REYNOLDS New PIoroR1A1 READRns-
We are indebted to Messrs Dufie & Chap
man for two most excellent readers-Nos. l
and 2, prepared by Professor J. l.. Rev
nolds, of the South Carolina Uniyersitv.
The illustrations are beautiful, while the
descriptions are peculiarly applicable. The
reverend Professor is peculiarly happy in
these works, and we are confident that they
| will be generally adopted as school and
family readers. The attention of parents
and teachers is particularly invited to the
many advantages and attractions presented.
Address orders to Messrs. Duf1ie & Chap

Court OF COMMON PLEAS AND GENERAL.
SEss1oNs-February 22.-The Court met at
10 o'clock, when the case of Thomas Rich.
ardson and VIM. II. w. Gray, for murder,
was resumed and occupied the attention of
the Court until half-past o'clock P. Nj. in
the charge, by his Honor the Judge, when
the case was given to the jury.
Upon motion of Major John Preston Jr..
counsel for Bill Bowers, charged with lar
ceny, the prosecutor having failed to appear,
he was discharged upon his own recog-
nizance.
In the case of Thomas Green, for larceny.
the jury returned verdict of guilty. Mr..
H. w. Rice for the defence; Solicitor Tai
ley for the State.
James Robinson and his champion circus
appear to have rendered general satisfaction
to the press and the people, throughout the
South. We have already quoted several
fiatterlng paragraphs in regard to the
champion" and his institution, believing
that they were as we'll deserved as they were
cleverly bestowed. The readers of the Phn-
mic are aware that the company will exhibit
here on Thursday, the 25th instant. This
is the genuine Jimmy Robinson, who made
his debut in Charleston in 1S49, and who for
years was such favorite throughout the
South; and who has often been, (since the
war; advertised to appear here by parties
who had no authority for using his name.
He is coming now in the full vigor of man
hood, with world wide reputation, associ-
ated with an excellent exhibition.

A RAINY SEASONS has cogi-
tated the following lines on the present
"wet SPELL"
Nothing but rain, dreary, ceaseless rain.
Beating ever against the window pane;
Filling the puddle holes full in the street,
Which little children with naked feet
Are splashng into again and again.
Nothing but rain in the thropged town,
Where people are hurrying up and down;
AS sit and watch the crowds pass by,
! see them glance at the leaden sky,
That only returneth an angry frown.
The rain still falls over meadow and hill,
Nothing but rain till the air is chill;
And the dark broad river is full and deep,
And the leaiess trees they weep and weep,
That grow by the side of the old stone mill.
It wearies me beating the window pane.
l. would the summer were here again;
/ long for the snnshine warm and bright,
The pure sweet flowers and Gods blessed
light,
Instead of this raining, this ceaseless rain.
