THE INTELLIGENCER. f-OCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. The frost-bitten corn is rallying. Cotton planting has fairly begun in this County. Messrs. Todd & Hahn will soon begin the erection of a residence for Mr. J. M. Payne. ?Mr. J. N. Hembree, of Garvin township, has been appointed a Notary Public for this County. "True Manhood" is the subject of an essay to be read before Anderson Division this evening by H. G. Scudday, Esq. Maj. John B. Moore has promised to tell the readers of the Intellioencer next week something about his recent trip to Texas. The many friends of Mr. A. B. Towers will regret to learn that ho lias been con? fined to his bed by sickness for the past week. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Honor, of this State met in Ncwberry on Tuesday last. Anderson Lodge is represented by Mr. J. J. Baker. The demand for commercial fertilizers, say the agents, has never been as great since they came into use as it has been the pres? ent season. The exact number of liens filed in the office of the Clerk of the Court for this County up to Tuesday night last is 852, and still the good (?) work goes on. C. A. Reed, Agent, is selling a great many of these elegant hats rcceivt,! a few days since. He otTers great bargains in bats aud clothing. ^0t^L * The road brd of the Blue Ridge and An? derson Branch Railroads is to be relaid with new oak cross-ties, and otherwise improved. It will certainly not be done .before it is . needed. Anderson is represented in the annual meeting of the State Medical Association, which is in sossion in Charleston this week, by Dra. A. P. Wilhitc, M. L. Sharpc and W. H. Nardin. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next ? Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting: J. A. Brock; Poor House Committee, J. W. Todd, J. H. Clarke; Jail Committee, W. M. Wilcox, K. G. Scudday. A change for the advertisement of Messrs. Reed & Herrick was received too late for this issue. Before purchasing your planta? tion supplies be sure to give them a call. They sell at bottom figures. Saleday passed off more quietly than usual. A good many people were in town, considering the bad weather, but us there was nothing of interest on hand they at? tended to their business and returned home. The 2d Quarterly Meeting of Anderson Station will be held on next Saturday and Sunday. Rev. S. B. Jones, D. D., will preach Sunday morning and night. J. E. Carlisle, P. C. Mr. J. C. Keys has a little calf 17 months old that weighs 103G pounds, and a little pig 4 months old that weighs 140 pounds, and the latter is increasing in weight at the rate of two pounds per day. Who can beat it? Jerome Clark, a colored Democrat of Martin township, had his house and all of its contents destroyed by fire recently. His white noighbors, sympathizing with him in Iiis misfortune, have given him almost as much as he lost. The finest specimen of wheat that we have seen this year was brought to our office last week from the field of Mr. 0. H. P. Fant. It was over three feet high, and had a dark, rich color. Mr. Fant makes a success of every undertaking. If a subscriber to the Intelligences can afford to send sweet potatoes-all the way from Florida with which to pay bis sub? scription, what excuse is there for a man living in Anderson County who allows his subscription to remain unpaid ? A farmer of this County desires to know through the Ixtelligexcer what will pre? vent a mule from lolling its tongue out. Will some of our readers who can tell him please do so. It is a question that many a one would like to have satisfactorily an? swered. Dr. S. M. Orr and family arrived in An? derson on last Tuesday morning, after an absence of several months. Dr. Orr has just completed his course of lectures in the Medical College of Philadelphia, and re? turns to us a full fleged M. D. We bespeak for him a prosperous future. The mux who took the blanket from his bed with which to protect his pet peach tree from the pending freeze on Thursday night, and nearly froze himself for the need of it, now swears eternal vengeance against the man who assured him that such a course would insure him luscious peaches next August. Rev. W. H. Strickland has goiif to Au? gusta to assist in a special religious meeting in the Church of his brother, Rev. C. H. Strickland, and will be absent from his charge at this place for two weeks. His pulpit will be supplied on next Sunday by Rev. J. S. Murray and on the Sunday fol? lowing by Rev. H. B. Fant. The following officers were installed on Saturday, 5th inst, to serve Union Grove Division, No. 104, Sons of Temperance for the ensuing quarter: II. A. Landrcss, W. P.; R. A. Drake, W. A.; E. J. Kay, R. S.; Miss A. V. Burgess, A. R. S.; Miss I. M. Harris, F. S.; J. R. Burgess, Treas.; Mrs. S. S. Burgess, Chap.; A. L. Garrett, C. ; Willie Scott, A. C; Miss C. A. Broom, I. S.; Ira Broom, 0. S.; E. M. Snipes, P. W. P. Those of our country people who have more butter, eggs, poultry, potatoes, &c, than they can dispose of to advantage in their home markets will doubtless find it to