Tm CHARLESTON COLLEGE EXAMINATION was
concluded on yesterday, and, after the annual
commencement, the students will be allowed q
couple Of weeks of rest from their arduous
studies. The Freshman, Sophomore and
junior classes were examined in all the various
departments, orally and in writing, and &C
Quilted themselves in style highly creditable.
The course OF studies embraced the classics
rhetoric, logic, astronomy, comic sections,
philology and moral philosophy, in all Of
which the students were subjected to rigid
examination. We noticed particularly the i'm
provements in the study OF the classics, made
under the excellent supervision Of DR.. L. A.
Frampton and Rev. Prof. J. W. Miles. The
logical analysis is decided improvement on
the old style of parsing, and undoubtedly
greater assistance to the correct rendition OF
the text. The Sophomore classes evinced a
thorough acquaintance with the science Of
languages, and showed a rare degree Of re-
search into the origin of the English. The
College has been financially depressed for
some time, but the City Council have deter
mined to uphold it, and we trust that the in.
stitution may enjoy long career Of usefulness
and pro rosperity.

,Tention, will have wide field for operations in
Il. some Of the rural "deestricts."
An order was received BY well known drug
;gist in this city few days since, calling,
among other articles, for ''a gal Of alker oil and
.. some sent to sent the same." It took some
time and some search among the numerous
bottles before the idea Of alcohol was suggest
ed. On examining the order, this Proved to be
the desired article, as the writer wished to OBJ
tain certain ingredients for the manufacture
OF hair grease, and the ''aIker oil" castor oil
.:and the sssent" were to be used for that pur-
.pose.

SARGENT THE ILLUs1oNIsT. -Notwithstandin
the disagreeable weather, the South Carolina
Hall was we'll filled last night, the low price Of
admission and the extra inducements offered be
ing sufficient to draw large audience. Those
e of our citizens who had seen Sargent on his last
visit, were prepared to witness good necro-
mancer, and their expectations were fully re-
allied. His tricks Of sleight of hand and
ventriloquism, were perfect and equal to those
.oi any of the magicians who have appeared IN
Charleston. In addition to the usual attrac-
,tions Of such an exhibition, MIR. Sargent had
a grand gift drawing, which took place at the
close of the entertainment. Some Of the prizes
awarded were quite valuable, and one OF them
cottage set Of furniture, was drawn by
young gentleman OF Charleston, Mr. a. Med.
Wragg. Professor Sargent will give another
of his popular entertainments tonight.

Hol FOE MAGNOLIA The return of spring
and the smell of the jassamine have induced
many persons to visit the different suburban
retreats in our vicinity. Messrs. R. Graham &
Co.. have commisserated the pedestrians who
were compelled to plod through miles of dust
before they could reach the desired haven, and
have decided to run line of omnibuses be-
tween Magnolia and the King-street terminus
of the City Railroad at stated hours. This
will be great convenience to our citizens, and
Messrs. Graham & Co. will no doubt receive
liberal patronage. For full particulars as to
time Of starting, &c., see their advertisement

PLANTING RICE By MACHINERY OF
THE RICE PLANTING MACHINES MANUFACTURED
BY MEssRs. EAsoN & Bro, OF THE DorTERER
PArENT.-It gives us pleasure to state that the
rice planting interest of this State is greatly
benefited by the introduction of labor-saving
machines, and more especially those of home
manufacture. We are shown letters from
prominent planters OF Savannah River, now u.s.
ing the Dotterer Rice Planter, speaking in
terms of the highest praise and recommends
ton. Letters from Pee Dee planters state that
these machines give great satisfaction,
trenching and hoeing the rice well, and are by
far superior to any other machine. Quite a
large number have been sold, and certificates
of the most fattering kind have been sent to
the manufacturers by planters using them. 1t
only goes to prove that machinery can be work
ed in the rice culture and the planter be there
by rendered somewhat independent Of negro
labor. 1t is great saving to the planter, as
each machine saves seventeen hands, and gives
o more certain turn out of the crop. One COM
mon-sized mule works it, making four
trenches and sewing seed in the same opera
tion. The driver rides on the machine. The
Dotterer Planter is very light and strong, and
is said by competent judges to bo the best
machine ever introduced, and goes far ahead
of anv Northern manufacture. AdYt.

OLD BoRHAs was on a high old rampage yes
,terday, and succeeded in throwing dust in the
eyes Of all whose business called them In the
streets. Some futile attempts were made to
water Broad-street, but the experiment proved
TO be failure and was soon abandoned The
March winds had full possession of the streets,
and as if aware of their approaching end, tried
to create as much excitement as possible.
-. Crinoline was at discount, and even the
sterner sex were forced to bend before the
blast and fly to the cars for refuge. By night
the force of the wind increased, and the dole
full creakipg and slamming Of the shutters and
the sudden gusts that shook the houses beto-
kened a storm somewhere in the direction of
the "Big Nor'ard." East winds are generally
,disagreeablo, but the breeze of last night was
one of the strongest zephyrs of the season.

THE CRY TREAsURY.-A few months since
the general cry was ''no money" and the city
exchequer contained nothing but city scrip,
which was then selling at considerably below
par. change has come over the spirit OF our
dreams, city money is near par, and the song
of the greenback is heard again in the land.
The taxpayers have been raising the wind
end laying down the dust, and, for the past
few days, the treasurer's Office has been be-
siged by crowd of eager debtors. The day
of grace closes on the 31st, and the rush has
lately been SO great that the principle of first
come first served" has been adopted, the last
arrivals being compelled to wait their turn
patiently. According to the municipal laws
a capitation tax is now levied on every male
citizen, and the receipt will have to be pro-
duced at the polls, or the voter will be debar-
red the right of depositing his ticket. This
fact is generally known, and yesterday the
City Treasurer's Office was largely attended,
and greenbacks were abundant, and the own
ers were anxious to redeem their credit by
making the necessary returns.
Of course, it is well to make hay while the
sun shines, but, as the city taxes are now pay
able three times year, the money received
now must be made to hold out for at least
three months to come.
