THE IltfTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. . iu:ir.f wentiox. Many of our farmers have commenced planting corn. Good farm mules are in demand in this section at an advanced price. Tha lien business is as big a thing in this ^9fJunty this year as usual. Th?> fertilizer trade has beon exceedingly lively dnring the pa3t two weeks. The Baptist Courier, after this week, will be published at Greenville, S. C. The first fresh-water fish of the season were brought to town on Tuesday last. The fruit trees are putting, out and things ? *teu*fcilly are beginning to assume a spring 7 appearance. 7e had a regular summer shower, ac rcompaniod by thunder and lightning, on Tuesday afternoon. . The weather for the past two weeks has been unusually warm, and fires havo been almost dispensed with. _ Rev. W. H. Strickland, of Anderson, and Rev. I. W. Wingo, of Pendleton, will ex? change pulpits on next Sunday. Col. L. E. Campbell has just completed a neat and convenient dwelling on his place five miles northeast of Anderson. Maj. A. R. Broyles, formerly of Anderson, but now of Oconee County, spent soveml days of this week in our midst. The colored people say that the "Good Samaritan" man was sent put by the U. S. Government. That's characteristic credu? lity. v. The pastors of the Baptist and Methodist Chnrches of this placo will henceforth al? ternate in holding services on Sunday evenings. The County Commi?sioners are having the exterior of the Court House painted, which will, when completed, improve its appearance very much. In consequence of the appearance in our midst of the Globe Comedy Company, the Anderson Theatrical Company have post? poned their play until a future day. Messrs. R. A. Reid, of Anderson, and S. M. Holland, of the Fork, who have been attending tho Charleston Medical College, retnrrfod home on last Friday evening. Tho Keowee Courier says that some people have altogether an erroneou/idea of what is meant by a free press. It doesn't mean that you are to take a newspaper and not pay for it. "We are requested to give notice that the | Brushy Creek Singing Association will hold its noxt quarterly session atFairview church on the. foanh Saturday and Sunday follow? ing in this month. "Tha Anderson Division of the Sons of | Temperance numbers two hundred." Thero are more sober people at Anderson than porhaps any place of its size in South Caro? lina.?Baptist Courier. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct tho afternoon meeting, 31. G. Scudday; Poor House Committee, L. P. Smith, W. W. Keys; Jail Committee, J. X. Brown, B. Frank Mauldin. C. A. Reed, Agent, has just received an immense stock of men's and boys' hats. AH the latest spring styles, and the largest variety ever kept in Anderson. Prices lower than ever. 1 The Pickens Sentinel advises the farmers of that County who have corn to sell not to dispose of ir. yot, but to hold it for higher prices. This is very good airice, but whon tho cash is offered it will not likely amount to much. The Globe Comedy Company gave inter? esting entertainments in Masonic Hall on ?last Monday and Tuesday eveuings. On Monday evening they had a full hous?, but the attendance- was much smaller on Tues? day evening. Messrs. Bleckloy, Brown & Co. make an announcment in this i?su? of the IXTBLLX cehcsb that will make glad the hearts of | many of our readers. This looks like a return to tho old time customs of our daddies. Sac their advertisement. Gen. Humphreys has received ore hun? dred sabre? for distribution among the offi? cers of tho 11th Brigade. The Colonels of | the Eastern and Western Regiments will each receive fifty, and will make the distri? bution as they deem best. Tho Baptist Courier says that it will be sixty-one years in May since Rev. Thomas I Dawson, of Pendleton, tho oldest white Baptist minister in the State, entered tho service of the old Triennial Convention as | missionary to tho Cherokoo Indians. Wo call attention to the advertisement of | Mr. L. H. Seel, which appears elsewhere. The steam cooker for which ho is agent is a Tory recent invention, and is very highly recommended by a number of the house? keepers of Anderson. Give it a trial. Tho State Convention of the Y. M. C. A. will meet at this place next month, and in all probability will be largely attended by j delegates from every section of the State. The Association at this place held a meeting in Temperance Hall on yesterday afternoon to take the proper steps in making the nec? essary arrangements for the meeting. Tho Council aro considering the question of requiring all parties who furnish fres.li meats to our citizens to dispose of the same I through the market house. This would put a ?top to tho street venders of beef, but as to whether it would give satisfaction to our citizens generally is a question. Such an ordinance was in force several years ago, but as it gave such general diisotisfaction it -was repealed. Mr. A. Lesser, one of our enterprising young merchants, ha" just returned from the North with a large and carefully selected stock of dry goods, notions, hoots and shoes, A'o., which he is prepared to sell at very low figures for the cash. The public generally, and the Ladies particularly, will find it to their interest to give the "Paris Store" a call before purchasing their spring and summer <Jry goods. Mr. Lessor is de:er mincd not to be out done in furnishing a good article at the very lowest cash figure. Jlead his advertisement. Mr. Tucker W. May, who was probably the oldest citizen of this County, died on last Fridsy afternoon at a very advanced .age. Many years ago the family record of Mr. May was destroyed by firo, and hence his precise ago was not known, but from a relative comparison with men whoso ages aro known, and who have been dead for many years, it is estimated in such manner to amount almost to a certainty that he was about one hundred years old. He leaves a large family of relatives and friends to regret his departure. "The heart bowed down by grief nnd care" is too often wretched, merely because the body is diseased. Dr. Harte: s Liver Pills, and Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will, in most cases, re-invigorate the frame and banish gloomy thoughts.

