Aa the bank is in li < quidation, no chango 'waa:' considered necea .sary. .' " Tma?<to. BONHCTS.-The present minute .. style of bonnets has afforded scope for an eco? nomical invention in Paris. A new. bonnet is . now offered for three sous, equivalent to three .: cents. It is composed of thin, pliable strips of: wood, reticulated like a net. The in te rs tic s : are filled with very narrow - ribbon.' Of course . the trimming? are on extra expense, and at the option of tba wearer, tr* ? . ? .. TncBOD.-We Bee. that Dr. J. Dickson Bruns, formerly of this city, last week lectured before a li terary society in Now Crleans^on the Poetry OfTirorocb The New Orleans Times speaks of . Dr. Bruns' "as an intimate friend of Timrod, . thoroughly famitiar with all the beautiful traits . of his character and genius, aa.well aa.With the scenes which woke the spul of the now dead ,^Qet into sweetest song:" ' ALMOST A Bow-A FTNGXB OF?.-Among the arrests made at the guardhouso last night-was - one of a white roan who, full of fun. and bad liquor, had flourished a scythe-blade around . Horlbeck's AUey/aad succeeded in amputating - a finger from the hand of a colored man, who .> was Striving to stop his demonstrations. He - was accommodated with, dose quarters, and . will answer the charge tm's morning. BEEAKTSQ GSOUSD.-For the past fewflays - workmen have been engaged in excavating tile i lot at the corner of Cumberland and meeting . streets, where the new Masonic Hall ia to be i erected. Before the fire, Werner's building, . which occupied the site, had a deep and exten sive cellar or basement, but this was filled np . with tho debris, and. its removal is now a > matter of necessity. The rubbish removed :; from the lot is used by the city to nil up low i places in the streets and m the burnt district. f ? . CiXAirxsp THE DEATHS.-This necessary work j . is always progressing in some portion of the ? city, and the drains receive a thorough cleans? ing at.regular intervals. In Calhoun-street a ? change has been made in tho windlass, and the .". bucket of mud is dumped into a lone, trough, - which is elevated to th e same level with the mud . carts. These drive upand^carry off their loads , - without soiling the streets, and the passers are i not offended'with; the sight of huge piles of j - drain mud which heretofore surrounded every j /manhole. ?_ ?Low BATES ros BUMMER TRAVEL,-Wo have ie pleasure of announ cing th at the Greenville . and Columhia Bailroad Company are issuing -, family and business tickets of 1000 miles each - at m. The.

We Ti have already noticed the .fact that the South . Carolina Railroad Company issue businosa tick . eta far 1000 miles at $25. "WHAT rn Ix ?''-We have been favored with . a'sight of the new "figure-head" of the Ella ..Anna, a fine yacht soon, to be launched by Messrs. Marsh A Bro. At a first glance the - wooden carving appears to be a representation - of the sea serpent, but minke that far-famed snake this monstrosity rejoiced in .the posses? sion of two tails and a villainous looking fron? tispiece, which bore a faint resemblance to the . great guyascutis. : The Ella Anna is nearly . completed, and as soon as the ornamental - work is finished she will be ready to "walk the ? waters like a thing of life." A REPUBLICAN- MASS MEETING was held last night at the Clubhouse, in Meeting-street. The hall was densely crowded with colored Re? publicans, only a few whites being present. Peter Mt nar was called to the chair by an .almost unanimous vote, and prot eeded to bad , the Republican party and exhort all'members to stand by the nominees. The object of the meeting was to enkindle a blaze of enthusiasm for the nominees for the comity, and to strengthen the backbones of the weak and re? creant. There were several speakers, but the 'crowd was so compact that it was impossible to come within hearing distance, or to obtain more than a bird's-eye view of the dark* .-scenery. '_ THE LUMBER TRADE OF CHABXXSTOK.-We are pleased to note that, notwithstanding the general depression , in business, tho lamber trade .i?^;Bt?^aa|?ve,?nd; eWpmentsare being . m ade.to foreign and coastwise ports. The su? periority of tbe Southern, pine.for building purposes has'rendered it a prominent article of export, -. and cargoes of either timber or sawed lamber are readily engaged. The steam saw mills at the foot of Bean >in-srreet, ran , by Mr. J. H. Steinm ey er, 'have been recently putin thorough repair, and he is prepared to resume business on an extended scale. As proving the importance of the lojnher trade, we note the .following shipments which were made from these mills during the past few weeks : The brig' Manzanilla; from P^ckport, Maine, came to this city, consigned to Messrs. Olney A Co. Her cargo of lime rock was soon dischargeo^ii^ a return freight'pf sawed lumber, which will be returned to this port in the shape of a fine vessel^ capable of carrying cotton to .Liverpool.