EASTER ELECTIONS .-On Easter Monday, accord
ing to a long established rule in the Episcopalian
Church. the annual elections win be held for War
dens, 4Vestrymen, &c.; Among the different
Churches that hold these elactions none are, per-
haps, more worthy of note than the Old Goose
Creek Church This was built shortly atSs7 the
settlement of this State by the English, and has
been used as place Of worship ever since. Before
the Revolution that section of the country was
consideted healthy, and what are now simply win
ter residences were then occupied during the ma
larious heats OF summer. AT that time, the
Church was in fourishing condition, and: the in-
.spection Of the tombstonos will prove that the
congregation was composed Of the Oldest and
wealthiest families III the State. " t4
During the, revolutionary war, when the British
sodiery desolated the. whole lower country, this
Church was saved from destruction on account Of
the English Court Of Arms which were placed over
the pulpit The congregation '.of this Church
though much smaller than in the past, still num-
bara many:o the old names, and the interest il
the Church is stil kept alive 0n Easter Monday,
they will, in common with other Episcopalian
aahurclses, hold their 6, annual q elections.

s .PtsoAroRx.-The markets have been fully sup
pied with tie various hsh: common to; these
waters, besides ;znany and have
been Sbrought from the coasts aofs Georgin and
Florida The piscatorai dealers have been in their
glory; and brisk trade was driven at their end Of
the market. Nearly every stall is supplied, and
the purchaser can make a selection from whiting,
porgy any of the numerous branches Of the fish
family who visit our waters during: the spfing
months Besides these varieties, choice. steaks
can be obtained from the drum. and occasionally
from chance visitor from Florida known IS the
snapper. The fish market does not owe its popu-
larty solely to the fish merchants; TINT irrepressi-
BE class Of tho community, the old mau1nas, come
in for their share Of the public patronage, and
offer tempting piles Of oysters; CLAIMS and stone
crabs. These :deicacies are IN great demand, and
the price being lower than beef, many persons ig-
more that market and purchase their daily sup
plies nearer the water The itinerant fish venders
:arealso doing large business, and their sonorous
voices can be heard even! above the rattling of
'drays they appeal to the public to come and
purchase. While t, ese supplies there Is little
danger Of starving 8 the n materia for good meal
is wishin the reach Of al, !, and can be obtained
almost for a mere song-ce-..saill for small m
yestnent Of greenbacks. 5;,ss
