Says an experienced bachelor: "The best thing to take when you kiss a pretty girl take time.. The more you take the better she likes it." What a fool he must be?to take "time."

The Intelligencer is growing more popular every day, judging from the number of new subscribers wo are add? ing to our list.

Carlisle tells us that a mad dog was killed by Mr. J. F. Anderson, I near Roberts' Church, last Thursday. The dog bit several dogs on Mr. S. C.

Were a man forced tor a length of time but to hold bis peace, it were in most cases an incalculable benefit to his insight. Thought works in silence, so does virtue. What folly would one avoid did the tongue be quiet till the mind had finished and wbb calling for utterance. Messrs.

"My darling, you do not bestow upon me so much affection as you did before wc were married," remarked a pouting bride to her husband the other day. "Don't I?" he replied.

McConnell which appears elsewhere. He has recently opened ont a new and elegant assortment of dry goods, notions, millinery, tfcc, in the store-room formerly occupied by Brock <fc Mauldiu, and will make it to tho special advantage of the ladies to call and see his stock. His store is managed by Miss Sallie Bowie, an experienced mil? liner. We bespeak for Mr. McConnell a liberal share of the public trade. On Tuesday night about 11 o'clock the bedding in an up-stairs room of Mr. J. F. Wilson's rcsidenco, in this city, caught fire. Fortunately a member of the fami? ly had not retired for the night, and the alarm was promptly given. Before Many persons reached the scene, tho bed? ding had been thrown out doors and the flames subdued. The wind was blowing furiously at the time, and if the fire had got under headway it would have been impossible to have saved anything within its reach. A certain young man in the c ity called on his favorite girl a few nights since. He had not been long in the parlor before the young lady's little brother came in and climbed upon his lap. The young lady spoke to the little fellow, and told him he was too big aud heavy to set on Mr.-'s lap, "No I ain't," retorted the little fellow; "I saw you sitting on his lap the other night, and I'm not near as big and heavy as you are." The little fellow was immediately hustled off to bod, with instructions to his ma to give him a flogging. Some of our young readers may like to try the experiment of making a hang? ing garden of a sponge. Tako a whito sponge of large size, and sow it full of rice, hemp, canary, and other seeds; then place it in a shallow dish, in which a little water is constantly kept, and as the sponge will absorb the moisture, the see$ will begin to sprout. When this has taken place, the sponge may be suspend? ed by cords and hung where a little sun? shine will eater. It will thus becorno a mass of groen foliago, and should be re? freshed with water daily so as to be kept moist. Mr. Daniel K. Watson, a highly re? spected citizen of tbis County, died at Iiis residence in Varcnnes township last Sat? urday morning, after an illness of three days, at theadvanced age of eighty-seven years. Mr. Watson was a remarkably active, stout, healthy man, and during his long life scarcely knew what it was to be sick. He was born, raised and al? ways resided in tho immediate neighbor? hood where he died. He was a consistent member of Mt. Creek Baptist Church for more than fifty years. A kind and oblig? ing neighbor, upright and honest in all his dealings with his fellow-man, he nat? urally made a friend of every one with whom he came in contact. In his deuth Anderson County has lost a worthy citi? zen. After appropriate funeral sorvices, conducted by Rev. L. M. Ayer, his re? mains wore interred in tho Mt. Creek Graveyard last Sunday morning. He leaves a largo connection and a host of friends to mourn his death. The County Republican Convention met here last Friday for the purpose of electing delegates to the State and Con? gressional Conventions, which meet in Columbia on tho 15th inst. The meeting was not largely attended, and no businoss worth mentioning was transacted. The following are tho delegates elected: To the State Convention?Wm. A. Clarke, Aaron Saxton, W. H, Gassoway and Lawrence Walker; to the Congressional Convention?Lawrence Jones, Wm. H. Thompson and D. Hagood. Tho delegates wore instructed to vote forE. P. Blodgott, of Walhalla, and Wm. A. Clarke, of this city, as delegates to the Chicago Conven? tion. We are informed that Lawrence Jones, tho County Chairman, is dissatis? fied because he was not elected a delegate to the State Convention, as he desires to