AHERIoAN SCALES AT THE PARIS ExposTTIoN.-
A dispatch by Ocean Telegraph announces the
fact that these celebrated scales take the first
premiums 1.-TWO medals) at the Paris Exposition,
and are mentioned in the award as the Standard
Scales. lie Aonitem Uaiuerse, the official journal
Of the French Empire, says:
Among the e1positions Of the American section
which attract the greatest interest," it is necessary
to specially mention the collection OF weighing In
struments exhibited BY the house Of Fairbanks
Co., Of st. Johnsbury, Vt, which has, for long
time, sustained great reputation in this branch
Of manufactures. This collection embraces the
most complete assortment Of balances, from Sin
gie gramns to thirty thousand killogrammes ca
pacity. The same house manufactures scales
capable Of Weighing FIVE hundred thousand kilo-
graEmes. These Weighing instruments universally
used In America, are adapted to all the different
systems Of weiehts and measures in use In every
country This exposition deserves to be recon-
mended to all our mechanics and farmers, and TO
everybody interested in perfect weighing instru-
ments.
Messrs. J. & F. DAWSON No. SO East Bay, are
the Charleston Agents for these unrivalled scales
sHApx TRxEs.-N gives us great pleasure to OBJ
serve the care which is being taken Of the trees
around the City Hall and Guard House, and to
note the airy and strong boxes which have been
built 10 protect them. This good example of the
City Fathers, we hopo, will be generally followed
by that portion Of our citizens who have planted
them in front Of their residences, thereby beauti-
fying the streets and making their houses at least
gppear more comfortable. Some OF our psople,
We regret to say, have been very careless in this
matter, by setting out good and shady trees and
then forgetting to box them, while others have
neglected to plant at all. But we think the pecu-
liar heat Of our present season should prompt all
10 prepare for coming summer, which no doubt
win resch this in warmth; and there is nothing, in
our mind that can promote comfort as well as
health in city az its streets being well lined with
nmbrageous trees. Charleston never was more
healthy than when her sidewalks were crowded
with them, and the folly Of city administration
who had them destroyed brought an unusual
amount Of sickness on the city for many years
after. With the exception OF the burnt district
they are now replanted and quite numerous, and
in the Upper Wards really abundant; but, as we
have hnted before they generally lack the same
protection nom horses and other means Of de-
strucion, and We bring the good and timely action
of Council before our readers, hoping they may
profit by 30 excellent q precedent.

An A1D no THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.-The Board
of Underwriters have for some time been prepar-
ing the necessary paraphernalia for Protective
Company, in order to secure the property usually
destroyed or wasted at q fire. This company is
composed Of the present city detective force, who
are required to be at every fire and to aid in pre-
serving the property from loss or destruction. In
order to effect this end, they have been furnished
with six tarpaulins, which are to be spread over
the goods in the store or building and thus pre-
serve them from any damage by water, and In
case the fire should render removal necessary,
the same tarpaulins can be used to transport the
stock to place Of safety. Since this Protective
Company was organized, Lieut.. HENDRICKS, and
his corps have been present at every fire and have
had the tarpaulins ready in case there should be
any need Of their services. Fortunately the dam
age has been 80 slight that it did not require the
aid Of the Protectives to secure any property and
the Office has almost been q sinecure; but the
Board are determined to be prepared for all emer-
gencies and haye in addition to t. tarpaulins,
ordered wagon to be built that would transport
the cloths to the fire. This wagon was received
Yesterday, and from personal inspection, VIC are
prepared to state that it is admirably adapted
