The committee upon the examination of tin'anus, made tln? following report: To the (Miicers and Members of Abbeville Kifle Club?The committee of inspection on anus beg to report : That the general condition of the trims and accoutrements was highly creditable to the members of the duo. They beg to report the names of Ser^'t Osborne and T. Enriirht as exhibiting highest degree of excellence.

Taggart. i This well known citizen of Abbeville: <*ounty died at his home, near Calhoun's; Milis'on Saturday last, altera short i!!- ; iiess, aged about liltv-scvcn 3*oars. Perhaps no man in Abbeville county; had a larger connection of highly respectable and intluential kindred than Die decease;!. J1 i.s grand father Moses, Taggart was once Clerk of the < 'oitrt and his uncle John Taggart was once Sheriff: of the County, and afterwards became assistant Clerk of the Court. Xo public cu-t in fhia ( 'fiimt v f!?i? vi.'iwf 1 hull" century has been without tin- active; rapport of tin; members of the Tagu:a:'i. family, and all have been distinguished j lor tiie (qualities of bead and hear:| which go to make the good citizen. The deceased was once a prominent merchant lit Calhoun's Mills, anil was well knwwn to our people. 11 is daily conduct wamarked by the kindness of heart which j characterized his generosity in word and? deed. The fitdings of ill-will found no! place in his heart, but on the contrary,; he was ever ready to perform a kindness: for a neighbor, at whatever personal lo>s i orincouvonicnee it miglit be t:> himself.! For these and many other reasons we l>c-| lieve there are few who>e hearts are not j touched at the death of William Ta?rg?rt. Whatever may have been his errors,! our citizens, without cAeeptiou, regret! the death of this neighcor whoso life, asj the result of a hopeful nature and *authi-! tious disposition, was one of constant anxiety, ami a series of disappointments. I Let us cover his mistakes with a mantle! of charity, and hope that "after life's infill fever lie sleeps well." Mail Routes. Xow that we have .a friendly Congress-; man, and a Post Master <>cner:d who has' promised to give the Southern postal s? rricc his attention, let us make an eil'ort to have the mail routes of the county reorganized. For instance there is not the slightest use of a mail from Lowndesville to Klbertoji. Lot the mail be stopped at I Lowndesville, and with the same money two trins :i \v#?pk ? 11 i?r* iii:i<]<? from ville to Lowudesville :uid intermediate: points. Let the mail from Abbeville' Court House to Washington, Ga., he so j altered as to stop at Calhoun's Mills, and go some good route through the Long' Cane country. There is not the least use of a mail route from Calhoun's Mil!> to Danburg, Ga. IJv making some changes our people would be greatly benefitted1 sr.rl the lax upon the Treasury would not be increased. Another change is needed. The Millwav mail should come to Abbeville instead of to Greenwood or New Market as at present. We feel sure that Congressman Aiken can make these changes for us, and we are equally sure that he would be glail h> do so, if the i matter was called to his attention. <a>? Death of Mrs. Ail-en. It becomes our duty to announce the death of Mrs. A. M. Aikin. of Green-; wood, which sad event occurred at home on Saturday last. Mrs. Aiken was one of the most loyeable of her sex, and possessed in the highest degree those charming qualities which adorn the ideal wife and mother. She was foremost in every good work, whether for the adamcenient of the interests of the cliurcu <.>r in ameliorating j the wants of the poor or distressed, while she reflected all the graces which tend to J raise woman to that exalted sphere where j she is the tit subject of our adoration. ! The deceased was the daughter of Mr. Robert Gillam .who is the son of that; highly respected octogenarian General JamesGillain. She had been all her life! a counisioih cnrisuan ami n#r many yours a member of the Presbyterian church. She was buried in the Greenwood eeinotary on Sunday in tlie presence ofaj largo concourse of friends and neighbors, i A Live Beavkii.?We learn that there | is now a beaver on Long Cane?the lirst that lists been In this county for thirty years.
