JLOCAL, MATTERS. bbxsf iramoiT. ? - Gardening is the order of the day, and we "begin to dream of early vegetables. The beat piece of wheat we ^aye Been this_ season belongs to Mr.^^WfliifbrfiOrr^ the Brown's Ferry road. Sheriff McConnell has only two boarders" at the expense of the County, and he don't want any motejuk ifow. The time for paying towh'taxes expired on the 28th of February., "Those who have ?not paid have forfeited the penalty. Mr, A. H. Osbprne is preparing to remove his steam saw mill from this place to the Three Mile Branch, on the Shallow Ford ^ Pendleton and leiten g^m n^Me^to^r :to Our young friend; Weyman Holland, is merc"fiandiahgM at Dr. Milford's, and sells exclusively for cash. He deserves a liberal patronage from the surrounding country. The wheat crop is generally backward and unpromising, although a large area was sown at the usual time. JThe fell sowing of I oats was badly damaged by the heavy | freezes, and not much is expected from this crop. Up to Monday night, Feburary 26th, the Special Agent .had issued sixteen hundred and eighty-three' receipts, aggregating the sum of $4,135.15. This is more than one half the total amount for Anderson County, and it has been paid by- less than one-third of the taxpayers. Mr. J. E. Hagood, Clerk of the United States Circuit Court in South Carolina, has reported the costs allowed in the settlement ?f the bankruptcy proceedings in relation to the Blue Ridge. Railroad at $5,648.79. Mr. Hagood reports, the taxes due in Anderson and Oconce Counties by the road at $20. ^M:tjJi>i V* ... Thenrtofrkbtfders of the Anderson Educa? tional Association, owning the property oc? cupied by the Carolina Collegiate -Institute, axe requested-to-meet in the Court House on Saturday, 17th of March, on important busi? ness. Every stockholder ought to be repre? sented in personi or by proxy. The meeting will tak* place at eleven a? m. We are glad to learn that the Anderson Comet Band has reorganized, and contem? plates increasing the number of instrumenta and also procuring a uniform. An enter? tainment for the purpose of raising funds to carry out this intention is contemplated, and we hope the plans as told to us will be promptly and successfully executed.

Rer.? ?x??<9?fV;* thV eloquent young pastor of the Methodist Church at this place, has been secured to instruct a portion of the classes in the Carolina Col legiate Institute. He is an accomplished gentleman, of high' attainments, and his services will be a valuable addition to the fiwmlty of the Institute, which, we are grat ified to know, is in, a very flourishing con ?t?ro'tbtf year. **s At / i** * The collection of the ten per cent, tax called for by Governor Hampton is progres? sing ratisfaetorily throughout the State, and shows that our people have no doubt as to who is the legal Governor of South Carolina, and'that they arewilJing totisk their money upon his government. It is patriotic in them to do.so, and we feel assured that we wirHose nothing by our contributions for good government. The address of -Prof. Holland, of the Newberry College, delivered before the Young. Men's Christian Association of this town in the Baptist'Church on last Sabbath afternoon, was an elaborate and able disser? tation upoa*,nTbe Old and New Faith." There was'a large audience present, which shows that a very general interest is felt by our citizens in the welfare of this most com ra cd nable Association. ?Messrs. McCully & Taylor have increased th'eir.stock ofgoods, and announce that their store is headquarters for plantation supplies, heavy groceries^hoots, shoes, <fcc, &c. They - also announce that they are prepared to furqish to planters one ion of the "deorgia Grange Ghano** for??464 pound" of cotton, payable on the 1st of next November. Give them, a call at the store formerly occupied by P. K. McCully.. The devil of the Greenville News got hold of our report of the rule against the Auditor of 'Anderson Countyf and transferred it bodily and literally from our columns to those brtheivnwr without any credit what eves-to the source from which he obtained tbe*4,copy.'t We merely mention the feet to show our friend Speights that he had better look after that fellow and teach him to credit articles to the paper from which he sets them up. The/books. of .