selfish husbands. y proposition was MAGE
the other night to invite the wives OF the
members to the annual supper of the Lud:e,

members and as far as heard from no one

Mrs. E. T. Glover, formerly of Anderson.
had her handsome residence in the city OF
Greenyille destroyed by fire on last Sunday
evening at about O'Clock. The fire orlgl-
mated from chimney in an extension III
the rear of her dwelling, and spread 50 rap
idly that all efforts to extinguish the flames
were futile. All of her furniture and house
hold goods were saved. even the window
blinds and doors being wrenchcd from their
hinges. The building was insured for "a ,0oo,
which will nearly cover the entire loss.
A colored man by the name of Rich Bobo
was shot and killed at colored wedding IN
Greenville County OH last Thursday nlght
by one of two parties-Enoch SeaWrlght or
Abe Abraham, both colored. They nave
both been lodged in Greenville jail to await
trial. The fact was developed at the inquest
over Bobo's body that every man at the
wedding except one had pistol. Ihls IS
the third similar murder that has occurred
within radius of three miles during the
last three months. NJ idea could be OBJ
tanned of the motives for Bobo's killing
beyond the general impression that there
was woman in the case.
We clip the following from the Greenville
Enterprise and Mountaineer, and commendltS
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 yearns for.
Let those who are prosperous bear this in
mind. and let every such one make 1t his
determination to carry sunshine and pleas
ure to at least one poor household by pro-
yidins 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 one 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 mirthful and happy with
but few dollars at most. No child should
go without something in its little stocking
on Christmas eve."
The >PPiieekenss Sentinel sStasfs IS rampant on The
line fence question, and comments at length
in its last issue on our article Of week before
last on the subject, in which it says that "if
the Act has not been carried out 20 letter
the deviation has been in favor of Anderson
County," and that .'the legitimate and
proper portion for Anderson County to pay
is 81 ,48198, and that said amount is the
same it would have been had the fence been
built along the line of railroad" The Sen
tine. may believe these statements, but it
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 of the
fence. We do not care to handy words
with our good neighbor about the matter,
and will 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 matter, but We feel Justified
in saying that they will do whatever is right
and proper. Let the Commissioners of
Pickens and their s'amanuensis," the Senti-
net, examine the law again, and see if their
eyes, which are evidently blinded by self
interest, cannot beopened to their full duty
in 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: II
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 blindstaggers. It is we'll
known that there was an 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
above. In 81 had horse 10 die of the
disease, and in '5S had another violently at
tackled with it. lhad heard Enoch Breazeale
say the only remedy was to crack the skull
between the eyes with a 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 gash
about four inches and skinned it one Inch
on either side, and about one inch above
the curl bored through the skull with
large gimlet, and from the garden procured
some garlic, which placed under the skin
and sewed up the incision and then turned
the horse out to die. Instead of dying, he
began to improve, and in "a hours was ap-
parently well. If had horse afflicted
with blindstaggers l would use this same
