THE CHEAPEST YET.-The NEWS Job Office is nov.* printing bill-heads in the best style and on fine paper, at $2 50 per thousand. Merchants, think of it?_ SHREDS OF STATE NEWS.-Mr. J. T. DuBois lias been re-elected town elerk of Marion, and General Henry Shaw has been re-elected marshal. John R. Hucks has been appointed a magistrate for Marion County. The Marion Star has never her. v? of such a man. A SAVANNAH NEGRO MURDERED AT A GAM? ING TABLE.-Our Savannah exchanges report the murder of George Knight by Edward Burke, both negroes, at a low gambling den in that city. The former had lost heavily and taunted Burke with cheating, when the latter retaliated by shootiug his victim. Tua LILA AND ZOE TROITE.- This troupe closed their performances In this city on Tuesday nig^it, and will commence a Northern tour from Wilmington. They have formed a combination that will greatly increase their fa?ilitics to afford ?amusement, and will probably return to this city ' before the close of thc theatrical season. THE GRAND ROVAL ARCH CHAPTER OF SOCTK CAROLINA.-The annual convocation of this branch or the order will bc held iu this city on Tuesday, the 15th of February. The different railroads have agreed to pass the delegates for hair Tare. Besides the election or officers, the Chapter will consider some importaut business Ibat wiu be brought before it. TnE ACADEMY OF MUSIC LAST NIGHT.-There was a rather slim houseliost night to witness the .second performance of'"Ring Henry IV," but belter than was expected, taking into considera? tion the bad weather and the social attractions of the evening. The play went off well-remarkably well. There was no jar or hitch, and the whole company played as earnestly as though the house were filled to the ceiling. Mr. Hackett was-If humor can be-sublime ; and the minor charac? ters were far better played than on Tuesday night. The audience was attentive and critical, aud gave cheerfully a rich guerdon of applause. 1S70.-The year eighteen hundred and seven? ty though yet in Its infancy, this being its 20th day, has already given us such a variety or weather changes, as is seldom In this latitude experienced within the twelve calendar months. We have.had weather suitable to the four seasons. Rain, hail, frost and snow, thunder and light? ning, with the thermometer ranging from 25 de? grees to 78 degrees. It has also given us a n^w moon and a full moon, and will give us -another new moon before the monti expires. The extreme warm weather of the beginning of this week was followed yesterday by a cold, bleak, rainy day. There was sleet about noon. Mn. FORD'S BENEFIT AT CHARLESTON.-The Augur-'.a Constitutionalist says: The theatrical season at Charleston has been so far a tremendous success and promises to continue to prosper to the end of the chapter. This is in wonderful contrast to our Augusta season, but it may be said in extenuation that Charleston has keen much more favored than Augusta in the way or dramatic entertainments. Manager Ford was complimented with a benefit on Monday' evening, and presented with a superb gold watch and chain. Mr. Warner, an eminent tragedian, has just closed a rousing engagement at Charles? ton, and ts succeeded by Mr. Hackett, the great Shakespearian comedian. Augusta, having be? haved so badly, must, we suppose, get along the best she can with the circus, the Bell-ringers and whatever itinerant shows are happening to drift this way. / PERSONAL PROPERTY IN CHARLESTON COCW TY.-An abstract ol the personal property, mo? nies and credits in Charleston County, as return? ed by the township assessors and equalized by the connty board for the year 1869, shows that th*ere are In the county: of horses 1733, valued at $140,780; of cattle 6510, valued at $83,369; of mules and asses 934, valued at $115,916; sheep and goats 2427, valued at $5285; hogs 8343, valued at $21,060; gold and silver watches and plate 1272, valued at $173,094; pianofortes, -m clod eons, or cabinet or? gans 580, valued at $60,602; pleasure carriages 366, valued at $24,32?; and dogs 1970, valned at $4942. The average value of property appertaining to merchandise ls $2,337,713; average value of prop? erly appertaining to -manufacturing, $198,867; value o.' manufactured articles on hand for one year or more, and or engines, tools. Ac, $310,609; value or monies, including bank bills and circu? lating notes, $154,250; value ol all credits, $536, 725; value or stocks or any company or corpora? tion out or this State except national banks, $1.521,154; bonds not exempt from taxation, $1,111,935; annual value of all leases except per? manent leases, $55,2S2; value or all other prop? erty, $712,376. The total value or all taxable personal property in the city and county amounts to $10,015,073. It is gratifying to note that the returns or per? sonal property ror the year 1869 are lu excess of those of 1S68 by about $800,000. TUE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR.-The chron? iclers sa; that "Good Queen Bess," so-called, ad? mired hugely the character of "Slr John Falstaff" as he appeared in Henry IV, and wished to see him exhibited once more, and in love. Falstaff could not properly be in love, but he couhl pre? tend to be so, and at al?events imagine that he was the object or love. In the "Merry Wives or "Windsor" he accordingly pays his court, as a fa? vored knight, to two married ladles, who lay their heads together and agree to listen to his ad? dresses ror the sake or making him the butt or their ridicule. That Falstaff should rall so re? peatedly into the snare set ror him by the frolic? some dames gives us a less favorable opinion or hiTshrewdness than Henry IV and Henry V had lcd us to rorm; still, it will not be thought Im? probable if we admit the probability of the first infatuation on which the whole piece is founded, namely, that he can believe himself qualified to inspire a passion. This leads him, notwithstand? ing hu age, his corpulency, and his dislike of per -sonal inconveniences and dangers, to venture on an enterprise which requires the boldness and ac? tivity of youth, and the situations occasioned by this inratoatlon are droll beyond all description. Or aU Shakespeare's piuees this approaches the nearest to the species or pure comedy, lt is ex? clusively confined to the English manners ol the" day, and to the domestic relations; the characters are almost all comic, and the dialogue, with thc .exception or a couple or short love scenes* is written In prose. But we see that it was a point -or principle with Shakespeare to make none or his compositions a mere imitation or the prosaic world, and to strip them or all poetical decora? tion; accordingly he has elevated the conclusion of the comedy by a wonderful intermixture, which suited the place where lt was probably first represented. A popuiai superstition is made the means of a fanciful mystification or Falstaff; .disguised aa the ghost or a bunter, who, with jagged horns wanders about in the woods or Windsor, he ls to wait ror his rrollcsome mistress; .in this plight he is surprised by a chorus or boys and girls disguised like ralrles, who, agreeably to the popular belier, are holding their midnight dances, and who sing a merry song as they pinch and torture him. This is the last affront put upon poor Falstaff, and with this contrivance the con? clusion or the second love affair is made in a most ingeni?os manner to depend. To-night Mr. Hackett will appear as "Sir John Palstatf," and the Charleston public who, like Queen Bess, desire to see the valorous knight bound in the chains or love, may now gratiry their ?figer curiosity. Mr. Hackett will be supported by thc whole company, and thc performance will -undoubtedly be admirable In every particular. ?CB GERMAN FRIENDLY SOCIETY. One Hundred ami Fourth Anniversary. Tue one hundred and fourth annual meet? ing of this society-one which combines the poise and steadiness of youth with thc mellow thought and prudence of age-was celebrated yesterday at thc Hibernian Hall. Thc polls were opened at the appointed hour, and nt their close the follow? ing' oillcerj were declared to bc elected: Jacob Small, president; H. ll. Olney, senior war? den; A. F. Melchers, junior warden; John A. Blum, secretary; Jacob Schirmer, treasurer: A. C. Kaufman and F. vou Santcn, stewards. Committee on Chatity-John H. Honour, chair? man; H. Coblo, Henry Horlbcck, Or.

