TgE, aJETLIfl?ENCEIL THE STORM WK FRIDAY. The gale on lut Friday wan tho moat con tinuous and severe that has ever been expe rienced ?u this country. Beginning s Httlo after midnight the wind waa a perfect hurri cane for near twenty-four honra, uprooting quantities of trees and demolishing many fences throughout tho Couuty and damag ing tho roots of a number of houses. At times tho rain fell in tremendous torrents, ?welling thc streams very much, washing off mill dam;t, deluging the low lands of the County and cutting the plowed uplands with ugly ditches. Considerable damage was done to our farmers. During the day it Ju tc?! and snowed but did not He upon tho ??round, and on the following morning tho niue Ridgo Mountains presented a beautiful sight, reflecting tho bright sunlight from their high peaka, which wera wrapped in deep snow. We have never Been such a combination of rain and storm continue for <o long a time. A MUSICAL 80XBEE. A iwrtlon of the citizens of Anderson enjoyed a delightful evening at thc residence of Prof. W. J. Llgon on Thursday lost, in attendance upon a cbarming musical Soiree, giren by Mrs. Plnklnd, thc accomplished sud excellent Instructress of music in tho Carolina Collegiate Institute, for thc purpose of exhibiting to the patrons of tho school the progress made by her pupils in their study of muslo. The programme for the evening was extensive and varied, embrac ing instrumental and vocal music, duets, violin accompaniment, Arc, which was cred itable alike to the teacher and her scholars. Thc pcrfonnance frequently elicited ap plause from I tho audience present, which was composed of about soventy-flve ladies and gentlemen. At tho conclusion of the music from scholar;, Mrs. and Mina Pinkind, by request, charmed those present by their beautiful rendition of several fine pieces, after which refreshments were partaken of, and the guests departed with a sense of pleasure derived from a musical feast, for which they were indebted to Ti of. Llgon and Mrs. Pinkind. A \70BD TO FARMERS. All the indications of tho present day are that within less than thirty days tho decla ration of war will have been made In Europe, and all tho principal powers of that continent will be engaged in the struggle. Indeed, it is almost impossible to adjust the Eastern question without a conflict, which must begin soon, and is destined to convulse ths whole of Europe and paralyze its busi ness energies. In the event of such a strife, America will in a great measure. become the source of supply' to' tho necessities of several of those countries. They will next cur manufac tures, will purchase our fire-arms and ainu nition, but, most of all, will have to obtain their bread and meat, to a large extent, from America. The demand for cotton may be very little or it may not be affected, but ono thing Is sure, a war in Europe will greatly advance the price of corn, flour and meat. Dur people should prepare for this contin gency by planting an abundance of corn to fupply them until another ?Top is made. Indeed, the raising of corn and meat will be more profitable than cotton if a general war occurs, as is now most likely. We have not written this article for sensation, but for the purpose of letting our people know the present business outlook, and every one can set as his own judgment dictates. BBIBT M2HTI0V. Greenville has an ordinance authorizing thc marshals to shoot dogs running ol large on the streets of the cit?- without a mnzxle. Such un ordinance would be of benefit to Anderson. We had the pleasure of a call on last Tuesday from Mr. J. A. Lo foy, from Volca no, Wood County, West Virginia, who is on a brief visit to relatives in this County. Mr. Lafoy is a native of Anderson County, ana pays an occasional visit to this section. A very large and highly prized June apple tree was blown down in the yard of Thos. H.Anderson, Esq., on last Friday by the severe gale. It waa over fifty years of age, and was quite famous in the neighborhood. Prof. N. Schmitt, of Augusta, Ga., is in , town, mid persons desiring Pianos, Mclodeons or Organs tuned or repaired can secure his services by notifying him.

Editors : The cause of temperance j is rapidly gaining ground in and around j Williamston. A division was started at this pince during thc summer of ls76 with fifteen chartered members. Since that timo there has been scarcely a meeting without ono or more accessions. The division now num bers about ono hundred members. It ia encouraging indeed to see what a chauge has come over our little village for the last few months. There are quite a number of young ladies who have joined in with us to battle against thc all pervading destroyer, alcohol, besides some very old men. All seem to bo joined hand in hand in thc glori ous cause, and agree that no whiskey must bo used during tho iiign of our beloved Hampton. At a regular meeting of this ( division, on Saturday evening, 7th inst., the following officers were elected to servo the ensuing quarter : H. I. Epting, W. P.; C. E. Horton, W. A. ; E. R. Horton, R. 8.; G. W. Anderson, A. it. S. ; J. T. Rogers, F. 8. ; Hugh Ma I haney, T. ; Rev. S. Lander, Chap. ; T. B [Crymea, C.; J. W. Williams, A.C.; H. t Horton, L 8.; H. M. Prince, O. S.; E. I, ? Pinson, P. W. P. The installation took place on last Satur I day at the Presbyterian Church, which was well filled with spectators. After the in stallation was over, Bro. H. I. Epting, D. G W. P., made a very able address, cautioning the people against the uso of spirituous liquors and showing what terrible results would follow its use upon tho human sys tem. Bro. 8. Lander was then introduced, who closed with some very appropriate re marks. After tho speaking was over tho procession formed and marched to the hall.

