advertising columns, will show number of insii-
tuttons OF learning in this city, that will resume

IN possessing SO largo number Of schoos and
serninsries where tho youthful idea is trained by
minds stored with overy useful knowledge Among
the schools that will reopen on the lst proxiun ia
that conducted By Mrs. JouN A. BLUM, i'll Mary
street opposite Elizabeth. The situation is pleas
ant, and the advantages offered the pupil are fully
equal to those Of similar establishments. Mrs.
BLUM Is IN experienced toRcher and is assisted by
competent corps Of Instructors.
BASE BALITNa.-Ths rago for base hall has at
length seizeu upon the African mind, and the
young ebons have il now heavy OH the brain. In
the unfreGuented streots small clubs OF juvenile
tarktes assemble, and, with eriemporized bats.
formed from ahinglcs and peccs Of boards. they
bang the ball about with an utter disregard to its
lncomlngs and outgoings. a few days since we
were laisurely pursuing the even tenor OF our way
when NE were surprised at the appearance of a
Dali which Was skimming its way toward our left
Optic With great presence Of mind, we threw up
our arm, caught it on the fly, and warded of the
INTRUDER; but being an outsider and ignorant of
the rules OF the game, We did not change our
oase, bnt simply bawled at the players. Tor tn
safety OF those persons who wish to preserve
themselves from bodily harm, and who have no
aesire to become ballists,. we would suggest
that the police be directed to net as umpres.
and TO declare the street performances Of the iu-
Tenile Africans foul play, aubjocing the culprits
to be put In prisoners base there to remain until
the lesson is learned that the streets were never
intended as play ground Il
DIBTTEdUIaHED YIsITon.-Our friends md
neighbors, Messrs. H. H. BApRNHop l. Co., have
received recently from the far West noble speci.
men OF tho UrsA Major. He is evidently ono OF
the aborgines, but possesses the happy faculty of
making himselfAt homo under my circumstances,
aud is now thoroughly domolled with Messrs
BADESHoP Co. A pole has bcen erected In their
yard, upon which Bruin exercises his gymnaatic |
powers and shows by the closeness of his hug
That strength e1ists in his embrace Fortunately
he Is civilized animal and has received tho bone
TT ola thorough education and is mol disposed |
to carry his poitoness to- such extremes as
hGgsing his visitors. Ills trip from his
native soil has not affected his health; for though
only sixteen month"; old he is large and we'll de-
developed, and in a wild state would prove an |
ugly customer. He rejocss in the name Of Cuffss,
probably on account OF his black hide and, like
many two-footed Cufees, likes to tako q drop or
two. When this rare privilege s accorded him he
viii seat himself With great gravity on his hind |
legs, and, taking the bottle between his fors-psws
empty the contents down his throat. Cuffee is,
perhaps, tho largest specimen OF tho black boar
that has ever beon exhibited in Charleston and is
far more tractable and docile than thoao seen In
travelling mensgeries. He is we'll worth visit,
and No advise those who sre Interested in zoology
to pay him O morning call at Messrs. H. Il. Bi-
pRNsop Co.'s, No. 1S3 Meeting street.
