Bilton, of Pendleton, has pur 4-hu?cd a fine new portable Steam Engine from Wellard Toser, of Colombia, and named it "Hawpton." Senator Cochran has reslgued a? ii mern. 1>cr of the Town Council of Anderson. The V.'ardenahip thus va?stcd will not at present be filled, as the election for a new Council occurs in August. Messrs. Le?ik & Moss, keep constantly on hand the best brande of chewing aud smok ing tobacco, which they sell at the most farorsble prices. See advertisement else where, and give them a call. A groat deal of wheat hos begun to sprout in consequence of thc continued wot. weather. The damage to this crop, the yield bf which has been very largo this year, will bo very L"-cat, unless we have dry weather for a short time. Hov. H. N. Hays will deliver an address ui>oo Temperance at New Prospect Church on next Saturday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, before the New Prospect Division of the Sons of Temperance. The address will bc public, and all are invited to attend. We publish on tho first page of this issue tho late Act passed by tho Legislature rela tive to fencing. This is a correct copy of the Act, and every one should {?ave it, for it will doubtless bo the subject of a great deal uf discussion in this County in n very short time. j Messrs. J. L. Byrum and fi. S. Nowell tacit brought samples of very fine wheat to tins office last week, several stalks of which contained six groins of wheat to thc mesh. Thc yield of wheat this year is expected to surpass what has beer attained in th's sec tion for many years past. Those persons who expect to engngo 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 j Mill" and "Cook Evaporator," you will be prepared to make, with proper attention, an excellent article of molasses. J. Reese Pant, Esq., returned on last Monday evening via Clinrlcston, by steamer from New York, whither ho has been on a visit for thc 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 unal'Myed pleasure, especially if thc gea is a little rough, and hence he proposes in future to malic his journeys by railroad. Mr. L. E. Campbell brought us on last Thursday a very fine Bquash for this season of thc year. It measured nine inches iu diameter, and weighed three pounds and tliree-quaiiers. Campbell says as this is off' year, ho has to work a great deal harder than usual on his farra, to make up for time lost in the campaign of last year, and also to get suiuciently ahead to Ix; prepared for tho canvass of 1877. Mr. T. D. Kcnniyly, formerly local edit of the iKTELLiOEMcsn, who has for thc past year been in charge of the Blackville New?, 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. lie luis our best wishes for thc success which hi? merits and attainments ore, wo believ, destined to procure for him. We aro Indebted to Mr. Wm. Van Wyck, President of thc Young Men's Democratic Club of New York, for a copy of tho New York Evening Exprcu, containing an account of tho great gathering at the festival of the Manhattan Club. Mr. Van Wyck is well known by immy of our citizens, as he once '!v>d in our midst, and we are glad to know that ho has assumed a high position at thc New York bar, and Is quite prominent among the rising men of thc "Empire City" of our nation." We had the pleasure of a call on yesterday from Mr. J. Baylis Lewis, formerly a mor chanl of this town, but-ut present wi*;. Hie firm of F. W. Wageuer & Co., wholesale grocers, of Charleston, S. C. Mr. LCW?B is traveling for thia rehab:? 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 thc 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'clook in flic afternoon from tho 30th day of Juno 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 yeaterduv. It ia intended to give tho clerks, as well us tho proprietors in our bus iness houses, a little recreation during the hot Summer weather, and ls an arrange ment which is sure to ho found an sgrccr.'olo one during thc time specified. Our Townvllle correspondent announces thc death of Dr. W. L. Broyles, a prominent and in?ueiitial citizen of this County, re .idingin the Fork township. Dr. Broyles was a thorough going, upright and intelli gent gentleman, possessed of a largo degree of public upirit, and devoted to the advance ment of all reforms, whether they bo moral, social, political or agricultural. He was a younger brother of our former townsman, Maj. A. P.. Broyles, and his death will be lamented by a very extensive circle of rela tives and frlonds. .'. . U Willa >;.v Vi .' .-.

