guilty Of tho murder OF Mr.. BRANDFoRp ut tho
January session of tho Civil Court His counsel

demncd to bo hung on tho 14th of Juno. There
Was littio doubt Of tho guilt OF Jenkins, and wo
trust that thero will DO no mistaken clcmoncy dis
played in mis- case.
HohIcDE.-A difficulty having occurred some
days ago on Johns Island, ut Jenkins plantation,
betweon two colored mon nam ed Soipio Frusor and
John Groom, tho lnttcr attacked tho former with q
largo knife and stabbed him in tho Bide, tho knifo

md on approaching him ho mado demonstration
with his hoe, which Mr.. MICHEL soon settled by
exhibiting revolver, and ho afterwards was
brought along INCREASINGLY. Groom WAS formerly
attached to the Twonty-third Regiment Massachu-
Hotts Volunteers.
WHEAT WHEAT!-Wo refer our readers to an
advertisement from Messrs. SEEsHousE Co.. No.
ITO East Bay, in which thoy apply for 10000
bushels Of wheat-red and white. Since the war
tho South hns taken far moro interest in cereals
than ever before, and NO aro pleased to see that
efforts boing mado by tho Charleston mcr-
chants to secure tho sale and transportation of
these articles. Tho planters throughout tho State
anticipate largo yields from their wheat crops and
they could do no better than to consign them to
Charleston. AS tho metropolis OF tho Stato this
city is fully prepared to transact nl buainoBs with
tho interior, and her merchants have long been
known for their probty and fair dealing. liessrs.
SrENHousE Co. offer the highest market priccs
for this wheat md both shippers and planters will
find it to their advantage to send them consgn-
ments.
CURIOUS OBITUARY NoTICEs.-The friends OF tho
departed arc too ant in referring to them to laud
their virtues and make their characters somewhat
better than wns roally the case. This Ia 30 we'll
known that tombstone opitaphs and obituary
notices are generally read Gun, g, ano sails, tho
public being awnro that charity covers multitude
OF sins. In aome SECTIONS Of the country the in
land districts have not yet become enlightened on
some subjects, and tho people stil preserve their
primitive habits. This is particularly noticeable
in their funeral notices. for, like stern Puritans,
they speak the truth and nothing else. An instance
OF this appeared In obituary lat ely published by
IN exchange. With the samo strict regard for
veracity, the friends Of tho deceased represented
him as dying "insolvont and happy" AS thoflfst

In tho same connection wo would state that q
jovial friend has recently read his own obituary
but notwithstanding tho complimentary remarks
paid him, he insists that 1t iH mistake, and dc.
cIines passing sin his ohipsn at present. Few per.
sons have tho happy privilege Of knowing villa,
their friends think OF them when dcad and gouo

OUn WATERING PLACEs.-The visitor TO Broad
htrcot will at once perceive that he hns loft tho
sandy waste, and is in woll-watered region. A
number Of the artcsian pumps have been con.
struc.ed along this street, whlo olhors have boon
formed by running pipes into the fire wells in that
vicinity. The result of theso explorations in tho
bosom Of the earth has boen rush Of many
waters and the dust is now efrectualy mid by tho
numerous streams that are played upon it at ali
hours OF the day. u .t
Broad street seems to bo tho favored locality for
these aquatic sports, and tho number OF these
water spouts is continually increasing. Tho ,mer-
chants along this thoroughfare havo dubbed TO-
gether, and own the pumps in common, By this
arrangement tho public good is consulted, and
the entire atreet receives the, sprinkling. On
Tuesday night grand movement was made which
has eclipsed any previously attempted. A;:pipo
was placed in tho FIRE we'll near the cornor Of
Church and Broad streots, and another laid across
Broad, with outlets OF each corner, forcc pump
in tho Library yard, worked by stalwart Ethopians,
furnishes the necessary water power, and by at-
taching the hose TO tho different pipes both Broad
and Church streets can be aprinkled for a consid.
cradle distance.
As it is Ia vain dream to expect that water will
ever be introduced into the city, we hail these in
novntions with delight, and commend tho action
Of the Broad street merchants, who have taken
the matter in their own hands, md have achieved
success that will cause their names to be grato-
fully remembered by the dusty public. It requires
but small outlay to place these pipes in position
and the good results to be soen from their use IL
Broad street should encourage tho residents il
