THE BIG BALLOON, which. is tx

THE BIG BALLOON, which. is to
cross the Atlantic, it IS supposed,
will start early in September Pro-
fessor Wise expects to meet with an
casterly current in the upper regions
which will wait him safely over.
The balloon itself is wonder, taking
thirty-three hours to initiate it, when
it will be twice as high as the Astor
House. The Professor will start
from New York at sunset, for the
reason that the air is quietest at that
time In addition to the large life
boat, Waters's paper life-boat (thc
same with which the trip was re-
Gently made from New York to Long
Branch) will bo taken. 1t is four
teen feet long, and the skin is less
than three-eighths of an inch thick,
yet it is said to be so constructed that
it cannot be swamped. In case the
balloon should meet with accident, or
should come down through loss Of
gas, Admiral Wise and others Of the
party, with the exception of Profcs-
sor Donaldson, Will take to the large
boat, while the latter will stand to
the balloon to the last. and when the
.:ase is hopeless, he will resort to the
paper hoat. The parties concerned
in this enterprise seem to be acting
in good faith, and so sometime in
September we shall see what we shall
see in tho way Of aerial transatlantic
navigation. The voyageurs will be
limited to four. the two aeronauts,
Wise and Donaldson, an artist from
the Graphic Office, and another gen.
tleman whose name has not been
made public. The Graphic announ.
ccs that there have been thousand
applications for seats in the aerial
car.

The HEALTH OF ABBEvILLE.-
Whilst other sections have been
visited by severe sickness, our
county, and especially our town,
have been during the present sea-
sou comparatively free from the
prevailing epidemics. A few cases
of meningitis in the. spring, and of
typhoid fever later, make up the
um-total of our sickness, and now,
as the doctors say. ;'the town is
distressingly healthy Such was
the case during the last and pre-
vious years; and we believe that
few Of our sister towns can show a
clearer bill of health. We need
not go to the mountains for health ;
we have it at home.

DEATH OF DIR. SPRING, OF New

the death, during the past week, of
DR.. Gardiner Spring, of New York,
who died there at the advanced age
of. eighty-nine years. He was the
classmate of John G. Calhoun, for
fifty years had been a distinguished
divine of New York city, had bap-
tized five generations, and retained
to the last the pastorate of large
and wealthy congregation. He was
one of the most notable landmarks
of the city: a.

CoRREcr1oN.-We have received
a communication from Mr. A.
Ellis, Jr., of Hodges Depot, cor
recting a statement which appeared
in our last issue, of the bursting OF
a "Chemical Fluid Gas Light
lamp, which was in use in his gro
Gerry. He states that he has been
using the fluid over two months
without explosion, and regards it
as less explosive than any other.
He says: .". -
"Last Saturday night, by care
lessness, the burner was not screw
ed into one Of my lamps. The
fluid, splashihg upon the outside,
ignited, but,w was easily extinguished
without in the least endangering
the house,
Our statement was based upon
what we believed to be reliable in.
formation, and we had no design to
misrepresent the facts: -.

Picnic AT WARRESToN.- W.
are indebted to our young friend
Mr.. Frank johnson, who, with
some others from our town, was
present on the occasion, tor an In
teresting account of a pleasant pic
mic, which was gotten up by the
young people OF Warrenton, on
Saturday last. Some one hundred
persons of both sexes were present,
and the chief attraction was the
dancing, which was continued from
an early to late hour. The music
was good, and the young people
enjoyed themselves hugely. The
dinner was a bounteous one, and
was discussed thoroughly, with ap-
petites sharpened by exercise. The
day passed off pleasantly.

nifty OF seeing and exchanging
covrtesies with friends, sweethearts,
&C., &c.
The day passed. off pleasantly
and handsomely. We learn from
the President, General P. H. Brad
ley, that some ten or twelve thous-
and. dollars of additional stock
was subscribed to the Greenwood
and Augusta Railroad, and that
the prospects are very encouraging
for a speedy commencement Of the
work on the Road. This is one OF
the finest sections of AbbeviIle and
we are sure that the liberality and
enterprise of the people will give
a new impetus to the enterprise.

DEATH OF Mr.. ELIJAH WEBB
We regret to announce the death
Of this prominent citizen Of Ander-
son, which occurred at his residence
in thai town from fever, on Monday

oldest and most esteemed citizens
Of that county. For many years he
was the Clerk of the Court for An
derson, and was very capable and
efficient officer, and universally
popular. He was well known i'll
Abbeville, where he leaves many

BE- A ford has been made
across Coronaca Creek near Stony
Point, and the bridge heretofore
kept up at that place will hence
forth be done away with. To re-
build the bridge would have cost
$500, but a good ford has been
made by w. N. Munday and r. P.
Buchanan, at an expense to the
County of only s75,. which in all
probability will not incur any fur
ther expense for years. When a
good ford can be made we. think it
advisable, and thus save our I'M

gusta Road on their side of the
river. We think he is right in his
opinion, as Augusta would much
prefer to have the road on our side.
Augusta and her citizens own the
Georgia Road running from Angus
ia to Atlanta, and any road run
ming between this line and the
Savannah, would come in compe-
tition with the road already built.
What Augusta wants is more trade,
and not more roads to bring the
same trade. IF this road should
run down by Anderson and Able
Vile, uniting with the Greenwood
and Augusta Road there is no
doubt the trade of Augusta would
be largely increased, and the stock
in, these roads would be paying
investment, and the counties along
the line would forever have their
lands enhanced in money value,
and towns built up as we'll. as the
road itself, all to tax, and to add
their revenue to our depleted Coun-
ty and State. Treasury.
