TEFFT'S SAW GUMMER AND SHARPENER.-Al? though the saws, either circular or straight, used in catting timber arc made of the finest tempered .steel, the wear and tear soon dulls the teeth and renders them comparatively useless. . A number ?of machines have been Invented to remedy this, iand, by sharpening and gamming, or cutting .down the teeth into the body of the saw, to res . tore Its usefulness. The plan of drilling holes and .cutting the piece out with a cold chisel frequent ay fractures tbe saw, besides wearing out files and employing several men to complete the opera? tion. There is now on exhibition at Eason's foundry a machine which not only cuts, gums and sharpens the saw with ease, but is warranted to save seventy-five per cent. In files and do the work or eight men. A small wheel formed of vulcanized rubber, iron and emory ls the cutting power. This is attached to other machinery, and by connecting pulleys and bands ls given a speed at the rate of 2000 revolutions to the minute There is both an oscil? lating and a rotary motion, and by the tarn of a small har Me the operator can bring the revolving -disk to bear upon any part of the saw. The lat? ter is placed In front of the machine, and ls either turned by the hand or, If straight, slipped along. A shower of sparks ls thrown off during the ope? raron, but the current of air created carries them from thc face and keeps the saw cool. The prin? ciple is very simple, but the Invention has receiv? ed the encomiums of the best millwrights and me? chanics in the country, who claim that it ls ad? mirably adapted for the purpose and far better than anything yet given to the public The machine was Invented about two years since at Plattsburg, N. Y., and the patent-right for the United States purchased by Messrs. Smith A ?Jordan, who are selling the rights for the several States. Kr. Jordan hos thc machine mentioned above, and will show its merits to all visitors. He has already fixed a circular saw, belonging to Messrs. Brodie A Co., that had been condemned as worn-out and worthless. TUE FIREMEN'S JUBILEE IN AUGUSTA.-This event promises to exceed in interest any celebra? tion of the kind held since the war. The open? handed, generous hospitality of Augusta ls pro? verbial, and many of our firemen have a lively recollection of tbe kindly treatmeut experienced from their Augusta brethren at a previous visit. The Augusta boys feel a just pride In their record, and intend making the celebration of Tuesday an -event that shall never be forgotten. Every pre p?xatlon has been made, and Augusta win, for the next few days, be the liveliest city in the State. Mrs. Oates' dramatic and operatic troupe will perform at Glrardey's Opera House, Pro" lesser King will give a balloon ascension at .3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and the citizens and authorities of Augusta will vie with each other ia extending the hospi? talities of their city to the visiting firemen. Mrs. Oates will present a beautiful wreath to ?ash or the three companies from Charleston. TrfsBe wreaths are highly ornamental and W?? be prized by the recipients as a cherished me? mento of their visit and of the charming donor. The Marion, Young America and Hook and Ladder No. 1, are the visiting companies from Charleston, but delegations from the Phoenix, Vigilant, Washington and Stonewall will also attend. The members of the Vigilant will go In charge of the reel of the Marlon. The engines were placed on the cars at the Ann street depot yesterday afternoon, and thc visitors will leave ior Augusta to-day. Nor will Charleston be the enly city whoselflre department ls represented In Augusta. Columbia, Savannah, Macon and At? lanta win each send specimen firemen. The Palmetto Fire Company, of Columbia, found that after they had made their arrange? ments Tor thc visit that they had literally count ?d without their hosts, for the hotels and board? ing houses or Augusta were either too full or de? clined to furnish quarters. The Columbians were bound togo, and sent word that they would bring their blankets and try it camp fashion dur? ing their stay. This, or course, could not be thought of, and the Augusta firemen leased the old City Hotel building for the Columbia com? pany, who will convert lt Into a temporary bar? racks. The following gentlemen have been appointed by the Mayor of Augusta and the Chieror the Fire Department to act as judges at the contest: From CouncU-Messrs. B'sell, Horton, Rogers and Sto vali. Appointed by the Chier-Messrs. Thomas W. Cumming, J. A. Robert, Alexander Phillip, T. j. Jennings, Ker Boyce, S. D. Dean, John TUlcey, Ja^tu Cusan, S. Rignoa mi J. i>. Mart tu 'AMUSEXEXTS. Academy of Music-Thc Lust Appear? ance of thc Oates Troupe. Tlie Oates Burlesque and Operatic Troupe discarded burlesque altogether on Saturday night, in order to show their strength in broad farce and domestic melodrama. Mrs. Oates play? ed "Collu" lu the "Youth that never saw a Wo? man," and "Nan"' in "Good for Nothing." In the last named character her acting was especially natural. A pretty medley was sung by Mrs. Oates with her accustomed skill, and was peremptorily encored. Mrs. Sheldon had but a shadowy some? thing to do in "Solon Shingle," and not much more in the opening piece, but she acted with spirit and taste. "Solon Shingle" was, wc pre? sume, intended