TIE BILL OF MonTAIITY.--It will be seen by the
bill OF mortality published elsewhere that the num-
ber OF deaths during the past week is twenty-five,
nineteen Of which are oolored and six white. OF
the latter five are children and one adult, while
there are eleven colored adults and eight whites.
This remarkable discrepancy is owing, principally,
to the careless mode Of life observed by the coored
people and to their neglect of all precautions ne
oessary for the Of health The portions
Of the city inhabited by this class are usually long
ranges dilapidated shanties which are frequent
ly tenantedby several families. The Summer has
fortunately been extremely healthy. but the cold
weather will soon thin their ranks and. unless
greater care is taken, and they become more prov
ident, the number of deaths will be largely in
creased There are many, and, we believe, large
portion Of the colored people who are careful in
their habits, and who. having been brought up in
city, are not apt to neglect any sanitary preoau-
tons; but the country negroes, who are entirely
unaccustomed to city ways, herd together in un-
healthy localities and soon fall victims to disease
KING STREET IMPRovENENTs.-The fashionable
portion OF King street is Of the few localities in
the city where fro has not proved q loss. The
houses destroyed by the deyouring element have
been generally rebuilt with more taste and with
more pretentions to architectural beauty than they
had previously possessed. The heat Of tho fire
that destroyed Queen City Hotel had scarcely
died away when the rubbish was removed and the
work Of rebuilding was commenced. The late
Alderman EARLE was the contractor, and under his
management the work progressed rapidly, until
interrupted by his sudden death. It was, how
ever, soon resumed, and Mr.. W. K1NsMAr and
Messrs. FoaARTE & STILLMAN became the occu-
pants OF the new stores. or the appearance OF
these stores it is almost useless to speak as they
have long been the objects Of attraction to the
shopping public. Messrs, FoaARTm & STIILMAN
have opened full stock Of seasonable dry goods in
the North store. These goods have been chosen
for this market, and will prove, on inspection to
be what they are warranted. Mr.. w. KMsMAN, the
great candy man of Charleston, has established
his headquarters in the adjoining store which he
has fitted up with great taste. His lady customers
will find everything arranged for their conve-
nience, and will be pleased to learn that he has not
forgotten the chez donores Of hs art, and oonfec-
honery Of every description can be obtained at his
counters. Those in search Of delicacies to tempt
the palate will find them at this establishment
where everything known to the profession is fur
nished ad Hbitun. .
