The bill had been carefully prepared, and the amcunto to be paid the severai.componies agreed upon, in a joint conference between the Special Com : rcittee of Council on.. the Fire Department and the Board of Fir musters. Notwith- j v standing . this: fact, when.: the bill came ' np, there was 'considerable filibustering, .and several. Aldermen -voted inconsistently -with ?ieir aotam -j; in " the committee meeting.. There was as evident desire on the - part of some mombers' to reduce the amounts to the lowest .figure,.and Chief .Nathans was -called upon to express his views. He gave a - comparative statement of the annual expense - of the fire departments of different cities, and .-showed that though Charleston had more en, ginee, the expense was lighter, and tue new bil! would reduce this still lower. Three thoua . and dollars was agreed upon aa the pay of the steamers, and $1800 for the hand engines, though not without a determined attempt to reduce both amounts. Fifteen huudred dollars -wasthe sum assigned for hook and ladder ?companies, but the economist mustered votes - enough to reduce this to $1200. Though it would appear at first sight that the hook and ladder companies have no expense, yet they -are subjected to the sams wear and tear and - -casualties aa fhn other companies. Their lad? ders and hooks are frequently burnt and br ok CD, and require to be replaced. This oc? curred st S recent uro on East Bay, ?hen the longest' ladder was destroyed.

CH?BL?TTE, N. e., Augast 10,1868. Dear Sir: Inreplyiag.fo youTfavorof the 8th instant, making- inquiries" in reference to the character of Dr. J. L. Neagle, I will state such facts as I know of. my own personal knowledge, in as brief and concise a manner as possible, i . In. 185-1, J. L. Neagle with.several other young men, (including myself,) boarded with H. S. Ph a rr, Esq., near Harrisburg Depot, ?abarras County, North Carolina, and went to school to Mr. 8. Lindsley. 'Neagle was a ben? eficiary of Concord Presbytery, and was being educated for a minister. The first three or .bur mouths his deportment was excellent, he prayed regularly every, morning and evening, iud" observed strictly every Sabbath. In fact, ois great object seemed to be to do the will of Sim, who said, "Thou shalt not steal." After the time referred to, pocket-books, noney, Ac., began to disappear. Neagle pro? cessed to lose money. Our landlord suspected Neagle, but no one of the boarders did. One norning after this, fdr. H. 8. Pharr and wife {tatted for Concord, about the same time we itarted for school. Neagle said that he was nek and remained at home. When we returned rom school we found that Neagle had robbed l?verai of the boarder's trunks and left for mts unknown. He did not take bis trunk Vi th him, but left nothing of value in it. Some lime after this, on returning from school, we vere surprised to find that our landlord had beagle in duress. Neagle had returned to get us trunk, and our landlord fortunately being it home, persuaded him to remain until we re? turned from school. During the evening, J. L. beagle confessed, voluntarily, in the presence )f Messrs. H. S. Pharr, W. W. Alexander, J. S. Davidson, William Davidson and myself, that ie- committed all the thefts charged against urn, demurring only to the charge of William Davidson-stating that it was not five dollars ind eighty cents that be took from him, but ire dollars and seoeniy-fioe cents. Neagle begged us not to expose him, pro? mising ?bat he would replace the clothing and .efuad the money as soon as he arrived in Charlotte. He said that he had credit at Fill? ing & TownIyrs olnthjng .?tore, and had a rehv ive in Charlotte from whom ho could get the noney. After consultation, we decided to ac sept ?eagle's proposition, and J. S. Davidson md myself were selested to esco:t bim to charlotte. On the next day we" took the train 'or Charlotte. Neagle appeared to bo SD m >r ifled that we did not guard him closely. He succeeded in making his.escape from us, and I lever heard of bim again until the fall of 1865. its history, since thal time, I suppose you are amiiiar with. Very respectfully, S, B. ALEXANDER.

Every day, every hour, every moment, the flesh, the cartilage, bone and muscle of the frame are wasling away, and being impercepti? bly replaced by new material. Health depends upon the nature- of that material, and whether it shall be pure or diseased, full pf vitality and elasticity, or feeblo and flaccid, depends mainly upon the action of the stomach, In warm weather the waste of the system is very rapid, and if lt is not as rapidly re? paired by the great sustaining organ, the conse? quence is debility, emaciation and decay. It ls, therefore, of piramount importance thal the stom? ach be kept in a vigorous condition at this trying sea? son, and the safest, surest and best tonic that can be em loved for tba', purposo is HO.^TETI ER'S BITTERS.