their advantage to correspond with Mr. Geo. M. Coffin, dealer in country produce, Charleston, S. ft, whose advertisement ap? pears in another column. He is a reliable and trustworthy gentleman, and persons in dealing with him can expect honorable treatment. The Dime Reading at the residence of Rev. W. IL Strickland on last Friday evening was a very pleasant occasion. Messrs. J. L. Tribblc. J. S. Murray, jr., A. P. Johnstone and Miss Ella Bleckley each read highly en? tertaining and edifying articles from stand? ard literary works, while moat excellent music was furnished by a corps of ladies and gentlemen of superior musical talent. We hope that entertainments of a similar character may be frequently given in the future. They are both pleasant and instruc? tive to those who attend, while those who are called upon to read have an excellent opi>ortunity of cultivating tho art of read? ing aloud. Such entertainments should be encouraged. We have received the first number of the Home Circle, a neat little paper published in Charleston by Mrs. M. E. Britton, an intel? ligent and highly accomplished lady, and, judging from the contents of the first num? ber of her journalistic enterprise, one emi? nently worthy of .1 liberal patronage by our people. We wouid be glad to see the Hume Circle enlarged to five times Its present di? mensions, and in the home of every Caro? linian. The South is in need of justsueh en? terprises. Her people possess literary talent, if properly developed, equal to that of any people, and every effort made to develop it should be encouraged. We see no reason why a first-class literary journal should not succeed in the South as well as elsewhere. Our people must and will have good read? ing matter, and the demand for it increases every year, and wc believe they would pat? ronize a home paper, if properly conducted, as readily as those published North, many of which ore not worth the paper they are printed on. .We should patronize home in? dustries of every character, and particularly those that tend to cultivate, refine, elevate and purify the morals of our own people, even though it costs us, pecuniarily, a trifle more. The sudden change in the weather last week from moderately warm to bitter cold caused great destruction to the vegetables and fruit in this County. The freezes on Thursday and Friday nights last were almost equal to any of the past winter. The ground was frozen several inches deep, and frost und ice were as plentiiul .is in the dead of winter, the latter not thawing, even where fully exposed to the sun, until the middle of the day. The fruit trees were in full bloom, the gardens were far advanced, and we were congratulating ourselves upon the flattering prospects of early vegetables and an abundant fruit crop. It would be difficult to give an idea of the disappoint? ment occasioned our citizens when they went out into their gardens on Friday morning and found their beans, pptatoes, peaches, apples. Ac, wilting and blacken? ing from the effects of the previous night's freeze. The fruit crop is totally destroyed, and everything in the vegetable line suscep? tible of injury oy*"extremc cold has suffered the same fate. Wc are thankful to learn, however, that the small grain crops escaped without serious injury, if injured at all. Our misfortunes are never so serious that they could not be a great deal worse. The fence law is gradually Raining favor all over the State, and just now the farmers of Edgcficld are debating as to whether or not they should have its provisions extend? ed to their County. Unless Edgcficld has considerably more timber than most of the other Counties in the up-country, and a great deal more than it has any use for at present, or will be able to utilize in the fu? ture; unless her farmers have a great deal more time in which to split rails, build and repair fences, etc., than those of her sister counties, she will find the fence law a great blessing. Indeed, we believe every county in the Stale, with one or two exceptions, would find this law beneficial to the inter? ests of its citizens. Let those who doubt it come to Anderson, where it has been in operation only one year and three mouths, and see for themselves what it has done for our farmers. Hundreds?we mighc truth? fully say thousands?of acres of productive lands have been put in cultivation that had long since been thrown away simply be? cause it could not be fenced, and which was fast going to ruin; the quality of our stock is being improved while the quantity is be? ing reduced; the value of our farms are be? ing enhanced; the labor and money that was formerly put in long and unbroken lines of fencing is being devoted to perma? nent improvements in tho way of good bouses and comfortable and cheerful homes ?blessings that all mankind crave and long for?and in many other ways we are reap? ing inestimable benefits from its wholesome operation. Those who opposed its adoption in this County now see and recognize its wisdom, while those who favored it enjoy many benefits they never dreamed of ob? taining from it. The