The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1866-12-24

TIE New ERA.-Many Of our citizens, we feel as
sured, shared with us feeling Of pleasure at the
appearance Of life given to our streets yesterday
by the running Of the street cars. Sunday has
hitherto always been particularly dull day; but
this first step, we are satisfied, is to inaugurate
change The cars were well filed yesterday all day;
and we noticed staid ard staunch old citizens,
many Of them church -goers, avail themselves Of
these public carriages thus established to give rest
20 their private beasts, as becometh good Chris
hans, who bear in mind the fourth commandment
We are glad the Directors have concluded to run
their cars on Sundays, inasmuch as it is a great
public convenience, quite as much so, if not more,
than on the other six days Of the week. Many per-
sons, unable to leave their workshops or places Of
business during the week, may now treat them
selves, their wives and little ones to a Sunday
ride up the road, and enjoy little fresh, salu-
brious, country air, and all at a very small outlay
OF United States fractional currency.
WHERE Is NOAH WEBSTER ?-We have not in q
long time come across so original genius as the
gentleman who wields the paint-brush for the pro-
pretor Of HooFLAND's Bitters. Dictionaries are
all very well for hum drum everyday folks. But
this knight Of the brush has painted his decree fer
photographic emancipation in huge, glarng letters
over all the walls and fences Of our city. In one
place You read Germon Bitters, at another the de-
ightul compound is spelled Bihrs The disease
that gives one the blues he playfully styles Dy-
pepsld and again Dyspepsia. Weakness he calls
deblety, and sends people to the Drugg stores for
their isyck.
Who knows the name Of this distinguished pro
tagonist in foneticks? It should be placarded
alongside his own variations on old WEBsTER's
theme"
Why is it that sign painters will insist on bad
spelling We have seen many instances Of it both
in this and many other cities, but never, TO our
belief such clear proof Of innate depravity as in
the case cited above, III which the artistic range
was in itself 50 restricted and where yet he found
such ample room for blunders.
TIE K1Na's MOUNTAIN MILITARY SCHOOL, in
Yorkvile we are happy to learn, is in afourishing
condition and no institution in the country is more
worthy Of public patronage. This school, as most
Of our readers know, was established on the LIST OF
January, 1855, by the late Gen. M. J1N11Ks one oi
the most gallant men the State ever sent forth,
and by Col. A. COWARD. The latter gentleman ie
now the Principal
The purpose Of this school is to prepare pupils
for higher institutions Of learning; also to afford
good, plain education to such as may not desire to

course Of studies. The buildings are OF an excel.
lent character constructed by the Principals fo1
their present purpose Yorkville, where the Acade.

between the Broad and Catawba Rivers, and with