^he Special :Agcnt will be open at Anderson"?. ? on and after to? morrow for the receipt of the Hampton con? tribution f?i, and aH persons who have not yet paid the ten per cent, are respectfully in? vited to call at the office of the Andeeson I intelligences for that purpose. The books will remain open until further instructions are -received, and all who desire to enroll their names among the active supporters of Governor-Hampton still have the opportu? nity offered them. We-have received an invitation to the anniversary celebration of the Excelsior Literary: Society of .the Newberry College, which conies off on the 30th of March inst. at Walhalla. Mr. G. B. Cromer is the orator for the occasion, and the subject, "Is the existence of parties in a State beneficial to the public welfare?" is to be discussed for the affirmative by Mr. J. B. Poinest and for the negative by Mr. W. J. Beard. The oc? casion will doubtless be a pleasant one. Rev. W. H. Strickland preached an excel? lent sermon on last Sabbath in the Baptist Church upon the subject of temperance, presenting the prophet Danielas a scriptural example of a temperate man. On next Sabbath he will continue the subject in a discourse upon intemperance, which he proposes to difcuss upon the same line of argument by presenting a scriptural exam? ple of intemperance. We hope he will have a large congregation upon next Sabbath morning to hear his conclusion of the sub? ject begun. "Where did Hardserabble get its name?" we asked an old citizen last week, as we ap? proached that famous locality on Big Gene rostce. The explanation was-that a certain friend of ours, in his youthful days, attempt*, ed to carve out a fortnne for himself, and after tjnluckily losing a couple of mills and otllBf Moperty by great freshcte in quick tTjcct.^ion, be quit the locality in disgust, $swfed the tfbcp hill on this ride of the (Jr?e&*nd carved the word "Hardivrabble'' ^n^r^ttl?**^? tM-tfth W* do not vouch for the accuracy of thin informa? tion. Clinkscalcs' Mills, on Hencoop Creek, in Martin Township, deserves a passing notice. The machinery is of the latest improvement, and cannot be excelled in this section of the country. The wheat and grist mills are pro? pelled by an eighteen inch turbine wheel. The flour and meal are of superior quality, -and we think the neighborhood is quite for? tunate in thVrespect. The miller, W. T. Taylor, has been engaged for twelve or four? teen years, and bears the reputation of a strictly honest and capable man among the numerous customers. Captain Capers Skelton, colored comman der-in-chief of the malitia company of Rock Mills township, has announced that he is a Trial Justice for this County under Governor Chamberlain's appointment, and that he is in weekly correspondence with his ex excellency. We advise this Captain -to content himself with his military renown, as it will be dangerous to attempt the exer? cise of civic functions under an appointment of Chamberlain . If he disregards our friend? ly warning it will simply impose a job on Judge. Cookc at his next judicial visit to Anderson. An old bachelor of Anderson says he in I tends to offer himself as & prize, to be com ! peted for at the next Animal County Fair, to the young lady, under or above the age of eighteen, who can cook the best dinner in .the short eat space of time, and that several have already expressed their intention to compete for the prize. This will save the Fair Association the usual expense of the stove offered on such occasions, and will rid Anderson of another bachelor. That's right, George, if you can't fool them one way do it another, and hold them to their promise. 8herard's Store, in the Dark Corner, is one of the oldest institutions of Anderson County. For more than three quarters of a century, a mercantile establishment bearing this name has been conducted in this locali? ty, and it has always been' noted for liberali? ty and fair dealing. Three generations of the Sberards have kept up this store almost without interruption, and the present pro? prietor, Mr. Thomas A. 8herard, can hope? fully expect to transmit the establishment to the fourth generation, represented by a young scion of the house bearing his name and lineage. ... The bull-dozing and eccentric young men Who conduct the Abbeville Medium, un? mindful of the old adage that "truth is mighty and will prevail," recently attempt? ed to show that the senior editor of the In? telligences was responsible for the low price of cotton! We have not sold a pound of cotton this season, and in truth have not ginned any of our crop yet, as we are wait? ing for a rise in the Abbeville market, where we propose to offer the greater part of the crop before a great while. In fact, our cot? ton was planted expressly for that market, and was never intended for home consump? tion. The Cars well Institute is rapidly develop? ing the resources of that neighborhood, and in a short time we may expect a considers nie town around it. Mr A E. D. Pruiett has lately erected a boarding-house, where pupils are accommodated with good board at cheap rates, t Mr. Samuel A. Dean built a cottage there last 'year, and Dr. Milford is now building a house for Mr. Ramsey of Greenville County, who is educating his children at the Institute. Rev. W. E. Wal? ters, one of the principals, has just com? pleted a neat residence, and the other prin? cipal, Rev. E. R. Carswell, has lately made great improvements upon his residence. Holland's Store, near the Savannah River, is owned by