Monday last was a Yery cold day thether ; - ?tnometer standing in Anderson at 16 degrees, I Farejiheit This, however, did not compare j with the extreme cold of the North on that day. At Fort Fairfield, Maine, it was 42] degrees belo w zero, or 58 colder than in An? derson.' It was a very bitter day throughout the whole country. CoL James A. Hoyt, Chairman of the Democratic party of this County, will be in Anderson on Friday next, and will meet With the Executive Committee on that day. A full meeting of the committee is earnestly desired, in order that all the members may be informed upon public questions, and go to work properly and vigorously in the cause of re-organization. The first snow of the season fell on last. Thursday night It melted very rapidly on Friday, .and very little of it remained. After Friday night the weather wat intense? ly cold, and on Tuesday night a rain fell and froze, so that the'surface of the earth was covered-with ice, which rendered loco? motion difficult for pedestrians. It is now raining, and mud is the order of the day. The Cars well Institute will open its Spring (session on the 21st of this month. This Institute is well known to our people, and has done a great work in the cause of a higher education among the masses of our citizens. It is operated on the plan, of a co erflTcauon of the sexes, and is under the management of Rev. E. R. Carswell, who is a fine scholar and an experienced in? structor. Mr. Joseph N. By rum killed last week two shoots between the age of eight and nine months, one of which weighed 340 . pounds gross, and 300 net, and the other weighed 300 pounds gross, and 260 pounds net. These weights show what can be done by our people in 'the pork business, if they would only give a little of their time and attention to it Mr. Byrum has achieved the greatest success in this line of any one we have beard of. On last Thursday night some thief at? tempted to break into the residence of Dr. M. C. Parker, at Honea Path, for the' pur? pose of stealing, as it was known that the Doctor keeps his meat in one of the rooms of his house. He was absent with his fam? ily and the thief thought the house was un? occupied. Fortunately the Doctor had left an occupant, and the thief was frightened off. Strong suspicion rests upon a person who will be closely watched hereafter. The following officers were elected to serve Beaver Dam Division No. 105, Sons of Temperance, at their last meeting, and will be installed on next Saturday night 12th instant: J. M. Duckworth, W. P.; R. W. Shirley, W. A.; C. J. Drennan, R. S.; Miss Lou Rogers, A. R. 8.; Miss Fannie Dren? nan, F. 8.; J. 6. Rogers, T.; G. M. Rogers, Chap.; J.T.Rogers,C; R. W. Ballard, A. C; J. W.

Mr. Leak has rented the livery stable con? nected with the Waverly House, and is pre? pared to furnish horses and vehicles to all who may wish them. He also has removed his tobacco store to one of the rooms con? nected with the building, and will conduct it there for the future. He will be pleased to see his friends and customers at his new stand. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the National Bank of Anderson, helfe on Tuesday last the following board of dlrec / tors were chosen for the ensuing year: J. N. Brown, President; O. H. P. Fant, B. F. Cray ton, J. W. Norris, 8. Bleckley, Geo. W. ? Fant, J. A. Brock. This is one of the most successful and reliable Banks in the State, I and the continuance of the officers who I have made the Bank so successful in the I past is a sufficient guaranty of its continued prosperity. Messrs. Arnstein & Rose, the proprietors of the New York Cash Store, have built up for themselves one of the largest dry goods and notion trades in the up-country, and by their energy and consideration for the wants of their customers the popularity ot their store and the amount of their business Is on the increase. They are progressive men, and have shown that they know the value of printer's ink, and have not hoita ted using it to in rite the public to call and purchase their wants from them. We regret to learn that Dr. J. T. Norris, a former resident of this, place, who has a number of relatives and a great many friends in this County, died at his residence in Newberry County, whither he removed about 1300, on Sunday, the 4th instant, of consumption, with which he has been a sufferer for 8 long time. Dr. Norris was a pleasant and intelligent gentleman, who made friends wherever he went. The an? nouncement of his death will carry sorrow and regret to many of our leaders. Col. James Long, a well-known citizen of the upper portion of Anderson County, died at his residence on last Thursday right after an illness of a few hours. During the day of Thursday he had been up and going about, and wrote several letters, and felt as well as usual, with the exception of a very bad cough, which, it is supposed, caused the eruptien of some blood vessel internally, thereby causing his sudden death. His re ! mains were interred in the burying ground connected with Mt. Pisgah Church, in the presence of a large number of persons who had assembled to pay earth's last tribute to their departed neighbor. We would ask attention to the advertise? ment of Messrs. P. W. Wagener & Cof, j general commission merchants and whole? sale grocers in Charleston, 8. C. These I gentlemen are men of high character and fine busines attainments, and have become very justly popular throughout the State. I This is especially the case in the up-country, for whose interest they have shown very great consideration. We bespeak for them a very liberal patronage, and would remind .our readers that they are the agents in South Carolina for the popular State Orange fetili ! xer. Messrs. McCully & Taylor are their agents at this place for the sale of this fer tUizer. For the past three months the citizens of J Anderson have enjoyed very excellent ad? vantages for securing photographs of them? selves and friends. During this period the. Art Gallery of Mr. J. D. Maxwell has estab? lished a fine reputation in all the depart? ments of photography, and the pictures taken there compare favorably with those of any gallery in the State. Captain Wren is beyond a question the best artist in the up-country, and his patrons may confident? ly rely upon receiving satisfactory pictures. We have seen quite a number of the pic? tures taken at this gallery, and can unhesi? tatingly recommend it to the patronage of | our readers. The Broadaway Democratic Club met on^ last Saturday, and was largely attended by members from various parts of the town? ship. The. club decided not to elect new officers until its meeting on the second Sat? urday in February next. It passed resolu? tions favoring the continuance of the plan of Primary Elections for selecting nominees, and favored the abolition of two of the elec? tion precincts at Anderson. Court House. After the transaction of the business of the club, Messrs. John B. Moore, E. B. Murray and Samuel-Brown, were invited to address the club, ancr responded in addresses urging a thorough and vigorous reorganization of J all the clubs for the purpose of securing vic? tory in the coming canvass. The club had an enthusiastic meeting, which showed that Broadaway club may be relied upon to do its duty in the coming canvass. Me. EnrroB: The Centreville Democratic Club met at Cent re vi lie Mills December 26th; by call of the President, and proceeded to elect officers to serve the incoming cam? paign, as follows: President?A.

