THE ffTETLLIGMCER.
LOCAL. MATTERS.
BRIEF MEBTIOH.
A charter has been granted to the Grang?
ers' Savings Rank.of Anderson. A compa?
ny will probably organize and accept the
charter at an early date.
Messrs. B. Prank Sloan and J. W. Gray,
representatives from Oconeo and Greenville
Counties, visited their homes during the
late recess of the House of Representatives.
We would call the attention of our read?
ers to the communication of Mr. B. F. Cray
ton relative to the fence law act. This is a
very important matter for our people, and
we hope the suggestions made by Mr. Cray
ton'will be promptly carried out.'
Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland will preach
in the Baptist Church next Sunday at ifcJO
.a. m. Subject?"No justification by the
deeds of law.". At night at 8:30, subject?
?"Death bed repentance." Baptism will be
administered at 5 p. m. at the river?usual
place.
The hill-side known to -Anderson pedes?
trians in wet weather as "Todd's pull" has
been cut down, and when sanded will afford
no further inconvenience to foot passengers
in making the trip to and fro between the
Northern portion of the-town and the
square.
We regret to learn that the kitchen-of
Rev. B. Hays was consumed by fire on last
Tuesday night. Nothing was saved from
the burning building, and it was difficult
to protect the dwelling from the flames.
The cause of the fire is supposed to have
been accidental.
We were in error last week in stating that
Capt. A. T. Broyles assisted in the defense
of Mr. H.\ Lawrence Smith for assault and
battery with intent to . kill. The.defimse
was conducted by .Messrs.,Featherston &
Brown only, and Capt. Broyles was not con?
nected with the case.
The Legislature has passed a bill to pre
-vent the sale of spirituous liquors within
three miles of Williamston Female College.
The frolics of John Barleycorn have there?
fore ended, it is to be hoped, so far as the
classic shades of Williamstbn and its vicini?
ty are concerned.
Belton produced a mad dog which played
havoc with the cariines of that quiet town
on last Thursday night by biting a great
many of'them. The dog was killed by
Capt Ira C. Williams, and many of the
bitten dogs were also killed, and others
have been, put up to await results.
Col. F. E. Harrison has been very suc?
cessful in the manufacture of thread from
seed cotton by his new machinery, and is
now turning outa large quantity for market.
The thread is of fine quality, and is popular
with consumers. It may be found for sale
in several of the stores in Anderson.
We had avery pleasant call last week from
our friend J. W. Bailey, editor of the Green?
ville Enterprise and Mountaineer. He paid
as usual, a very short visit to our town.
We are always glad to greet bis paper
among our exchanges,_and of course enjoy
even more the presence of its genial editor.
The hands have been doing valuable work
on portions of Main street during the last
week, but they will find their services great?
ly needed on the side walk of the upper por?
tion of the street in front of the residences
of Messrs. C A. Reed and S. Bleckley. A
little attention would put them in good
order.
Kev. J. K. Mendenhall, who has devoted
himself for the past year to evangelical work,
has been conducting a very interesting series
of meetings in the Baptist Church at Wil
liamston. Many conversions have been
made, and it is believed much good will
flow from these exercises to the community
at large.
Capt. John W. Daniels, Clerk of the Court
for this County, has, under the order of
Judge Cooke, prepared a list of the bonds
on file in his office, given by fiduciaries...
which are about to go out of date. Parties,
interested in estates in which there are such
bonds would do well to examine the Cap?
tain's report, which, is on file as a matter|of
reference in his office.
John E. Allen, Esq., was admitted to the
practice of law on last Thursday, after pass?
ing a thorough and most highly creditable
examination in open Court. Mr. Allen is a
young gentleman of fine qualities of mind
and heart. He possesses.numerous friends
in this community, who will be gratified at
the professional success he will no doubt
deserve and attain.
Information from the Storeville country
renders it almost certain that the burning of
Mr. Benjamin Strickland's house was not
the work of an incendiary. Members uf
his family were about the house a short
time previous to the conflagration and left
the house, which took fire from within,
locked. Hence, it is pretty certain that it
originated accidentally.
Quite a number of dogs have been killed
in Anderson for violating the town ordi?
nance by coming upon the streets unmuz?
zled. We wish all the worthless curs of the
town and surrounding country could be in?
duced tc visit our streets in defiance of the
ordinance. Our slumbers would not then
be disturbed by their howling, and flocks of
sheep would not fall victims to their rapac?
ity.
