He had been In feeble health I for/a long time and for the past six months | has been a great sufferer, baying be*n con? fined to his bed all tbat time. His remains "were iuterred in the Dorchester Church? yard oo Tuesday. Mr. Breazeale was a I eon of the late Griffin Breazeale, and was born, reared and alwsys resided in the section'where be died. A few years ago he met with a severe accident, while run? ning a thresher, which cost him his right arm. He was a model citizen, a kind, generous neighbor, and was highly esteem? ed by a wide circle of friends. He served through the war and was a brave soldier. He leaves a wife, four sons and three daughters to cherish his memory, and in .their sore bereavement they have the sym? pathies of all their friends.

C, sends as the following: "Tbe opening ball of Harris Springs Hotel occurred on last Friday evening and proved a great eucce^. It was made np of young gentlemen and ladies from Savannah, Charleston, Angus ta, Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, Laurens, Greenwood, Darlington, Walhal? la, and a half dozen other places, and last, but not least, one of Anderson's fairest, Miss Maggie Evans. It was an affair much enjoyed by all, and made up of most ele? gant dances and handsome men and pretty ladies and elegant dancers. Clark'* Band from Charleston furnished the music for the occasion, and elegant ransia it was, too. Mr. Harris has engaged it for the season, and it is expected that many more such pleasant occasions will be experienced by the ones summering at this delightful resort." Here is a good piece of advice, which we olip from an exchange, for the summer girl: "Your principal life-work, summer girl, is the study of summer boys. Let us help you with that. Beware of the bey who talks too much about himself or who hints at dark events In his life. Show scorn to the boy who tries to talk sbiut the amount he can drink or about the number of hours he can play poker. If a biy tells you tbat he smokes 1Q packages of cigarettes a day and inhales the smoke, remember that he is a good boy to let alone. Don't wind your ivy affections around the oaken heart of thebjy who spends money on you recklessly or beyond his means. Such a boy will some day spend his money on someone else while you rock the baby. Try to land the good natured boy, tbe boy who fights and gets over it, the boy that other boys are fond of, the boy who tells you your faults occa? sionally." Tickets are now on sale to the lecture to be delivered in the Opera House to-mor row evening by Rev. Thos. Dixon.of New York. In sppafeingof Mr. Dlxon's lecture, the Raleigh (N. C.) Daily Chronicle say9: "He spoke earnestly, eloquently, iropas sionately; words flowed from his heart and lips in a resistless current, carrying every? body along with the sentiments expressed. The speaker's whole soul seemed to be dissolving itself into what he was saying. His words seemed to burn into the very hearts of his audience. Their whole atten? tion was chained by the living thoughts nf the speaker, and they sat and gazed and listened as though under tbe influence of a mesmeric spell. At times the pathos and eloquence of the speaker were so deep?so strong, bo impassioned?that the irresisti? ble tears welled up and glistened in thou? sands of eyes?then, by the very magic of eloquence, he would swing them from the realm of sympathy into tbe regions of spontaneous and uncontrollable langbter. Never have the walls of Wingate Hull, nor any hall in this State or county, Bent back the eches of a nobler eloquence than was heard at Wake Forest to-day." Rev. Tnji Tokada, a Japanese minister, who recently graduated from the Presby? terian Theological 8eminary in Columbia, lectured in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning and evening, and was greeted at both services by large congrega? tions. His lectures were both interesting and impressive, and were highly enjoyed. He appeared in the pulpit in full Japanese dress that bus been in his family for more than a century. Mr. Tokada comes from a royal family, and his father was killed in a rebellion before he was born. Three clays after his birtb his mother was be? headed, and be was raised by an uncle. He received a collegiate education in his native land, and was converted and joined tbe Presbyterian Church before he gradu ated. Nine years ago he came to the United State? as a representative of the Japanese government to secure informa? tion as to our agricultural products, ma? chinery, etc. Three or four years ago he resigned bin position and determined to study for the ministry. Next November be will return to bis native land to preach tbe gospel, and will be supported by the First Presbyterian Church of Columbia. Court of General Sessions.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning was spent in taking testimony in the Sullivan trial, and on Thursday after? noon the arguments were begun. This consumed eight hours, four hours for each side. During the aigumeuts the Court? room was packed, and a large number of ladies were in attendants. Every argu? ment was a splendid one, and they were listened to with unflagging interest. The Jury retired on Friday at noon, and throughout tbe long, hot hours of the af? ternoon the anxious crowd awaited pa tientlv for tbe verdict. Sunset came and still there was no information from the Jury. Judge Aldricb granted a recess and everybody went to suppe<\ Tbe trial and the Jury were discussed by every indi? vidual, and various reports as to how the jury stO; d could be heard occasionally, but no one believed the report?. A large crowd lingered around tbe Court House until midnight, when tbe Jurors, by per? mission of the Court, were given posses? sion of the Court-room, the Deputies guarding tbe doors on the outside. When freed from the small room, several of the Jurors were seen to lay down as if to take a nap, and the opinion became general then among the outsiders that a mistrial would be the resnl1-. Early Saturday morning the Jurors