to be the "war horse" of the evening, ami Mr. Sheldon made an ex? cellent "Solon." There is, however, very little merit In the piece, which is a queer mixture of vulgarity and improbability. The acting or Mr. Thorpe as "Harry Conkllu," in 'Good for Nothing," ?ud as "Robert Howard," a "Solon Shingle," was so unaffected and na? tural as to impress the audience very favorably, in spite or thc Tact that thc roles which he under? took were not Intrinsically striking. The house was well lilied, aud thc audience ttstiOcd by rrequcnt applause their appreciation or thc big dish or amusement set before them. It is expected that thc Oates company will soon return tu Charleston, and will then produce some highly attractive novelties la the way of burlesque and the drama. Academy of Music-LaRut's Minstrels. To-night La Ruc a lamons band or negro min. strels, who have won so much renown In the cities or the North, make their first appearance at the Academy. Their entertainment comprises many features or merit surpassing any perform? ance or like character which has appeared In Charleston slrifcc the war. Among the troupe are a number or voices or great cultivation, sweetness and melody, and their chorus and ballads are ren? dered with linc effect. Signor Ricardo is the pos? sessor or thc most remarkable soprano voice. Many rcmale singers, who set themselves down in thc prima donna Hst, would bc put to the blush before Ricardo. Thc other stars or the company are equally attractive. Minstrels are always so popular in Charleston that this superior troupe will be sure to draw a crowded house. Seats may? be secured In advance at thc box office without extra charge. The Berger Family Swiss Belt Ringers. The new hali of the Academy of Muslo will be inaugurated as a place or amusement to-night, by the well-known Swiss Bell Ringers. This troupe has been greatly improved since their last visit, by the addition of new performers, and can now offer thc best entertainment of its kimi ever given to the public. Sol Smith Bussell is well known'in this community as the best racial artist that has ever delighted an audience. His imper? sonations are capital, and the facility with which he commands his mobile features is really wonderful. Anna Berger, and thc other mem? bers ot the ramify, arc admirable performers on the bells. Miss Maud Stanley ls a vocalist or superior merit and a recent acquisition to the troupe. Thc performance ls varied, and comprises acting and singing. Thc entrance to the hall ls to thc left of thc lower ticket office, and persons should be careful where they purchase their tickets. > St. Joseph's Pair. The second week of St. Joseph's Fair, at the Hibernian Halt, begins to-day, no changes being made ia the hours of opening and closing. Busy hands have been at work repairing the ravages of eager visitors, and it is expected that the hall will be as brilliant to-night as when it first open? ed. A myriad articles of usc and beauty adorn the tables, the comedians and tragedians or the Academy, No. 2, tread thc mimic boards, and solid and fluid refreshments are dispensed with a liberal hand. Altogether, no more charming place than thc St. Joseph's Fair can be found in which to spend an evening. It has all thc attractions which can be given by the diligence ol fair women and the Industry or gallant men, and to these ls added the crowning attraction-that the object of the gathering is one which comes homo to the heart of every Catholic in Charleston. St. Joseph's Church, whose earnest and unselfish pastor has been slow to urge hts claims upon the Catholic purse, is encumbered with debt, which caa be paid by a united effort, and with little sacrifice of comfort or convenience. The pastor has done all that he could do, and so have the congre? gation. Now they come forward to their rellow-Catholic3 and ask for aid, an aid which cannot be refused. So far the rair has not had the foll support which ls its due. There ls time to make up for the opportunities which have been lost. And the Catholic congregations in the city surely will not be dear when they are called upon to help a sister church. Something more than sympathy ls needed. St. Joseph's Fair needs substantial help and a crowd of visitors, all of them ready todo what they eau for thc com? mon good. The Charleston Catholics most ponder these things; and, ir their duty and their respon? sibility come home to them, the Hibernian Hall will be thronged with fresh faces for several nights to come. Thc Tremaine Brothers. Holmes' Lyceum was opened to a good house on Saturday night. The performance was pleasingly varied with selections from an extensive repertoire of songs, glees and chor? uses. Thc powers or the Burdett organ were tully displayed, and thc audience kept in a good humor to thc close. Tkc entertainment will be repeated this evening in behalt or thc coo. grcgatlou of Trinity Church, aud should commaud a full house. "Wicked Ben"-The Learned Pig. . Among thc multitudinous attractions which enliven our city Just now, thc educated porker, who holds forth on King street, nearly opposite Clifford, should not be neglected. "Wicked Ben," lt ls true, does uot draw houses us large as those which grace the Academy; but as he is readyJor a performance at any hour within thc limits of reason, the aggregate of wonder-stricken behold? ers who enjoy his feats is quite large. Should- he remain herc long enough to become a legal resi? dent of thc State, his rare sagacity,-combined with his evident popularity among the colored people, might make 1dm a formidable candidate for the Legislature next fall.