James L. Orr, Esq., spent a portion of last
week at home, resting after his arduous la?
bors as Chairman of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. Messrs. Simpson,
Brown and Vandiyer also availed them?
selves of an adjournment of the House from
Friday to Monday to pay short visits to
their homes. All of these gentlemen are in
fine health, and appear as if legislative la?
bors agrees with.them.
We respectfully invite the attention of
our readers to the change in the advertise?
ment of the New York Cash Store. The
summer season is very dull, and money is
scarce, in consequence of which Messrs. Arn?
stein & Rose, who are determined to out do
the times, are, offering their goods at the
most reasonable prices. To be convinced of
this it is only necessary to give them a call.
We would respectfully ask the attention
of our delinquent subscribers to the fact that
wc must have a little money to run a news?
paper on through the summer, and if each
of our readers who knows that he is in?
debted to us for subscription will send us
one dollar on his account during this month,
it will afford us the desired assistance. Do
not leave this request to be complied with
by your neighbors, but pay in your own
dollar also, as newspapers live by an aggre?
gation of small sums.
Mr. S. D. Deal, the proprietor of the pop?
ular Williamston Hotel, has improved and
enlarged the building by adding seven new
rooms, for the purpose of accommodating
his increasing patronage. His house is now
very commodious and comfortable in its
construction, is kept in the neatest possible
manner, and his table is supplied with the
most excellent bill of fare that could be
wished. In other words, Mr. Deal has a
fine building, and is a model host. He is
situated within a pleasant walk of the cele?
brated Mineral Spring, and persons visiting
the up-country in quest of health or pleas
ure cannot make a more agreeable stop than
with Mr. Deal at Williamston.
The farmers are complaining somewhat
of the dry weather, though it has enabled
them to get their crops in excellent order.
The corn and cotton are free from grass, and
as soon as they can get rain will grow off
rapidly. If we can have rain within the
next week, very little damage will have
been done by the drought, except the almost
complete destruction- of gardens. The dry
weather has been very favorable to wheat
and small grain generally, and where there
is a stand of these crops the yield will bo
excellent.
Col. Thomas J. Pickcns has received the
appointment of County Auditor from Gov.
Hampton for Anderson County. Col.
Pickens is a gentleman of education and
culture, whose experience in past years as
Comptroller General of South Carolina
eminently befit him for the work of the
Auditor's office. He is a brother of Ex
Goy. Pickens, and has been intimately con?
nected with, public affairs in South Curolina
for many years. The Colonel willnoWi as
he has always done heretofore, make an
efficient, faithful and acceptable officer.
There is a great deal of sickness about
Anderson at this time, caused, it is general?
ly believed, by the unwholesome and extra?
ordinary weather we have been having.
These cases are not caused by anything of a
local character, as they have manifested va?
rious forms of attack, showing that it is
only the -development of some physical
weakness attaching to the constitution of
! individuals, and brought out by the remark?
able and unseasonable weather.
Key. W. H. Strickland, of this place, has
been elected to deliver the annual literary
address before the Philosophian and Adel
phiah Societies of Furman University du?
ring the commencement exercises of that
institution of learning. The address will
be delivered in the Court House at Green?
ville on the evening of Tuesday, the 19th
inst., and those present will no doubt enjoy
a literary treat. These societies have made
a good selection for their orator, and are
fortunate in having secured the acceptance
of Mr. Strickland.
Mr. A. B. Towers returned on Thursday
last from his visit to New Orleans to tttend
the Southern General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church. Mr. Towers enjoyed
his visit greatly, not only from the pleasure
of the sessions of the Church Council, but
from many pleasant incidents connected
with his trip. While gone he visited with
an excursion party the mouth of the Mis?
sissippi river, and was much pleased with
the work of deepening the bed of the river
by means of the celebrated jetties, and he
has the strongest faith in the feasibility and
ultimate success of the plan adopted.
We are indebted to Mr. G. W. Fant for a
box of beautiful Souvenir Papeterie, sent us
as a sample of one of the many elegant
styles of letter, note and business paper
kept by him at the Post Office Book Store.
