R. Pickett is grateful for the pecuniary aid rendered so far, bat is still compelled to ask further support. DEATH OF A FIREMAN.-Mr. Wm. O'Mara, th J Fourth Director of the Marion Fire Com? pany, died yesterday evening very suddenly. Hc-^had been tolerably well the night previous, and was with his comrades at tho engine house. He served the company for a long time as treasurer. THE WHITE FAWN, with its beautiful scenery and effects, including the Parisian Corps de Ballet, will be produced at Hibernian Hall this evening, by the Whitman company. MI'BS Jen? nie Kimball, the star, is a pleasing and meri? torious actress, aDd sings charmingly; and the rest of the company give her a creditable ard efficient support. A GENERAL HOLIDAY.-In compliance wren the suggestion of THE NEWS, a number of prominent houses ia King-street have decided to close their doois to-morrow in honor of the Firemen's Parade. The wholesale houses and the merchants of the Bay and the wharves should emulate this generous example. Lot us have a hobday by all means. FAST TIME.--The Augusta Constitutionalist of yesterday says : M The Washingtons were out with their machine last night, about ten o'clock, practicing ipr the Charleston celebra? tion. They ran a distance of 450 yards, un? reeled one hundred feet ot hose and threw a stream of one hundred and fifty feet in two minute- and fifteen second-*. Beat this ii you can."_ THE WAST OF TyATER.-There is a general scarcity of water in the city; a number of the cisterns nave run dry, and the people on all sides are sorely pressed. There are several of tbe public pumps on the streets that need re? pair, especially the. one in Meeting-afreet, near the Guardhouse. If ibis evil were remedied, the distress might in a measure be relieved. A good long rain just now would l*e generally welcomed. i PRIZES FOR THE GRAND PARADE.-There are , on cihibtion at Wbildon's, corner of King and Beaufain streets, .five elegantly chased silver goblets1, inlaid, with gold. They are the prizes . to be distributed on the 27th to the winning Companies.

Those prizes are to be presented in bena f of the Board of Firemaster3, by George H. Walter, Esq., after the contest. They are '? beautiful specimens of workmanship, and will , re nain on inspection to-day. THE VEGETABLE TRADE.-The Norfolk, Vir- ' ginia. Journal of Saturday, April 24, has the following in reference to the. price of vegeta UN in New York: We are indebted to Messrs. John B. Page & Son fer the fellowing prices current of vegeta? bles, dated New York April 21st, P.

FOCBTEEN-AND-A-HALF A DAY-According to | the Abbeville Press, the followiug offices of ' "honor and trust" aro held by a eclorod man, Hutson J.

ROBBSBY AND ATTEMPT TO Ron.-Some thie f entered the residence of Mrs. Courtenay, at' the foot of Broad-street, near Rutledge, and' with the aid of a dark lantern went all over the house, taking all the wearing apparel he could get. When he neared tho bed room some one cd! the family, who was sitting up, heard the noise, when the thief fled, carrying Ids plunder. Two nights ago some one effected an en? trance into the residence of Mr. Roberson, on ifeu?edg?, near Broad-nreet, by cutting away the blinds of the lattice door on the front pi? azza. The burglar must have been frightened off, as he did not succeed in getting anything. MES ODONDV.VN (RO?SIn- seem? to have car? ried Augusta by storm. Tbc papers speak iu the most glowing terms of the excellence of her style ol'reading, and a committee of influ? ential citizens have insisted upon her giving a second reading in Augusta, which she baa con? sented to do to night. She will consequently not arrive in our city until to-morrow after? noon. Bernard O'Niall, Esq., and Captain James M. Mulvaney have been appoi.itod a committee to receive this unfortunate lady upon her arrival Lore. MOUNT PLEASANT AND SULLIVAN'S ISLAND. On and after to-day, the steamers plying be? tween this city an I the above delightful sum? mer resorts, will leave for Mount Pleasant at ten A. M. and three and half-past six P. M.; and leave Mount Pleasant at eight and half past eleven A. M. nnd six P. M. They will leave the city for Sullivan's island at ten A. M. three and half-past six P. M., and leave tho Island at half-past seven and eleven A. M. and half-past five P. M. for the city. The Fire Department and thtir visiting friends will be carried back and forth for one fare. PERSONAL.-It is stated that Mr. B. Odell Duncan, of South Carolina, who has beon nom? inated and confirmed as United States Consul to Elsinore, Denmark, will not accept the posi? tion, ' believing that his record and the recom? mendations of Senator Sumter and of leading mer in our consular service entitled him to a bettor position." Another recruit for the army of the diaoatisfiud. A Washington letter says : " Dr. A. G* Mackey was much talked of for a mission abroad, and at one time the mission to Portu? gal was almost promised to him. But ho relax? ed bis efforts, deciding rn the whole that he preferred to remain in South Carolina. He ' will doubtless rotam his present position." E. D. Woodruff, Jr., Esq., one of the dele? gates of the Philadelphia Fire Department, has reached the city and is at the Charleston Hotel. Thomas L. Cuthbert, thc Naval Officer at 'his port, hhs tendered to the Secretary of the Treasury his letter of resignation, to take effect on the first pr?xima. ARRIVAL OF TEE VHITING FIREMEN.