, and had been spending the day in St. Andrew's Par? ish, and was returning home on the ferry steamer, when he approached some gentle? men who were examining a new breach loading gun, supposed to be unloaded. By some accident it was discharged and struck Christie in the foot, inflicting a wound from which one of his toes had to be amputated. We are glad to leam that the wound was not serious, and that he is getting well rapidly. In accordance with previous announce? ment, the citizens of Hall Township met at Milford's Store for the purpose of organ? izing a Democratic Club. On motion of J. 8. Beaty, Mr. John Clinkscales was called to the chair, and H. J. Wakefield requested to act as secretary. The Constitution as re? commended in the Intelligencer of 27th Jan? uary was adopted, and the Club organized permanently under the name of Hall Town? ship Democratic Club, with the following officers: President?John Clinkscales; Vice Presidents?Dr. W. J. Milford and J. 8. Beaty; Secretary <fc Treasurer?H. J. Wake field; Executive Committee?John Findley, R. R. Beaty, J. P. McGec, H. P. Price, Dr. N. J. Newell and W. D. Gray. The next meeting will be on the first Saturday in March at the Carswell Institute. All citi? zens desirous of honest government are ear? nestly requested to attend. WASHINGTON'S BIETE BAT. The 22nd of this month, Washington's dirth day, was celebrated by the Broada way Creek Democratic Club on last Tues? day morning. Mr. E. B. Murray deliv? ered the address to the large assembly of ladies and gentlemen, after which an elegant and abundant basket dinner was enjoyed by those present. Several addi? tional names were obtained for the Club. The Anderson Democratic Club cele? brated the same occasion in the Court House on Tuesday evening. The Ander? son Brass Band furnished excellent music for the evening, and the Court room was well filled with ladies and gentlemen. Messrs. Tribble and Brown entertained their audience with fine rhetorical ora? tions, which traced the character of Washington, reviewed his example and applied it to the present condition of our country. Their speeches were eloquent and patriotic. During Dr. Brown's speech, Samuel Johnson, a notorious colored politician, who is, by the grace of Governor Chamberlain, Jury Commis? sioner of this County, feeling that he could do as the Republicans did in the last campaign, attempted to disturb the meeting by lond amens and groans. Mr. E. B. Murray called upon the police to take charge of him, and stated if they did not that there were others present who would, for they wished it understood that their meetings should not be dis? turbed by rowdies of any kind. John? son was taken out, and the meeting pro? ceeded without further molestation.? The speeches* were loudly applauded, and the evening was a pleasant and in? teresting one. President Watt presided o' er it with dignity, and opened and dis? missed it with appropriate speeches. POISONED. Ann Reed, a colored woman in the em? ploy of Col.! J. N. Brown, died on last Sunday evening from the effects of a dose of strychnine taken by mistake for qui? nine. In the afternoon she complained of symptons of oh ills, and stated that she wished to go home and get some quinine, which she had been taking to break them op. She returned about dark and got an apple to take with the medicine. She went to the kitchen, and in a few mo? ments it was announced that she was quite sick, Boon after which she had vio? lent convulsions. Drs. Sharps and Scud day were immediately sent for, and ar? rived in time to give her some medicine, but too late to save her Ufa. She did not live more than about half hour, and was unconscious o?the cause of her sickness, but upon examining the bottle from which she took {he supposed quinine it was found to be strychnine. Upon ex? amining how the poison came in her pos? session it was found that it is most proba? ble it was left by some tenants, who had lived in a house to which she moved a year ago. She always kept the medi? cines for hor family, and must have put the quinine given her for chills in the bottle of strychnine, which resembled it very closely. She had recently moved again, and no donbt got the quinine and strychnine stirred up together by mov? ing, and thus lost her life by the first dose taken from it. The bottle was an old one, and she had possession of it for some time. It was undoubtedly a case of accidental poisoning, and should cause every old to be very careful in keeping poison or mixing medicines. THE SEASON OF LENT. This fast, commemorative of the fast of Christ for forty days upon the mountain, is observed by the Roman Catholic and English or Episcopal Churches. The season embraces forty fast days, though it extends over a longer period, as Sun? days are not included. It begins this year on the first day of March, which is Ash Wednesday, and ends on the eve of Easter Sunday, April 16. The regula? tions for Lent in the Catholic Church are ns follows: "All Catholics who have completed their twenty-first year must fast unless legitimately dispensed, taking but- one meal daily, about noon, excepting Sun? days, which are not fast days. Flesh meat and