DOTTERER'S IMPROVED RlCB PLANTER.-This invaluable aid to the rice planters has been thoroughly tested for the past three years, and has been found to be of essential assistance on the plantation. They are manufactured and for sale by Mr. William S. Benerey, of this city. lr -* A MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT ON EAST BAT. Captain A. Habenicht, or asphalt notoriety, ls now engaged In laying a sidewalk or that material on East Bay, above Hasel street. The pavement In front of Johnson's Row has been notoriously bad for years, but the entire portion or East Bay be? tween Hasel and Market, on each side or the street, ls In the same condition, and almost im? passable in wet weather. If the authorities will continue the good work they have commenced, and furnish asphalt sidewalks lu this section, they will confer an Immense benefit, to numbers of suffering pedestrians. "SHOO FLT" IN THE CLASSICS.-Somebody has discovered that Homer was the original "Shoo Ply" man. Here ls the proof: So from her babe, when slumber seeks his eye, The watchful mother wafts the evenom'd fly. [Pope. Far as the mother warts the ii}-?aside That haunts her slumbering babe. [Cowper. As when a mother, while her child is wrapped In sweet slumber, scares away the fly. [Brvont. THE SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD COMPLETED.-President Isaacs last evening re? ceived a telegram from Superintendent Gadsden, announcing that the gap wh Ich has until now ex? isted on the line ot that road h ad been closed, the "last spike" having been driven at 2.15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 3 o'clock an engine and tram passed over the road from Georgia lato South Carolina, and wiU return to Savannah to? day. Next week, it ls to be hoped that we shall have the trains running regularly between Cheleston and Savannah, in connection with the Northeastern Railroad, when, we hear, there will be a shortening of the schedule between this and the Northern cities, enabling ns to receive our first Northern mail at a much earlier hour than at present. CRUMBS.-The Hibernian Society are making extensive preparations for their annual dinner on St. Patrick's Day. Mr. Parker, host of the Mills House, has been selected as caterer for the occa? sion. The surgeon of the French sloop-of-war Limier, accompanied by the French Consul, visited the City Hospital yesterday. Thc ohtmlng or the church bells, and the num? ber of persons who attended religious services yesterday, betokened the commencement ? of Lent. Though amusements are interdicted for forty days by the "unco' good and rigidly righteous," the Academy or Music was well attended last night, and Lent did not interfere seriously with the popularity of "Humpty Dumpty." Many of our readers remember little Zoe De Lave, the daring performer on thc flying trapeze. She fell In Baltimore last Monday night, and was seriously injured, so seriously, indeed, that the council of that city have prohibited such exhibi? tions In future. MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE.-Tho meeting of thc Board of Trade was held last .night, for the first time, in the new rooms of thc board, a full description of which has already ap? peared in TUB NEWS. The meeting was called to ordor by A. H. Hay? den, Esq., president pro tem. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. On motion of Colonel z. Davis, a special com? mittee of three was ordered to be appointed to ex? amine the applications ot candidates for mem? bership. The chair appointed Messrs. Davis, Hanckel and B. L. White as the committee. On motion of Colonel Trenholm, the rule re? quiring an election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the president was scspendod by an unanimous vote. The Special Committee made their report, rec? ommending the election or all the candidates tor membership whose applications were submitted to them. OP moUon, thc rules were suspended and the following gentlemen were elected by acclama? tion: T. D. Claucy, W. J. Molyneaux, A. S. J. Perry, W. C. Davis, B. Grimball, 0. M. Sadler, D. Jennings, Hutson Lee, J. G. Marsh, A. 0. Stone, .W. R. Caldwell, Colonel Richard Lathers, T. D. Eason, A. Nachman, C. H. West, Jr., Alexander Calder, J. N. M. Wohltman. K. W. Lockwood, Jos. Bancrort, Jr., Charles K. Bates, C. W. Selgnlous, Jr., F. P. Selgnlous, John Archer, G. Y. Ancker, A. J. Harris, J. E. Smythe, G. W. Aimar. A communication rrom the secretary of the Charleston Chamber or Commerce, enclosing reso? lutions of condolence on the death ot the late Henry Cobla, was read, and the resolutions were ordered