Board OF IRaDr.--We notice All extra meeting
OF tho Board of Trade in called to meet ut the
Club Room Of the Charleston Hotel this day nj ono
7. NJ. Wc understand Tint tho reply of tho COM
manlng General TO Tho Committee appointed by
the Board in reference TO certain orders issued by
him will be submitted. AS this IS q very jmror-
tnnt matter to the mercantile community goneral-
]y, it is to bo hopci there will DO full attendance
OF tho mombcrs present. Mu presume there will
bo no objection TO outsiders attending, MS tho
Board represents the business portion Of Charles
ton.
AN IMrRnrtMENT.-While trnnsactinc business
day or two since on The wharycs, wc noticed
what appeared to bo quito an improvement on tho
nld-fashioncd mode Of cmpiyns tho mud Hats in
which tho material taken out Of tho docks by the
dredging machine arc deposited Capt John FER
ousoN, who III intercRtcd i'll OIL improved drcdgo,
ana who il now engaged in deepening BRowH &
Co.'s docks, lad his steam tut, Reli.} attached to
each 1at load as it filed, and tuwcd long
distance into tho river whero il was cmpied. Tlie
old plan WIS to haul omt tho flats by u hawscr at
achel 10 tho head of the pier, tho mud being frc-
quently deposited within stones throw of the
duck from which it Was taken, thereby ensuring
tho Immediate return OF part of tho mud eithor
into the dock which was being decpencd, Or into
its neighbors. The present plan appears 10 obviatc
l,dis dilicnlty-its being carried oll to distance
vii 'ch should prevent any OF il returning.
MAD Ooo.-We havo fortunately been thus fur
spared tll,a inlcton of mad dogs. and tho canincs
have beep n, ,'towod 10 wander about, Happy in their
upmuzzlctl col, 'dition but tho unfortunate animals
will now learn tn at oyory dog hns his day, and if
they wish 10 enjoy long lifo they must lio low
and keep dark. cp,1rt was circulated OH Mon-
day morning that rabiu canine seen near tho
cornor of Church and Cumberland strcots, and
Sergeant PouLSoT was sent 10 dispatch tho least.
On arriving oil the field, q tmall yaller dcrg wns
discovered roofing in pilo Of bricks but
showing no symptoms Of madness beyond oc-
casionally biting Mt brick. This was,
however, considered cnsas beai, and pistol shot
6rod, which took effect in tho dogs neck, AMI
caused him to hug hin Notifications closer Three
shots were fired without dispatching linn, when
tho dorg, becoming tlisSustcd, wont into stoie
md laid down behind some bacon. This action OH
his part rcdoublcd tho alarm, and ho WAS finally
dispatched by q blow from club. No post NOR
tenn was held on tho boty of tho lamented bcnst,
but it is now tho general impression that it WAS
''nuch ado about nothing resulting only in tho
death of an innocent dog.
WANT OF IDENTITY CAUSED By IMPROPER NUM-
pER1Sa OF HousEs.-We havo oficn noticed tho
irregular numbering of tho houses in this city,
and thu confunion TINT in caused Tho account
some houses rejoice in two numbers, both widely
different from each other, while in othor sections
only few nre thus ornnmentcd; tho usolessness of
such numeration ia ut onco apparent. Under thosc
circumstances, correct directory is almost nh I'M
possibility, ns but fcw OF the houses can DO dosig
mated by numbers, and many Of these may havo
duplicates on the same bloch. AS n directory is
yearly enterprise, wc would suggest to Tho noxt
parties WHO engage in this undertaking to combine
tho proper numbering of tho houses with their
task and assess each owner email amount suf-
fcent to cover tho c1ponso of preparing aud afix-
ing those necessary landmarks.
1t this plan is pursued, Charleston will DO
Changed from tho present terr,t incoqnid city
whercin all who run may read, and whcrc any
roai5nnca oar bo God
not be done in the burnt district, but tho streets
intersccicd by that locality arc well known to all in
the community. Wo were induced TO make these
remarks from an incident that has been brought
10 our attention An advertiser who had yainly
endeavored to soil ccrtnin property, was disgustcd
ht the want Of applicants, and could trace it to no
causo but tho absence Of number on hia house
.Boing convinced that this alo6e was tho causo hc
moyod to n building that was thus ornamentcd;
removed his advertisement; restored his identity,
and sold his property. Ecrbnm sat sapien,i.
