| over Bobo's body that every man at the
wedding except one bad pistol. This is
the third similar murder that has occurred

| We clip the following from the Greenvile
| Enterprise aud dOuntainecr, anu commend its
teaching to the citizens of our own town. to
which it is equally as applicable as to Green
| vile: There are many poor families in the
city, who find it pretty hard to get along,
and when the joyous season of Christmas
| arrives, may not have money to buy their
children the things that childhood yeirns for.
| Let those who nre prosperous bear this i'll
mind. and let every such one make 1t his
| determination 20 carry Sunshine diid pleas
| ure to ut least one poor household by pro-
viding Christmas gifts for the children
therein. Look around your neighborhOod
or in your acquaintances, and the house can
be found. God has been kind to you-be
kind TO some ono else in turn. Such all act
| will increase your own enjoyment when the
little ones around your fireside revel in glee
and gladsome mirth at what Santa Claus
has brought them. IN your plenty do not
| forget those who are less favored and whose
hearts can be made miitliful and happy with
but a few dollars Mt iuost. No child should
go without something in its little stocking
on Christmas cve."
Tie ,ssssatSis IS RAMPANT on he
line fence question, and comments at length
i'll its last issue on our article of week before
| last OH the subject, in which it SAYS thut "if
the Act has not been carried out to letter
the deviation has been in favor of Anderson
| County" and that "the legitimate and
proper portion for Anderson County to pay
is 81 l,4S19S, and that said amount is the
same 1t would have been had the fence been
built along the line of railroad" The Sen
| finet may believe these statements, but il
Will hardly succeed in convincing anybody
else OF their correctness who will take the
| trouble TO examine into the accounts and
the Act authorizing the building eof the
tense. we &c &c: c;Te 10 5iii,hiy words
with our good neighbor about the matter,
end VIII simply say that when the account
IS properly apportioned and presented to the
Commissioners of this County it will be
paid, but not until then. We do not know
what the views of the new Commissioners
are about the mater, but we feel justified
In saying that they will do whntever is right
and proper. Let the Commissioners of
Pickens and their "amanuenss," the Scnti-
| mel, examine the law again, and STE if their
eyes, which are evidently blinded by self
Interest, cannot be opened to their full duty
i'll regard to the line fence.
Mr.. r. W. Todd furnishes us with the
following concerning the cause of blind
staggers and remedy for the disease: Il
am fully pursuaded, from an investigation
OF the cause of the disease, that it is moth
ing more nor less than inflammation of the
brain, caused by improper food and treat
| ment. blasted corn, or such corn as is
usually made on thin land, partly unsound,
is productive of bindstaggers. 1t is we'll
known that there was all unusual amount
OF blast in corn the present year. There
IS also an unusual amount Of unsOund corn,
the ends of many ears apparently sound
being totally unfit for horse food, which
should be shelled off and thrown to the
pigs. During the years 1854 and 1855 there
was considerable fatality among horses from
this disease, which l was thoroughly con-
vinced was produced by the cause stated
disease. and in SO had another violently at
tackled with it. lhad heard Enoch Breazeale
say the only remedy was to crack the skull
between the eyes with q chisel. Several
good judges OF horses and their diseases
pronounced this hopeless case. With
such assistance as I could command how
| ever, cut in the skin of the forehead g,lsh
about four inches and skinned it one inch
| on either side, and about one inch above
The curl | bored through the skull with a
large gimlet, and from the garden procured
sonie garlic, which placed under the skin
and sewed UP the incision and IL "a: turned
the morse out to die. Instead of Lying he
began to improve. and in "a hours was ap-
parently we'll. If had horse afflicted
with blindstaggers / would use this same
remedy. Others can do as they please"
