that ex-senator Cochran has withdrawn his
application for appointment to the U. 5.
Marshalsl,ip for South Carolina. He is also
reported as saying that he was sorry the
Democrats had nominated such strong
national ticket, which no doubt il sufficient
explanation of his withdrawal from the

the Western Union Telegraph Company at
Greenville, had narrow escape from death
one day last week. Wishing to ta'ke some
iodide of potassium, he through mistake, took
instead cyanitle Of potassium, rank poison.
He discovered his mistake in minute or
two, and at once sought medical aid, but
before that could be obtained fell to the
floor almost insensible. Physicians were
soon obtained, who succeeded in ejecting
the poison from his system before its effects
were too far advanced. Mr.. Brown is an
Andersonian, and his many friends will be
glad to know tLat he is again all right
The fete champetre given by the ladies of
the Episcopal Church on Thursday night
last was largely attended, and in every re-
spect successful and enjoyable. 1t was had
in the beautiful grove in front of DR.. Mar
din's residence, which was illuminated by
large number of Chinese lanterns sus-
pended on cords stretched from t. -e to tree.
The tables, ladened with refreshments of
every kind, and placed in different parts OF
the yard, were attended by the young ladies
of the Church and literally patronized by
those present. The young people seemed
to enjoy the evening quite as much as is
usual on such occasion. The net proceeds
of the evenings sales amounted to about
$40.
The survey of the Savannah Valley Rail-
road has been completed, and the engineer
corps engaged in the work returned to this
place on Tuesday. An accurate survey of
the route was made to Dorn's Mine, from
which point preliminary survey was made
to Edgefield c. H., to which place it is now
proposed to extend the Road, connecting
there with projected line to Aiken. The
entire line from Anderson to Aiken is most
practicable, and can be constructed for
comparatively small sum of money. The
people of Edge6eld, We understand, are
aroused on the subject, and recognize the
importance of cooperating with the inter-
ested townships in Anderson and Ahbeville
Counties in securing its extension to that
place. A report giving all the details of
the survey will be submitted by Maj. Lee
to the Board of Directors at their meeting
in Anderson on next Thursday, which we
will endeavor to lay before our readers.
