Mattison has gone to Buffalo ^?Springs, Va., for his health. May he have a speedy recovery, is the earnest wish of his many friends in this county. The rafn on'Sunday night was pretty general all over the county. . It was a good "season," and' has' made the farmers all happy and cheerful. "There is millions in. Igj Somebody has loll a flask of powder in -. our ? office, and- now- if somebody else;.will "'?give us a double-barrel Bhot gun and a handful of b?ck shot we will be prepared for any emergency. ?

A. wiU meet in Newberry on next Thursday, 9th instant, and remain, in session through the Sunday following. Several members of the Association at this place will attend. ? The German Club .will go out to Ander? son ville to-day for a picnic We regret that circumstances are such that we cannot ac? cept a Mnd invitation to be present. The young people will doubtless have a pleas? ant day. " It is said the new New Testament does away with the Devil, which will be good - news to some people, who have always re? garded the old fellow as a probable future acquaintance. This is a progressive age,, yon know.- ?_. . - Mr. C, A. Reed has ^ contracted with Messrs. Jackson & Drerman for the erection of a warehouse; in the rear. Of his store on the Waverly House lot. The building will be 60 by 100 feet, two stories high, and will contain-abont 200,000 bricks. Rev. T. .V. Moore, .of Richmond, Vs., a brother of Mrs. L: M. Ayer, supplied Dr. Frierson'a pulpit Sunday mom in g. He had a large congregation and preached an excellent sermon. -He will also preach in the same church next Sunday morning. By reference to an advertisement else? where it will be seen that bids for grading the remaining thirty-six miles of the Savan . nah Valley Railroad from the terminus of the section, now under contract to the inter? section with' the Augusta and KnoxviUe Road are invited. We forgot last week to mention the mar--j riage of Mr. J. C. Hamlin and Miss Sue-A. .^Thompson, daughter of Dr. A E. Thomp? son, or this county, which was consumma? ted on Wednesday evening, 18th of May, Rev. W.r A. Hodges performing the ceremo? ny. Wo acknowledge the receipt of a pack? age of <xdce cake with the compliments of the bride and groom. About eighteen of the twenty-three miles of the Edgefield, Aiken and Trenton Bail road are already graded, and the remainder will be shortly completed. This is the road that it is how proposed to extend from Edgefield to the Greenwood and Augusta Road to connect with the Savannah Valley, . which w?l give us the shortest possible lines to both Charleston and Augusta. The Pair Play High School, of which W. P. Calhonn. Esq., is the efficient and popu? lar principal, will have a picnic on Friday of next week, 10th instant. Speeches will be made by the young men of the school, and a good time generally is in store for all who attend. The good people of that com? munity, the garden spot of Oconee county, know now to make such occasions success? ful. The Knights of Honor picnic at Keys' Spring on -last Thursday was attended by about one hundred and fifty persons, most? ly Knights and- 'heir families. It was an enjoyable occasion, and in every respect a success. The dinner was one of the finest and most bountiful we ever saw spread at a picnic, and though the speeches of Knights Breazeale and Feathers ton were short, they nevertheless added to the pleasures of the day. Mr. H. S. Trescot, of Washington, D. C, a member of the Engineer Corps of the National Government, and a son of Hon. Wm. H. Trescot, formerly of this county, paid ns a call on Thursday last. He is at present visiting friends in Peudleton, but will soon begin a survey of the French Broad River in North Carolina, for which an appropriation was made by the last Con? gress. If the managers of the excursion train on next Saturday don't look out they will lose their cargo at Seneca City. Most any body would rather have a pocketful Of diamonds than to see a little stream of water pouring over a pile of rocks. There is no doubt but what every passenger on the train-can get just as many diamonds as they want about Seneca. The-sand up there is just full of them, and all you nave to do is to wash them out. '.' The dosing exercises of the Anderson Female Seminary to-morrow evening will be very interesting, and the public general? ly are invited elsewhere in the Intklligex cee by Gen. Ayer, the worthy principal, to attend. Our distinguished Representative in Congress, the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, who never made an uninteresting speech in his life, will deliver an address during the the evening on Education. We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. L. H. Seel in this issue. He is a thoroughly reli? able gentleman, and deals in only the best article of stoves, etc. The oil stoves men? tioned in his advertisement are worth to any housekeeper twice the money asked for them. His fruit dryer is also a good thing, and as there is a tolerable crop of fruit this year be will doubtless find good sale for it. Give Mr. Seel a trial, and you will be pleased. The Supreme Court has just rendered a decree in the case of Mrs. Lydia A. M. VanWyck, et al., Plaintiffs vs. J. W. Nor ris, et al., sureties on the official bond of A. O. Norn's, late Commissioner in Equity for this County. The case for the Plaintiffs was argued by Messrs. Burt and Broyles, and for the Defense by Messrs. b. F. Whit ner and E. B. Murray. The decision sus? tains the Circuit decision in favor of the Defendants. A very large number of per? sons in this County are interested in the result. Mr. Charles P. Pressley, of Abbeville county, who was nominated last year as the successor of W7hitaker as cadet to West Point from the Third Congressional Dis? trict, has. addressed a letter to the Hon. d. Wyatt Aiken resigning the position and taking hfs "exit from the 'war department' until some more convenient season." Mr. John A. Towers, eldest son of Mr. A. b. Towers, of this place, is Mr. Prcssley's al? ternate, and will, we presume, now receive the nomination; bnt as Whitaker's trial for self mutilation has not ended, there is as yet no vacancy to be filled. His trial by a court martial has been in progress since last February. Every man in Anderson county who ex? pects to buy either a gin or steam engine any time soon should read the advertise? ment in this issue of Mr. John E. Peoples, is agent at this place for Hall's Self -Feeding Gin, Sohofield's Engine, and also for the Van Winkle King Cotton Pr?">s, the advertisement of "which will appear nest week. Mr. Peoples has been dealing in, gins, engines and presses for several years; is thoroughly posted as to what is best suit? ed to the needs of the farmers of this section and is striving assiduously to supply those needs. Read what those who have tried his gin and engine have to say in their favor and then call at his store and examine them for yourself and learn the many advantages not given in his advertisement he claims for them over other gins and engines. The Hall gin has long been recognized as one of the best ever offered to the public, and is i used in every cotton State in the Union^ The Schofield engine. i? also well known as'.' one of the best made, as is also the Van Wingle press. The Division of Sous of Temperance at this place will celebrate their fourteenth anniversary by a picnic excursion to Toccoa, Ga.," on the Air Line Railroad, next Satur? day, every arrangement for the success of which being completed by the committee to whom it was referred. The train will run from Belton, leaving thereabout 6 a. m., and this place about 7 a. m., reaching Toccoa at 9.30 or 10 a. m. The excursion? ists will have six or seven hours in which to visit the beautiful Toccoa Falls, about two miles from the village, and to seo the other interesting sights of the place. The fare for the ronnd.trip from Belton will be $1.30 and from Anderson .'$1. No tickets will be sold from any other stations, and no one will be allowed on the train without . a ticket. Arrangements have been perfec? ted with parties at Toccoa for transportation for two hundred and fifty persons out to "the falls and back, at the rates of twenty five cents in a vehicle without springs and .fifty ceate. in ia vehicle with spnngs. The tram will be in charge of the committee of arrangements from the Division consisting of Messrs. L. P. Smith, A. S. Todd, C. C. Langston, Columbus Wardlaw and R. R. Todd, and all who go on the excursion can be assured of a delightful trip, as only a limited number of tickets will be sold, thus preventing the crowding of the cars to an uncomfortable extent If Seneca City never becomes a city it will not be because it is not a highly fa? vored locality In point of natural advan? tages. Besides being situated in a rich and fertile region, abounding in gold mines and mineral springs, it has the addi ditional advantage of being located at the crossing of two great railroads. But in addition to all this, we hear now that near this city there has recently been discovered by an Englishman a mine abounding in diamonds of the finest quality. A gentle? man of our town who was in that city one day last*, weak had the pleasure of seeing and handling a few of the precious stones in the rough state. A correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, writing from Seneca under date of May 28, says of this discovery: "There has been much excite? ment in our community for the* past few days caused by the discovery of diamonds in an old gold min?. For years gold mining has been carried on to a greater or less ex? tent in this vicinity. Some two or three I years since Col. John Cochran rained qnite ! extensively, with what success was not ! generally known. Some two weeks since Mr. Joseph Blanny, .bailing from England, came to Seneca on bis way from western North Carolina, prospecting for mica, and was induced to go down and look around where Col. Cochran had been mining for gold. He went to panning on a farm ad? joining the Cochran mine, and was reward? ed by washing on t several diamonds. He sent some of them to Tiffany & Co., of New York, and one of their experts came out and pronounced them genuine straw col? ored diamonds, equal to the African dia | monds. Mr. Blanny has purchased eight hundred feet square from the owners of the land for $2,000, and proposes to go regularly I into the business, not as a stock company, but on his own account." There is a for? tune undoubtedly for every one of the citi? zens of this favored section in the business of hunting diamonds, if they can only be made to realize their opportunity. They ought to quit everything else and go to digging?digging for diamonds, we mean. Ofcourse, when they all get a bushel or two apiece, they will be generous enough to scatter them around among their neighbors and friends, of whom we are so fortunate as to be one. We always have said that j the future had a grand destiny in store for j Seneca City, though we little thought it "would be attained so soon. We might add that nearly all those who have made great fortunes, however, in mining operations have done it by ?'selling out." Commencement of the Anderson Female Seminary.

