BRIEF MENTION.

We are glad to learn that young McGaha,
who was accidentally stabbed last week, is i'm
sproving.
There has been very little cotton brought to
market during the past week, and middling
sells to-day wednesday, at Ia to Is cents
Fishing parties are beginning to visit the
creeks in the vicinity of town; for what pur-
pose we do not know, as they never catch any
, fish.
For many days last week kites were in de-
mand. Even some of our merchants imagined
themselves boys once more, and indulged in
this amusement.
John Heron, an aged citizen of this County,
died at his residence, about eight miles south
of this place, on Saturday last. He was in the
77th year of his age.
The Governor has appointed Capt. Nathan
McAlister to fill the office of Census Taker for
Anderson County. He is authorized to ap-
point four assistants.
Copous showers fell on yesterday which laid
the dust, and tended greatly to further the
growth of vegetation. There may be some
chance for the gardens yet.
During the gale on Saturday last, N. X. Sui
!ivan e. Co.'S. sign was completely destroyed
We expect to see handsome one in the void
place ere long, and also one hung out in the
newspapers.
Sunday last was the most disagreeable day
of the season. The wind blew furiously from
the Northwest, driving clouds of dust along
the streets, much to annoyance of persons at
tending church.
Two Constables passed through town few
days ago, en- route for Abbeville, with colored
prisoner who had committed heinous crime
in that County some time ago. He was cap
tured in Pckens.
The Temperance cause is progressing finely in
Broadway section. About twenty-five new
members are to be received into Meals Creek
Division on Saturday night next. An inter-
esting time is expected.
Heavy frosts visited this section on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday mornings last, destroy
ing garden vegetables and injuring the fruit
and wheat crops Corn was also materially
injured, and vegetation of all kinds retarded.
, The third term Of the Carolina Collegiate In
stitute began on Monday last One hundred
and ten pupils are now enrolled, and the pros
poets of the institution are cheering The
present term will end on the third Friday in
July next, when the graduating exercises will
take place.
A touching epitaph, full of genuine feeling
and expressive meaning, reads as follows: HE
knew the value of an EDITORS time, and never
trespassed long upon it. Peace to his ashes.'
We will take pleasure in recording this senti-
ment in memory Of every deserving friend,
and feel willing to survive them for that pur-
pose.
We are indebted to the committee of arrange
ments for an invitation to attend Pic Mic at
the Saluda Mills on Saturday, 1st of May next
given by Miss Alice j. Cannons school. Other
engagements will deny us the pleasure Of at
tending, we fear, and we can only wish the
young people happy enjoyment Of the fostiv-
tiles.
We saw in town OH Tuesday morning last
Mr.. John II. Clarkes new and beautiful sew
ing machine wagon, the work Of Messrs. j. l..
; FAINT e. Co., of this place. This wagon is a
first-class. specimen of workmanship, painted
in the neatest style, and will enable Mr.. Clarke
!
SCALE as it will contain number of machines.
Look out for the new wagon.
We learn that kerosene cans are put to more
uses than one, since they are used nowadays
to carry whiskey in. During the war coffee
pots were used for this purpose, but the kero-
sine can invention is the best of the two, since
no remarks will or can be made about young
man seen with one, while there would be
some gossip were he to travel around with a
coffee pot, bottle or jug in hand.
The recent changeable weather ought to adj
monish every one that sudden changes of dress
are full of danger. The charming weather
, which preceded the late cold snap may have
, tempted some to doff winter apparel too has
tily, and there is no season of the year more
productive of disease than spring, especially
to the imprudent and careless. Wear your
winter clothing until there is no longer any
doubt that spring has come to stay.
We are glad to observe that the owners o.
property OH Granite Row are beginning tc
, alter the appearance of tho entire front, by
having it painted beautiful granite color, and
then pointed or striped, so ~ to resemble
blocks of the natural stone. When finished
f this will greatly add, not only to the looks O.
the property but also to it's value The work
has been commenced on the store of n. X
5 Sullivan g. Co., and is expected to be continued
5 until the whole row is finished.
The Newberry Herald, on the authority O
Aunt Betsy Duckett, living on Enorce River
progn0sticates frost or two during the month
of May. Aunt Betsy says she observed two
fogs in the old twelve days, which are indubi
table evidence of frost at the period named. In
: her long and varied experience these signs
never failed; so farmers, gardeners and plant
lists generally may prepare for the event. Sucl
gloomy predictions are enough to discourage
the most ardent and sanguine truck producers
Lebanon Division, No. 81, Sons of Tempe
rance was instituted on Saturday last by Depu
ty Grand Worthy Patriarch A. B. Towers, as
, sisted by James III. Sullivan, acting Deputy
