LOCAL NEWS. W. W. KEYS, Local Editor. BRIEF MENTION. We need a town hall, and that badly. Good Middling cotton is worth 10i cents. Mas-sey-tew-sits is the way Blind Tom spells it. Henry Hill will be executed in Hartwell, ' Ga., to-morrow. Messrs. Moss & Brown are erecting a com? modious ware-house near the depot. The weather is nearly as slow settling as are some of onr delinquent subscribers. The usual fourth-Sunday service at Mid? way chnrch will not be held next Sunday.

Mr. John Kimmerer, of Wurtemburg, South Germany, has about concluded to settle a colony of Germans in Oconee county. Dr. Diwer has just received a Geiser grain thresher which he wiU keep for exhibiting to those wishing to purchase such a ma? chine. The Episcopal chnrch was tastily deco? rated on Sunday last, and the Easter ser? vices were attended by large numbers of all denominations. The County Treasurer gives notice in this issue that he will be prepared to collect dur? ing the month, of May the second install? ment of the railroad taxes. Some of our farmers have begun planting cotton, while others are holding back, as? serting that it is useless to deposit the seeds until the ground gets warmer. Capt, John W. Daniels will conduct the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon. No appointment for the Poor House has been made, though it will be attended. Mr. B. F. Price, of Hall township, be? lieves In growing barley for food in the green state for stock, and showed us a cam? ple last week of a very fine patch on his farm.. "Father, how do editors get in free a; all the shows?" "Well, sonny, as a gensral rule, they give five dollars* worth of adver? tising for a twenty-five cent ticket." True as gospel. "It is said that a long upper lip indicates a certain degree of good nature."?Exchange. And a long tongue a considerable degree of trouble and mischief-making in the neigh? borhood. Mr. J. D. Maxwell and Dr. R. F. Divver have gone to Yorkville as representatives of the Lodge of Knights of Honor at this place to the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the State. The' decision of Judge Kershaw on the fence law in Oconee county has been filed. In an elaborate opinion he sustains the validity of the Act of the Legislature, and dismisses the appeal. St George Mavart, in his book on "The Cat," describes a South American cat which "indulges in no midnight cries." We long for the introduction of the South American cat into our neighborhood. While Mr. B. D. Hall, of Hall township, was burning off a new ground on Tuesday of last week, the top of a burning tree fell and struck him on the head and shoulders, inflicting very painful and serious injuries. Mr. F. G. Brown has put up a steam saw mill at Pendleton, and will now be able to help supply the increasing demand for lumber at this place.

The union meeting of the 2nd District of the Saluda Association will be held with J the Belton church on Saturday before the fifth Sunday in May. Rev. W. H. King will preach the introductory sermon and Rev. R. W. Bnrts the missionary sermon. It is an error to suppose that only editon and reporters supply news worth reading: The skillful advertiser furnishes a good share of it, and if there are any readers who fail to look over the advertising columns of their paper, they miss a great deal of infor? mation that would prove valuable to them.. Mr. J. D. Maxwell returned home on Thursday last from a visit to Florida, where he has considerable'real estate, which h* has been looking after. He was very favor? ably impressed with some sections of the State, and is of the opinion that those who would make judicious investments in land;; in that State could make it pay. Our ever vigilant Chief.of Police was ob? served standing at a wagon the other day in which were a few chickens, and some were of the opinion that he had been sta? tioned there by the countryman to whom the fowls belonged to guard his property; but it was a mistake, as he was there simply to keep down a fuss between the chicken hungry citizens who were trying to pur? chase. "Is it wise to spend three or four dollars in fencing to keep out one dollar's worth of poor, scrubby stock?" is a question the Kershaw Qazetle propounds to the people of that county, who are still burdened with the old fence law. Let them enquire of the farmers of Anderson county as to the work? ings of the system of fencing up the stock before answering, if they are in doubt as to how to answer. H. G. Scudday, Esq., has been honored with an invitation, which has been accep? ted, to deliver the anniversary address be? fore the Young Men's Christian Associa? tion of Erskinc College, at their annual meeting on the 26th of May next. Gaines will have to face about three hundred crit? icising students, about one-half of them young ladies, but he will