Burgess, of Williamston, sailed in to see ns Tuesday and subscribed for the Intelligencer. He Informed us that a few days ago he slaughtered a pig, which was only eight and a half months aid, that weighed 304 pounds. This is, we believe, the largest pig for its age we aave ever heard of. Mr. Burgess thinks if he had kept it until it was twelve months old it would have weighed nearly 500 pounds. The pig was of mixed breed, the Berkshire, Poland China and Tersey Red being about equally repre? sented in it. On Tuesday afternoon as the train on the Savannah Valley Road was coming in ;he city an old negro woman came near being killed on the trestle near Mt. Tabor cemetery. She and another woman were walking down the track and had just started across the trestle when the train ?me in sight. They concluded that they sould reach the other end before the train would arrive at the trestle. The younger woman succeded in doing so. The old wo? man, however, was too slow, and seeing that the train was going to catch her, she jumped off of the trestle in order to save tier life. Where she j umped the trestle is not very high, but in jumping she struck 3ome of the timbers and was painfully hurt. On Wednesday morning, about 1 a. m., Mr. J. F. McGowan went into the Post office to post some letters, when he dis? covered that something was burning on the inside. He gave the alarm, and in a short time the firemen were on hand. Mr, E. P. Welch, Postoffice Clerk, who rooms on the Square, was among the first to hear the alarm and reach the building. He went in and with two buckets of water extinguished the fire, which had burned through the floor near the west wall. A few more minutes and the builfe ing would have probably been destroyed. The fire originated from a box of ashes, which had been taken from the stove the preceding morning and unintentionally left sitting on the floor. The damage is slight. The city authorities are now roady to sell lots in Silver Brook Cemetery, and by reference to an advertisement in an? other column it will be seen that the sale will begin on Monday, 12th inst., on which day all our citizens are invited to visit the cemetery and meet the Council there. The lots will not be auctioned off, but each lot, so far as the grounds have been laid off, will have its price conspicuously posted on it, and every citizen may take his choice. Of course, some of the lots are more desirable than others, and the price, therefore, will vary somewhat. Every person who desires a choice lot should, therefore, be present on the 12th inst. A public cemetery has long been demanded by our people, and now that our city fathers have supplied that de? mand, we think it the duty of every citi? zen to invest in a lot at once, and not put it off until some member of their family dies. The Council desire to continue to improve ike cemetery, and every dollar invested by our people in lots will be spent on the grounds. The location is certainly a most beautiful one, and if a large number of lots are sold at once, the money derived therefrom will enable the Council to soon make it one of the pret? tiest cemeteries to be found in the State. Alderman McGee, who is Chairman of the Cemetery Committee, has a plat of the grounds on exhibition at Means & McGee's store, and will take pleasure in showing it or giving any information con? cerning the cemetery to any of our citi? zens who may call upon him. Judge Pressley heard the case of tho State ex relatione John O'Donnell against the City Counoil of Anderson, on a writ of certiorari, last Friday night at Green? ville, W. S. Brown appearing for tho Council and G. E. Prince for Mr. O'Don? nell. The matter was carried before J udge Pressley by Mr. O'Donnell on the ques? tion of the right of a jury in the cases in which he had been convicted before the Mayor for selling liquors without license, he having demanded a jury and the May? or having denied that right, holding that the charter of the city does not provide for a jury. Judge Pressley decides that Mr, O'Donnell had the right to bo tried by a jury, IicuaiiHo llic charter gives Uio Mayor tho samo powers of Trial .1 ustices, and because parties tried before Trial Jus? tices have that right. Tho Mayor holds, and is sustained by some of tho best legal talent in Anderson, that the charter gives the Mayor the power to try offenses against the city ordinances, with tho'right to appeal to a full Council, and the right of a jury is not contemplated by tho char? ter. The matter, we learn, will go to the Supreme Court of the State, where we think it should go, in order that the mat? ter may be settled, so that future Coun? cils may know what the law is in such cases. Since the decision of Jndge Press ? ley, the Mayor, with a jury, has tried two other cases against Mr. O'Donnell for sell? ing whiskey, and in both cases a mistrial was the result. The Mayor seems untiring in the discharge of his duties in trying offenders, and we wait the result with some anxiety. Excursion Tickets.

The Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Com? pany celebrated its fourth anniversary last Thursday evening by indulging in an oyster supper at White's Hotel, and every one present voted it as one of the most pleasant evenings in their experience. The Independent Hook and Ladder Com? pany was present and participated in the enjoyment of the evening. At the appointed hour the Pioneers, to? gether with the Independents, formed in line in front of their hall on Granite Row, and, headed by the Young America Cor? net Band, marched across the Square to the hotel, where they were joined by their invited guests. The procession immedi? ately filed into the spacious dining-room, where they were at once made ready to devour the tempting bivalves. The party numbered about seventy-five, all told, and tho firemen, in their bright uniforms, presented, as they always do, a handsome appearance. Chief Di wer presided, and as soon as every one was comfortably seated, he called upon Rev. Dr. Frierson to say grace, after which the feast began. The gallant firemen soon evinced the fact that they knew as much about stowing away oysters as they do in subduing the fiery flames, and it was not long before everybody's appetite was satisfied. Cigars were then passed around, and then speech-making was in order. Mayor Tolly was first called upon, and respond? ed in his usual happy style. He was fol? lowed by Mr. L. E. Norryce, of the Inde? pendents. Chief Divver was next called upon, and then Rev. Dr. Frierson and Capt. J. B. Patrick, each of whom re? sponded in' an appropriate manner. Messrs. H. M. Ayer, C. F. Jones, J. N. Watkins, J. G. Cunningham, C. C. Lang ston, R. R. Todd, Foster Fant, E. C Fri? erson, J. M. Payne, J. W. Trowbridge and H. Schlapbach were also called upon in the order named, all of whom responded in a few appropriate remarks. At intervals during the evening delight? ful music was furnished by a band com? posed of Messrs. H. Schlapbach, Ben. Daniels, Sam. Trowbridge and J. W. Trowbridge. By 11 o'clock the repast was over with, and every one retired feeling that it was "good to have been there." Landlord White maintained his reputa? tion as a caterer, and many compliments were paid him for the excellent manner in which everything was prepared and served. May the Pioneers long live to celebrate similar occasions. Holland's Store Items. Dr. Claude E. Earle and Miss Fannie Warren were married at the residence of the bride's parents in Elbert County, Ga., on Wednesday, the 16th inst., Rev. E. R. Carswell performing tho ceremony. Dr. Earle and bride have our best wishes for a long and happy voyage through life's tempestuous seas. Wheat sowing is drawing to a close. There has been quite a quantity sown this fall. The recent cold snap and sunshine has made the late cotton pop open consider? ably, and it appears to be of a better quality than lato cotton generally is. The hooping cough, which has been prevalent in this section for tho past two months, is now convalescing. The gen? eral health of this community was never better. Thanksgiving day was not generally observed in this locality. Some did not even know that the day was appointed. Wild geese can be seen almost any day on the placid waters of the Savannah, but getting sufficiently near for them to feel the contents of your shot gun is the nice point. Seeing the little reminiscences related in last week's paper of Uncle Billy Holmes, brings to our mind one told us by an old citizen of this County.

Hall, Notary Public, at his residence, united Mr. James Hembrco and Miss Nancy Shaw, both of this County, in tho holy bonds of matrimony. A few weeks ago a stra nge coloied man passed through this community peddling jewelry, and, in the absence of Mr. Hen? derson Parnell, entered his house and stole four dollars in money and two pair of ear? rings. Part of the family returned in time to see the thief leave the house. Hot suppers have become quito numer? ous with the colored people, and are very noisome to the community. Should there not be a law against such gatherings ? Marrying and giving in marriago. So it was in the days of Noah and so it is now, and I recon will be until the end of time. Both young and old marry. One old gen tleman, over seventy years of age, mar? ried a week or so ago. Don't recon thoy ever get too old. Our young bachelor friend need not he discouraged.

One of our best citizens invited hands to shuck his corn on Thanksgiving Day, but he soon found out his mistake and waited a day longer. A certain youth in this community has taken his first shave and called on his best girl. He now begins to feel his impor? tance. Neal's Creek Sunday School is now call? ed upon to part with its beloved and faith? ful Superintendent, Mr. D. D. Gentry> who has decided to move into another locality. Mr. Gentry has served the School as Superintendent for the past two years, during which time it has flourished and been in a most prosperous condition. We regrot to give him up, but the best wishes of the entire School will follow him wherever he may go. Rev. D. Weston Hiott preached a most excellent sermon at Neal's Creek on Sun? day, the 20th November. We might fur? ther say that we never heard Mr. Hiott preach any other kind, for he is one of our ablest and most forcible speakers. Hoosier. Cherokee Items.

Healen, we took a hunt. We all were quite successful, with the exception of Brother Clements, who, child-like, devoted his time to chas? ing the buttor-fiy and grass-hopper. Corn-shuckings are very numerous this fall. We notice that tho "Little Brown Jug" is no longer passed around. So much the better. One night recently some fiend, in hu? man form, Visited Mr. Newt.

FOR twelvo years the New York Cask Store has enjoyed tho reputation of keep? ing the best stock and selling at the lowest prices. Since the opening of the New York House of Cohen, Arnstein & Bonn, at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 5Gth Street, the New York Cash Store has better facilities than ever of obtaining bargains, and that is one reason why M. B. Arnstein is doing such a big business this Fall. Another reason is his determination to lead in the lead, undorbuy and undersell, offer the best Goods for the least money, and at all times give his customers the benefit of his cheap purchases. FOR THIS WEEK the following Bargains will be offered: ?O pieces of beautiful Dress Goods?fine twilled or fancy designs, the filling guaran? teed to be pure wool?at only 12c a yard. 25 pieces of fine Tricot Flannels, in the new shades of green, navy, black, garnet, and brown, at only 20c a yard. 20 pieces of full yard wide Broadwale and English Suitings reduced from 35c to 25c a yard. 15 pieces of yard wide English Cash? mere?beautiful shades and fine textura? heretofore sold by all at 40c, now only 25c a yard.
