MOUNT PLEAsANT.-On Sunday afternoon last
the Rev. L. MULLER, Of the German Lutheran
Church in Hasel street, at tho solicitation OF te
German residents, preached at the Congregations
Church in Mount Pleasant. The Germans attend
ed en- n,dsse and seemed much edited with the
sermon Of this eloquent Divine This, II we are
not mistaken, is the first time that divine service
has been conducted in the German language IN
this ancient village.
ApvERTIsINa.-The Scotch american Jo,Hnd'
says: ''The British people advertise far more e1-
tensively than careless observers n this side OF
the Atlantic have any notion Of 1t is vulgar
conception with many here we know, that this is
the great country for advertising; and yet those
who have constant access to the leading nome
journals know how absurdly mistaken people are
who entertain that idea. Take the London daily
and weekly press-take Manchester, Liverpool
Glasgow, Dutiin, Edinburg and we venture 20 say
for one advertiser in such cities as New YORK.
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and even Chl-
cago (Which is the best advertised place on the
Continent there are at least three advertisers In
the British cities named. TIE Liverpool Posi- the
the Manchester Guardian, the Glasgow Herald
show even greater difference than this, taking
population into account. New York itself Is lar
behind st. Louis. Cincinnati, Chicago, Pntsburg
and Buffalo in this respect"
CANINE SAaAcITY.--The Wilmington Ecennlg
Star tells the following pathetic tale: "Neariy
year since. Captain 1. B. GRANGER, OF this city
having purchased an infant dog, of ferocious
species, proceeded to trim his ears, large pair Oh
shears being used in performing the operation
The circumstance had been almost forgotten by
the owner, but not so by the dog, as we will pro-
ceed to show.
"a few days ago the Captain brought into his
Office, for Purp's' consideration, large piece OF
beef fresh from the market; and wishing to dl-
vide it, the shears with which Purp's ears had
been clipped we're produced for that purpose. But
no sooner had FPurps' eyes fallen on the terrible
instrument of his former torture than he let fall
his tail from that graceful curl in which he is wont
to carry it, and started at greyhound speed for his
home in the neighborhood Of Fifth and Orange
''This sagacious dog may be seen at any time
about The banking house of Mr.. JAMES DAWSON (or
most anywhere else). He is good teller, because
he can tell them shears whenever produced; but
he don't like to have them drd,on at sight. When
you do that the instrument is protested"

SUhMRRvItLE.-Few Of our readers who have
not lately been in Summerville have any idea of
the growth and improvement of this little town
during the past few years. 1t is altogether unlike
its anti-former SELF and the great secret Of this
steady and gratifying development has been the
uniform salubrity of its climate. Summeryille
long prior to the war, enjoyed considerable repu
tation as resort for invads, particularly such as
suffered from tubercular diseases; its climate
uniting the advantages of proximity to the sea-
and good, wholesome country air, largely freight
ed with the aroma of our long-leaved native pine,
considered specially beneficial to those afflicted
with dseases,oft the respiratory organs. Situated on
a spine barren" it has always been exempt from
malsrious influences; boon that can be claimed
for few localities in the low country. Thus We
learn. that this year, when intermittent fever
and the kindred types of miasmatic disease have
basn nreyalent through the length and breadth
of the land. Summervile has not had single
case OF it. The doctors threaten to emlgrate.
The merchsnts and professional men OF Charles-
ton ara gradually finding out the advantages OF
residence in the country, 80 convenient 10 theii
nlace of business; and, from what we learn, We
shonld think that even larger number woulo
sva;l themselves of these advantages II the ac'
,onmodation train would be little more accom-
-,odstino-start later from the city and run faster
snnmerville. We think, bids fair, ere many years,
=, hecone fayorite resort. AS an estrspot to IN
valids suffering from lung or heart elsease' "h0
have spent the winter III Florida or the west lu-
dies wa know of no better locality anywhere ID
the South.

The CHARGE OF THE STREET BR1aADE.-The
rus in ur6e has always been fsvorite theme
with town poets and essayists; and vet by sim
gular incongruity, grass growing in the Streets
has ever been by-word and reproach to city.
Why there should be such an insuperable objec-
ton to have anything ''green" in the city (save
what is brought there from the country we never
could fully comprehend. Whether true or not we
are unable to say; but we have been told that
during the latter part of the late siege of Charles
ton, and for some months after the evacuation,
it was not an uncommon sight to see doves and
partridges in our streets and in the Burnt
District
But the city has been in process OF reconstruc-
ton since then. This reproach is being removed
and, intent upon this laudable design, the street
brigade is actively engaged in removing every
blade Of the cumbering verdure-making hay
while the sun shines. We hope the time will not
be far distant when there will be no Burnt District
in Charleston, and the streets be kept clean of
grass: without the interposition of Gen. Movers
forces.
