Mr. Lewis' horse "Red Chief," is one of the finest bred horses in the State. For a combination horse, he comes up to the ideal standard, and is greatly admired by those who know him. He has trotting blood in him and is well formed for speed, work or show. It will be well for oar farmers to observe that by a late Act of the Legislature they, are required, during the month of March, to remove from the running streams upon their lands all trash and obstructions, uh- ; der penalty of fine and imprisonment, j Upon complaint being made to the County Commissioners they are required to indict the offender. The change in the advertisement of Miss Lizzie Williams was handed in too late for i nsertion this week, bat will appear next week.

The ladies are invited to call early and of? ten and see her pretty goods. Seneca Free Press, 14th inst.: "Another party of colored emigrants, about forty-five in number, came op on the Blue Ridge Railroad from Anderson on Monday night. Nearly half of them were refused tickets by the emigrant agent who met them at this point, as (hey were single persons, and his instructions allowed him to furnish passage only to families. Our reporter states that there was lively courting done at the depot on Tuesday, and one or two mar? riages consummated. Those who failed to get free tickets are still strolling aro und our streets daring the day and holding concerts at night to secure money to get away." ass -?

South, of this city, died at the residence of Mr. Solomon Geer, in Broadaway town? ship, on last Monday evening, aged about 23 years. She was a member of the Pres? byterian Church in this city, and her re? mains were interred in the cemetery of that Church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., conducting the funeral services. Mrs.^Mary Hinton, of Garvin township, was bitten one day last week by a dog sup? posed to be mad, which came into her yard and seemed disposed to bite a little child, but upon being interfered with by her seized her, indicting a painful wound npon the ankle, which it is feared may prove se? rious. The dog afterwards bit several dogs before he was killed. Another rabid dog was killed in the same neighborhood by Mr. James A. Carson on last Friday. There is considerable excitement over the subject in the neighborhood, and it is feared that quite a number of dogs have been bit? ten. In consequence of this several dogs have already been killed in that vicinity, and it is quite probable that others will be put out of the way of doing harm in the same way. The Atlanta Constitution, of last Sunday, contained an illustration and description of the Gate City Bank building, which was recently completed. Our young friend, J. P. Reed, Esq., has his office in this build {ing, and the Constitution, in giving a short I sketch of the occupants, has this to say about him: "Mr. Reed has only been in Atlanta a few months, coming here from Anderson, S. C, his old home. He is very nicely situated in. room number 32, having his office elegantly furnished. His library is one of the most valuable in the State, which be inherited from his father. It contains^several hundred volumes, many of which are rare copies of books long gone out of print. He has a copy of Coke on Littleton, published in 1790, the value of which ia hard to estimate, being worth probably $400. This is only one of a great many such works Mr. Reed has of equally rare value. .He is a young man of excep? tionally line address, .coupled with strong intelligence, and is destined to build np a fine practice." An election was held in thoseveral town? ships along the line of the Savannah Val? ley Railroad in Abberille County last Sat? urday on the question of making another subscription, aggregating 820,000, for the I purpose of completing the said Road. The following is the result in the various town? ships: Lowndesville?199 yeas, 4 nays; Magnolia?114 yeas, 23 nays; Calhoun? 191 yeas, 45 nays; Bordeaux?100 yeas, 32 nays. This result insures the completion of the Road from Lowndesville to McCor mack's. It now devolves upon the town? ships interested in Anderson County to de? cide what we will do. The friends of the enterprise are now more hopeful than ever before, and if the townships in Anderson County will only do their duty it will not be many months before the trains will be running through their sections. Every? body should go to work in earnest now, and not stop until the last roil has been laid and the last spike driven on this important commercial highway. The University Bearding House In Ashes. Last Snnday morning the large and commodious brick building, known as the University Boarding House, on Main street, was entirely consumed by fire. The alarm was given about 10 o'clock. When first discovered a blaze was pro? truding through a window of the North? west corner room on the third floor. It is supposed that the fire bad been burn? ing some fifteen or twenty minutes be? fore it was discovered, and by the time the alarm was beard throughout the city and before many persons reached the scene, it was conceded to be useless to at? tempt to save the buildi&g, as it would be impoKsible to get sufficient water to the third story. Everybody, upon arriv? ing at tho building, went immediately to work saving the furniture. All the fur? niture on the first floor and the greater portion on the second was saved. Since the 1st of January the building had been occupied by Prof. H. G. Reed as a boarding house for the cadets of the Anderson Military School. It is not known how the fire originated, as all the cadets were away at the time in attend? ance upon Snnday School. The rules re? quired every cadet .to carefully pu- out bis fire upon leaving hin room, and it was the duty of the officer of the day to visit each room after .the cadets left to see that this rule had been complied with. This