- Thf?chooner Wanella also took a full cargo of lumber to New Haven, and the brig George a similar freight to a port m Cuba. These are but three of many similar shipmente, and though the trade bears no comparison-with that of times past, it-is slowly bat 8t?ao!iJyincreasiEg. I THE CHARITY FAIR. A BRILLIANT AND COMPLETE SUCCESS. THE COUP D'OIL Di THE HALL. THE SEVERAL TABLES AND THEIR DECORA? TIONS. A WTLDEENESS OF BEAUTY, BAFFLES AND GBAB BAGS. ?WILL YOU TAKE A CHANCE ?" Pursuant to. the notice that "the ladies of the several Catholic congregations of Charles? ton have combined for the purpose of holding a Fair," Hibernian Hall waa last evening thrown open to a large, brilliant and fashion? able gathering. The object of the Fair is to aid the female orphans ander the charge of the Sisters of j Mercy, in Queen-street, the male orphans un- j der the charge of the Sisters of Mercy in Can? non-street, and in aid of the Ursuline Convent in Columbia. To achieve this noble pur-1 pose and ensure the largest success, months of preparation have been given. Through correspondence with kindred societies, church organizations, and personal friends in varions parts of the United States, from St. Louis to New Orleans, and from New York tb Washington, the fair bands of ladies in all sections of the country have worked in? defatigably in the fabrication ot) the beautiful articles which form the attractions of the oc? casion, -Not merely the- ladies, but bishops, merchants, lawyers, priests, as well as public men and shririkiDg, delicate women, have lent their best efforts to accomplish a happy result; so that the Fair ia really a representative, to a very considerable extent, of that spirit of be? nevolence and charity which so largely char? acterizes the Catholic world. The management was assigned to a commit? tee af gentlemen, of whom Mr. John F. O'Neill acted as chairman, John B. Lafitte as secreta? ry, and M. W. St. Arnaud as treasurer. Sub? committees were appointed on finance, deco? rations, raffles, music, and for other purposes, and from the first beginning of the undertak? ing it was directed upon a well considered and j well organize i plan of operations. The most perfect system has marked every step in the progress of the preparations. . In ali Fairs the first attraction ia of course the beauty pf their decorations, and thoso who ware present -last evening must have been struct by tba remarkable contrast be? tween .the, tasteful/ symmetrical and pictu resqe embellishments and those which are usually thrown helter-skelter together when a Fair is on the carpet, and are expected to form of their own sweet accord a graceful and har? monious whole. This remarkable feature of the present Fair is' due to the Committee of Arrangements, acting in consultation with Mr. C. Werner, the Tubal Cain of Charleston, who caused to be prepared-a-series of beautiful scrolls of iron representing at the summit a Gothic crc?s, below which is a large heart, encircled and supported by additional wreaths of metal. These were covered with evergreens and flowers; but so,adroitly ar? ranged as to present an entirely different and brilliant appearance over each table, although the. general outline was the same. Some of. j them were made tc gleam as if Bet with bril? liants, the gas light playing upon the baubles refracted , at a thousand angles, creating a grand kalei("osearlo Rumination like BO many gigantic- -?amoitus, in a setting of emerald green. Others bad, no'ornament but the pale green and the pallid, rose; one other at least was thickly studded with * golden p?latted lilies, which, waved their lovely shapes above the lovelier forms that flitted fairy like around the tables. The scrolls of Sowers to which we have referred, fourteen in number, rested like huge crowns upon a corresponding number of tables which occu? pied both sides of the hall Two of these tables nrere appropriated to the purposes of refresh? ment, audit is needless to say that they were the loitering place daring the evening of many a fond and hungry couple, who mingled senti? ment and stewed oysters, passion and pates, poetry and pigs' feet, in delicious alternation. These tables were a favorite place. Thestage was occupied by the Pc ..i Band, which from seven to eleven treated the au? dience to a selection of their finest airs. Im? mediately in front of the stage was a square enclosure, which had been very sensibly re? served for the use of a committee of gentle? men to whom was assigned the superintend? ence of all raffles. It is known to all Fair-goers that few raffles take place without dissatisfying somebody who may not be present at the mo? ment: but the arrangements made in the pre? sent instance are such as to preclude everything Uko misapprehension, confusion or mistake. T?e raffle lists, as filled at the different tables, are handed to "this committee, to whom is also given the prizes to be disposed of. From this time the whole matter rests with them. They aro alone responsible for the safe delivery of j the articles won to the person who wins them, or his accredited representative. A most ex? cellent plan. In