Magruder t> Co., and does an extensive business throughout South Caro lina and Georgia. The Wheeler House, . Columbia, hos been re-opened under the management of Maj. R. N. Lawrance, who ia favorably known to the traveling public, and visitors to the State Fair will secure all the comforts of a first class hotel by stopping with him. 1 Mr. Andrew O. Norris bad a cow grazing in a field with an old dry well in it. For one week the animal eutirely disappeared, and was finally discovered in thc well un hurt, where for one week she had been ob scrving n strict fast, having hadhieither food nor water. The down train on the Blue Ridge Rail road met with a long delay by the engine running off of the truck on 'Wednesday morning us it was leaving Walhalla. No damage was done, bat tho train was again delayed until near night. It would bo a Ideating to thc Road und to tho public if tho . jiu schedule could be restored. Wo were mistaken last week in Raying that Col. Alexander had a cano mill and evaporator on exhibition at the late Ander son Fair. His did not arrive, and those shown were from the Blymyer Manufac turing Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, for which Messrs. Sullivan & Co. are agents at this place. At the railroad meeting held nt the Cars well Institute on last Thursday resolutions were adopted by the citizens of Hall Town allin pledging $20,000 by taxation to the building of the Anderson and Savannah Valley Railroad. Spasches were made b" Messrs. W. C. Brown. J. C. O. Featherstone E. M. Rucker and perhaps others upon this subject. Tho road is going to be built. The Chief Justice hos directed Judge J. P. lii^wi ta hold sn ertra tenn of Court for An dersen County, beginning on next Monday, for the trial of civil business, which requires no jury. In accordance with this, Judge Heed will begin Court on Monday morning and continue it for such a portion of the coming week as may be necessary to trans act the business upon the calendars. The Railroad meeting at Watt's 8tore on last Friday was poorly attended owing to another meeting which war held near by. It however, organised by electing Mr. A.'J. Watt, President, and Weston Hays, Sec retary. It iLi-n sd*-- yrned to nwt at Flat Rock on Tuesday, '.he 20th Inst, at ll o'clock a. m., ..rni reqneoted all the citizens of Va ren ne. Township and especially the ladies to be present. The Abbeville Fair lost week was a great success, though on Friday they bsd bad weather to contend with. The exhibition was highly creditable in all the departments, and especially in the Art and Needle and Fancy work Departments. The manage ment throughout was excellent, and reflected tlie highest credit upon the officers of the J Association and the people of Abbeville j County. Notwithstanding the fact that last Mon day was a very rainy disagreeable day, a j lanre crowd of persons visited Anderson, to be Tn town on S&?c?day. A large amount of real estate and personal property was Bold | at public outcry, and generally brought low prices. The usual amount of horse-swap ping was ohio indulged in, and the bar- I rooms seeroed to bo doing a prosperous bus- ! iness, but good order prevailed, and thc day passed oil" quietly. Cotton has been coming into Anderson faster than the railroad can remove it, and ot one time the platform was crowded, be sides a very large quantity of it was on the ground. The railroad would not receipt for lt, and consequently the merchants were very greatly Inconvenienced. They com plain very much at the course of the com pany in refusing as public carriers torecccive goods for transportation. President Hayes has proclaimed Thurs day, thc 20th inst., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer throughout the United States, t?o services have been or dered for the churches In Anderson up to this time. The day will doubtless be ob served throughout the whole country by such congregations os believe in the pro priety of public offlcera influencing the de votions of the cbnrches in the nation. Mrs. Elisabeth Rice, wife of Mr. A. E. Rice, deported this lifo on last Saturday morning, after a lingering iUness from con sumption. Mrs. Rice was an excellent lady, with many warm and devoted friends, who lament her untimely death, and mingle their sincerest sympathies with the husband and children who srrvive her. On Sunday last her remains \sere placed to rest In First Creek Church Yard in the presence of a large and sorrowing audience. For the past six weeks a large number of meteors have been noticed at night; and tills brings to mind the fact that tho day upon which tho most famous showers of *; ?js . itroconV il mystery have occurred is at hand. Lim nigh* oi the twelfth, or morning of tho thirteenth, of this month, between tho hour of three and day i3 the time at which these famous phenomena occurred, and as this fall has been very warm and late,^ if we should have cold Wea .tier about ?inl uat-~ thc ss&ditiOS! f??" - repetition of !l *?ui ?e favorable. Tho chancea for it are good enough at least to justify young men in colling upon their sweethearts ot that time. A BELICHTFUL S VENINO. The entertainment given tho people of Anderson on last Friday evening, by Sol ?miib Russell and his accomplished troups .of mcfikal artists, waa one of tho most ele gant aral fanned performances that we have .ever seen io this place from any company. The central figure of jjopula? interest is ?this company is of coureo Sol Smith Knasell, .whose imitative powers aro nnsurpasedby amy actor of whom wo know, and certainly JJC has as fine control of tho muscles of his fuce and thereby of his expression as any .juan can have. His iuipersonations were loudly applauded, ?nd prndnced long and ?onUnned rounds of hearty laughter. He aa simply indescribable. WitlThiai wars 31 Uses Dora Wiley, Anna Holbrook and Annie L'Estelle, and Messrs. Louis P. Pfau and Jules G. Lumbard, musicians of rare talent and vocal powers, whoso rendition of a number of songs was artistic and highly appreciated. The song, "The Rose Bush," by Mi?? Holbrook, and "The Sweet Bye and liye," from tba quartette wcro given, to tho perfeetenchantmi^tofUieaudfoce. Every one waa more than charmed by the entiro performance, and we have never seen a moro unostentatious nor a moro meritorious com pany than the performers in this troupe op warcd. There waa nothing objectionablo in the entertainment which was adapted to elevate os well pa amuse those in attend ance. SHOCKING MURDER. On last Saturday afternoon Coroner Her rick was notified tliat th?dr*d hn.i" "r ? colored wonjan named Tilda Norris bad bec:: discoverer i" " ?,?euj 01" woods some twelve miles southeast of Anderson, anU on Hunday morning he repaired to tie place and held au inquest over the body, which had certainly bc?n rnardered a? the skull bad beeii broken i i a fearful manner by two heavy blows, on . ou the forehead and thc other upon tne back of thehead. The body had avidently boen robbed of its clothlne nud removed from the place?? which th* murder o?ctirred and bad laid mere for one week. The Xhtlmony showed that the wo man and her husband, Cato Norris, had ou the previous Subbath to the inquest had a difficulty, and that ber husband had made threats against her. On that eveuii.g thev went out vtsitingnnd started homo together, bbc was never heard of afterwards; until her dead body was discovered iu a horrible condition. Her husband was present at the inquest, and gave bis testimony in apparent unconcern. The jury did not feel satisfied to present any one as the perpetrator of this cnine, and we are informed that ou Mou day Cato Norris disap|>earttd, and cannot now bo found. It is greatly to be regretted that he was not arrested, as everything points to lils guilt, and the perpetrator o? ruch a fiendish deed of barbarity as this fhould not huve been so tenderly dealt with. We hope that every effort will'bc made for his capture and trial. ,Sucb a crime is a dis grace to the civilization of any people, and every citizen ought to feel thut the good name of our County ha? been outraged by this foul deed. Nothing short of hanging ?he perpetrator ought to satisfy uny one. DARING ROBBERT. On hist Sabbath morning, while Mrs. M A. Morris and fumily were in attendance upon the services of tho Episcopal Church, her house in Anderson was entered and robbed of u watch, locket, purse of money und other valuables, amounting to several hundred dollars. Search was promptly in stituted, and in the afternoon Harry Miles and William Green, colored, were found play i ii); cards at the house of tho latter, and fresh paint waa discovered on the clothes of Miles, who had also been seen near Mrs. Morris' rosie" ?M?c in the morning. From the fact that her house hud been recently painted suspicion immediately rested upon Miles, who was arrested, and upon his woy to jail confessed thu crime, and told the officers they would find a oortion of tho stolen property in Green't house. The search was made ami the watch and some other articles were found as stated. Wm. Green wua then also u nested and lodged in jail. The locket und purse were put in a crack in the partition wall in the jail, and after some little time he also directed the officers where to lind thom, which was done. Miles, who was tried hero Mime time ago for stealing a watch from Mr. John Hastie, of Pendleton, is evidently the leading rob ber in this case, und is a very bad character. A bunch of thirty or forty keys, of all dis criptions, was found iii his ?locket, und somo of them were identified by citizens of An derson as keys they had lust. While Mile* ia the leader in this business, he evidently has confuderates, und but for his bud day's work on last Sunday, no doubt other out rages would soon have been committed in this community. The severest penalties of the law should bn indicted upon these ras cals, both to place them beyond the power of continuing their robberies, and to deter others from following their example.