Wilson Reeves, William Davis, Jasper Hembree and Abram Bolt I The Club will meet the first Saturday in February, at which time an effort will be made to organize a rifle club. A full atten? dance is desired. JOHN L. JOLLY, Secretary. TRU8TEE8' MEETING. The Trustees of the different townships in Anderson County met in the School Commissioner's office on Monday, the 7th instant The following resolutions wore Resohed, That it shall be the duty of the Trustees of the different townships to make private contracts with all teachers, paying them so much per month, according to the grade of the teacher and the branches to be taught, exercising their own judgment in regard to the amount to be paid each teach? er, having an eye to the best interest of the entire township. Resolved, That the Trustees be instructed to sjgn school reports for their own town? ship and no other. Resolved, That it be left optional with the Trustees to open and close the public schools iu their respective townships, when they see proper. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in our County papers. W. P. COX, Secretary. THE FENCE LAW. . Mb. Editor : There seems to be considera? ble donbt in the minds of the people in re? gard to the new Fence Law, and numerous enquiries have been made as to when it will go into effect. We desire to state that the Commissioners have declared and published the result of the said election, and that the new Fence Law, according to the Act, and not of the Commissioners, took effect in those Townships adopting it the first day of j January, 1878. Parties who suffer their stock to run at large, do so at their own risk. The line fences will be built as soon as practicable, and the fact that they are not built is no license for parties to suffer their stock to run at large. O. H. P. FANT, J. C.

