Requests of the Hon. Ker Boyce,

We learn, says the Chaleston Standard,
that the will Of the Hon. Kcr Boyce has
been opened, and some magnificent beq ues t.
are found to have been made 10 the public
and charitable institutions in this city. II is
stated that the SUN Of Ten Thousand Dol.
lars has been given to the Orphan House,
Ten thousand for establishing shool for
the poor at Granitevillc, and Thirty Thousand
Dollars to the Charleston College. The be-
quest to the Charleston College Is for the
education of poor young men, TO be appoin-
ted by his son, Rev. j. p. Boyce, and, at his
death, by the trustees Of the Charleston Col
lege. 1t is provided, we understand, that
in case the school in Graniteville should
ever be discontinued, the bequet to that in
stitution is to issue TO the 2bcne6. Of the
Charleston Orphan House. The " III of Mr..
Boycc has been in the keeping Of Mr.. Fan
ming, and byshim was deposited yesterday
with the Ordinary Of this City. The per.
sons appointed TO execute the will are, Judge
ONcall, the Rev. J. p. Boyce, A. G. Rose

We feel satisfied that ther, is business
enough here for two public houses, and 1T
present there is only one. The house ad
vertised for rent by Capt. McKenna, has
been put in repair, and to An approved
tenent the terms will be very reasonable.
This Hotel is in the centre Of our village,

Death Of the Hon. Ker Boycc.

The melancholy Intelligence of the death
Of this old and respectable citizen reached
here yesterday. He died in Columbia on
Sunday night, in the 6sth year of his age.
Mr. Boyce was for many years one Of our
first merchants, and on his retirement from
business, succeeded General Hamilton as
president Of the bank Of Charleston--n Do
sition which he filled with ability and sue
cess. He represented the city (of Charles
tom successfully in the House and the Sen
ate ofthe state and his great practical knowl-
edge on all subjects connected with COM
merce and banking, gave him much influence
in the Legislature, Mr.. Boyce was emphat-
icnlly selfmadc man, and commencing
life with no other resources than native Sc
gacity and untiring industry, he signally IL
lustratcd the force Of these qualities. BY nc
cumulating one of the largest fortunes in
State. Tie has been largely identified with
many leading industrial enterprises of the
S"uth, and in his personal relations, was
without reproach.- .Msrcuru

We are informed by gentleman from
this place who returned yesterday FROM n
visit to Orangeburg, that most attrocous
murder was perpetrated about week since
near that place. The murdered person Was
negro woman, the slave Of Mr.. Ror-
TESDERRr Of that District. The body was
thrown into the river and after the IL pse OF
several days rose. An inquest was held (;
when the statements made by negroes
and corroborated by strong circurrstantial
evidence led to the suspicion that the
owner was the perpetrator. The suspicion
wa. afterwards confirmed, or s:engtlened

The citizens are very much excited on
the subject, and Strenuous efforts are being
made for his apprehension Fairfield

Ii is trite but true saying, that zone half
the WORLD do not know how the other half

a little circumstance came under our i'm
mediate observation the other day, which
illustrated sufficiently to our mind, the ad-
vantages of making oneself and business
known.
We were present one evening last week
when the mail was opened, and noticed that
several small packages which had been in
securely envelopcd, had burst open. These
little packages were "Dr. Young's pocket
Esculapius." If we mistake not, we coun.
ted some thirteen of these books received
that mail. Now this book has been adver-
tised in our paper, and we are satisfied that
the only knowledge of il was thus deriY-
ed. If thirteen were received last week by
one mail, when the advertisement has been
in our paper some nine or ten months, how
many have been received the mails proceed
ing? 1t is rule of three we cannot an
swer. But We infer if SO many We're recciv-
cd by one mail, at one Office, great many
must have been received heretofore.
Our paper is seen and read in every nook
and corner Of the district Like an Asmo-
deous, it visits our cities, towns, villages,
every where. The rich and the poor alike
are its friends. There is scarcely n state in
the Union but it visits. Then away to the
west, to the gold regions of California, it
finds its friends; and over the big pond, to
the east, in the land Of soyercigns and prin-
ces it deigns to show itself-even the great
city of London. Where then may not DIR.