front of this enclosure a stand was erect? ed, on which rests a very beautiful marble soda fountain, and as the 'temperature during the evening was at an African stand-point, crowds of ladies and their partners indulged in reci? procal i colings-off, as they buried their pro bosces in tbe healthy effervescence of the glass. It was, emphatically, "Soda, soda, everywhere, And nothing else to drink 1" Nay! we correct ourselves. There was a Jacob's Well-a well, too, that made the mod? ern Jacobs, who drank from its depths, hesi? tate whether to bestow their admiration apon the blonde divinity who presided over its bid? den sweets or apon the gorgeous concoction Which, like troth, lay at its bottom. THE TABLES. Although the tables represented the untiring labors of the congregations of the different Catholic ohurches in the city, a particular table could not be assigned to each church by same, and the tables will therefore be described seriatim-table No. 1 being the first on the right of the main entrance, and table No. 14 the first on the left. We will suppose the reader to be at the door. Turning, as he enters, to the right, bis eye will be attracted by a very handsome table (No. 1), fairly loaded down with toys, china ornaments, purses, dolls, vases, and every variety of curiosity calculated to delight the innocent tastes of childhood and gratify the ^desires of those of mature age. These are: disposed of after the manner of a "Gift Enterprise," i? e., "y?upayB your money and; you takeB your choice"-of envelopes, each envelope costing but twenty-five cents, and calling for a prize which may, in the lan? guage of the advertisements, be anything, from an india rubber boy baby to a brick house. Prominent on this table is a fine life size colored photograph of the Rev. Father Shaflte, which will be raffled at fifty cents a chance. Tbe portrait is au admirable"one, and Will be a valued prize to the lucky' win oar. At the aide of this table and per? tain inp to lt is a mammoth stove pf the-"Mutual Friend" pattern, the gift of Messrs. Cameron & Barkley, of Meeting-stroet. We can fancy that some of our readers will utter their astonishment at the presence of J this domestic masterpiece in a Fair; but it is really one of the most valuable, attractive and useful among all the institutions that have been made. It would please the hon because aho could s tew a four weeks' w in one of its stupendous boilers; it woi light the gourmand, because in it he cai anything, from a reed bird to a bull; would tickle a Feegee Islander almost tc on account of its capacious advantages : king "MisMonary"'secwidem artem. Table No. 2 is under the same admi Mon as that just noticed. A series of arranged among the flowers and even cause the word "St. Patrick's" to shine 1 arch of multi-colored fire. In tho cen the upper portion of the table is a m doll, which, in common with all the othe: ! in the Fair, is warranted a first-class spe j of a woman in miniature. Then comes ' lection of bridal cushions, embroidery, trimmings, kerchiefs, baby olothea, te i and sofa cushions. There is also a hanc set of castors, and a lamp which will ni "smell nor explode." A huge steeple for whioh there might well be a si chase, divides the honors with a story house replete with all the uBual ; ture and fixings, not omitting the irrep ble baby. There is also an ingenious me ical toy representing a fond young m nursing her child, a very beautiful am quant spectacle. Crowning all, and 01 the gems of the table, is a picture of the donna, embroidered by a young Charil lady. We must not omit to mention among the articles to be raffled at this tal a very elegant flexible gold bracelet, to wh pleasing incident is attached. The fair o was called upon to contribute something ti good canse. Like others she had been ru: but like others still retained an unbroken E and a charity that no time or ill fortune c dull. Having nothing else left to give, ant poor to contribute a sum of money that sh correspond with her own generous impu sho unclasped from her arm this rich old mento of the past, which may now be dest to pass into the hands of a stranger, or, haps, be lost forever in the merciless ern; of the jeweller. The next table (No. 3) is a beauty. It perfect cascade of commodities. Bich, i and racy are some of its articles. Paris < tributes largely, and of curiosities which -certainly attract any one who will take trouble to glance over the array. In the ce: is a very fine painted photograph of Pope I IX There is also a large fire-screen of vron woik. The inevitable doll likewise looms u pretty proportions. This is very French, be supplied with miniature gloves, parasol, ; eye-glass and palpitators. It's a wondr baby of its kind, and makes a man's heart as soft as a bar of soap. We must not neg to speak of a most elaborately embroide opera cloak, one of the most attractive tre ores in the hall. There is a very handsc set ot plated ware, and more miscellanea riohes than a ton of words could describe. In the centre of table.No. 4 