THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. Y. K. C. A. Rev. D. E. Frierson has been elected to deliver the annual address before the Young Mens' Christian Association of this town. The annual meeting will be held in Tempe? rance Hall on the second Wednesday even? ing in January. The occasion will be one of interest, and the ladies and gentlemen of Anderson are invited to attend. A5 ALARM 0? FIRS. The citizens of-Anderson -were alarmed by the ringing of the fire^bejl and cry of fire on last Tuesday at about 1 o'clock p. m. The ringing of the Carolina Collegiate Institute bell soon attracted the attention of our peo? ple, and the smoke issuing from the north? east corner of the large boarding house showed plainly where the fire was located. There was great excitement, and every one who could leave the square went to the building carrying buckets, &c. Before the crowd arrived, however, the fire, which caught from a spark from a chimney on the end of the building, had been extinguished by Mr. John Broyles, who reached the building soon after the alarm was given, and immediately went to the roof, where he was able to tear off shingles enough to arrest the burning. A few minutes longer would have placed the building beyond control, and have destroyed it, with' a- possibility of the University building itself. -fM-\-~ . DI8?S7EOUS FIEES. The splendid mills of, Maj. George W. Andersop at Wilson's Bridge, on the Saluda . Riverr wera ? entire!y^destreyed- by fire on last Friday afternoon. His loss is between $f00^ana^^i?^B|g|apa^! fajn?unt of machiSSy^uo^a $hrewfory:< building. Aere waro? insurance lipon the property, and it is not known how the fire originated. The machinery embraced a'flonring and two gri6t mills, besides two cotton gins. The town of Hones Path suffered a severe loss byfire on last Sunday .eight. McCul lough's store was discovered to be on fire about half-past eight o'clock, and the build? ing was entirely .cc^psumed^ together with its (?ntentsf-ibcfTCinga'large stcck of goods. The books were not saved, but we learn that the notes belonging to the firm were rescued. The loss is heavy, and the insurance is only $5,000. The store of M. I. Brock, across the street from McCullougrTs, was also de? stroyed. His stock was insured for $1,750, which will probably cover the losses. The building occupied by Brock belonged to J. Cooley, and was not insured. The build? ing occupied by Wm. Lee & Co. caught fire a great many times, but active work saved them from great loss, as their stock was only slightly damaged. The efforts of white and colored were directed to the preserva "tton of property, and great credit is given to all who worked so faithfully. The origin of j the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to be j the work of an incer diary. . The large frame building on the west side of the public square of Pendleton, known ?the Cherry Hotel? was consumed by fire on last Friday night. It was a still, cold night, and the fire was therefore more easily prevented from spreading. The work, how? ever, to save the hotel just across the street was_very severe and dangerous. It could not have been accomplished had there been any wind to waft the flames from the burn? ing building. The conduct of the citizens of J Pendleton on this occasion was very courage? ous, and shows them to be excellent fire? men whenever occasion offers. The work done by Messrs. A. J. Sitton and E. M. Taylor is complimented by every one we have heard speak of the fire. The colored men of Pendleton also rendered valuable service in saving the surrounding buildings. The fire originated in one of the unoccupied rooms of the house, which was used as a tenement building, and -must, therefore, have been the work of an incendiary. No suspicion rests upon'any person, so far as we have been able to ascertain, but we hope the fiend will be ascertained and brought to speedy punishment. Mr. Cherry had no insurance upon the building, and its de? struction is a total loqi. ..." DEATH OF AS AGED CITIZEN. The reaper Death has been in pur midst again. All classes and conditions of society are subject to'th'e inevitable and irresistible power of the grim monster, and the commu? nity has realized of late the truth that "the young may die and the old must die, and the wisest knoweth not how sooii." It is our painful duty this morning to an? nounce the death of Daniel Brown, Esq., which occurred at his residence in this town oh Friday night, 15th inst., in the 78th year of his age. Mr. Brown was born in Abbe? ville County, within one mile of Donnalds ville, on the 27th of October, 1799. When he was-About seventeen' years-old, his father ] moved to Pendleton County, and settled on Broadaway Creek, near the place now known as Prevost's mill. Mr. Brown was first married to Miss Rhoda Acker, when he *$&jBjb&&& a? -his age. - By this marriage he had eleven children, and eight I ofifli^h^v'ed to be grown, surviving their | mother. He was married, the^second time on the 7th of May, 1840, to Mri.'Eleanor Nardin, by whom he had two children. He commenced life by farming 'and mer? chandizing in 1822, one mile below Varen nes, on the General's road, and afterwards removed to a place known as Tucker's mill, on Wilson's Creek, where he remained two years. Upon the division of Pendleton Dis? trict into Anderson and Pickens, Mr. Brown purchased and improved one of the original lots in the town of Anderson, and moved here on the 5th of November, 1827, where he engaged in the mercantile business, and has been a citizen of the town ever since. He was the oldest resident of Anderson at the time of tiis death, and one of its ancient landmarks. Mr. Brown was a man of great energy, acti-.ity and perseverance, and was always prominently identified with the interests of the town. Public spirited and sagacious in whatever enterprise was started for the ad? vancement of local interests, his judgment was relied upon by his fellow-citizens to a great extent, and this made him conspicuous in all periods of his life. His energy never abated until within the last few months, when disease seized upon his strong, active frame, and he was compelled-to forsake the busy walks of life, in which he had been accustomed to meet with his fellow-citizens during the last fifty years. His industry and thrift were conspicuous examples during all that time, and even his declining years gave evidence that the business qualifications which had marked his career were undinuned by iht weight of, old age.