THE BANQUET. At fl YO o'clock In the evenlug the members of the society, with their invited guests, sate dowu to a dinner which may be styled the master-work of Tully, the Charleston Cicero of caterers. The bill of fare embraced all thc delicacies and substan? tials in and out of season, and was heartily on joyed by the society. A goodly compauy was there. All of German Charleston was well represented. On thc right of the chairman, Jacob Small, Esq., was the venera? ble D|? Bachman; and on his right were the Rev. tv. W. Hicks, the Hon. Charles II. Sinionton, ?ind other distinguished gentlemen. Among the good men and true who graced the table with their presence, were Colonel Gaillard, A. Slmonds, Esq., J. H. Honour, Bsq., H. B. Olney, Esq., A. F. Me'lch ers, Esq., Captain Henry Gerdts, and, indeed, the large majority of our German fellow-citizens. When,the cloth was drawn, thc chairman offer? ed thc first regular toast, as follows: 1. The Day we Celebrate-Endeared to us by as? sociations consecrated by an honorable past, lilied with rich hopeB of a promising future. The second regular toast was as follows: 2. The Founders or the Society-We cherish thc lessous of benevolence they have taught us by their lives and example. Their names will be handed down to our posterity as loved household words. This toast was responded to by Dr. Baehman, who congratulated the members on the coming of this their lott h anniversary, and claimed to fie one of the oldest members, who, for more than half a century, had Joined with the society in its sor rowlug and rejoicing. There were, he said, many reasons why the memory of the founders or the German Friendly Society should be kept green and cherished. They brought with them to America thrift and purjty, which always and everywhere characterize the German char? acter. They were men of Integrity, men of truth, men or diligence and energy, ard thc so? ciety has followed in their path. They ..ere not, perhaps, learned men. Tiiey were artisans, me? chanics, farmers, who honestly dui their part. Tlie Huguenots were the first to seule this coun? try, but the Germans who came after were not, morally or intellectually, behind them. The Ger? mans were always true to South Carolina; they took up arms when called on to do so; the Ger? mans always were and always will be true to South Carolina. [Tremendous applause.] In con? clusion, Dr. Bcchnian exhorted his hearers io do their duty fearlessly, and invoked upon theiAVnd their labors the blessing of an Omnipotent God. The next toast was: 5. Germany-The home of our fathers, lt ls our pride and glory that her blood flows in our veins: that her liberation and her history are our cherished inheritance. This was responded to by R. Siegling, Esq., whose eminently graceful speech was hailed with loud applause. Mr. Siegling touched happily ug?t the fidelity of Germans to their duty In peace as In war, and, in conclusion, gave as a sentiment, "The Germans of South Carolina." The next toast was: 4. Charleston-Our Home-May her rnture com? pensate for all her .offerings In the past, and may she rise from her ashes, redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled. This was admfraoly responded to by J. H. Honour, Esq., whose mingled wit "and pathos took thc company by storm. He asked who was Corbin ? And answered the question by saying, that Cor-ofn came from Cor beau, the unclean bird which picks np and devours all thc grain ot the farmer. The platform or Mr. Honour was set forth in the words that "others might aye black, but he would die white." Tills, and the accom? panying wealth of argument and illustration, was received with unbounded applause. The next toast was : 5. Woman-In our childhood we revere her as mother; In youth we love her as sweetheart, and in manhood we honor her as wife. 9 Mr. A. C. Kaufman responded to this toast, and came fully up to the standard of his difficult task, in a speech marked by learning, wit, sense and pa? thos. The speaker was often and warmly ap? plauded. Mr. Kaufman speaks as well as he buys and sells stocks and bonds; and what mo? can be said? This ended the regular toasts; but thc chair? man Captaiu small,* had a pleasant duty before him. Dr. Patrick offered, at bis suggestion and Invitation, the toast ot "Our Sister Societies," which was excellently rc-ponded to by Colonel Sinionton. president or the Washington Light In? fantry Charitable Association, whose gracefol and timely words were thoroughly appreciated. The next toast was '-The .Press," which was modestly responded to by one or the modest members or the staff or THE CHARLESTON NEWS, who, for THE NEWS and its contemporary, prom? ised lots or good things and undying fidelity to every German advertiser and newspaper reader. In reply to the next toast, the Kev. Mr. Hicks spoke. This gentleman declared that a cause might be lost, but the principle, which ls truth, never could bc lost. He had confidence in thc future of the State, and said that this Southern land expected every man to do his duty. Mr. Hicks was warmly applauded. " Now came toast and speech in quick succession. Mr. G. D. Bryan won new laurels, as did other orators, who beg that they may not be named. So ended a delightful evening, with good fel? lows, good viands, good wines, and a hearty good night ! German Friendly Society ! Long may you wave ! UNITED STATES COCKT-HOV. GEORGE S. BRYAN, PRESIDING.