THE INETLLIGMCER. LOCAL, MATTERS._ BBISF MEHTI?S. Mr. J. H. Brock showed us samples of his -wheat and oats which were very fine, the latter being five feet high, and the former heavily headed. Mr. A. J. Sitton, of Pendleton, has pur? chased a fine new portable Steam Engine from Richard Tozer, of Columbia/ and named it "Hampton." Senator Cochran has*resigned as a mem? ber of the Town Council of Anderson. The Wardenship thus vacated will not at present be filled, as the election for a new Council occurs in. August. Messrs. Leak & Moss, keep constantly on hand the best brands of chewing and smok? ing tobacco, which they sell at the most iavorable prices. See advertisement else? where, and give them a call. A great deal of wheat has begun to sprout in consequence of the continued wet weather. The damage to this crop, the yield of which has been very large this year, will be very great, unless we have dry weather for a .short time. Rev. H. N. Hays will deliver an address upon Temperance at New Prospect Church ?on next Saturday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, "before.the New Prospect Division of the ;Sons of Temperance. The address will be public, and all are invited to attend. We publish on the first page of this issue the late Act passed by the Legislature rela? tive to fencing. This is a correct copy of | the Act, and every one shotild save it, for it will doubtless be the subject of a great deal of discussion, in this County in a very short time. Messrs. J. L. Byrum and S. S. Newell each brought samples of very fine wheat to this office last week, several stalks of which contained six grains of wheat to the mesh. The yield of wheat this , year is expected to surpass what has been attained in this sec? tion for many years past. Those persons who expect to engage in the "manufacture of Sorghum Molasses this season should read the advertisement of Messrs. Sullivan & Co., which appears else? where. By. purchasing a ''Victor Cane Mill" and "Cook Evaporator," yon will be prepared to make, with proper attention, au excellent article of molasses. J. Reese Fant, Esq., returned on last Monday evening via Charleston, by steamer from New York, whither he has been on a visit for the past three weeks. He is looking well, although he says that after a fair trial of rail and water travel he has decided most positively that steamboating is not condu- | cive of unalloyed pleasure, especially if the sea is a little rough, and hence he proposes in future to make his journeys by railroad. Mr. L. E. Campbell brought us on last Thursday a very fine squash for this season of the year. It measured nine inches in diameter,, and weighed three pounds and three-quarters, i Campbell says as this is off | year, he has to work a great deal harder than usual on his farm, to make up for time lost in the campaign of last year, and also to get sufficiently ahead to be prepared for the canvass of 1877. Mr. T. D. Kennedy, formerly local editor of the Intelligences, who has for the past year been in charge of the Blackville News, retired from that field of labor two weeks ago for more profitable pursuits. Mr. Ken? nedy is a gentleman of fine mind, and has done good work in the editorial harness. He has our best wishes for the success which his merits and attainments are,' we believe, destined to procure for him. We are indebted to Mr. Wm. Van Wyck, President of the Young. Men's Democratic Club of New York, for a copy of the New York Evening Express, containing an account of the great gathering at the festival of the Manhattan Club. Mr. Van Wyck is well known by many of our citizens, as he once lived in our midst, and we are glad to know that he has assumed a high position at the New York bar, and is quite prominent among the rising men of the "Empire City" of our nation. We had the pleasure of a call on yesterday from Mr. J. Baylis Lewis, formerly a mer? chant of this town, but at present with the firm of F. W. Wagener & Co., wholesale grocers, of Charleston, S. C. Mr. Lewis is .traveling for this reliable business house, and. will no doubt receive liberal orders from our merchants, both on account of his own popularity and on account of the high reputation the house he represents has al? ready established throughout the State. - The merchants of Anderson have signed an agreement to close their stores at half past six o'clock in the afternoon from the 20th day of June inst. to the first day of September next. Persons wishing to pur? chase goods or sell produce would do well to note this change, which went into opera? tion yesterday. It is intended to give the clerks, as well as the proprietors iu our bus? iness houses, a little recreation during the hot Summer weather, and is an arrange? ment which is sure to be found an agreeable one during the time specified. Our Townville correspondent announces the death of Dr. W. L. Broyles, a prominent and influential citizen of this County, re? siding in the Fork township. Dr. Broyles was a thorough going, upright and intelli? gent gentleman, possessed of a large degree of public spirit, and devoted to the advance? ment of all reforms, whether they be moral, social, political or agricultural. He was a younger brother of our former townsman, Maj. A. R. Broyles, and his death will be lamented by a very extensive circle of rela? tives and friends. On