^/He was always cfreerrurTh (Hsposiitort.aricf His heart devised liberal things for those around him. His benevolence was practical in its character, and charity towards mankind one of his dis? tinguishing traits. As a. member of the Baptist Church* for more than forty years, he was always devoted to its interests; liberal and enlarged in his views withal, he gave abrradant evidence in his life that a broad, datholie faith actuated him irr religious af? fairs, and in his last illness that bis sole re? liance was upon the Redeemer of mankind. He-ifl gorre from our midst forever, but he leaves the heritage of a good name to his numerous descendants, and his memory will survive in the hearts of those who knew him and honored his upright, consis? tent life. - BRIEF MENTION. It is not strictly polite to practice the habit of smoking in the vestibule of a church. Mr. J. A. Daniels requests us to say that his stock of jewelry will not be so complete after the 10th of January next. We have received some very fine turnips from Rev. Jacob Burriss, who has been very successful in raising this crop the present season. When you sell your cotton do not forget how glad the printer will be to receive a small portion of it upon your paperaccount. Every little helps. Mr. A. B. Towers gives notice in this issue that he has on hand a nice stock of good things for Christmas. He will also insure your property in good companies. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Mr. A. P. Hubbard. Persons wish? ing to purchase confectioneries, &c., for Christmas, would do well to give him a call. Mr. William Burriss sent us last week the finest average turnips we have seen this year. The turnip crop in Anderson County is better than it has been for several years. The Savannah Democratic Club will meet at Holland's Store on Saturday, 23rd inst., at 2 o'clock p. m. A full attendance is re? quested, as business of great importance will be brought before the meeting. Rev. J. K. Mendenhall, District Secretary of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, preached in the Baptist church on 8unday night. He will serve as an Evangelist in this State next year. Our friends will oblige us by always shut? ting the doors when they come into or leave either the printing office or editorial rooms. By following this suggestion they will spare us much inconvenience, without giving themselves much trouble. Christmas is coming, and persons wish? ing to supply themselves with confectione? ries, to3's, &c, &c, for the holidays, can get their wants supplied upon reasonable terms at J. R. Fant's at his store in Masonic build? ing. See advertisement elsewhere. The young ladies and gentlemen of Belton propose to give an entertainment on Christ? mas night, the proceeds of which will be given to the Baptist Church. Admittance fee, 50 cents; children, 25 cents. We trust the entertainment will be liberally patron? ized. Senator Cochran voted on the first ballot for Gen. M. W. Gary for United States Sen? ator. On the second, third and fourth bal? lots he voted for D. T. Corbin. On the fifth ballot he voted for Gen. Gary, and then changed, so that he voted for Corbin on the last ballot. The Garvin Democratic Club met on the 16th inst., and adopted a series of resolu? tions, among them a recommendation of Col. T. J. Pickens for Treasurer of Anderson County. The Club adjourned to meet at M. Richardson's on Saturday, 30th of Decem? ber, at one o'clock. The advertisement of Messrs. Gilreath & Peoples announces to the public that they have reduced the prices of their stoves, and have on hand a fine lot of tinware. They are prepared to give satisfaction to their customers, and solicit a trial from persons wishing to purchase goods in their line. We would call attention to the prospectus of the Leonard Scott publishing company, which appears on another page of this issue. This company reprint the excellent literary reviews and magazines of England and Scot? land, which rank among the very first pub? lications of current literature in this age. The merchants and business men of An? derson have agreed to close their places of business on Monday and Tuesday next, in order to give their employees an opportunity for enjoying the Christmas holidays. Our friends from the country will make their ar? rangements accordingly, and not expect to transact business at this place on the days mentioned. The county officers elected on the 7th of November have all prepared their official bonds, which are duly recorded in the Clerk's office, as the law requires, and they are now awaiting their commissions from Gov. Hampton, to whom the bonds have been forwarded., These gentlemen do not recognize Chamberlain as the Governor, and will not accept commissions at his hands. This is the right position. GRANGE OFFICERS. At an election for officers of Rock Mills Grange, No. 154, the following persons were elected, and will be installed npon the sec? ond Saturday in January to serve for the ensuing year: Dr. T. J.

The following resolutions were adopted by the Slabtown Democratic Club at its regular meeting on Saturday last. Resolved, That in accordance with .the re? cent suggestion of the Central Executive Committee, it is the sense of this Club that the doors for the admission of new members should be thrown* wide open to our colored friends who still stand aloof from our organ? ization. Resolved. That vigorous and immediate efforts be made by all the clubs to enlist the co-operation and zeal of our colored friends in the great work of reform. Resolved, That the questions which at first seemed to be of supreme importance to the people of our State alone have now become the rallying cry of the friends of liberty throughout the union. and we call upon all to stand firm to the post of duty aim battle earnestly for the great cause of reform, State and National.