go to the "Chicago Convention. It is un? derstood that the delegation will be un? der the control of Collector Bray ton, who will, we presume, use them in the inter? est of Arthur. A Graphic Description of the Destruction Wrought oil the Pickens Place near Pen dleton. The Charleston Neva and Courier, of last Friday, contained the following: Col. Samuel B. Pickens, who has recent? ly returned from a visit to his father's place near Pendleton, which was seriously injur? ed by the cyclone a few days ago, in con? versation with a reporter for the News and Courier yesterday gave a very graphic de? scription of the approach and the work of the cyclone as witnessed by his father, Col. T. J. Pickens, and by his mother, brother and sister, who were on the place at the timo. The tornado's approach was heralded by j a fearful hissing noise and it was seen a mile off like a huge cone stretching from the earth to the clouds. Trees, rocks, pie? ces of lumber and dirt seemed to be sucked into the vortex like so many atoms and were then vomited forth from the top of the cone and thrown immense distances. As soon as the approach of the monster cloud was seen, Col. Pickens made an effort to get his family out of the house into the garden, which was bare of trees. He had only reached the back door of tho house, however, when he was carried by the suc? tion of the air in the direction of the storm centre and first found himself near the carriage-hou3e, several yards off. The air by tbis time was full of sand and pebbles and pieces of timber, and it was impossible to see a foot ahead. Col. Pickens was then whirled around in the direction of the kitchen and he held on to the corner of this building until it was levelled and scattered by the wind. Subsequently he found himself at tho buck door of his residence with j bad bruise on his head and a cut in Iiis furehead, which he had evidently received from a flying piece of timber. " Tho ladies, fortunately, had not time to get out of the house and escaped with a few bruises. The effect of the storm on the dwelling was peculiar. The storm center passed about three uundred yards south of the hcuso and it appeared as it were to stretch out an arm towards tho house, and levelled twenty-four oaks in the yard, one of which fell across two of the rooms in the wing of the house, al? most completely destroying them, tore away the four massive columns which supported the front piazza, blew every door aud window-sash on tho north of the house completely through the house, and as with a giant's hand stirred up everything in the rooms into an inextrica? ble mass. Much of the furniture was ?maslK-1, the papering and the pictures were torn from the wall, the dinner table which was sot ready for the meal was smashed into atoms with everything on it. Tho fire in the liro-place was thrown all over one of tho rooms, but fortunately water was near at hand and tho llames were extinquished before they had much headway. The oaks which were uprooted were giants of a half century's growth, and many of them measured nine feet in circumference. All the outbuildings on the premises were levelled and scattered around. The storm lasted only a few mo? ments, but its force in the centre of its path was irresistible. A Card. Mr. Editoe : I feel under many obliga? tions to the citizens, both white and col? ored, at and about Pendleton for the kindness shown to the families living on the North place in their hour of distress and need. After the cyclone of the 25th ult. had passed, these families wero cer? tainly in a very sad condition, and had they been left to care for themselves they would have suffered. Bnt many, both white and colored, came to their relief, and within four days all were again un? der shelter, very comfortably housed, and able to go on with their farm work. This has been a great kind. ;ss to me as well as to them, and I do hereby ac? knowledge my indebtedness and sincere? ly thank each and all for the help ren? dered. It is a good thing to be surround? ed by neighbors so kind and willing to help. Very respectfully, W. W. Mills. A Card. Mb. Editou: I will be obliged to you for a small space in your columns to ro turu tho heartfelt thanks of myself and family to our kind and sympathizing friends aud neighbors, white and colored, who camo to our aid and delivorance from the calamity that has befallen us by the cyclone. The warm sympathy ex? pressed and tho generous labor amid tho ruins of our desolated homo to make it habitable, will ever be dearly cherished among the grateful memories of the past. Respectfully, T.
