The FenIan picnic was held at jones' Wood

to the excellent arrangements made beforehand by
the committees who had the picnic in charge. The
St. Patrck's Legion made splendid show and
very fine parade through some OF the streets
before going to the Wood. They were very warmly
greeted by the crowds who lined the sidewalks to
see them pass, and green nags were abundant
along tho route. In the afternoon the legion was
reviewed and Orations delivered, after which the
festivities were resumed aud continued until late

Oun Stock QUorArroSs.-The great fluctuations
and uncertainty of value attendant on the COM
monest securities since the war make reliable and
regular quotations of great value to the public. We
are glad to announce, therefore, that we have made
arrangements with Mr.. A. C. KAUFMAN, of Char
lesion, to furnish us with weekly report of those
securities most important to our readers Mr.
KAUYMAN's quotations of Southern securities ap
pear regularly in the Financial Chronicle and the

Dow1E, MoIsE & DAv1s.-with the new year, VIC
observe that the well known Drug House in Char
lesion of DowIE & NOISE has changed the style o.!
its firm as above, and has gained q considerable
accession in the person of Mr.. VIM. c. DAVIS,
formerly of this place, whose numerous friends
will be gratifed 10 hear 6f his promotion. We are
well acquainted with oil the members of this firm,
and CON conscientiously recommend thea for en-
terprise and liberal dealing. Their business has
been steadily increasing, and their house now
ranks amongst the foremost among the list of hon
orable merchants in the good city by the sea-" In
referring to the change, the Courier says: "Alr.
DAVIS has been connected with the house for sew
eral years, and his many friends in all parts Of
South Carolina, well in adjoining States, will
be pleased to learn of this change in his fortunes
We know Mr. D. well, and can therefore say that
while We are glad to see him occupy his new posi-
tion, we know that he cannot work with more zeal
for his house than he has done hitherto"

FoR THE FARM, GARDEN, AND HousEHoLD.-We
can confndcntly recommend all our readers to
promptly provide themselves with the American
Aqriculturi,t for 1870. We have received the first
number of the 29th annual volume, and find it
filled with large amount of exceedingly practi-
cal useful information, not only on every subject
pertaining to soil culture, including the garden,
the lawn, and flower bed, and the care of the lit
tie plots of the city and village homestead, but al
so for the housekeeper, and the children. Many
excellent engravings, both beautiful and instruc-
tive, give additional interest to every number.
Taken altogether, the American Agriculuri't is one
of the most beautiful and valuable journals in the
world, adapted equally to city, village, and coun-
try, while it is marvel of cheapness owing to its
unprecedented circulation, which divides the cost
of preparation among SO many, that great deal
can be given to each. Terms, S1.50 q year; four
copies S5, or ten copies for Sl2 tits richly worth
all it costs and more. ORANGE JUDD Co., Pub

TIE PHOSPHATE BILL.

The Legislature has taken no action, since the
re.assembling of that body last week, on this i'm
portant measure. It is probable, from all that we
can learn, that the opposition will prove efectual'
and that the valuable river beds of phosphates
will be SO managed as to produce an extensive
revenue to the State. At least, we are confident
that the proposed monopoly will be failure, and
for once the Republican majority in the Legisla-
ture will gain the approval Of ell good citizens by
Wise and sensible course. In this connection,
we desire to applaud the conduct Of the Charles
tom Daily Republican, which has s.eadfastly refus-
cd to becme an abettor in this huge monopoly, and
on the contrary has dealt some of the heaviest
blows against it which the scheme has received
from any quarter.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD:

Mr.. DOYLE, of Oconee county, offered the fol-
lowing joint resolution in the House of Represen-
tatives on Monday last. 1t was referred to q
special committee of seven from the House and
three from the Senate:
Whereas the building of the Blue Ridge Rail
road has been favorite enterprise of the people
of South Carolina for twenty years, and the pres
ent General Assembly has sustained it, with IN
approximation to unanimity unsurpassed in the
annals of legislation on o ubjeot involving such
grave considerations and whereas the manage
ment of the affairs of said road have been such as
to elicit much inquiry, and to reflect on both the
Legislature and those who manage the affairs Of
said enterprise therefore, be it
Resoiued, by the House of Representatives, the
Senate concurring, That committee, to consist of
three members of the House, and two of the SEN

DEPARTED this life, on the. 25th day of De-
cember 1869, at his residence in this Town, MIR.
MILFORD BURRISS, in the 55th year OF his age.
The sadness produced by the death of this es-
teemed and useful citizen will long be felt by
many hearts. In no case, perhaps, has death
come more unexpectedly, or more forcibly sug-
eested to our minds the solemn declaration OF our
Lord, -"Therefore be ye also ready, for IN suoh
an hour as you think not the Son of Man cometh.
No man within the range of our knowledge SEEM
ed to possess in higher degree the elements OF
phy sical constitution which would encourage the
hope of long life, than did our departed friend.
Suddenly, however, and to the astonishment of
all, were these hopes crushed by the fatal stroke
which told but too plainly that his days upon
earth were numbered, being deprived of the pow
er of speech, as we'll as in part the use OF his
limbs. He remained speechless and helpless for
few days after the shock, and then passed into
the spirit world. 1t is not, however, atone !ne
suddenncss with which he was called away which
fills our hearts with sadness, but also the loss
which we have sustained. Industry and perse-
verance in his chosen pursuits were strikingly
characteristic of him from early life. To these
he attributed, under Gods blessing, the practical
knowledge and means which he had acquired, and
by which he could be useful to those around him.
But it is in another and more sacred relation that
his loss is more keenly felt. AS husband ne was
devoted and kind as father, affectionate, tender
and indulgent ever ready to consult the interests
and happiness of those thus committed to him as
a friend, he was ardent and confding; but while
our hearts are filled with sadness at the loss
which we have sustained in these respects ''we
sorrow not as those without hope" Several years
ago he made profession of religion and united
with the Anderson Baptist Church Subsequent
ly he removed his membership to church in the
country, where it remained until about three
years ago, when his wife and two daughters joined
the Anderson Church. He then brought his mem
bershp again to the Church of which he was first
o member, where it remained until he was re-
moved, as we trust, to the Church triumphant
where there is no more sickness, pain or death,
''and there is no night there, and they need no
candle, for the Lord God is the light of the City,"
and there is no more weeping. for God shall wipe
the tears from all faces, sand they shall hunger
no more neither thirst any more"
sAsleep in Jesus, blessed sleep
From which ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last OF foes"
