The CURIOUS CRAFT,-The curiously con-
structed schooner "Ada b. from st. John, N.
B., which has been noticed in these columns,
arrived in this harbor yesterday. She anchored
in the stream and was soon boarded by num-
Der of reporters. While she is a curiosity she
is not unlike many of tue schooners which ar
rive here from st. John. She was evidently
fashioned after st. John schooner but the
builder had but few tools, and consequently
his vessel shows many marks of crudeness
The Ada B. is schooner of about so tons,
has nearly square stern with no overhang
and steers in the usual way, with tiller Her
Sails and rigging are the same as any coaster.
The house is on the deck and is much the same
as any, A wide pair of stairs takes you be-
tween decks, where can be seen the inside
plankng of the craft. Nearly every timber
and plank of the schooner is fastened with
wooden pins. The builder, Mr.. Draper, may
have put in several inventions of his own, but
our reporter failed to find anything out of the
usual course, either in her build or outfit. She
will remain here several days and then proceed
to the Centennial

law. No name should be put IN the
jury box, unless one of the Commits,
sioners know he has the qualifica-
tions prescribed by law. and is liable
TO serve. j.
His Honor furthor stated that no
man should bo Trial Justice, who
takes and holds the Office for tho pur-
pose of making money out of it. The
law has now mado it the duty OF the
Judge TO examine and pass upon these
accounts, and in doing this it is raro
that ho does not find it necessary to
scale thom largely. You should ex~
amino whether any of your Trial JUS
ticcs have wilfully violated tho homo-
stoad law in ordering the crops of
citizens levied and sold for debt. Elk,
amino specially, whether the Trial
Justices at Easley has not dono this
for a store account. The crop of tho
citizen is exempt, except for advances
under tho lion law, and if you find be
has done this, you will present him
for indictment.
Tho duties Of County Commissioners
are so extensive, that you could not
remember thom ifI should specially
direct your attention TO them. You
| should, however, examine their office
carefully, and SEQ that they arc per-
forming their duties according to law.
The law now requires special levies
for roads, courts, &C., and this should
be enforced. His Honor in conclud-
ing his charge, stated that noarly all
the high crimes, and all the homicides
in the County for three years, are at
tributablo to tho inordinato use of
liquor. You should try to bring to
light all parties who are pcddling
liquors or solling without licenso.-
There is no law for peddling liquor
and this business should be stopped.
His 1lonor then briefly instructed

GRATUIrIoUs ADvICE.-This species
of advice is not always acceptable,
but doubtless in many instances much
benefit would be derived were it
promptly acted upon. No section OF
the country is exempt from disease
and many regions has its ellis that
flesh is heir to-" TO know the best
means of combating this common ems
cmy, with the least injury to our
pockets and tastes, is certainly q great
advantage. AT this season we must
expect Torpid Liver, ,congcsted spleen,
vitiatcd bile and inactive bowels, and
all prudent persons should supply
themselves with TUFTS Livor Pills,
which will stimulate the lvor, relieve
the cngcrgOd sploon, determine n
healthy flow of bile, thus regulating
the bowels and causing all unhealthy
sccrctions to pass off in q natural
manner. Remember that Gan ounce

when suddenly bright light drew our attention Ia It's

was just the blocks between l23d and l2@th
streets and First aud second avenues, where 1t ex-
ploded about nfty feet apparently above the tops
OF the buildings did not see the meteor
descending until about twenty feet. as IL ap-
pearcd TO me, before It burst II appeared to come
IRON a little east oi the northeast, and II appeared
about the OF large rocket and burst precisely
like one. The SPARKS flew OF, when II burst, IN diner

These appeared TO pass on and were instantly
lost to vicw-somethng In the form OF
bolt about eight pches long, two inches 10
diameter AMI about the color Of rusty iron.
Now TINS its apparent position, size and appear