-EX parte A. C. Shaffer, or Colleton. Petition for final discharge. Granted. Ex parte John I). Grady, ol Greenville. Peti? tion for final discharge. Reforred to W. J. daw? son, and hearing ordered on February 18th. Ex parte Hugh L. Farley. Petition for final discharge. Referred to Registrar Carpenter, and final hearing ordered on February 18th. Ex parte Bollnianu Bros., in re Thomas R. Brown. Petition to establish liens. Referred to Registrar Carpenter. The jurors for the grand and petit juries for the term of 1370 were drawn as usual. , A GOOD MOVEMENT.-It is understood that a motion will be made at the next meeting or Council authorizing that body to offer a liberal reward for the arrest of incendiaries. With few exceptions, thc fires that have recently devasta? ted our city are clearly traced to Incendiarism, and though this fact has been established, yet in no Instance bave the criminals been brought to justice. During Mayor Gaillard's administration Ares were so frequent that, as a measure or sare ty, the Countll offered a reward of $1000, which, though unclaimed by any one, had certainly the effect of reducing the number of fires. Every fire that has occurred since the war leaves a gap that ls seldom re? built, and the expense accruing to thc city, and the loss entailed upon individuals and insurance companies, would in all probability be avoided hy the timely offer or a reward. It ls to the Inter? est or both the taxpayers and the municipal authorities to have thc real estate of the city made as remunarative as possible, and we trust that thc motion to offer a reward for the arrest of Incendiaries will meet with the full support of the Council. TUE CITT RAILWAY.-Hereafter thc cars of the Rutledge street line will await the closing of thc Academy of Music nt the corner of King and Wentworth streets. The cars of the King street line will occupy their present position at the cor? ner of Meeting and Market streets. ELECTION*.-Tlic following gentlemen were elected to serve on the Hoard of Vestry of St. Mary's Church Tor thc ensuing year: II. Z. Lau rejf and Alex. St. Amand, wardens; P. J. Barbot, ?ecretary; llr. J. P. Cliazal, B. Riols, E. Poincig non, C. P. Aimai, E. Lafitte, C. Kanapaux. Ata meeting of the Vestry Mr. G. A. Folliu was unani? mously elected treasurer. THE UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL.-One of our sharp and shrewd detectives, who owes lils ofllce to the powers that be, was the victim of a most foic? transaction on Tuesday night, though the deed was not discovered until yesterday morn? ing. A man and brother and voter was seen prowling about the detective's premises Tuesday night, and lt ls presumed that he is the party who leryed on the dozen of mlsslug full grown chick? ens. When such night prowlers have no fear of the officers of the law, 'tis time for ordinary folks to niake their chickens "roost high."' THE JACQUES STCMP EXTRACTOR.-For many years, in deed as long as the clearing of forest laud for agricultural purposes has been necessary, (and this period dates anterior to the days of Co? lumbus,) the great dlilleulty in clearing has been to get rid of the stump or root or the tree which remained In the ground after the tree was felled aud cqp-vcrted Into thc thousand and one uses ror which the timber was necessary. In tuen land, interlayed with roots and stumps, the modern improvements in agricultural implements could not be made use ol, and lu these days when all such labor-saving machines are most essential to' the thriving larmer or planter, he must first look to'the radical clearing of his land. Our enterprising fellow-citizen and mastw me? chanic, Mr. James M. Eason, has given this sub? ject much of his attention of late, and has been so successful as to invent a very simple machine, which has been illus^-ated and described in the December number of the Rural Carolinian, but which was not put to the test, until yesterday. This new invention of Mr. Eason is appropriately called the "Jacques stump extractor;" and on trial yesterday, with a leverage or only 30 inches, it raised 1C00 tons or Iron; while the young man who worked the lever reit no more inconvenience than ir working a common cistern pump. With a ten-root leverage, a man, lt ls supposed, conld raise one hundred tons ; and the stump which would resist this torce should be left to Its native bed. Mr. Eason has applied for a patent ror thc ex? tractor, and In the course or a rcw days will take it up to some or the neighboring rarms and ex? tract some or the lund teeth or old mother earth.

