SOUTH CAROLINA LAW REPORTS.-The LUI volume of Richardson's Law Reports, containing appeals at law decided by the chief justices ol South Carolina during the years 18G6 aud 13G7, has just been received by the publishers, Messrs. E. J Dawson, of this city. The3e reports arc of 8vo. neatly bound in law sheet, and are indispensible to every lawyer's library. Richardson's Report have been legal authority for years, and there are few members of the bar who wiJl not avail them selves of the present opportunity and secure a copy of the work. SP ARRINO MATCH.-I he fancy will have an op portunity of indulging in their taste for the manly art to-night, as a sparring match will be given this evening at the Hibernian Hall by noted pugilists of this city and New York. The performances will be varied by singing and dancing, by banjo players and negro minstrels. Darby Kelly, of New York, will engage with Mr. Wm. H. White, of Boston, in a grand sj arring match. A number of other per? sons well k aown in sporting circles will ap.pt.-ar and participate in the evening's entertainment. To those who are posted in tho science some fun is promised. THE LOSS OF THE RALEIGH_The Captain oi the steamer Ashland, which arrived at Savannah yes? terday, reports seeing off this city a vessel so low in the water that he could not make out her name, but which he supposed to bc tho wreck of the Raleigh. This account is very vague and unsatisfactory. If the Ashland was so near as to make out what the wreck was. she might, it seems, SIBO have ascer? tained whet er any living persons were then upou it. But, if the Raleigh was afloat as late as Thurs? day night, there ia still hope that some of the missing crew may have been taken off by a pass? ing vessel. YOUNO MENS CHRISTIAN AS^UTIOX.- The in? terest thr.L was lately felt by the community in re? ligious : .atters was in a great measure due to thc exertions of the Yoong Men'- .ristian Associa? tion, who furthered the canse by the excellent ser? mons that were delivered I ire them. These sermons have given great pleasure to the religious community, and have been the means of attracting numbers of young persons to the house of prayer. The association havo determined to continue the good work, and, to make their weekly discourse still more popular, they have engaged Iho services of several eminent divines, who will preach before them, at intervals, during the winter. Dr. J. A. Broadus, of Greenville, a distinguished divine, will deliver several dieoonrses during the winter, and will be succeeded by others of equal force aB pul? pit orators. INNOCENTS DAY OR CHIEDERMAS. - The 23th of December has been observed from an early period in the history of the church as a festival com? memorative of the barbarous massacre of the children of J^ethlohoni by King Herod. In conse? quence of the feeling of horror growing out of such an act of atrocity, Innocents Day used to bc considered the most unlucky during tho year, and no one, who could avoid it, eLtered upou any work on this anniversary. In ancient times thc massa? cre of the innocents was partially re-enacted in the shape of a sound whipping, which it was cus? tomary to administer to the juvenile members of the family at an early hour in tho morning. This proceeding beiug somewhat unpleasant to the sufferers, the practice was adopted of rising from their conches before their elders and in turn at? tacking those who were too sleepy headed. No importance is now attached to the day. A GEM OF A PICTURE.-Mr. J. J. Muudy, a pho? tographic artist, who has recently opened his gal? lery in King-street, on tte Citadel Green, has created some excitement by his gem pictures. These aro admirably named, for the likeness is transferred in an instant and the impression is invariably correct. Four, eight or sixteen of them can be taken for a dollar, and aro enclosed in card frames of different sizes. The gem picture is taken by a new process that is quite popular in the northern cities, aud is extensively used for carte de visites. Mr. Muudy has had a long expe? rience in this business, and the pictures furnished by him are finished in the best manner know u. His atelier, on King-street, is supplied with all the necessary conveniences, and the sample pictures show at once that they are indeed gems. TEE WIDOWS' HOME BAZAAR.-The Bazaar last night presented even more than its usual attrac? tions, and was attended by a largo number of per? sons, who took advantage of the fine weather and the conveniences offered by the street cars to pro? long their stay to the closing hour. There have been few fairs in this city that have been more popular than the Bazaar, for, aside from its charita? ble object, the arrangement of thc different tables, tho decorations, and thc articles offered for sale, show that the ladies have entered upon their work with a zeal that must insure success. Tho ladies of Richmond and Baltimore hearing of this Bazaar, and learning its object, were liberal in their dona? tions, and some of the moat attractive- articles were furnished by them. Although the rooms are small, and it would seem almost impossible to make any display, each tablo is conspicuous, while there is sufficient space for thc promenaders. The ladies who have undertaken the charitable task of providing ho ncs for thc loved onc-s of our dead soldier-bc.. * deserve great credit. They arc labor? ing in a go ri cause, and there are lew w ho will re? frain from .ontributing their mite. The Bazaar will bd opened again to-night, when the drawings tor tbs prizes will take place. -? HOTEL ARRIVALS. Mitts House.- Wiu. S. Shep? ard and lady, Miss Shepard, Albany, >. Y.;Chas.