Mr. Fant makes - a specialty in business of
school, literary and blank books, stationery,
&c. Persons wishing anything in his line
can be gratified at the most reasonable
rates. Any book desired can be ordered
through Mr. Fant and speedily obtained at
publisher's price, where it is not already on
hand. All correspondents should obtain a
I box of his new letter and note paper.
Governor Hampton has appointed Mr.
! Samuel E. Moore Treasurer for Anderson
County. There were several other appli?
cants for this office, any one of whom
is competent and suitable for the position,
and who would have been acceptable to the
people of Anderson County if appointed
Treasurer. Mr. Moore was Tax Collector
under Gov. Orr's administration, and prob?
ably before that time. He is therefore fa- *
miliar with the duties of the office, and
wili discharge them faithfully and satisfac?
torily. . He was a brave soldier in the late
war, and lost a leg in his country's service.
He is a gentleman of character and integ?
rity, whose appointment meets with the
people's approbation.
Mr. John C. Squier, general travelling
-agent of the Columbia Register, is in Ander?
son for the purpose of receiving new sub?
scriptions and renewing those which have
expired. The Register has always been a
popular paper in Anderson, and this popu?
larity has been very much increased by the
recent change in that office, whereby Col.
James A. Hoyt, formerly of the Intelli?
gencer, has assumed editorial charge of the
paper. Under the new management the
Register has been very much improved. It
contains a great deal more reading matter,
and the editorial department is conducted
with marked ability. The paper commends
itself to, and will doubtless receive, a liberal
patronage from our people.
The bondholders of the Pendlcton Manu?
facturing Company met at the Factory
building on last Friday to consider what
course they will pursue with legard to the
valuable property they have purchased, and,
after deliberating upon the subject, decided
to repair the buildings and machinery so as
to put it in first class running order. Work
will be begun on it Immediately, and it is
hoped to have it in full operation before a
great while. The repairing will be done
under the supervision of Messrs. T.
L. Reid, A. J. Sitton and Thos. Dickson,
which is a sufficient guarantee that the
work will be thorough and complete. The
further arrangements for operating the
factory will be made in due time.
The Presbyterian Church at this place has
granted its beloved pastor, Rev. D. E. Fri
ersou, a leave of absence for two weeks,
which he will spendsin Alabama, where he
has gone on a visit to relatives and friends.
Mr. Frierson is very popular here for his
many estimable virtues and his splendid
mental acquirements, which render him a
most agreeable speaker and pleasant com?
panion. He is a diligent laborer in the dis?
charge of his pastoral duties, and though
his services will be missed for the next two
Sabbaths in our midst, Mr. Frierson will no
doubt find the rest and recreation of his
visit not only pleasant but of benefit to bis
health and physical energies. We wish him
an agreeable sojourn.
The Williainston Female College Com?
mencement will come off on the 20th and
21st of this month, as will be seen by refer?
ence to our advertising columns. These
occasions are always of the most pleasant
character imaginable, and they invariably
attract a large attendance of the elite of the
surrounding country, besides numerous vis?
itors from a distance. The instruction im?
parted at this institution is of a very thor?
ough order, and the commencement exer?
cises are such as to show off to good advan?
tage the literary attainments of the gradu?
ates. No doubt many persons are enjoying
the anticipation of being present on the
coming occasion, which cannot fail, under
the management of Prof. Lander, to be a
grand success.
Among the many evils which are to flow
to this country from the Russio-Turkish
war. the greatest one we have heard predic?
ted is that we are to suffer from long-con?
tinued droughts during the progress of this
war, for the prognosticators of this calamity
say that the heavy cannonading along the
Turkish frontier will nttractall the moisture
to that region, leaving us to parch up over
here; and they point, in proof of their cor?
rectness, to the fact that while wc have been
so dry there have been the most unprecc
dented floods on the Danube. If these
prophecies be true, we had better request
the European belligerents to suspend opera?
tions until our ciups arc laid by, or perhaps
we can get up a war with Mexico, if neces?
sary, to secure a sufficient amount of mois?
ture for this continent.
We had the pleasure of meeting Rev.