-To day, al 3 P. M. tho members of the German, Phoe? nix and Washington Fire Companies, "will as? semble at their houses for the purpose of forming a common reception party to greet the visiting firemen. The Germana will asesin?le at their henee in Chalmers-street, and under the lead of Muller's Brass Band, will proceed to the house of the Pheonix, form CO" .paoy with them and thence to tho Washington house, whoro they will bo joined by that ccai pauy, when all will march to tho railroad dapot and receive the visitors. On theirroturn, ?hey will leave the different companies with their guests al their respective Louses and fiually disperse at the German's headquarters. The Stonewall will abo asse nblo at 1 P. M. to receive their gucs'.s, the Wiuyah's, from Georgetown. In another column it will be seen that the woight nf tho respectivo engines together with the numb .T of men allowed to each, is official? ly announced bv the Chic'. THE ARTESIAN WELL.-Something more than truth must lie at the bottom of the Charleston Artesian Well, for if we miy crodit the tales of travollers who have visited us during the last fcur months, its waters are moro valuable than tho Seltzer.the Vichy, tho Congress or any other waters which have acquired a national reputa? tion. The taste is slightly saline and alkaline, but when iced no unpleasant fiivor can be detected. For bathing purposes, tho artesian . we!J water is unequalled, ard if the well were only in an out of the way place, instead of iu tho main street of Charleston, it would soon be known nn.-i apastar altn ?~ every corner of the United States, from.Alaska to the Keys of Florida. A careful analysis of the water was made some months ago by Pro? fessor C. U. Shepard. This showed the amount of solid ingredients to bo 0.231 por cent. ID 100 parts the solid ingredients wero : Bicarbo? nate of soda 52.74, and chloride of sodium 47.05, the remainder 0.20 being made up of bi? carbonates ot limo and magnesia, silica, inn, lime and alumina phosphates, ic. In 100 gal? lons of the water there would be li poa Dds bi? carbonate of soda and ll pounds common salt. It is hoped that an effort will bo made to show this well to the public at its truo value. We should make the best of all our advantages. THE Or. PH AN s' ENTERTAINMENT TO-NIOHT_ The entertainment for the benefit of e Ca? tholic Male Orphan Asylum, under charge of the Sisters of Mercy, opeus to-night at Schachte's Hall, at the comer of Klug and Vanderhoret streets. Every preparation has been made to make the Hull an attractive re? sort, aud the firemen of our city and for the visiting companies there will bo no pleasanter place at wt ich to spend an evening. Among the prizes there is a fice silver trumpet, which ie to be given to the fire company which re? ceives the largest Lumber cr votes. There is a shooting celery which may be made both amusing and profitable, and tbe El Dorado table, where there are all prizes and no blanks. Tho fancy tables are prettily arranged aud well filled, And, last of all, though not least, is the eating saloon, where the visitor may. for a mere song, be re? freshed, aDd dispel the cares of the day. The hall is said to be admirably adapted to thc purpose for which it has been chosen, and when filled with the friends of the orphan dni? ren will be as happy a spo". as can be found under the sun. The object of the entertain? ment is a most praiseworthy one. There should be no difficulty in crowding the hall ?very night; for the orphans have the whole 2ity as their friends, and have never yet called for aid iu vain. This time the firemen must igain lend them a helping hand. THE LADIES' LNDUSTBIAL ASSOCIATION OF CO LCMBL\.-This Association was organized in November, 1866, for the purpoee of relieving 1 persous who bad been reduced to poverty by the war. It was desired to give not alms, but employment to this large and Buffering class, 1 md during the yeal ending November, 1867, the Association supplied eighty persons weekly with work and paid out S1200. The Associa? tion has. however, been righting hard with ad? versity for many months, so much so, that the board of managers now como before the public and ask that assistance which will enable them to put their society upon a permanent footing, and to extend the sphere of its usefulness. For this purpose a soiree will be held in Co? lumbia on Wednesday and Thursday next, the patronage of the delegates to the Agri? cultural Convention and of all strangers being earnestly solicited. To all who may be in the Capital of the State at the time this will b3 invitation enough; but there are hundreJs of others who will not be there, and who eau contribute something to tho necessities of the socioty. Upon the extent of the donations must depend the measure of relier that can te extended to those who are in want, and we appeal to our fellow-citizeus throughout the State to show by their contri? butions that they do uot forget the sacred duty ot relieving, os far as we may, the nee 1 of the widows and orphans ol those who died for cur sake. The following are the lady managers in Columbia to whom donations may be sent : Mrs. B. E. Levy, Miss