We have been requested to publish the circular below and we do so with great pleasure, with the earnest hope that its publication may help to aid the noble worx of charity proposed. As stated, the Fair will be held in the city of Charleston on the first day of February next, thus affording ample time for those whose sympathies arc always enlisted in behalf of the widow and orphan, to' contribute in such a wray as inay' suit their tastes and means. ~We trust that Newberry will respond to the call of the committee: The Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston. South Carolina, recog nizing the high and deserving claim, which is' ma.de upon their~ gratitude -andreembrenee by the-widows and orphans of their deeeased -members, s1ike with that aered-ohligation which C -. e it of-an enlarged charit en ;omus!.upon ,a& generous community, der the auspices of theIdies of Charleston, aided by their frieidsiit the States of Vii'nia and Georgia (whose example we Irust will he followed by-those. i.ether Comnionwealtbs), to hold a Fair, to be opened in the City of Charlestou on the frst day 6f-1Pebruary next.

The memory of the times. and the signal even.s. amid which our*orgaui zation sp.aug into life; the exalted and dig,nified character of its earlyI founder and first commander; the ele vated tone and distinguished virtues which have characterized a long roll of 'members; the great Washington, the Tather - of our Couniry, whose name' we bear; the historical flag, fragrant of Revolutionary associations. committed to our keeping by the widow of the bave William Washing ton, and which now'floats at the head of our -column; all these inspirations should awaken a lively zeal, and open wide the fountains of a noble charity for our stricken and bereft survivors. At the close of the late war, the. Washi Light Infantry Charita ble Association, the representative of the. old corps. was formed to afford the desired relief to the destitute families of our deceased members, but its re sources have proved inadequate for the requisitions upon its benevolence. The number of those worthy of aid have increased, and the claims of sue mor become more imperative. Since the pi ion of the Association with the organization of the war, and of"the old Company, the field of our labors have been widened, and the sphere of our duties and -responsibili Lies enlarged. ..Under these circumstances, it is proposed so extend its'beneficence, and place, by a permanent fund, the chari table feature of the organizatida upon ; firm and solid basis. ::With the saered, obligation:of the dead resting upon. us, the Washington. Light Infantry have* put in motion [he proiposed Fair ; and holding up as incentive. its record of nearly three quarters of a century, earnestly and confidently appeals to all its members and friends, and to the public at large, by theii aid to insurieths success-ofso noble a charity.

Sheriff Southern of Greenville, <on Wednesday last,. added three to the number of .convicts in the Peniten tiary. Singular to relate, one of the number had been convicted of forgery.' This is the first colored forger we have' ever heard of. Southern says he has taken down fifty-five convicts in four years. The Alston House was crowded to' repletion on Thursday and Friday last -the Spartanburg & Union trains being accidentally prevented from run ning on those days. The big pots and little p6ts had to be kept boiling night and day. The number of turkeys slain by reason of it was immense.

A Paris correspondent say.,.in de scribing the office of the "igaro: "Opening upon the grand gallery that runs around the Spanish palio or ro tunda, are the rooms or halls that lead to the rooms of the various employees. These are all furnished in maguificent style, wit,h rosewood farniture, rili carpets, tapestry, bronzes and marble statues. Some rooms acconuodate a single writer, others two or three. The principal editor, De Villeuessant, occupies a small room on the ground floor, to the right of the principal en triace. There are also a richly fur nished council room, in which all the literary force meet once each month; bed~rooms, bath rooms, and breakfast and ditxing rooms-for all the literary force of the paper, save the editor-in chief, eat, sleep and live in the same building. There is also a very large room whose sides are hung with masks and glittering foils. Each day, at 2 o'clock, all. the employees assemble in this room and receive lessons in fencing from an expert. This is obligatory on.each one, for the reason that each individual is expected to hold himself in readiness to call or be called to the field of honor at a moment's notice. Any hesitatioxL in such a case would secure the instant dismissal of the individual involved." Brief Mentions.

A shock of earthquake 'was distinctly felt at Salem and Newburyport, Massa chus'etts, on Tuesday.

A Boston hlady reached the railroad depot just as the train'on which she de sired to depart moved away. As she stood gazing at the train, her arms full of packages and her eyes full of tears, a gentleman arrived at the depot on a run, with a valise in hand, his coat on his arm, and face streaming with perspi ration. He also was after that train, but alas! was too late. As he looked an.xiously after the train, now mioving swiftly away, he sat down on his valise, wiped his face, and very deliberately said: -'D-n that train !" The lady beard it, and smiling on. him with all her swveetness, her face lighted up with a heavenly glow as she whispered: "Thank you, sir." On Wednesday a fashionably dressed man entered T. D. Bymmier & Co.'s jewelry store, Broadway, New York, and asked the clerk to show him some diamond rings. Two plates of rings were shown him, and he examined them. He-requested the clerk 1o put a number of rings in a better light, as he desired to test them. Seemingly not satisfied with the selection, he asked to be shown some rings of greater value, and while the clerk was looking for another plate of rings, another man called upon Mr. Bvminer and inquired the price of a han~dsome bronze elock. Seemingly pleased, he said he would call again with his wife, aind quietly walked out. A few minutes later the clerk returned with the rings, and not seeing either the plates or his customer. asked Mr. Bynimer whether he had bought a rig. WIr.