universal verdict is, the law is a most excellent one, and we would not be without it for any reasonable consideration. A Panther Also. Not satisfied with having our timid citi? zens frightened with the report of a veritable live bear ravaging the forests and prowling around generally on tho upper side of this County, the report now comes that bruin is to have an ally, in his war upon the nu tives, in the shape of a ferocious panther, of which our contemporary, the Greenville Advertiser, says: Wc received information a few days since that a genuine panther has been commit? ting depredations lately in the vicinity of Piedmont, nine miles below Greenville. It was first seen about three weeks ago, and annoys the public by killing pigs, chickens, ?Sc., and frightening horses, cattle, <fcc, in their pastures or stables. About ten days ago it followed several women a consid? erable distance on account of some fresh meat they were carrying. Several times it has been shot at, but so fur it bus escaped. People in the neighborhood are said to keep pretty close in doors after sun-down, and the presence of his puuthcrship prevents marauding expeditions by the colored gen? try. At last accounts the animal had crossed over into Anderson County. The Y. M. C. A. State Convention. The Fourth Annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of this State will convene in the Methodist Church at this place on Thursday, 21th of this month, und will be in session during the two days following. The number of delegates is not limited, and it is expected that every Association in the State will send a large delegation. The State Execu? tive Committee extend a cordial invitation to pastors of churches, professors and teach? ers in colleges and schools, and young men interested in Christian work, to be present and participate in the meeting. All such will have even- privilege, except voting, which belongs to the regular delegates. A number of prominent workers from other States, including a representative of the International Executive Committee of Young Men's Christian Asssciations of the United States and British Provinces, :ire expected to be present, and with the live, active and earnest body of young men from the State Associations, it is expected that the meeting will be one of unusual interest and profit to the cause in this State. The sessions of the Convention will be opened with appropriate religious services. In connection with the transaction of im? portant business, topics suitable to the oe casion, and which affect the welfare and prosperity of the order, will be discussed. The Association at this place is making every effort to render the stay of the dele? gates in our midst us pleasant us possible, and will extend a hearty welcome to every one who may come. The South Carolina und Greenville it Columbia Railroad* will pass delegates each way for one farw; the Charlotte, Columbia it Augusta and Wilmington, Columbia it Augusta Railroads fur th:ee cent* per mile each way.

A Disease that Wrecks the System. Every function is deranged, every nerve unstrung, every muscle and fibro weakened by fever and ague. It is, in fact, a disease which if unchecked, eventually wrecks the system, in all its types, in every phase, it is dangerous, destructive. Stupor, delirium, convulsions, often attend it, and cause swift dissolution. But when combattcd with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters its foothold in the system is dislodged, and every vestige of it eradicated. That benign anti-febrile specific and preventive ot the dreaded scourge is recognized not only within our own boundaries, but in tropic lands far bc vond them, where iiitcrniitteuts and remit? tents are fearfully prevalent, to be a suro antidote to the malarial poison and a relia? ble means of overcoming disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, of which a vitiu ted torrid atmosphere and brackish miasma tainted water lire extremely provocative.

Prussian was bred by Col. E. B. C. Cash, of Chesterfield, S. C, and the following description by him will be all that is necessary: Prussian was sired by Gen. York, he by Planet, and out of Albino. The dam of Prussian was bred by Wade Hampton, she was sired by Glcncoc, and her dam by Priam. The dam ol Prussian was full sister to the famous raee marc, Sallie Hampton. (Sec Turf Register and Itacing Calendar.) Every drop of blood that courses in Prussian's veins is inherited from the best stock in America, and I regard him as the best horse in the State. While on the turf, Prussian was remarkable for speed and repeating power. At Wilmington, N. C, he made (in mile heats) the fifth mile in the time of 1:44J, and ran a mile in Columbia, S. C, which was claimed by his friends to have been the fastest time ever made in the world on a } track. The last winter that I run Prussian, he won six races, and beat every horse that he ran against. As a stock horse, I can honestly say 1 have never seen a better one. His colts all resemble him and show ? blood, and, as far as I know, are very rapid trotters. E. B. C. CASH.
