The heavy rains of the past few days j have had their effect on the river, J which has been rising steadily. At | 2:30 o'clock yesterday it had reached a height of 32 feet and 7 inches, and was still rising at the rate of three inches per hour. Some of the low parts of Augusta were under water, and while it was evident that a good deal of anxiety was felt on the sub ject, still it was not expected that a reoetition of last fall’s flood would be had. Since our first report was set up we learn from parties who came over on the 5:35 p. m., train that the river had risen to a height of over 34 feet and was still rising when the train left. All of the lower parts of the City were flooded and the citizens had become exceedingly anxious. List of Visitors. r Steedman House. Highland Park Hotel. Death of Mr. Janies Dunbar.

A sling shot throwing a buck shot or small bullet is no trifling weapon, and its use should be sternly preven ted within the town limits. Fox Chase. On Saturday afternoon a party of young men got hold of a fox and sent him out to the woods beyond the old Barton pond where he was turned loose. They followed with a pack of hounds which soon discovered rey- nard’s trail. After a chase of about a mile or so he was captured and his brush taken.

Driest Climate 1r the United States, Except points of great altitude in the Rocky Mountains. ABSOLUTE SAFETY FRO$f YELLOW FEVER, from the follow ing comprehensible reasons: First—Reliabe medical authority asserts that Yellow Fever could not become epidemic in this climate, even if brought here in mid-summer. Second—There is no case of Yellow Fever nearer to Aiken than Jack sonville, Fla., and a rigid system of quarantine prevents its nearer approach. Third—Even were all precautions abandoned immediately, the frosts already experienced here render infection impossible. For those who wish to go further South, Aiken olfers a desirable stop ping place, until frost reaches tbe localities they wish to visit, and renders it safe for them to continue their journey.
