Teachers, Institute.

It has not been our pleasure to attend
the County Normal School, but judging
from what We hear on the streets about it,
there can be no doubt as to its being q
complete success. Since the beginning,
sixty mine teachers have enrolled, and all
are enthusiastic in their expressions of
appreciation or the faculty and the valu-
able lessons there learned. We did not
hear DIR. Manly's address Friday night,
but are informed that it was in keeping
with the reputation Of that scholarly
divine and experienced teacher. The
Doctor delivered another short lecture to
n the members Of the Institute Saturday
morning, which is spoken of in the high
est terms by those who heard it. DIR.
3Grier wrote the School Commissioner re-
GREETING his inability to be present, and
expressing hearty wishes for the success
Of the enterprise. Last Monday DR..
Lander came to the assistance OF Prof.
Morrison and Miss McCants, and, during
this week, is taking his place in the pro-
gramme. The Rev. Mr.. Frierson, Pro-
fessor in the Alabama State Normal Col
lege, Is in Anderson on a visit to his
brother, the venerable DR.. Frierson, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church, and has
promised to favor the Institute with some
Normal instruction! As an evidence Of
the interest the teachers feel in the work,
we would mention that one walked thir-
teen miles Monday morning that he might
not miss single days exercise. Anoth-
or walked seven miles every day last
week, and returned in the afternoon.
That looks like business.

Wheat ie being threshed, and is turning

about one bushel to three dozen.
Spring oats have been harvested and

Mrs. Sadler, respectable old widow

Died, on the 9th inst, Mr.. Harry Will
son, in the saith year of his age. he had
been afflicted with consumption for eight
months before his death, and during his
painful illness displayed a resignation in
dicative of his noble nature. Mr.. Wilson
was native of Virginia, but for the last
two years had made his home with u.s..
During his stay here he had made many
friends; indeed, it was his very nature to
form friends of those whom he came in
contact. The whole community mourns
the loss of one who was useful, intelli-
gent and noble-hearted citizen. BE was
inferred on the 9th inst. in the Baptist

MI. James w. Poore5 5and a graduate Of

prove an efficient instructor.

Lebanon Correspondence.

Mr.. EDITOR: The farmers In this neigh
borhood, who are, ~ general way, equal
to any emergency, have found the man.
agement of their farms the present season
one of the most difficult problems they
have eyer encountered. The incessant
rains have made it next to impossible to
keep down the weeds and grass and grow
ing crops in proper condition, yet they
have so fairly succeeded by hard work
and perseverance, that should the seasons
be favorable throughout the remaining
summer, good yield of corn from up
land as well as an average crop of cotton
from stiff red land may be relied upon.
Cotton on sandy soil is small and sickly.
and under the most favorable circum-
stances can hardly make full crop.
The root crop is fine, and altogether the
outlook is somewhat encouraging.
The Farmers Club, which was organ
lied here more than year ago, has be-
come fixed institution. Its members
have gradually increased in numbers and
its meeting in interest. Questions per-
tanning to the interest of the farmer are
discussed at each meeting. 1.-THE farmers
aids and hindrances'' is the theme for the
next meeting, which comes off the first
Saturday in August. All farmers are
cordially invited to join US.
The young people, as well as some Of
the older ones, of this neighborhood an.
ticipate having a pleasant time during the
two weeks session of Prof. Showalter's
Normal Singing School, which begins at
Lebanon on the 10th inst. The stock
holders of the school have placed the tut.
ton remarkably low, so that all may
have an opportunity of attending. No
one shouldlet this opportunity pass un-
improved.
Prof. Showalter will be with the Leba-
non Sabbath School on Sunday, the 18th
inst. Come out and hear him sing. 1t
will do you good. B. W.

Our City Election.
ANDERSON, S. c., July IL, 1856.

ANDERSON, S. u, July l3, !oed.
Mr.. EDITOR: AS the Temperance ele-
mont of our city will surely petition tho
Council to submit the question of Lii
ceiise' or "No License" 10 the legal
voters of the city, within the time pre-.
scribed by law, it behooves that portion
of our citizens to look well to the personel
Of our municipality for the next two
years, for OH the rigid enforcement Of the
law, or rather conviction that it will be
rigidly enforced, depends, in large
measure, both its adoption and continuance
after its first legal limitation expires. 1t
is conceded, I believe, that to the inabili.
ty of former Councils to enforce prohibi-
tion, even comparative prohibition, is at.
tributable the defeat of the temperance
cause at the last election; and if this be
true, it requires no argument to show how
important it is to select man for Mayor
who is in full sympathy with the cause,
and who, also, possesses the ncrveand will
power to enforce fearlessly the will of the
people in. their effort to effect great
moral reform. No candidate for Mayor
has been publicly announced, but it is
whispered that there will be contest for
this office, and in order that the voter
may judiciously determine for whom he
should cast his ballot, it is due him that
the candidates should, through the INTEL
L1aENcER or Journal, or both, declare his
position on this most important question
mot simply whether he is in favor Of
'No License" but, in case the "Dry" car
ries, will he exert ali his just powers.
personal and official, to insure its strict
enforcement. These are pertinent ques-
tions, for the permanent success of the
cause rests upon the rigid enforcement Of
the law. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
every candidate will feel it a pleasure to
put himself on record. have no decided
personal preference in this matter. The
names of the candidates mentioned in
private conversation are well and favor
ably known to all, but am earnestly
anxious to know their position on this
question as above indicated, and what
policy they mean to adopt and carry out
in case they are placed at the head of our
City government. A VOTER.

Mr.. III. f. Dobbins, of Fork Township,
was bitton by highland mloccasin last
Monday morning. It occurred before
daylight, and while he was feeding his
stock. During the night the snake had
crawled into the feed basket, which sat
just inside the crib door. Mr.. Dobbins
went TO his crib, and. standing on the out
side, filled the basket with corn. AS it
was dark he, of course, did not see the
snake, and covered it in tho basket with
the corn. After filling tho basket, he car
ried it into the stable, and while throwing
the corn into the trough, the snake stuck
its fangs into his right hand. He sent off
Immediately for physician, but 1t was
several hours before he secured one. We
have not heard from the unfortunate
man since Monday afternoon. At that
time he was suffering greatly, and the
physicians were doubtful of his recovery.
It seems that our little paragraph of
few weeks ago in reference to Capt. Tom
Hills desire TO enter the matrimonial state
has done something towards frightening
his prospects, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing, letter, which he received a few
days since from one of the fair sex living
IN the lower section Of the State. We
have managed to get copy Of the letter,
which we publish almost vcrbatim ct sitsra-
