What to Buy and Where to Get lt. The streets ave beginning to look like -'Jhrist nns-like Christmas, we mean, as it used to be in Charleston in the good old times "before the war." The windows on King-street are fairly ablaze with brightness; every tradesman has put forth his choicest and newest goods, to attract everybody else to buy bis wares, and give them away for the sake of love aud Chtistinas. The endless panorama of these shops is a refreahing picture to look at Then there are crowds of . xtra peeple-most of them loaded down with bundles which at other limes they might be ashamed to carry-flooding tho streets just now to overflowing. They have a great number of "young folks" to think about, and to provide presents for against the day ol presents. The shops never were 6o busy; for the mothers, and sisters, and aunts, the fathers, and brothers, and uncles of the little ones do constan t'y ko?p going in and out of these places to buy things, and have them ready when Santa Chus comes to fill the expectant stecki ngs which "bub" or "Missey" has hung over the foot of the bedstead or against the hearth, hop? ing lo catch a "big haul" of nice things. We walk? ed dbwnjLing-sbeet.yesterday, on purpose to see how Christmas was getting on; and we can tell the boys that he is getbifg on ' pretty well, thank yon !" He begins to leek as jolly as a fallow can very well lcok before he is horn, and that is saying a good deal, isn't it ? His round, red, laughing face makes every t ody glad, and although ho basa) bald pate and Ray hairs on the top ot his poll, his eyes have in them tko freshness of a dewy morning in May, and his heart sings inside of him like a nest ot thrushes and blackbirds.' Cm every side we see signs of preparation for bis c outing. ChriBlmas trees are in demand, and pine a ap ling s and myrtle bushes aro about to groan under trait such as they have .not borne for years. In every stall of the market there is a little forest of these delightful trees, io cheer the eyes and bring bright jicures of old Christmas tintes to the front of th? memory. 1 he friends ol our young lolks crowd these places, as they do all others where there ia any nice' i resent to be bought for them. Ses 1 t here rs a jolly, pater familias who has just bought a great tne taller than he is himself! And what hap p y feces he makes over it !- thinking of the pleasure ii will give his brave little boys and girls, and all their young friends, when it comos to be set in its drawing-room bed, and made to grow figs, and sweetmeats, and bonbons, and apples, and pears,and oranges 1 But to return to the stores. To comfort the inner man with dainty food and generous wines and liquors is one of the Indispensable customs ot Christ? mas ti mes. It would hardly be accorded a proper keeping of Christmas without egg-nogg. and punch, and wines, and mince pies, and nice things general? ly. Housekeepers who want to make preparations for the hol'days, and to be sure of getnng puro b rands of all tbey buy, should drop In at the well knotra store of Klinck, Wickenberg k Co., corner of -Broad and Church streets. Its long established and well-diserved reputation will be un ample guarantee for the excellence of tho goods and fairness in prie There will be lound brandies of the most ap; roved brands and purest qua*ty ; whiskey of every age and flavor, irom "the milk of Kentucky" to the "moun? tain dew" of Pennsylvania ; Scotch and Irish whiskey that wou-d fill with delight sny well-bred (cit; J i malea and St. Croix rum, that give a delicious flavor to every Christmas potab'e compound, and gin whose flavcr and purity would revivo the inspi? ration of Byion, and set a Hollander to dreaming of the Fatherland. There are alto wine3 of every de? scription, abu and sparkling native and imported; and London, and Edinburgh, and Lublin ale and por? ter; cigars upon which thc customhouse brand at tests their genii?Eenes;; and, besides, ail tho fine groceries, preserves, pickles, sauces, and nioknaclcs that are o ssen?al to a completely appointed larder. Boots and shoes of the most elegant and fashiona? ble sty'es, tither for the street or the drawing room, for tho Christmas frolic or tho Christmas ball, are made by J. Steiber, No. 41 Droad-str. et. I Cheap toys, cheap