top the first in charming confusion. Il was
a sight. But we must draw this letter to !
close, aud get out of the fearful duSt-there-
fore we leave the gay scene and retrogade to-
ward the train which is waiting to take back
to the city its last load of visitors for the 1
night.
One Of the greatest pleasures 10 an up
country visitor is the convenience afforded
by the street railway, which traverse the
principal avenues and relieves the tired, foo.
sore, pedestrian of many weary miles Of
walking. The company is still presided over
by Col. Thos. Riggs, q gentleman we'll
qualified for such an active and important
position, and we arc pleased to add also that
Captain C. Sigwald, we'll known in Ncwberry,
is yet in charge Of the entire line. To both
Of these gentlemen we are indebted for many
| substantial favors and kind amenities, which
help larely to make our stay unusually
agreeable. We are glad to add that the good
management exhibited in the conduct Of
this important interest has made the street

dividend is paid BY it.
Charleston is unusually lively just now,
and will continue so for many days, for next
week the Flora! Fair comes off, and many
people will visit the city, swell the hotels,
and leave their surplus change to I'll the
pockets Of merchants, hotel keepers, and
others, and it is vel! that these gala occasions
are conceived.
Speaking Of hotels, we are reminded to
write word or two in praise Of our Old
favorite, the Pavilion, and now under the
proprietary control of Messrs. G. T. Afford &
Co. 1t is gratifying to say that the Pavilion
| is one of the most popular hotels of the city
Mr.. Afford the manager, being one Of The
happy few who fully know what is needed
and how best to make an institution of this
kind acceptable to the travelling public.
His long experience as railroad man and
conduc,or-about fifteen years-perhaps fit
ted him for the position he now so properly
fills, or perhaps it was natural fitness, We
know not which; but suffice it, the Pa
vilon now in all its various parts and particu.
lars, is most comfort table and satisfying
house. The dining room is a model Of
elegance aad taste. in appointment, as we'll
as in the character of its food, and as u
proof of the appreciation of the labors and
abilities Of its gentlemanly manager and his
associates in the business office, it is filled to
its utmost capacity continually. The pro-
prictors have expended very large sum in
furnishing and otherwise adjoining the house,
and we learn, that this Summer, it is their
! intention to lay out several thousand dollars
more, until they shall make it second to
none. Long may It wave.
| The markets do not show an advanced
vegetable condition, the seasons having been
backward; but still it is pleasant to 60
through them and look at what is offered.
The starving people of Newberry are inform
ed that the meat market is superb; the beef,
mutton, pork and veal makes the mouth
water. But we reluctantly stop, in tender
consideration.
And now reader, if you have found the
above letter in any particular dull, please
remember that it was written before break
fast, and almost in sight and quite in sound
OF The rich and elegant feast preparing for
the early morning meal. Put yourself in our
place and answer if the delicious n. Y.
mutton chop, the juicy steak, the fresh fish,
the soft egg and other good things known to
be on hand, would not have distracted your
thoughts and caused you to slightly mix
things.

broke the thigh of his injured limb.