last Saturday afternoon Rev. W. H. Strickland administered the ordinance of Baptism, at the usual place in Rocky River, to seven converts who have united with the Baptist Church at this place during the in? teresting religious meeting now in progress, which gives promise of still further acquisi? tions to the church of which Mr. Strickland is pastor. Prayer-meeting services are held every afternoon at five o'clock, and services with a sermon are had every evening, be? ginning at haJf-past eight o'clock. The attendance is large, and the interest mani? fested by the congregation is very encour? aging. Our friend .'D. Sloan White, of the Fork township, sent us on Wednesday some de? licious early Beatrice peaches, gathered from a young orchard begun by him two or three years ago. Mr. White, though a young man, is one of our most progressive farmers, and is rapidly surrounding himself with many of the comforts and luxuries of life, which are too much neglected by our peo? ple, but for the production of which our County is so well adapted. Sloan not only excels in the culture of fruits, but we will guarantee that when his corn and cotton are gathered, he will be far in advance of our average farmers as to yield and quality. He has the nack of succeeding at what he undertakes. And now the newspapers tell us of a young lady in Maine who has sued a young gentleman of that State for a breach of promise to marry, and estimated the injury to her affections at the moderate sum of ten thousand dollars, a verdict for which amount she thinks would assuage her grief. The manner in which the promise was made was by the gentleman sending her a boquet of flowers, the emblems of which were, "I love you," and "Will you marry me?" The young lady engaged herself, she says, by returning him a flower, the emblem of which is "Yes." The young man would not, however, dance to the music of wed? ding bells, and the result is that the wrong of the poor girl is to be redressed by suit in Court. Gentlemen sending boquets to la? dies should be very careful not to send flowers having the wrong emblem, or they may fare the fate of the young gentleman ! from Maine. Dr. R. E. Thompson has for the past few years given a portion of his attention to ob? taining a good orchard, and has now one of the finest young orchards in the County. It contains a very large variety of fruit trees, and the Doctor gave us a practical illustration of his success in growing early peaches by bringing us on last Tuesday some large, perfect, well-ripened, luscious ones of the Early Beatrice variety. If all of our farmers would give a little more time and little better attention to fruits, they would find our climate and our soil as good for apples, peaches, grapes, plums and berries as any other in the world. To do this, however, they must, as Dr. Thompson has done, introduce new varieties, and not content themselves with planting scrub twigs upon the poorest hill tops of the farm. It could be made a very profitable industry if pursued at all generally. DEATH OF AN EXCELLENT L?DT. It is with deep regret that we perform the sad duty of chronicb'ng the death of Mrs. John E. Breazeale, formerly Miss Bellotte, of Pendleton, which occurred at the resi? dence of her husband in this place after an illness of a little more than one week. Mrs. Breazeale was an estimable lady, possessed of all those gentle and noble traits which endear a true woman to her relatives and friends. In all" of the relations of life she attracted by her quiet grace and domes? tic virtues the. friendship and adnuration of those with whom she was associated. A devoted wife, a fond and conscientious mother and a true friend, she leaves by her death a vacant seat around the hearthsjone which husband and children, relatives and friends will sadly mourn. Mrs. Breazeale at the time of her death was in the morning of her womanhood, with bright prospects of life before her; but the reaper came, and the happy home has been left desolate. It must, however, be a source of consolation to those who mourn her death to have the assurance that they weep not as those with? out hope, for the deceased was a pure, Chris? tian woman, whose death was calm and composed. A member of the Baptist Church, she was a conscientious and devoted Chris? tian, whose faith gave her power to bid adieu to her loved ones, and to meet death with a smile as remorseless and beautiful as that which invokes slumber as a rest for physical fatigue. The funeral services will take place at the Baptist Church to-day, .where many of the friends and acquaintances of the deceased will assemble to pay the saddest of earth's tributes to a departed friend. THE FENCE LAW. We are indebted to J. L. Tribble, Esq., Clerk of Board of County Comissioners of this County, for the information that the following Townships have presented peti? tions to the Commissioners for a vote upon the proposed fence law, having the number of signatures designated in each Township. Rock Mills, 81; Broadaway. 