MRRcHUL MAN Is MfRcrFUL TO HIs BEAST
We wore struck with the truth Of this assertion in
noticing in our daily rambles, the horse OF dray-
man, whose head had been protected from the
sums rays by largo wet sponge which was attaon-
ed to the head stall. Instances are rare where the
horse suffers from sunstroke, but they are Wen
authenticated, and the heat has any rae deoln-
tating effect that is injurious to the working pow
ers of the beast. To many persons the horse Is
the sole means Of their support, and If ne should
become sick or die they would be thrown upon
their own resources. 1t is obvious, then, tEat
careful man would use every means to preserve
the vigor Of his animal, and We commend the
action of the human ;lrayman to the fraternity.
MAYORS CoURT.-Two darkies, who did not nave
the fear of either God or man before their eyes,
we're caught desecrating sanctuary, and after a
lecture on the immortality OF their course were sent
to the lookup for ten days, where they can medi-
tate on their folly.
The evil effects of strychnine whiskey were pam
fully shown in the conduct Of two asprants for
fame and free lodgings. Having deposited seVerai
glasses of the mixture undar their waistcoats they
became belhgerent, and, taking the corner OF hlng
and Calhoun streets as their arena, INDUCED IN q
few passes, but were separated by the police, who
placed them in durance vile. A mild fine Of 81 was
imposed, and tae heroes discharged, breathing
threatenings and slaughter.

IMPORTANT TO THE LADEs.-The fair sex need
few hints from any one, and especially from the
so.called lords Of creation, but we venture to call
their attention to the advertisement OF Messrs.
SroLL, WEBB. 4 Co., in another column. These
gentlemen know that the best antidote for the
dullness of the times is to have complete stock
of goods, and to sell them at the lowest rates.
The Charleston House has long-established
reputation to sustain, and the proprietors are de-
termined not to be affected by the weather or the
times, but are prepared to- offer inducements to
the public that will make them forget the depres-
sion in the money market and invest their spare
change.
One of the greatest pleasures in this life, espe-
caly to the ladies, is the time spent in shopping,
but this pleasure is enhanced when there is posi-
tive knowledge that bargains will be secured. The
goods offered by Messrs. SToLL, WEBB Co. have
been selected with care and are the best that could
be procured. They have endeayored to accommo-
date the price to the times, and satisfied that
their stock in quantity, quality and variety, is hard
to be beat. The summer season has barely COM
menced, and those who have not completed their
10
Charleston House call, and they will leave their
money behind them, but obtain more than an
equivalent.
RoBBER1Es. long period Of quiet and
freedom from the midnight depredators, they have
again commenced their vile career Of crime. The
books at the Detective Office show that in the last
week several robberies have been committed, but
in every instance the parties have been arrested
and the plunder recovered.
A slight coDjugal misunderstanding led to the
theft Of $500 in gold, $50 in currency and $S7 in
Southwestern Railroad Bank bills. The loser sus-
the information with the detectives, who succeeded
in recovering nearly the entire amount.
A robbery Of $500 in jewelry and $40 in currency
was committed in Spring street, but the same
manipulating process brought the hidden articles
to light and gladdened the eyes Of the owner by
their restoration.
The premises Of MIR. CLAUS VoLNER in King
street corner Of Romney, we're nefariously entered
by an enterprising fowl thief who was desirous Of
raising chickens; trusting to the darkness Of the
night he pursued his unholy calling boldly, but
was discovered and compelled to take refuge un-
der the house, from which place, after short con
troversy, he was extricated, though not until he
had received q memento Of the adventure, that
will keep him in the right path in future.
Some sacrilegious freedmen who we're on the
make, succeeded in mounting to the roof OF Grace
Church and robbed it of q quantity Of sheet lead,
but their sin found them out, and they we're cap
tured and confined The lead was disposed Of
bat has been recovered, and the culprits will re-
ceive the punishment due their misdeeds.