to bespread on the minutes. A communication from W. M. Lawton, Esq.. president of the South Carolina Instituto, in rela? tion to a State fair, to be held this fall in Charles? ton, was read, and referred to the Executive Committee. Mr. Steele offered thc rollowing : Resolved, That the present board of trustees, with thc-%ddttiou or three members or the board, to bc appointed by the chair, constitute the com? mittee to carry out t hc programme for celebrat? ing our comlug anniversary and holding the elec? tion of officers for the ensuing year, provided that the who! expense or the same do not ex? ceed two hundred and fifty dollars. Various other amendments were offered, and the resolution was then adopted. A committee was then appointed to examine the books of the treasurer. Colonel Vi. L. Trenholm, the predecessor in office of the late Henry Cobla, delivered a short and eloquent address upon the ure and services ol that gentleman, and submitted the following preamble and resolutions: Whei-eas. Henry Cobla, Esq., has been re? moved hy death rrom the trusts and honors which he worthily enjoyed, as the fruit of a lHe of actWe userulness, earnest purpose and steadsast probity; and whereas so valuable a citizen and so good a man is a great loss to thc community at large as well as to this association, or which he was the respected president; thererore, be it Resolved, Thar, the Charleston Board or Trade laments the death of Its president, Henry Cobla Esq., and wUl preserve upon its records this tribute to his memory; that his Integrity aud his industry earned tor bim the confidence ot the merchants c ' charleston, elevated him to civil office, and to the highest position In this association ; and that his career will be pointed to as au example worthy the imitation or all who may now be In the paths tn which ho set out lu lilts. Resolved, That the sympathies or the members or the Board or Trade are respectru ly offered to the family or the deceased. Revolved. That these resolutions be published, and that a copy be sent to the ramify. Captain George H. Walter, In seconding the resolution, spoke with great reeling of the many virtues or the late Mr. Cobla, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted. The Board of Trade then adjourned. AMUSEMENTS. The Academy of Music. The pantomime seems to be imbued with that peculiar property or "Badmington Bill," the fa? mous runner of Uxbridge, of being fresher with each "run" that lt makes. Last night Humpty Dumpty was greeted witti the usnul large num? ber of his friends. He was in the best spirits; trick followed trick with the usual rapidity; mis? chief fell upon Clown and Pantaloon with the usual inevitability ; many-colored Harlequin flashed his sword, and Columbine pirouetted her wiles to the usual delight of the audience. The glorious burlesque with which the performance opens passed ctr with the same eclat as on Mon? day and Tuesday evenings. The fourth appearance of Humpty Dumpty takes place this evening, and the eagerness with which seats are being engaged shows that every? body and his wife are going to be there. Patti. The announcement ls made In another column that Carlotta Patti, the renowned vocalist, will give ttirce concerts lu Charleston, commencing on Monday, the 14th instant, at Hibernian Hall. It is long since Carlotta was in America; she is, therefore, a stranger to us, and it will be well for us to know what she has been doing lu tue mean? time. The outbreak of the war hushed ail the singing birds, and Carlotta, scared at the noise and smoke, flew to Europe. She made her debut at the Covent Garden Theatre, and roused bluff John Bull to such a pitch of enthusiasm that he began to compare her with Jenny Lind and Cata Un?. After having sung two months in concerts, she w- nt. up a step higher, and sang at thc Court of St. James. Her tlrst appearance In Franco was quite as pronounced a success as that on thc other side of the Channel. Thence she set out upon a tour of conquest, and in rapid and brilliant succession captured Rouen. Brussels. Liege, Amsterdam and Antwerp. She then invaded Germany, the very home of the critics, and set off all their pens into musical skyrockets by her original talent and brilliancy of style. Even In Vienna, the abode of mr.sic, her success was unmistakable. Bremen, Dresden, Breslau and Prague next hung oat the white flag of surrender. Madgebnrg, Lelpslc, Hanover and Berlin followed snit. In the last named city she was elevated to the rank of diva, and placed beside her sister, Adelina. Back to Paris, the testing place of singers, an ordeal which they all dread, because the Parisians, notwithstanding the proverbial Gallic conrtesy, will express likes and dislikes much more forci? bly than love. Again it was victory, although she was singing against the prestige of Adelina and the presence of Nilsson. The Emperor gave her an audience at St. Cloud. Auber, Gounod, Rossini and Ambrolse Thomas ?poke enthusiasti? cally or and to her, and with these expressions of sympathy and favor, she set out upon her last tour to Russia, Constantinople, Moldavia and Wallachia. The Owskis Urginoffs or one coun? try, th.