fish are not to be used at the same meal. A collation is allowed in the evening, not to exceed the fourth part of j an ordinary meal, at which it is permit? ted to use bread, butter, cheese, eggs, all kinds of fruit, salads, vegetables and fish. In the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee or thin chocolate made with water, and a morsel of bread is allowed by general usage. Necessity and custom have authorized the use of hog's lard in? stead of butter in preparing permitted food. The use of flesh meat is allowed by dispensation at all meals on Sunday, and once a day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with the excep? tion of Holy Thursday and the second and last Saturdays of Lent. Persons ex? empted from fasting are as follows: Per? sons under twenty-one years of age, the sick, nursing women, all who are obliged to do bard Tabor, and all who through weakness cannot fast without great prej? udice to their health." The season is also one of fasting and prayer, and the masses of the Church are very solemn and earnest. The services of the Englisn Church consist of a series of collects and prayers specially arranged for the season, and the fasting regula? tions as recommended ate about the same as in the Catholic Churchy though it is left with the individual to adopt or reject them at will. The Protestant and Baptist Churches do not recognize the observance of the season by any unusual ceremonies. A Model City.?The following dis? patch from Richmond entitles it to the above appellation: The movements against gambling in this city, which has been in operation for some time bast, is being still vigorously pushed, and within the past few days a number of gamblers and others have been indicted by the grand jury, and to? day Joseph Graves, one of the sporting fraternity, was tried in his absence on a charge of dealing faro. He was found guilty and sentenced to jail for six months, and $100 tine. W. H. Fowle, member of the Legislature from Alexan? dria, plead guilty of playing draw poker, and was fined thirty dollars. George S. Stevens, Judge of the Nelson County Court, was charged with playing poker, and not answering when called, had judgment entered against him in two cases, with thirty dollars fine In each. Eight or ten more indictments remain to be tried. All the gambling houses in Richmond have been closed some time, and nearly all the sports have left the city. We are requested to announce that Leba? non Division, Sons of Temperance, will hold a meeting at the Sandy Springs Grange Hall on the third Saturday in March, at one o'clock p. m. Mr. E. B. Murray has been requested to deliver an address upon that occasion, and the public are invited to at? tend the meeting. We are requested to announce that there will be a festival and ball in the Academy at Honea Path on the evening of the 3rd of March, for the purpose of raising funds to complete the school house now in process of erection in that town. The admission will be 50 cents. All are earnestly urged to at? tend. ? - MARKETS. Anderson, Feb. 23, 1876. Cotton market quiet. Middlings llj@lli. Charleston, Feb. 21,1876. Cotton quiet.

Cooke, Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit : The Grand Jury of Anderson County respectfully submit the following pre? sentment : That the reputation of Anderson Coun? ty as a law-abiding and peace loving peo? ple is still maintained, and crime of ag? gravated character is on the decrease. That although we are in the midst of "hard times,'' iri part occasioned by the low price of our Staple production, we aro glad to be able to report that our peo? ple have not given up to unmanly de? spondency, but have gone to work re? solved to achievo success in the face of opposing circumstances, exhibiting an energy and economy that will be fruitful of better things and better times. Good feeling prevails throughout the County, and the employer and employee are har? moniously working out the problem, the solution of which is a higher and moro permanent prosperity for the country. As directed by the Court, we have vis? ited and inspected the various County offioes. We find the School Commissioner's office in good condition, and the efficient Commissioner attentive to and well post? ed in the duties of the office. The schools have all been opened, and, the Commis? sioner is encouraged to believe, under an improved scholarship on the part of the teachers, and we recommend that he vis? it the schools as often as he can. We find the office of Probate Judge well-and neatly kept The records are all up and indexed; from a comparison of the acconnt book of this office, where? in are kept an account of all monies re? ceived, with the bank book, wherein are entered all Bums deposited in bank, we are satisfied that the law in reference to depositing the funds has been scrupu? lously observed. We inspected the Clerk's office, and found the same in good order and condi? tion, his journals and records well up. A tabular statement of the monies re? ceived by this office and not paid out, and on deposit in the National Bank of Anderson, was given us and is hereunto attached marked exhibit "A." We find