83; Honea Path, 75; Martin, 75; Hall, 75; Fork, 84; Pendleton, 75; Williaruston, 75; Garvin, 77; Belton, 86; Centerville; 82; Brushy Creek, 75; Varennes, Savannah and Corner have not as yet presented any petition, but we presume they will do so soon. The Commissioners will meet on July the third to consider the subject, and all peti? tions should be addressed to them by the time of the next meeting. GOOD FARMING. Under this head the Keowee Courier pub lishto the following compliment to a farmer of Anderson County: . We had the pleasure recently of visiting the farm of Mr. R. M. Morris, who fives near Sandy Springs, Anderson County. Mr. Morris gave us some' facts concerning his farming last year, which we take pleasure in publishing, in the hope that it may stim? ulate some of our Oconee farmers. In 1876 off of one acre of ground Mr. M. produced 32i bushels of wheat, weighing 62 pounds to the bushel. After the wheat was harvested he planted the same ground in corn, and gathered therefrom 26 bushels, weighing 60 Sounds to the bushel and 364 poudds of foti? er. The total value of this crop, including wheat, corn and fodder, was $95.50. The cost of production was $28, leaving a net profit off of one acre of $67.50. Upon anoth? er acre the same year he produced 12 bushels of wheat, 12 bushels of corn, 13 bushels of peas, 150 pounds of fodder and 600 pounds of pea vines, the total value of which was $57.50. The cost of production was $10, leaving a net profit of $47.50. Total profit off of two acres of land the same year $115. Mr. Morris also informed us that on the 25th of June he sowed broadcast eight acres of stubble land in speckled peas at the rate of U bushels to the acre, ana that he gathered therefrom nine bushels per acre. Can any of our Oconee farmers beat this? If they cm, we would be glad to hear from them. It beats cotton planting all to pieces. Mr. M.'s present crop of wheat, although injured considerably by the late hail storm, will make an abundant yield. One acre we think will turn out as much as 25 or 30 bushels. HYDROPHOBIA. The excitement which induced the enact? ment of the town ordinance in Anderson is not local, but general. This fearful disease is prevailing among dogs to an alarming extent all over the country; and in Abbe? ville County it seems to be worse than else? where, as will be seen from the following notices in the Abbeville papers, which go to show that our dog law is a good one, and should be rigidly enforced: For the last day or two a veritable mad dog has been creating a great deal of excite? ment and uneasiness in this community. Ten or a dozen persons have already been bitten. Parents would do well to keep their children in doors until something has been done to relieve the community of this terri? ble scourge. The distemper is spreading among the dogs about town, and the coun? cil should at once take active measures to subdue the excitement. Every dog found on the streets after next Saturday without a muzzle should be shot.?Medium. A mad dog or two about town has scared nearly all of our citizens out of their boots. Several negroes have been bitten by the rabid animal, and the number of canines that have been bitten is unknown. The town council have instructed the town marshal to shoot all stray dogs found on the streets, and nearly everybody has a pis? tol about his person to be used in case of emergency. It is unsafe for a dog to go nosing around our people now. When the mad dog reached Mr. Webb's school house yesterday morning the exer? cises' of that institution were immediately suspended, when teacher and pupils ad? journed to the rafters of that building. Nobody was bitten at this school.?Press and Banner. It is strange that so few good men consider it wicked to be dishonest in politics. The blackberry industry in Georgia, North Carolina, and the other Southern States is about to open and the local papers are show? ing what a bonanza is running to waste. The little town of Salem, N. C, containing only about 2,000 inhabitants, has shipped during three years over 3,000,000 pounds oi dried blackberries, for which nearly half a million dollars was received. This was equal to over 9,000 bales of cotton at 10 cents a pound; and is a resource certainly not to be despised. County CoiTespondence. HONSA PATH. Up to Friday las'; four liogs, one cow, one calf and three dog* bad gone mad and were killed. In addition to this, seven dogs have been killed which ;vere considered in a dan? gerous condition, ail having been bitten by the Phillips mad dog.The thieves have now turned loose on bee-gums. George Grcer lost the honey from two rich gums last week.S. N. Latimer has hoisted the black flag and declared war against sheep killing dogs.Wheat is reported sprouting and otherwise injuring from the rains of the past week.J. j. Shirley reports corn tassels, and another young farmer no coin tassels, but lots of molly-pop blossoms. The special train through from Charleston i j on Monday last, passed hero in the after? noon on time, and now that it is possible to run through in a day, it is hoped that it will be done regularly. SANDY SPEINGS. General Green has made his appearance among us, and unless our farmers make every edge cut he will supplant them, and eventually gain the victory.The crops, though small, are in fine condition. Since the showers they have been growing rapidly. .Sandy Springs can boast of as many, if not more, good, industrious and scientific farmers than any community in any county of the same age. They not only cultivate their lands thoroughly, but they comply with the requisite of Chemistry, which says, "put on as much as you take off." Doing this, the