was done by Cadet Dunlap on Sunday morning after the cadetu bad gone away, and he found everything all right. It is believod the fire originated in the roof or ceiling. Prof. Reed's loss amounts to between two and three hundred dollars. The ca? dets who roomed on the third, floor lost all their wearing apparel and effects. As usual, our citizens, both white and colored, worked like trojans in saving what they could from the flames. We I wonld mention, particularly, Ad. John? son, colored, for the valuable assistance rendered and his daring bravery. After the building had been pronounced un? safe and ingress prevented by the stair? way, he entered tho second,story by a ladder and saved the contents of two rooms. For this act of heroism he was rewarded with a purse of five or six dol? lars, contributed by citizens on the spot. The building was erected as a boarding house for the Johnson Female Univer? sity in 1858, and contained twenty-seven rooms. Its original cost was about $6,000. Several years since it, together with the University building and grounds adjacent, was purchased by a joint stock company, composed of citi? zens of Anderson, known as the "Ander? son Educational Association." The building was insured for $2,500. The loss, therefore, is considerable. A meet-^ ing of the Stockholders of the Associa? tion is called for to-morrow (Friday) morning, and it is hoped that steps will be immediately taken io rebuild a com? modious boarding honse, as tho demands of the School require it. Prof. Reed has moved into the second story of the University building, where he can accommodate alt his boarders for the present. A Car l. To the Members of tin Anderson Baptist Cliurch: The Churches at Chester and Brad? ley (a new town on the A. & K. R. R.) were blown down by the cyclone of the 19th ult., and the brethren have appealed to you for aid in rebuilding. A collection for this purpose will be taken on next Sunday, 23rd inst. I make this announcement in this way, because so few were at Church on Sunday last, owing to the excitement inci? dent to the fire. T. P. Bell. Flour! Flour!

The following telegram from Greenville to the News'and Courier gives the sequel of the arrest of Conductor Foulk upon the charge of abducting Miss Rinah Johnston, of Williamston. and we are gratified to find that the hope expressed by us in our last issue has been justified by the facls. It is unfortunate that so much publicity has been given to the affair, but from the be? ginning it appeared to us improbable that there was anything criminal on tho part of the young lady or of Mr. Foulk. The fol? lowing facts from Greenville afford the vin? dication of the parties, and entitle the lady to sympathy for the improper construction which was put upon her action : Greenville, March 12.?The unfortunate affair involving Conductor Foulk, of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, and the good name of Miss Rinah Johnston, of Williamston, had a happy ending to-day. Long before the hour appointed for the preliminary examination of Foulk on the charge of abduction a dense crowd had gathered around the office of Justice Fur man, and the greatest interest was shown in the events aoout to occur. Mr. Foulk and his counsel, Messrs. John R. Bellinger, W. H. Irvine and Mr. Cooke, were present promptly, and announced that they were ready to proceed with the investigation. A message from the father of Miss Johnson secured an interview with Justice Furman, who returned shortly afterwards and "an? nounced that the prosecution had been withdrawn and that the case was therefore dismissed. Foulk's counsel insisted on a more for? mal motion and dismissal of the case. The Court said that this was wholly unnecessa? ry, but, added, however, for the satisfaction of the counsel that the prosecution had been withdrawn because there was no evi? dence of any criminal action on the part of Mr. Foulk and no evidence that he had had anything to do with the act of the young lady in leaving her home. Mr. Irvine made an eloquent little speech in exoneration of the prisoner. Mr. Foulk's bond for appearance was handed him and he walked forth free. It has been fully established that the ru? mors that Foulk had been writing notes to the young lady previous to her leaving home, and that he had been passing him? self off as .a single man, were untrue. It appears in the statements given below that his acquaintance with the young lady be? gan upon her coming to Greenville. Those interested on both sides of the unfortunate affair have been eagerly pressed by the re? porters for information concerning the set? tlement of the matter, and in order that consistent reports might go forth to the public a meeting was agreed upon between Mr. Johnson und Mr. Foulk, through the intervention of friends, and the following statements were given to the press: statement of conductor foulk;. On the 6th of March, 1884, a young lady came on my train at Williamston. I did not know her. She had a ticket to Green? ville. Before the arrival of tho train at Greenville I asked her if any one was to meet her at Greenville. She replied no. I then asked her if P could be of any assis? tance to her. She then asked me which was the best hotel to stop at. I told her there were two, the Mansion House and the Exchange, and she preferred stopping at the Mansion House. I assisted her to the street car when we arrived at Greenville, and she came to the Mansion House. She gave me a piece of paper on which was written a name and asked me to register the name. I did so. The name was "Delia Brewer, Grove Sta? tion." She was assigned to room No. 56. She asked me to accompany her to the Opera-house that evening, and I consented to do so. After supper I knocked at the door of her room and told her I was ready to go to the Opera-house with her. We went to the Opera-house and from there returned to the Mansion House. 