By its searching and cleansing quali? ties it purges out tho foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derangement and decay. It stimulates the vital functions, restores and pre? serves health, and infuses now life and vigor throughout tho whole system. No sufferer from any disease of tho blood need despair who will give Ayeb's Sarsapaiulla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the nu? merous low-priced mixtures, without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-puri? fiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. Ayeii's Sarsai>arilla is a medi? cine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and prescribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unquali? fied confidence of millions whom it has benefited. PREPARED BY DR. J. C.

THIS is the 50th year of the Daniel Pratt Cotton Gin Business, during which time they have manufactured over 22,000 Gins, which are used in every cottton-growing State in the Union, in Mexico, South America, British East Indies, and in almost every other country whero cotton is grown. The Hcvolving Head placed in the end of the cotton-box prevent the Gin from chok? ing and the roll from breaking. Any common plantation hand being able to feed the Gin satisfactorily. The Feeder is superior to any other machine of the kind in use. They are simple in construction, and easily managed. They stand upon the floor, and arc therefore not so hard to get at. The Condenser is equal to* any in use?we believe superior to any now made. The lower end of the cylender being open, all dirt from the lint is driven through the floor by the air from the gin-brush. By the use of this Condenser the lint-room can be entirely done away with, saving many dollars in the construction of buildings, making the labor of handling the cotton before packing far easier, and loss and damage by lire is reduced to a minimum. The Feeder and Condenser will pay for them? selves in one season. Every machine is fully warranted to do perfect work, and until the purchaser is fully satisfied with the machine we do not ask for payment. Should any machine prove in any way defective, we make the same good at our expense, upon* notice being given to us. We give the names of gentlemen in this and adjoining Coun? ties who have the Daniel Pratt Gins, Feeders and Condensers in use, and refer the public to them, believing that their recommendation of the machines will be more satisfactory to any one desiring to purchase than the ordinary stereotyped form so common :?