Mr. A. M. Holland, who re? moved from Anderson twenty years ago this spring, and has kept up a store there ever since, unless there was a hiatus during the war.' He is "monarch of all he surveys," and owns quite a number of cottages, which are occupied by tenants. Besides, he has a mw mill and a grist mill, which are run by one of Tozer's Agricultural Engines, and he gins cotton during the season by the same power. Mr. Holland says that he has never experienced a loss by stealing during twenty years, and leaves his iron and nails outside the store, where they remain unmolested all the time. This is saying a good deal for the honesty ofthat community. BtackwoocCs Magazine for February, repub lisbed by the Leonard 8cott Publishing Co., 41 Barclay Street, New York, has a long ar? ticle on the "Situation in America," which is perhaps as correct as the accounts written by foreigners of the political complications in other countries generally are. The paper oh "Philanthropy in War" is written by a soldier and philanthropist, who was active in relieving those who suffered during the Franco-German war. He explains the re? lief systems adopted by various countries, and discusses the question as to the legiti? mate nature of this kind of neutral help. The article entitled "New Books" notices several recently-published biographies, the first in order, and the most interesting of which, in the "Life of a Scotch Naturalist," by Samuel Smiles. The sketch of his life and character here given is well worth read? ing. "It is the story of a poor shoe-maker, who is a famous natural philosopher with? out ceasing to'" make shoes, or attaining in his old age to any seat more easy than that of the fami .iar bench." Part IX. of the "Woman Eater" leaves us in doubt whether a few more chapters will finish the story, or whether, like the' brook, it will go on for? ever. A new serial, "Eauline," is com? menced in this number. The heroine ap peifs to be a person of a determined, not to say obstinate character, and the indications are that she will meet with a series of inter? esting adventures. The periodicals reprint? ed by the Leonard Scott Publishing Co. (41 Barclay Street, N. Y ) are as follows : The I London Quarterlg Edinburgh, Westminister and British Quarterly Reviews, and Black j wood's Magazine. Price, $4 a year for any one, or only $15 for all, and the postage is prepaid by the Publishers. CLEVER. Muskat, of the Anderson Intelligencer, who made a flaming woman's rights speech himself at Charleston in 1875, (and who has since become a married gentleman,) has a clever way of charging other people with having done so. Go on, old mun, if vou think there is no hereafter.?Camden Jour? nal. You draw conclusions too fast, friend Traut ham. The junior editor of this paper was not directly tor indirectly connected with the paragraph announcing that the Journals editor was practicing what he preached. We know there is an old adage that misery loves company, and perhaps he desired to inform the State press that he was not the only advocate of woman's rights at the Press Association of 1875. We trust Trantham will be in Charleston at the meeting in May, as he has removed the ob? stacle which prevented his attendance at Spartanburg last year. Should he be pres? ent, we promise him marked attention as the youngest married man of the Associa? tion. Buy only the Best.?It will be a waste j of time and money for fanners to buy infe? rior fertilizer because they are seemingly, cheap from being low priced. Use only ar? ticles which have been tested for years, and have proved adapted to the making of Corn and Cotton. Such an article is the Wilcox, Gibbs& Co.'s Manipulated Guano, which the manufacturers offer, through their agents, on very liberal terms, delivered at the depots In the interior; payable in Mid? dling Cotton, at fifteen cents per pound, de? livered at planters' namst depft next-Fell CHABADE8 AT PENDLETON. We are requested to announce that some of the ladies and gentlemen of Pendleton will give'an entertainment to ^consist of charades and music in Maxwell's hall in that town on Friday evening, for the benefit of the Baptist Church. The charades will begin at half-past seven o'clock. Thewl niission charge will be fifty cents, children half price. Those who attend on this occa? sion will no doubt enjoy themselves very much, as the management as well as the actors for the evening ensure a fine success. Indeed, Pendleton is noted for the handsome manner in which her citizens acquit them? selves in whatever they undertake. The talent iieretofore exhibited by some ama teurs of the town .in the line of this enter tainment is a sufficient guarantee that thosi who are present will get their money's worth independent of the charitable purpose which it will be applied. We trust the forts of those getting r.p these charades w be rewarded by a full house on Friday night. FOBS L0CAL3.

