Improvements. ? Our enterprising fellow townsmen, Messrs. Andrews & Sain are erecting a new building on the northeast corner of the Baptist Church i ot, which will add mach to the improve ment of that portion of our thriving Town.

Tho horse racks around the Court House square are a nuisance and aught to be removed by our "City Fathers." All day long the business men of the square are annoyed by the snorting and stamping of horses neu iiivre. Some evil disposed persons, Saturday night, shifted the gate of the track at a place near Branchvillo, causing the ears to run off, badly smashing three cars. E Torts warn made to arrest the parties, but they osoaped. Alahm of Fire.?Yesterday morn- j iog about thrco o'clock, our quiet Town was itouaed by the ory of "fire." Soon the bells were ringlog ont their notes of alarm ; and amongst them, the small dinner bell at the dames could be hcurd with distinctness. It Tfas soon ascer tained that the lire was on the promises of Mr. E. W. Fenn near the Claflip University. It was supposed to have originated in the fowl-houso' which to gether with a oow stable was entirely destroyed.

During the storm, a light ning bolt struck a tall pine near the store of Mr. Loryea, shivering it to pie ces and producing such a shock, thut one of tho family of Mr. L.'s was pros trated to the floor, but not much heart. A cool shower of ruiu fell ou Thurs day, imprting a more luxuriant hue to the tolliago of the numerous shade trees that line the streets of our beautiful Town ; and causing tho housewives' eyes to glisten as they saw tho garden "sass" spriug into new lifo. -?,..-.. I pray you iuform her what has t ikcu place." Henry was about twenty-two years old, and was recently a stodent in the School of Fine Arts. Before he was shot ho was asked if he would like to see a' priest, and one of tbo bishop's chaplains offered his service?. Henry refused to ecc hi..i. He was then asked if he would like to sco a Protestant y>of !ei:r. He replied "No : I believe in no God?nono of us do; we are of the uni versal and atheistical republic. Why should I waste my time by fleeing nny priest ?" A Taluudio Legend.?- A prince ooco eaid to Rabbi Gamaliel: "Your God is a thief! He ouco surprised Adam in irfocp, aud stole a rib from him. The Rabbtc's daughter overheard the speech, and whisperod a word or two in her father's ear, asking his permissiou to answer tho singular opinion herself. He gave his consent, Tho girl stepped forward, and feign" tug torror and diemaj, threw her arms aloft in supplication, and cried, "My liege, my liege! Justice!

"A wicked thiof has taken," she re plied. 14A robber has cropt secretly into our houso, aud carried awny a sil ver goblet, and left a g?dd one in its steal." "What nn upright thiof !" exclaimed the Prince. "Would that such robbe ries were of more frequent occurrence *' "Behold, then, the kiud of a thief our Creator was I He stole a rib from Adam, and gave a beautiful witc instead."

Tho old roads arc clear, but they nro worn and crowded. Blncc a now path through tho woods for yourself, young man, and you will arrive at the goal of success ahead of your competitors.

It is a very significant fact, that notwith standing the long period of years that the "Tain Killer" has been Leforo the world, it never lost one whit of its popularity, but, on I he contrary, tho call for it has steadily in creased from its first discovery, and at no previous time has the demand for it been so great, or the quantity made been t>o large, as it is to day. Another significant fact is, that nowhere has the Pain Killer ever been in higher re pute, or been more generally <*-ed by fami lies aud individuals, than it has Been here at home, where it was first discovered and in troduced. That the Pain Killer will contin ue 'o be, what we have styled it, the great mcdizine of the world, there cannot be the shadow of a doubt?[Providence Advertiser. %M7 at fill supply of Watches, Clocks, JEWELRY*, &0., ax waits OX ham).
