Prof Agassiz is quoted as authority
for tho startling calculation that in less
than nineteen centuries from tho present
date, Lake Erie will be quite emptied Of
water. In view of this prediction, it is
reported that the hackmen and guides at
Niagara Falls have resolved upon q still
further increase of their charges. in
order that they may lay by something
from their earnings before their business
is brought to an end.
A few days ago vivaoious and hand.
some young lady, Miss Moss, whose
father is reported to have high posi-
ton under the English Government,
reached Knoxville, Tennessee, having
como all the way from England to wed
her aaianced lover, who preceded her
several months. and is q resident Of the
above place. In this instance the
rolling stone did not foil to gather the
proper Moss.
A young gentleman, says the Raleigh
Ne,cs, was paying an evening call re-
Gently, when the subject OF Ole Bulls
concert was broached. With "naive"
modosty he inquired, "AIiss --. are
you going to hear Ole Or?"

~ tHe EdttOF or me fH0EHlT. SIR:
The country newspapers have at differ
ent times expatiated on the grievances
OF the country merchants in various
places Of this State-said merchants who
deal in liquors. wines, syrups aud other
liquids, which are shipped to them by
certain Charleston merchants, without
having been previously rcgauged by
sworn gaugers OF that place; SO that the
deficiency i'll the gu nifty caused by
leaking, tapping, or any other cause,
that hnve taken place between Charles
ton and the places where they have been
imported Irom, is the loss OF the country
merchants, since they have to pay for tho
quantity ascertained by the original
ganging.
Toward the end of last September,
the Charleston Duly Netcs, when nu-
swering on the matter to country CORES.
pondents. said that liquids aoere usually
sold in Charleston according to the New
York ganging; that there was no city
ordinance compelling the regauging Of
liquors \ Charleston; but that tue coun-
try merchants or buyers had the right in
all cases to demand the regauging of the
liquors, and the merchants selling nre
bound to comply, eto.
Now, the same paper. (the Ne,rs. in
its issue of the 9th Of last month, when
reporting the proceedings of the last
session of the City Council of Charles
ton, states that resolution has been in.
troducea. aud adopted, by sChich tAe Mayor
| is authorized to license as many candidates
| for gdugerS nnd n0pdl store inspectors as
may be recommended by dealers, ETC." Is
that the redress we country dealers in
| liquors, etc., can obtain from tho City
Conncil OF Charleston? Evidently snoh
a resolution has for object and effect the
only interests and accommodation Of
Charleston merchants, and will certainly
help certain merchants in entirely escap-
ing the regular guuging by competent
gaugors, (sworn.) Of course we do not
speak of n certain class of merchants,
who would never resort to anything Of
the kin,l. But we may say positively
that when being lutely in Charleeton,
and buying liquors, they we're gauged in
our presence by some clerks or persons
attached to the establishment, and that
their gauges proved to be moro than i'll
correct, to our detriment, when, for our
own satisfaction, we had them regauged
afterwards by sworn gaugers of the
place.
Is it not surprising that in CONNER.
cial centro, as Charleston is. the Com
mon Council, said to be composed of
rsformers, do not see that. unless a
remedy is brought to impositions of that
kind, the country dealers in liquors will
dispense as much as possible to trade
in place where their interests are not
protected, as in any other commercial
city, where all liquids, sold by barrel,
must be regauged before being shipped,
and this under heavy penalty.
Hoping you will give room in you CO.
nmns to our protest and complaints, we
remain your most obedient servants.
:. MANY MERCHANTS.

The Monmouth Reiveio, in publishing this
action of the druggists, says:
This action OF the druggists will "cut

LOOK OUT FOR THE DITCHEs.-Since the
work Of digging the trenches has been 60

dents from people and teams getting into

serious has resulted, rs yet. Last night, a

with lady, undertook to pass between the

of the trench as a warning to passers. TIE
horse jumped the ditch and carried the bug.

was incorrect. From DR.. Plummer it is
learned that Al 10 o'clock this forenoon
Saturday the 10Th he was alive and com
parAtively free from pain, but that there was
not one chance in a thousand for him to
live. The DR.. thinks he may live two or
three days more-there is a possibility, OF
course, Of his recovery-but no probability.
DR.. Plummer is doing all that can be done
to save him.
All the persons injured will have Just
claims for damages, and they ought to be

but as an incentive to people who are build