STRAWBERRIES IN DECEM?EB.-Thc Aug? per.) mention thc receipt of large and li strawberries, grown this month in Uai The patch was cultivated by Mr. Hilt, a gen nearly eighty-eight years old. When pi rotated, strawberries can be obtained every in the year, but this is seldom done, and th gonarian deserves great credit for his hortic STREBT IMPROVEMENTS. The iniprovemc the streets of the city have been frequently a to in the columns of tho NEWS, hut the cha so gradual that by the unthinking it would 1 noticed. Several streets that wero bet?re i impassible have been restored to their forme: looks, tho side waiko raised aud the pave dlled in. Among i he recent improvements, DOW in progress on thc streets leading fron Bay to Union wharves, is not unworthy of These streets were once furnished with a toad, but time and pilfering havo caused til' appearance of many of thc planks, and the Inspector determined to have a cordurcy roai remained removed and the street repaired, laborers are now busily engaged in this ? taking aud will soon make these streets eq any in the city. Before th'- 'var this was a thoroughfare for the travel to the uptown whi and though thc business ia not aa brisk as i in those days, yet thc streets will bo prepare any emergency and will be more serviceable in their present coudition. --...

Besides the promise of heit great financial iuccess, these .urge deposit phosphates are looked upon with extraordin?r terest by nen of science. A NEW SCHOOL von THE COLORED CHILDREN CHARLESTON.--The number of colored childrc this city, baa beef, roughly estimated at 4,0Ci whom only 3.000 now receivo the advantage education. Since tie introduction of tho Bui of Freedmen, aa a part of the military govcrnn of the land, considerable attention has beeu i to the education of ibo colored classes, and si ral schools both public and private were establ ed in the city. These schools were found to insufficient to accommodate the largo numbei pupils, and aome mouths back a contract was te rod into, and a new building commenced in B street. This school-house which was fully descri by the NEWS at the time, is still uncompleted, contractors having been delayed in procuring necessary stones for sills and coping, which h but recently arrived from New York. The work now progressing, and tho school will be opon at early day. lit being fouud that even with this additio school-home, there were a number of children the upper warda wno were not receiving the be: fits of au education, the Bureau officials det mined to erect another building on Rutledge A nue, which would be convenient to persons livi in that section. This new building will be of wo< two stories high, with a brick basement, anc . \ be able to accommodate between 700 and 8'0 { pils. The first floor will be divided into on-j hu hall, capablo of holding 800 or 400 children, a four class rooms for fifty each. The toco Boor will have six class rooms, each for fi: pupils. The builuiug will be quite ornara* tal, and will be surmounted by a small c palo; stans w?l be inside with au entrance either end. Great care will be taken to ? eure ventilation, and make thc rooms light a un-. It is proposed to erect this building the cast side of Rutledge Avenue above Morr street, aud the Bureau has already advertised f proposils for its construction, to be handed in I the middle of January. TESTIMONLVL TO THE REV. E. J. ME?NARDIL. - PLEASANT RECNION.-It was om- good fortune yt tcrday evening to assist at a ''sutprise party" of ?omewbat unusual ch-racter. According toll edict put forth by Bishop Doggett at the rece session of the South Carolina Conference, Row ] J. Meyuardie, pastor of Trinity Church, was r moved from his late charge, and appointed Charlotte, N. C. Thia is quite m accordauce wil Methodist usage aud the principles of the itinerai ey, but it was contrary to the wishes of the coi gregatiou, who had become much attached to M Meynardie. In order to convey some tangible expression i their regard for then late pastor, the membei quietly arranged a surprise. They procured handsome silver pitcher and salver of Mr. A. 1 Hayden, and having, by a pious fraud, succecdc in getting the pastor and family out of the wa; thc gentle invaders took forcible possession