An unrcpealed law of New Jersey, passod while the State was a British colo? ny, reads as follows: '?Thatall women of whatever age, rank, profession or degree, whother virgins, maids or widows, who shall afcer this Act impose upon, seduce and betray into matrimony any of His Majesty's subjects by virtue of scents, cosmetics, washes, paints, artificial teeth, false hair or high-heeled shoes, shall in? cur the penalt3' of tho law now in force against witchcraft and like misdemean? ors." The Elberton, Ga., Gazette truthfully remarks: "Boys like to assume the de? meanor and habits of men. By a fatal impulse, however, they fall into the bad rather than the good habits of their elders. They feel that they have won their spurs wbon they havo conquered the nausea? ting influence to tobacco and thoroughly onjoy a cheap cigar. They aro heroes when slang and profanity How glibly from their tongues, and their ambition soars in many instances to no highor point than tho top boots, rdoucli hat and the pistol of a bandit." The Legislature, at its recent session, amended tho game law so as to mako it read as follows: It shall not be lawful for any person in this State, betweon the 1st day of April and tho 1st day of Novem? ber, in any year hereafter, to catch, kill or injuro, or to pursue with such intent, or to sell or expose lor sale, any wild turkey, I partridge, dove, woodcock or pheasant; j and any person found guilty thereof shall be fined not less than $10, or bo imprison? ed not less than ten days, which fine, if imposed, shall go one-half thereof to tho informer and tho other half thereof to the school fund of tho County wherein tho offence was committed.

About 11 o'clock bo awoke and discovered that his bedding and tho floor were ablaze. Ho gave the alarm, but by tbo time assistance reached him the fire was past control.

Mr. John Sullivan, a prominent citizen of tho Fork Township, of this County, died at his resideuce quite suddenly on last Thursday, at about half past2 o'clock in the afternoon from paralysis of the throat and tongue.

He was a native of Greenville County, but removed to this County and married when a young man. He subsequently removed to Hart Coun? ty, Georgia, whero he resided for about eighteen years, after which ho again re? turned to this County. Mr. Sullivan was seventy-two years of age at the time of his death, He was an honorable and up? right man, and was for many years a consistent mombor of the Townville Bap? tist Church. Mr. Sullivan served in the Florida war in 1836, and in that service contracted asthma, from which ho has suffered ever since. His romains were interred in the Townville Cemetery on last Friday. Mrs. Eliza Robinson, relict of tho late Dr. John Robinson, who was the oldest lady in Anderson, died at her residence in this city on Wednesday night, the 13th inst, at 11 o'clock, having reached the advanced age of eighty-six years, lacking two days. Dr. Robinson was a prominent physician in Anderson and Pickens Counties, having resided at old Pickens Court House and at Pendleton. Ho died at the latter place about forty years ago, after which Mrs. Robinson moved to Anderson, where she kept a boarding house, maintaining and raising her own family and a family of grand children. She was an intelligent, kind and estima? ble lady, who had hosts of friends wherevor she was known. Mrs. Robin? son leaves a very large number of descen? dants, who are scattered over the upper portion of this and surrounding Status. Her remains wero interred in the Presby? terian cemetery on last Friday morning, after appropriate funeral services, conduc? ted by Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., in the presence of a large congregation of the friends of the deceased. There were four in the party. They were seated around a comfortablo firo in a popular resort for loafers, and the chief topic of conversation was tho recent freeze and what each had experienced. No. 1 remarked that be went out to tho well to draw a bucket of water, but be? fore ho could get it to the top the water had frozen into a solid lump of ice. No. 2 said that was a pretty good one, but he believed ho could beat it. He said that at his boarding house tho boarders could not drink their coffee, as it would freeze by tho time it left tho coffee-pot. The boys made a long sigh and silenco reigned for several minutes. No. 3 dually chimed in with the remark that he tossed a buck? et of boiling water into the air and it fell to the ground a lump of ice. Auother long silence followed, which was broken by No. 4, who said that before retiring one night ho took u drink of water, and while drinking it an icicle formed iu his throat and be came near choking to death. He said that had not his wife come to his rescue and pulled the iciclo out, he would have been doad in a few minutos. When he finished bis experience, some ofie said something about Annias's ghost appear? ing and the crowd vanquished immedi? ately. Mrs. Sarah B. Burriss died at the resi? dence of her husband, Mr. Win. Burriss, Sr., three miles West of this city on last Friday, the 15th inst., at two o'clock a. m., after an illness of six weeks. Mrs. Bur? ns was a daughter of the late Alexander Moorehead, Esq., of this County, who was a prominent surveyor and well known gentleman in the upper part of the State. She was a most estimable lady in all the relations of life. In the homo circle, and as a neighbor and friend, she was gentle, sincere and devoted. None ever applied to her in vain for help iu time of need, and the Christian acts of kindness and deeds of exemplary life will live in tho hearts of tho numerous reciprocants as a grander tribute to the virtues of tho de? ceased than can be reared in marble. Mrs. Burriss was at the time of her death in tho fifty-seventh j'ear of her age, and she had been for many years one of tho most devoted and useful members of the Salem Baptist Church. She leaves sur? viving her a husband and ten children, in whose bereavement the entire community sympathizes.

Plant it with the cane on, serving as a boot, wbic? will protect the plant from those borriblo pests, tho cut worms.