Washington's birth-day passed without any unusual demonstrations at this place although the '"Hampton Mounted Xlub' felt disposed to celebrate the same,' being full of patriotic zeal. They concluded, like the Washington Light infantry, of Charles ton, that they should obey Gov. Hampton's request to defer it . 80 mote it be.A squad ot' Yankee Cavalry passed this place early on.

The Honea Path Bible Society met at Broadmouth Baptist Church on last Sab? bath. The Society is doing some work, arid is making visits to the differenfc^Churches within its bounds for the purpose of getting the congregations interested in the work, and supplying those who are destitute. The next meeting will be held at Barker's Creek Church on the first Sabbath in April. Planters are not buying largely of guanos this season. Cause: High freights and hard times.The Greenville & Columbia Rail? road does not seem disposed to reduce its rates of freights, and as a consequence, much of the business that should be done along the line of road has been transferred to Greenville. This should not be the case.

This reran excellent opportunity .'offered to our. citizens, and ho doubt numbers of them will embrace it to secure likenesses of themselves and friends History of a Picture. Two of the most celebrated artists the world has ever known .dwelt in the same city. One delighted in delineating beauty in all its graces of tint,-form, and motion His portraits were instinct with the charm of physical vigor. .. The graceful, half-vo? luptuous outline of form and feature har? monized with delicately blended tints. On his canvas,' the homeliest faces had an al? most irresistible charm. The other found pleasure only in depicting weirdand gloomy subjects. Above all, did he excel in paint? ing the portraits of the dying. The agoniz? ing death-throe, the gliastly. face and form, were all depicted with marvelous fidelity. There existed between these artists the most intense dislike. At length this dislike cul? minated. The beauty-loving artist had been engaged in painting tho portrait of a beautiful woman. Connoisseurs pronoun? ced it the most wonderful piece of art that had ever been produced. His brother artist was jealous of his fame and sought revenge. By bribing the keeper of the studio he gain? ed access to the picture each night. At first he was' content to only deaden the brilliancy of the complexion and eyes, efface thebioom from cheek and lip and paint a shadow ott either cheek. Later, his strokes grew bold? er and freer, and one morning the ariist awoke to find the'entire outline of the por? trait changed/ He could scarcely recognize in the emaciated form and haggard counte? nance the glowing conception he had em? bodied. The pallid face and expressionless eyes he had attributed to a lack of genuine? ness in his materials; but when the out? lines were changed he suspected the cause and indignantly dismissed the keeper. Wlmt the revengeful artist marred by a few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was only restored by years of patient industry. Reader, need we. name the artists?Health, who paints the'-flowers and "grassy carpet" no less than the human form divine?Dis? ease, the dreaded artist who revels among the ruins both of nature and humanity? and carelessness, the keeper to whom Health often intrusts his portraits. And is it not the beauty of woman, the most admired of all the works which adorn the studio of Health, that Disease oftenest seeks to mar ? The slightest stroke of his brush upon the delicate organization leaves an imprint that requires much skill and patience to efface. Restoration must be prompt. . Carelessness must be dismissed.'