doubtless acquit himself with credit. We have received an invitation from the committee of arrangements to attend the public ceremonies of unveiling the Merao ? rial Column to the victors of the battle of Gowpens, erected by the old thirteen States and the State of Tennessee, which will take place at Spartanbnrg on the 11th of May. Addresses on the occasion will be delivered by representative men from New England, Middle and Southern States. A committee of delinquent railroad tax? payers of Uclton township waited upon the County Treasurer this werk and informed him that they were ready lor him to serve his executions, and were anxious for him to do so in time for the issue to be deter? mined by the Court at its next session for this county. They propose to fight the matter to its bitter end, and do not desire to be relieved of the penalty or any other cost resulting from their action. Persons having real estate for sale ran have the same advertised to the country at large without charge by Col. A. Pope, the General Ticket Agent of the Clyde lines of railroads by giving a description of it to I Rev. H. B. Fant, the depot agent at this I place. The Clyde Company is endeavoring I to induce immigrants to settle in the sec- I tions of country travorsed by their roads, I and this is one of the means employed to I carry ont their object. I Up to Tuesday, 12th instant, over five I thousand dollars bad been subscribed in I Abbeville village for the grading of the I Atlantic and French Broad Valley Railroad I through that county. One firm subscribed I one thousand, and several citizens sub- j scribed five hundred dollars each. Since I that time, we understand, several thousand I moro has been added to the subscription by citizens of both Abbeville and Due West. | "How many Atlantas is South Carolina I to have? Anderson has been looking for ward to that honor when all the railroads projected and in contemplation are com pie-1 ted; and now Florence steps to the front I and says she is going to be, some time in the future, the Atlanta of the State. Well, we hope they may both get to be Atlantas, I and that Columbia may become the Lowell I of the South, and then we will consider 'honors easy.'"? Columbia Yeoman. j As will be seen by reference to an adver-1 tisement elsewhere, the Board of Directors I of the Savannah Valley Railroad Company have authorized the County Treasurer to I remit the penalty on all delinquent taxes due the Company, and the Treasurer of the Company is instructed to refund the j amounts of penalties already paid by de- I linquents, upon the presentation of a cer? tificate from the County Treasurer stating I the amount We presume similar instruc- j tions have been given the Treasurer of Ab- j beville county. The advertisement should j have appeared last week, but was inadver- I tantly left out. The discussion of the question of Probi- I bition, which is now attracting so much at? tention all over the State, is opened in the Intelligencer this week by Mr. W. W. I Brown, of Williamston. We believe the discussion of the question in the public j journals will do good, and for that reason cheerfully give publicity to the views of j our friend; and if there are others who feel disposed to take a hand in the ventila- j tion of the matter, pur columns are open to I them so long as they keep within proper j limits and abstain from personalities of an injurious nature. It is a subject on which I there is a great deal to be said on both sides, and the debatants should keep cool and pre- J serve their equilibrium. I [ An important railroad meeting is now being held at Statesville, N. C, the object of which is the consideration of the ques? tion of extending the Virginia Midland j Road, to the South Atlantic coast. It is generally believed the Syndicate by which j this Road is controlled is looking towards j Port Royal for an outlet, and that it is their purpose to extend the Virginia Midland to that port at an early day. Regarding the j meeting as one of importance to this sec tion, the Town Council on Monday last j appointed Gen. W. W. Humphreys and j Maj. E. B. Murray to represent our inter- J est, and that evening they left for States? ville. They will return home to-morrow. I The twin bed spring is one of the best things introduced in this section in a long time, and everybody who can spare five dollars should buy a set from the gentle-, j men now canvassing the town. When it is J considered that people spend at least one third of their lives in bed, and that refresh- I ing sleep gives tone to the system and vigor to the mind, it does seem that beds should I be made as comfortable as possible. Many I I a man has worn himself out on hard and I ; uncomfortable beds, when a small sum of j money would have not only secured him j ' comfort, but would also have prolonged his J ' life by years. Read the advertisement of H. S. Lipscomb & Co., and then invest five dollars in a set of their springs, and you I will never regret it. J "Men should be elected to our Legisla- j ture who will bind themselves to vote for J the abolishment of the Lien Law, which J has done more to retard the agricultural prosper' ty of this State than anything else. Down with the Lien Law! Wipe it out, j until not a vestige remains!" It is a curse! J Thousands of honest, industrious farmers J have been bankrupted by it, and the fruits of its loathsome hand are seen and felt in every trade, profession and industry j throughout the State."