Mr. Browne was born in this County September 21st, 1815, and married Miss Nancy Geer August9th, 18S5. He had thirteen chil? dren, twelve of whom grew to manhood and ten of whom arc now living. Mr. Browne was Commissioner of roads, bridges and ferries for a number of years, and County Commissioner from 1877-79. He joined the Methodist Church at Eb enezer early in life, apd was ever an up? right, honorable and exemplary Christian citizen whoso death is regretted by his many friends throughout the County: His remains were interred in the Ebe? neezer cometory on Saturday, Revs. C. V. Barnes and W. H. King conducting ap? propriate funeral services on the occa? sion. The Greenville News of Sunday says : "The neighborhood of upper Anderson in which the poisoning case recently nar? rated in the Neves occurred, has been much excited by the incident. Popular senti? ment unanimously centered on the color? ed man Gaillard as the person goilty of the poisoning. It was found impossible to obtain evidence to make his conviction likely in a court, and be was therefore not arrested. It was determined, how? ever, that he should remain in the neigh? borhood no longer, and Friday he was visited in broad day light by a committee of citizens consisting of thirty colored and twenty white men. They instructed and .dvised Gaillard that he would pro? mote his personal interests and safety by becoming scarce within twenty-four hours. Gaillard's wife produced a shot gun and threatened the raiders with it, but her husband was more philosophical and promptly adopted the suggestions 'made to him. He has already departed for parte unknown." One of the growing enterprises'of An? derson in the buggy and carriage manu? factory of Messrs. Reed & Stephens, on South Main street. Since this firm first started in Anderson, their business has increased year after year, their buildings have been enlarged, and new machinery added, until now it is one of the most complete establishments of the kind in this section of the State. Mr. Stephens, the senior member of the firm, has had twenty-fivo years experience as a practi? cal workman himself, and every piece of work put up in the establishment Is closely inspected by him, which is a guar? antee that uothing but the most substan? tial work is sent out. The phietons, bug? gies and wagons built by this firm are scattered all over the upper section of the State, and wherever used they have gl von entire satisfaction. A gentleman re? marked in our presence the other day <that he bad been using a phieton manu? factured by them for ten years, and would not to-day swap it for one made in a West ; ern establishment. If any of our readers I contemplate buying a vehicle of any kind, we wouldjadvise them to consult Messrs. Reed ?fc Stephens.

Beaty, which occurred at his home in Hall Township last Tuesday, after a brief illness from fever. Mr. Beaty was about 57 years old, and was born and reared on the planta? tion where he died. For a few years p'rior'to the war ho was engaged in busi? ness at this place. When the war began and the State called upon her sons to de-, fend her rights lie, despite his bad health, volunteered his services as a member of Orr's Regiment. After sei ving his coun? try faithfully for a time, his health grew so bad that be was honorably discharged, and he retired to his.fanu, whore he has ever sincd resided. For a number of years past he was the efficient Postmaster at Stony Point, and always took an ac tiye, leading-part.iu a.uy of the affairs of his neighborhood that would tend to tho welfare of the County. He was a mau of noble, generous impulses, and niado a friend of every one with whom be became acquainted. lie united with Good Hope Presbyterian Church when quite a young man, and throughout Iiis life was an ex? emplary Christian. For a number of years past he was a Ruling Elder in that Church. He leaves a wife and six chil? dren to mourn his death. His remains were interred in the cemetery at Good Hope Church on Wednesday morning, Rev. R. C Ligon conducting the funeral services. Tke Female Seminary Commencement. Gen. Ayer' has kindly furnished us with the following programme of the Commencement exercises of the Ander? son Female Seminary : The Annual Commencement cxtrcise* of the Andersen Female Seminary will begin on Monday night, June 1st, with an Art Levee, held at the President's residence, to which the patrons and friends of the Seminary are cordially invited. A good deal of the art work done by the pupils haa been seat off to distant friends as presents, and therefore cannot be obtain? ed for exhibition on this occasion, but as far as possible everything done in the Art Department this session will be placed for exhibition and examination on Mon? day night. On Thursday night, in the Baptist Church, the Primary Department will aing in a little Cantata called "Faith) Hope and Charity," which will be follow? ed by an address from Rev. T. P. Bell to the Exochean Society, after which there will.be some music and awarding of med? als td the young ladies who, in the opin? ion of the judges selected for this purpose by the President, have given evidence of best progress in painting and drawing during the session. Among the Art pu? pils at the Seminary are quite a number of the teachers and ladies living in the city, but none of their work will com? pete for the medals ; only that done by the young ladies who arc regular pupils in the school. On