hats, cheap laney goods, and a variety of other i hines, all remarkably cheap, and all suitable for Christmas, may be had at Archer's Ba? zaar, King-street, near Oeorgo, a tact so well known that the Bazaar is tbrcnged daily by people in search of good bargains. Gentlemen's and bojs' bats for business and dress, and sn pcrb furs tor ladies, always on hand at C. H. Johnson's, No. 269 King-street, opposite Hasel. The recent ?void snap" Is a reminder that?ood, comfortable clothing is a ne cossiry, and the approach? ing season for parties sxig-gaots the faintly prepara? tion of suitable full dress costumes. There ore hun? dreds to whom, just now, the most acceptable Christ, mas gift would be a h ndsome mit or a comfortable overcoat. All the.-e wants ian be suppliod by Wm. Matthi caren, the great King-street clothier, whose , large and handsome store at the corner of Went worth-etreet has already come to bo regarded as the headquarters of fashion. His stock is so large and well assorted that one caa, at a moment's notice, be fitted as precisely as by the art of thc Linet skilful tailor. For the accommodation, however, of those who prefer it, every ai tide appertaining to a gentle? man's wardrobe la made to order at this establish? ment in the latest style and on the shortest notice. Of course, aB will appear in holiday attire Christ? mas and New Tear's day, and a neat-fitting boot or shoe ls Indispensable to a complete toilet. Steiner's, on Broad-street; is the place to get'ehod in style. There ia hardly any one cf any oge, sex or condi? tion, from infancy to senility, to whom a book ol some description would not be tm appropriate and acceptable Christmas gift. For thc juve: iles there are gaily "illustrated primers and storybooks; for the romantic, novels and poems; for the sedate, bis tories and philosophical works; for th? pious, prayer-books and B bles, and for the advanced in years the publications in largo t? pe, printed espe? cially for their convenience and delectation; for thoa', who cannot appreciate book?, there are albums and fancy articles of every conceivable description, and suited to all tastes. Eveiy want of this sort can be promptly suppUel at Fogartie's new book de? posit ory, in the bend of Kieg-stteet. In the line of delicious French confectionery and candies, Soubeyroux's store in King-street, oppo? site Liberty, has long enjeyed a solid and deserved popularity. The stockings; of the little ones can be filled there to advantago. For turkeys, ducks, grouse, and other poultry and game, we commend our readers to Mr. Thomas Murphy, No. 81 Market-abeet, Mince pies (not made of mice meat as a-venerable neighbor has wickedly suggested) form the great staple luxury ol tba Christmas season. Down town, they can be hid at the excellent East Bay bakery of Buckbeit Dromore; also at the eating saloon of ourneiHhboi Litschgi. Our up-town friends can be supplied by Th eus, the woll known Wentworth sireet pastry cook. But the good things of tho holidays can not well be enjoyed units* beside a glowing fireside. So lay in a supply of good coal in time, which can bo had ol either of Ibo East Bay coal dealers, p. p. Seignious or John S. Horlbeck. BtraoLAits C.\PTC2ED.-Nifrbt before last tho establishment of Mr. Wm. Marscher, No. 78 East Pay, was burglariously entered from the roar, by prizing open tho door and knocking down tb; bar. A quantity of coffee, tobacco, bacon, pickle?, ko., was carried off. Tho next morning information of the robbery was lodged at tho D.tectivo offi c, and the case pnt in thc hands cf offlccis Coates and Chapman. A couple of hours alter they teamed the particulars, they captured Ned Hill alias Rebel General and Tom Williams, who con? fessed tho desJ and implicated a white man by the name of Dodrlck S-hnackenberg, who keeps a grocery at the no> thea*: corner of Church and Cholmers streets. Tho entire stolen property was found in bia store and recovered. He had destroyed the bacs and the tobacco boxes, and all matter by which the gooJs coald be identified ; bat notwith? standing that, his complicity was established be? yond doubt, and he with the principals has boen loci od up. These same burglars havo perpetrated several daring robberies ot lato, and until this detection have escaped capture.
