larceny: in the second degree, in taking from our

of this character not unfrequently involves more
labor than original article Of double its length

IHE CnoPs IN GEORGETOWN D1srRIcr.-The
heavy rains have been severely felt in Ill parts of
the country, and have materiall; interfered with
planting arrangements. This has been peculiarly
the case in those sections watered by the large
rivers, and particularly among the rice planters
The Georgetown Times says: saThe whole country
east and west has been flooded, and our rice coun-
try is now suffering from tile effects Of the deluges
pf rain frt ~
are large heshets on the Pee Dee Waccamaw
Black and santee Rivers, materially interfering
with the labors Of the planters, both in the prepa
ration Of their lands as well postponing their
planting, which usually commences about this time
We trust this is not preliminary to drought this,
summer, for with good season we might reason
ably hope for brighter prospects, as there appears
to be less difficulty IN organizing the plantations"

FRE.In consequence Of the lateness BE the
hour we we're unable to obtain full particulars OF
the fire of yesterday morning. It :inthe
shoe store of Mr.; D. O'NEAIs lin. King street,
between Calhoun and Vanderhorst; and was :occa-.
stoned by spark catching the SCOT in the chin
ney. The chimneys had been swept the day be
fore, and the SCOT had not been removed from
behind the fire board. This must have taken fire
and have caused the conaagration. The engines
soon deluged the store with water, and what the
fire had spared was 50 thoroughly soaked that the
entire stock was ruined. Mr.. O,NRAn was insured
IN TUPFER & LANES Insurance Agency for s600o
but this will not cover the amount Of his loss BY
$4,000 or $4,000. The building was owned by Mr.
PozaAssK1, and was insured at the Charleston In,
snrance antitrust companyfo for $se0o but as only
the store was injured his loss win not amount to
but few hundred dollars. sa.:D sr.aa5 s.a55

terprise, and we surmjse that twill not, be many
months before he is abished his old 1tand

CRY laPRovEMENTs.-At.t the last meeting, Of
City Council 1t was decided that the Board OF Fre-
masters be authorized to place the red-capped
posts near ali Of the fre wells in the city. This isa
measure that was long needed, in order to deaig-
nate the different localities, as many were unknown
even by the fremen. Their presence is now GER
tain index that well is close by, and q fire can be
more speedily checked when the water is obtained
without wasting time in hunting for wen. =. -
Since the days Of the Hon. Il. L. PmoKNEY, when
it was the popular Impression tant the shade trees
