In ye olden time a liar was legally pun? ished by having a hole bored through his tongue. If this were the custom now, there are men whoso tongues would re? semble porous plasters. The 1st of April and tho 1st of Novem? ber are tho dates between which it is made unlawful to kill or catch doves, partridges or wild turkeys. The sports? men should make a note of this.

Jones, of Anderson. We wore pleased to have a call last week from our old friend, Mr. H. D. Reese, of Abbeville. Dobson wore the same old happy smile and looked as natural as an old shoe. His many friends were glad to see^im in Anderson. Young man, if you haven't the courage to tuk the young lady to- take your arm, don't seize her by the wiug and walk her along as though you were a policeman and had her in custody. It looks bad; besides, she may have been just vacci? nated. You cannot be too careful about fire at this" season. Burn out your chimneys when it rains. Do not carry fire to fields and leave so it will set the woods on fire. The man who burns his neighbor's woods or old fields through carelessness is liable for the damage caused by the fire!

The ladies of the Methodist Church will give a Dining and "Pink Tea" on to? morrow (Friday), in the Temperance Hall. Everything will be In readiness by 1 o'clock p. m., and the ladies will be glad to wait on all who will attend.

In connection with the above, there will bo on exhibtion an Art Gallery. The proceeds of the entertainment will be used as a supplement to the new church fnnd. Be sure to attend. The Laurensville Herald says it does not believe that the law regulating the giving of certificates to persons by a phy? sician for the purpose of buying whiskey from a druggist, is gei 'tly known or understood by the m- al fraternity. The Revised Statutes of t^is State (Sec? tion 1751) says that it shall be unlawful for any physician to give a prescription for spirituous liquors, except when ac? tually in bona fide attendance upon a patient, and any physician violating this law shall, upon conviction, be fined in a sum not less-than $200 or imprisonment for not less than three months. Albany (Ga.) News: "She was a re? markably sensible young lady who made the request of her friends that after her decease she should not be buried by the side of a brook, where babbling lovers would wake her from her dreams; nor in any grand cemetery, where sight-seers, conningjover epitaphs, might distract her, but be laid away to take her last sleep under the counter of some merchant who did not advertise in the newspapers. There, she said, was to bo found peace surpassing all understanding?a depth of quiet slumber, on which neither the Bound of the buoyant foot of youth nor the weary shuffle of old age would over intrude." The Young America Cornet Band, ac? companied by a number of citizens, sere? naded Judge Witherspoon last Friday evening. The Judge responded to the call of the crowd, after two or three airs from the Band, and, in a few appropriate remarks, thanked them for the compli? ment paid him. After another piece from the Band, Hon, M. F. Ansel, of Green? ville, was called for aud responded in a neat little speech. At the conclusion of Mr. Ansel's remarks, Mayor Tolly was espied by the crowd, and he was called out. He responded in his usual happy style, and in his remarks paid a very high compliment to both Judge Witherspoon and Mr. Ansel. The February Term of the Court of General Sessions, which ended last Satur? day afternoon, was a most laborious term. The juries were engaged up to Friday night in the trial of civil cases, none of which involved a largo sum. Judge Witherspoon displayed considerable pa? tience iu the trial of the cases, and made a most favorable impression upon our whole people. Tho dockets were not cleared, and a number of cases were con? tinued. The Court expenses aggregated $816.70, divided as follows : Grand Jurors, ?93.60; Petit Jurors, $475.50 ; Constables, ?123.00; State Witnesses, $99.75; Defend? ants' Witnesses, $4 85; two Medical Ex? perts, $20.00. Prof. Lewis Boss, of the Dudley Observ? atory at Albany, N. Y., has made the dis? covery that the comet seen at Paris on the first of December, is slowly increasing in brightness. Tho increase will continue slow until April 1, when it will begin to be much more rapid, and by the middle of the month will become visible to tho naked eye. Two weeks lator it will reach its maximum of brightness, when its ap? pearance will bo much like that of 1882, and be visible all night. It will also, as that of 1881, be seen in the Western sky. When nearest the earth it will only be 12,000,000 miles distant. It will retain its brightness until May 15, when it will gradually fade from tho vision to appear later to the people south of the equator. Little Alice, the bright and beautful in? fant daughter of Mrs. H. P. Sloan, died from pneumonia at her mother's resi? dence, in this city, on last Monday, aged fourteen months, and was laid to rest in tho Presbyterian Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, besido the remains of her father, tho late Mr. Baylis Sloan, whose decease some twelve months ago was so sincerely regretted by all who knew him. The Rev. T. F. Gadsden conducted tho appropriate services of the Episcopal Church at the funeral. The bereaved family have tho sympathy of our commu? nity in tili.? affliction, which takes from them a treasure which, in its beauty and innocence, gladdened their home and commanded their interest aud love. Tho little child of earth has gone to bo ayi an? gel in Heaven. Mr. Neb. L. Fant, Anderson's efficient and accommodating Assistant Postmas? ter, received