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. .?"IR-I notice going the rounds of the Charleston parters, that the case of the United States vs. Alfred Huger has been dismissed In the Supreme Court, and the Impression is conveyed that the suit ls dismissed upon its merits. This is not true. The case has been dismissed by the Supremo Court on purely technical grounds, viz: because Mr. Hager's counsel neglected to enter up a Judg? ment upon the verdict rendered under the ruling of Judge Bryan. The record was hastily made up and sent to thc Supreme Court, this omission of entry of judgment escaping notice. The defect In the record was discovered at this last term of thc Supreme Court when the case came up Tor tria!. A writ of certiorari was im? mediately sent by the Supreme Court to the Uni? ted States Circuit Court In this State, requiring the completed record to be sent up. t'pon examination or the record of this court, it was round that the judgment had not been en? tered up. Mr. Huger'a counsel was requested to enter up the judgment. This they peremptorily declined to do, and for the express reason that if the>/ did a trial upon the merits of the case would be had in the Supreme Court this term. Applica? tion was then made to his honor. Judge Bryan, to order an entry or judgment, and he declined to do so. Thus it has been round impossible, tot thc time, to complete the record, technically, so as to obtain a hearing at this term or the Supreme Court. At thc next term or the court, thc verdict here torore obtained will either be set aside or a Judg? ment entered as it should have beeu two years ago by Mr. Hager's counsel. From this statement, It will be apparent to all that Mr. Huger, through his counsel,has expressly efuse'l, and upon purely technical grounds, to al? low hi3 case to come to trial upon its merits in the Supreme Court. ir lie or his counsel had felt that profound con? fidence in the charge of his houor, Judge Bryan, under which the verdict was rendered, why should they have taken an advantage, purely technical, to delay a trial of the cause ? They know very well they have obtained simply delay, and that the case can and will be, in due time again in the Supreme Court. Yours, very respectfully, D. T. CORBIN, United States Attorney. Thc Late Henry Cobla. Surrounded by the sable emblems of grief tor the loss of their late president, the associate pas? tor, after a few pertinent remarks yesterday morning, read from tho altar or St. John's Lnth rau Church, to the congregation there assembled, ?he subjoined extracts furnished from the records of their vestry: Resolved, That the preamble and resolutions lust read be unanimously adopted and spread on thc minutes or this vestry ; that the name or HENRY COBIA bc inscribed on a blank page or our record book; that the present proceedings or this body bc presented through one of our pastors to the congregation or St. John's Lutheran Church; that a copy or them be supplied the family of the late HENRY COBIA, president of this vestry and cor? poration, and that they bc published In the Luth ran Visitor, of Columbia, S. C., and lu the Courier and NEWS or this city. TRIBUTE BY TUB VESTRY OP ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, IN HONOR Or THE MEMORY" OF THE LATE HENRY COBIA, ITS PRESIDENT. Self-immolation on the altar or duty and be? nevolence has involved our community in a com? mon gloom, and deprived this church, especially, of one of Its most highly esteemed and cherished members. Having to all human appearance pass? ed the crisis which seemed to threaten at any moment the end of his eminently useful ure, and rallied to a degree that inspired hope or a rapid convalescence, lt may be readily conceived, witt what saddening effect we received the melan? choly intelligence, during the hour of divine ser? vice on Sabbath morning, February 13th, 1870, that HENRY COBIA, late President of this Vestry, and also of the congregation of St. John's Church, had, at about the hour bf 9 A. M. that morning, peacefully, calmly and In entire consciousness, passed to his eternal rest and re? ward. We profoundly mourn this sad bereavement and heavy chastening by tho Divine hand; and while here with riven hearts and bowed heads, to give perpetuity to our estimate of tbe worth of thc lamented deceased, let us give ex : -else also to those excellencies of raith which will mould us into willing submissiveness to, and an entire ac? quiescence In, the decrees or that Providence whose visitations such erring beings as wc ere should never for an Instant attempt even to hold lu question. Other pens than ours, doubtless, will seek to do flt honor to thc memory or the late HENRY COBIA. Those rare virtues which had marked him a leading and controlling mind in thc dig?rent maris ot trade, commerce and Onanie, and tho?c yet higher ones which had so constantly and unostentatiously employed him In extending kludncss and relier to thc widow and the orphan, will all receive our enduring re? cord. But rrom us, whose relations with him throughout a long series or years had been