THE ADVERTISER. Terms? 93,00 per Annum. Burning of Dr. Ready ' i House. We are shocked this morning to hear that the large, aandsomeand well-known rnansion of the late Dr. J. C. Ready, ll miles from us, on the Columbia road, was burned to the ground last Monday night. It has been for some time past the home and property of our friend, Wm. J. READY, Esq. We can give no particulars. We know only the bare fact of the burning. We are unfeignedly grieved to have tb record a fact so mel ancholy. " No papers from Augusta by this morning's maiL" And this is the cry i too frequently. We are heartily tired of | this culpable negligence in these mail irregnlarties, and hope speedy steps will be taken to nav9 our unnecessary mail failures promptly abated. Where does the blame rest ? Rev. E. A. Bolles. This prominent divine, General Agent for the American Bible Society, visited our town during the present week, and on Sunday morning and night preached in the Baptist Church to large and atten tive andiences. His sermons were quite entertaining and highly instructive, and his hearers were delighted. Rev. Mr. Bolles was here in the work of the Bible Society, for which he has labored so as siduously, and achieved so much, and was instrumental in giving a fresh and renewed impetus to our Bible Society, which, by reference to a communication in to-d8y'8 issue, it will be seen ha3 been re-organized, and is read}' to prosecute its labors in the good cause of spreading the Bible among the destitute. . We hope Mr. Bolles will not forge* Edgefield in his journeyings through the State, and that he will give usa call fre quently. He will always meet with a warm welcome from our people. Shocking Occurrences and High Ex citement in Granitevil'e. Shocking occurrences and great excite ment have marked the pust week in Graniteville. A citizen of Graniteville, Mr. James Brewer, had in his employ a negro girl as a nurse for his child aged three years. On Wednesday last the girl falling into a rage with the child, picked up a gun and deliberately shot it in the head, killing it instantly. This happened about ten o'clock in the forenoon. The girl immediately ran off, and managed to keep herself concealed until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when she was found in a certain house, and taken charge of by Mr. Geo. Sharpton, a Con stable, who took her to the R. R. Depot, and placed her under guard, preparatory to bringing her to the jail in this place. After nightfall, Mr. Sharpton concluded to take her to his own house and keep her until next morning in order to get a commitment. Whilst on his way to his home, a distance of a milo and a half, the prisoner in charge, with a heavy guard of negroes, the prisoner was shot through the head, by some one unknown, and in stantly killed. Great excitement ensued in tho neighborhood, but nothing further of a startling nature happened until Fri day night. On this night, about eight or nine o'clock, amid the darkness and pelting rain. Mr. Albert Turner, of Graniteville, was shot through the right leg above the knee, and now lies at the point of death and suffering great agony. Should he recover, it must be with the loss of his leg. When shot, he was leaving the house of Capt. John Sente] 1, where Mr. Brewer and his family board. Who shot him is still, so far as we can learn, a pro found mystery. And so of the shooting of the negro girl. The general suspicion in Graniteville is that Brewer is the man for whom the shot which Turner received, was intended. Mr. Turner is squite a young man, recently married, and of un usually quiet and pious character. He has no enemies, and the sympathies of the people arc warmly aroused for him. A Miracnlons Escape. On last Saturday morning Dr. J. E. Self, accompanied by Mrs. Emma Hol loway, enroute from home to this place, attempted to ford the creek at Reynolds' crossing, but had proceeded but a short way in the creek when they discovered that both buggy and horse were floating down stream. Dr. Self in his efforts to change the direction of the horse, caused thc horse to make a sudden turn, which upset the buggy, throwing Mrs. Hollo way and himself into the stream. *Dr. S. immediately went to the relief of Mrs. H., and after floating down stream some two hundred yards, sustaining the lady all the while, the Doctor managed to reach a friendly bough, and succeeded in bringing the lady ashore. The Doctor, being an excellent swimmer, then turned his attention to the horse and buggy, (which had floated down the stream along with the Doctor and the lady,) and also hrov rbt them safe to land. We congrat ul?t-the Doctor and his lady friend on their miraculous escape, and trust they may never again be thus encompassed. We have a communication in reference to negligence of dut}' on the part of thc County Commissioners, in not having a bridge built at or near Reynolds* cross ing, which we will publish next week. Capt. T. W. Carwile's notice of .selling *?Jf his Furniture at auction shduld attract the attention of all in want of anything in th* Furniture line. ?This Furniture is bajjd^o/ne and desirable, and almost as good ?as n#w.

The Land Sales on monday Last. J Of the real estate of the late Col. Mai shall Frazier, the Home tract at Island Ford, 69G acres, was knocked down to A. A. Glover, Esq. (bidding for Ben Hill Esq.,) at ?9.75 per acre. The River tract, adjoining tho above, 859 acres, was knocked down to William Frazier, Esq., at$10peracre.

We would call attention to tho adver tisement in another column of The Brooklyn Life Insurance Company of New York. This Company, as it will be seen, is spoken of in the highest terms by papers both North and South. Among many other advantages, The Brooklyn endorses upon each policy, before it is delivered to the person insured, the exact amount of the Cash Surrender Value, thereby making the policy complete, and in the nature of a negotiable, registered govern ment Bond. Above all, we are assured that, owing to its careful management and superior advantages, The Brooklyn is enabled to insure at cheaper rates than most Com panies, and if so it will certainly benefit the community. As to Messrs. Bacon <fe Butler, our townsmen, the General Agents of the Company, we need not add a single word of eulogy, as they aro so well known here in their native District. The Columbia papers speak very flat teringly of the Brooklyn and also state that "Judge Bacon will soon open an office at Columbia S. C." We add that the office there is already opened, as also one at Edgefield C. H. The Bible for the Blind. The American Bible Society has, at great expense, prepared the entire Bible, in raised letters for the Blind. It is pub lished in eight and sixteen folio volumes. The actual cost of the former is twenty dollars, and of the lattter twenty-eight dollars, at which prices the sets are sold. The New Testament may be had either in two or four volumes, costing respect ively fiveand seven dollars. The Psalms constitute a single volume, which is sold for one dollar and a half. The stereotype plates, from which this magnificent book is printed, cost the sum of thirteen thousand dollars; and the So ciety has already prepared, and put into circulation over seven thousand volumes of it, in great part gratuitously, inasmuch as the Blind, as a class, are unablo to purchase. This department of the Society's work impressively illustrates its benevolent character. It would be impossible to es timate the blessings that have attended its distribution of the Scriptures among the Blind ; md the most affecting testi mony might be cited to the comfort and joy produced by this instrumentality. In its efforts to scatter these precious vol umes among a class so greatly afflicted, and a large majority of whom are poor, the Society can- surely depend on the hearty and generous co-operation of its friends. Persons in want of Bibles for the blind, or any other religions books, should make their wants known to Mr. B. C. Bryan, Agent of the American Bible So ciety, for the salo and distribution of re ligious books. For the Advertiser. At a meeting held at Edgefield C. H., on the 1st of Nov., by the Survivors' As sociation of Edgefield, the following gen tlemen were appointed delegates to at tend the Meeting of the State Survivors' Association to be held in Columbia, on Thursday, 9th Nov., 1S71, viz: L.