notice last Tuesday of his' appointment as route agent between Co? lumbia and Walhalla, vice Thos. A. Sulli? van, removed. He is ordered to report at Columbia, and will leave to-day for that city, where he will be sworn in, and will at once enter upon his duties. Mr. Fant is an excellent young man, and will make an efficient route agent. V. bile we regret to see him leave Anderson, we congratu? late him upon his appointment. Tho salary of his position, for the first six months, is at the rate of 8800 per annum. At the end of that time, if he passes the necessary examination, ho will receive $1,000 per annum. Postmaster Webb has appointed Miss Lucille Nardin to succeed ' Mr. Fant in the Postoffice. Miss Nardin is an accomplished young lady, and will discharge the duties of her position in a most satisfactory manner. Arrested by the Sheriff. On Monday night Sheriff Bolt, in conse? quence of information which he had re? ceived, surrounded tho house of Mr. W. J. Bowen, in Rock Mills Township, and requested permission to search tho house for Mr. J. E. Moorehead, who is charged with being one of the parties who did the shooting on the plantation of Mr. S. L. Gray, some weeks ago in the night-time. Permission was granted, and an unavail? ing search was made, after which the party left. Upon going off the Sheriff obtained information that Moorehead was certainly there, and his attention was attracted by what sounded like a volley of guns fired in the direction of Mr. Bow en's house. Tho parly n turned at once and surrounded the house, and while there saw Moorehead through one of the windows up stairs. The Sheriff deman? ded him of Mr. Bowen, and Moorehead ran out at the back door, and was caught after a chase for perhaps a quarter of a mile. He appeared before Trial Justice Whitfiold oa Tuesday, and gave bond in the sum of- four hundred dollars for his appearance at Court, Mr. Bowen going his security. Moorehead lives in Georgia, aud claims that he can abundantly es? tablish his innocence of the charge made against him. A Terrific Explosion. On Wednesday morning at a little after two o'clock a m., one of the most terrific explosions occuired in the store room ocenpied by Mr. J. J. Dodd, on South Main Street, that has ever been known in Anderson. Its force shook lue houses like an earthquake foi half a mile around, and the report waked many of our citi? zens. The matter is shrouded in some uncertainty, but the generally accepted theory is that a fire caught in the store room from some unknown cause probably mice and matches?and burned until it communicated to a can which contained from four to six pounds of gun-powder- Just where the powder can was kept, the force of the explosion was greatest. It demolished Mr. Dodd's whole stock, which consisted of about two hundred dollars worth of confectionery supplies, andjblew out every door, win? dow and window sash in the room, which was 25x98 feet with a twelve foot ceiling. The doors and sash.wore blown complete? ly to pieces, and tho over head ceiling and moulding were badly damaged as was also the floor in some measure. Below this room was a basement room of the same dimensions, and remarkable to state, the explosion which had blown the doors and windows out from the ground floor had a reverse effect down stairs, and sev? eral of the windows and both doors wore crushed into the re uo, and its ceiling was in places crushed in. In the second story, or up stairs room, which is likewise of the samo dimension, the effect of tho explosion was similar to that in the base? ment, though the effects were more appa? rent. Tho windows and doors were crushed in and the flooring bursted in several places. The wash boards were torn from the walls, and in several places the force of tho explosion ran along the seams of the ceiling, shivering it in a line about a fourth of an inch wide like a stroke of electricity had passed along' it. Tho building, which is a brick structure, was bulged on its front wall perceptibly, and may be otherwiso injured. It belongs to Mr. John O'Donnoll, and is fully cov? ered by insurauce. Mr. Dodd had no insurance. After the explosion, the lire was extinguished with a few buckets of water bofore the engine reached the burn? ing, though the firemen wero promptljr on hand and ready for work. It is gener? ally thought that the explosion saved the building from burning. Religious Notice. The Quarterly Conference for the West Anderson Circuit will bo held at Provl ' dence Church next Saturday and Sunday, March 13th and 14th. Let all the mem? bers of the Conference be present with us. Brethren, come and stand to your post of duty. Your brother, T. G. Hurbert, P. E. Helton Items. Belton is always up with tho latest im? provements. Last year the enterprising men, Rice Bros., built nn oil mill, but ow? ing to the limited capacity of thoir storage, did not make a large quantity of oil. This year, however, thej* are making a fertilizer out of meal on hand. It promi? ses to be largely used next year in this section ; so tho mills will shortly be en? larged and work begun next Fall on a much larger scale. There is a great deal of attraction here, as the young men of your city will verify. Four of them were with us last Sunday. Last week a car of negroes passed up the road for Arkansas. They came from the lower and central part of tho State. It is time for the negro to look at this as Am country, and to settle down, determin? ing to make an honest living. Until this is done, the element will be one of pov- j orty. W. E. B. "Just as well sing psalms to a dead mule" as to talk to people who will not even give a new man a look.

