DEcEAsE OF A WELL KNOWN CLERdY11AN.-
Through letter received in this city we learn tho
painful news of the death OF Rov. William Crook
widely known through the State as one of the old
est and most laborious Ministers CT tho Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in this State. He
peacefully breathed his last on Monday evening,
18th November, at halfpast o'clock, at nis resi-
dence near Fort Hill, York District.

ASENsAr1oN PARApE.-Yesterday afternoon three
attaches of the Btack Crook company created no
little excitement on the streets by attiring them
selves III burlesque cos tunes, end traversing the
popular routes at Gipin speed, on black charg-
ers. The young ''ngs" we're especially edited
and followed in an unmitigated swarm, cheering
at the top of their voices. One Of the mounted
advertisers was arrayed in green tights, with tas-
sells, &c., depending from his skull cap covering
masked face; the other two were costlmed in red
flannel, and rode in the rear Of their ostensible
leader. They finally wound up their doings by re-
tiring to the yard of the Hibcrnian Hall, at the
gate Of which a host Of juveniles gathered, and
only left when satisfied that the sensationists
would appear no more.
rare, to meet any one not as "blue as all the rest
Of us. People from the country used to be looked
upon as ''green, but the hue now most preva-
lent among the gentlemen from the rural parts is
unquestionably of the ceruean order. "CJtton tax"
- sfactors advances"-'' -''hard times"-"st~y laws"
and other such cheerful topics strike the ear at
every turn. This is the case not here or there,
in few unfortunate localities, but everywhere
throughout the South-perhaps we ought to say al
most everywhere; for friend, just from Abbevlle
informs Us that during recent tour through that
District, he was gratifed to find the planters not
disposed to grumbe more than usually at this sea-
son Of the year. to admit even that they have made
fair average crops of corn and Of cotton and that
while they have made no money, they have at
least the wherewithal to live comic .tably during
the next twelve months. Our friend is reliable
man. and we are therefore bound to accept even
his statement in relation to the fact of actually
having seen with his own eyes sundry 'shoats"
running at large in that District. Sausages and
spare-ribs, therefore, are not counted among the
unattainable luxuries OF our Abbevine friends.
EVERY Doc HAS HIS DAY.-The dog tax has
always been bone of contention in tho State
Legislature, each Representative urging That GER
tain dogs should be exempt from the tax but it
has generally been decided that dogs must not
live useless life, and their owners were compelled
to contribute their quota to the support Of the
Government. This enactment has had but little
effect on the canine species; they have fourished
and multiplied, and each cepsus has shown an
increase in their numbers. Legislation has failed
{c kLair -o1
to let each dog have his day. and do his utmost to
aid the country by increasing the revenue. In
this connection, it is gratifying to state that, in
the new tax bill lately prepared by General
Candy, this clause has been retained, without eny
debate, and the dogs will hereafter be considered
an influential class in the community, though as
yet they have rot advanced sufficiently in the
social scale to be accorded the rights of suffrage
The black and tans are, however, by far the most
popular, and it is fair to presume that, with the
increased advantages now afforded, they will
eventually become far advanced in civilization, and
will resent the poll-tax as an indignity. 0rnnts

MEETING OF GERMANS THIS EvENNe.-Our Ger
man feow-citzens we learn from the "Charlestoncr
Zeitung" Of this morning, will meet at the engine
house in Chalmers-street at u o'clock this evening
to consider the propr;ety Of sending back by the
Bremen bark 'Gauss," ten or more tierces Of rice,
for the relief of the destitute in Sweden. This, it
is proposed, should be done by the Germans Of
Charleston as thank-ofering, for the preserva-
tion Of their friends during long seavoyage, and
their safe arrival at this port. As they, moreover
came in on Thanksgiving Day, there is peculiar
propriety in our German felow-citizers making
this acknowledgment to the goodness of Proyi-
dence.
1t is proposed, also, We understand, to present
to Captain Wieting new suit of colors for the
"Gauss," in appreciation OF his urbanty, his skill
ful seamanship, his many laities Of head and
neart, which make him the right man in the right
place. Such mark of esteem is specially his due
trom the Germans In Charleston, as it is under
stood he has come to this port at positive loss,
rather than carry double freight to New York, or
other Northern ports-all because Of his friendship
for our city and her people.
