| o'clock. An invitation TO the Seherai pun
lie was extended from the pulpits of the
town on last Sunday. The lecture is fine
one, and will more than repay the attend
ance of those who may be fortunate enough
at any time to have the opportunity OF lis
tening to it. The subject is an interesting
one which should receive much more
thought and consideration tran is Usually
bestowed upon it by the public, and we
trust the lecture will have the effect of Sc
curing that attention for it.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier makes the fol-
lowing notice of Mr.. J. A. Daniels and his
burglar gun: "Mr. Daniels, of Anderson
S. c., arrived here yesterday and visited the
patent office for the purpose of securing
patent for a newly-invented attachment,
which he claims can be used upon any kind
of gun or pistol, and which will enable
any such weapons to do special duty against
"barglars." 1t can be attached or removed
at pleasure. Mr.. Aiken, understand, has
suggested an improvement which will en-
sure the desirable end that the gun shall
shoot burglars only and nobody else. If
Mr.. Daniels can sell one of his attachments
for every pistol and gun in South Carolina,
his fortune is already assured. desire to
advertise all concerned that I shall apply
for exclusive county rights in Edgefield and
Aiken"

Governor Simpson has appointed Mr..
William McGukin County Treasurer and
Mr.. Thos. ]. Webb County Auditor for
Anderson. These gentlemen have made
their bonds and forwarded them, after due
approval, to Columbia Their commissions
will soon arrive, and they will enter upon
the discharge of the duties of their respec-
tive Offices. While there are no objections
to the retiring officers, who discharged their
duties faithfully and efficiently, The ap-
pointments above mentioned give very gen.
eral satisfaction to the people, because they
carry out the will of the people in the ap-
pointment of the men who received the
highest vote for Treasurer and Auditor in
the primary election last fall. Mr.. Webb
has been Auditor for several years, and Us
such was most excellent and efficient off,
Ger, and Mr.. McGukin as Sheriff for eight
years has also shown himself to be faith
full and competent official, and will make
most acceptable Treasurer.
The marriage ceremony of Mr.. Charles
F. Jones and Miss Rosa ste. Webb was
performed in the Methodist Church Mt this
place by Rev. ]. E. Carlisle, on last Tues
day evening. 9th inst, in the presence Of
very large congregation of the people of
Anderson. The couple were attended by
the following ladies and gentlemen as
bridesmaids and groomsmen: Mr.. S. W.
Wilkes and Miss Ida Brown; Mr.. ]. M.
Cathcart and Miss Julia Webb; Mr.. w. A.
Vandiver and Miss Eva Nardin; Mr.. h. G.
Scudday and Miss Anna Bewley; Mr.. j. F.
Brown and Miss Kate Perry; Mr.. E. P.
Sloan and Miss Matte Benson; Mr.. R. c.

Church was appropriately decorated, and at
the conclusion of the ceremony the mar
riage party, accompanied by their relatives
and few invited guests, repaired to the
residence of Mrs. Webb, the brides mother,
and spent the evening in pleasant, social
intercourse. HAY their future life be onecf
continued happiness.
Mr.. J. A. Daniels returned from Wash
ington on last Tuesday, where he has been
to apply for letters patent for an attach
mente to firearms, to be used on either gun
or pistol, and which converts the same into
burglar gun. The attachment is very
simple, can be carried in pocket book, and
attached to any gun or pistol that will stand
cooked in one minutes time, without injur-
ing its usefulness for other purposes. The
gun or pistol to which the attachment is
fixed can be placed on anything in any part
of the room, and will shoot in as many
directions as may be desired-will shoot
burglar in the foot, leg or body, according
to the manner in which the attachment is
arranged A safety wire removes all danger
to persons in whose Office or store it may be
used. A traveller can attach it to his bed
post, and so arrange it that he cannot be
approached while asleep, and cannot HIM
self get out of bed without locking the pis-
tol. The attachment cannot get out of
order, and will not cost exceeding $3.50.
The invention is certainly ahead of any
thing in the burglar gun line yet patented,
and we hope Mr.. Daniels will make for
time out Of it.
We regret to announce the death of Mr..
Thomas Erskine, an old and influential
citizen of Anderson County, which occurred
in the seventy-seventh year of his age at