1 left her at the door of her room and went down stairs. I did not see her again until the next morning when, in the ball wuy, on my way to breakfast I saw her standing at her room door. The next I saw of her was in the entry of the hotel on her way to the train. She went on the train to Greenwood, where she left my train and I saw her no more and have not seen her siuce. Our intercourse was that of mere polite? ness and courtesy on my part. There was nothing in any way improper in her con? duct or her actions during the time I saw her from her first getting on my train on Thursday evening until sne left my train at Greenwood on Friday morning. statement of j. d. johnson. My daughter, who is about sixteen years of age, le" her home because she knew me to be in embarrassed circumstances finan? cially, and thought that she could earn her own living and obtain means to finish her education. In doing so she did not consult me and acted unwisely, but I am satisfied from my conversations with her, and from all I can learn of her actions and deport? ment during her absence, that Ler motive in leaving her home was simply that of relieving me from what she considered to be a burdensome expense in her education, and I am also satisfied that she was not decoyed from her home or abducted by Mr. Foulk. As to the various little rumors that have been in circulation concerning the affair, many of which were without foundation, only this can be said: The father and brother ot the young l?dy have given tho matter careful investigation, and all ex? planations from either side are merged in the foregoing papers. The unexpectedly sudden ending of the exciting affair, especially as its termination is so favorably to the good name of the fair young damsel, is intensely gratifying to everybody here. Graduations at the Willlamston Female College. Mr. Editor: On Friday afternoon, the 7th inst., at the regular time for closing the exercises for the day, Dr. Lander, President of the Williamston Female College, an? nounced that two young ladies, Misses Al? exander and Prince, had completed the course of study required for graduation, and that he felt a peculiar pleasure in pro? nouncing them alumntc of the institution. This simple announcement, with a few other pertinent remarks, and an appropriate talk from the Rev. William Hutto, who happened to be present, was the only dis? tinguishing feature of this Commencement occasion. We were debarred the pleasure of visit? ing the College Chapel Friday afternoon, and consequently missed hearing the re? marks of Dr. Lander and Mr. Hutto. We are informed, however, that the Doctor very tenderly reminded the two graduates that they were about to step out into a great world of which they knew comparatively nothing. That to graduate?to get a Colle? giate education?was one thing; to use that education aright was another. That their education must be used if they would keep it or be benefited by it. That the William? ston Female College sends these young ladies out with her seal upon them, and is proud of them, but regrets to lose the daily influence of their studious habits and per? fect deportment. Rev. Wm. Hutto made a few remarks of congratulation and encouragement to tho young ladies, and reminded them of the positive demands of the future upon them as educated young women. These unostentatious exercises, brought down to such a fine point by Dr. Lander, might occur, as all who are acquainted with the workings of the institution know, at the end of every section Of five weeks. Every thing is managed so quietly and sys tematically, and so little funs is made about the matter of graduation, that outsiders would know nothing about it but for the town girls or day scholars incidentally men? tioning to their parents and friends the possibility of such an event. Indeed, so thorough is th6 instruction and so rigid and complete the system of marking that the candidate for graduation herself docs not know until the last bell is rung in the afternoon whether she has been successful. On these occasions a stranger would ob? serve nothing to distinguish the graduate from the under-graduate. Dressed in her every-day attire, she remains unnoticed at her accustomed place, and goes through with tho regular calisthenic exercises even after sho has been declared a graduate. With persons accustomed to the demon? strative Commencement exercises so popu Iar in the South, the presentation of diplo? mas is inseparable from their ideas of grad? uating. Here it is different. The final ex? amination is not held, as at other institu? tions of learning, several days or perhaps weeks before the time appointed for Com? mencement, but on graduation day. The consequence is there is no time for the preparation of a diploma. The President announces that a diploma or the College badge pin, whichever the young lady may elect, will be sent to her parents as soon as prepared. Miss Lizzie Alexander, leaving behind her a very enviab le College record, takes back to her home in North Carolina the very tenderest regards of her instructors and companions and best wishes of her friends in Williamston. Miss Lila C. Prince, the daughter of our townsman, Mr. W. L. Prince, leaving a record none the less enviable, takes to her parents the hearty ''well done" of her in? structors, to gladden their?hearts in the afternoon of their lives. The writer, having previously had : ? lplo opportunity for studying the cham^n. and ability of these two young ladies, will be pardoned for saying that the Williamston Female College sends out two fine speci? mens of the cultivated Southern lady?two capable of appreciating the fact that with them real life has just begun, that only the foundation for an education is laid, and that the superstructure depends entirely upon their owu efforts.