is a life-like p trait of Bishop Lynch, a picture of Christ t his disciples, brought from Europe by Bisl Lynch, a handsome set of china, which it be voted for and given to whichever of the t orphan asylums receives the largest numbei ballots. The peculiarity connected with I embroidery upon this table is that the wc was done by a number of virginia ladies, w had been aided daring the war by the Sis ti of Mercy, and desired to give them in rete an evidence of their gratitude. The skill w which this labor ot love has been perform evinces the fine taste and gentle breeding the noble-hearted bat unfortunate donors. On table No. 5 the array of articles is pi tionlarly attractive. A large Donai Bib handsomely bound, a mouchoir case, pin cns ions, a miniature bed, a toilet set, baskets fruit, big cakes, children's clothing, and : sorta of millinery doings, are among the ar oles too numerous to mention. No. 6 looks gay and festive, and sprinkled all over with beauty. One scare ly knows whether to admire the love taste of the ladies who adorned these tabli or the multitude of pretty things with whic it ia provided. A man could spend hundred of dollars for the numerous wants of wife ai child, and find a useful spot in his house ft every article purchased. There is a gran chenille picture; a handsome French clock; a enormous "swan" cake; a fine picture in pat tel; an elaborate stool cover; a "George Wasl ington" pen wiper, representing Jorge at fa length, with a pair of coat tails that would al sorb at least a quart of ink; baskets and art oles of dress; pin cashions and washstands; tasteful work table made by Mr. Babbage, an a conglomeration of things in general. Tables Nos. 7 and 8. Ah, reader, here wa the place to make happiness crawl all ove yon, especially if you had by your side one c the sublunary phantoms of the evening. Th tables were decorated with flowers, well am courteously attended, and made one wish him self a knife and fork, with nothing bat a bottl Of mustard to keep him company. Before continuing the left side of the hal we ought not to omit mention of the "tele graph," which will be in operation to-day. TM is bena fide lightning, brought down for tin especial occasion by Mr. David O'Keefe, who electrically speaking, is one of the mos shocking men in town. For the small sum o twenty-five cents any fond lover in the roon can senda message to his sweetheart in th? other corner, and prostrate himself metaphori cally and matrimonially at her feet. It is t great institution. Nor most be forgotten the marble bast o "Innocence," by afam?os Roman-sculptor, which occupies a conspicuous place on the stage, and is a gem in conception and execu? tion. At table No. 9 there is a beautiful photo? graph, handsomely framed, of the famous American lawyer, Charles O'Conor, of New York. This photograph, made by Brady, is, it is understood, the only one for which Mr. O'Conor has ever consented to Bit. It is, there? fore, rare. It is not only a fine picture, but con? sidered admirable aa a portrait. Its excellence, as picture and portrait, is so wall known and acknowledged, that it has been applied for by several societies, which failed to ob? tain any copies. They have all been refused, and tho preference has been given to Charleston of securing the original. It will be raffled, and fortunate, indeed, will be the party who shall succeed in winning it. The picture is a fine oval, of the largest style of photographs. In addition to this there are fine large photographs- of Bishop Magill, of Bichmond,and the Bey. Dr. Cummings, of New York. The three pictures were presented by Mr. Rice, of New York cityJ There is> superb silver butter dish from New York; a sec of Bul wer's poems; music books and babies' dresses; embroidered robes and sweet dolls; toilet orna? ments and an oil painting; constituting all to? gether a most tantalizing exhibition. No. 10 is an eye-open er. Most of the articles are presents from friends in Baltimore, Phila? delphia, Washington and New York. Among them we recall the memory of an exquisitely carved pipe, which is to be raffled, a handsome dressing gown, and six delicately-made shirts; a fine set of china, and a large assortment of silverware, including vases, ewers, salvers and goblets; a magnificent cape, stole and banodic-, tion veil, m white and gold; a miniature bed? stead with fittings and curtains complete; feather chairs, scent cases, dolls, perfumes, sweetmeats, forming a rare collection on which the visitor may feast his imagination and starve his pocket-book. Table No. ll is the resting-place of a variety of articles which it would require a dicta? full of adjectives to describe. Among axe handsome dressing gowns: an opera i which has no equal; a very beautiful work t elaborate dolls; embroidered infant he-XL mouchoir cases; a tete-a-tete set; and an L table cake, which contains a diamond rii great value, to which any one is welcome can find it. This is also the abiding plai Jacob's Well, where ia produced for ac compensation a pleasing fluid