?Southern Live Stock Journal. And then what would the poor farmers do who are not able to pay cash for j supplies with which to keep their families and stock alive while they made another j crop ? How can you force men to pay cash I for goods when they haven't the cash to pay with 1 A committee of ladies, of which Mrs. Harriet S. Blaine, of Maine, is chairman, has appealed to the people of the United States for assistance for the sufferers from I the terrible earthquake at Chios. The churches of the whole country are called I upon to lake collections at once, and for- j ward the amounts to Riggs & Co., Bankers, j Washington, D. C. Will the churches of Anderson respond? The appeal says: ''The situation admits of no delay. The suffer? ing is present and pressing. No communi- J ty could recover, from so mysterious and terrible a blow except through the slow lapse of time. The neighboring Powers have rushed to Chios with instant aid, but the shocked and sorrowful people must be nurtured through many a long day back to comfort and confidence, to hope and home- I joy, to moral strength and self-dependence." j Some idea of the extent of the suffering in I Chios can be gained from an article in an- j other column. j It appears from the proceedings of a meeting published in the Abbeville Medium I of last week that there is dissatisfaction I among the citizens of Calhoun township, in Abbeville county, over the location of the Savannah Valley Railroad, and in order to settle the question as to whether the location is being made in accordance with the charter and by-laws of the Company, the President is requested by the meeting to call meetings of the taxpayers along the line in the different townships to elect dele? gates to attend the annual meeting in May, when the action of the Directors will he passed upon by the stockholders. In com? menting upon the action of the taxpayers in Calhoun township, the Medium makes the following very sensible remarks : '"This dissatisfaction has arisen too late to do any good. The exact line should have been marked out before any taxes were collected, so that persons who voted could have done so advisedly. No public enterprise of this kind should ever be commenced unless the cost was first known. The exact route could have been surveyed and marked out as well before as after a tax bad been forced from ihe people. 'Business is business,' and a successful roud can only be built on business principles, and this is never done by starting at the wrong end." | Blind Tom. The visit of Blind Tom to our town was jin event that wi'l long be remembered by our citizens with pleasure and wonderment combined. Everybody had heard of the wonderful performances of Blind Tom, but they had not realized what a real wonder he was until they beheld him with their own eyes and listened with their own cars to his enrapturing and soul-inspiring melo? dies. He performed in McCnlly's Hall to a densely crowded house on Saturday night, and for more than two hours delighted his audience with both instrumental and vocal music, interspersed with humorous recita? tions and exhibitions of his remarkable memory and acuteness of hearing. He was in charge of Mr. Bethunc, a son of his former owner, who lived near Colum? bus, Ga., where Tom was born and raised. Just now the following extracts from a biography of Tom will be perused with in? terest, and will give our readers an idea of his general character and history : Tom was born blind, and, learning noth? ing from sight, manifested in his early in? fancy so entire a want of intellect as to in? duce the belief that he was idiotic as well as blind. His imbecility and helplessness secured for him the sympathy and care of the family in his infancy; when he began to walk and run about the yard, his amus? ing peculiarities made him a pet. His first manifestation of interest in anything was his fondness for sounds ; the first indication of capacity, his power of imitating them. Musical sounds exerted a controlling influ? ence over him; but all sounds, from the soft breathings of the flute to the harsh grating of the corn-sheller, appeared to afford bim exquisite