BtniOEED DEATH OF DETECTIVE COATES-It was currently rumored yesterday that Detective Coates had been killed somewhere in the interior of the State, whore he had gone te investigate a mur? der case. It was impossible to trace the rumor to any definite source, and we doubt it? authenticity.

The drugs were purchased by a merchant of this city, and the hospital property by the city for the public hospitals. BEAS ESTATE SALE.-Messrs.

The crew was saved. THE GBEENYTTT.E AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD COMPAST.-We are authorized to state that the an? nouncement in our issue of yesterday, that the Greenville Itouroad Company would pay interest, Ac, is not correct. The proposed payment ot six months interest in January is conditional in Its ? character, and the publication as first made is liable to mislead the public. BASE BALL.-The Alerts of this city are will? ing to pay the expenses ot the Forest City Club if they will como here, or so to Savannah on the same terms, or if these terms do not suit, they will meet the club at Beaufort or any intermediate point. The "Alerts" are warming up on Uie subject, and feel very anxious to bring the natter to a bead, and ? decide the much talked of final game-the "rubber." GENERAL HARRY MELL VILLE.-Such is a name reported by the Nashville Union and Ameri - can among the arrivals at the St. Cloud Hotel in that city, aa of a gentleman hailing Lom Charleston, . S. C. If there is any General Harry MeUville, of . Charleston, or of South Carohna, we beg his pardon. We don't know him. We rather su-peet that some sharper is humbugging the St. Cloud. ALMOST A FATAL ACCIDENT.-During: the re? cent rainy spell, while a nurse was carrying a little - child along Rutledge Avenue, opposite Mill-street, her foot slipped, and the child tell on its head on thc sidewalk. Fortunately the ground was so soft that the cb?d's head penetrated it, sinking it up to the shoulders. It was at once palled out, and suffered no other inconvenience than having its eyes, mouth, nose and cars stopped with mud until it could be washed. Wo pr?same that it is to prevent more fatal cons?quences from such accidents that the Street Inspector has neglected to put shells on the . sidewalks in that locality.

THE TIDAL DBAINB.-An observer complains as fellows: "Allow me to remonstrate through your paper against the exceedingly fi'tby practice of emptying whole reservoirs of black mud into the streets, there to remain a day or two to be tracked about by horses and carts; sometime? a quarter of a mile trom the original source. Such a practice is most offeusive to the eye and nostri's, and muse be deleterious to health. Carts might be swung lew on axle-tree B, bon'at right angles near the hub, as is done in Liverpool by tbe mercantile houses, or a solid scaffolding might be crocted three or tour foot high, on whi h to poise the present apparatus ; and thus the buckets could be emptied at once into closed carrs. Something should be done to remedy the piesent evil."