soil, instead of deteriorating in its yield, will increase year after year.The wheat crop is being harvested and threshed. Messrs. Dickson, PicLle and McElroy have started with their steam thresher.The exercises of Sandy Springs Academy closed on Friday, loth inst., and will be resumed the 16th of July.Rev. J. T. Attaway preached at Sandy Springs on last Sunday. Although very much indisposed physically, he delivered a sermon with the usual amount of zeal and earnestness. We wish Mr. Atta? way a speedy recovery to his former health and vigor. - LEBANON. The crops in this locality are improving very rapidly since the rain, and the prospect for Spring-sown oats A most flattering. Our forest trees, which were almost stripped of their leaves by the hail-storm, have put out a second growth, and once more have assumed their usual Summer appearance. .The question of fencing in our stock is being warmly discussed by all classes of our community. The white and the black alike take an interest in" the proposed change. Even our ladies are enthusiastic in their support of tbe measura. I believe that the change in our fence system would produce as beneficial a revolution in our agriculture as the inauguration of Hampton has done in our politics. It has been agreed upon by some of our citizens to discuss this ques? tion with the colored voters, and a meeting will take place on Saturday, the thirtieth day of this month, near Mountain Spring (colored) Baptist Church, where Messrs. Jeptha and William Harper, and perhaps others, will address them in favor of the change.Our debating society will discuss at its next meeting the question, "Were our forefathers justifiable in driving the Indians from this country ?" Great interest is taken in this society by our citizens. Its attendance is always good, and the debates are sharp and improving. FOSK. The past week was showery throughout, and craps are growing off rapidly.A combined effort is being made to get the threshermen to reduce the toll rate from the tenth to the fifteenth.Mr. Jordan Burns, of Townville, has an acre of corn now in silk and tassel, and also six acres of cotton conceded by all to he the finest in that vicinity.The pic nie at Double Springs Grange Hall is postponed until the 4th of July. The citizens v. ill do their utmost to make it an enjoyable occasion.Dr. Silas Heller, of Newberry, and lately graduated from Baltimore Medical College, is located temporarily in the Fork, where he proposes practicing his profession. The Doctor is a quite prepossessing young gentleman, and we wish him much success.Jonathan Pickerel, Esq., now nearly eighty years old, has never yet found it necessary to consult a doctor of physic. His eyesight is consid- ? erably impaired, but jtherwise he appears to be as hale as he was ten or fifteen years ago, and he is certainly as jovial as ever. Dr. William Lowndcs Broylcs, one of our best citizens and, we believe, a member of the State Grange, died at his home on last Thursday, 14th inst., in the 55th year of his age. A year or two ago he was attacked with a kind of throat affection which the ? skill of some of the best medical men in the land could not arrest, and he gradually grew worse until death terminated his suf? ferings and his life. This sad event be? reaves a wife and five bright, intellectual children, the eldest a son, not yet twenty one years old; but they have the tenderest sympathy and condolence of the entire community. Several hundred people, in? cluding about fifty colored persons, wit? nessed the interment ceremonies, thereby attesting their genuine respect for the de? ceased. The remains were buried at Smith Chapel, Methodist Church, of which the deceased was an orthodox member, the pastor, Rev. T. P. Phillips conducting the funeral services. Dr. Broyles possessed pos? itive traits of character, was strong in his likes, strong in his dislikes, strong in sup? porting what he believed to be right, and strong in denouncing what he believed to be wrong. There is no man without the faults of human nature,' but whatever his faults he carried in his hand even unto death the love and admiration of a host of friends, among whom he was a tower of strength, and the respect even of those who stood opposed to him in the struggle of life. Mb. Editok : As I saw in a former num. ber that your columns were open for dis? cussion in regard to the fence law, I take the liberty of giving my reasons for opposing the measure. First, it will not suit the poor man who has no help. In the first place, he has no watercourse; consequently he has to dig a well, and after a hard day's work he has to go half a mile to water and feed his stock all the year round. If b e has sheep or goats he must have two pastures, for if hogs and sheep are kept under one fence he will raise no lambs. Again, there will not be any? thing saved in the way of timber, for it will require as many rails to keep up a pasture fence as for the crop, as the fence will have to be sufficiently strong to keep anything from breaking through. Therefore, the rails must be entirely new and kept so, with as much repairing every year as our present plan requires. All this would be Yery hard on the poor man, who would have all or most of the work to do in addition to his usual routine of farm duty. It would suit the rich man, we are free to