FLORENCE, July 8:
About one O'Clock this mornigg fire was dis.5
covered on the outside of the store Of Mr..
James Allen, one of the leading merchants Of
this section of country. The alarm was given
and efforts made to arrest 1t, but in vain.
Soon the building was enveloped In flames.
Nothing Of Its contents was saved, except the
iron safe, which was rescued at the peril Of
life, by Mr.. Allen and 0umbeS OF colored
men, who generously went to his aid. M.
Lloyd, an aged and respected citizen, living
on the second floor, barely escaped the flames
himself, but lost all his household effects.
The store adjoining on one side, occupied.
by Mr.. G. Frank, more generally known; as
Jerome P. Chase's, but now owned by Graeser,
Lee. Smith & Co., large and handsome
building, was soon discovered In flames. The
upper story was used as q Masonic Hall. Mr..
Frank rescued some of his effects, but lest the
larger part. The Masons lost nearly all their
hall furniture and regalia. ..5..s..,,,..,
The store of Mr.. Jules Kahn, on the other
side, belonging to Major ]. b. Pawley, also

of Florence, three large two-story buildings
were in flames at one time. Mr.. Kahn saved
portioif of bis household furniture, but bis en-
lire stock OF merchandise was destroyed.
Each store, as do nearly all country ana
inland.town stores, contained Kerosene oil
and powder. Those Of Messrs. Kahn and Frank
contained liquors. The explosions OF these
combuslibles kept many at q very respectful
distance from the bnrning buildings. There
Is fire engine in Florence, but its hose were
out OF order and II was not available. Surely
this will be lesson to the merchants In re-
gard to keeping such arLicles as powder and
Kerosene oil in their stores, and to the citizens

learn that all losses were nearly covered
by insurance, except Mr.. Franks, which wsa
only partial; Major Pawley's building, which
was uninsured, aud the furniture OF the Ma
sons, worth about one thousand dollars, unin-
sured. The total loss was about $4,000. The
stocks of Mrs. F. Buchheit, L. Cohen d Co.,
and the furniture of Mr.. @. Philips and Major
]. a. Pawley, in the building near the IRE,
were damaged by being moved out on the rail-.
road as precautionary measure.
Only last saturday night the store OF MT.
James P. Chase was rescued from the flames.
Our town seems unlucky. The cause OF the
fire last night Is supposed to be from an In
cendlary; that of Mr.. Chase accidental.
Trade Is dull. The cotton crop is quite pro-

rain. PRESsLEY.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

A regular meeting of the board was held
yesterday, at IL NJ, at the Office of the city
registrar, in the City Hall, Mayor Wagner
presiding.
After hearing favorable reports from several
districts, DR.. Pelzer. of the committee on hos
pitfalls and dIspeDsarles, reported that they had
considered the communication of DR.. j. 8.
Bulst, and after conference with the trustees
of the Roper Hospital they recommended that
certain improvements and alterations be made
to the old Workhouse, or House OF Correction,
according to the plans and specifications
furnished by the city engineer, 80 as TO fit 1t
up as permanent hospital establishment, 10
connection with the present building used for
that purpose, for the Accommodate b Of the
imbeces and lunatlcs OF the city. They also
hoped that Immediate action would be taken,
80 that the sick and insane sufferers might be
promptly provided for. In connection With,
and as part of this report, were read the valu-
able suggestions Of DR.. Ell Geddings, made In
bis remarks on the subject at the last meeting,
and In conformity to which the recommends
tlons of the committee were made. The re
port was adopted, and delivered 10 the secre-
tary to be put In proper shape to be brought
before Council.
The committee on the bill Of DR.. N. b. Col
Inns for forty-four casks of lime furnished the
city in the fall OF reported that they had e1-
amined the papers and found the account itself
charged against the street department, while
the certificates and other papers showed the
lime was purchased contrary to the advice of
DR.. Robert Leoby, then city registrar, and
that on behalf of the Board of Health he
refused to approve the account. SFurther, that
the certificates of Mr.. Gilbert Pillsbury, then
Mayor, showed that the account was made out
on bis authority and against the city. The
committee recommended that the Board of
Health decline to approve of the payment of
the account as 1t stood, without any prejudice
to the claimants demand.
The report was adopted, and there being no
further business the board adjourned.