enjoyment. He talked earlier than other children; and he talked no "baby talk." He uttered, his words clearly and distinctly, attaching no meaning to them, but seeming to con? sider them merely sounds, which he imi? tated, as he did all others that he heard. Whatever words were addressed to him, whether in the form of a question, a com? mand, a request, o* ns matter of informa? tion, he simply repeated in the tones in which they had been uttered; and would repeat not only them, but conversations he had heard?sometimes for hours at a time; yet, long after he was in possession of a vocabulary, with which, if he had known its use, he might have sustained a respect? able conversation upon any ordinary topic, he never attempted to express by words an idea, a feeling or a want. His wants he ex? pressed by a whine, which those about him bad to interpret as best they could. * ? ? ? a a * He exhibited his wonderful musical pow? ers before he was two years old. When the young misses of the family sat on the steps of an evening, and sang, Tom would come around and sing with them. One of them one evening said to her father: "Pa, Tom sings beautifully, aud he don't have to learn any tunes; he knows them all; for as soon as we begin to sing, he sings right along with us." Very soon she said : "He sings fine seconds to anything we sing." His voice was then strong, soft and melo? dious. Just before be had completed his second year, he had the whooping-cough, from the effects of which his voice under? went an entire change: it became and con? tinued for years exceedingly rough and harsh, though it did not affect the taste or correctness of his singing. He was a little less than four years of age whem a piano was brought to the house. The first note that, was sounded, of course, brought him up. He was permitted to in? dulge his curiosity by running his fingers over and smelling the keys, and was then taken out of the parlor. As long as any one was playing he was contented to stay in the yard, and dance and caper to the music; but the moment it ceased, having discovered whence the sounds proceeded, and how they were produced, he was anxious to get to the instrument to continue them. Ono night the parlor and the piano had been left open, his mother had neglected to fasten her door, and he had escaped without her knowledge. Before day the young ladies awoke, and, to their astonishment, heard Tom playing one of their pieces. He con? tinued to play until the family at the usual time arose, and gathered around him to witness and wonder at his performance, which, though necessarily very imperfect, was marvelously strange; for, notwith? standing this was his first known effort at a tune, he played with both hands, and used the black as well as the white keys. After awhile Tie was : 'lowed free access to the piano, am* playcu everything he had heard. He soon mastered all of that, and commenced composing for himself. He would sit at- the piano for hours, playing over the pieces he had heard, then go out, and run and jump about the yard a little while, comeback and play something of his own. Asked what it was, he replied, "It is what the wind said to me," or "what the birds said to me," or "what the trees said to me," or what something else said to him. No doubt what he was playing was con? nected, in his mind, with some sound or combination of sounds proceeding from those things, and not unfrequently the rep? resentation was so good as to render the similarity clear to others. ? ? ? ? O 8 ? It has been stated that Tom was born blind; in his infancy and for years, the pupils of his eyes were as white and appa? rently a? inanimate as those of a dead fish. But nature pointed out to him a remedy which gradually relieved him from total darkness, and in process of time conferred upon him, to a limited extent, the blessings of vision. When he was three or four years of ago, it was observed that he passed most of his time with his face upturned to the sun, as if gazing intently upon it, occasionally passing his hand back and forth with a rapid motion before his eyes; that was soon followed by thrusting his fingers into his eyes with a force which appeared to be almost sufficient to expel the eye-balls from their sockets; from this he proceeded to digging into one of them with sticks, until the blood would run down his face. All this must have been pleasant to him, or he would not have done it; and there is no doubt that he is indebted to the stimulus thus applied to his eyes for the measure of sight he now enjoys. When five or six years of age, a small, comparatively clear speck appeared in on? of nis eyes, and it was discovered that within a very small space he could see any bright object. That eye has continued to clear, until he is now able to see luminous bodies at a distance, and can distinguish small bodies by bring? ing them close to his eye. Persons that he knows well, he can distinguish at the dis? tance of a few feet, and it is hoped that in process of time his sight will so far im? prove as to relieve him from many of the difficulties to which he is subject. ? 