Enlargement of the Publi Square.?A matter which ha3 bee mooted since our late fire, and whic would seem to commend itself to th best judgment of our people, is the pr< priety of enlarging the Public Squan by taking in a large section of the Burr District?that above and adjacent to tli Court House. The advantages of sue a step are manifest?first and principal! it would decrease largely the risks froi fire to the Court House and its record and second it would add much to tl commodiousness and beauty of the pul lie Square. The first consideration at ; dresses itself to the people of our coui ty especially, and the second equally 1 town aud country. Now, before tt work of renovation and improvemei begins, is the time to move in the ma ter. The work rc9ts with the Count Commissioners, but in a matter whic involves a liberal expenditure the would perhaps desire some expressio of public opinion.- Let tbeui call a pul lie meeting if necessary, and if advisi ble submit the question to the popult vote. The enlargement of * the Publ Square would give an enhanced value I the property adjoining that whic would be appropriated, and we migl ' hence hope to purchase the property i question for a reasonable compensatioi Sale Day.-?There was a very larg attendance of our fellow-citizens o Monday last, and our Public Square pr< sented a very busy, bustling appearand The only public sales, were by tli Sheriff, of lands of the estate of J.

Kaphan & Sklarz disposed i public outcry of a portion of their stoc saved from the late fire, at fair prices. In spite of the loss of so many of tl groceries, there seemed to be no lack < the "O'be joyful," and towards evenin we 8ftw a goodly umber like Tai O'Shanter, "o'er all the ills of life vii ' * torious." -j Death of Col.

Crews, < l* the Laurenaville Herald, in his editorii s of the 24th ultimo, thus speaks a kin li | word for Abbeville, and the sufferers b n the late fire. AVe all appreciate his r< e marks, which renew and bring afresh 1 the memory pleasant recollections < the associations and friendships < former years. When here his cordi h manners and warm heart had won f< r- him many friends, whose best wishes a n tend him. Success to the Herald and i editor: " Abbeville Aoain in Ashes ! We publish elsewhere an account of j- most sad and destructive fire which o j I curred at Abbeville C.

Lunatic Asylum?Letter or D ExPOK.?Dr. Ensor, the official Superi cc tcudent of the State Lunatic Asylur n publishes a letter in the Columbia Unio h in which heurgesthe neccsity of makii te the annual appropriation of 5!50,000 f > the support of that institution. At th r? sum the cost of maintenance is mu< it less than of similar institutions of t! ie country. With 300] patients at an a h nual cost of $212 each, which is the ec y of maintenance fixed by the State, tl n total cost of the institution would s, $03,000, but elsewher^ the cost of eai ie patient rises from $20 to $30 per mont > which, at the lowest figures, would sw< 1- the total cost to $72,000. He says: i- "From the last report of the Superi 10 tender.t of the Indiana hospital iorti insane, I fiud the following statemen IC From a carefully compiled table now t it fore me, embracing twenty-one prom t- nent State institutions, Hospitals ai Asylums for the insane in the Unit r States, I find that the average cost p 1 capita for the maintenance of the insai y exclusive of clothing and salaries, is tt n hundred n.n<l twenty-two dollars ai j. forty-eight cents per annum." He hence concludes that the approprj ir tiou asked, of $50,000, is a very uiodera ic one* 0 The Political Situation.?Sen 1 tor Doolittle of Wisconsin, in a rccei 1 letter says: "In my opinion tlio prcsc 11 party holds power simply because tlio im who are opposed to it do not act t getlicr.
