MISUNDERSTANDING seen several schemes
of a Lottery proposed to be drawn in
Charleston South Carolina, and headed
$3.50, 900 of real and personal property,
&C., to be distributed, 1, though it
might be interesting to those who may
wish to invest to understand the
chances.
There are numbers from TO IS inclu-
sive, from which there are drawn II
numbers at random. This makes the
scheme to consist of 76,076 tickets, each
ticket having three numbers on it, and
differing from each other by at least
one numbsr, now these tickets would
cost at s. each, $3.50, 3S0-again there
can be but 22O tickets having the three
drawn numbers on each--according to
the scheme, the first 80 number of these
30 numbers will draw S193,50O and the
remaining 1870 at $50 each, make $500,
giving total of 100000, instead of ESQ.,
900.
Now fyou should buy every ticket
in the lottery you would pay $3.50, $3.50
and get back 100000 of property greatly

The Fire Fiend Squelched.

Last Wednesday night, at ten minutes
after ten o'clock, the alarm of fire was
given. The engines were promptly out,
and in few minutes the fire was dis
covered to bein the cellar OLD. c. HELMS
Drug Store, east side of the Public
Square. At first, dense volumes of
smoke were the only evidences of the
fire that could be seen. The smoke
proceeded from the cellar, and soon the
sturdy firemen broke open the door,
and attempted to enter, but soon came
back, suffocated with smoke. Not a
spark of fire could be seen, and the
large crowd of people began to think it
was "all smoke and 10 fire." But JOHN
T. TUCKER, next door, opened his door
about this time, aud several persons
were enabled to go TO the rear of HELMS
Drug Store. Looking through the Gel
lar CRATE, they beheld barrel and bale
of hay in full blaze. The hay had pro-
duced the smoke, and was doubtless the
first thing that caught fire. The gallant
firemen were informed of the condition
of things, and in a few moments the
hose was brought around, and at first
failed to be quite long enough to reach
the crate, ard the door was broken
down. The fire in the cellar grew
brighter and brighter, and threatened
to envelope the entire building. The
gallant boys of No. Q, and their brave
commander, made another exertion, the
cellar was reached, and the entire block
of buildings were saved. The fire was
soon put out, but there was so much
smoke and excitement, that a great
deal of unnecessary water was thrown.
Mr.. HELMS loss is mainly in damaged