Thompson has for thc 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 largo variety of fruit trees, and thc Doctor gare 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 furmers would give a little more time and little better atteution to fruits, they would find our cl'matc 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 eurah twig?i upon the poorest hill tops of tho farm. It could bc made a very profitable industry if pursued at all generally. DEATH OF AIT EXCELLENT LADY. It ia with deep regret that wo perform the sad duty of chronicling the death of Mrs. John E. Breazeale, rbrmorly Miss Bellott?, of Pendleton, which occurred at the resi dence of her husband in this pince after an illness of a little more thais one week. Mrs. Brcazenlc was an estimable lady, possessed of all those gentle and noolo traits which endear a true woman to her relatives and friends. In all of the relations of life shu attracted by her quiet grace and domes tic virtues thc friendship and admiration ol those with whom she was associated. A devotod wife, a fond and conscientious mother and a true friend, she leaves by her death a vacant seat around the hearthstone which husband and children, relatives and frieniL, wi!', sadly mourn. Mrs. Brcazcalc ut the time of her death was in thc morning of her womanhood, with bright prospects ol lifo before her ; hnt HIP reaper came, anti thc happy home has been left desolate. It must, however, ho a ?ource of consol?t ?OG to thoso who mourn her death to have tin assurance that they weep not as those with out hope, for the deceased was a pure, chris flan woman, whose death was calm ant I composed. Amembcrof thc Baptist Church she was a conscientious and devoted chris tian, whoso faith gavo her power to bit adieu to her loved ones, and to meet deatl with a smile as remorseless and beautiful a that which invokes slumber as a rest fo physical fatigue. The funeral services will take place nt tin Baptist Church to-day, Where many of th friends and acquaintances of tho doceasc< will assemble to pay the saddest of earth' tributes to a departed friend.

Under this head tho Acaire Oouricr pu fishes thc following compliment to a farm of Anderson County : We had tho pleasure recently of visith the far?i of Mr. R. M.

In 18 off of ono acre of ground Mr. M. produc 32J bushels of wheat, weighing 02 pounds tho bushel. After thc wheat was harvest he planted tho samo ground in corn, ai gnthercd therefrom 2C ouBhcla, weighing Sounds to the bushr.' and 864 pounds of fe er. Tho total value of this crop, includl wheat, corn and fodder, was $05.50. T cost of production was $28, leaving a r profit off of one acre of $07.50. Upon anol cr acre thc samo year he produced 12 bush of wheat, 12 bushels of ecru, 13 bushels peas, 150 pounds of fodder and OOO pour of pea vines, thc total value of which v $57.50. Tho cost of production was $ leaving a net profit of $47.50.

The crops in this locality arc improving very rapidly since the rain, and the prospect for Spring-sown oat* bf most nattering. Our forest trees, widen were almost stripped of their leaves by the hail-storm, have put out a sccoud growth, and once more have assumed their usual Kummer appearance. .The question of fencing In our ?tock is being warmly discussed hy all classes of our community. Thc white and the black alike take au interest in thc proposed change. Even our ladies are enthusiastic in their support of the measure. I believe that the change in our fence sj-stcm would produce as beneficial a revolution in our agriculture as thc inauguration of Hampton has done lu our polities. Ii. hos been agreed upon by some of our citizens to dlseuss this qucs- j tion with thc colored voters, ?nd u meeting J will take place on Saturday, tho thirtieth day of this month, near Mountain Spring (colored) Baptist Church, where Messrs.

