The remains were Interred in the Baptist cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Cashln's little son, Eddie, died on Wednesday afternoon of last week, after a few days illness from dysentery, aged two years. Tha remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery on Thursday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Cashin have tbe sympathies of many friends in their bereavement. At the annual meeting of tbe State Dental Association; held in Columbia last week, Dr. A. P. Johnstone, of this city, was elected President of the body. This is a deserving compliment to Dr. John atone, and be will wear tbe honors of his office not only with credit to himself, but to the noble profession which be repre ? son ts. . We are requested to state that Col. W. E. Walters and other gentlemen will ad? dress the Dove Old Field Sunday School on Sunday, 21st inst., at 11 o'clock a. m.

Miss Mary Lee died at tbe County Alms Houbo on last Friday at th* advanced age of eighty years. She was for many yt ars a resident of Anderson, and maintained herself as. a seamstress until old age im? paired her ability to support herself. She was a respected and industrious lady, and was a devoted member of tbe Baptist Church. Her remains were Interred in the Baptist cemetory in Anderson on Sat? urday afternoon, Rev. T. P. Bell conduct? ing the funeral services. An interesting game of ba*e ball was played in the city last Thursday after? noon between the Williamston club and tbe club of this city. At the end of tbe eighth inning the Williamston boys had doubled the Anderson boys, and every? body conceded the game to them, but on tbe ninth inning the Anderson boys de? termined to win, and when the game ended the score stood 21 to 17 in favor of Anderson. The Willlumston club is com - ?osed of good material and a clever set of oys. Mr. Win. B. Painter of Memphis, Tenn., is in the city, the guest of the Wa yerly House. Mr. Painter left Anderson with his parents when quite a small boy, more than thirty years ago, and this is his first visit here since then. His father settled the place now occupied by Mr. C. A. Reed. At that time all that portion of the town was in woods. Mr. Painter is the State Agent for Thompson's Universal Garment Cutter, a very valuable and use? ful invention. Miss Nelly Byrd, the young and be? witching travelling agent of tho Sunny South, illuminated our sanctum with her bright countenance last Friday. Miss Byrd has just made a tour of tho State, and despite the bard times has been quite successful in swelling the subscription list of her paper. Tho Sunny South is an excellent literary paper, and is very cheap at $2 a year. Although the paper has a good list of subscribers at Anderson, Miss Byrd, by her winning and pleasing- man? ners, secured a number of new names. Our young friend, Irvino Twitty, ore of Messrs. Crayton & Sons' handsome clerks, has received from a Western friend quite a curiosity. It is a species of a bat, called by naturalists tho Drenabati' cits. This specimen was found clinging in a semi-torpid condition to an old wall of a ruined building, and was removed by sheer force, so tenaciously do they cling. Their bite .is pronounced by physicians to be dangerous, and frequently cause death -It is indeed a rare bird, and must be seon to be appreciated. Mr. Twitty will take pleasure in showing it to any one who may desire to see it. We had the pleasure of mooting Hon? Wm. Henry Trescott, of Washington, in our city on Tuesday. Col. Trescott was formorly a citizen of Pendleton, and is now spending some weeks there as a re? creation. He is a Very able man, and tins proven himself to bo ono of the most skill? ful and accomplished diplomatists in the United States, having negotiated several delicate and important treaties. We ! hope that be may have occasion to visit Anderson often during his stay at Pen? dleton. Mr. C. C. Habenicht, one of Columbia's substantial and popular citizens, has been in the city for a day or two. On Fri? day evening he mode a donation of $10 to the Pioneer Fire Company, which -Is the largest single donation the Company baa yet received. Such gifts arc highly ap? preciated by the Pioneers, who will no doubt place Mr. Habcnicht's name on their honorary roll. Since the above was put in type we learn that Mr. "Whack" J Bailej', the .popular representative ofj Reab, O'Connor & Bailey, wholesale I liquor merchants, has also contributed $5 to the Pioneers. j The Pionetr Fire Company has receivod I and accepted an invitation to attend the I Firemens' Tournament at Greenville on the 24th and 25th inat. The running team has been selected, and the boys have gone to work in earnest practicing for the oc? casion. Greenville is making extensive preparations for the Tournament, which promises to be a big affair. A low ratoof fare has been secured from all the stations along tho C. & O. R. R. Tho round trip fare from Anderson is $1.00, tickets good for three days. This low rate should in- I duce a large attendance of our people, j There Is not much business on the rail? road at present, and the authorities, we think, could well afford to run an extra train from Anderson to Groenville und return on each day of the Tournament. A larg? crowd, we venture, would attend I the Tournament from her? if they could go and return the sains day. If the rail road authorities will carry out this sug- j gestion, we guarantee it will pay them. The McCormick Advance, of the 4th I inst., says: "General Humphries, Prcsi- j dent of the Savannah Valley Railroad I was in town yesterday and day before looking after tho interest of that Road, I and we are glad that we can inform our readers that all disatisfaction in regard] to the right of way of the Road now has been amicably adjusted from one ond of the line to the other. The work of laying the super-structure will commence in a few days. We are also informed that the Road will be completed as far up as Mt. Carmel in time for the next crop of cotton. I The planters on the line of the Road have much to be proud of for the reason that, although many obstacles have been thrown in the way of building the Road, yet by the indomitable energy nod pr-rseverance J of tho officers and stockholders thoy have J made a success, and that thoy will soon hear the sound of the whistle of tho en- I gine as it passes the forests and fertile fields of tho Savanuah Valley." Tho Ad? vance also says: "The first shipment to the Savannah Valley Railroad arrived in McCormick last Tuesday, consisting of spikes, bolts, etc., furnished by tho Cen? tral Road. It looks now as if work will begin at once. Capt. Estea is building the side-track of S. V. R. R. at present." Peter Waddleton, colored, who was perhaps the oldest person in this section of the State, died last Saturday at his home near the eastern suburbs of the city. "Unole Peter," as he was familiarly call? ed, was for many years prior to the war the property of Mr. Valentine Fant, de? ceased, father of our present Chief of Police. He was born and reared in Vir? ginia, having been brought to South Car? olina when a young mau by the Nevitt family. In the year 1812, owing to the death of his owner, Peter was sold at auc? tion, the bill of sale putting, him dowu at 28 years of age. According to this he was about 101 years old at tho time of his death. He claimed to be five years older, however, than he was accredited in the bill of sale, which would mako him at the time of his death 106 years okl. ' Un? cle Peter'' was strictly honest, and was never known to have been engaged in an offenco of any kind. He had the confi? dence of evory one who knew him. Be? fore the war he often visited Augusta alone with a load of cotton, which hp would sell and return home with the pro? ceeds to his master. He was always re? markably stout and healthy, and up to a few weeks ago was able to go about and do light jobs of work. He owned a little piece of land, which he always planted and worked himself. 3o hid a very re? tentive memory, and could relate things that happened at tho beginning of this century._ The Conclusion of the Anderson Military School Commencement. In accordance with the programme tho annual Plume Drill of the cadets took place on Wednesday afternoon of last week at 6 o'clock on the Court House Square. At taat hou r a very large crowd, the major part of which were ladies, had assembled on the Square to witness the drill. The Company paraded for some time, and was finally formed in line oppo? site Brick Range, when the contest for the plume began. Capts. T. F. Hill and J. E. Allen and Sergt. Foster Fant were the judges. The drill in tho manual contin? ued for some time, and the cadets gradu? ally droppeJ out until the contest nar? rowed down to Cadets