We find the following in one of our es? teemed exchanges, and, as it equally ap? plies'to Anderson, we appropriate it as our sentiments: '"When any one says there is a better place, or prettier girls elsewhere, than in Anderson, every potato slyly winks its eye, every cabbage ebakes his head, every beet gets red in the face, every onion feels stronger, every when shock strokes its beard, corn sticks op its ears, and every foot of land denounces tbe statement by kicking." The Jellico (Tenn.) ,Advance-Sentinel says: "The survejors for tbe Black Dia? mond railroad started out this week in two squads. One company begins at a point on tbe left road south of Knoxville and proceeds southward, while the otbor be-" gins on tbe belt line near Fountain Ctty and proceeds westward. It will be several days before tbey reach this place. But yon may look oat for them, they will be here. Boone means to build tbe road or die in tbe attempt..

The fire was evidently tbe work of incendiaries, kero? sene oil having been used ander tbe house The loss is about $2.500 ; no insurance."

E Seybt, in this city, on Wednesday, Hth inst., Mrs. Elizabeth Seybt, after an Illness of only six days, bor death was a shock indeed to her relatives and friends, for many of them had not even heard of her illness, which at first was not considered serious. Her children, who lived at a dis? tance, did not reach her bedside before bor death. Mrs Seybt was a Mips Heough, and a native of Newberry County. She was the motberof soven children, of whom three sons and two daughters are living Her husband, Mr. George Seybt preceded her to the grave many years. She was Gl years old- Mrs. Seybt was of a gentle, re? tiring disposition, and wherever she was known she was greatly beloved. She wa? a devoted member of the Methodist Church, and was constant in her atten? dance upon its services. Absolutely un? selfish, she often denied herself to accom? modate tbe needy, and was ever ready to do any noble deed in the name of the Sa? viour, whom she loved to serve. On Thursday her remains were carried to Po maria, in Newberry County, and interred at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Rev. J. A. Sligh conducting the funeral services. We join the many friends of Mr. U. B. Seybt, of this city, in tendering him our sympa? thy in his bereavement. The Gainesville Georgia Cracker of last Saturday says: "Mr. W. A. Holland, who lives at Candler, in this County, happened to a very painful accident Tuesday after? noon of this week. Be had been acres the river on business and was returning in a road cart to town. Near Shallow Ford the cart tipped over in the road and Mr. Holland was thrown out, falling under the shafts. The horse attached to the vehicle became frightened and began kicking. He struck Mr. Holland a terrible blow just over the right eye, inflicting a fearful look? ing gasb. As Boon an Mr. Holland could extricate himself he came on to town, a distance of some four miles, and Dr. Ham attended to his hurt." Mr. Holland's many friends in this (his native) County will regret to hear of hiB accident, and will join us in wishing him a speedy recovery. Hartwell M. Ayer, of Charleston, editor of the State Handbook, is in the city for the purpose of interesting the business men of Anderson in .be work and adver? tising the resources ol' this section. Mr. Ayer is particularly anxious to secure a representation for Anderson in the book, because, as be says, Anderson has really more to offer to capital and immigration than any town in the State. The plans of the work were shown to a meeting of the Board of Trade Monday afternoon and were heartily and unanimously endorsed after a thorough examination. The Board appointed a committee to lay the matter before City Council acd ask the necessary appropriation, which was done at a special meeting of Council yesterday. Counoil did not see its way clearly to making the appropriation, and the matter falls back upon the Board of Trade. This is the first work of the kind ever issued by the State, and mav be the last, certainly for many years. It is issued to supply a great and growing demand for imformation in regard to the South, and it is to be hoped that the Board of Trade will succeed in its efforts to have Anderson fitly represented. It is a work that has received the endorsement and support of leading towns and busi? ness men of the State, and is generally ap? proved. The Board of Trade Committee will take further action this week. Reunion at Sandy Springs. Mr. Editor : On last Wednesday, 14th August, I had the pleasure of attending the 15th annual reunion of the survivors of Orr's Regiment Rifles, at Sandy Springs. There were not a large attendence of sur? vivors or of spectators, but energetic steps were taken to insure the presence of a large number of both at the next meeting. After the transaction of some routine business, Maj J. N. Vandiver, President of the Association, requested Judge Cotb ran to open the meeting with prayer. I have never heard a more appropriate or eloquent prayer. Col. B. F. Cray ton de? livered a warm and hearty address of wel? come to the survivors, the visitors and the members of other commands present. To this, Col. J. B. E. Sloan, the old com? mander of the 4th S. 0., replied in fitting and feeling term*. Then Maj. Vandiver introduced as "the old war horse," Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, who gave the survivorB a stirring speech, reviving the memories of war days, and then made an eicquent ap ? peal to them to build a monument at An? derson to their dead comrades. Col. Hoyt was followed by M. L. Bon ham. who spoke as the representative of the Younger Generation, and joined Col. Hoyt in urging upon the veterans, their sons and daughters, the sacred duty of up? holding the hands of the noblewomen who are laboring to build a monument to our dead heroes. Then Judge J. S. Cuthran was intro? duced, and it is only justice to Bay that bis speech was simply grand. A synopsis cannot be given without injustice, and I cannot reproduce the whole speech. It dealt principally with the part played by this splendid regiment in the second battle of Manassas, where it enacted noble deeds, and made a glorioua record. The Associ? ation ought to get Judge Cotbran to write out this Bpeeob and have it published. After taking up a collection for a dis? abled veteran tue Association adjourned, and everybody joined in an elegant and bountiful picnic dinner. Mrs. Orr, the widow of the illustrious son of Anderson who organized the Regi? ment, and commanded it until elected to the Confederate Congress, and Mrs. Led better, the widow of the Lieut -Col. of the Regiment, who was killed at Second Ma? nassas, were both present, and always are present on thene occasions. It was a delightful day, and next year it will be greater and grander. By that time let ub have the monument built, and have a reunion of all the old veterans of Ander? son County at the Court House.

Convicts in the Michigan State prison are allowed to keep birds, and as a result of this there are fully 000 feathered song sters in the prison, all owned and cared for by the prisoners.
