~ Two members Of the Legislature pass
ing along the Square yesterday discovered a
purse in the walk way; but refrained from pick
ing il up, "because," said one of them, "some
little rascal'' is near to cry out "April Fool' to
the person who picks it up. A gentleman
close behind them who heard them, was Tempt
ed by the appearance of the purse to pick it
up, and he found considerable sum of money
in it.

The Charleston Courier

Of Thursday last comes to us in an en-
tirely new suit but tk9 typographical APP
pearance of the Courier, has ever been of
such neat and beautiful style, we should
hardly have noticed the change unless direc-
ted to it.
The merit of the Courier, however, does
not consist in its topography, alone; the ta-
lent which characteristics its editorials, the
latest commercial news, added to the varie-
ty of its selections, reflect the highest credit
on Mr.. Alex. Carroll, the Editor, ard well
worthy is the Courier the extensive patron
age it receives
The Editor remarks,-
"On the 10th of January, l803s the Cour-
ier first saw the light, and although half
century hasnow nearly elapsed since that
occasion, yet perhaps we may be pardoncd
if we say it has as much elasticity and public
spirit in its composition as at any period ofits
existence, and that no efforts shall be wanting
on the part of It's conductors to maintain its
present position.

STROKE OF THE suN..-Persons whose
avocations necessarily expose them to the
sun cannot be two careful of themselves.
1t is very evident that all men cannot car
ry umbrellas, and perhaps there may be
some value in suggesting what has been
communicated to the editor of the Alexan-
dra, Va. Gazette. The writer says: sGn
conversation with the lady of one of our
commodores who has lately been stationed
at Pensacola where the officers and men
were much expo sed TO the heat Of a ;ro-
pical sun, she told me- that they adopted
a very simplamode of protection by wear.

which they placed quahtity Of raw net

hear daily of deaths caused by caup de

mend our omnibus drivers, and all me-
chanics and laborers, who are much ex-
posed, to try the experiment.

RICE MILL BuRNr.-The brick Rice
Mill nearly opposite this city, on the Caro-
lima shore, together with two Threshinp
Machines and outbuildings, belonging to
Mr.. Walter Blake was entirely consumed
on Saturday morning between 8 and 4
o'clock. Fortunately, there was no rice
in the Mill at the time, but unfortunately
there was, rs VIC understand, no insurance
upon the property. Th, loss is roughly
estimated at $4,000.
The light caused by the burning of these
buildings was distinctly seen from the
deck Of the steamship State of Georgia
while near the light-boat off Martins In
dustry, as well as by the passengers on
board the steamer Jasper from Charleston
for tl.is place. IT being in the directions
OF Savannah, the passenger were led to
believe that there was large fire raging
here. There was no general alarm given
here. We have not learned how the fro
originated.-SaVcnah Republican.

WHAT Is HE RESERVED FOR l-There

Waddell, living at Pocahontas, Arkansas;
who in the spring of 1850, was stabbed,
the wound thought to be mortal; the
same fall, was knocked senseless and cold
by lightning: in the fall of 1851 was run
over by four mules and wagon; last
winter, fell frm the third story window,
lighting upon pile Of stones; but six
weeks since was shot, three balls entering
his body. The hero of all these ugly ac-
cidents is still alive and healthy, being
reserved, doubtless, for some other kind

A PREDIoAMENT.-Some days since a
white man sold two free negroes in St.
Louis, divided the money with the negroes
and then they all decamped. One Of the
negroes was arrested soon after, with his
share of the proceeds in his possession
He was brought before the Recorder, when
his purchaser appeared and claimed him
as lawful property, bought and paid for.
On the ether hand, if the negro establish
ed his freedom, an action would lie against
him for obtaing money under false pre-
tences, his pseudo owner becoming prose
cutor. He did not make the attempt, and
the Recorder having nothing to do with
the question of ownership, he was taken
possession Of by the gentleman who had
fairly purchased him.

HEAVY FRAUDS UPON THE GOVERNMENT
The discovery has recently been made that
the Government has been defrauded to
to the extent of hundreds of thousands of
dollars by the forgery of land warrants,
pension claims, and back pay. A most
sstupendous scheme Of swindling has
been carried on, mostly by parties in New
York, and. on Saturday evening and Mon
day morning, a large number were ar
rested all of whom were taken before
Justice Stuart and committed to pris-

arm and head having received several

who was killed in the encounter. The
interference of the master met with iufic-

time that he appears to be actuated only by
motives of the purest philanthropy He has

corners of the streets, at the hottest time of

fan to cool himself with. On each side is
pasted an advertisement of the name of the
giver, location Of his store, and prices of his
goods. What next in the way of acquiring
notoriety?

DARING BURGLARY.-A most daring
burglary was effected on Saturday eve.
ming last, on the premises of Mr.. Commins,
274 King street, the thieves having en-.
tered a bed room at the rear of his store.
whilst Inc and his assistants were engaged
IN serving his customers. Fortunately
there was no money in the room, although
the miscreants, who must have provided
themselves with candle and matches. in
st'tuted most thorough search for avti-
cles OF value, having broken open and lit
orally ransacked two trunks, bnt found
therein of service to them but piece of
California gold valued at $40, which they
took away with them, leaving the clothes.
DC, they had taken from the trunks on
the floor. 1t is supposed they either en-
tered the yard by climbing the fence. or
the hall door, which was open, and thence
got intodhe room through the window

are, and it would be as well for our citi-
