OJf .'uR?TERS RE- | 3VLA[^IN"Gr in. the Postoffloe at the end. of eaoh -week is published, offi? cially- in T BC K DAILY NEWS1 ever j' UTriclay mornins. LOCAL MATTERS. CHBISTMAS.-To-morrow being Christmas, no paper will be issued from this office on Wednesday morning. Advertisers will please take notice, and leave their favors to-day for to-morrow's issue. WE PUBLISH on our second pago the titles of the j Acts passed by the recent L?gislature, as also in full tho Tax and Appropriation Acts. PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS will be celebrated by RightRev. Dr. LYNCH at the Cathedral Chapel, on Christinas morning, at ton o'clock, instead of half past ten, as announced. SJ?NOERBTO'?.-The Association nf German Sing? ing Birds will give an entertainment to-morrow | night. The programme has several choice pieces of music, to be followed by a comedy, "Charlie's First Love," which, we have no doubt, will prove entertaining. BISHOP ELLIOTT.-Rev. C. C. PTNCKNET, Rector of Grace Church, delivered an eloquent eulogy yesterday afternoon, on the life and services of | Bishop ELLIOTT. He w&s listened to with rapt attention by his entire audience. FIBJE.-There was an alarm of fire about 6 o'clock last evening; the engines were hauled with the usual promptness. But there was no fire. The alarm was occasioned, no doubt,-from a bright j glare to ?he southward, supposed to proceed from a fire on James Island. BISHOP ANDBEW.-We had the pleasure of hear? ing this venerable divine preach in Trinity Church yesterday morning! The Bishop has preached here at intervals for over half a century, and has always been a great favorite, both in church and social circles. He bears his age much better than we had anticipated, and is nearly as vigorous in thought and language as he was twenty years ago, when wo first heard him. He was assisted yester? day by Bev. H. M. MOOD. UNIOS EXLWTNNTNG LODGE, No. 4, A. F. M At a, regular monthly communication of Union Kilwinning Lodge, No. ?, A. F.

AUSTIN, Tyler. .Re-elected. t Vice Bro. T. A. FULLEE, who declined a re-election. THE NEW EBA.-Many of our citizens, we feel as? sured, Blared with us a feeling of pleasure at the { appearance of life given to our streets yesterday 1 by the running of the street cars. Sunday has hitherto always been a particularly dull day; but this first step, we are satisfied, is to inaugurate a ! change. The cars were well filled yesterday all day; ; and we noticed staid and staunch old citizens, many of them church-goers, avail themselves of I these public carriages thus established to give rest. I to their private beasts, as becometh good Chris- f tians, who bear in mind the fourth commandment. We are glad the Directors have concluded to run their cars on Sundays, inasmuch as it is a great public convenience, quite as much so, if not more, than on tko other six days of the week. Many per- I sons, unable to leave their workshops or places of business during the week, may now treat them? selves, their wives and little ones to a Sunday ] ride up the road, and enjoy a little fresh, salu? brious, country air, and all at a very small outlay ? of United States fractional currency. WHEBE IS NOAH WEB3TEB ?-We have not in a long time come across so original a genius as the gentleman who wields the paint-brush for the pro- I prietor of HOOFLAND'S Bitters. Dictionaries are j all very well for hum-drum every-day folks. But this kui glit of the brush has painted his decree for orthographic emancipation in huge, glaring letters over all the walls and fences of our city. DA one ? place .you read Germon Bitters, at another the de? lightful compound is spelled Bittrs. The disease that giveB one the blues he playfully styles Dy pepsia, and again Dispepsia. Weakness he calls debilety, and sends people to the Drugg stores for their fisyck. Who knows the name of this distinguished pro- j tagonist in foneticks ? It should be placarded alongside his own variations on old WEBSTER'S "theme." Why is it that sign painters will insist on bad spelling ? We have seen many instances of it both in this and many other cities, but never, to our belief, such a clear proof of innate depravity as in the case cited above, in which the artistic range was in itself so restricted, and where yet he found such ample room for blunders. THE Huso's MOUNTAIN MILITARY SCHOOL, in YorkviHe, we are happy to learn, is in a flourishing condition, and no institution in the country is more, worthy of public patronage. This school; as most of our readers know, was established on the 1st of January, 1855, by the late Gen. M. JENKINS, one of the most gallant men the State ever sent forth, and by Col. A. COWARD. The latter gentleman is now the Principal. The purpose of this school is to prepare pupils for higher institutions of learning; also, to afford a good, plain education to such as may not desire to complete the more advanced scientific and classical course of studies. The buildings are of an excel? lent character, constructed by the Principals for their present purpose. Torkville, where the Acade? my ia located, is situated on the dividing ridge between the Broad and Catawba Rivers, and with? in the influence of the mountain atmosph?re, and bas always enjoyed an enviable reputation for health. The first session of 1867 will begin on the 15th of January, and end on the 15th of June.. Tuition per session of five months, with books, stationery, board, lights, fuel and washing, $115. in specie, or its equivalent. To FELL THE STOCKINGS.