SHOOTING SrARs.-For tho past fow nights the
community have been on the qua Uiue for tho grand
celestial burst and have slept very lightly in order
that shey might not miss tho show. On Tuesday
night the residents Of Laurens street were aroused
by the report of two pistol shots in that vicinity
Windows were hastily thrown up, and, from every
home, faces were turned heavenward, thinking the
noise was occaBioned by meteor. The stars on
earth knew better, and skirmishcd around after
the nocturnal sportsmen, but they had vanished,
and the disconsolate gazers and the discounted
stars retired in unmitigated disgust.
