Charleston, November 12 1866. 6
The RAMON Sunday night We were visited by
worry heavy full of rain, which has completely
squelched the dust for O few days. It came, how
ever, rather mai dpropos for tho convenience of
some people. Several of the churches were re-
opened that night, after long intermisaion, and
we're all well attended; but the down coming rain,
We fear, distracted tho attention of many fair
hearers. East Bay now presents tho appearance
of u vast quagmire, and it requires correct man.
agernent to that Slough of Despond without
being mired. The vehicles that always throng
that street have stirred up tho mud to the consis
tenoy Of mush, and the stones that arc piled so
temptingly on either side make US sigh for the
days Of pavements, and pray most fervently that
the coming Of the new ono may be hastened.
CuRBsToNEs.-We are plensed to notice the
improvement Of the curbing now being perfected
on East Bay. Neglect and i'll usage had caused
many Of the stones to give way, while others had
entirely lost their former proportions. BY direc-
ton Of the city authorities workmen are now
engaged in restoring these stones to an upright
position, and in other respects improving the
condition Of the sidewalk. This will afford great
protection to the pavernents, as in some places
they we're partially submerged by every heavy rain.
As nm initiative step we can look forward with
some degree Of hope to tho time when not only the
streets but the sidewalks Of this busy thoroughfare
viii be again paved. It is Gonsummation most
deyoutly to be wished for. -
