COMET CoM1Na.-A comet, superior in
size and lustre to Encke's, is nightly ex-
pected. Celestial curiosity seekers are pro-
missed this novelty between this date and
June. The Wilmington Journal declares it
is the return of Wineck's comet, which has
been whisking it's tail through space for
ever so many hundred years. The advent
of the phenomenon will afford much plea
sure to all taking the trouble to look
heavenward at the time of its appearance
STILL FURTHER IMPROvEMENTs-A NEW
BANKING House Messrs Scott, Williams
Co., finding their present location too
contracted, have bought two lots on Main
street, adjoining the Court House, and con-
tracted with Mr.. G. W. Davis for building
neat and commodious banking house, in
Guiding large and secure vault, with all
the conveniences for an extensive business
in their line as bankers and brokers-em-
bracing everything done by bank, except
the issue of bills. Messrs. Geo. w. Will
liams & Co., the we'll known bankers, gro
GERS and capitalists of Charleston. are mem
bers of the firm, the acting partners in Co.
lumbia being Edwin J. Scott, Esq, and his
son, Mr.. Henry E. Scott, lifelong citizens
OF Columbia, and thorough business men.
The former was an officer high in position
for years in the old Commercial Bank;
while the latter was also connected with
that institution for sufficient length of
time to become thoroughly au fat in all
things pertaining to banking. We chroni-
Gle this evidence of Improvement with the
greatest pleasure, not only as an addition to
the attractions Of our capital city; but as the
very best evidence of the belief Of her own
people in our future prosperity The par
ties connected with the institution have the
means, the capacity and the inclination, we
believe, to facilitate the business and prot
mote the general interest of their custom-9