*; solemn and many wived Turks of the other, and the decayed nobility of the last, all yielded to the charms of her voice. It ls unnecessary to speak in detail of the wel? come which ha3 greeted her in this, her own country. It could not bntbe hearty and unanimous, and though it can add little splendor to the dia? dem of the acknowledged queen of 6ong, It ls not a vain fancy to believe that her reception, in the land where she tuned her earliest notes, wakens a more soul-inspired and soul-Inspiring melody than that which has entranced her listeners in so many strange lands. An 111 Starred Troupe-Gran Come to Grief. The Savannah Au.ertlser states that la that city, on Monday morning, the several creditors of Grau'8 Opera Troupe filed their complaints with Justice P. M. Russell, Jr.. and attachments were issued to the amount of above $1000 to satisfy the several claims. All the property, wardrobes, stage property, Ac, belonging to the troupe, and said to be worth three or four thousand dollars, were seized, and arc now lu the hands of the magistrate. What will be done In thc premises remains to be seen. The company contest the matter on the ground that the property did not in any way belong to Mr. Grau, and could not bc held for his debts. Which ever way the affair ls settled, we fear it will forever put a quietus upon the German Opera In this section. A VISIT TO CMARLESTON. Impressions of Its Present Appearance Improvements-Thc South Carolina Railroad-The Academy of Music General Liveliness of thc City. ColonelJames A. Hoyt, of thc Anderson Intel? ligencer, who recently paid a.flying visit to Charles? ton, thus pleasantly sketches In his paper his im? pressions of things In our city: Charleston ls steadily Improvlngjicr commerce and business rclatlous with tho world, and ls not neglecting the comfort, convenience ?iud happi? ness of Its citizens. Evidences are plenty that the people are recovering from the dreadful ef? fects of war; and amid the whirl and hum ot busy life, it is easily forgotten that only a few years since the world gazed anxiously towards the "City by the Sea" for tidlugs of heroic defence and intrepid conduct among the brave men upou her ramparts. Yet. with the coming or material prosperity, we know that her people ure not un? mindful of the past, and tenderly cherish the memories that cluster around those days of sor? row and anguish. One or the most gratifying facts coming to our knowledge, In a business point of view, is thc action of the South Carolina Railroad in deter? mining to extend Its track to thc water's edge, and thus save ar. enorruuus sum to the mcrcau tiIc:cominun!ty. The drayage on goods arriving in that port and destined tor Hie Interior has al? ways been a great nuisance, but lt hos been more seriously felt since the war, as thc majority of business men make closer calculations and work for smaller profits than lu the "good old davs." This advance ou the part of the South Carolina Road is an indication, too, that thc laggard policy heretofore governing that corporation is about to succumb to the activity and enterprise dawning upon our people, and which will rehabilitate thc old commonwealth, in our judgment, and restore wealth and permanent prosperity. The burnt district or Charleston has assumed a more cheerful aspect in the past year, and an oc? casional new building, with substantial enclos? ures, diminishes the Tearful traces of the great Dre. We observed greater attention, in other parts of the city, to the outward appearance or residences and businesi houses, and that the quantity foi paints and oils now consumed was considerably lucreased. to the decided advantage and improvement of the city. The Academy or Music, corner of King and Market streets, ls an Imposing structure, and its Interior admirably arranged. The theatre ranks among the most finished of Its kind lu the United States, and ls certainly adapted to the wants and necessities of Charleston. Manager Ford is quite popular In the city, ami has furnished elegant and chasteenteriainmcnis throughout the winter.

