DEATH IN ADBEv1LLE.-We regret to
learn of the death of that estimable
citizen, DR.. Isaac Branch, at his home
i'll Abbeville. He died, we are informed,
about 3 o'clock. yesterday morning,
after an illness of but few days. The
Doctor was a native of Vermont, but
for years o resident of Abbeville. His
activity and business energy. his kindly
heart and high integrity of character
won him the admiration and warm
esteem of host of friends. He has
been in feeble health for long whilo,
in consequence OF his advanced yeare.
He was upwards of seventy years OF sge
at the time of his death. He was con-
sistent Christian.
The trial of Mr.. W. E. Aiken, for the
alleged murder of Mr.. John A. Clark. is
now progressing in Winnsboro. Mr..
Clark was killed in a personal rencontre
by Mr.. Aiken, sometime last epri1 z.
The fact Of Mr.. Clark being Republi-
can official, invests the trial with some
additional interest. Mr.. Chamberlain
conducts the prosecution; Colonel Rion,
General Butler and Mr.. McCants appear
for Mr.. Aiken. Tho defendant is a
young gentleman of high social stand
ing, and favorably known throughout
the State. His friends are confident of
his full acquittal, upon the ground that
the homicide was committed in self-de
fence.