There was no insult inten? ded for the people of Abbeville, and the Medium's good sense, if it has any, ought to have prevented it from getting into a rage over it. Our contemporary's wrath seems to bo drawn forth principally by the state? ment that Abbeville has "seven bar-rooms and four churches, and ofthat they seem to be proud." The information upon which this paragraph was based was obtained from the Medium's own eolumns, and while the latter portion of the sentence might have justified a retort there was no occasion for any feeling about it. Tho Medium has also fallen into its usual bad taste by pitching into the people of Anderson because it does not like what the Ihtelligescer said. The people of this town arc not responsible for our remarks, and if our contemporary had given the subject a moment's thought no such policy would have been resorted to. .We have no harsh words for the Medium, though it pronounces us a "heathen," nor have we any censure for the people of Ab? beville. They are as a class intelligent, ro fined and much to be admired. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Thomas W. Russell, which occurred at his residence at Easley, in Pickens County, one day last week, after a lingering illness of consumption. Mr. Russell was a son of Mnj. Thomas H. Russell, of this County, and was a highly respected and influential citizen of the community in which he lived, and his death will ba lamented by a large circle of warm friends in Pickens County as well as by an extensive family connec? tion in this County. He moved from his homo in the Sinbtown section to Easley soon after the completion of the Air Line Railroad, where he has since been merchan? dising. His manly bearing and eminent business qualifications won for him the astoem and confidence of all with whom he came in contact, lie leaves a wifo and several children. Anderson M.-.rket Itcports.

One rarely sees a lean specimen of any kind of livo stock in these parts now-a days, and the explanation is found in the fact that we arc enjoying the advantages of the new fence law.The Presbyterians have transplanted a variety of young shade trees to their Church lot, it having been entirely denuded of the native growth. The colored woman charged with tho burn? ing of Bill Parker's gin house in January, and who wus required to leave the State, ventured back to her old haunts a few days ago apparently to stay, but she was prompt? ly sent to Anderson jail.Mr. J. P. Brown got his hands badly burned last week in extinguishing the fire from tho clothes of a little girl who was attending his school. She was not injured, however.On the night of tho 2d inst., as Mr. E. P. Earle, accompanied by a little son of the late Col. Hwrison, was nearing his home he de? scried a 'possum sitting composedly upon a fence at the roadside, and alighted to dis? patch it, leaving the little boy in the buggy. But the proceeding frightened the horse, which dashed off in a full run. The little fellow was dashed to the ground, tho con? cussion knocking him senseless, and caus? ing a severe wound on the head, tho crani? um being laid bare for several inches. The sufferer was delirious through tho night. Dr. Brown, of this place was called, and the little fellow is now recovering. "But," some will mentally inquire, "did he kill the 'possum ?" To such we say, he did. D. Savannah Valley Railroad Meeting. Pursuant to tho call of President Llti mer, a meeting of the corporators of the Savannah Valley Railroad convened in Ma? sonic Hall at Lowndesville on the 6th of March. The President called the meeting to order. A call of the roll showed the fol? lowing corporators present, to wit: W. W. Humphreys, D. L. Hall, Wm. O'Briant, J. M. Latimer, Sr., J. T. Barnes, J. B. Moseley, J. P. Young, T. Baker, Gcorgp S. Burditt, J. B. Leroy, S. S. Baker, Dr. J. T. Baskins, A. J. Cliukscales and W. B. Clinkscales. The Secretary, Maj. E. B. Murray, being absent, W. W. Humphreys was elected Secretary pro tern. Tho minutes of the Inst meeting and the amended charter wore read. President Latimer, in staling the objects of the meeting, alluded to the obstacles in the original eb.irter. which prevented pro? gress towards securing subscriptions to the capital stock of tho Road, and which were happily removed, in tho amended charter. He