Gift to an Orphanage. Clinton, April 1.-They say that corporations have no souls but the ex perience of the Thornwell orphanage seems to put that old adage effectually in the background.

The gift was delivered by another corporation, the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens road, without oharge of any kind.
