LUSUB NATTJBAL-We learn from a friend in Summerville that a cow in that vicinity gave birth to two calves on New Year's Eve. At last accounts both were well and promised to be? come able representatives of the bovine family. ARRIVAL OF THE F.ILOON.-The steamer Falcon, Captain E. C. Beed, arrived at her wharf in Baltimore at an early hour yesterday morning. The Falcon was caught in the late gale, but succeeded in weathering it. Cap? tain Beed reports the weather as terrific, and the'sea-going qualities .of the Falcon were fully tested. - t T.ratBTA.-The banner "that bore a single star," which waa carried in the colored proc?s- : sion Wednesday by tho African Turners, and whi?h puzzled the uninitiated, proves to have y been the flag of the Liberian Republic. The stripes and blue Union ire typical of the United States, which fathered the new government, while the gold star may have reference to the place where "Arne's sonny fountains roll down their golden, sand." MURDEH AT SUMMEB VILLE.-It was reported in the city yesterday that a murder had been committed at Summerville on the 1st by a negro man named George Duffie, formerly in the 35th Regiment United States Colored Troops. Duffie, it is said, struck a white man named Grooms over the heal with a stick of wood, which caused his death. It was alleged that the parties had been quarrelling, and were in? toxicated. Daffie sho ved a ont on his clothes, and stated that it ma done by Grooms. No inquest had been held. "THAT LITTLE Bru .."-The first of January baa been known from time immemorial as the season for presen ;ing small accounts-un? pleasant reminders of the past year's indebted? ness. Of all tbe ills that flesh is heir to none cause a greater depression of both mind and body than the unwelcome visit of a dun, es? pecially at a timo when money itt ??rn?, cot- j ton down, and the azure demons constant companions. In evei y portion of the city col? lectors, armed with then* books and a long hst of "little bills," were seen scudding through tho streets, anxious to reach their destina? tions while their victims were at home. Though the finances of the country are at a very low ebb, the people aro bravely meeting the issue, and have reduced their expenses to the minimum. As a natural consequence the bills were quite small, and, in mest instances, were promptly paid. A NEW GAME OF E-JCHRE.-The English have made an improvement in the mode of playing this game, a description of >vhich will no doubt prove, interesting to euchre-players. For ex? ample, with every (?ck of playing cards sold there is one blank card at the top of the deck, used in this country frequently as a "marker." ' But the English make a better use of this white-faced card. I'hey include it in tho suits, making fifty-three to the deck instead of fifty- | two, and to the euohre deck twenty-nine in? stead of twenty-eight cards. This blank card j at first was oalled "Louis Napoleon," but has been subsequently corrupted into the less eu? phonious title of "yorker." The "yerker,n then, is the highest ranking card in the euchre j deck, having capacity to "capture" either of j the "bowers" or tho ace, so that a man may be euchred even with the ace and two "bowers." Whenever the "yorker" is turned up by the dealer, that pei 3on has the privilege of "mak- | ing the trump," and can make it to the most advantageous .-ait in his hand. The game is novel, and we understand affords much diver? sion to the players. THE VALUE OF A SORAP-BOOK--Every one who takes a newspaper which he in the least degree appreciates will often regret to see any one number thrown aside for waste paper whioh contains some interesting and important arti? cles. A good way lo preserve these is by tbe use of a scrap-boos. One who has never been accustomed thus to preserve short articles, can hardly estimate the pleasure it affords to sit down and turn over the pleasant, familiar pages. Here a choice piece of poetry meets the eye, which you remember you were so glad to see in the paper, but which you would long since have lost had it not been for your scrap? book. There is a witty anecdote-it doeB you good to laugh over it yet, though for the twen? tieth time. Next is a valuable recipe yon had almost forgotten, and whioh you lound just in time to save you much perplexity. There ia a sweet little story, the memory of which has cheered and encouraged you many a time, when almost ready to despair under the pres? sure of life's cares and trials. Indeed, you can hardly take up a single paper without reperus ing it. Just glance over tho shent before you, and see how many valuable items it contains that would be of service to you a hundred times in Ufe. A choice thought is far more precious than a bit of guttering gold. Hoard with care the precious gems, and see at the end of the year what A rich treasure you have accumu? lated._ HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Charleslon Holet.-H. w. Jamieson, Jr., Georgia; B. S.