of beautiful which is walled in by a circular shrine of g furnished with atxipa of oranges, lemons other rich fruits, and on ordinary occasioi gracefully imbibed through a straw. No. 12. A handsome picture of the Mado a model in wood of St. Paul's Church; art painting; books, cakes, fancy articles, and all a scroll of blue ribbon emblazoned with name of St. Paul's. These make up the e but by no means all the attractions which fnsely adorn this table. No. 13. There is a winning picture of Grand Mogul and his "Frau;" a finely embi ered chair; several candelabra and seta of na; a velvet rug, worsted work, lota of cai acores of glass ornaments, and bushels off ty things. The most striking table in the room ia 14, the last on the hat, and the first on the as the hall ia entered. Thia is par exceUen representative of the' Fire Department Charleston, and Father Shadier well desei the praise lavished for tho admirable taste played in its unique design and arrangerai Everywhere there peeped out amid the p green tracery of the back ground some emb illustrative of the noble organization of wk our citizens are so proud. Here were handsome silver lanterns of the Hook and L der Companies, of the Pioneer, Phoenix 1 America Companies, all gleaming with lig two golden eagles spreading their winga ( longing to the German Fire Compan -V; I polished red buckets from the Hook anti L der, and a pair of brightly burnished pi; and nozzles belonging to the .Etnas. H also were guidons, banners, and the name: all the companies tastefully displayed. Ov head was the doll fireman brought from ' varmah by thc Vigilants, and beneath v written the legend : "The fireman's offering to the Orphans." There was likewise a painting representint fireman rescuing a child from the flames, a the "Swamp Fox" of tho Marions. The abc articles were disposed around the scroll wo: and upon the table was the "offering" its? consisting of the silver trumpet, spanner, fi man's hat and boots, which are to be voted I by the several companies and their friem Much rivalry ia said to exist among the orga zationa for the possession of these articles, a the interest taken by members has been ci ditable and generous. The coat of each bal ia fifty cents, and the company voting t largest number will be the recipient oft prize. The table is under the charge of a comm tee of gentlemen, and Ls directly superintend by Mr. Charles P. Aunar, one of the Assista Chiefs. THE TOUT V.MHKMfyr.P. After passing through the gatea of the e closure, under the arch of the gas lamps upi which is the inscription "Orphans' Fair;" aft traversing the corridor, ascending the broi staircase, and reaching the main entrance the hall, a scene last night burst up? the view which was so imposing, 1 changing, so brilliant, and so inspiriting as defy all adequate description. There we: groups of beautiful girls around the varioi tables; there were gentlemen and ladies strn ting up and down the hall; there were scon of invitations to take a chance at everythir mentionable, from a toilet stand to a pris cake; there was the radiance of tl numerous chandeliers, and the glitter 1 the objects expoaed for sale ; thei were the stirring strains of the band, and th ripple of merry voices; there waa the ringin of the raffle bell; there waa smiling, joking jesting, and all that happiness which grows ot of innocent enjoyment, and the cons douanes of a good deed well done-all forming tba wondrous combination of jest and earnest lightness of hiart and purity of purpose glamour, beauty and fascination, known no1 as the Catholic Charity Fair.

Jervey.Pbillip Thorne, James Vidal, John Chorion, Washington Smith, T. Hamlin, C. Fogartie, John Binns, S. H. Mortimer. The case of the State va. Isaac Mitchell (colored), for bigamy, was taken up; Messrs. R. W. Seymour and B. S. Duryea appearing for the defence. As the trial was not commenced before one o'clock, only the testimony waa heard, when the court adjourned. The argu? ments will be delivered to-day. From the evi? dence given ou the stand it appeals that Isaac Mitchell, the defendant, had lived with Betsy Campbell for twenty years and bad thirteen children by her. The war caused a separation, as both belonged to different owners. Isaac, however, consoled himself with Lavinia Mitch? ell, who persuaded him after the emancipation to be lawfully married, and the rite was per? formed on the 13th of August, 1866. Having returned to the city, Isaac met his first love, and his affection returning, he left Lavinia and was legally married to Belay on the 21at of November, 1866. He now became the bone of contention, being married muchly, and Lavinia oarried her griefs to the bosom of the Freed? men's Bureau, which institution decided that tbe faithless Isaac must be tried for bigamy. Thia is one of those curious cases that have arisen since the war, in which the parties have apparently offended the laws innocently. Aa the lawyers engaged for the defence are both able jurista, their arguments will no doubt te listened to with interest.
