DKpARTURE OF THE HANLoNs.-The HAuoNe
have gone and Charleston has returned to its for
mer state Of tranquility. There Is nothing now on
hand to disturb the even flow Of its existence; no
shows Of any description, and che old city win
have to hunt about fer some amusement to infuse
little life in the community, and give them an
idea Of the outside world .i.s.r &..s: H.
During the tins the HAN1oNs were with u.s. we
were suffering from q very ,dsagreeable attack OF
the weather, which operated against the Troupe
very ssnfavorably. Notwithstanding e!accommo-
dation afforded by the street cars, many were un-
able to attend, and it was q subject Of universal
regret that the skies were SO unpropitious.
We have seldom enjoyed the pleasure Of seeing
o performance in which the actors were more au
fat in their profession and where their feats were
more astounding. Notwithstanding the smal1ness
Of the Hail. and the absence Of all facilities to dis
play their their talents, the audiences were by no
means small, and when the inclemency Of. the
weather Is considered, Charleston was nightly well
represented. ...@.,. ~. x
fer their future success, and sincerely hope that
they may not encounter in Anguish such weeping
skies as greeted them in this city.

raid on the groceries Of gentleman and supplied
himself quite literally. But his charitable design
was frustrated by officer Of the law, and his in

Phoebe Harrison, Norris Higgins, and crowd of
Witnesses, all colored, came up, and the two gave
statement Of an extensive quarrel and riot, in
which it appeared that the former threw tin pan
OF slops at the man and hit him, and the man fred
pistol at the woman and missed her, all Of which
being directly at variance with polite behavior,
and contrary to Law, Phoebe was fined $40 and
Norris s20 to the wonderment Of all the party, but

LIaHr LIGHT The proposal made to the city
by Mr.. PozNANsM to apply his multiplying patent
to the street lamps, and thereby dniniAh the cash
expenditure, comes before the CITY eoureA Solmirr i
row night for consideration. This subject has
been laid over st the last two meetings and it is
fair to presume viii at length be acted upon The
Committee who were appointed 10 investigate tho
matter reported favorably, aud bit for pressure
Of other business the proposal would have been
considered before !..ssss. .ss..t. w. "
One advantage resulting from the favorable de-
cision Of the Council viii be the increase Of the
number Of lamps, and thus give the city what she
has long needed, streets whare darkness is at G
discount. At present many Of them are unsafe,
and rnmble in the dark may be attended with nm
pleasant consequence.
Mr.. PozNAEsK1's patent has been discussed so
often that We do not wish to again discuss it's
merits; the facts before the community, and it
is for them and tho Council to decide, and we sin
cerelX hope that no further delay will be made but
that Ms subject Will ba thorohghly. 5discuaaad dnd
some permanent decision obtained. A further
postponement can result IN no good, and one month
Is surely sufficient time TO obtain all the inforna-
tion necessary N, .s 3.3a; .tg7; :. \: 555It.;

sembled In this church yesterday, both IN the
morning and evening, to greet their neH,p pastor

81 that the congregation had worahipped together,
and they gladly availed themselves q7 the priyi-
lege Of once more hearkening to the word Of God
