Rev. Dr. Ss.ar*, * gentleman eminent for hia talents, scholar* hip and piety, arrived in Qreeoville on Tl qrsday evening last ? On tlio next day, at his suggest ion, the Town Council, together villi a numl>rr of other gentlemen, met together to Receive from liim explanations of the plan for aid" ing public schools, adopted by the Trustees" whom he represents. It was favorably received and a committee appointed to report upon the best scheme of raising the fund necessary to obtain the ahl of twofifths additional from the Teobody Fund.? The Con mil tee appoin'ed a subcommittee, ?bo met Ftldny evening, and agreed to recommend the people to raise twelve hun dred d< liars, so as to procure eiglit hundred dollars from Dr. Peaks, This scheme was agreed to the next day by the General Committee ; but the proper spirt wss roused, and I efore the public meeting was bold on Monday evening they agreed to enlarge their plan. The result will be m en in the proceed logs of the meeting, wl icli appear in our columns. There can now be no doubt that tlie plan will succeed. A good many eiti*ens of our Town were not. present on Monday evening ; many of them of known liberality and public sj iril who w ill donl Iless not be behind hand in aiding the work which Iihs t een so well begun. The vieit of Dr. Pears will be memorable in ocr annals, not for the mere contribution of molded ase:stance to the cause of educa lion, that is limi'cd ; but because it. is the deration of starling an enterprise which we tniM, as vm mid by me of the speaker* on Monday evening, the people of the Town, l.y the Meeting of God, will not litdie? We aro pleased to learn that the llail road* in the Southern Slate*, wi-hio t exception, give Dr. Sraks a free passage, at d he i( coi dially received in every place. That was eminently the case nl Greeuville. Th? Entertainment for the Benefit of the Fire Company. A company of amateur musician*, com posed altogether of young gentlemen of the Town, most of whom are members of the Fire Company, gave two exhibit im a, one Fiidny night and Saturday night of la*t week, for the purpose of assisting to r-lieve the indebtedness of the Company which had bc-n contracted in supplying it* mem bora with uniforms. The undertaking, we are pleased to know, has met with a conv plele Boeeess, not only in raising the amouul desired, but in interesting those who werr so kind and generous aa to patronize it among w hom were many of the first of oui ditizens and Indira, Every one was satisfied with the outlay, and expression* of praisr came from all lips. We learn that other mtertainments mnj be given, for the purpo.se of aiding tin FublicSchool Fund 01 Greenville. Th? Fire Department of Greenville ii now under thorough organicition, and it value cannot we'l be overestimated, fi case a fire should at any time oeeur, w? hare two engines whose streams will hi made to war with the fieiv element : am U w? may judge of their effectiveness bj the mauner in which witter was thrown n the reeent annual parade of the Palmette our citizens can terl some tolerable d< gre of aecutiiy. ? < *- ?