Raymond Beaty, W. N. Mlllor and Alexis Ford. Those young gentlemen vied with each other for about fifteen minutes, and it was evident t'hkt tho judges had no einy task before them in deciding'who was entitled to tlie plumo. Finally the plume win awnrdod to Cadet Raymond Beaty. Gen. Capers then stepped forward and presented tho plume to Mr. Beaty, and in a few inter? esting remarks complimented the cadets on their drill and general appearance. He also said it was an exceedingly pleas? ant duty to him to present the plume to Mr. Beaty, as ho had commanded Mr. Beaty's father in the lato war, and on every battle-field found him a true sol dier. Tbe Company then gave three cheers for Cadet Beaty, and took up its inarch for headquarters. On Wednesday evening the chapel was filled with u larger crowd than on the preceding evening to witness the termi? nation of the Cor.: ni on cement exercises of the School. The Young America Cornot Band open? ed the exercises with a lively selection of music, after which Rev. T. P. Boll led In prayer. Tho following cadets then dulir ored origiuul spot-clies in the order named : Victor I. Masters, of Anderson, "KfTecta of Iynorunco." D. Joseph us Simpson, of Toccoa, Ua., "Our Ancestors and their Offspring." Frank C. DnProe, of Abbeville, "Beau? ties of Nature." Marion M. Mattison, of Donaldsvillo, "Self Reliance." John J. Norris, of Anderson, "School Days." William McD. Green, of Suiuter, "Per? severance." Marion Gassaway, of Anderson Coun? ty, "Some Hints as to How an Education May be Obtained." Marshall 0. Ligon, of Anderson, "La? bor." Alexis C. Ford, of Polzer, "Ambition." These speeches wero very interesting, and wore listened to attentively by the audience. The young gentlemen have every reason to be proud of their efforts. The speakers word tho recipients of many beautiful floral tributes and warm con gratulations from their friends. This clesed tho exercises of the Com? mencement, and everybody retired feel? ing that the occasion had been a grand success. Wo cannot close our report without adding a word in commendation of this popular school. Since its beginning it has grown more popular every session, as its large roll of students will show. Tho reputation of tho school, too, is not con? fined to our own County, but it is attract? ing the attention of parents from almost every section of the State. Messrs. Ligon <fc Reed, the Principals, are thorough scholars, with yeitra of experience, and when a boy Is put under their charge they know exactly how to train his mind. The recitation rooms are supplied with the latest improved desks, maps, &c, be? sides being well ventilated, comfortable and commodious. Parents who have boys to educate could do no better than place them in the Anderson Military School. The Anderson Female Seminary Com? mencement. The Fifth Annual Commencement of this deservedly popular educational in? stitute came off last week, embracing Thursday evening, Friday morning and Friday evening. The occasion had been the talk of the town for several weeks prior, and of course the friends and pupils of the Sem? inary looked forward to tho time with pleasant anticipations. With each suc? ceeding year the interest in these aunual demonstrations seem to be on the increaso, and the attendance of visitors from a dis? tance this year was larger than any pre? ceding year. The exercises were held In tho Baptist Church, which had been kindly tendered Gen. Ayer for that purpose, theSoininarj' buildings being inadequate to accommo? date the crowd. According to tbe Pro? gramme Ibo exorcises were to begin at Si o'clock, but long boforo that hour on Thursday evening crowds of people were wending their way to the church, eaoh one desirous of getting the best seat pos? sible to witness the exercises. When the hour arrived for the opening of the exer? cises, every available seat in the edifice was occupied, and those who arrived late had to stand up. A large temporary rostrum had been erected between the pulpit and the pews. On the wall in the rear of the rostrum, in bold letters, were the words, "Anderson Female Seminary?Excelsior." The flo? ral decorations above and around the ros? trum gave evidence that dextrous hands had been engaged at work there. The whole arrangement was very neat and tasty. Immediately in front of the ros? trum sat the pupils of the Seminary, each of whom looked as pretty