THE COLD SEASON seems to be upon us-sick-

districts becoming once more habitable. The birds
of passage are focking homeward-every steamer

sengers. Now is the time for our country friends
to come down and renew their acquaintance with
:ity life. We are ready for them. Our hotels
have all undergone repairs, and are thoroughly
furnished, offering to the weary traveller every
comfort and luxury of frst-cass modern hostel

stocks, which are temptingy displayed and as far
as we are able to judge at very low rates. To
those who are fond of inimetics, and are charmed
by beauty. as reflected by the footlights, we shal
soon be able 10 offer inducements to come to our
CITY, such as we have not had here in q long time.
The work is rapidly progressing at the new
theatre (Hibernian HalD, and, If we are not mis-
informed, in another week or two the boards will
be ready for the buskins tread.
Those Of our rural friends who are not toe
ethereal to confess to fondness for shen-ash,
should lose no time in coming TO town, fer only
for few weeks longer can they have their choice
between delicious shrimps plump oysters, turtle
green and ''cooter." Now is the time. Apples
from the North and oranges from the South hats
from Paris, and muffs from Alaska, all entice the
dwelers in the desert places" to the bazaars Of
the gay city.
MAYORS CoURT.-An unsophisticsted individual
who was not posted on the morals of Charleston
was tempted to commit the crime Of selling liquor
ua fad hot yroc
done in charity, as the purchaser was suffering for
few drops; but deaf ear was turned to his e1-
cuses and fine of $50 in greenbaoks recorded
against him.
A man who put the enemy in his mouth and al
lowed il to steal away his brains was found on the
sidewalk in fuddled condition. A jury was sum-
! moned who found him guilty Of shooting himself
in the neck with bottle, and his case being tried
be was convicted out Of his own mouth and s5 ex-
tracted from his pocket.
Three goats and two COWS, actuated by grami-
nivorous principles, made raid on the City Park,
and commenced to devour the herbage. They
were seen by lynxed-eyed official who drove the
horned cattle to the Guard House, where they re-
ceived every attention the stable could afford and
the owners we're charged 81 for their board.
Three small darkies, who were on hostile
thoughts intent met at corner and Immediately
engaged in triangular duel. Their battle-cries
were borne to heavon and the combat grew fierce
and furious, each disdaining to fly until charged
by superior force, when they retreated precipi-
lately. They were solemnly conducted to the cell,
the guard singing mourntully, "TTampl Tramp
the boys are marching" They were then informed
that heir little hands we're never made to scratch
each others eyes" and 50 each taken nom them
as pay for the lesson.
CHsIsTxAs Is CoMNa.-Although Santa Claus
yearly visit is some weeks distant, preparations
have been made for that event. and King street
has already assumed holiday appearance. The
windows OF the confectionery and toy stores are
aled with every toy that please or instruct the
rising generation, while the milinary and dry
goods establishments offer tempting inducements
to the children of larger growth to invest their
surplus funds. King street. to be seen at adyan-
age, must be viewed by gas light, as its fill glo'
ries are then visible. The glare OF the lights lend
charm to the different wares, and the eye at once
catches what might be unobserved in the day
time. This is particularly applicable to the va
riety stores, as many of the scientific toys appear
| to more advantage at that time.
In the past few years the style and character OF
toys have completely changed, and in the place OF
dull, unmeanng blocks Of wood, the Young Anne
rica Of the present day is furnished with scientific
playthings that instruct while they amuse Mr..
Won SANTRN has, in his large establishment on
King street number Of toys that are curiously
constructed, and whose object is to deceive the
eye. Among these the Zootrope is, perhaps, the
most remarkable. This is Of a cylindrical shape,
