OF Mes rs. NATHAN {; OTTELEHGUI, where our
good citizcns-the ladies cspccally-arc invited to
call and inspect her, and tender to the little
stranger congratulations on her success. The
old Etna boys ought to be proud of the new "ns-
chine and are 20. Owing to the libcrality Of our
City Council, as well as Of many Of our generous
citizens, the boys havo been enabled to import
this little fiery Northern beauty. Bnt there is
still 4 small balance due, which VIC feel confident
will soon be made up by good folks who have
not yet been called upon.
We ARE in receipt of information from New
berry, S. c., which will be particularly acceptable
to our business community. For the past six
days, the weather being cold and clear, and tho
roads in good condition, wagon transportation to
Hopkins Turnout has been resumed. Frcights
down arc still high; but this is owing to the fact
that the South Carolina Railroad is not yet re-
ceiving any freight, and, therefore, the wagons
can expect no return loads; but tho rates will bc
decreased is soon as the cause ceases. Tho pre-
sent rates arc $50 for load Of about 1000 pounds
ono engagement, however, has been made at
50 % per hundred. 1t is to bo hoped that an
carly resumption OF frcightng business on tic
South Carolina Railroad, throughout its entire
length, will soon facilitate transportation and
decrease the present high rates.

NEWSPAPER men arc generally practical men,
They can either edit 4 daily or supcrntend the
boring of an artcsian well. These truthful, orgl-
nal and novel observations arc the result of per-

Gas BuIyrRs. Although VIC have reverted more
than once, with great sincerity and pleasure. to
il,e satisfaction which we derived at adopting, in
the Office of The DA,Iy News, DR.. GAEIAND's I'M
proved Check Gas Burners, We now feel called
upon. hearing that DR.. GARLAND and Mr.. L. j.
I,:EEs, lie gentlemen who have The patent III
charge, arc about leaving our city, to state that
they are q most valuable fixture, and that no per-
son who is il the habit of using gas, and who re-
CARDS i system of economy as ono of the tunda-
mental rules Of lifc should be without this admi-
rablc invention attached to their lights. From as
fair test rs could be made i'll our office, VIC feel
convinced that VIC have saved twenty-five or thirty
per cent ly attaching these burners to our gas
| fixtures, and We do not hesitate to recommend
thcir adoption wherever gas is used.
MAYORS Cougr.-Thc present sudden stasna-
tion of business in the city is most remarkable;
lut tho quictncss of our community, as exhibited
at the Mayors Court on yesterday, was also won-
decfu as there was not I case of drunkenness, or
thicvery, or riotng, OF anything CRIMINAL or
vicious, brought before his Honor.
A. great many persons, from negligence or mat
tention. leave out at night vehicles or some other
article that obstructs tho streets, and in the
morning they arc summoned up and usually fined
for their neglect; and we dontpublish these cases
because the parties are generally so indignant at
being mulctcd for violating city ordinance, that
| if yc-Sioro To- mention the fact connected with
theiraiamcs, they would suppose that we were
adding insult to injury, and they might look us
ferccly when they read our article rs they do
when they pay their fine. These being the only
matters before the Court yesterday accounts for
the slimncss of our report to-day.
