May Festivities.
The May celebrations in Columbia were
not very extensive. A few quiet but charm
ing parties made up the all of the spring re-
joicings this year. The parties were not pe-
culiar in any respect that We have heard of
were not paragraphable in any respect,
beyond this general mention. Fetes cham.
petres appear to be the prevailing form of
festivity.
Books.
A new book store has just been opened in
Columbia, by an old bookseller-our friend
Peter B. Glass, Esq. He has brand-new
stock of books and lot of kindred things.
Another old book. seller-R. L. Bryan,
Esq.-has gone to New York to buy in a
stock of books and stationery; and will be
back and at business in week or two.
These are both new concerns. They find
the field occupied. Messrs. Townsend &
North have been established here nearly a
year DOW, and are doing large and accept
able business in the book and stationery line.
English Grammar.
We wonder why educated men and wo-
men, especially newspaper-folks, aoiU per-
sist in using since in place of ago, in such
sentences as these: This occurred some
years since; He went home an hour since I;
She was there sometime since. The ques,
tion ".Since what" naturally arises. We
are aware that since sometimes means ago ;
but it does not follow that it can always be
used for ago Ago means agone, and is
exactly the word we want there; while since,
does not mean the same thing, and should
not be used, in this form of expression.
Pictures.
The finest likenesses, and on the whole
the finest pictures, that we have ever seen
are the Albatypes, just now coming into
vogue. Messrs. Wearn & Hi1 of this city
have recently made some of these pic.
lures that surpass anything in the likeness
line that we have ever seen either north or
south. They are sometimes called the Por-
celain picture, from the material upon which
the picture is taken. They are little ex-
pensive but as works of art are exquisite.
The style of case now considered stylish is
