8 The COOLEST. morning was
3 the coolest experienced in this LATITUDE
Sduring the present winter. Water in bed
groom pitchers was frozen to solid mass.
: and after II o'clock a. m, we saw some
awater poured on table, which froze in
8less than one minute In the Phoair
Soffice, water thrown on the types prepara-
8tory to- distribution, froze into solid mass
Sbefore handful was distributed. Such
! ian instance is, We believe, unparalleled in
9the South We have heard of Northern
Sale freezing yesterday morning in the
aplpes leading to the pump, and we should
mot wonder if some OF the whiskey they
Sscll here should be found frozen this morn
ding. 1t would be somewhat of a BLESSING

FIRE.-Our community, for the first time
Asince the great conflagration year ago.
was aroused by an alarm of fire, Yesterday
Smornlng, about o'clock. The fire origi-
mated in the dwelling house of Col J. T.
aSloan, on the corner North Of the South
sCarolina University. The first parties to
athe rescue We're a detachment of the gar
Prison, led by Col. Haughton, who, under
3his direction, did good service in putting
! out the fire and guarding the property
taken from the houses. The damage to
hOuSa f,,r,,
exceed four or five hundred dollars. The
: fire department OF the city was promptly
: ION the spot, and rendered valuable assist
ance The freedmen were very efficient on
the occasion, and deserve great credit
u The fire was accidental, but had it occur
fred at night, there is little doubt but that
the dwelling house would have been con-
T asumed. We had understood that some
aalar,n signal would be sounded from the
Getty and church bolls on the occasion OF
aany fire. There was no alarm rung this
morning, and we suggest that prompt
arrangements be made, so that the fire de-
apartment, at least, may be notified Will
Snot our municipal authorities attend to
! this matter?
