A RoBBER IN THE DARK.-About O'Clock
Yesterday morning, a colored woman, residing
at No. II College street, got up, as the rain
began to fall, to close in the shutters of her
room, and while doing this in the dark she
saw an object crouched up in the corner. Put
ting out her hand to see what it might be, she
touched the carcass of live negro, and ex-
claimed, "Who are you !" The darkey, con-
siderably taken aback, grunted out something
and broke for the window. A young man in
the next apartment was aroused by the noise,
rushed in, armed with huge sword, just as
light was struck and the robber had escaped
In his flight, however, he dropped bis hat
which was Identified as that Of colored man
who was seen the day before skulking around
the premises. He is well known, and the de-
'tectives are now upon h,' track.

MICA OR IsISGLAss.-We have received some
fine specimens Of the mica, Commonly, but
enormously, called isinglass,) which Is now
found in quantities near Walhalla, South Caro-
lima. 1t laminates easily, and, as 1t Is nearly
as transparent as glass, and almost indestruc-
tible by heat, It is largely used for lanterns
and stoves. Mica is another add don to the
long list of minerals found with the broad
bosom of South Carolina. 1t will, no doubt,
prove highly profitable to the lucky owners OF
mica mines.

STREET SwEEPNG.-A few days ago the at
tention of the public was called tothe sections
of city ordinance, published in The NEWS,
recurring the occupants Of dwellings and lots
to keep the same clean, and also to sweep the
sidewalk and gutter in front of the lots. This
matter has been neglected by many, and ON
GERS are now going around to report such resi-
dents as have not compiled with the ordinance.
About thirteen lotrholders in King, East Bay,
Anson and Calhoun streets, were reported
yesterday to the Mayor and, almost without
exception, fined five dollars each. In several
lots the drain on the premises was In filthy
condition, and the cutters into which they
flowed still worse. These latter are the prln-
clpal sources Of disease, and should by all
means be kept clean.

THE DEATH OF MIR. THos. r. w4RNG.

We announce with deep regret the death of
Mr. Thomas B. Waring, Which took place at
six o'clock yesterday morning at his resi-
dence, at the corner of Ashley and Cannon
streets.
Mr. Warlng was born in 1919 on his fathers
plantation near Summerville, and was educa-
ted in Charleston. When about seventeen
years old he entered the counting-house of
Messrs. James Z. Ladson & Co., where he re-
NAMED for nearly two years. This training
was of great value, and to it Mr.. Waring,
with characteristic modesty, was wont to at
tribute the marked success which he met with
IN commercial life. Mr.. Wariug was then ap-
pointed assistant to his uncle, Mr.. VIM. A.
Hayne, the bookkeeper Of the Bank Of the
State of South Carolina. The intelligence and
ability of Mr.. Waring gained for him steady
promotion, and, afteS passing through the
intermediate offices, he became cashier of the
bank. This position he held until 1869, dis.
charging bis arduous and important duties with
signal ability. Upon the closing up Of the bank
with which he had 30 long been connected,
Mr.. warlng accepted the position Of cashier OF
the South Carolina Loan and Trust Company,
which Office he held up to the day Of his death.
As public officer, Mr.. Waring was particular
ly urbane and attentive, enjoying the affection
ate respect of all who were thrown in contact
with him. In private life, he was general
favorite. His equable temperament and gentle
manners enabled him to win friends and keep
them.
The palnfal disease which caused his death
had troubled him for years, and in July last he
went to Europe with the hope of improving
his condition. Upon arriving at Liverpool, 1t
was evident that his case was hopeless, and he
was advised by the most prominent physicians
10 return at once to bis home. 1t was at one
time very doubtful whether he would ever see
Charleston again; but the assiduous care of his
attending physician secured to him the sad
pleasure of dying in the bosom of his family,
in the midst OF his beloved people. All Charles
ton will hear of his decease with sincere and
keen regret.
The funeral Of Mr.. Waring will take place at
the Church Of the Holy Communion this morn
Ing, at 10 o'clock.