slated the object of the meeting to bo I mainly for the purpose of conference and consultation, looking to tho adoption* of such measures as would seeure an early commencement of the great work. Capt. J. T. Barnes made an earnest and spirited address, and was followed by W. W. Humphreys, J. M. Latimer and others, all the speeches breathing a resolute de? termination to build the Road at all haz? ards. Tho following resolutions were then adop? ted unanimously and with enthusiasm : -Hcsohed, That the construction of the Savunnah Valley Railroad is not only prac? ticable, but a necessity to the proper devol-. Opmeut ol the fertile country to be traversed by it, alfordiiig as it will ea-y ingress and egress, and promising swift and cheap transit to the valuable products of a section now remote 1'roin all railroad facilities. Resolved, That the cost of constructing this Koad, under the plan now adopted, in? volving an increase of taxation for throe years only by the towns and townshipi im? mediately interested, will be insignificant compared with the many advantages to I flow from its speet'y completion. Resolved, That not until the last rail is laid, the last spike driven, and the first shrill whistle of the engine is heard pro? claiming the completion of this Road, will we abate our zeal or sutler our energies to relax in this great enterprise Following the adoption of the resolutions was a free eoiifercntv and interchange of opinions among the corporators and tho friends of the Road present, developing a resolute determination to go forward with tho enterprise and press it to an speedy a completion as possiblu. The meeting -then adjourned to meet on the first Wednesday in May next, the 7th oi'.tho month, at l,owndosville, nt which time it is hoped every corporator will be present, r.s the details of submitting the question of subscriptions to the towns and townships will be arranged.

In accordance with the resolution of tho Saludn Baptist Sunday School Institute, to organize a Colored Sunday School Institute for the benefit of colored ministers, Sunday School Superintendents and teachers of the Third Union District, a meeting was held at Mountain Creek Church on the 23th February and 1st and 2d of March, and or? ganized by electing Elder J. It. Enrle Mod? erator and D. S. Watson Secretary. The Moderator, after explaining the object of the meeting, announced the body ready for business. Elder J. 8. Murray being absent, Elder W. H. Strickland was requested to address the meeting on "Our duty towards assisting the colored Sunday schools," which he did in a brief but well-timed discourse, recount? ing the devotion of thocolorcd people while in slavery, and their deportment from thence nntil the present time, after which Messrs. L. P. Smith and Reuben Burrcss followed with appropriate remarks. By invitation, Elders F. Morris and \V. Morris, colored, spoke in reference to tho condition of their Sunday scfiBbls, and showed their great need of assistance in tho work. Adjourned. second day's proceedings. After appropriate religious excreises, tho meeting was opened by the Moderator. Elder I. W. Wingo being absent, Elder J. R. Earle was requested to open tho subject of "How to teach in the Sunday School" for discussion. He was followed by Messrs. G. F. Tolly and L. P. Smith, whose ad? dresses were replete with practical instruc? tions. Another opportunity was offered the col? ored people to address the meeting, when Messrs. Warren Morris and Jack Hum? phreys spoke, stating, at some length, the difficulties they had to contend with as leaders of an uneducated people, and asking advice upon special points. The next subject taken up was "The duty of Pastor? to Sunday Schools," which was opened by Elder J. R. Earle, in a clear and impressive manner, after which Elder D. Hugood, Rob't Acger, and Mtssrs. Jack Humphreys and Julius Thomas, colored, participated in the discussion. In the afternoon the subject, "Qualifica? tion of Teachers," was discussed by Elder J. C. Hudson, who occupied thecntircafter noon. His remarks were fraught with in? structive counsel peculiarly adapted to the colored people, and elicited profound atten? tion. Adjourned. third day's proceedings?sunday. Interesting sermons on the subject of missions by Elders J. II. Earle and W. II. Strickland. ?
