Notice" of the Tax Collector OF st. Bartholomew
Parish, published to-day.
The Nc2MA1 Sc,HooL.-We invite attention t
: the opening of the second half session Of th
State Normal and High School for young ladies
This school, pronounced few days ago By tn
Agent of the PEABODY Fund the most fourishin
OF the kind in the South, offers such facilities 70
complete education, and at such reduced cost
that it cannot fail Of liberal patronage.
SALE OF THE PALMETTO IRON WoRKs-We woul
call attention to the sale of this valuable proper
BY Messrs. LErrcH & BRUINS this day. The Pal
metto Iron Works have long been considered b.
machirists and others as popular foundry. Sine
tho war these works were in active operation ant
have only recently been closed. This sale offer
inducements to capitalists that are rarely equaled
for tho machinery and tools are perfect, and
little capital is only necessary to put blast in thu
furnaces that will restore the building to it,
old status. The location is admirably adapted fol
+, steamboat work. the repairing or making Of boil
ers, &c.; and the foundry has always been one o
the features of Union Wharves.
TIE Rev. JAMES A. DUNCAN, D. D., Of Virginia
closed his course Of lectures before the Young
Mems Christian Association of this city last even.
ing. Wo speak only the universal sentiment Of
the crowds that have listened to his eloquent ut
terances, whom we express the hope that the
reverend gentleman viii make> it convenient
shortly to revisit us. Calm, but profoundly
earnest, logical yet rich and fowery, severely sar-
Castle yet oharmingly tender, he has left lasting
impression upon the minds Of his hearers. DR..
DUNCAN has consented to preach tonight in
Trinity Church, Hasel street. The public are in
vited to attend. The discourse will not be special
ly to the young men of the city as were his other
discourses. --.ae=
MCKAY rtS-CAMPBEIL.-We call attention to the
large catalogue sale advertised by these gentle
men. They offer the complete stock Of an ordina-
ry store, and their assortment embraces every arti
Gle that merchant could desire. These goods
are from first hands, and arc warranted to be of
thebest qualities. Because it is an auction sale,
many persons imagine that there is some defect in
the articles sold, but this is not the case with
Messrs. Nick. & c.; their goods are warranted, and
always give satisfaction. These sales are great
improvement on the old plan, and should be at
tended and patronize1 by every one who wishes to
invest. Fortunes are not easily made, but by
purchasing from NICK & G.. tho chances are ten
to one in favor Of such result.
EQUITY SALIs.-The reputation Of Tuesday as q
day Of barter and exchange was fully sustained
yesterday. A number of large real estate sales
were made, and some valuable property changed
ownership. These were principally Equity sales,
and the prices showed an increasing. willingness
to invest in this property.
A lot of land in Tradd street, with the buildings
thereon, sold for s2O50. similar lot and house
Mt the corner of Church and Atlantic streets
brought s2400. A lot in thetown of Chester, on
the west side of the Saluda road, realized $3.50.
The plantation on Cooper River known as Straw
berry, and containing 3ss acres Of river swamp and
100 acres of high land, brought only $4,000, while
Noisette's farm in the upper part of Ls city, and
containing only 164 acres brought the large price
Of s11 eco. This was at an average Of 500 per
acre. and proves the value of the lands adjacent to
the city. If this farm could bring such an exor-.
bitant price at this Gme it is cheering sign Of
what the future may bring forth. Several other
sales we're made, but the amounts realized we're not
extraordinary.
The COOP SAMARrrAN..-Professo "A. REaNoR,
otherwise known as the s'Good Samaritan" ," made
his appearance on the streets yesterday and soon
drew large crowd around him while he discoursed
fuently upon the incompatible virtues Of his
world renowned lotion. This he pretends cures
not only every III that human flesh is heir to, but
many ailments that as yet without local habi-
tation or name. The Professor took position
near the market steps about 81 A. NJ, and by his
meltlnous tones soon excited the curiosity Of the
passers, and many freedmen were induced to test
the efficacy of his drugs by submitting to littls
gentle friction at his hands.
Whether they experienced any relief is doubt
full, but their contortions underthe operation, and
sigbe ofrelief when it was over, showed that the
performance was not without some good effects.
The Professor only needs q few extra touches in
his toilet to make him act the part Of the Neapol
tan quack in Crispseo e Ia (6nsare to perfection.
He is evidently we'll posted, aud understands one
part Of his business thoroughly i. e., to talk well
and to the point. By his specious arguments he
will induce many to purchase his medical wonder,
but the wonder will be if they do not repent before
the bottle is empty, and throw it away.

The COMBINATION TRouPE.-The huge posters
that now ornament the different corners are still
the centres of attraction, and are daily surround
ed by admiring crowds. Unfortunately some Of
the high fingered gentry could not restrain their
curiosity, but commenced tearing the posters be-
fore the arrival ct the circus. Such conduct is
very reprehensible, and the parties should be at
once arrested The company have paid for the
privilege Of street advertising and it is obviously
unjust for the authorities to permit these depre-
daticns. - - ,s.s.s 1Sss= ss 55.zs.a.,
NIKE L1pMAN's show promises to be the finest
and most complete that. has visited our city for
years. It is apparently thorough in every depart
ment and will undoubtedly prove drawing sue
cess, but if his cartes de etsile: are dishonored,
NIKE may shake the dust from his feet and leave
us in SORROW. The police should, and no doubt
viii, prevent these acts when brought to their at
tenton, but as they are not ubiquitous, the depre-
datiops are often committed in their absence.
The great combination show will open on Tues.
day, the 18th, and will continue during the week.
The troupe comprises the most distinguished
Tumblers, Gymnasts, Acrobats Leapists, &C., that
the world has ever produced, and such as Charles
ton has never seen. We have butto refer to the ad
vertsement and know that the mducement there
offered Will prove mighty and viii prevail.