It is free from opium. Price 25 cents. A Gentle Hint. In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature?rain, wind and sunshine often intermingling in a single day?it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly fiom this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every town and village on this continent Sample bottles for trial, 10c., regular size, 75c. A Very Good Benson. \ The reason why only one sample bottle of Mlrekll's Hepatixe for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by onr Druggists, Simpson, Reid & Co., is be? cause of the enormous expense of import? ing the Hepatine into this country; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cares dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not bad a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cts. at Simpson, Reid & Co.'s Drug store. Three doses relieves any case of dys? pepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world. Regular size bot? tles, fifty doses, $1.00. A BSHLIANT SERMON AND A NEW SB* PABTTJRE?A NOVEL ?BE FOB A DOX OLOGY. Mr. Editor : On yeatcrday?the first Sun? day of the new year?we heard at a neigh? boring country church one of the finest sermons we have ever bad the privilege of listening to?one of those efforts which "strike oil," and form epochs- in one's church-going life. The occasion was pecu? liarly interesting. The minister, after two years of laborious and Heaven-sealed min? istry, had retired from the pastorate about twelve months since, and his place had been supplied by a worthy and excellent old brother, whose labors, though earnest and devoted, were comparatively unfruitful. On yesterday the former pastor, recalled by a large vote, resumed his pastoral charge. The services were opened by calling for long-metre doxology, which was according? ly sung; but the audience, in their aston? ishment, forgot to rise. This was followed by a characteristic prayer, which was not addressed to the audience, and the text was announced, Eph. v: 16?"Redeeming the time because the days are evil." i By way of clearing the field, the speaker J first told us what the text emphatically did not mean. That no such idea as that time I lost *br misemployed could ever be redeem-1 ed was intended to be conveyed. That time once lost was lost forever. That each day had its allotted and appropriate duties, its own work, its own sacrifices; which could not be put off or delayed without encroach- I ; ing upon the appointed work of another day, and reducing life to a succession of I miserable failures. That the despairing cry of England's dying man, "millions oft money for an inch of time," was but the j wail of remorse, for hours which were wast ed, for opportunities which had passed un heeded. He next explained the scriptural meaning of the word redeem to be precisely I what its etymological construction would suggest, viz: buying back. Time is not only "the stuff that life is made of," it is life itself, it is death. It is happiness or misery, pleasure or pain, success or failure, as we choose to make it. Moreover, time is not ours merely because we live in it?be- j cause we occupy it or breathe its atmos phere; but only as we seize upon and util- I ize it?fill it with good deeds, with noble I actions and worthy sacrifices. He told with j rare felicity the story of the learned and la- I borous.Grotins, who adopted as his motto, which he hung upon the walls of his study, j hora ruit; the meaning of which is, the hour rushes, and the moral Grotius must rush too to keep pace with the flying hours ?to seize upon , them and fill them with their appointed duties. The duties of the hour were briefly stated, and upon the divine injunction, "go ye into all the world," (ic, we thought the speaker was particularly sound. He applied it, not to the clergy, but to every particular cbris-t tian. Each of his Christian hearers was equally called with himself to preach the j gospel to the world's debased and sin enslaved millions. He who could not go or could not preach, could send some one in his place j and this, we take it, is the whole theory of mission work. Each several class J of his hearers was solemnly addressed, and earnestly exhorted to seize the passing hour and fill it with the service of God; and make each day fulfil its mission in develop ing, rounding up and perfecting the chris tian character. He addressed with affecting earnestness the yocnger members of the I church?a large number of whom he had with his own hand baptized and consecrated to Christ?and during this part of his dis course he declared that the answer, to the first question in the shorter catechism, "what is the chief end of man," embodied the grandest and noblest idea in the whole I realm of human literature. The answer is "To Globify God and to Enjoy Him Fob evxb." The second clause of the text, "because the days are evil," was then taken up, and the speaker appeared to find the greater evil and danger to the church in the fact that the times are apparently too good?the church enjoying too much ease and sailing in too quiet waters. Rest relaxes the mus? cles while labor hardens and tones them; adversity refines and purifies men as fire the gold; and opposition, so far from destroy? ing, only secures to truth a certain triumph. The great danger that now threatens the church of Christ is too mach prosperity, and above, all too much popularity. Reli- I gion is too respectable, and it is too fash? ionable to join the church. The effect of the efforts now being made to build up Zion is to fill the church with a fioodtide of dead-heads, who are scarcely fit for the world much less the church of God. The boundaries between the church and the world are becoming obliterated, practical piety is no longer necessary, vital godliness is almost a reproach, while wickedness J abounds in high places, vice is rampant, immorality defiant, and Satan perpetually on the war-path. Even men who once oc? cupied high places in the church are illus? trating the proverb of Peter: "The dog is turned to his own vomit again, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." Men who sit by day around the table of the Lord are found sitting by night around the tables of the grrrbling hells and drinking saloons. To remedy this evil he feared that the church required the discipline of suffering and sorrow, the chastening of adversity, the purification of fire. He had never felt it his duty to pray for persecution, but if nothing else would purify and vitalize God's church ?if nothing else would arouse it from its fatal security?if by no other means the J bride of Christ might be advanced and made meet for his coming?then God send perse? cution with all its fearful results and terri? ble consequences I The sermon closed with a masterly appli? cation of its doctrines to the circumstances surrounding us; and a most impressive and energetic exhortation. One of his illustra? tions struck the writer as singularly appro? priate?life being compared to "the ladder Jacob sriw," which reaches up to Heaven and down to Hell; and upon which each of us may climb up, round by round, even beyond the clouds which intervene between us and the city of our God; or down, step by step, to endless death and misery; but upon that ladder is no resting place?not a round of it will offer us a halting-place to sit still and do nothing. It must be either ascent or descent; either growth or retro? gression. It is of course impossible in such a sketch as this to do justice to the "thoughts that breathed and words that burned" of this most impressive sermon. Language would fail to describe the emotions that pictured themselves in the face and features of the Speaker, and we only dasire to furnish to those who heard the sermon a slight sketch which may serve to recall it in all its fresh? ness and vigor.

In small doses of one pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vig? orous health. Ayer's Pills have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained a world-wide reputation for their virtues. They correct dis? eased action in the several assimila? tive organs of the body, and are so composed that obstructions within their range can rarely withstand or evade them.

While they produce ' powerful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pain, when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing it from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody.