She came into the harbor yesterday afterncor.. where she will remain for a lew days, and then eon'inue her pleas? ure trip down the Gulf to New Orleans sud other points. She is eighty-two tons burthen, and of beau? tiful proportions, and modelled and built by cele? brated naval scientists. She is commanded ry Cap? tain L. L Lirillard, a brother of the ianiour tobac? conist, who is accompinie I by Messrs. H. Maitland and Louis Mescir. The Eva is a ' crack" tailer, and has borne off several fine prizes from fleet compeli tors in Northern water-. Sh u!d any ofouryachlmen like to board her they will bo courteously received. FCBMAN UNIVERSITY.- We tire glad to learn that the Furman University will be reopencJ on the first of February, the measures necessary for this end having been inaugurated by thc Board of Trus? tees at th'ir recent meeting. Rev. J. C. Furman, D. D., the accomplished aud beloved president of the institution, will be aided in the work of instruction byan able corps of professors. Professor Judson will take charge of the mathematical department, m which he has already achieved so bijh a reputation. The vacancies havo been filled by the election of two new oOicers, both from Virginia-Professor Toy in the department of Greek, and Professor Harris in thit of chemistry. The former is one of the fore? most men in the count! y in the ancient and oriental languages. Thc theological students in Greenville will, doubtless, claim the benefit of his instructions in Arabic and Sanscrit, if suitable arrangements can be made tor the performance of this double ??erviee. The latter, a brother of Professor Harris, of'he Rich? mond College, and a dhUmgci-hed graduate of thc Virginia University, has been tendered a kindred appointment in Kentucky, but has concluded to set? tle in our state. Having secured a strong ficulty, the board will vi?orouely pro6C-.uto au agency to make up the re? quisite number of bonOs. About fifty are now need? ed. Tho public will wplcame tbe assurance that the institution is about to resume its work, and io bogiu at a dt finite timo. The circumstances of oar con? dition are >-uch aa to make the maint.-nance of estab? lishments of learning, which ore not uudor State control, a matter o- considerable importance. A large proportion of our people may need to resort to them ere long, as the only available sources of edu? cation for their children. Their services, which have been valuable heretofore, will be likely to provo in? dispensable hereafter. All of them-Furman Uni? versity and Wofford a'id Erskine Colleges-aro safe? guards and guarantees which, for our childrcn'6 sake, must bc sit-fained. REPORTERS' CRUMDS.-St. Philip's Church needs an organist. Several ladies have been employed at the Citadel in tho civil department within the past two days. It very probable that the mandamus and 7113 mar? ran.''! will not be heard on Sa urday, the 19th, be? fore thc MiDreinc Cou t in Columbia, but will bo postponed until a later day. During the lute, cold spell, the face of a clock ui the establishment of Messrs. AV. G. Whildeu A Co., cor? ner of King and Beaufaiu streets, was so contracted by the cold that tho figure V was split off. A pair of nimble fingers managed to carry off somo small articles from two King-3trccl stores yes? terday. The City Sheriff has made a return of unsatUficl executions in his oflico for tbe years IS."'.) to ISCA amouuting to S765 5?. and for the years 18G6 to 18C8 amouuting to SGTtH 81. The Harbormaster collecte J from November 10 to December ll. $430 9C. Noone bas a right, un 1er municipil law, to sell on tba streets without a license, and yet it is persist? ed in by poultry venders, who invariably get arrest? ed and fined. Lost nijbt, at tho corner of Market and Meeting streets, the man with tho medicine that cures "all ills that flesh is heir to," held forth, under tho light of flaring lamps, to a gaping crowd of dark skins, who seemed to drink in every syllable uttered os though it was Gospel. Harper, Wilson A Co., a "gilt enterprise eslablish mcnt in Now York, his been swindling a number ot credulous porsons in Charleston, There was an amusing pig chase ic Droud-streot yesterday, which brought a smile on the face of staid gentlemen, and ?oars of laughter from by? standers generally. Various efforts were made to head him off and check his course, but all ol no avail, until he got caught in the wheels of a passing buggy, when tho crowd thought they had bim in "limbo," but he broke again, and dashed up Meet? ing-street, leaving his parsu'.re far behind. THE FAIR AT THE WIDOWS' HOME.-Last eve? ning was not favorable to a successful opening of this elegant entertainment, and yet it waa not forgotten by those who feel an interest in the sacred cause in behalf of which it has been inaugurated. ih:."'nr is dee'dedly the best one the Home hus given yet, and in the general and special getting up is a decided SUCCOUR. The ladies who decorated tho room havo displayed that refined tasto characteristic of the sex. Delighting strains ?ail upo 1 the ear as one enters thc fairy-like scene. Ihc cool and delicious bever? age of "Jacob's Well" is the fi:st attraction. The mun room is cire'ed with tables laboring nu? der a multitude of rare articles. 'Tho fish of for? tune, for a mere long, gives at los: a pcuny's worth. To tho right ol the inhabitant of tan deep are three et'igiers, ou whi -h are appropriately dis? played handsome afghans, dahlia tidies, a wax cactus, and Miss Virginia Lee, a Uno doll and her complete wardrobe-soratogi trink, toilet set, dressing case. Ac. She valued at S-10?, and is to be raffled. There are also a number of small doUs-ono a "Calais shrimper," and another Ashby Baker, of Baltimore, Md.; a pair ofVASni rcp reoentinj the Eeasoas; also tho head of Christ, by Miss Boles, of this city, and a fine gold bracc'ot. There is also lace and some tinoappliqns embroider? ed work for book shelves, from a lady Jricud lu Germany. A "Lady ol Fa-Uiou," from a lady lu Now Orlcaus. The doll and iltja Virginia Loe'd wardrobe is from a lady in New York.

The Southern Boya' Educational Society table is tastily arning d ano adorned. Tho Rowir of Tiuits and Flowus, and the oil wo? man in the shoe, represented by a girlish-faec boy, arc striking features of the display. The Restaurant is rep'.Me with a ibstantials, aud offers inviting dishes to tho lover of good thing*. Imperfectly have the fa'r and its surroundings been pictnrod, but from this e lough can bc ?loaned to show that it is really worth a visit.
