DUST AND BAIN.-There was a slight fall of rain yesterday, which laid the dust in the streets, much to tho joy of those wbo have had to encounter its blinding clouds. Considerable rain is yot wanted to fill the cisterns, which are generally empty. FIREMAN'S FAIR.-Tho ladies of Sumter in? tend giving a fair about tho Sd of May for the benefit of tho fire department of that town, which has just been thoroughly organized, and which has purchased a ntw engine The fair promises to be quite a success. THE GERMAN OPERA, much i m proved and strengthened sinco its lost visit io Charleston, opens to-night at Hibernian Hall. The opera .chosen for the occasion is Faust, always a fa? vorite with the Charleston public. Reserved seats may bo had this morning at Holmes' book house._ ROBBERY OF TOBACCO.-Mr. Meyers, who keeps a store in Calbouu-street, on or about thc 1st of April lost a quantity of loaf tobacco from his establishment.

THE CHESTER Hoa.-A fine specimen of this breed of hogs passed through tho city yester? day tor Mr. William Knox, of Selma, Ala. Tbe porker in question was weighty and of good sizo.

ROSIN.-It was reported a few days since that a salo of rosin had been made in this city at $9, "ibe highest price since the war." This is a mistake, as rosin has been sold in th's market at $12 per barrel of two hundred and eighty pounds. Charleston is as good a mar? ket for naval stores as any in the country, and as good prices can be bad as at any other point. Indeed, low grades of rosin have, within the last four months, been shipped from Wilming? ton to Charleston for sale. RAMIE.-A fresh supply of the roots of this new textile has been received in this city, and Mr. R. J. Pearce advertises them for sale in ano? ther oolumn of to-day's NEWS. We confidently hope to see the ramie soon occupy its deserv? edly important position as one of the staple productions of the South. The simplicity of its cuitare, the certainty of the crop, and bigb prices offered for the product, will, we think, induoe many ot' our planters and farmers to en? gage in its cultivation.

THE STATE MEDICAL ASOCIATION.-A moot? ing of this association, with a view to its reor? ganization, will be held on the 20th May, and from tho" interest already shown in tho matter by the niembois of tho medical profession throughout the Stato, there is litHo doubt that it will be pot upon a sound and permanent basis.

A HANDSOME TESTIMOOTAL_The officers and members of the Palmetto Steam Fire Eneine Company, desirous of testifying their appre? ciation of their President, instructed Mr. A. R.

Yesterday Mr. Lewin completed a beautiful gold oval medal with the palmetto in roliof on one side, surrounded by a garter with the motto of the company, Noli me tangere.

On the obverse are the words: "Prosented to President Hugh Ferguson, by tho officers and members of the Palmetto Steam Fire Engine Company, Charleston, 8. C., April 27, 1869."

One month's business being greater than that done by the largest and wealthiest Life Insurance Compa? nies in the United States during the entire tl rat Fear of tneir existence. The Association was first started by the most wealthy and influential citizens of St. Louis, for the purpose of changing the current of Lifo Insur? ance and Life Insurance capital from the East to the Weet and South, and as its plan is liberal and Just to every section, State and district, the wealthy men of the West and Sou'h generally are insuring then* lives in it, to the exclusion of other companies.