Sinoe my return to tho city, aRer an absence ot several days, my attention has been called to the following extract from your paper or the 9th instant : " PHOSPHATES." lu my last letter I mentioned that on Thursday morning last there was lying on the desks ol euch of thasenators a copy or Dr. Pra.t's "His.ory of the Marls of South ca-'-lica, and or thc discovery and d-jvclopment or the Native Bone Phosphates or the Charleston Basin," and that it was not known who placed them there.

The stomach and the brain are too intimately allied ror the one to surfer with? out thc other, so that dyspepsia and despondency are inseparable, lt may bc added, too, that Irri? t?t lou*br the stomach ls almost Invariably acconi pan'eil by Irritation or the temper. The invigorating and tranquilizing operation or HOSTETTER^ BITTERS 13 most powerfully de? veloped In cases or indigestion. The first effect or this agreeable tonic is comforting and encourag? ing. A mild glow pervades the system, the chronic uneasiness In thc region or the stomach ls lessened, and thc nervous restlessness which characterizes the disease ls abated. This improve? ment ls not transient. It ls r.ot succeeded by the return or the old symptoms with superadded rorce, as is always the case when uumcdlcatcd stimulants are given for the complaint. Each dose seems to impart a permanent accession of healthful invigoration. But this ls not all. The aperient and anti-blllous properties or the prepar? ation are scarcely secondary in importance to its tonic virtues, ir there ls an overflow*or bile^he secretion is soon brought within proper limits, and il thc biliary organ is Inert and torpid il is toned and regulated. The effect upon the dis? charging organs is'equally salutary, and In cases or constipation the cathartic action is just suffi? cient to produce the desired result gradually and without pain. The HITTERS also promote healthy evaporation rrom thc surface, which ls particu? larly desirable at this seasorfwhen sudden spells or raw, unpleasant weather are apt to check thc natural perspiration and produce congestion or the liver, coughs and colds. The best safeguard against all diseases is bodily vigor, and this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially promotes.

We would Invite thc attention of Planters to thc consideration of some of the advantages in the cultivation or SORGO as a Crop, which are, the small amount or labor; the hardy character ot the plant in Its ability to endnre, without ma? terial Injury, bollfdrought and wet; its freedom Trom thc attack or worms; its carly maturing, and the ra? that the Seed and every part of the plant is of great value. In consequence of the Imperfect method hitherto adopted In preparing the Juice of this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belief that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very Inferior syrup. But, by the discovery ol the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed in thc minds or all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups of the Refineries, ls pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make it without dmibr. thc most profitable crop that can be plant? ed. Of these facts abundant evidence can be shown. Any information on thin subject can be obtain? ed by applying to Mr. F. G. CART, Charleston, S. C., who has been appointed our authorized Agent, and who will bc prepared lo furnish pure Imphee Seed and Machinery. Or to ourselves at Greenville, S. C. PASSMORE k WILHELM**? Greenville, S. C.
