To these mnch-to-be-admired qualities she added that greatest adornment of life, true piety, and for more than a year had been a devoted member of the Baptist Chnrch.

Brilliant Annual Commencement Ester* The commencchient exercises of the Car? olina Collegiate Institute- began on last Monday evening, and as usual called out a very large attendance of the ladies and gentlemen of Anderson and vicinity. This institution has during tbe past year been very prosperous under the guidance of a corps of experienced teachers, presided over by Prof. Ligon, who is so widely and fa? vorably known throughout upper Carolina ?s an excellent scholar and thorough in? structor. As our readers know, this insti? tution is founded upon the theory of a co? education of the sexes, and has for years stood at the head of institutions of this ch aracter in the State, and the deportment and progress of its students well meets the most ardent wishes of the advocates of the system. The exercises of Monday evening consisted of orations from the young gen? tlemen, and compositions from the young ladies, tbe following being the programme: Song. Prayer?Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland. Speech?L. Featherston. Subject: "In? dustry and Perseverance.'' 'Composition?Miss Annie McGrath. Sub? ject : ."Vanity of Pride." Composition?Miss H. Brown. Subject: "Nature's Wonders."

The exercises of Tuesday evening consis? ted of the rendition of the following pro? gramme: Music. Fairy Drama?"Sleeping Beauty." Music. "Faith, Hope and Charity." '?The Bee, The Clock and The Broom." , Music Dialogue?"Curing Betsy." The participants in these charades were, for tho most part, members of the interme? diate classes of the institution, and the manner in which they rendered their parts evinced thorough training in all of those acting, and considerable theatrical talent on the part of a portion of these amateurs. The programme for Wednesday night was as follows: Music Extracts by the Boys. Music Awarding Premiums. Music Dialogue?"Bolts and Bars." We regret that our limited space this week prevents a fuller mention of this in- j t eres ting commencement, but we will recur j to the subject and complete the account in our next issue TEMPERANCE ES BTALLATIOH.

DEATH OP MBS. MAST WATSON. This excellent lady, of whose death we ?hade a brief mention last week, was one of Ute oldest ladies in this portion of onr State, and her useful and exemplary life demands more than the short notice we were able to give at that time. Mrs. Watson was bora on the 4th of June, 1792, near Brush River Baptist Church, in Newberry County, in this State, and removed with her parents to this (then Pendleton) County about 1800. In 1810 she married Mr. David Watson, and she with her husband joined the Bap? tist Church at Mountain Creek in 1830. In August, 1843, Mr. Watson died, and she has since that time lived at the old homestead. Mrs. Watson raised eight chil? dren, all of whom were upright, intelligent and useful gentlemen and ladies. Four of her children, with some thirty grand-chil? dren and ten or more great-grand- children, now survive her, and mourn the departure of their aged relative. Mrs. Watson was a pious lady, and alwayB devoted much of her time and attention to her domestic relations, and her influence may be traced in the lives of her children. As a neighbor she was kind and considerate of those around, though for several years past her health has been too feeble for her to get about so as to enjoy company. Her memory will long bo cherished by a host of relatives and friends. GRAHD DIVISION, S. OF T.

The call of the roll being completed the Chairman announced the Convention ready ior business. On motion, Col. James A. Hoyt, former County Chairman, was invited to a scat on the floor of the Convention. When he came forward he was greeted with applause, but he declined to indulge in any remarks, as the Convention had important business before it. A motion was adopted that the Conven? tion proceed to the election of five delegates to the State Convention. The Chairman ruled, upon inquiry, that without special action delegates would be allowed to cast their own ballets and none other Whereupon a motion was adopted that delegations be allowed to fill any va? cancies that might occur in their number. The Chairman appointed the following tellers to conduct the election: G. F. Tolly, J. J. Gilmer and J. P. Smith. After a number of nominations had been made, a ballot was ordered and proceeded at once.

The Chairman brought to the attention of Convention the fact that at a recent meeting tbe Executive Committee by a unanimous vote passed a resolution requesting the County Convention to rescind its action by which subordinate Clubs were requested not to make nominations of candidates. A motion by J. P. Brown to reject the recommendation was tabled, and a motion by Capt. R. W. Simpson to adopt it was carried. The Chairman also presented a recom? mendation from the Executive Committee to the Convention "to rescind the resolution passed by the last Convention, authorizing Clubs organized after the organization of tbe present Executive Committee, to elect a member to the said Committee, and that hereafter no one shall be a member of the Executive Committee except he be elected by the Convention. Provided, That the Clubs to organized be allowed to nominate their members, subject to confirmation by the Convention." This recommendation was also adopted. A motion was unanimously adopted to invite Col, J. A. Hoyt to address the Con? vention, who then made a short address, in which he urged the Democracy of Anderson to be united in tbe approaching campaign, as there was danger ahead of us. He said that active efforts were being commenced at Washington by the Republicans to secure a majority of tbe Congressmen from South Carolina, and also that the Republicans in the lower counties of the State were going do their best to send Republican members and Senators to the State Legislature next fall. He closed by saying that he believed Anderson County would elect her ticket by four thousand majority. On motion, the thanks of the Convention were tendered to tbe Anderson Palmetto Band for their excellent services on this oc casion. The Chairman called the attention of the Convention to the fact that efforts are being made to revive and reorganize the Republi? can party in this County, and hoped the Democrats would be prepared to meet them on any and all occasions.

"Give us this day our daily bread" and good medicine to digest it, is both rovcrent and human. The human stomach and liver are fruitful sources of life's comforts; or, disordered and diseased, they tingle misery along every nerve and through every artery. The man or woman with good digestion see beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the routine of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at even imaginary objects. The world still needs two or three new kinds of medicine before death can be perfectly abol? ished ; but that many lives have been pro? longed, and many sufferers from Liver dis? ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been cured by Mebrell's Hepatijje, is no longer a doubt. It cures Headache in twenty min? utes, and there is no question but what it is the most wonderful discovery made in med? ical science. Those afflicted with Biliousness and Liver Complaint should use Mebrell's Hepatine. It can be had from Simpson, Reid & Co. ELECTION NOTICE.
