LOCAL MISCELLANY.
Sunday School Exhibition.

Dunudy GClOOl hXnMQ0nS
When old Robert Raikes founded his first
Sunday School in London for the poor and
INDECENT of that great city, he could have lit.
tie imagined that he was founding an institu-
ton which was to keep pace with the progress
Of civilization, aud to prove in ali climos the
nursery of the church, the hand maid of re-
ligion, and the pioneer in temperance, mo-
rality, and all good works. Such it has proved
to be in all countries, and in our own, every
class and condition of men give to it cheer
fnl 'God-speed in its philanthropic designs.
The benefits of this institution are fully ap-
preciated BY our community, aud we have in
successful operation schools Of each particular
church, that will compare favorably with any
town in the Valley. The largest number of
pupils are attached to the school of the N.
h. Church South, and from the vandalism of
the war and other causes, the necessities of an
enlarged Library have become indispensable.
10 meet this want, in part, it is proposed to
give public Exhibition on Tuesday evening,
June 18th, the church being properly ar
ranged and decorated for tie occasion. The
little Lambs" as the Savior has so lovingly
termed them, have been thoroughly instruct
ed in the task before them, and each will no
doubt well perform the allotted part In the
vocal entertainment proposed for the occa-
sion, the teachers of the school and some of
the most skillful performers of the town will
assist, and rare and varied treat may be
confidently expected. The object is COM
mcndable, and we hope all who have at heart
tue moral aud religious instruction of the
young, will manifest their appreciation by at
tending themselves, and inducing neirhbors
and friends to do the same The country
people, it is hoped. will lend helping hand,
rs the blessings of a Sabbath School are con-
fined to neither creed or boundaries. The
price of tickets will be-to persons not con-
nccted with the school, so cents; teachers
of the school, % cents; scholars, 10 cents.

occasion:

TIE FINANCIAL CRIsIs.-As the returns
OF the collectors and receivers of the Internal
Revenue come in, they furnish startling and
alarming proof of the collapse of the great
bubble OF Northern prosperity. North, East
and West, the gigantic incomes of 1865 seem
to have been terribly dwarfedi in 1866. Many,
like bladders- have totally collapsed. while
OF hers have shrunk to almost nothing.
In g!ancing over the many lists of incomes
published by the Northern papef', we do not
recoIIcct an instance in which an individual
tax payer, or a company, seem to h ,yc been as
prosperous in 1856 as in 1868.
ia some Of the Western States we have n
falling oil OF seventy per cent, reported from
the returns Of 1863.
In the terrible aggregate of loss, very little
account is taken Of the financial condition of
the South, but we all know that our condition
is infinitely worse than it was in 1865 and
leading New York paper, after a careful
review of Financial matters sadly confesses that
dizziness, gloom and dependency prevails

The FIRST SHAD OF THE SEAsoN.-The guests OF
the Charleston Hotel were treated this morning to
an unusual delcacy. The first shad Of the season
were served up, not in in6nitisimal slices, but in
quantities sufficient to furnish each plate with
liberal allowance. Major Horbach is ono OF those
fortunate individuals who knows how to keep q
hotel, and he is determined that his guestsIshal
never want for any delicacy that can be procured.
The shad in question were caught in Savannah
river, and it is the opinion of the knowing ones
that they had made the trip solely for the benefit
of the Charleston Hotel guests.
