Prof. John LeConte, we are autho-
rized to state, will retain his present
position in the South Carolina Uni
versity until June, 1869.
Die Modenwek-an illustrated
magazine for fashions and fancy
work-for December-has just been
received. 1t contains innumerable
cut and plate patterns and fashion
plates-plain and colored. 1t is
perfect treasure to the ladies. S. J.
Taylor, 391 Canal Street, New York,
is the publisher.
AS already announced, q fair for
the benefit of the nuns of the Ursu-
line Convent, of this city, will be
held on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, December l and g. It is
deserving object, and it is hoped
that a considerable sum will be real
lied. The managers request us to
say that there will be no rafting in
the hall-that "Take chance, SIR"
will be emphatically tabooed; and
that gentlemen will be returned the
full amount of change when pur-
chases are made. All the delicacies
of the season will be supplied at the
supper.
The publishers of the "Riyerside
1fagosineJ Jor Yonng People,, has just
issued pretty and artistically exc
cuted chrome picture, entitled 1.-The
Quack Doctor" copies of which they
furnish to new subscribers at 50. so.
1t represents the visit of q Rouen
drake to n sick Brahma rooster, whose
wife and little children seem very
anxious for the doctors opinion. The
doctor, with spectacles on nose and
chin resting on his cane, looks saga
ciously at the invalid, who, with bill
ious complexion and closed eyes,
seems entirely oblivious to all the af-
fairs of this world. They are all
painted from life: the chicken, a
highly valued Brahma cock, went the
way of all chicken flesh few days
after.