Dr. William Lowndes Broylcs, ono of our best citizens and, wc believe, a member of the State Grange, died at his home on last Thursday, 14th inst., in thc 55th year of Iiis age. A year or two ago ho was attacked with a kind of throat affection which thc skill of some of the best medical men in tho land could not arrest, and he gradually grew worso until death terminated his suf ferings nnd his life, lids Bad eyent be reaves a wife and five bright, intellectual children, tho eldest a son, not yet twenty one years old ; but they have tho tenderest sympathy and condolence of thc entire community. Several hundred people, In cluding about fifty colored persons, wit nessed thc interment ceremonies, thereby attesting their genuine respect for the de ceased. Thc remains were buried at Snrth Chapel, Methodist Church, of which tho deceased was an orthodox member, tho pastor, Rev. T. P. Phillips conducting the funeral services. Dr. Broyles possessed pos itive traita of character, was strong In lils likes, strong in Ids dislikes, strong in sup porting what he believed to bo right, and strong in denouncing what ho believed to bo wrong. There is no man without thc faults of human nature, but whatever his faults ho carried in his hand even unto death tho love and admiration ot a host of friendB, among whom he Was a tower of strength, and thc respect even of thoso who stood opposed to him in thc struggle of life. MK. EniTon : As I saw in n former tram ber lin? your columns were open for dis cussion in regard to the fence law, I take the liberty of giving my reasons for opposing tho measure. ' First, it will not i - it thc poor man who has uo help. In tho first place, he has no water course ; consequently hu has to dig a wolli and after a hard day's work ho has to go half a mlle to water and feed his stock all tho year round. If he has sheep or goats he must have two pastures, for If hogs and .ft 1.?^.? .....I.... '--CC bc "il? T?'iSC no lambs. Again, there will not be any thing eaved in the way of timber, for it will require as many rails to keep up a pasturo fence as for tho crop? as tiie fence will have tobe sufficiently strong ? keep anything from breaking through. Therefore, tho ralis must bo entirely new and kept so, with as much repairing every ya?? UJ our present plan reqr Ires. Ali Ibis would bo very hard on tho poor man, who would have all or mest of tiio work to do in addition to bU usual routine of farm duty. It would Snit ?Zij? rich man, wo are flee to admit, aa ho can afford to hire nil the help ho may need, and can havo as many pas tures aa he may please, and to him it would bo a very nice thing. Not so with tho poor mon. Then again, there must bc ap addi tional tax to keep up n line fence between Counties. Now, thc vv*>r man has to pay hts part of this tax, when ho hos already as ?much as he can stand up to. Besides, wc aro hardly out of ono political trouble be fore BOiuo ; illili plan Is Instigated io bring p"wgyff!g*??q^ . j'i'jj u* into pother kimi, for it <lp?a ne* refuljo much 'sagacity' to*" perceive tho sclfislih->w of [ this plan'.. Another reason why tho law ' should net ho passed is, that however strong the fence may be, wo very frequently have winda that CHU blow them down ; and sup li?se this occurs at night, all the stock is at j once turned out and your crop destroyed be fore day. These aro things that cannot be ' prevented. Again, a furnier cannot prevent a thoroughfare being mr.de through hi? crop unless ho can keep a constant watch, which no larmer can do. . Much more might IM said against tho law, but enough has been already said to convince any unselfish mind that lt will operate against moro persons t han lt will benefit. Lest it should be said the writer has his own selfish ends to pri?fy, I.W LAS as many and aa good water-courses for pas turage cs he may have need, and therefor?' it would be as much benefit to tho writer as to others ; but he is not willing to make others sacrifico their interests foi his Indi vidual benefit." Neither is lt reasonable or right that the uiauy poor should be made to suffer so much Inconvenience for tho benefit of the few. VARENNES. AITLKTONS' JUUBNAL for July gives con siderable space to a novelette by Christian Reid, entitled "A Work of R?tribution." It is given complete, and accompanied by a good' illustration by Mr. 8hq>pard. The illustrated article is b.ised upon Russell's volume, "Thc Prince of Wales' Tour in India," being devoted principally to thc hunting adventures of the prince. Colonel Baker's "Turkey bi Europe" affords tho groundwork for another Eastern paper, in which there aro somo striking pictures of life and notsble udventurcs in the Turkish provinces. There ls a pleasing description of iite Fame Islands, tho "land of gulls and guillemots," off the east coast of England, which ls spiced with a love-adventure. Au 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 Bikes, entitled "Tho True Story of Owen Glendower," is based upon researches and discoveries recently made at Cardiff, where Mr. Sikcs 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 tho characteristics of thc Black feet Indians, and the peculiar methods of trading with them. These different popers illustrate such widely-diversified phases of life as those of India, Turkey, tho Western Plains, Wales, Germany, thc English sea side, and America. There ore poems, short articles mainly of n humorous character under the bend of "Collectanea," and tim editor's usual review of book*, and com ments on current topics.
