Alderman llammett, from Com mittce to Preparo Tax Bill, submitted a Honort, which, on motion, was adopted, and ratified, as " An Ordinance to liaise Supr'ie8 for the Year 1872." The Committee on Fire Department reported having purchased five hundred feet of new hose for Palmetto Fire Engine, and present | ed bill of $405 for same. Report received, and Bill ordered paid. The following letter was received and read : " To the Honorable Mayor and Alilerrnen of Greenville, S. C.: "Gkntlkmkn?I beg to ask your favorable consideration of the following proposition which I respectr..ii.. ...?i? - iiiiij innrvc lU VAJ11IIC1I I u Mr. Elder, a Virginia artist, has painted a full length, life-size portrait ot the late Gen. It. E. Leo, which has given in Virginia universal satisfaction. Several of our Southern cities have given Mr. El der orders for copies of this supo rior painting. It was painted from life, Gen. Lee giving Mr. Elder all the sittings required. My pover? ty alone preveuts ine from carrying out a cherished wish to paint the picture of Gen. Lee, and when, some months ago, I had arranged to do so, und the lamented subject had promised me the sittings, his unexpected illness and death put a tinal stop to my purpose. I have been cncouiaged by several of our citizens to propose, through your honorublo body, to paint a copy of Mr. Elder's original picture, life size, and present it to tbu City of Greeuville, it my fellowcitizens will bear my expenses to and from Richmond, and while there painting the picture. My friends are ready to further the subscription, and I respectfully ask Council to give the proposal their approval and support. 14 Very respectfully submitted, 44 AlukbtG uebuy. "Tuesday, Dec. 5tli, 1871." On motion of Alderman Walter, fifty dollars was appropriated to further the purposes of Mr. Guerry, provided the balance was subscribed by the citizens and friends of Air. Gncrry. The Mayor submitted a letter from His Excellency the Governor in reference to the sale of the State Works to Council. On motion of Alderman Cline, Resolved, That tho Committee State Works bo authorized to purchaso the grounds and buildings known as the 14 State Works," provided, in their judgment, the a;ne can be purchased on reasouuole terms. The Appraisers appointed to as >ees the value of ttiat portion of Dr. Manly's lot necessary to widen the street in front of same, submitted their Report: To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Green* ville, & C.: Gents : The undersigned, appointed a Committee to assess the Jamage by cuttiug off a part of the lot in front of Dr. B. Maoly's nouse, having examined the premises, do agree lo follow tho lines pointed out to ns, as having been made by tho surveyor tor the line >f the now fence. They further agree that the Council shell have i new planed and painted picket once the entire Hue of the trout, ?vith one gate at the present enranee to the dwelling, and a large agon gate wnerever the party in ; barge eh all designate ; the old naterial to be given op for tho 186 of the i>ro|>erty.

To the'Honorable City Council, Greenville, South Carolina: Gentlemen : Some time since, tbe Council appointed a Commit tee to wait upon ine in regard to tlie purchase ot^art of lot of Dev. B. Manly, for the purpose of straightening street in front of lot: afterwards your honorable body appointed nu appraiser to appraise said lot,' 1 to appoint one for Dr. Manly. Said appraisement has been held. (Result, officially, I l have not received.) Said Ap praisers have assessed damages to said lot to tbe oxtent of about one hundred and fifty dollars, or a new fence in front of said lot. As representative of Dr. 13. x i * xuluiuj} x iu enter mis my Proteet to said result of Ap praisers, on tbe following grounds: 1. Never having been waited upon officially by tlio Committee. The Chairman of the Committee had a conversations it h me, after hearing from Dr. Manly, and I stated to him I thought it was worth $500, and new fence, and requested him to call together his Committee ; which Committee was never called, and I was never waited upon by tbem. Next no ticel bad was that an Appraiser hurt Knon I... K...1 ? ?vv? uj IHIUY. 2. No notice was given me ot the time of appraisement, nor did 1 know when it was held until at tor it was decided, and do not now know where the line runs cutting off the lot, except from hearsay, expecting to be present when the appraisement was held. 3. Satisfied the Council does not desire to.injure any of its citizens, without just compensation, I object to the valuo placed upon that portion of the lot cut off for purpose of windening said street; at the same time, do not wish to convey the impression that the Ap, naisers did not act conscientiously in the matter, not having the facts before them, and supposed Dr. Manly desired tho straighten ing of the street. Dr. Manly is satisfied with the street as it is. As representative of Dr. Manly I beg to render this my Protest, and trust gentleman of the Council will give it due consideration. If the Council shall soc proper to appoint an Appraiser, wlioee opinion lias not been formed, I will do the same, and will meet with them, aud after consultation about tho fine to bo run, will agree to leave it to them ; they to select a third party if they cannot agree. Your humblo servant, Julius C. Smm.ii, Agent for Dr. Manly. On motion, the Report ot the i % Appraisers was received and adopted. On motion of Alderman Cline, Resolved, That it is tho desire and purpose of this Council that its administration shall he characterized by a spirit of progress, | looking to the improvement ol the city in all it bearings, wheih er financial, commercial or mechanical. Resolved, further, That