MAYORS CounT, August 26.--An old colorcd
woman who evidently thought herself n Nightin-
gale or tho Black Swan, attracted quite crowd
in tho market by her discor,lant noics. The guar
slians, however, turned IL deaf car to her mclnous
accents, and cirried her to the Academy, where
she was examined, and not being proficient, was
sent to the Aims IIonse, where sho can employ hc-
tlmc in learning tunes.
Celia Anderson, sparkling colored lamscl, de-
sired to increase llcr wardrobe nj tho expense of
her ncighbors, butw detected and The dry goods
taken from her. She received n lecture OH her
disrcputablc conduct, aud was sent To a private
apartment for ten days. where she could study the
question moro lndcrstanaingly.
Jchu, who, like his ancestor drove friously
went past Trinity Church in Il rushing style, but
was summarily halted, captured and condemned
to pay IS for hs unlawful amusement.
The TRADD STREET CausEwAY.-The laborers
lave, for some time, been engaged in repairing
this canseway, and i'll restOriD., it to passable
condition. New breakwaters have been huill, and
the old ones strengthened by additional tmbcrs,
while the holes that wcre formed BY the action of
the tide aro filed mp with the marsh mud dug
from the lat. This ia taken at low titlo, and sub
scquonly brought to The brcakwatcr whero it is at
once thrown on the required spot. At first this
mud il quite soft, and easily fills NIL of The i,tersli
ces, but il soon lardcns in the and forms ll-
Iab!o and substantial pavement. Since tho war
this causeway became sncl popular resort that
il was impossible for il to remain in its tilapidaed
condition, and the authorities have conferred a
great favor on the public by their prompt aston
toward its renovation.
It is moro than probable, that as time advances
the city will improve, and greater part of the
burnt district will be rchnt, especially those
houses adjoining the water. Tho Western. portion
nf Broad and Tradd streets has been completely
devastated, bnt the situation possesses many nt-
tractiuns, and the ownors would probably have re-
built ere this, but for tho want of means. Wc
have now before us the prospect Of a good season.
and old Charleston should shnkc oil her lctlargy
nnd lsilcasncss and seek TO repair The damages Of
the past six years. Tho City Fathers have arca Is
set the example by improving this ca,lseway, and
it only remains for others to follow this example
and make the desert blossom with other plants
than those that now grow in such wild luxnriancc