as a pink. The exercises were opened with a fer? vent prayer by Rev. J. W. W?lling, The first thing on the programme was the rendition of the beautiful Cantata, "Faith, Hope and Charity," which was participated in by the little girls?about thirty in number?of the Primary De? partment. Miss Nellie Towers, a charm? ing little lassie, was the Queen, and was attended by a number of beautiful Maids of Honor, each of whom sang their part in a manner that attracted the admiration of eaoh spectator. The Cantata was ex? ceedingly interesting and highly enjoyed by the large audience. At the conclusion of tho Cantata, Gen. Ayer stepped forward, and, in a few ap? propriate remarks, introduced Rev. T. P. Bell, who had been invited to address the young ladies of the Etocbean Society. Mr. Bell said he appreciated the compli? ment for having been seleotod as ths orator for the first anniveraarj' of the Society. Tho sceno before him made him wish that he wero a bey again. He an? nounced for his subject "The Girl of the Poriod," which ho discussed in an elo? quent, scholarly manner. He said that the girls of to-day hud better advantages, and wero more ouligh;cned than their moth? ers, There was no excuse for a girl to grow up ignorant, and jf she failed t-Q secure her portion of kuowledge it was her own fault. He urged the young la? dies to keep posted in tho current events of the day. Many of them perhaps would have to right their own battle through life, and they should bo prepared for it. The true girl of our period wa9 tho Independent girl, and sho should bo encouraged. The girl who know how to use the tolegraph key was just as worthy as the one who tipped tho ivory keys of tho piano. Tbe address was replete with sound, practical advico, and doubtloas made a deep impression on the minds of every nearer. Mr. Boll's address was followed by an instrumental trio, "Hallelujah Chorus," by Misses Hatlie iloko, GussieSitlonand Lillie Moore This was followed by an instrumental solo, "Schorz-i," by Miss Verna Ayer. Gen. Ayer then delivered prizes to Misses Emily Divver, Mamio Barr and Carrio Morse for proficiency in various studies. Miss Lnhih Ayer rendered a vocal solo, "Tho Message," which was followed by an instrumental sole, "Rhapsodic Hon groiso." by Miss Varina Brown. Next on the program mo was a vocal duet, '!Al(! could I Touch tho Nightin? gales," by Misses Lul?h and Verna Ay or. The evening's exercises closed with a beautiful rendition of "Allld Lung Syne," by n number of young ladies. The exercised of Friday morning con? sisted of tho reading of reports of the ex? aminations of the pupils, interspersed with beautiful selections of instrumental and vocal inw.->ie. The examinations of the pupils in their various studios had been rigid and thorough, and showed that they had made rapid progress, whieh was no doubt very flratifying to the pa? rents. On Friday evening the crowd in nttond auee was simply immense, there being scarcely standing room. Tb/i exercises opened promptly at the hour appointed, Rev. T. F. Gadsdcn lead? ing in prayer, after which that familiar and ever beautiful snug, "Annie Laurie," was rendered by the vocal claws in a most entertaining manner. This wan followed hy an instrumental trio, "AlHjehe do < 'indrillon," by Minxes Adelt? ltyysor, Olive Brown and Irene Goodman, and nu instrumental duet, "Overture to Light Cavalry," by Misses Annie Hell and Xellic Towers. Gcu. Ay er then introduced Judge Lo? gan E. Blecklcy, of Goorgia, to the audi euce. Judge Bleckloy recited an original poem on the subject of "Woman." He consumed nearly an hour, during which time the audience was most highly enter taiuoJ. It was ouo of the most remark ablo productions we have over listened to, abounding with beautiful thoughts, pa? thos and humor. It is impossible fur us to give a synopsis of the poem, but wo will endeavor to get Judge Bleekley to give it to us for publication at au early day. An instrumental duet, "A Winter's Tale," was next rendered by Misses Hut tie Hoke and Gussle Silton, followed by a vocal solo, "Watching," by Miss Luluh Ay er. Gen. Ayer stated that as it was growing lute be would huvo to dispense with the balance of the musical programme. Ho then proceeded to read the essays of the young ladies of the graduating class on the subjects named, as follows: MissVnrina Brown?"Christian Clvili zation;" Miss Lois Watson?"Mind and