DEAF, DUhrB AND BLIND ASYLUM. During a re-:
cent visit to Raleigh, N. c., tsays the Whining ton
hcen'ng Sd' it was our pleasure TO visit this e1-
cellent institution, and, through tho courtesy of
OF its accomplished principal, Mr.. ". j. PALMER
We we're conducted through its different depart
ments. There are, at present eighty pupils, and
applications have been made to I'LL tho building 10
its utmost capacity. It's corps OF teachers is M
surpassed by any institution of tue kind, and Mr..
PALMER has shown rare talent in soliciting anu
recommending such for their several positions.
We cannot forbear mentioning Mr.. JouS SrMpsos
the blind professor in ni,isc--sucll genius, such
delicacy of touch, suc display of soul, VIC have
seldom seen in the most distinguished pianist Of
the day.
f'sE lfoRATITUDE. An adopted daughter of q
lady residing IN Spring street, Mrs. KIosE, tthe
girl only about fifteen years otl) Il has been as-
certained, has been stealing from Mrs. K at DIFF
ferent times during the present month about s17O
money laid by Gin case Of sickness" or other I'm
forseen exigency. Mrs. JOSEPHINE Apsorr who
resides in the vicinity, it appears hus ncited her
to this deed of tnrpitude. The girl invested her
il-gotten gains in the purchase or gew-gaws and
nnery, yclept dry gooas-the greater part Of which
have been recovered. Mrs. ABBOTT shared in tho
possession Of said dry goods Officers MYERS and
DAVIS had this case in hand, and arrested the
guilty parties, who have since been turnoh oyer to
magistrate for prosecution.
BROAD STREET is in fair way, We believe, of

In the construction Of the new pavement The
City Engineer, ne are informed, has been engaged
for several days, with compass level, theodolitc.

ments, to get the proper slope Tho railroad track
We presume will have to be taken ,ip and relaid:
this, however, will be merely temporary inter.
rnption, during which time the blue Hne cars will
have monopoly Of the travel.
1HE CHARGE OF THE STREET BnIaApE-Tbe
rus In urde has always been a favorite thome
with town poets and eBsayists; and vet by sin-
gular incongruty, 'grass growing in the streets,
has ever been by-word and reproach to a city.
Why there should bs such an insuperable obec-
ton to have anything "green" in the city (saye
what ia brought there from the country VIC never
could fully comprehend. Whether true or lot we
are unable to say; but we have been told that
during the latter part Of the lao siege of Charlos
ton, and for Some months after the evacuation,
1t was not an uncommon sight to see doves and
partr1dges in our streets aud in the "Burnt
District"
But the city has been in process OF recot,struc-
ton since then. This reproach is being removed,
and, intent upon this laudsble design, the street
brigade is actively engaged in removing every
blade of tho cumborng yerdure- making hay
while the snn shines. We hope the time will moi
be far distant when there will be no Burnt District
In Charleston, and the streets be kept clean o
eraRs, without the intorposition OF Con. Mowers
forces.
sU1rlrR1T1LLE.-Few of our readers vino have
not lately been in Summerra hayo any idea o
the growth and improvement OF this ltt!o tow

it's anti-formor self and tho great secret OF this
steady and gratifying development has boon the
uniform salubrty Of its climate. Summeryllo
