TIE LORDS OF CREATION could pass few
hours very pleasantly in examining the tailor
ing stock Of Mr. John Rugheimer, at No. 141
King-street, near Queen. MIR. Rughcimer has
recently returned from business visit North,
and has secured every fabric that can please
the eye or make the wearer 'tnew man." His
store has been fitted up with great taste, but
the external adornings are completely eclipsed
by the stock displayed on the counter. The
store has been recently fitted up for MIR. Rug
heimer, and the shelving, window shades, &C.,
are perfectly new-the latter were furnished
by Nr. Nordall, and painted in a pleasing man
ner. There are few stores on King-street that
present more attractive appearance than Mr..
Rugheimers, and all who need good outfit
should pay him visit.

inaugurated yesterday. Several wagons were
upon the main walk empytying their loads of
oyster shells, which will soon be scattered

A New BROOM SWEEPS CLEAN.-Since the
new Mayor came into Office the court room has
been crowded every morning with promiscu-
GUS assembly ofwhites and blacks, while the
corners of Meeting and Broad streets have
been similarly occupied. An order was issued
in court a few days since that an examination
ofthese idlers would be held, and those who
could give no good account of themselves
would be treated as vagrants. This fulmina-
tion from the powers that be had the effect Of
thinning the audience that daily attend this
court, and the popular street corners We're
proportionately deserted. Yesterday, however,
q number of persons collected in the court
room to witness the proceedings, but were
thunderstruck, when leaving, to find sentinel
4 at the door, who prevented their exit. They
were called up separately and questioned by the
May or as to their business, means of livihood,
and why they had attended the court. About
a dozen could not give satisfactory answers
and we're sent to the workhouse for periods va
rying from one to three days. They were ex-
tremely disconnected, and those who could
raise the money paid their way out immediate
nuisance for some time, and the action of the
Mayor is warmly commended.

HAIL! ALL HAM!-The clouds that lowered
oer our city last night were occasionally illum-
ined by brilliant flashes of lightning which
only served to make the darkness visible, while
the distant muttering of thunder portended
coming storm. About half-past 9 P. NJ. the
expectations of the weather-wise were realized,
and the citizens were treated to a genuine au-
thenticated old fashioned bail storm. The
first hail stones that fell were about the size Of
8 pigeons egg, but they soon dwindled in size
until the storm terminated in heavy rain. 1t
is somewha. unusual to have hail storm st
this season, though our venerable friend Miller
has stated in his almanac that March would
close ''stormy and disagreeable."

MAYORS CoURT.-Friday was certainly an
unlucky day for the city treasury as few de-
linquents were arraigned, and the fines i'm
posed were quite small.
Two colored men, who were charged with
disorderly conduct and trespassing on the
premises of certain citizens, were each charged
$40, or given the option Of spending ten days
in the workhouse.
One individual, who had partaken Of the
goodnight cup, thought that he would make
his bed in the streets, but his slumbers were
rudely interrupted by the police, and he was
charged SIS for trespassing on city property.
A stranger, who endeavored to puff his cigar
on Union wharf, was arrested and charged S.
for his fumigation.
A stray cow was picked up in the Upper
Wards and lodged in the guardhouse. Two
colored men appeared to claim their beast, but
were informed that the ransom had been placed
at S., aud If that was not forthcoming they
would drink no milk in their coffee that night.
A colored man, who had falsely charged Mr.
Eberhardt with selling liquor without
license, Was convicted of perjury and turned
over to magistrate for prosecution.

IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS. The CAPITA
r1oN TAX MUST BE PAD.-We have before
alluded to the urgent necessity that existed
for at once paying the capi!ation tax. Without
the receipt showing it's payment, the voter may
be disqualified and disabled from depositing
his ballot. The Mayor has ordered all capita
ton tax returns not paid on or before the 31st
of March to be reported to him, and double
tax executions and summary process will GER
tainly follow.
Owners of real estate are also reminded that
the tax on one-third of the assessed value Of
all real estate must be paid before the 1st
April.

A HORRIBLE MURDER was committed last
week in Edge6eld District, Of which we get
the following account from the Adver-
tiser: On the night of Wednesday, the 18th
instant, Mrs. Elkins, q married lady living
in the Dark Corner section Of our District,
was most barbarousy murdered. Mrs. Elk
ins was still young woman, the mother
Of three small children, the youngest an
infant of five months. We are informed
that Mr.. VIM. Elkins, the husband and father,
who is a manned Confederate soldier, was ab-
sent from home, at the time this murder was
committed, on visit to an uncle living in the
neighborhood. And that when he returned to
his home, at 10 o'clock light, the unfortu-
nate man found the deao oody Of his wife lying
in the yard, the face and head most horribly
crushed and shattered as if by blows from an
axe or heavy iron shovel. And that in the abb
sence Of her husband, no one remained with
Mrs. Elkins save her children and the nurse
of her infant, the latter young colored girl.
The whole affair, however, is as as yet involved
in much mystery. The citizens Of The neighbor-
hood are on the alert to unravel the mystery
and bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to
justice. On Saturday last, seven negroes, six
men and one woman, the nurse above men,
toned, If we mistake not, were brought from
Dark Corner and lodged in the jail Of this
town. The gentlemen who brought these
negroes are Messrs. ]. S. Cartledge, 8. c.
Cartledge, ". R. Parks, A. G. Parks, N. N.
Cartledge, and ]. P. Sharpton.
