THE RAFyLf OF Col. IAURENs' GOLD SNUFF Box.
The Baltimore Gazette says that for some time
valuable gold snuff box, studded with ffty-six dia-
monds, one of the relics Of the days Of the Revo-
luton, has been at the jewehy establishment Of
Messrs. WILLIAMS, Brown & Son, at the corner OF
Baltimore and Charles streets, to be rafed for the
benefit OF Mrs. LAURENs, the owner, widow lady
of South Carolina, who lost all her means by the
late war. It was presented by LOUIS XVI of
France to Colonel JOHN LAuRENs, Of South Caro-
lima, an aide to General WASHINGTON. It remained
in the family until necessity compelled its dispo-
sal On Friday last the drawing for the historical
relic took place, and it was awarded to ticket No.

CorToN TRs.-Those interested in Cotton Ties
ara requested to call at the Ships Cotton Press,
corner of Anson and Hayne streets, and examine o
bale Of cotton compressed with the LEWIS Cotton
Tie. Tais Tie differs from all others of the same
class Of Ties, called Self-fastening Ties, in its
having an outside adjustment, without which the
inventor contends no band can be properly or ex-
peditiously secured to bale Of cotton. MIR. LEWIS
is citizen Of Charleston. The Ties on the bale
were made for him in $780, wher he was prepared
to place them in the market. The war has left
him without the means to introduce them, and he
is anxious that some capitalist who can see money
in the invention should take an interest in the
patent. The patent broadly covers the outside ad-
ustment in this class of Ties.. The patent was
granted in 1859, at which time he also received a
patent for another Cotton Tie, which likewise is
font-adjusting and seltfastening, which has val
uablo eatures.