of ti parsonage From the number present wo belier there arc strong grounds for assuming that a re? ular conspiracy has been set on foot. Nearly a thc prominent members of thc congregation wc: there, aud many outside friends. About cigl o'clock Mr. M. and family arrived, and were not little auprised at finding so goodly a eompai around their hearth. Mr. \Y. H. Smith, of tl Board of Stewards, i-ho had been deputed for tl purpose, thc addressed Mr. Meynardie, explaii ing the object of the gathering, and ina few word simple and pathetic, expressed the affection of tl congregation for their minister, and the regn they all felt at parting with him. Ho then pr seuted the ailver aervice aa a feeble token ol' thc appreciation of his worth. Mr. M., muon affected, replied in a few hup) remarks. Hia eloquence was ol' the heart, au readUy found accord in the hearts of all preaon He paid a most touching tribute to General Jame Simons (who honored tho occasion with bia prei ence), as bia early teacher, counsellor and frieiu to whose kindneaa and judicious direction he e: pressed himself much indebted. It is of court impossible to give even a faint reflection of an ou burst of emotion such as was this imprompt speech of Mr. Meynardic's, and wo should do ir justice to him wero we to attempt it. Speeches over, the company was invited u stairs, where thc invaders had prepared a pier teous repast. The table was very bandsomel set, and everything arranged with much taste The supper, we learn, was contributed by th members of thc congregation, and reflected muc credit on those who had thc superintending care Wc heard nothing but encomiums on tho excel lenee of its several component parts. The rcunioi was a happy one, and parting itself almost mad' pleasant by this happy reminiscence associatei with it. On the pitcher were engraved the initials, 'E. J M.," and on the salver, "Rev. E. J. Meynardie Trinity Church, Charleston." THE NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY-COM MENDABLE LIBERAIATV.- Although persons an continually dying, yet few expect they will soon be callod, and therefore are little inclined, by a pres? ent sacrifice, to provide against an evil which, though they know to be certain, they yet suppose to be distant. Thc benefits to be derived from Life Insurance arc, however, becoming daily better ap predated; and the fair dealing aud prompt pav . iue.it made by compauiea, oven on losses for which they might not be legally liable, baa inspired gen? eral confidence in their system and practice. Aa un instance, we publish, by permis ?on, the fol? lowing interesting letter: OWEN SOUND, CAVADA WEST, / December, 1867. \ To Thomas Fruit Fsq., Agent for South Caro um of ihf New York Lift Insurance Company DEAR SIR-I hereby acknowledge payment in full of the policy of thc New York Life Insurance Company, Ni" 40.115, for t>'n thousand dollars i?lO.000), on the fife of my deceased husband, Adam jj. Glover, insured December, 1867 and ter? minated May, 1607. In view of the questions which might have arisen in the case, I regard the settlement us an act ol noble liberality, becoming the high rank of the Company, as first in the order of establishment and assets of the Life Insurance Companies of the State of Nev. York having agencies in South t aro Ima. Its twenty-two years of successful and dis? tinguished op?ration must undoubtedly have beeu marked bj many like acts of enlarged and gene? rous conduct, to have ?on the confidence in its skill an 1 integrity, with winch the public is now ao fully inspired. So grateful is un realization of tho benefit of Lile Insurance, in my present bereaved and re? duced, from lately blessed and affluent condition, that 1 cannot forbear recommending its adoption to all in whatever circumstances. The affliction 1 have oxperienced was in no way anticipated either by my lamented husband or myself; and it is due to yon to say that it was only by your advice and per suasion that he was induced to effect the insur nuce. I believe it an institution providentially de signed for the benefit of women and children. With my best wishes for the continued useful? ness and spread ot your Company, I am, most gratefully yours, ANNIE 13. GLUVER. BU8T27JSSS NOTICES, a. n.
