AST ALARM OF FIBE. The dtiieru of^njjkraan were alarmed by the ringing of th? fiWbnll and cry of fire on last Tuesday at about 1 o'clock p. m. The ringing of the Carolina Collegiate Institute hell soon attracted the attention of our peo ple, anc1 the smoke issuing from the north raid corner of the large boarding house .showed plainly where thc fire was located. There was great excitement, and every one who could leave the square went to the building carrying buckets, Ac. Before the crowd arrived, however, the fire, which caught from a spark from a chimney on the end of the building, had been extinguished bv Mr- John Bruyles. who reached the building soon after the alarm was given, and ?inmediately went to the roof, where he was able to tear off shingles enough to arrest the buming. A few minutes longer would have placed the building beyond control, and have destroyed it, with a possibility of the ! University building itself. uiazujTROtia VIBES. The splendid,' rojlls of. Maj. George W. Anderson at Wilson's Bridge, on thc Saluda River, wciv-entirdy-siestroyed- by fire on last Friday afternoon. His loss is between iloo^?na^^^t^^g^^aff^ 'amount of N,*CHI'5r^Ir|a |hy**for>'. building. There' waSfno insurance upon ?he property, apd il is not kppwn bow thp fire originated. The machinery embraced a flodring and two grist mills, beides two cotton gins. The town of Honea Path suffered a severe loss by fire on last Sunday eight. McCul lough's ?torc was discovered to bc on fire about half-past eight o'clock, and thc build ing was entirely coji^rned,. together with its contents, lu'cTuMitig a large stock of goods. The books were not saved, but we leam that the notes belonging to the firm were rescued. The loss is heavy, and thc insurance is only $5,000. Tho store of M. I. Brock, across thc street from McCullough's, was also de stroy.-!. His stock was insured for $1,750, which will probably cover thc losses. The building occupied by Brock belonged to J. J. Cooley, and was not insured. The build ing occupied by Wm. Lee & Co. caught fire n great many times, but active work saved them from great loss, as their stock was only slightly damaged. The efTorts of white and colored were directed to the preserva tion of property, and great credit is given to all who worked BO faithfully. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Thc large frame building on the west side of the public reptare of Pendleton, known ?Khc 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. Thc work, how ever, to save the hotel just across thc street was very severe and dangerous. It could npt hnvc been accomplished bad there been any wind to waft the flames from thc burn ing building. The conduct pf thc citizens of Pendleton on this occasion was very courage ous, and shows them to be excellent fire men whenever occasion offers. The work dune 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 saying the surrounding buildings, The fire originated in one of thc unoccupied rooms of the house, which was used as a tenement building, and must, therefore, have been the work of atv incendiary. No suspicion rests upon any person, oo fur as wp have been able to ascertain, but wc hope the fiend will be ascertained and brought to speedy punishment. Mr. Cherry had no insurance upon thc building, and its de struction is a total lc^. .J SKATE OF AH AGED CITIZEH.

He waa the oldest resident of Anderson at the time'of his death, and one of its ancient landiunrks. Mr. Brown was a man of great energy, ^^d&r and perseverance, and was always flwrmm?ly identified with the Intercuts of the town.