Kate Hampton, Mrs. J. B. Adger, Mrs. A. M. Guignard, Mm Martha Stark, Mrs. William Wallace, Mrs. William Reynolds, Mrs. Dr. Fair, Mrs, J. A. Kay. REFORTEBS' CRU3D33 -Thc resignation of C. C. Neil, surveyor, takes effect ou thc 30th iuatiut. A plank road is bein? laid in L:tiirens-3troct. Tiie nioc companies that were to visit us have dwindled down to four; two from Augus? ta, one from Georgetown, and ono from Colum? bia. lt is generally feared that there will be an accident of some kind on Tuesday. Care should be used to prevent any mishap. Tho rivalry between two companies of the department is intense as to which shall bear away the palm of having the greatest number of men in line. A white woman, in a state of intoxication, let a very young baby fall from her anni into the water, near tho Hampstoad Mall Hospital, on Friday, and but for tho exertions of an eye? witness the infant would have been drowned. Au euterpriaing youug min is going to con? vert Denny & Perry's old store into a tempo? rary ice cream saloon for the 27th. THE AUGUSTA BOTS. -The Augusta Chroni? cle and Sentinel, of Saturday, speaking of our approaching tircmeu's parade, says: "The fol? lowing companies will attend from Augusta: The 'Georgia' Firo Company (steamer,) an 1 aud the 'Washington' Fire Company, No. 1, (hand engine.) On yesterday a letter was re? ceived from Charleston by the 'Georgia' ask? ing the members of that company to send down their steamer on Sunday, so that the l?? dier, of Charleston would have all day Monday to dress it with flowers. Ia accordance with this request the steamar will leave for Charles? ton on to-morrow morning in charge of a com? mittee of the coxpauy, consisting of J. M. Mc? Laughlin and Thomas W. Henry, Lieutenants; Jenn F. Keen, Engineer, and Jordau Bit? toms. Tbe remaining members of the 'Geor? gia' and the members of the 'Washington' will leave this city on Monday morning. Tue former will be tho guest of tho 'Phoenix' Fire Company ia Charleston and tho latter of tho ?German.' These two companies will be Join? ed at Branchville by the 'Palmetto' of Colum? bia, which will be tho guest of the Charleston company of the same name." ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM FIRE ENGINE "GEOR? GIA.-The steam fire ongiue Georgia arrived yesterday afternoon, by the South Carolina Railroad, from Augusta, under the charge of a delegation consisting of Messrs. James Mc? Laughlin, chairman; J. F. Kean, engineer, and J. B. Bottom, J. J. Cohen, H. M. Levy, F. B. McCoy, .W. Finch, S. Baling; and Tom Hall, colored watingman. As soon as the platform car containing the steamor approached the Line-streot depot, "three hearty cheers for tho Georgia boys" filled ? the air. Tho delegation from the Phoenix, the hosts of the visiting company, soon mounted the car and exchang? ed friendly greetings. lu a few moments the car moved on to Ann-street, whero tao Georgia was lowered on skids, and soon after her ropes were manned by the Phoenix delegation, the Goorgia delegation retiring to the sidewalk, and tho engine was drawn down Ann to Meet? ing-street, thence to tho house of tho Phoenix in Cumber laud-street, where the hosts served up a "punch on the hose," a?d thc dusty and travel-worn visitors were duly refreshed. The Georgia was fully described in THE NEWS when she passed through the city somo time ago. The Georgia docs not bring her reel, in consequence of it having sustained an injury in Augusta. When tho rest of tho company arrive this afternoon they will mako up a com? plement of forty members, and will be received by the Phoenix boys with becoming spirit. ; A DISGRACEFUL AFFRAY took place on Satur? day afternoon in a house of ill-repute in Mir kot-street. adioinine Charlotte Ran gp, Ihren Macera orme tnmea arates ara J^^rnu^flarrres the police authorities yosterday professed themselves unable to give, were in the house and under the influence of liquor, when an al? tercation took pla:e between thom and Mr. George Chapman. A pistol was drawo by one of the army officers and fired twice, one of the shots wounding a lieutenant (name unknown) iu the fleshy part of tho arm. It is supposed that the pistol was fired at Chapman, who soon afterwards had made himself master of tho situation. The row was growing still more serious, and Fanny Cochran, ono of thc inmates of tho house, had beou strack in tho face and badly braised, when two policomon carno up, and by their coolness and d?termination quoit? ed the disturbance and carried tho three offi? cers, Chapman and the woman to tho Guard? house. The affair oreatod the greatest excitement on King, Meeting aud Market-streets, and a large crowd gathered around the house during the fight, and afterwards followed the arrested parties to the Guardhouse. Oo their arrival at tho latter point thc offence of the officers was further aggravated by a wanton assault on one of tho policemen on duty at the door. For somo reason as yet unexplained, the three officers wore permitted to depart, and the other parties, who, if anything, seem to have been less in fa alt. were retained in cus? tody. The affair, we presume, will receive further investigation. HOTEL ARRIVALS, APRIL 24 AND 2o- Charles? ton Hotel.-W. M. Gregg, South Carolina j C. B. Harging.J. Shannon, T. A. McLclIau, Bath, Mr.; D.