NEW YORK, April 16,1877. ?u beginning my loiter to-day, 1 men tion cooking aa an art, and give you what Utile ; hare gathered fros the kitchen during roy visit vo the "cook ing school." A "cooking school" is a novel establishment, even for New York, and but few persons really know how to enjoy Ute teachings of such a school until (hey get ou tho bench in the kitch en. Miss Carson, tho Principal of thia school, and "chief cook and bottlowasher," is tho name of the energetic young maid who has undertaken to teach girls, domes tically inclined, how to eater for their husbands, and especially ir lo cook. The science of cooking t. s irse dates back to tho year 1, but how Mrs. Adam looked we are not informed. At any rate she did not have tho samo kind of cooking utensils used at the present day. This school ie located at No. 8, St. Mark's Place, aud is denominated tho Mew York Cooking Behool. It has been successful, and at the matinees you meet in audience worth beholding. The sys em of this school, differing from others, s a simple one, and twelve consecutive casons constitute an entire course, no miforms or extras. In the first lesson rou i; tu dy the manufacture of soups, lamely: pea Boup, verminelli, spinach, kc., ?cc. The (second you advance to 'fishy dishes," broiled, baked and fried. The third you take up meats. Tho fourth institutes a thorough digest of large neat dishes, canton of lamb, stuffed Keast of veal (but stuffed breasts are common,) and ham. The fifth gives you i delicate idea of poultry aud game, .roiled, boiled, roasted, and even tricas :cc dishes. The sixth gives you a thor )ugh digestion of all the vegetables. The seventh bringa you to macaroni. The eighth tresta upon eggs, and how nany one should eat. The ninth teaohes di about bread and biscuits. The tenth s a sweet lesson, of course-on cakes ind pies. The eleventh lesson is .orv hin and sickly, cookery for the sick bo ng its principal teachings, and the .wei ft h lesson treats upon the various bahes for tho small fry, and particularly o fan ts, and more particularly boisterous ii fan ts. The terms of this celebrated school are ;rom five to ten dollars, according to nanuer of instruction. However, it is lot a boarding school. The chief cook is Monsieur Pallas, and ic has had considerable experience. There is but one room, which is, of course, the kitchen. The students, dur ng lecture hours, seat themselves at a arge table, note book and pencil in hand, md as tho cook carefully demonstrates he great necessity of each ingredient, lot too much pepper there, not too much ?alt here, thc cook explains minutely to 1er scholars how much should be used, ho gases evolved (and from eggs they ire sometimes disagreeable! how treated, masoned, cooked and served. Just think, low fascinating the work must be when ?he says: "Girls, you must cut up those vegetables in as pretty a manner as pot able." (I thought the girls cut up more ?ntica than vegetables the time I saw hem.) She says: "You can cook just as veil when you cook prettily. There is a jreat deal in the way food is served," ihe continued ; "and the nicer and pret .ier it looks, the more one likes it." So. >f course, according to her judgment, if rou want to be econo mical serve your food in a careless way, and you will have enough left for to-morrow's train. But the best and most pleasing feature 3f the business ia, after the students have handled it to their satisfaction, a repast is the precious reward for their labor luring the lesson. Now, a school of this kind ls not unconstitutional, and one would imagine the "girto" had fair con- | ititutions, when amazed at the manner I in which they "help themselves," no ?roting men being near to call upon. I ' iffixed tho pepper to a brunette, but, with Dcculiar curl of the lip, she replied, "I t-I-thank you." Bo I declined the ?onor to pepper anybody else, and, their neal being partially finished, and as I ivas very hungry by this Mme, I found it /cry convenient to doa my chapeau and 'bid fasewcll io every care, (in the ! shape of meats,) and wipe my weeping ;ycs." THE WONDERFUL TELEPHONE. In one of my previous letters, I alluded o the telephone concert, which was to ake place at the Academy of Music, and is it baa taken place and was a g ra:, ? iucces?, i must give you ihe interesting programme of music, which was received by telegraph from Philadelphia. I can not comp'' ai ont the entertainment at Steinway Hall, on the 2nd inst, as the leavy rain fall prevented the perfect Iransmission of the music. However, as he first melody waa received tho enthu siasm of the scientific audience was im mense. Besides the telephone amuse ment, Mr. Strakosch had provided for an jxtra concert, and