A aIeri.ed Compliment.


The Charleston Ne,rs and Courier, in Civ
ing short account Of the semi-annual COM
mencemcnt of the Charleston Female Acad-
emy, speaking of the part taken in the ex-
ercises of the occasion by young lady who
is greatly admired by many Of our readers,
says:
The 104th' Psalm was then recitcd in con-
cert, after which Miss Annie Sloan read q
chaste and beautiful greeting. Her descrip-
ton of spring, with all its sweet enchant-
ments, teemed with lovely imagery, and
was as airy and melodious us the strains of
an Eolian harp. She made touching allu-
sion to the harvests of death in the fever
stricken cities of the Southwest last sum-
mer, expressing gratitude that our own
loved homes were mercifully passed over"
by the destroying angel.

Death Of An Estimable lady.

We are panied to announce tho death of
Mrs. Sarah Seaborn, which occurred ut her
residence at Cherry Hill, two miles from
Pcndleton, ct 4 o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing the 22nd inst, after an illness of several
months. Mrs. Scaborn was daughter of
Gen. John Baylis Earle and the wife Of the
late Maj. George Seaborn. She was greatly
beloved and admired by all who knew her
for the many excellcncies of character
which she had exhibited throughout long
and useful life in all of its relations. AS
lady, educated, refined. accomplished, viva
cious and amiable, she was an ornament to
society, and attracted many friends, of
whose company she was always fond. AS
a wife, true, devoted and consideratc; as
mother, fond, affectionate and thoughtful,
and, as one of the heads of large and re-
fined family, she rendered the home circle
bright and happy to all its members, and
helped to impress those traits of character
upon her children, which has given to So
ciety useful and honorable men and intel
llSent ana CulClTateu luuieS' MIS-. OeaooiH
was possessed of very remarkable energy,
which rendered her up to the beginning of
her last illness active and cheerful, although
over seventy-threc years of age. She pos
sessed a highly cultivated mind, and up to
the last was great reader of literature and
news, taking wonderful interest in both.
She was q member of st. Pauls Episcopal
Church at Pendleton, though not a pro-
fessed member of the Church until the more
recent part of her life. She evinccd
throughout life pure and Christian life,
and at last passed quietly and happily from
earth to the future rewards of the just.
Her mind remained clear TO the last, and
her cheerfulness never forsook her. AL
though suffering intensely she did not
murmur, but evinced that fortitude and
patience which is only possessed by an up
proving conscience. Mrs. Scaborn leaves
many children, relatives and friends who,
though sorrowing at the separation, weep
not for her that has gone to rest from the
cares of earth in the blessedness Of hap
pier and better world.

EDITOR INTELLIGENcER-ISr: We beg
permission through the columns of your
invaluable paper to correct the malicious
reports afioat concerning the Lodge of Good
Samaritans of Anderson. We have had
members who candidly could not longer be
members, owing to the following reasons !:
1st. An unbridled tongue. I'd. Could not
stand by the total abstinence pledge. Now
we only wish to give the Order her dues.
She has been misrcpresented by the men,
bers whose names we have had to erase, on
the spur of the most outrageous charges.
These persons are working daily against
this Order, and showing forth that their
pledge is nothing. MIR. Editor, we believe
that you are posted too much upon organi-
cations of this, and other kinds similar, to
disbelieve its real existence. The members
names that have been erased are Jessie
Haywood and Ben. Collins.

A Disease that Wrecks the System.

Every function is deranged, every nerve
unstrung, every muscle and fibre weakened
by fever and ague. 1t is, in fact, disease
which if unchecked, eventually wrecks the
system. In all its types, in every phase, it
is dangerous, destructive. Stupor, delirium,
convulsions, often attendit and cause swift
dissolution. But when combatted with
Hostetters Stomach Bitters its foothold in
the system is dislodged, and every vestige
of it eradicated. That benign anti-febrile
specific and preventive of the dreaded
scourge is recognized not only within our
own boundaries, but in tropic lands far be-
yond them, where intermittents and remit
tents are fearfully prevalent, to be Il sure
antidote to the malarial poison and relia-
BILE means of overcoming disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, of which vita
ted torrid atmosphere and brackish miasma-
tainted water are extremely provocative.
All emigrants and travellers should be sup
piled with it,

School. The literary address

Clark, of Houston. The follow
ing young ladies graduated :

tomorrow by a public dinner

a public address. During the
past week there has been q good
showers in portions of our coun-
ty. l think Burleson county
will make corn enough to sup
ply the home demand. Some
few of our farmers who broke
up their land in the winter, and
planted early, will make pretty
good corn despite the drouth.
Stock water is becoming dis

| have just returned from
trip west. think the best corn
| noticed between this and the
Colorado river at Lagrange,
was on farm near the old Ran
die place; the corn near Round
Top is complete failure. In
the vicinity of Rutcrsville, no.
ticed some pretty good corn;
but perhaps the most promising
fields of corn on the entire route
of los miles, is to be found on
Buckners creek, some 4 miles
west of Lagrange. On the
farms l think they will make 20
bushels to the acre. l found
also some pretty good fields of
corn near Flatonia and Moulton.
and some west of the Gauda-
loupe river. Some fields will
yield 20 bushels to the acre,
while others are a total failure.
This difference is more attribu-
table to the time of planting,
manner of cultivating, than to
the season, or difference in the
lands; it is obvious to every one,
that the best fields of corn are
fields that were planted early
and cultivated well. Hence the
importance of early planting.
and early and proper cultivat-
ing. l find the cotton crop We
ry much like the corn crop,
early cotton that got root deep
in the ground before the drought
set in is doing well, while late
cotton is doing nothing. have
reference to that portion of the
county that has not been visited
by the partial showers of rain,
which fell during the past week.
On the 10TH there fell a fine
rain on US, and we found that
the rain reached to Gonzales,
however in places it was light;
this we found to be the case all |
along the road until we passed
Warrington, in Fayette county,
from that place in the direction
of Round Top, we found the
rain had been very light, barely |
enough to lay tie dust. The
millet crop along the road is a
complete failure. Wheat and
cats had been cut and taken off
the ground. l cannot say weth-
these crops were good, bad or
lndifferent-of one thing l am
sure, we found it very difficult
to buy any oats or corn for our
horses. As to Lagrange I can
say but little in its favor except |
that they have a beautiful GEM
etery near town, and | am of
the opinion that it is a good |
place for a graveyard, for it |
seems to be well represented.

no especial difference what par

who had lived, say, about 1858
months, had taken seat in front
of a popular Brennan store, at
tired in the usual elegant week
day costume of one of his race,
and just along side of him was
one of the sickliest looking wa
termelons that had ever been

daughter and sister-in-law,
young girls of thirteen and six

originated in their room, which
was locked on the inside. They
were so blinded or bewildered
they could not open the door
although the father of one ofthe
girls, who had been awakened
by the flames, called to them
and tried to break the door in.
He then went to save his wife
and barely succeeded in getting
her out. 1t is feared he is ia
tally burned. The girls bodies
were literally charred. The fire
is supposed to have been acct
dental. Everything was total
loss.
THE names of the unfortu-
nate victims were Mary Rob-
bins and Berta Reynolds. Mary
Robbins is a daughter of Prof.
Robbins of Austin and sister
of Mr.. Edgar Robbins of this
