The Greenville 6; Columbia Railroad.
The regular annual meeting 0f the
stockholders of the Greenville and Co
lumbia Railroad was held in Columbia
on the 1st May, General M. c. Butler
was made chairman, and the ordinary
routine business gone through with. The
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: w. Magrath, President.
Directers-L. D. Childs, H. F. Farmer,
F. Gary, Robert Adger, Theodore D.
W. gner, R. L. Mclaughlin, Edward
Hope, J. G. Roath, II. Hurley. Joseph
Crews, A. Simonds, and Alexander Mao
beth.
The stockholders (says the reporter OF
the Charleston Nea0s d: Coatrier,) are ex-
tremely gratified with the management
of the road for the past year. The busi-
ness has been without parallel in its pre-
vious history The gross earnings reach
ed the handsome figure of $G0l, 900. This
is fair representation of the business
that can be done ON the road, but not OF
its capacity, since it was largely indebted
during the past year for locomotives,
rolling stock, &C., to the South Carolina
road. 1t is said that the road will soon
be put in first-class condition.

with them some twenty years ago, by an extraor-
binary p~artiality that u sister Of mine evinced for
one OF the race. / never could understand how il
came about for | could not bear the fellow
myself. In fact | and about a dozen of my brothers
were dorm on him, 50 You may guess that he had
rather a lively time Of II when he " came a WOO

" dread of responsibility" for he took my sister
and all her VindictiVe brothers in marriage, after
several well laid schemes for his accidental assas-
sination during his periodical visits to our southern
home. / fully believed al the time that this freak
Of my sisters would bring down the hairs Of an

lief that she would be starved to death by this

means an afluent people. | am, however, sur
prised to see that here the proverbs and express

that the vulgar misconceptions Of the " dark ages"

These remarks are drawn from me by reason Of
your article on the water supply " in your last

before the bar Of public opinion and your own
conscience in consequence Of your very unusual
course Of condemning the actions Of any one man

and able advocacy, in the matter OF the " water
