The Atlantic and French Broad Railroad
Company have procured forty-nine conYicts
from the South Carolina Penitentiary, and
are now working them in grading the road
from Easley Station, on the Air Line, to-
wards Pickens @. n. The Company have
gone to work quietly, without any demon-
stration or parade about breaking dirt, and
all that fuss and feathers whichiusually end
in nothing. They evidently mean business,
and intend working their way over the
mountains. The Anderson and Easley
Railroad must be completed in time to
give us the advantages OF this projected
Western connection .#e'e| f.nI Par

The Oconee Republicans held their Coun-
ty Convention last week and el>,ted two
delegates to tho State Conventions, one of
1 whom was A. n. Bryce, brother of Alex.
Bryce, the man who was murdered In
oconee last August, the other delegate
being q negro. The Convention passed q
series Of resolutions, the general sentiment
OF which partake strongly of the old Radi-
cal asyas. They vws=at Grant nominated
for President, and think is advisable for the
Republicans of this State topnt full ticket
In the field, and make square fight against
the Democracy.
Measrs. G. z. Tolly and II. G. Scudday
represented the Young Mems Christian AS
5ooiation OF Anderson in the Etaie Conven-
tion ct Orangeburg last weak. They say
tho meeting was very well attended, and
that much good TO the order in thia State
viii likely result from 1t. The meeting vaa
attended by some of the most eminent min
listers Of the gospel in the State whose preo-
ence and counsel added great deal to the
interest of the OCCASION. Mr.. T.; W. Stan-
land, of Charleston. was elected President
OF the Convention, which commences the
work of another year under more than
usually favorable circumstances.
The heavy rains on Saturday and Sunday
nights made the ground too wet to plough
Oh Monday, and it seemed that everybody
had business in town, and from early in the
morning until late in the afternoon the
square was crowded with vehicles of every
description. The merchants and their
clerks were kept busy waiting on their
numerous customers, end from ell appear
ances did an unusually large business.
Mountain Dew was freely imbibad, but
the police found little trouble In keeping
ordes, and everything passed off quietly.
This Is the way we like to see it. If men
will drink ardent spirits, let them act like
they had respect for themselves, as well for
other people and the community at largo.
| A gentleman of this town, who was at
Seneca City on Eunday Last. and who has
chaSacter for veracity, says that It reined
down frogs in abundance at that place on
that morning. As an evidence that they
] came from the clouds, he states that they
were seen to fall into house through q
broken window pane. and that sprinkling
pot that was filed with rain water had a-y-
erai frogs in Il. Considering The size C I lie
opening IN sprinkling pot, they certsinly
must have come thick and fast in order for
sever 5, to have gotten into single vessel OF
that kind. Should this shower OF hopping
animals turn out to be of tho green species,
and our friends Of Ocnnea make mn thsi.
minds to make the use Of them that is m de
L. L. sc::.e sections, the demand for fryi.g-
/ sized chickens in that locality viii not be
livery great this season, and the Counties
adjoining will thereby reap some of the
benefits Of this most wonderful shower OF
Living animals, as it viii compel those OF
that County who have chickens for sale to
seek s, rnnyket elsewhere. We desire 10 put
In And 3 claim at once for he. quota
| of the snrpIus frying sized chickens. IA
