BRIEF MENTION.
The supply of corn in the town of An
derson is exhausted, and our railroad COM
munication is cut of, so that We cannot OBJ
tain it without much trouble.

town visit on last Monday and Tuesday
nights. The exhibition, we learn, was very
good but received very small patronage.

banon Grange, No. 266, request us to an
nounce that the pic mic proposed to be given
by their Grange, has been indefinitely post
poned, on account of the recent disastrous
rains and storms.
We would call attention to the advertise
ment of Messrs Richards & Wilson, in which
they announce that the Pendleton Factory
Wool Cards are now in operation. Persons
wishing wool carded can be accommodated
by carrying it to the Factory. They also
have rolls and Factory Yarn for sale.
See the advertisement of Messrs. J. & ]. r.
Wilson, in which they announce that they
are now ready for wool carding at their mills
near Williamson. They had their mill in
running order for grinding wheat and corn
within two days after the treshet, affording
their patrons fine yield in quality and
quantity.
Capt. James A. Hoyt, of the Inteuigencer,
left on last Thursday for st. Louis, to attend
the National Democratic Convention, which
convened on the 9th instant We hope he
will return with q cheering account Of the
prospects of victory, under the lead of such
man as Samuel ]. Tlden, of New York,
for the Presidency.
We regret to announce the death of little
Eugene, son of Mr.. W. II. Cater, whose

There is to be large fishing party on
Rocky River next Saturday, to be composed
of gentlemen and their families from An
derson and vicinity. We learn that they
propose frying the fish they catch, but they
propose to provide against contingencies by
carrying basket dinner. Every one will
be obligated to fish at least three hours, so
there will be severe infliction upon those
who have poor luck.
Much of the bottom land upon which
corn was washed away in the recent freshet
have been replanted, and the farmers are
still busily engaged in rep1anting and re-
pairing their damages. They have evinced
a cheerfulness and energy in their misfor-

and it is to be hoped their industry will reap
an ample reward, and much of the damage
be repaired by an abundant crop year.

the bridges over Eighteen Mile Creek were
washed away. The bridge at the Pendleton
Factory, on Three and Twenty Greek, was
also washed away, and the one on the Pen

Mile Creek has been rebuilt and the one