James H. Thornwell, of Concord, N. C, in
Anderson on last Friday. He had been to
New Orleans in attendance upon the session
of the Southern Presbyterian General As?
sembly, and stopped in Anderson to Yisit
his relatives and friends here for a couple of
day3, as he was resuming home. He ex?
pects leaving about the middle of this month
for Edinburg, Scotland, whither he goes to
attend a grand international General Assem?
bly of his denomination, and also far the
purpose of recruiting his health by a short
rest from his ministerial labors. Mr. Thorn
well is a gentleman of the highest culture
and ability, who, though young, has attain?
ed a prominent position in the. ministry of
the Presbyterian Church. He has many
friends here who enjoyed his Yisit to An?
derson.
THE TEMPEEA'.tfCE EXC?BSION.
The Temperance Pic Nie Excursion to
Williamston on last Saturday was a very
great success. Throe coaches were filled
with the excursionists from Anderson, and
quite a number of persons were present who
went from the surrounding country by pri?
vate conveyance. The Mineral Spring,
with its beautiful park, afforded a most
pleasant location for enjoying a pic nie
frolic, and all present, old and young, ladies
and gentlemen, seemed to find pleasure in
the occasion. In the morning, excellent
addresses were delivered by Rev. S. Lander,
Dr. H. I. Epting and Col. E. M. Rucker
upon the subject of Temperance, after which
a basket dinner was generally partaken of
by all present. The Anderson Cornet Band
attended, and made splendid music for the
day, thereby, adding much to the pleasure
of all who were precent. We learn that
Anderson Division, under whose auspices
the excursion train ran, realized enough
from the sale of tickets to clear expenses,
and therefore we can pronounce the affair,
both socially and financially, a complete
success.
THE CIBCUIT COURT.
The May Term of Court closed on last
Thursday, and was principally noted for
the rapidity with which Judge Reed dis?
posed of the matters on the civil side of the
Court, and as the day upon which those
convicted of crimes and offences during the
term were sentenced.
Orr Lattimer, convicted of burglary, was
granted a new trial.
Jack Mance, con viei ?d of retailing with?
out license, was sentenced to one month's
imprisonment in jail, and twenty dollars
fine, besides the cost of the prosecution.
Colonel D. F. Maxwell, the colored lad
who plead guilty to the charge of grand
larceny, was sentenced to imprisonment in
the Penitentiary for one year.
H. Lawrence Smith, convicted of assault
and battery with intent to kill, was sen?
tenced to imprisonment in jail for one year,
with the privilege of paying a fine of one
hundred dollars, and [hereby remitting the
last six months of his, imprisonment.
Having transacted all the business ready
for the Court at this term, Judge Reed
closed the Court on Thursday evening, and
on Friday morning left for Charleston,
whither business called him.
JUDGE BEES AT ABBEVILLE.
The Press & Banner contains the following
account of a complimentary serenade given
Judge Reed during the iate term of the Ab?
beville Court:
The Abbeville Silver Cornet Band sere?
naded Judge Reed at the Central Hotel
Wednesday night. After playing several
pieces of excellent music the Judge was
loudly called for. He promptly responded
in a short and beautiful speech in which he
referred to "days of auld syne," when he
was Solicitor of this Circuit. He never
missed attending a Court at Abbeville from
1850 to 1868?eighteen years. In that time
and during his visits he had formed a high
opinion of the place, and a strong attach?
ment for the people of Abbeville county,
who have always been distinguished for
then: intelligence, education, culture, high
character and many virtues. They were
once the richest people in the State, and he
was lead to believe from the looks of this
beautiful town that the sons of those who
had passed off the stage of action possessed
much of their fathers' public spirit and en?
terprise. After paying a deserved tribute to
the Judges of the old regime he said that he
should take them for his guide, and would,
to the extent of his humble ability, seek to
emulate their virtues. He appreciated this
mark of attention and kindness, which was
given, he supposed, moi =; on account of the
performance of his duties in former years,
than for anything he had done at this ses?
sion of the Court. After again assuring
them of Iiis thanks he withdrew.
OUB BOOK TABLE.
The Westminster Review - for Ar-Rii..?
