It is announced that an appeal will bo taken to the Supreme Court of the State. The main question seems to be whether an election could be held at a precinct indicated by the Oovernor, when there was no precinct for tho election iu the territory which had been established by the Act providing pre cincts for the various counties."

Daniels, who was the honored and erti cient Clerk of Court of Andersou for twenty years. On Sunday a birthday dinner was spread in honor of his six ty-sixth birthday and Mr. Norton's six ty-fifth. This is the eighth time they have thus celebrated their birthdays. On- the present occasion it happened that tho birthdays of two of the guests were also celebrated, viz: Mrs. A. M. Brinsmndc, of Great Ban ington, Mass., widow of a prominent Presbyterian minister, who had attained her seven tieth birthday, and Miss Elsie Thomp son, of Charleston, S. C, whose birth day we felt a delicacy in inquiring, not withstanding her extreme youth.*' The Postoftice Department has adop ted a new forth of domestic money or der, which will be introduced general ly, or as supplies of the old form be come exhausted at various postofliccs. The new form is somewhat smaller than the order now in use. Its dimen sions are about those of the ordinary bank draft. It has two adjuncts?the. advice, or notification, to be sent by the issuing to the paying master, which is a reproduction of the order through the use of carbonized paper (the mani fold process), and a receipt for the amount to be furnished by the issuing postmaster to the remitter. On the back of the order a separate space has been provided for the. stamps of banks through which it may be pass for col lection. In the adoption of the new form of .order the interests and prefer ences of patrons of the system no less than economy of administration havebeeu considered. It is expected that about January 1 next the fee charged for orders will be materially reduced. _ Subscribers to tho Anderson Tele phone Exchange will please add the following names to their list: E.