Friday morning there will be the usual exercises at the Church, consisting of the reading of the reports of the stand? ing of the young ladies during the session in their classes, etc. To these exercises the President respectfully urges the at? tendance of the parents and friends of the pupils. On Friday night Judge Logan E. Bleck - ley will deliver an original poem, the essays of the graduates will be read, and diplomas will be awarded the young ladies who have secured them. To these exercises the public is respectfully in? vited. A Iilrely Contest. The question as to who is to be Post? master at Anderson has become the ab? sorbing theme here for the past few days, and personal feeling runs very high on the subject. The active applicants for the position are Mrs. Coohran, the present incumbent, Mr. C. W. Webb, Capt. J. T. Barnes and Mr. R. W. Todd. Messrs. G. W. Fant, A. S. Stephans and J. Feas ter Brown, while submitting no petitions, had strong endorsement from prominent citizens. Mrs. Cochran had a strong pe? tition, with the names of a majority of the business men of Anderson upon it, while Capt. Barnes and Mr. Todd each had large petitions from the County, and also a number of signers from the city. Mr. Webb, who applied later, presented a large petition from both the city and the County. Matters stood in this way until the article which we copy from the News and Courier appeared. This pro? duced an activity among the several ap? plicants, which resulted in a call for a meeting of the Anderson Board of Trade on Monday afternoon. This meeting was a stormy one, in which personal feeling ran high. An effort was made to name one of the candidates as the choice of the Board of Trade. This was defeated and a resolution was passed expressing the sense of the Board of Trade that a Dem? ocrat should be appointed. The vote upon this resolution stood fifteen to four? teen. On tho following morning another meeting of the Board of Trade was held, at which the resolution oi the day before was reconsidered and laid upon the table. The Board of Trade then by resolution proceeded to ballot for the choice of the Board of Trade for Postmaster, dropping the lowest candidate on euch ballot until a choice was made on the third ballot, re? sulting In the inomination of Mr. C. W. Webb. This was made unanimous with a single dissenting vote, and was tele? graphed to the Postmaster-General, our Senators aod Representative Aiken. Tho result of this meeting is genorally conceded to put tho selection between Mr. Webb, Mrs. Cochran and Mr. Todd. Each is strongly backed for the appointment. Mr. Webb has the Board of Trade and many of the leading citizens of Anderson endorsing him. He is an active, diligent, thoroughly competent and popularyoung man, and would make an efficient officer. Recent information shows that Col. Aiken has also endorsed him for appointment. Mr. Todd has on his papers tho endorse? ment of a very large number of influen? tial gentlemen throughout the County, and had also Col. Aiken's endorsement. He has made a faithful and diligent pub? lic officer, and if appointed to the Post office here, would doubtless sustain his previous record. Mrs. Cochran has the endorsement also of a large number of business men and patrons of the ofllce. She has made an efficient and acceptable officer for the past four years, and although her husband has been a prominent Republican his conservative course enabled her to got the names of many Democrats on her peti? tion. In fuct ho has taken no part in party management since 1670. Hence the department is hesitating between these three applicants. Ihere is, of course, much personal feel iug ever the appointment, but tho people have tho assurance that the business of the office will bo properly administered whoever the President may appoint.

Mythical ideas are fanning the public I brow with the breath of prejudice, ignor? ance and hnmbuggery. - Have you the remotest idea that your scrofula was created by the use of potash and mercury ? No matter what the cause, B. B. B- is the peer of all other remedies. Do you presume that your troublesome catarrh is the result of mineral poisoning? B. B. B. is tho quickest remedy. Are your chronic ulcers and boils and sores the re? sult of potash and mercury? Medical gentlemen will not tell you so. but B. B. B. is the only sovereign remedy. Were your terrible kidney troubles created by mineral poisoning? Not a bit of it, but B. B. B. lias proven to be a reliable rem? edy. Are your skin diseases, your eezema dry tetter, etc., the effect of too much potash and mercury ? The medical pro? fession are the best judges, and they say nay, butB. B. B. makes more pronounced cures than all other preparations com? bined. . ? The loogest legitimate word in the English language is disproportionable ne?s. ? The Nashville police have been instructed to arre?t erery person who may be hewrd prefixing the name of God to an oath. ? A Connecticut school teacher has a queer method of punishment. After using the "ruler" she compels the child to stand up before the school and read three verses from the New Testament bearing upon the behavior for which he is punished. ? Mr. J. T. L. Stover has a young chicken with two lpgs and a well-formeu arm and hand. The hand has a thumb and four fingers very much like a human band. The arm is attached to that part of a chicken which crosses the fence laat. It is quite a singular freak of nature.