Contents?"Popular Fallacies concerning
the Functions of Government," "Courtship
and Marriage in France," "Charles Kings
ley," "Slavery in Africa," "Lord Macauley
as an Historian," "The Fr.ctory and Work?
shop Acts," "Russia," "Contemporary Lite?
rature." The first article tries to throw
some light on the answers to the questions,
"Why would democracy at present be dan?
gerous?" and "What is required to make it
safe?" "Courtship and Marriage in-France"
is an attempt to trace the development of a.
typical French girl, her early education as
preparatory to her future tstablishment, the
sort of husband which sb 3 is likely to meet,
the mode in which she will be wooed, and
her probable destiny as a wife. A short no?
tice of the life and letters of Charles Kings
Icy is followed by a long article on African
slaverj', describing the extent to. which tho
slave trade is carried on there, and the re?
sources that might be developed if the
natives could be persuaded to help Euro?
peans in making roads and cultivating the
soil. The article on M.xcaulay is highly
eulogistic, and filled with quotations from
bis history. It replies at some length to
Mr. Gladstone's strictures upon him. The
essay on Russia speaks of the mode of life
among the peasants, the emancipation of
the serfs and its effects, the rapid growth of
the country, and the present warlike aspect
of affairs. The periodicals reprinted by the
Leonard Scott Publishihg Co. (41 Barclay
Street, N. Y.) arc as follows : The London
Quarterly, Edinburgh, Westminster, and

Eclectic Magazine.?The June number
of the Eclectic completes' the twenty-fifth
volume (new scries) of the work, and the
index which it contains exhibits with a ful?
ness which the contents of a single number
cannot exhibit, the scope, and interest, and
value of this sterling magazine. It is a list
of upwards of ninety separate articles, not
one of which is dull, or trivial, or common?
place ; and of which not one.is of such tem?
porary interest as to have yet lost its yalue
for the reader. Besides these, there are rc-.
views of about forty new books, numerous
items of foreign literary news and gossip, a
copious resume of current achievements in
science and art, and many choice excerpts
from new books and the foreign periodicals.

lows : "On the Habits of Ants," by Sir John
Lubbock; "Lieut. Cameron's Journey
Across Africa;" "The French Army in

County Correspondence.
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE FENCE LAW.
Mr. Editor : Having seen the Act in re?
lation to the change in the Fence Law, and
as the time is short in which to get up the
petitions to the County Commissioners for.
submitting the question to the voters, be?
tween the 10th and 20th of August, as re?
quired, I would beg that some concert of
action be had among the friends of the
change, and that they get up petitions in
each township at once, and that they be
sent to the County Commissioners by the
19th inst., asking that it be voted on by the
20th of August. Otherwise, it cannot be
voted on until the 10th of December, which
would not give time for the law to go into
effect on the 1st of January next, as re?
quired. My reason for writing this card is,
that I was known to have taken quite an
interest in it when acted on before, and have
been appealed to from all parts of the
County to try and get it before the voters
again, and wish to have a fair expression
and vote on it.
I hereto append a form of petition that
may be used in each township :
To the Commissioners of Anderson County?
We, the undersigned tax-payers of
township, respectfully request your honora?
ble body, under the provisions of the recent
act to amend the fence law of this State, to
order an election in Anderson County, and
every township therein, on Monday, the
20th of August next.
Respectfully,
, B. F. CRAYTON.
FORE.
Mr. G. N. C. Boleman has given a month's
vacation in his school. Mr. W. A. Dickson
will also resume teaching July 2nd.Mr.
N. Wat. Grant had the misfortune a few
days ago to lose a valuable milch cow. He
had tied her near a ditch to graze, where
she became entangled in the rope, fell in the
ditch and was drowned.A long train of
wagons passed through the Fork last week
hauling corn from the Air Line Railroad to
Hartwell, Ga.Trial Justice Fant had two
busy days in his court last week. A great
number of persons were sued by Dr. Page,
who merchandized at Townvillc last year,
and consternation reigned supreme among
the delinquent debtors.The much re?
ferred to pic nie at Townville is now a thing
of the past. The elite of the community
had a jolly time at Silver Lake adjacent to
town, and supplemented the occasion by a
dance at Dr. Brown's residence near by on
the same evening.Shallow Ford Circuit
comprising four churches, two on either
side of Seneca River, has seemed a pasonage,
having purchased a house and lot contain?
ing fifteen acres for $100. The house was
formerly occupied by the toll-keeper of
Earle's bridge. This acquisition is very
commendable to the Circuit, and no doubt
will raise -t in the consideration of the Con?
ference authorties.
