GEORGIA STATE LoTTERY.-The new regime hal
| caused many changes, but none, perhaps more
noticeable than the past and present occupants O
the building in Broad street known as the Elmort
Insurance House. Before the war it was, as Its
name indicates, an Insurance building, but has
since been occupied by the Georgia State Lottery
This lottery, however, is not liable to the charges
usually made against these institutions, for it was
organized for charitable purposes, and the ticket
holder has al assurance of regaining his money,
often with o considerable addition. The agency IN
Broad street has been fitted up for the purpose,
and those who desire to try their luck in the wheel
Of fortune can obtain the tickets that will either
augment or decrease their pile of ready money.
There are few enterprises that arc conducted with
more fairness than this lottery, and we know OF
few places where q speculation has less chances OF
q failure. The grand drawings take place during
this and next month, and parties wishing oreahze
should invest at once.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE STREET CARs.-We
have before spoken Of tho danger resulting from
the practice of jumping from the cars while IN
motion, but little thought that fatal example
would so soon be given. Yesterday afternoon,
while Conductor ARMsrRoNa's car was in Went
worth street, near Pitt, q colored boy, about ten
years Of age, endeavored to jump from the 'front.'
platform. Not understanding the art, he leaped
backward, and fell, but instantly tried to regain
his place, and might have been successful but for
basket which he had upon his arm, which re-
tarde6 his motions. He retained his hold on the
hand rail, we learn, but was dragged under the
car, and the forward wheel passed over his chest,
crushing and manging it terribly. The car was

promptly procured the attendance OF DR.. L. b.
MEMNaER, who did everything in his power, but
the injuries were too severe and death ensued in
few hours. No blame, as far as we could ascer-
tain, can be attached either TO the conductor or
tho driver, no notification was given by the boy
of his intention to jump off, and the car was i'm
mediately stopped as soon as the accident was
known.
SEan-ANNUAL EXAMINATION OF THE CHARLESTON
CoLLEGE.-Among the institutions of learning that
are scattered throughout the State none rank
higher than the College of Charleston. Fosterod
by the city it gradually extended its sphere Of use
fulness, and at the opening Of the war was both
tourishng and prosperous. The rolls of its alumni
contain tho names of many whom the people de-
lighted to honor, and whose proudest boast was to
claim Charleston College as their Alma Mater.
Notwithstanding the war and the changed condi-
tion OF the country, the College is still prosperous.
At first, when the exercises wers resumed, it was
found necessary to lower the standard OF admission
somewhat in order to accommodate those appi-
cants whose studies had been interrupted by the
war, but the students with commendable zeal have
pressed forward, and the curriculum is now thei
same as it was before that period.
At present tho College has an attendance Of
fifty students, the majority of whom are Charles
tonians, but few arc from tho country, and have
been induced to give this College the preference
on account of the known character and reputation
of the Faculty. 1t was thought at one time that
the number of country students would be largely
in excess, and though this has not been the case,
it is expected that the attendance will be much
better at the commencement Of the next term. The
College is not provided with dormitories, but ar
could be easily made with residents Of

students to finish their course at moderate OK

The semi-annual examination was held in the
Presidents room, this week, the Senior, Sophomore
and Freshman classes being examined. The ez-
crcises will conclude on Monday and Tuesday by
the examination of the Junior class. The stu
dents showed throughout the sexamination (Which
was both oral and written) o complete knowledge
of the questions propounded, and by their pro-
ficiency proved that they entertained no fear OF
being woolled.
