UNCANNY SOUNDS.
In An Old Farm House Frightens Bold
Hunter

Hunler.
A jolly party Of four bold hunters
were out last Thursday for r days shoot
log on Campbell's ranch. They were
near "A house occupied by an old German,
who lived there alone, and was In the
field plOughing, when the party arrived.
The greater part of the day was 81 ent IN
shooting, but one Of the party, a Mr..
Wilson, becoming quite i'll, concluded TO
20 to the house and lie down, accom-
panied by another Of the party, Mr.. Lu-
cien I.acoste. They went 70 the house,
bur could not get in until they climed in
ut back window. While there, they
noticed little DIR. Lindner, another OF
the hunters, coming up TO the front OF
the house, where gallery ran along the
front. and Lacoste and Wilson, knowing
the doctors naturally timid cOnstitu-
ton, decided to frighten him. shortly
after the doctor had seated himself on
the gallery and was cody discussing
bottle OF beer he took from the wagon,
one of them began grOaning in very
ghOstly fashion, which IL did not take
the doctor long to hear. He soon va
Gated the gallery and made very quick
time to the front gate, whrre the mules
were soon bitched by him 10 the wagon
and other preparations 10 return home
made by him, all with ever and anon
'furtive chances at the house and all
about him. After setting his watch an
hour fast, he fortified himself with an
other bottle of beer, and then began fir
ing his gun, the signal agreed upon TO
call the party together. When the two
miscreants came out Of the house and
around the corner the doctor told them
there were ghosts or something In the
house and wanted to get home, but
would not venture with the others to
investigate when they offered to do so.
The party came to town and even now
the doctor believes there was something
wrong about that house.

CHARLESTON, September 4th.-Last nights
shock hes served to greatly impair conf
dence. Nearly all the people slept or re-
mained cut of doors during the night. The
great dread now is the approach Of the equi-
noctial gales, which always have been dis
astrous in Charleston. In fact, last years
disasters were SO great rs TO attract national
attention. is estimated that every house
in the city has had It's foundation shattered
by the earthquakes. Walls have been rent,
chimneys and steeples are Off their square,
and there is nothing sound about the city.
If the equinoctial gale is of usual severity,
and should strike the city before consider
able repairs can be made, nearly every
house in the city would be blown down.
The gale comes sometimes as late as the
first week in September, but last year it
came in the LAST week of August. 1t will
thus be seen that the city is in imminent
danger at any moment. The storm would
cause such crashing OF timber, brick and
mortar as was never before heard Of. The
temperature has changed so as to warn
people that the storm is at hand. The eff
fects of weeks storm and pelting rain
upon houseless women and children would
be appalling. Six ladies are reported TO be
dying from fright. The effort made early
yesterday to clear away the debris has been
abandoned, and the people are settling
back into the melancholy Of Yesterday.
Two Aldermen from each ward, with three
citizens, have been appointed to condemn
unsafe buildings. Berkeley. The Chairman
of the committee, has entered upon his du-
ties. He knows not what to do, where to
begin or where to stop. He freely declares
have been preferable, for in that case the
insurance would have helped 10 repair the
waste places.

THE CITY A MELANCHOLY RUIN.

Charleston is melancholy ruin, almost
beyond restoration. Very few buildings
are entirely thrown down, but looking
along the streets one sees that the houses
are almost robbed of their chimneys, and
that the sidewalks and in some places the
roadways, are filled with heaps of bricks,
stucco. twisted ratings and broken glass.
Here and there you come across buildings,
the front or rear walls of which have been
thrown down, and more frequently the
bricks under the gables down to the cor
nices are upon the ground.
The city still stands, but from South
Battery walk, lined with the dismantled
across to the Cooper river, one goes from
street to street and from house to house to
find that no one is uninjured, while many
of those that stand, after defying the energy
of the earthquake, threaten to fall. Many
of them, and it is not eXtrayagant to say a
quarter of the number, will have to be
taken down. There are about 1900 or
$4,000 buildings in the city. To replace a
quarter of this number will cost 100000
or s. 900, GOO according to the estimates of
moderate persons.
About $50 600 in cash has been received
for the sufferers, and the indications are
that several times that amount would be
forwarded. 4 reporter made a detour of
the city to-day and was surprised to find sc
much wrecked property which had before
escaped the eyes of the press representa-
tives. At least four out of five of ell the
buildings are damaged more or less. City
Assessor Kelly says that the loss will reach
$40 600 600

A SHOWER OF paBBLEs

The sensation to-day is the falling Of q
shower of pebbles in the lower part of the
city The first fall was at 7:30 o'clock this
morning and the second occurred at about
II o'clock. They were seen to fall in a
slanting direction from south to north.
There are morsels of flint among them, and
all are plainly abraded and worn by the
action of water Some few have sharp
fractures and have evidently been recently
broken. The fact of the fall is vouched
for by several trustworthy persons. The
bulk of the pebbles fell around the Neags
and Courier office.
The bar or harbor Of Charleston has not
been affected by the earthquake. Sound
ings taken on Wednesday show seventeen
and half feet of water in South Chan
mel one hour before high water, and in
Pumpkin Hill Channel sixteen and one
half feet of water. There is absolutely no
deterioration.