HOPEWELL.
Hot dry weather continues.Farmers
are putting on long faces. Some have quit
work.Worms have greatly damaged bot?
tom corn.Oats are almost an entire fail?
ure.The wheat crop, as compared with
last year, is considerably above an average.
.C. B. White has probably the best cot?
ton prospects.All second rate canines
have come to an untimely end lest they
should "go mad".The Sunday School
enjoyed xl pleasant meeting on the afternoon
of last Sunday. A lecture of no little in?
terest was delivered by Rev. B. Hays, which
was followed by the performance of several
pieces of music, led by Mr. Gray and Miss
Eskew. Several visitors favored the school
with their presence and smiles.The
morals of our section are excellent. There
are no reports of theft or pelfering, notwith?
standing the "hard times".The deport?
ment of the colored population, to say the
least, is praiseworthy.The Temperance
Order have expressly stamped their veto
upon the illicit whiskey traffic.The
Church, by recent decisions made, declares
even moderate drinking to be a crime
worthy of her highest indignation and pun?
ishment, that of positive excommunication.
CENTREVILLE MILLS.
Deep Creek Grange Hall is one mile from
Ccntreville Mills, in the opposite direction
from New Prospect Church. The Grange
by that name holds its meetings monthly at
this hall, and not at New Prospect Church,
as would be inferred from last week's locals.
The hall is also used for a school-house,
church, and other public purposes. Rev.
J. B. Adger, D. D., preaches twice a month
to attentive congregations in it. The Sub
bath school is certainly a live one, as it has
been in successful operation during the
whole winter, and the interest increases.
The farmers are looking for rain with anx?
iety. Their crops are clean and ready for it.
.The damage done the wheat crop by
the bail-storm one month ago was not so
great as imagined.The farmers are about
out of work until rain or harvest. Some of
the more industrious have tied their plow
lines together, and gone to measuring roads,
fixing for internal improvements.More

"What everybody says must be true."
The incontrovertible testimony offered by
those who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription induced the doctor to sell it
under a positive guarantee. Many ladies
have refrained from using it on account of
the general feeling of prejudice against ad?
vertised medicines. Let me ask a question.
Are you prejudiced against sewing ma?
chines because you have seen them adver?
tised ? or can you doubt the ingenuity and
skill required in their invention ? Again,
would you refuse to insure your house be?
cause the company advertised that they had
paid millions in losses, and yet had a capital
of several millions? Do such advertise?
ments shake your confidence, and create
prejudices ? Then why refuse to credit the
testimony of those who have found the
Favorite Prescription to be all that is
claimed for it in overcoming those aliments
peculiar to your sex ? Why submit to the
use of harsh, and perhaps caustic treatment,
thus aggravating your malady when relief
is guaranteed, and a positive, perfect, and
permanent euro has been effected in thou-'
sands of cases ?
Wabash Station, 111., October 24,1876.
R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.:
Dear Sir?Allow me to extend my most
sincere thanks to you for the great benefit
my wife has received from the use of your
Favorite Prescription. She suffered almost
intolerable before using your medicine, and
I have tried the skill of several physicians
but of no purpose. Finally, I thought I
would give the Favorite Prescription a trial'
and she is now sound and well.
Very gratefully yours,
D. A. HUNTER.

wards. With four Chairs, Rocking Chair, Table and Towel Racks, (complete suits of ten

A NEW COUNT TO BE MADE,
Which goes behind the Returning Board.
AFTER carefully aggregating the returns made by our customers for advancements
made during the years 1875-76, we find that a large number of the precincts have
not been heard from, and a great many others have only made partial returns. Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That if full and satisfactory returns are not made on or before the first
day of April, a summons will be filed in the SherifTs Office, requiring defaulters to show
cause why such returns have not been made.
Testimony will be admitted going behind the Returning Board, and if it appears that
the parties have fraudulently carried their Cotton to Greenville and other markets to
evade the payment of their Account, then Judgment will be obtained and an Execution
issued against their property, which will insure a fair count.
Zell's Ammoniatcu and Acid Phosphates on hand, and will be sold on the
following liberal terms: Cash, $50. Time, $60. Or one Ton for 500 lbs. Middling Cotton
delivered on the first of November next.