went back into their little room, and the Court room was soon crowded again. Tbe people awaited par tiently, but it was evident that they were in a strain 9nd getting nervous. About 10.30 o'clock there was a knock from the inside of the room, and in a few seconds the Jary filed into tb^e Court amid jhG~Dtftir pfofoand silence. TErforeraan' stated that the Jury wished to have read over the t< quests to charge submitted by both the proftecntion and defence. This was done, his Honor consuming nearly an hour in carefully explaining each point mentioned. ThB Jury again retired, and everybody began speculating as to the result. After about two noun of consultation, the Jary again emerged from their room, and it was evident that a verdict bad been reached. The immense throng Beemed as if they were scarcely breathing, the silence was so profound. It took but a few mo? ments to go through the u -ual prelimi? naries, and when Clerk Watkins read the. words "not guilty" there wa9 a general roar of whoops and yells. Judge Aldrich demanded order, and ordered the Sheriff to arrest the applauders, but this, was im? possible. Capt. Sullivan was at once sur? rounded by his friends, relatives and attor? neys, each and everyone anxious to shake bis hand and extend their congratula? tions. And then came the devoted wife and daughter, and, as they embraced each other and the tears trailed their cheeks, there was scarcely a dry eye to be seen in the crowd Such a scene was never before witnessed, we venture, in a Court House. Words fail us to describe it. After the Jary had retired in the Sulli? van case tbe trial of John Johnson for murder was begun. The defendant was represented by Mr. J. H. Grant. Mr. Ansel for the 8tate. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty with recommendation to the mercy of the Court. Sentenced to the Penitentiary at hard lalor for life. George Wright entered a nlea of guilty to the charge of bousebreakLjg and grand larceny, and was sentenced to three months at h;?rd labor on the public works of An? derson Coantv. Wm. Davis plead guilty to the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, and was Eentencrd to nine years at hard labor, fhe case ngair.st Willis Hunter, who was indicted with Davis, was ml pressed by the Solicitor. The Jury returned a verdict of not ?uilty in the c^-se against Jesse Smith, in icted for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. Wm. Small and Thomas Cleveland, in? dicted for houss breaking and compound larceny, were found guilty and sentenced to eight months on tb? public works of Anderson C mnty. F. M Murphy, E-q , appn-ared for defendants. Tois case was concluded about three o'clock, and ended tbe Court of General Sessions. After adj mrnment for dinner the durt of Common Pleas was opened, and s-veral orders and judgments by de? fault were taken by the Attorneys. At seven o'clock the Court adjourned Sine die Society Happening'?. Tbe young folks are anticipating a de b'ehtful evening at tbe ball given in tbe Hotel Chiquola parlors tbis evening. 1 he music will be a charming attraction.

Mims Sullivan for bis home yonterday we called on him and f iund hirn busily engaged in making preparations for his return to Greenville, from which p'aca he has been absent and in prison here for more than twenty months. Capt. Sullivan was quite cheerful and, with bis always cordial grasp of tlie hand, begged us to be seated. Afcer extending our congratulations, we asked him if he objected to an interview rfgarding his stay in Anderson. In a very courteous m inner he rpplied: "Not at all, if not too lengthy. You sen lam pressed for timn, as my train leavo9 for Greenville at .'5 o'clock I his p. m." Well, Captain, prison lifo seems not to have m.\de you apparently any older, we remarked. "My friends tell me that I have stood it well, and I confess that I have B it how could it have been otherwise when every want was gratified by officers and friends. Of course, the confinement and separation from my family, friends and home was anything but pleasant Still I 1-al hope all along that justice would be given me when a fair and impartial tri?l was baJ, and I knew that such a trial the <?ood poo pie of Anderson County were going to give me, for this rev*on: S on after my first trial they had their eyes opened, and when this was done they went to work like a true people to undo their mistake of the pa3t Yuu see I am rieht about this, for tbey have done so. All they wanted was tbe opportunity. Tho opportunity did not come until last week, and now I am free." You bad many frl?nds while in prison, we believe, Captain "Oh, yes, on averaee of eeven or more ?a day, or about 4 COO callers diirirc the twenty months and four days that I was confined. I tell you, my friend, wore I to live a thousand years I could not get through thanking the good and noble people of your city and County for thtir goodness and kindness to me. I lovo them and always shall. I am glad y?~u called, and tbls opportunity, I apsure you, is most pleasant to convey my feelings of gratitude." Do you object to aayine anything re? garding your future plans, Captain ? "Well, really, my mind is so crowded with thoughts regarding this that I am not propared now to 8By anything defi nitely. However, I will say this much : Afcer getting home I shall first take a little rest from tbe fatigue of tbe past ten days, and then commence tbe consideration of a proposition of an investment in what I regard as a very promising mineral pros? pect in your County, and if I am not dis? appointed it is very probable that my re? turn here will not be very far in tli2 dis tant," Then yon think we have some mineral outlook in this County ? ?'From specimens and descriptions I have been furnished with led me to think so, I am sure." Here callers interrupted and we had to saygood-byo. Cant. Sullivan's big heart, beyond question, is full of admiration and devotion for tbe good and noble people of Anderson, and he desires us to say so. Ladies' Memorial Association.