The WEATHER.-About two o'clock yester-
day morning gentle rain began to fall, and
continued with but few short intermissions
up to late hour last night. The rain seems
to have been very general, as 1t lasted all day
in Columbia, and the Savannah dispatches
stated last night that it had been raining In
that city for the past twenty.four hours. 1t
only served to render the streets muddy and
unpleasant, and did no damage beyond the
interrupting the planters in the midst OF their
busiest picking season.

NEWS ABOUT THE FEVER.
The Mortality.

Inc uOrtaity.
The city registrar reports the receipt OF i've
certificates of death from yellow fever In the
twenty-four hours ending at noon yesterday.
1t is now proposed, we believe, to make up
the reports to 9 o'clock at night, and to re-
ouire all deaths to be reported before s o'clock
p. NJ. ON the day of the occurrence. This
would be good move, and we hope the Board
| of Health will take it under advisement.
WEDNESDAYS REPORT.
OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH,
CHARLESTON. September 6, ls7l-l2 NJ.
Five (5) certificates Of death from yellow
fever received since last report
fSiened) ROBERT LEBBY, NJ. D.,
City Registrar.
Negro Philanthropy.
On Tuesday afternoon assistance was asked
of the Howard Association for coleredwoman
and her sick child, who had been taken with
the fever and were lying in house in Church
street. At the Office of the association there
were several colored nurses who had rendered
their services Ito be paid tor) to the assoca-
ton, and one of these was dispatched to the
house. Upon finding that the sick persons
were Of her own color, the nurse returned in
disgust, saying "she was hired to attend white
people and not niggers," and could not be in
duced to wait on the sufferers. The other COL
ored nurses made the same point. At length
one of the directors of the association was
sent down, who instructed the sick woman to
hire any nurse she knew Of, at the expense Of
the association. But we believe that one Of
the regular nurses atterward changed her
mind. We may mention, in this connection,
that the association, like true charity, knows
no distinction of race or condition.
The Head and Front OF their Onehding.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon several
cow-heads were lying In st. Philip street near
the Upper Market. Either the contractor or
the lot-holder is the guilty party; but while.
this question of responsibility is under consid-
Grafton, somebody had better remove the
dead-heads for the general benefit Of the city.
The Health OF Beaufort.
We take great pleasure in publishing the
following highly satisfactory circular in rela-
tion to the health of Beaufort:
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH,
BEAUFORT, s. c., September 4, 1871.
For the information Of the public, and for
the purpose Of correcting false and exaggerat-
ed reports which have found place In the pub
lie press, respecting yellow fever in Beaufort,
would say, we have had only five cases of
yellow fever, two of which proved fatal; the
remaining three are convalescing rapidly. No
new cases have been reported for the last ten
days. With the present favorable change Of
atmosphere, and with the advantages of strict
sanitary and quarantine regulations which we
now enjoy, no fears are entertained BY our
citizens of the fever becoming epidemic.
The general health Of our city is remarkably
good, and our sanitary condition was never
better, JAS N. CRoFUT,
l---lt Chairman Board of Health.

Greasing Wagons.

But few people are aware that they do
wagons and carriages more injury by
greasing too. plentifully than any other
way. A well-made wheel will endure
common wear from ten to twenty five
years, if care is taken to use the right
kind and proper amount Of grease; but
if this matter is not attended to they
will be used up in five or six years.
Lard should never be used on a wagon ;
for it will penetrate the hub, and work
its way out round the lemons of the
wheel. Tallow is the best lubricator for
wood axletrees, and caster-oil for iron.
Just grease enough should be applied
to the spindle of wagon to give it a
light coating. This is better than
more; for the surplus put on will work
out at the ends, and be forced by the
shoulder bands and nut washers into the
hub around the outside of the boxes.
To oil an axletree, first wipe the spin
die clean with cloth wet with spirits of
turpentiue, and then apply few drops
of castor oil near the shoulder and end
One teaspoonful is sufficient for the whole