GEO. 8. BRIAN PRESIDING.-In re George W. Clark & Co. vs. T. J. E. Dargan, the creditors peti? tion for involuntary bankruptcy. The petition was read by Messrs. J. C. Carpenter and W. J. Gayer, solicitors for tho petitioner, and on their motion an order of injunction was Bigned by the Judge, and a warrant to the marshal to summon the defendant Dargan to appear on the 25th January. Tue petition of J. J. Acker, of Laurens, to be'appointed a commissioner of the United States for South Carolina was presented, and ? the appointment made. C. P. Townsend presented the petitions of W. R. Graham, Jas. L. Breeden and Stephen Wallace for involuntary bankruptcy. The Judge signed an order of adjudication refer? able to B. B. Carpenter, Register for the Se? cond District. The petitions of W. R. Robertson and Thos. M. Horsey, foi voluntary bankruptcy, were read by Messrs. Macbeth & Buist, and on their motion an order of reference to R. B. Carpen? ter was signed as far as concerned Robertson. It is further ordered that the United States Marshal publish a notice to Thos. M. Horsey, requiring him to appear bernie Judge Bryan on February 3d, and prove that the copartner? ship of Horsey. Anten & Co. is not insolvent, I and why be should not be declared a bankrupt. THE NEW PHOSPHATE BEDS NEAR CHABLES TON-INTERESTING FACTS.-The discovery of the bone earth or natural phosphates in South Carolina, seems about to create quite a revolu? tion in the manufacture of fertilizers, and the Northern companies are already anxious to eoonre consignments of the precious material. Several shipments have been already made, and applications for agencies and letters ask? ing information are received daily. At present the earth is shipped in its crude state, but the company design soon to commence operations and prepare a fertilizer that will be found supe? rior to most of thoso now in use. During the past year over $o00,000 worth of fertilizers were sold in thiB city between January and May, and it is estimated that this amount will be more than doubled during the present season. Our farmers hayo become convinced of the benefit to be derived from a free use of manures, and have expended more money in the purchase of these supplies than at any former period. They are now promised a fertilizer of home manufacture, which will be supe? rior to the imported article, and which can be obtained at a far less price. A number of orders have been received by the company, who have a large force of hands employed, all of whom are white, many of them being so re? duced in circumstances ae to be compelled to support themselves and families by a kind of labor to whioh they are wholly unaccustomed. A wharf is now being built at the landing on the Ashley Biver, and vessels will then be able to load direct from the mines. The company, though but recently started, has shown that it will have no mushroom growth.. It has made preparations to supply the phosphate in unlimited quantities, and tho effect of the fresh trade thus created upon our city's prosperity will not be long in making it? self felt. THE ENTEBTAINMENT GIVEN TO THE ORPHANS IN-CHABGE OF THE S1STZB8 07 MEBOT.-The little charges of the Sisters of Mercy were yes? terday made the recipients of a feast that was doubly acceptable from the fact that it was tendered them by the scholars of the acade? my. The two rooms fronting on the piazza had been thrown open for this purpose, and two long tables m tho centre of either apart? ment wore literally covered with good things. Every delicacy that could be obtained was sup? plied unsparingly, and tho appearance of the tables would have reflected credit on expe? rienced caterers. The feast was the voluntary offering of the boarders and day scholars of the academy, and- the supplies were obtained by contributions made by them for this pur? pose. A few minutes past 2 the tinkle of a bell announced that the preparations were completed, and.the orphan girls were mar? shalled by the Sisters into the different rooms and aBBigned seats at the tables, where they were waited on by their young hosts. When the first few moments of diffidence and reserve had passed, and the good things placed before them had began to disappear, the scene was one worthy of a painter. The scholars wore blue rosettes, and the President pro tem. was distinguished by a tri-colored rosette. The Catholic olergy and a number of invited guests were present, and took great interest in the proceedings. After the dejeuner, and while the debris of tho entertainment were being re? moved, the orphans sang several pieces, the voices sounding as one, and showing that their musical education had not been neglected. A mysterious hint of tableux vivants given to tho guests served to exoite their curiosity and induced them to remain until the close of the feast. They were then invited to the school room, which had been prepared for the occa? sion and furnished with a stage, drop curtain and seats for tho an dione*. Altar n few mo? ments of anxious expectancy, during which the seats were rapidly filled, the bell sounded and the curtain rose. The first scene was entitled "a morning call in China," and was a represen? tation of the morning visits paid by the Celes? tials, and a dialogue held between a titled lady and her guests. The conversation was in French, and though unintelligible to most of the audience, it was evident that the fair ac? tresses were thoroughly au fait in the tongue and were not speaking merely by rote. The Empress received her visitors with great affa? bility, and sustained the burden of the conver? sation, evincing both an excellent memory and a thorough knowledge of 1 rench. The other parties in the dialogue sustained their different roles admirably, and while personating Celes? tials could be very easily mistaken for angels. After the dialogue, a number of scriptural tableaux were givon, each of which was admi? rably rendered. The transformations were effected rapidly, and tbe interludes were ren? dered pleasant by the singing of the orphans. The tableaux were performed in the following order: 1. Joseph being sold by his brethren. 2. Joseph interpreting Phoroah's dream. 3. Finding the oup in Benjamin's sack. 4. Joseph discovers himself to his brethren. 5. Joseph presents his lather to Pharoah. 6. David gi nug praise to God. 7. Angels crown David. 8. The Queen of the South visits Solomon. 9. She salutes Solomon and presents him treasures. 10. The Babylonish captivity. 11. Esther pleading for her people. 12. The triumph of Christianity under Con? stantine. 13. A Christmas Party. The tableaux were entirely di fib re nt in their stylo, and must have required close study, but they were all performed with great exactness. Some of the representations wore extremely beautiful, and tho actors displayed groat taste in their different poatures. There were about fifty little orphan girls pre? sent, and between seventy and eighty of the scholars. The orphans arc at present domiciled in a house on Spring-streot, near Gadsden's Green, their former Asylum being untenable. BUSINESS NOTICES. H. H.
