x THE CRops IN GEORGETOWN D1sTRIcT.-The
heavy rains have been severely felt in all parts Of
tho country sand have materially interfered with
plsnting arrangements. This has been peculiarly
the case in those sections watered by the large
rivers, and particularly among the rice planters.
The Georgetown times says: sarhe whole country
east and west,h been flooded, and our rice coun-
try now suffering from the effects Of the deluges
of rain in the up country. We understand there
are large freshets on the Pee Dee, Waccamaw,
Black and santse Rivers, materially interfering
with the labors Of the planners, both in the prepa
ration Of their lands as well as possponing their
planting, which usually commences about this time:
We trust this is not preliminary to drought this
summer, for with good season we might reason
ably hope for brighter prospects, as there appears
to be less difficulty organizing the plantations.

hour we were lunableto obtain full particulars Of
the fire of yesterday morning. It originated in the
shoe store Of. Mr.. D.. o'NEsA1rin King street,
between Calhoun and Yanderhorstts and was occa-
stoned BY q spark catching the sootsm; the CHM
-ney. The achimneys had been swept the day be-
fore, and the SCOT had not been- removed afrom
behind the Are-bcard@ This mnst have taken fire
and have caused. the ,confagra6on. The engines
soon deluged. tho store with water, and what the
fire had spared was so thoroughly soaked that the
entire, stock was ruined Mr. oNRAI was insured
in TuprER q L1NE's Insurance Agency FOL, $4,000,
but this will not coverthe amount Of his loss by
$1,000 or $1,000. The building was owned q by Mr..

the store was injured sless#ill not amount to
but few hundred dollars, >, IL ,, - r. -

CRY sImpRovEnENrs.---At:s,the the last meeting Of
City Council it vas decided that the Board Of Fire
masters be. authorized to place the ;red-capped
posts near all Of the fire wells in the city. This is
measure that was long needed, in order to desg-
nate the different localities, as many were unknown
even By the fremen. Their presence is now a cer-
tain index that well is close by and FIRE can be
more speedily checked when the water is obtained
without wasting time in hunting for well.
Since the days Of the Hon. Il. Z. PNoKNEy, when
it was the popular impression that the shade trees
in the streets tended to make the city unhealthy,
the Consc,ipt Fathers have regretted the whole
sale destruction then made of the forrest kings,
and have endeayored to repair the misfortune by
setting out number Of young shoots in different
parts of the city. These were tempting tt-bits to
the half starved horses who were hitched near by,
and many of the trees we're denuded Of their bark.
In order to prevent this, and at the same time add
to the appearance Of the sidewalk, the authorities
have recently enclosed their charges with neat and
ornamental boxes. Several Of these have been
placed in position on Meeting street, and if there
js any vitality In the trees few years will change
The condition of this thoroughfare considerably.
There are few things more grateful than shady
walk on summer day, and from the present prep
aratious the prospect Of enjoying this luxury is
not far distant.