0 ?? * * 9 a Tom has been seen. probably by more people than any one living being. He has played in almost every important city in the United States and in a great many of the smaller towns?Paris and most of the prin? cipal cities of England and Scotland ; and everywhere he has astonished and pleased those who have heard him. Those who have observed him most closely, and at? tempted to investigate him most fully, pro? nounce him "a living miracle," unpar? alleled, incomprehensible, such as has not been seen before, and probably will never be seen again. A New Kind of Mortgage. Charlotte, N. C, April 15. One of the most remarkable deeds of mortgage probably ever made was put upon record in the register's ofEce here. According to the terms of this mortgage, Charles Didenover, an intelligent but impecunious man, conveys himself, and all right and title to himself to another, to have and to hold forever, to secure a debt he owes the mortgager. The deed was duly witnessed, sigued and sealed. Didenover is a married man, and there? fore, under the laws of this State, before a man can convey any real estate his wife has to give her signature thereto, ac? knowledged before a Notary Public or Magistrate. Although it is doubtful whether the object in this case has the character of this property, Didenover's wife waives all of her rights, title and claims to him in favor of the mortgagee, and has signed a deed of conveyance, and acknowledged the same with all due form before a Magistrate. The case is one of the most remarkable ever knowu in this section, and attracts wide-spread interest. If a man can mortgage him? self and convert his body into lerjal col? lateral, it will open up a new class of security, which will be hailed with great pleasure by many an impecunious man. If the legality of this deed is confirmed by the courts^ it will not be a great while before Didenover's example will be fol? lowed by many hard pressed topers in the old north State. ? A dispatch to the St. Louis Repub? lican from El Paso, Texas, dated April 15, says: "Day before yesterday two young Mexicans uamed Jourique and Sanchez were shot and killed by Ameri? cans in a difficulty about land about eight miles up the river from here. The Mexican Consul, with an armed force of Mexicans, having obtained permission from the Mayor to come over here, took possession of the dead bodies. While I the remains were in a wagon in front of the Justice's office awaiting an inquest, between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening, a dispute arose about the presence of armed Mexicans between G. W. Campbell, John Hale and a policeman named Krempken. Hale covered Krerapken with his pistol, and a ''hooting affray began. Hale shot Krempken, the city marshal shot Hale and a Mexican accidentally, and also shot Campbell, making six men lying in the street at the same time. Hale died a few minutes after being shot, Krempken was killed instantly, Campbell died this morning, and the Mexican is in a critical condition. ? A special dispatch from San Anto? nio, Texas, to the Galveston TXeivs, dated April 15, gives the details of a horrible triple murder about seven miles from that city. John Simmons, a heavy stock owner, left his hon.e on Sunday last. Yesterday his herder, named J. S. Phil? lips, went out with the sheep. About noon Mrs. Simmons was found lying in the herder's room with her throat cut and her body bearing evidence of an out? rageous assault. An alarm was given, and soon after the body of Mrs. Simmons' child and her mother, Mrs. Parker, were found at the foot of an embankment about 100 yards from the house, their skulls crushed in with a rock. The herder seems to think Simmons was the murderer, but he himself was arrested and committed without bail.

His condition was very alarming to all of us, and we did every thing we could think of to benefit him, without success, until I got him a bottle of your Lung Restorer. He began to improve after the first dose, and before he had taken two bottles was en? tirely cured, where I feared no cure was possible, and I most cheerfully recommend it to all who have any affections of the Lungs. He was coughing and spitting all the time, so incessantly that it prevented his sleeping at night, and what little sleep he got did not refresh him in the least. Had but little appetite, and since he began themse of Brewer's Lung Restorer has slept well and his appetite is very much better. I have never seen anything act so promptly and effect a cure in so short time.