Heart." Miss Lnlah Ayer?"The True Aim of ah Education." Miss Lucillo Nirdin?"Classical and English Literature." In their essays these young ladies oviticed a high grade of intellectual attain? ments, at the same time showing a thor? ough mental training. Tho essays wero written in an easy, graceful style, and the subjects treated In an able manner. Gen. Ayer, in a few interesting and ap? propriate remarks, presented the diplo? mas to tho graduates, who received them amid the applause of the audience. This terminated tho Fifth Annual"Com? mencement of the Seminary. Through? out the exercises wore very interesting and entertaining. The Seminary has closed the most suc? cessful session in its history, the roll of pupils numbering one hundred and forty. Such an educational institution is a credit to any community. Long may the Sem? inary live and prosper. Description of the Sandy Springs Cyclone. Mr. Editor: Asa matter of informa? tion to your readers, I will toll you in tho following what I Raw of tho cyclone on the 27th of May, and what I have seon since of its results: While standing In the door of J. W. Major's house on that evening about two o'clock, I saw three cloud; moving in different directions, ami when they met over T. E. Diukfton's home, as they seemed to nie*tho wholo mass of clouds or tho blackness turned toward the earth. It was a grand, but a fearful scene. It looked like a monstrous elephant falling. The moment it struck the ground the work of destruction began. It did not strike the ground with much force until it had passed T. L. Roids's residence, where it commenced its terrible execution. Its direction was from a little south of west to a little north of cast. The cyclone blow down every one of the outbuildings on J. W. Major's plantation, except a tenant house that was entirely out of its path. It also blew the most of the roof off of tho dwelling houso and injured, to a considerable extont, the iuside work. Every thing in the house, very nearly, was exposed to a hard rain, which im? mediately followed the wind. Thore was also a hard rain with the cyclone. The wind blow down the most of tho out? buildings for Messrs. D. A. and Andrew Elrod. Tho top of Andrew Elrod's house was partly blown off and a tonant house torn down to the sills, every thing In it, owned by Jas. McClue, was utterly ruined. Some ono ought to help a little. Mr. Andrew Elrod had a buggy litorally torn to atoms. It was not a lino ono but a good ono. Whilo tho cyclone only blow the tops off of two of R. B. Brock's outbuildings, yot it did him very great damage in blowing off his young cotton, and the line timber it blew down. It destroyed about a bale of cotton for D A. Elrod, two for R. B. Brock, one for Mrs. J. W. Major, one and a half for Andrew Elrod. For the samo persons the cvclone almost ruined their orchards. On J. W. Major's place, five largo Juno apple trees, heavy loaded with fruit, were blown clonr up by tho roots. Others suffered considerable loss. Mossrs. Peter and John McPhail, J. M. Blackman and Kay. Fortunately for tho most of thoso over whom this cyclone passed, it did not touch tho earth. It kept itsolf moro In tho atmosphoro than auy I have ever Keen. There is no doubt as to whether it was a cyclone, for it had tho rqtary move? ment. When any one sees tho width and j direction of ouo of these storms. It is too late, let mo tell you, to run out of the way. If you aro already out side, why it is no trouble to keop out. Its ralo of i travel was about 120 to 140 miles per hour. | Its width was about ono-sixth of a milo, Mr. D. A. Elrod's family was not at home. Mrs. J. W. Major and sou saved their livos, perhaps, by getting into their cyclone pit. Mr. Andrew Elrod's family went into tbolr cellar. I don't believo any man can keep from being somewhat uncomfortable while a wind of this kind is going over. The iiolso was like unto a thousand reapers. It Is a ?sol'ilely won? derful that no oiut go: hurt. Tht! HintilfV were blown to tii>- Kills from over Un. J. W. Major's horse ami mill, and imithi-r wore hurt ?erioiisly. I would, in Un name of all so badly damaged in lim recent cyulotie, thank the community for their generosity and kindness toward them. I also hope, that I may never be an e3'e-witnes."i to another srtch wind. M. H. Majok. There will be a grand Skntiug Carnival at Moore's Rink on Wednesday evening, 18th inst.