Hunter of Fish Pond, B un well County, last year made eighteen barrels of cuno syrup?eight hundred and ten gallons?on two acres of land. Deputy United States Marshal lt. S. Rutledgo made a raid on u party of illicit distillers eight miles below Westminster on Thursday morning and captured threo hundred gallons of mash which was ready to be worked. The still had been removed. He.also captured Dock Gray, who is supposed to be one of tho party. We clip the following from tho Colum? bia Record: "'The Commissioner of Agri? culture is sending out thermometers and blajiks for reporting the condition of the wr ,her to the farmers who have been apj.. inted to make the tobacco experi? ment in the various counties. Farmers who desire to competo for the $100 pre? mium offered by tho department to tho farmer reporting the best results in to? bacco culture arc requested to write tho Comm. oner for instructions.'' Bishop kcevor has directed Rev. R. P. Franks, who weut from Marion Street Church to Cheraw at the beginning of tho present conference year, to take charge of Sumtcr Church, in place of Rev. Manning Brown, whose disability compelled him to give up his work about a month ago. The congregation at Cheraw, however, is so well pleaded with Mr. Franks, that they have forwarded a strong protest to the Bishop against his removal. J. D. Turner, has two Chinese coins, brought from Chjna by a missionary; that ho wears upon his watchchain. The coin is made of brass, is about the size of a nickel, and has a square hole in the. cen? tre, and raised Chinese letters onthc sur? face. We could not interpret them but suppose they meant "In Joss wo trust." Tho value of tho coin is tho tenth purt of a mill, or the hundredth part of a cent, and will purchase in China a square meal of rice for one person, so its value is not so insignificant as a "Mellica man" would suppose? llartwcll Sun. There is a little boom in this direction. Land on the outskirts of tho village is be? ing sold for one hundred dollars an acre. Some think this is an extravagant price, others believe that a few years will prove the wisdom of paying such a rate. Of course, such purchases are intended for building purposes, for a man would bo foolish to expect to get valuo received if he intended to use such high priced land for farming, at least in this village and vicinity. The fact that land in the vicinity of Piedmont brings one hundred dollars per acre, demonstrates how valuable a manufacturing interest is to a communi? ty. Fifteen years ago this same land would#have been high at ten dollars an acre. At that time it was out in tho country ; now it is near a thriving village, convenient to stores, churches, &c.; hence the difference. Wo have been informed that land equally as good as this, and no further away from the center of the place, was offered for sale just before the close of the war for five dollars per acre in Confederate money. During the past ten years tho improvement in lands and houses within two miles of this village is very apparent. We asked the question of a fanner, how much he thought the far? mers in this vicinity had been benefited by the establishment of the Piedmont Mills. His reply was that many had been benefited fifty per cent. The in? creased value of some lands made a better showing even than this. These state? ments may bo of interest twenty-five years from this, and may be of some in? terest at the present time to those who are opposed to the State laws encouraging manufacturing enterprises by remission of taxes, &c?Piedmont correspondence En? terprise and Mountaineer. l'emberton'fl French Wiue Coca.