or the closest and most cordial character, quite a differ ent aail perhaps more grateful record may be ex? pected. Without Invading thc sanctity, there? fore, or any circle, or trenching In any way on the prerogatives specially belonging to any organiza? tion to which he may have been attached, we claim lt as our privilege particularly, to hold up for Imita? tion and emulation among ourselves as a vestry and congregation, those exalted and sacred char? acteristics which had always made thc late HEN? RY COUIA usefully conspicuous and prominent In excellence or character os one of our number. Always devotedly attached to this church and her various Institutions, and ever scrupulously zeal? ous to advance her best and most vital interests, he never failed, either as our associate or head, in endeavoring to influence iw ror good by his time? ly and judicious counsel and ripe judgment in the same direction. As practical and quick of appre? hension, as he was courteous and rrlendly In dis? position, oar late lamented head, although mov? ing among us almost noiselessly In the prosecu? tion or his plans, his influence aud worth, never? theless were always acknowledged and greatly reit. With a keon appreciation or the true ameni? ties or lire, aud the conviction that the exercise or those amenities should invariably prove a guid? ing Influence and power at this board, our late president, both by precept and example, ever sought to provoke lu us a full and sacred observ? ance or them. As embracing all and crowning all or real worth that can then bc said or the late HENRY COUIA, we would crave no truer sentence cut In thc marble covering lils sleeping dust, than that HENRY COBIA Hoed, and died a CHRISTIAN. Thcrerore, Resolved, That in thc death or the late HENRY COUIA, this vestry has lost au associate and head whom they greatly esteemed, and thc corpora? tion or St. John's Lutheran Church a president, whose place it will indeed prove difficult to sup? ply. Resolved, That our commou communion, In which the lamented deceased had manirestcd a deep interest, has also sustained a great loss, and will, wc kuow, feel consoled with ns In the assur? ance that his peac -lui ami happy end ls but another evidence, when all earthly props are fail lug, or the sustaining power or that religion, whose profession, even from carly manhood, he bad always greatly adorned. Resolved, That the warmest sympathies of this Vestry arc extended to the afflicted family of the late il KN KV COBIA, and the congregation or St. John's Lutheran Chureh, In this their day or sore trial and sad bereavement, and that our action ot this hour lind such expression as this Hoard may deem appropriate.

From thc time when, In 1834, Dr. RUGGE discov? ered "Carbolic Acid" and Us extraordinary medi? cal effects, nothing In the history or Medicine has equalled lt. Largely used by the French physi? cians in treatment or consumptive and scrofo lous diseases, it was introduced by the Court Phy? sician of Berlin, MAX ERNST HENRY, Into Prus? sia, and from thence to thc United States. No thiug else or the present day can equal HEN RY'S SOLULION OR CARBOLIC CONSTITUTION RENOVATOR.

TORPID SYSTEM.-SOMETIMES, without any assignable cause,, tbe physical strength and animal spirits give way, and a strange torpor falls alike on the- body and Intel? lect. There is little or no pain perhaps, but the natural vigor and elasticity or the nervous and muscular system seems to have departed, and an indifference to thc pleasures of life, and even of its grave responsibilities, takes thc place of that earnest interest in both which characterizes every well balanced mind when in a healthy con? dition. This state of partial collapse is often the pre? monitory symptoms of some serious malady. It Indicates unmistakably that the vital powers are languishing and need a stimulant. In such cases the effect of a few doses of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic wakes up tho system from Its drowse. The secretions and the circulation re? ceive a new impetus. The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under the operations of the spectlc, like the slackened strength of a musical instru? ment in the process of tuning.. Lethargy and debility arc replaced by energy and vigor, the spirits rise, and life that almost seemed a burden whUe the season of depression lasted, becomes once more enjoyable. That such a radical change should be produced by a remedy entirely devoid of thc powerful alkaloids and minerals so exten? sively used In modern practice, may seem in? credible to those who pin their raith on the medicinal efficacy ol active poisons, but if these skeptics will take the trouble to inquire of those who have tested thc corrective and alterative virtues or the BITTERS uHder the circumstances described, they will find thc statement to be trne. felj21 GDAC IF YOU WANT LAW JtJOUIib, LAW BLANKS and Legal Printlngjgo to EDWARD PERRY, No. 155 Meeting street, opposite Charles? ton Hotel, Charleston, S.

This-wonderful vegetable restorative is the sheet incbor of tbe feeble and debilitated. As a cordial er the aged and deorepiddt has no equal among stomachics.

It ls to-day the most popular medicine In the civilized. world. Extensively as lt ls ^advertised, Its best ad? vertisement ls thc beneficial result which uniformly follows Its use.