the books and papers of the Sheriffs office neatly and properly kept and monies collected by him, and not paid out, on deposit in the National Bank of Anderson. We visited the jail and from the prisoners therein confined, learned that they were kindly and well treated. We would suggest that during cold weather they be allowed fuel suffi? cient for comfortable fires, and if proper that the county pay for the same. We find the Auditor's office very neat? ly kept, but without sufficient furniture. We recommend that suitable cases be fur* nished this office for the protection and preservation of the books and papers of the office. And in this connection we would further recommend that the real property be assessed for the year 18V i, ana that our Senator and Representa? tives in the House be requested to pro? cure the passage of a bill to this effect, as we are satisfied it will meet with the ap? proval of the people, and we are informed will not increase the cost of assessing. We visited the County Treasurer's of? fice, and found the business of that office well conducted, and learned that the taxes are being promptly paid. We hope ample time will be given to the tax? payers within which to discharge this duty to the State and County. And we would recommend a suspension of the law requiring the Treasurer to open his books for the collection of taxes in each township, at least for the present. A committe of our body visited the Poor House, and report the same kept in an orderly and well conducted manner, a due regard for the comfort and well being of the inmates being observable. The buildings have recently been re-cov? ered and otherwise made more com for ta ble. We visited the office of the County Commissioners and find the same well kept. The duties and responsibilities of this office are great, and we are unable to perceive the necessity of burthening the County Commissioners with the duty of auditing school claims, when it would seem to us that the School Commission? er could more properly and appropriate? ly be charged with this duty, and there? by give to the County Commissioners more time to devote to the other duties of their office. The Commissioners have apparently br ought to their assistance, a goodly amount of energy and adminis? trative ability in the discharge of their duties, and the bridges recently erected, one across Rocky River ana another across Saluda River, will long remain monuments of their judgment and skill in this line. Information has been given us that Harrison Bryant, of Garvin township, is actively engaged in the retailing of spirituous liquors without a license, and we recommend that he be indicted there? for. The names of the witnesses to es? tablish the fact have been furnished us. The roads throughout the County are unusually good lor this season of the year. In conclusion we return our thanks to his Honor the Judge, and to the Solicitor and members of the bar for courtesies shown us. Respectfully submitted, Kknon Bkeazeale, Foreman. It has been called to our attention by the Solicitor, that the Trial Justices in many cases do not observe sufficient care in the preparation of their papers and warrants, we would recommend that in all cases of larceny that the Trial Justices use more particularity in describing the articles stolen, and otherwise avoid such omissions as will create confusion.

The Career of Andrew Johnson. This statesman and patriot has passed away, but bis deeds will live after him. What a commentary is his fame on the ad? vantages of an American citizen ? unlettered and unaided, relying upon himself, he ad? vanced step by step from the lowest station in life, to the highest office in the gift of the American people. All this was accomplished by unswerving integrity, dauntless courage, and persevering research. By the exorcise of these principles, it is in the power of any poor and friendless boy to obtain the same grand result. The same success is attaina? ble in the commercial world as in the polit litical, as it is proven in the case of Db. Tdtt's Standard Preparations. He, con? scious of their value, labored patiently, and to-day no medicine has taken so firm a hold on the public estimation as his Liver Pills. They stand on the topmost round of the healing ladder._' FireU! A destructive fire occurred at Ninety-Six, S. 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 tho nick of time. For full particulars, see the Abbeville Medium and Ncwberry Her? ald of the following week. Mr. P. P. Toale of Charleston, S. C. is the General Southern Agent for the Great Amer? ican Fire Extinguisher, and will answer all inqurics in regard to the same. CUT THIS OUT, It May Save Your Lifo. There is no person living but what suffers more or less with Lung Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of med? icine that would cure them. Dr. A. Bos chee's German Syrup has lately been intro? duced in this country from Germany, and its wondcrous cures astonishes every one that try it. If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your Drug? gists, Wilhite & Williams, and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regular size for 75 cents.