OM Saturday, tho 27lh ult., the little town of Willianiston was overrun with wagons, men, horses, mules and oxen, and conse quently th? platform and Its surroundings were coverea to overflowing with cotton. According to actual count there were 127 bales of that staple brought in and sold told did I say ? Let me take that bock, and soy rather given away for guano. Alas! for our hard-working fanners, instead of enjoying the proceeds of their hard-earned labor themselves and paying for rations with which they have been supplied in or der to make this cotton, to bo compelled to send it to those guano companies. It would be far better for them to make moro fertil izers at home and use less from abroad. In the afternoon of the samo day there was an auction of gooda held at tho store of Mr. C. E. Horton, whero many bargains were mudo, both good and bad.Monday, the 29th, there waa an exhibition or show in town, in which were seen many tricks, eights, etc.. etc, from thtj sizo of a small pistol to that of ? cannon. Tho moil interesting part of the exhibition, per haps, was the ascension of a large balloon, followed in its ferial flight by"? negro man to such a height that hie apparently looked no largor thun a squlnel when he began to descend.

A goodly number of grungers aud cit izens were present to witness this Grong? Festival. Each granger brought something of tho products of lils form and garden for exhibition.

There wero other questions proposed and discussed, at the close of which Mr. W. W.

Most of lt goes to the Guano Cos. It would be a good Idea if the fanners could make more guano at home and depend less upon those Northern or foreign made. Messrs.