REAL EDUCATION. "s
Mr.. Punch Is of opinion that polite and

He therefore recommends that whenever an

PINEHcusB, Edgeaeld County, June 20.
In the present letter l shall canvass the
chances of the several senatorial candidates in
Edgefeld. First, We have David Harris, as
black as the ace of spades, and too willing
tool OF the Scott ring. His chances for receiv-
Ing the nomination are decidedly slim. Next
comes ElcheIberger, of Winchester rifle motto.
riety, also o tool Of SCOTS, aud at present
county treasurer of Edgefeld. If he gels into
the Senate 1t will be through dint Of hard
work and free Use OF the peoples
money. DR.. John A. Barker Is also
Republican candidate, and l rather think
that he will receive the undivided support OF
the Democratic party. OF course, the ''passve"
policy is In high favor In this county. am
informed that John Woolley has withdrawn
from the field, from some cause unknown to
your correspondent, and Is no longer candl-
date Tor the Senate. Arnim and Rivers are
still fighting at Hamburg-each striving to
injure the other and brighten his own chances
tor the senatorial nomination. At Aiken,
Sparnick, of The Tribune, Is in the field for the
Judge of probaie's place; but Jones and Bray
ton, seeing that the natives" had the
inside track on them, have picked up
their carpe-bags and left for colder parts.
R. Kirk, originally OF Barnwell, and Radi-
cal candidate for Congress In the Filth
Congressional District of Georgia In 1870, is at
present stopping 10 this. county. Whether he
will sustain the Liberals" or lend his influ.
enoe In support of the Radicals Is not known.
He Is erraLic In some respects, but Is regarded
here as the ablest Republican In this portion
of the State. The colored people are very con-
seryative in their views. aud express them
selves as being tired of being dnped by such
characters as Prince Rivers. Prince Is very
arsGocratic In his demeanor, and refuses to
allow hls colored "bredren" to Call upon him
only ''0n business and In hours OF business"
Hon. Joseph D. Allen Ia candidate for sheriff
Of aiken County, and leadiug c0lored mpn say
they will support bin IN preference to the
Radical scum that Ia opposing him.. DR.. Bar
ker will be our next Senator, and l trust we
may also have a worthy set of representatives.

she may have been aetilated. There cannot be

Justin Mccarthy, London correspondent
of the New York Ecening Mail, gives us
the following, which fits on this side of the
water, as well as IN Dublin:
Here is q new definition of social rank
which may perhaps interest you Republic
cans. An action for breach of promise had
Just been tried in Dublin. The fair plain
tiff was daughter of dress maker, but
claimed to be a 6 lady," On her cross
examination she was asked why she con-
sidered herself higher in rank than young
woman employed III a bonnet shop. Do
you think yourself higher than the young
woman in Forests or Manning's for in
stance ?''-two fashionable shops. The
young lady's answer is decisive. Most
certainly ; | cannot cut out d dress
have never made my own bonnets so little
do know Of millinery, that the bonnet on
my own head was made for me-" This is
a new sort of patent of gentility, incapacity
to make a bonnet or cut out any sort of
garment. A young lady's mother makes
and sells bonnets; the young lady herself
lives on the money paid for the bonnets,
but she takes rank above her mamma by
virtue Of the proud fact that she does not
know how to make anything. | think this
decidedly better than the contest for gentil-
ity between the IIiggs family and
the Diggs family, recorded by Thack-
cray, in which the scale is finally
turned by the grandeur Of trip in the
steamer to Margate, and the ostentatious
purchase of pint OF shrimps.
