For tho paBt week general and frequent rains lifcve fallen in every part of thc county, so far ai wo can hear. Vegetation of all kinds has re tived and tho growing crops aro striving lo re cover from Ibo effects of tho long drought, Cotton is reaching up and spreading, win lc corn begins to show a great chango for tho belter. In some Bcolions corn and cotton uro loo fat spent to yield abovo a half crop, while in othon tho yield will bc nearly an average Corn on lowlands will yield an ovoragc crop, but thc genoral avorago must bo ouo-lhird less per acre than last yoar. Another good cll'ect of thc rains hos been to cool and purify (ho atmos ph?re a tho drought had canned a great shrinkage in running streams, exposing to tho hot sun tho bods usually covered with water, which might provo a source of sickness. Wo have heard of scattering eases of siel?noss in tho county, but not of a serious type, and, as wo think, not moro numerous (han during our usual summer season. Tho wonder is (hat with so much heat and drought as wo have had Ihcro is so Millo sickness in tho county. A Narrow I?scai>c. Tho mail train on tho Air Linc was run ning ou time, uour Atlanta, wheu rounding a sharp ourvo, a oow was seen on tho track. Tho distance was too short to slop tho train. Mr. Berry, thc engineer, with a steady hand, drovo thc cngino over tho cow. This throw tho wholo train off thc track and tho engino down tho bauk. Strange lo say, no ono was hurt, although th ero wcro mauy passengers on the train. Great credit is givon to Mr. Berry, ougiuocr, and Mr. MoCool, conductor, for their admirable con duct ou the occasion. Tho Air Linc is ono of tho best roads in thc country, and it has bcou a loug limo since it has been our duty to chronicle a serious accident on it. Tho ruad bod is fine, and tho road has tho most o a ref ul engineers and tho very best conductors. Tho Fence Law. This inattor ?S OXciting considerable didi oussiou in (Jroonvillo and other counties of uppor Carolina, and ibero scorns to boa growing interest among tho pcoplo hero on tho subject. Tho law is now in foroo in An derson, Abbeville, Chester, York, portions of Fairfield and perhaps other counties nnd whorevor tried opposition to it lins given placo to u gonoral satisfaction with tho law. We lind a largo portion of tho oitizons of tho lower townships of this county favor tho law, and wo hear Bomo effort will probably bo mudo to secure its adoption, liven in thc uppor townships wo find somo citizens who favor tho low, though tho inujorily aro doubt less oppoiod to it. Noarly all that can bo said on both sides of tho quostion has from timo to timo boon publishod and its offoot is soon in tho groat chango in tho publio mind. Eiporionoo is tho host tcachor, and on tho sido of tho ?took law wo havo tho gonoral satisfaction of tho peoplo of Anderson with tho low.

What ovils might flow from a chango and what bonoflts lt might produco aro moro or loss speculative This, howevor, 'should not causo us to blindly rojcot ovory proposed bonoSt, for such a courso would dony all progress. In a mnttor whioh so deeply concerna tho loading industry of tho country too muoh caution and judgment cann not ho oxoroisod boforo onteriug on a radical chango, but at tho samo timo tho vory impor tanoo pf thia Industry rondors it our highest duty to adopt any chango likoly to promoto ?IS advancement. In this connection WO aro oonstralnod to cay Ibo weight of argument is in favor of fonoing stook, ospooially in tho counties below us and perhaps in tho groatoc part of this county. Wo should not ferr 0t, howevor, thnt appearances and first oxpQ?? nionts in mnttore of this kind tp/hy ?vovo de ceptive, and that what for *, yen,? or so may soom highly bonofioial 'mny in tho end provo injurious.

Wo believe fonoing stook would provo economical to tho grouter part of tho Stato, aud wo would bo williug to vonturo tho experiment, but wo do not think wo aro lobing anything in permitting others to mnko tho experiment. Wohaveplonty of timber and a largo runge ia ovory part of tho county, whllo othor counties aro not similarly 8ilunted, so that thoy can far bolter submit to tho experiment than wo, who havo no actual nocd for economizing Mmbor. Wo should, however, continuo to think of thc subject and preparo to moko tho chango, whoncver tho necessity osists, or ns soon as wo aro satisfied it would promote tho best iutorcsts ot tbo agricultural community. Tho Assessmont Of thc real estate of tho county has been completed nnd Ibo Tow rtshlp Boards have mndo thoir returns to tho Auditor. Tho duty assigned lo thom wns an unpleasant ono and without rcinuuorotion, but it wns n duty which somo of our citizens had lo perform. Tho members of these Boo rds havo doubtless discharged their duties lo tho host of Ihcir ability, and very much charily should bo ox tended lo any errors committed by thom. Tho woik was difficult, ns no tinco men could bo expected lo know tho roal ?slalo of tho citizens of so Inigo an oven ns a township, woll enough to value it to thoir own Bntisfac? lion, much loss to tho mU's?ii'd?on of thc owners^ They, therefore, to a great extent, i had to^fcpend on tho valuation fixed by tho i owners in their rolurns, confining themselves ? lo equalizing as far as possiblo these vuluu - tiona. To do this required in some eases tho raising of values and in others tho lowom i iug of thom, ns each poison in valuing bis property proceeds on his own particular ' thoory. To can tin o property now to tho 1 actual salo value, would cut down the leal 1 calato of Ihc couti, y fiiV per cent, or moro ! on nu avorago, as tho scarcity ef money and 1 failure ul* el ops havo operated to provc.it sales at nny reasonable price. Wo believe, howevor, that our roal propotiy has boen on thc avorago valued too high in tho past nnd that lhere ? diould bo a gouoral reduction oner equalizing os far as possiblo Ibo rolurns. Wo do not know what action tho various boaids havo taken in this respect, and rcg.ud tho meeting of tho county board on thc lir.-t Monday in August ono of great importance. All appeals fiom township boaids must be hoard and decided by ibo county board and to it bolongs also tho work of equalizing tho valuations between tho different towns ships. Wo hoar of Homo complaints l'rom ono or molo townships and ibero will bc doubtless sovornl appeals. As tho action of tho county board will bo final in these malters of appeals, wo hopo to eeo every township represented by its chairman. Tho county board at its meeting will also bo required lo olect a chairman, who will bo ex officio n member of tho Stato Board of Equalization, Fovor in this Country. WASHINGTON, July 21.-Thc history of yollow fovor in this country shows that it luis novor provailcd in nn epidemic form in nny locality with nu elevation ot' 500 feet abovo Ibo sen. Br.

This waa in 1323. Casos wore roportcd at Winchester, Ya;, 700 feet above tho sea, in 1802, but in this instance it is not a woll authenticated ?pi d?mie.

These, with Winchester, aro tho highost points it luis ever roached; yet thc history of tho fevor nt these places proves that it did not obtain us nu cpidomiu, and that no now cases woro devolopcd, tho onos recorded being thoso brought from lower elevations. Memphis is 200 and Vicksburg 176 foot abovo tho sea. Dining tho lust hundred years thoro have boen epidemics along tho Atlantic seaboard ns far North as Portsmouth, N.

It is not unlikely that their own wells received some of thcovor?low i.oni tboir own vrults, but os thoso woro freo from typhoid poison, no ill rosults onsucd. About oight years Btnco, Dr, Flint, who hus studied and milton a great deal on tho Bubjoot, became satisfied that a uottrco of typhoid fovor existed which was little dreamed of, aud which nt first thought would seem i inpossible, This sourco, us ho then enunci ated it to his homo medical society (und not to bia knowlcdgo having boca boon before suggested), is found in icc.