no action of the Council shall ho so construed as to imply partiality for Mie improvement of one sec tion of tho city over another, and each st'tion shall ha entitled to tho favorable consideration of Council, in just proportion to its location and merit. Resolved, further, That the thanks of this Council are due Capt. John Westficld for the spirit of improvement and enterprise manifested by the etfort he has made in bringing into market a large number of fino building lots, heretoforo lunch desired to be had. / 1 Resolved, further, That the action recently taken by Council, as to tlio receiving of Washington Street and John Street, be ho altered and amended as that they be received unconditionally. Resolved, That a copy ot these Resolutions be sent to Capt. \Vcatfield. On motion^ Dr. .A D. Hoke and Robert McKay were appointed Appraisers to assess the value ot the laud propro6fed to t>e taken by the city for the purpose of opening a street, from a point on the Buncombe Street, north of Mrs. Elford's lot, and ruuning north-' east to a point ou C. B. Stone's land. On motion of Alderman Ilammett, Resolved, That tho street foi ce be discharged after this week, and only a sufficient number of hands be employed during the winter months to keep up the most urgent repair* on the streets. There bciug uo other business, Gounoil Adjourned. F. A. WALTER, Clerk fro ierrx. A Word to Young MenSidney 11. Stuart, the celebrated New \ ork criminal lawyer, who died the other day, was a Beltmade man. He started out in life as a saddler's apprentice, and at the ai/e of twenty wxa urm-et.lv able to read and write. But the boy bad energy, ambition and faith in himself. A lew years of bard and solitary study enabled him to leave tbe saddler's shop, and step by step, to ascend tbe ladder ot professional success. 11c made both fame and fortune. There is a lesson in tbe lives of such men, and it should not be allowed to pass unheeded. It is a very common thing to hear our youug men remark that the war ruiued their educational prospects. They could full into no greater error. If they would begin the work of self-culture in earnest, they could soon make up for lost time and obtain a first-class cduca- ] tion. Begin the work this winter ! | We have a good library in the city, and books are In reach of every one. Organize literary societies, debating clubs, and private classes. Let billiard rooms and saloons alone. They are the avenues to perdition, and ruin those who frequent them, mentally, morally and physically. An hour or two every night devoted to mental culture would be pleasant, stimulating and improving.? Great progress could be made even in one winter, ai d the result would be that grandest triumph of human energy?a self-made man 1 I T.I I, \finitri i v TK/v L.l a**u Auivuiuiui a iur-o. x ui; ivi lowing summary of the destruction i by the Michigan fires has been > supplied to the Cleveland Leader. The brief recital is more suggestive of misery and wretchedness than that of burned squares and business bloeks. Beginning below Port Austin, Iluron County, Grindstone City, a place of 300 inhabitants, is half destroyed ; then i follow New River, three buildings burned ; Huron City, 500 inhabi tants, totally destroyed; Port i Hope, GOO inhabitants, half gone ; Forest Bay, 200 inhabitants, every house gone; Sandbeach, 400 inhabitants, all destroyed ; Centre Harbor, 150 inhabitants, everything gone ; Rock Falls, 300 in-1 habitants, balf of the town burnt; Elm Creek, 150 inhabitants, totally destroyed : White Rock, GOO inhabitants, every house consumed; Verona Mills, 300 inhabitants, eve ry bouse in the place gone except the minister's. Thus were the little villages of this region scourged, the destruction in the country was proportionately great; the farming townships of Sheridan, Bingham, Paris, Verona,Sherman and Sandbeach were traversed by the flames, which lapped up everything in the shape of houses, barns, fences, t\ :? : - - - | oiuvn, tell iilllig III! piCIIJCIlVS, CI C. ! >>f _ A Bkki.in correspondent of the New York Nation relates the tolj. lowing : u On the entry of one of the Mentz regiments (the eighty- j seventh, which is recruited in Nassau,) 1 witnessed a little incident which is worthy of being narrated here. The regiment was on its way to Schlostplaiz, when a stout, resolute woman broke through the ranks, put away the otlicer at the head of the stpiad, and embraced her husband, loudly crying : 1 lie has belonged to you long enough, now he is mine cuico more, and you will not get hold of him again !' When the other women standing along the street, and eagerly watching for their turn, noticed this un ceremonious procedure there was no longer any restraint ; they all broke into the lines, and each ot them seized her son, husband or sw eel heart. The Captain could not defend himself against this invasion, good naturedly sutfered to pass wiiat lie could not stop, and led his men and wourcii to the Schlossplatz, where amid the cheering ot the people the women assisted the soldiers in unstrapping their Li i ill Clicks or held their mn.. die guns, while ill the other hand each curried u bundle of modest citizens' clothes, and afterwards ull ate and drank merrily together." Skcrktof Sucokss.?A merchant who, from being a very poor boy, had risen to wealth and renown, was once asked by an intimate friend to what ho attributed his success ill life. *' To prompt and steady obedience to my pareuts," was the rc- , ply. " lit the midst of many bad example* of youths of my own age, 1 was always able to yield a | ready submission to the will of my ' father and mother, and 1 firmly 1 believt that a blessing lias, in con 1 sequence, rested upon me and ull I my eftbrls."