admit, as he can afford to hire all the help he may need, and can have as many pas? tures as he may please, and to him it would be a very nice thing. "Sot so with the poor man. Then again, there must be an addi? tional tax to keep up a line fence between Counties. Now, the poor man has to pay his part of this tax, when he has already as ?much as he can stand up to. Besides, we are hardly out of one political trouble be? fore some selfish plan is iirstigated to bring us into another kind, for it does not require much sagacity to perceive the selfishness of j this plan. Another reason why the law should not be passed is, that however strong the fence may be, we very frequently have winds that can blow them down; and sup? pose this occurs at night, all the stock is at once turned out and your crop destroyed be? fore day. These are things that cannot be prevented. Again, a farmer cannot prevent a thoroughfare being made through his crop unless he can keep a constant watch, which no farmer can do. Much more might be said against the law, but uough has been already said to convince any unselfish mind that it will operate against more persons than it will benefit. Lest it should be said the writer has his own selfish ends to gratify, he has as many and as good water-courses for pas? turage as he may have need, and therefore it would be as much benefit to the writer as to others; bu t he is not willing to make others sacrifice their interests for his indi? vidual benefit.' Neither is it reasonable or right that the many poor should be made to suffer so much inconvenience for the benefit of the few. VARENNES, Appletons' Journal for July gives con? siderable space to a novelette by Christian Reid, entitled "A "Work of Retribution." It is given complete, and accompanied by a good'illustration by Mr. Sheppard. The illustrated article is based upon Russell's volume, "The Prince of Wales' Tour in India," being devoted principally to the hunting adventures of the prince. Colonel Baker's "Turkey in Europe" affords the groundwork for another Eastern paper, in which there are some striking pictures of life and notable adventures in the Turkish provinces. Thero is a pleasing description of the Fame Islands, the "land of gulls and guillemots," off the east coast of England, which is spiced with a love-adventure. An amusing paper on "Osculation" gives the history, philosophy and poetry of kissing. This article alone must make the number a favorite with ladies. An entertaining paper, by Wirt Sikes, entitled "The True Story of Owen Glendower," is based upon researches and discoveries recently made at Cardiff, where Mr. Sikes is now United States con? sul. A very graphic and striking sketch, entitled "Lighting a Match," records some strange adventures in a German inn. Mr. H. M. Robinson describes in an entertain? ing manner the characteristics of the Black feet Indians, and the peculiar methods of trading with them. Th?e different papers illustrate such widely-diversified phases of life as those of India, Turkey, the Western Plains, Wales, Germany, the English sea? side, and America. There are poems, short articles mainly of a humorous character under the head of "Collectanea," and the editor's usual review of books, and com? ments on current topics. Will Carleton poetically called the negroes "jet jewelry.'' We thought they were moke pearls. In life it is difficult to say who does you the most mischief?enemies with the worst intentions, or friends with the best.

The following preamble and resolutions were passed by Double Springs Grange, No. 214, Patrons of Husbandry, at its latt meet? ing: WnEREAS, in the providence of God, our worthy brother, Dr. W. L.

Therefore, Resolved, That in the death of our brother we mourn the loss of a faithful Patron and an earnest worker in our cause. Our heart? felt sympathies are hereby tendered to our sister, the wife of the deceased, and the other members of his family, and they each of them, shall be remembered by us. Resolved, That the Grange has lost a use? ful member, the .church a zealous Christian, the poor a kind friend, the country an in? valuable citizen. Resolved, That our Hall shall be draped in mourning for thirty days, in token of respect and regard for our brother, and the members shall wear their usual badge of mourning for the same time. u Resolved, That these resolutions be pub? lished in the County paper, and a copy sent to the bereaved family, and tho Secretary place the same upon his book.

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 Sheriffs Office, requiring defaulters to shuw 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. Zcll's Ammoniatcd 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. WILSON & REED, No. 7 Granite Row. THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD. NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur -131 nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. O. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relics on its own merits, upon which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented hi Anderson and adjoining Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbcrt, Wilkcs and Oglethorpc in Georgia, ALONZO L. WELCH, Anderson, S. C. Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and put iu immediately. He means business. April 5, 1877 38 JOHN E.
