THE FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT.-About half-pGst
O'Clock Saturday night the bells sounded the
alarm Of fire. The engines were promptly out,
and, after long run, found the flames Issuing
from kitchen on the premises OF Mrs. Blake, at
the corner OF Columbus and Drake streets. Water
was not easily obtained, and before the fire was
extinguished Mrs. Blake's house, the house ad-
joining, occupied by Mr.. n. F. Petit small frame
house occupied by Mr.. Moseley, and the sta
BILE Of Mr.. H. F. Strohecker, were consumed. We
could not learn whether any OF the property
destroyed was insured. The loss, including the
damage done to the fences, outbuildings, &C.,
will not, 1t Is thought, exceed $4,000. The build
ings destroyed were of wood. ~.
The houses Of Messrs. Strohecker and Cochran
were slightly damaged. There was great search
ty OF water. Streams were played through fifteen
hundred feet OF hose. But for this scarcity of
water, little damage would have been done by
the fire. 1t is believed that the fire was acci-
dental. yrioi
We are informed by the Chief Engineer that
there was much confusion because OF the careless
ness Of she bell-ringer at the orphan House. De-
string the engines from District Three, the Chief
ordered the bell to be sounded three times, but
the bell-ringer sounded 1t twelve times, and
brought out the entire department. After this
the bell-ringer sounded the bell three times,
which led every one to believe that there was fire
In District Three, and caused many Of the fremen
TO leave the fire and come down town.

To our Friends in the Country.

The strides which THE NEWS has made III CIT
cuation, especially In the country, ninthe last
twelve months, encourage us to redouDie our
efforts to make 1t such paper as everybody wants
to read. and visitor which shah be welcomed in
every household in the State There is no good
reason. why o live Charleston newspaper, which
keeps pace with the progress and spirit OF the
day, sndis published at a price which places it
within the reach OF all should not, with proper
mail facilities, attain a circulation Of Thirty
Thousand copies; and we can promise thst no ex-
ertlcns or enterprise shall be wanting on our part
to make the regular edition Of this journal ap-
proximate to that figure.
As a peculiarly attractive inducement to the
planters OF the State to become subscribers to
TIE NEWS before the expiration Of the present
year. we have arranged with Messrs. walker,
Evans & Cogsweu, the publishers Of the "Rural
Carolinian,n to supply that new and superb agri-
cultural magazine, together with HE-NEws, TO
new subscribers, at the following very low rates:
THE DAILY NEWS and the "Rural Csrolinian,"
one year, for six dollars and fifty cents.
THE TRI-wEgKLY NEWS and the "Rural Carroll
nian, - one year, for four dollars.
Subscriptions to the two publications may be
sent either to the proprietors Of THE NEWS, or to
the proprietors OF the -.Rural Carolintan.o7 But
persons desiring to avail themselves Of this offer
must do so before the first Of January next, as
the arrangement win not be extended beyond
that period.
When these rates are contrasted with those OF
the Charleston papers before the war, when the
yearly price Of daily was ten dollars, and OF a
tri.weekly five dollars, in gold, or its equivalent,
we think we may fairly claim that TIE NEWS has
labored to some purpose in the diffusion Of intel
ligence among the people st prices suited to the
changed aspect Of the times.

SKIFF AND GAYLoRD'S MINsTRELs.-ThlS COM
pany will open in this city tonight, and remain
with us during the week. If the notices OF the
press in the different cities and towns they have
visited can be taken as an evidence OF their worth,
we can assure our readers that rich treat Is In
store for all who are fond Of such entertainments.
The following notice is taken from the Norfolk
Journal:
The first part OF the entertainment was gone
through In a highly satisfactory manner, Low
GAYLORD and Harry Talbot occupying the ENDS
and never failed to keep the house in storm OF
laughter when we were at once slenced Dy tne
heantiful singing of Signor Gustave BideauX He
rendered ballad entitled "Come sit by my side,
little darling" full OF pathos and sentiment, and
his rich baritone voice did full justice to the
song. Joe Mairs, the fascinating dancing queen,
went through his part in truly artistic manner.
Johnny Reese sang very good comic song whlcn
was loudly encored. The two conspicuous hotel
porters, introducing Harry Talbot, Joe Mairs and
G. Lang, was very funny. The Triple Clog, by
Stiles Phelps and Armstrong, was the gem OF the
evening. The opera scene from True-Bad-door
was very amusing .burlesque. Several otner
specialties were presented. The performance con-
cluded with Professor Shafer's Panethiopticonlca
These views are worth the price OF admission
alone, to say nothing Of their minstrel enter
tainment.n We would especially commend the
performance as entirely free from vulgar allu-
slOns or indecencies Of any kind. A lady can at
tend with entire impunity, which Is saying
great deal for q minstrel show.

tempt to make a private arrangement with one
road when three others-Richmond, Danvllle and
Piedmont. Wilmington and Weldon, and the At
lantic and North Carolina Ralroads--were equal
ly interested, and if this great work is to be rent
ed it would have commanded much greater
price at public auction.n