I hereby return my most sincere thanks to all those neighbors and friends, both white and colored, who so promptly lent their assistance in the extinguishment of the fire on the roof of the building in which I live in the University yard. W. J. LIGON. STATE NEWS. ? The press of the State generally favor a repeal of the lien law, as it works to the damage of both the giver and taker, thereby injuring the business of the coun? try. ? Ed. Jackson, colored, was killed last Friday night while attempting to rob the hen house of Wm. Frederick, another colored man, near Timmonsville, S. C. Frederick shot him in the back while running and killed him instantly. ? The DeKalb monument in Camden is in need of repairs. The inscriptiou, "A German by birth, but in principle a citizen of the world," is becoming indis? tinct. The ladies of the town are invited to have it retouched, to keep fresh the memory of the revolutionary hero. ? The steamer Harvey Mills sailed from Port Royal, S. C, December 13, loaded with 6,464 bales of cotton for Eng? land. A tri-wcekly line of steamers has been established from this place to New York, and it bids fair to become a port of naval and commercial importance. ? Seven of the negroes who are charged with the murder of Mr. A. J. Gregg, which occurred a few weeks ago, near Mars Bluff, have been arrested and lodged in the Marion jail. This is an? other of the diabolical murders perpe? trated by the negroes upon white men without any just cause. ? The cemetery attached to the Mi th odist church in Georgetown has been so completely filled with graves that no more interments will be permitted, ex? cept in lots which have been reserved and enclosed by families. Many of the graves are unmarked and cannot be dis? tinguished. A new cemetery has been opened to receive the future dead. ? It is understood that as soon as it can be definitely ascertained which is the legal Legislature of South Carolina ap? plication will be made for a charter for a canal from Santee River to Sampit Creek, and that already a large amount has been subscribed by planters and mer? chants on the Wateree and Combahee Rivers to accomplish this great enter? prise. ? The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says Hon. George Ban? croft, the historian, has started a subscrip? tion list for a testimonial fund for Gov? ernor Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, whose home was recently burned by in? cendiaries, contributing himself $100. Mr. Bancroft is a Republican, but ad? mires Governor Hampton's recent actions very much. Mr. Corcoran has subscribed SI,000, and Mr. Columbus Alexander $100. It is thought a very handsome sum will be realized. ? A despatch from Vicksburg to the New Orleans Picayune says John P. Bris coe, a prominent Democrat and chancery clerk of Claiborne County, was assassin? ated Saturday last, while out hunting, two miles from Port Gibson. He was the only witness against the negroes who fired on a sheriff's posse October 21. ? A colered child on the plantation of Mr. Austin Peay, near Ridgeway, in Fairfield County, died from the effects of a burn received lrom the accidental igni? tion of her clothing. The affectionate parent was on his way to town, and was overtaken and informed of the catastro? phe, but he did not think it necessary to return. ? The residence and kitchen of Miss Maria Spann, near Providence, in Sumter County, with almost the entire contents, were burned on Monday morning, 11th inst., about 4 o'clock. The fire com? menced in the kitchen, and when the family awoke, they barely bad time to dress and get out of the house with a few articles. ? The gin house of Mr. O. W. D. Rus? sell, of Fairfield County, with fourteen bales of cotton, and the gin house of Mr. Blewett Worthy, with eight bales of cot? ton and 800 bushels of cotton seed, were burned on the night of the 1st instant. Both fires were the work of incendiaries. ? A considerable quantity of cotton was burned on the Spartanburg and Union Railroad last week, having caught from a spark from the engine. The amount of the damage was considerable. The cotton was being transported on a fiat car. HYMENEAL. MARRIED, by Rev. W. P. Martin. De? cember 14th, 1876. at the residence of W. C.

Over 6,000 Druggists have ordered this medicine direct from the Factory, at Woodbury, N, J., and not one has reported a single failure, but every letter speaks of its astonishing success in curing severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs.

PREPARE FOR IT. MEDICAL NOTICE. THE Physicians of Anderson County, realizing the imposition practiced upon them by certain unscrupulous parties, upon consultation have adopted the following preamble and resolutions, as set forth by the Meadvillc Medical Socioty of Penn? sylvania : Whebeas, It is a fact well known to eve? ry Practitioner of Medicine that there is a certain class of persons in every communi? ty who, while abundantly able to remuner? ate their family Physician for professional services, habitually defraud him out of hon? est dues, and exchange him for another as soon as payment is insisted on for past ser? vices ; and whereas, this system of fraud has become such a nuisance in this commu? nity, that some concerted action on the part of Physicians has become a necessity for self-protection. Therefore, be it Resolved, By the Physicians whose names are hereunto subscribed that we, and each of us, will furnish our accountant a com? plete list of delinquents referred to. Resolved, That Mr. is here? by authorized to notify each of said delin? quents, by printed circular, of such delin? quency, the amount of arrears, and to whom due, with the information that if these ar? rears are not paid, or satisfactorily adjusted in thirty days from date of such notice, their names will appear on the general printed Black List.
