A certain gentleman of this city, who recently visited New Orleans, met with a warm reception there. The landlady of bis boarding house poured a hot cup of coffee down his back.

The whole town and surrounding country are alivfl to the importance of the extension of theSavannah Valley Railroad to Aiken. Since the Savannah Valley Railroad is to be completed to this point by next Fall we hope to push the work to Aiken in a few months," It will repay any person who is desi - rous of purchasing Spring goods to visit Mr. W. A. Chapman's store, where every? thing in the dry goods line can be pur? chased at remarkably low prices. Mr. Chapman is an experienced merchant, and handles nothing but the very best goods. Every article be sells is just what he represents it. Look ont for his new advertisement next week. Recently we bar? noticed a number of dogs on the streets without a collar. If we miHtake not, there is a city ordinance requiring every owner of a dog to procure a collar and tag, with a number thereon, from the City Clerk, and all dogs found roaming around without this collar are to be killed by the policemen. This law should be enforced, as it would rid the city of a number of worthless curs. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending March 25: T. W. Bowling, Kirksy Blasengim, b.

Persons contemplating going should notify Mr. Smith at once, and if sleeping car accommodations arc desired, berths will be secured in advance. The probability is that the party will be a large one, and a pleasant trip is in store for those who go. Margaret Maverick, an old colored wo? man residing at Peudleton, was burned to death last Friday morning about 3 p. m. The old woman lived alone in a cabin, and it is not known how she caught lire. Directly across the street from where she lives stands a church. About the hour named some person was passing along the street and saw her under the church with, what he supposed, a lire. As she had been fur a long time iu a demented condi? tion, itriwas feared that she would burn the buildiug. The Town Marshal, who was at once notified of her conduct, went to where she was, and found her baiely alive, with her clothing nearly burned uff of bor person. It is supposed that she caught tire iu her house and then ran across the street and crawled under tho church. Coroner Nance held an inquest over the remains on Friday, when a ver? dict in accordance with the. above facts was rendered by the jury. Llntf.-One car load of best liino just received by C; A.

Hanghey received five dangerous wounds in the head?four inflicted with a piece of mar? ble, 6 by 12 inches, and one with a knife, the latter reaching from behind the ear across tho temple, .severing two arteries in its course. He was alto slightly cut on t*e left arm. Haughey says that he with James Moore and William Kennedy were in O'Dounell's saloon, and bad taken a drink or two, when James Moore banter? ed the crowd for a wrestle. He nccep'ed, and Moore, Kennedy and some others he did not know went into tho street, and when ready for the wrestle he discovered he was being assaulted by several per? sons, ami attempted to ward off the blows, until the parties were separated from him. Nut until he went to the light did he dis? cover that ho was cut. He states that he had no difficulty ? ith any person. The parties who wounded Haughey are said to be James Moore, Thomas Moore and William Kennedy, and- their reasons for the attack upon him cannot be ascertain? ed, as they have either left the County or secreted themselves since the occurrence. Warrants were taken lor them the next morning, but the ollicers have so far been uuable to find thorn. The foregoing is the version of this un? fortunate difficulty current upon the streets, though we are informed that the friends of these young men claim that at the proper time they will show a differ? ent state of facts entire'y. In the mean? time, it is fair to all the parties concerned, that public opinion should await the full development of the affair before deciding the merits of the difficulty. The occurrence is generally regretted, and is attributed to overindulgence iu liquor. Mr. Haughey, whose wounds were dressed by Drs. S. M. Orr and J. 0. Wilhite, is doing very well, and is now supposed to be out of danger. A Disgruntled Republican. ? Washington, March IS.?The Sen ate, in executive sea-ion, continued the nomiuatiou of Jas. 55. Miller to be Com? missioner of internal Revenue, vice Evans, removed. Mr.. Evans said to day that it was not true, as was asserted in the executive session of the Senate yes? terday, that he had expressed to Secre? tary Manning a willingness to resign. "As a matter of law,*' said Evans, "I not only have not resigned, nor have I ever bad a word of conversation on the fUtject with either the President or Sec? retary Manning, on the subject." Evans has writien a letter to the Sec? retary of the Treasury iti regard to the matter, of which the following is a copy : Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary ot the Treasury : Sir?I have received your letter of this date, iu which you state ihit by direction ot the President I am informell that my "resignation" as Commissioner of Internal Revenue "is accepted,'?' to take effe t upon trie quali fk-aion of my -uic asor. I was hardly prepared to receive such a letter to day, in view of the fact that I had not re? signed, and especially as my information that my successor was nominated to the Senate yesterday. It may bo proper that I should lake this occasion to state that wiiiie 1 have never rcsignrd nor ever had a proper opportunity to talk to I you upon the riibject, still :t has been my fixed purpose iu resign at an early day, in no event later than the close of the fiscal year, my fctcoud in office, and I thought 1 hau pruhaoly a fair right to assume the existence of apparent cause for believing that there was too great a disposition to avoid hasty re? movals, to make it necessary for me to speak of ft, ii at all, in the hurry of earier days of the adiniuistrhtion. I was acting upon lhat assumption, and wit'a no thought or desire to embarrass any? body, and not supposing that! was doing oo. Very respectfully, Walter Evans, Commissioner. ?

Mercury is more destructive to human health and life than war, pestilence and famine Combined. So said a distinguished writer many years ago, and it is as true today as then. The poor victim of Blood Disease is drugged with. .Mercury to cure the malady, and then dosed with Iodides to cure* him of the Mercurial Poisoning; hut instead of any relief, the first breaks down his general health and makes him a cripple, and the other ruins his digestive.organs. Mercury and Pot? ash are dangerous even when adminis? tered by directions and under the eye of a good physician, ami when put up in nostrums, often by incompetent persons, are apt to produce evil consequences' Be careful of these poisonous mixtures or you may regret it. Swift's Specific is enlirelv a vegetable preparation, and should not he con founded with the va? rious imitations, non secret humbugs, "Succus A heraus," etc., all of which either contain Mercury and Potash, or are composed of old remedies which have long since been discarded a* of no value in the treatment of Blood Diseases, and nono of them contain a single article which enters into the composition of Swift's Specific. There is only one Swift's Specific (S. S. S ) ami there is nothing in the world like it. Be sure to get the genuine. Inflammatory Rheumatism. I have been afflicted for nearly four? teen years with the severest form of in? flammatory rheumatism.

Last, mouth I secured, at the suggestion of ft friend, one dozen bottles of Swill's Specific, and alter using about six bottles 1 am entirely free from pain, the first time in nearly fourteen years.