-How lucky that good St. NICHOLAS has sent bia argosy just at the very r?ck of .time. The Grapeshot, from Havana, has just arrived with a large Cargo of bananas, cocoa nuts, oranges, etc., consigned to Messrs'. WILLIS k CHJBOLK, BAST <fc Wurra, and B. PATTAHX, who . will supply them to purchasers in suitable lots. See B. & We advertisement. . MAYOR'S COURT, December 22_John Allen, a colored individual of considerable energy of character, who had exerted himself t:> the utmost to got into a fight and raise a row at tho hoad of tho Market, bot did not succeed, was fined $3 as a kind of relief for his failure. A black boy. having gone iuto tho store of a white man to buy somo gools in the shape of a paper of needlos and a thimble, for which he paid fifteen couts, and they not suiting the person for whom this largo business transaction was made, the youth returned to the establishment, and desired the vendor to fc^ke back the articles and give him the amount expended, which request so struck the man who sold the gools as being ridiculous, that he struck the boy in tho eye, who immediate? ly appealed to a brickbat standing by in the street, and then they both carriod on a conversation in? tended to bo defensive, but turned out to bo very offensive, and they were consequently both carried ? before tho Mayor, who fined the white man $5. and : the darkey $2. An individual, who had gone home hungry, un? der the idea that his supper was ready and found it was not, and who commenced an attack on his wife that made som^j of his neighbors behove he was going to swallow his better half, was made to pay $10. Two Italians, one with a very red nose, who, probably, had been conversing about the celebra? tion of Christmas in their own country, and who were overcome by tho excitement that such a dia? logue might produce at a time like this, and who, regardless of any expenses, had fired off a pack of crackers apicco in the streets, were fined $5 each. John Brown, a very black man, and rather seedy in appearance, who had attempted to open a cor? respondence with a hen house in the Upper Wards, at about three o'clock in tho morning', but who lett in a hurry when ho saw another colored man de? sirous to make his acquaintance but was subse? quently caught, was imprisoned for five days. Four poraons, who cannot smoko but tinder the influence of the sea breeze, paid $5 each for puff? ing thoir "real Havanas" on the wharf. IN THE COURT OF APPEALS on Friday, opinions were announced as follows: Wesley Whitman ads. the State. Wardlaw, J. Motion dismissed. Prisoner sentenced by Ward law, J. Dennis Drawdy and Joseph C.

The State vs. Atlas Quick el al. Wardlaw, J. Appeal sustained. Charles Sauls and Henry Crosby ads. the State. Inglis, J. Appeal dismissed. The business of the term being fully disposed of the Court adjourned sine die. LIGHT AND AIRY.-Tho editor of the Boston Post m&kes public some private information he has recently received, to the effect that the latest Pa? risian style of ladies' dresses is something about midway between Mazeppa and the French Spy. To our thinking, FITZ-GREEN HALLECK must have had this style of dressing in his head when he wrote "And ladies this ethereal manner dressed' in, Look Eve-like, angel-like, and Interesting." A new company in Montreal, including large capitalists, intend applying to Parliament, during its next session, to dam the river St. Lawrence at Lachine Rapids, for the purpose of obtaining hy draulic power. The capital proposed by the com? pany is to be.$2,000,000. THROUGH TICKETS TO JACKSONVILLE.-Special attention is called to the advertisement of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, by which through tickets may be obtained from Savannah to Jack? sonville, Florida, in seventeen hours, for twelve dollars. P. BUCKHETT'S BAKERY.-The attention of the public is invited to the advertisement of P. BUCK HETT, Baker and Confectioner, northwest corner of Line and Meeting streets, where will be found a great variety of bread, cakes, pies, candies, con? fectionery, fcc, and gotten np in the best style. PEDESTRIANISM.-Mr. JOHN SHEPARD, the cele* brated pedestrian, whose recent feats in Savannah and Augusta have excited great surprise, has ar? rived in theoity, having accepted a challenge, and will commence on to-morrow evening walking one hundred hours consecutively without rest of any kind. See his advertisement. WE WOULD call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of HARRISON BARNET, NO. 126 William street. Mr. BARNET is one of the most extensive manufacturers of window shades, cor? nices, Sec., and from the high reputation he has enjoyed for many years, dealers and others can safely send their orders, with the certainty of their being faithfully and promptly filled. To THOSE wanting Artificial Legs or Anns we would call particular attention to the advertisement in "another column. mths A NEGLECTED COUGH, COLD, OR SORE THROAT,. which might be checked by a simple remedy like " Brown's Bronchial Troches," if allowed to pro? gress may terminate seriously. For Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh/ and Consumptive Coughs, ''The Troches" are used with advantage, giving often? times immediate relief. Singers and public speak? ers will find' them also excellent to clear the voice and render.articulation wonderfully easy. mwfS MARSDEN'S PECTORAL [BALM for Coughs, Colds, Influenza.
