two other citizens, were passing the old mar
kct-house, on Sunday last, when tb.,
stopped 70 examine the scale-housc for
lew nlnutes, and had just passed, when
down came ,he walls of the od buiIdin.,
scattering til, debris in every dirc,.;o,
and completely dcmolisiing the SCALE
house. The Sentle4..c:: referred to drew
long breaths, and went on their wa = re;oic-

occasion to call the attention of our CITY
authorities to the unsafe condition of M
merons walls about Columbia. Throw
them dow by all means.

We ask our merchants and citizens to

that all Southern Companies were totally