Do now contemplates a kindred work for ( the land, calculated to be not le?s beneficial to agriculture than were his wind and current charts to commerce and navigation. But in order to get the materials neces sary to his scheme, l'rofessor Maury conceives it necessary that the General Government should lend a helping hand. He wants the establishment, by international cu-upuru,iion, 01 a general am systematic plan of meteorological observation and crop reports, and suggests, in furtherance ot this object, a conference of leading meteorologists ot all nations, commissioned by their governments, like that which was held at Brussels in 1853, tor the purpose of connect ing with the plan now proposed the system that was then devised for the sea?ot arranging details and providing a general system of observations. I low the Would Judges Christians.?There are persons who judge of Christians us a man would judge of apples, who should enter an orchard and go 6tooping along upon the ground in search of them, lie picks up one, a hard, green thing, no bigger than a walnut.? lie bites it , it is &our and bitter ; it puckers up bis mouth and sets his teeth on edge. " Hal" lie 6ays, throwing the untimely fruit away, "1 hear them speak of apples as being so delicious?I'm sure I don't think much of this one." lie picks up another which looks vellow. There's a hole in it. hut lie don't know what that means, so he bites into it and finds a worm. 4iI>ah ! apples delicious, indeed," he cries in disgust ; and then picks up a third which is crushed by his touch, for it is rotten. So ho condemns apples, because he has looked for them upon the ground instead of on the trees above his head, where they hang ripe, juicy, and luscious, a chief treasure of autumn. Just eo men judge of Christians, so long as they take tor lair samples those that lie rotten on the ground.?//. If^. Beec/icr. GnmoN says : 44 Every person has two educations ; one which he receives from otheis, and one more important which he gives himself." Hard conditions draw out a man, and you and I are better for such an education. A man needs to be hackled and spun just as much as raw cotton does. And the best gin tor him ir., first oxy gen (gin for bodily health,) and secondly the gin ut grinding circumstances, to make a mental man of him. He needs to be pulled through ; narrow places as much as the wire, before be will be lit for bridging i lie great gorges and chasms of life, which swallow up the bloated and capon-lincd. It a man were offered ten times as manv gold eagles as he could P e> cairy, he had better send them twenty miles from home and swear that ho will nei> dim ot ll>??n> except that he walks hack and forth for each one by one, before he spends it. A dollar it never worth a dollar to a man until he has given a dollar's worth of work for it by hand or brain. ?- What to no wiie^t Anoky.?" I get mad 60 quickly, and then I'm sure to say something that I'm sorry tor ever afterwards." When angry, count three before speaking," answered the boy's father. The next time the l>oy fell into a tit of anger with one of his school fellows, lie remembered the advice of his father, and counted three, liy this time he was able to keep back hard words that were ready to leap from his tongue, and so saved himself the grief of shame and repentance. Try this remedy, ouick tempered boys and girls, it is be6t, of j course, not to get angry ; but if you do happen to lose your selfcontrol, then put u seal on your li]>s, and remain silent until your | hot blood has cooled a little, and utter a while you will be able to keep your temper from breaking out ami doing both yourself and others harm. i i ? Economy.?There is nothing like | beginning lite with settled econo- ? inical principles. Extravagance | is a habit easily contracted, and f goes on increasing as a snowball t Iocs in volume wnen rolling down \ bill. The slangphraso, "Go it j ivjjIo you're young, lias been the j j ruin of thousands. it A pair of tights?Two drunkards.

Cboqukt Buskin is the name of a new style of shoe. God protects men when they are in his way, but not when out of his way. Itr we can not find blessedness in Christ, we can find it no where.

When alone we Um thoughts to watch ; in the family, our temper; in company our tongues. Day and night yield us contrary blessings, and at the same time assist each other, by giving fresh lusture to the delight* ot both. There is no one so decent as not to bo evil spoken of; there is no one so wicked as to merit all condemnation. Doty and Safety.?It is one of the worst ot errors to suppose that there is any other path of safety except that of duty. We often omit the good wo might do ih consequence of thinking about that which it is out of our power to do. Ninety thousand emigrants came into the United States last year from British America.? Many of these were Europeans, but the majority were Canadians. Mexican newspapers are discussing the annexation of Mexico to the United States. However many friends you have,* do neglect yourself ; though you have a thousand, not one ot them loves you so much as you ought to love yourself. Laudable PcRauiTS.?To be ever active in laudable pursuits iR the distinguishing characteristic of a man of merit. Suspicion.?IIo that lives in perpetual suspicion, lives tbe life of a sentinel never relieved, whose business it is to look out for and expect an eneiny, which is an evil not very far short of perishing by liiin. I think it is tho most beautiful and hnman thing i:i the world, so to mingle gravity with pleasure that tha one may not sink into melancholy, nor the other rise up into wantonness.?Pliny. Sin.?The approaches of sin arc l ike the oouduct of Jael : it brings butter in a lordly dish ; it bids high for the soul. But when it has fascinated and lulled the victim, tha nail and hammer aro behind.