it was more appro bated than the former. A short lectura ?vos delivered by Professer Gray, and the following programme from Philadelphia waa received : "Hom' 3weot Homo ;" 'Come Gentil ;" "Then you'll Remember Me;" "Last Rose of'Summer;" "M. A.ppaxie;:' "Tho Carnival of Vonice." In a few seconds after the programme vas mentioned, "Home. Bweet Home" ?vas distinctly heard all over the house' xfter which the audience went into a perfect state of enthusiasm. Some of the aigh notes were inaudible? but ware ex? rosed, however, as the telephone' was thought to "have a col'7 Tho house was full, and the uttn?i good humor prevailed. In Brooklyn, last night, the telephone concert was a completo success, every air being distinctly heard. "O, Summer night" and "Yankee Doodle" were won derful illustrations of what the telephone san do, and the audience sont up round after round of applause, thereby showing their high appreciation of this scientific apparatus, which, like Franklin's kite and Morse's great .discovery, is destined to become an instrument of the greatest utility. Philadelphia ia 90 miles or moro from New York, and to be able to liston bo music, perfect music, in Brooklyn, transmitted from Philadelphia instanta neously and at tho will of man, is too ir~?i tur contemplation, and deserves vu be considered a wonderful fact Mr. Strakosch will tako the apparatus bo England, we understand, and play, on her Majesty's birthday, 24th of May, "C/d Save the Queen." It will bo played In Liverpool and will be audible tn Buckingham Palace. EIGHT TO SEVEN. - General Fits Leo says ho waa three ?ears at West Point with Gov. Nicholls. Ce says Nicholls "was popular, ationar wiiiecv amiable and audacious. If Packard and his friends think they can 'bull doze' General Nicholls out of tho ritrhts conferred upon him by & majority of some ten thousand votes, they will lose timo? and, if they shoot, life. Tho colored Republican bf Ch?tlfs ton contemplate holding a grand mass meeting, for tho purpose of publicly and formally withdrawing their opposition vo Governor Hampton, and pledging him their aid in the tatablishnient of peace and order. This is as it should be. It sp^afcp wi eh for the good sense and re gard fur justice and right of our colored citizens. - Tho Rome Sentinel says : You can always detect a bachelor by the way be handles a baby, but to be safe from loss it is well to uso a borrowed baby in mak ing tho experiment.

This singular man lived in Creeos. He wa) distinguished for his ecceiitricitlw. bad manners, and bad disposition. It was bis chief business to find (ault. For example, ho took a lantern one day when the sun was shining brightly and went out to search for an honest man, thereby insinuating that such persons were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, a distinguished military gentle man, paid him a viv?t, and inquired what ho could do for him, he had the inuit to tell him to "get out of hin sunshine. To cap the climax of his oddities, he dressed like a beggar and lived in a tub ! Ho was a sour, crabbed, crusty old bachelor. Wo in fer that he had no wife, first, because history does not mention lier ; second, bocauso no woman would take kindly to ono of bia habit?, dress, or manners, or aspire to be come mistress of his mansion. "There waa an old woman who liv?d in a thoe," it ls true, but tho woman who would live in a tub, and especially with such a companion, has not been heard from. The misanthropic spirit which possessed thia man was doubt less duo to disordered digestion and a bil iousness, one of the prominent symptoms of which is a morose, 'fault-finding disposi tion. The tonguo is heavily coated, giving rise to a bad taste, tho appetite ia not good, tho patient feels dui', sleepy, or dizzy, and ia apt to bo fretful. Unfortunately, Mr. Diogcnea lived several centuries before Dr. Fierco'e Pleasant Purgative Pellets were In vented, a fow doses of which would have relieved him of his "bile," and enabled him to find scores of "honest mon" without thc aid of his lantern. Under their magia in fluence, combined with that of the Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse bis blood, he might have been led to take a more cheerful view of life, to exchango bia tub for a decent habitation, to "spruce up" in personal ap pearance, and at lost have taken a wife to mend his clothes und bis manners, both of which were In evident need of repairs, end become tho happy aire of little Diogencsos who would have handed down to posterity tho name, not of a cynic philosopher, but of a cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous man 1 J--i OBITUARY J DIED, at her home near Ilonca Path, on th? night of the 5th lust., Mm.
