The fund bequeathed by Alexander Dow
ner, deceased, for the support of school in
Edge6eld District, exceeds twenty thousand
dollars (S2O,O0O). The accounts are settled
annually before the Commissioner in Equity
of Edgefeld, and the provident care of the
Chancellors of the Court of Equity, is espe-
cially invoked by the liberal testator--they
doubtless, will be faithful in guarding the
sacred trust. Not having been able to visit
the school, I commend it earnestly to the
intelligent notice of the delegation Of Edge

appeal to the Abbeville delegation, for the

PrrTcoAT SwrNDLE.-At Battle Greek, New
York, the other evening, two gentlemen and a
lady of the real skirt expanders-got
aboard the cars for Chicago. One gentleman
and his wife had through tickets, while the 9TH
er paid his fare only to the first station. From
certain manifestations, George WandlcS, the
conductor, who is keen u scent, concluded it
was the intention of the trio to dead-head one
of the party through. On arriving at Augusta,
the gentleman did not get out, and on search
being made, he was found secrcted in the ladies'
saloon. He was brought forth, and directed to
leave the train at the next station, but on arriv-
ing there he was not to be found. After long
and diligent search, in which everybody was
interested. it was concluded he had leaped off
the train while in motion. Speculation was then
rife as to his fate, when n gentleman sitting near
the lady of big dimensions, limited that those
hoops might there "a tale unfold On prodnc-
ing light, four feet were seen prntruding from
her pettcoats, which it was unreasonable to
suppose belonged to one person, and the lady
was requested TO rise which she did after some
hesitation, revealing the lost passenger.

THE New York Herald states that Ex.Mayor
Wood intends to bring libel suit against the
proprietors of the New York Tribune, based
on articles published during the last four years,
which will embrace no less than seUen hundred
and Gtty distinct libels. If such suit be
brought it will furnish fine picking for the law
yers, but it will not be likely to yield much pc
cuniary satisfaction to the aggricved eX-Mayor.