Thc old postortlce building, on East Bay. was frequently penetrated by shells, and bears the myst numerous marks ol' thc siege. The Charleston Hotel continues to be the great? est resort of travellers, and ls justly recorded as the best regulated and most elegatitly furnished house lu the Southern country.

Baker, D. D. At a meeting of tho Hibernian Society, held at their hall on Tuesday evening, theist of March, the following preamble, and resolutions were adopted: Once more the messenger of death has visited our circle, and taken from onr ranks a most val? ued and distinguished member. On the 30th day or January, 1870, the Very Rev. R. S. BAS HR, ripe in years and In the fullness of his usefulness, re? turned his spirit to the power that gave lt. The pall which this sad event has thrown over his de? voted congregation now hangs over our hall, and shades In gloom the festivities or this hour. It ls offr lot to mourn, In common with religion, over his tomb, and it ls our sad duty in token of our appreciation to offer a fitting tribute to his worth. But a rew yea? separated his advent to America from the arrival of his renowned Iriend, Bishop England. Ho came to America a stranger, and made Carolina his home, and upon her soil he preferred to die. Under the auspices of Bishop England, he was installed Into the ministry of the Catholic Church, and his learning and piety ns a priest, and his girts as an orator, soon became es? tablished. His connection with our Society dates back to the laying of the corner-stone of this edi? fice. He witnessed thc foundation and formation or Irish character and sentiment in Charleston, and by his virtues and his talents he has contrib? uted to the strength and durability or the struc? ture. Blending the inspirations or genius with thc graces or the scholar, his record is an honor to his birthplace and an ornament to his adopted country. Thczealous aud consistent advocate of truth and religion, he was no less the devoted friend and lover of liberty and mankind. He hated tyranny, and loved his country more be? cause of her resistance to it. Bc was a great orator, and patterned himself ofter thc Greek school. His style united the polished elegance or the Roman and the classic strength or the Athe? nian with the fervid and Impetuous glow ot thc Irish. His tastes did not lead him often to social communion with us, but his soul rejoiced in onr prosperity, and he treasured every relic or our as? sociation. Let his virtues be remembered, and his memory embalmed. Resolved, That In the death ot thc Very Rev. R. S. BAKER, religion has lost an able advosate, Irishmen a true friend, and this society a distin? guished member. Resolved, That this society tenders and mingles Its condolence with the other bodies with which he was affiliated, and feels his loss to be a com? mon bereavement. Resolved, That a page In the mlnntc book of the Society be dedicated to his memory, and that this preamble and resolutions be published In the daily papers ot thc city. Extract from the Minutes. W.

This ls a most desirable object in a practical, scriptural and medical sense-by attending to the latter, the two former can be achieved. Tone the stomach, that your digestion may be perfect; rouse and stimulate the torpid liver, that yonr complexion may be clear, your appetite good aud your eyes lustrous and intelligent; regulate the bowels and keep them up to a healthy standard; brace up your weakened nerves, that you may no longer be nervous or hysterical; Im? prove your general health, that you may be en? abled to go through lire rejoicing. The great remedy to bring about this desirable end ls thc medicated compound that ls universal? ly used, SOLOMON'S BITTERS. mehi tnths3_ pS-TEE SEASON AND ITS DANGERS. The human body ls chiefly composed of tissues and fibres, as sensitive to every chango In the condition of the atmosphere as the most delicate electrometer, or thc quicksilver in a barometer tube. Tho stomach, the skin, the nerves, tho lungs, and the excretory organs are especially liable to be affected by these variations, and the best de? fence against their disastrous tendency is to keep the digestive machinery, which feeds and nour? ishes the whole system, in good working order. If the stomach ls weak or disordered, neither the blood nor the bile oan be in a healthy state; and upon the fltness of these two important fluids for thc offices assigned to them by nature, and the regularity of then- flow, health in a great measure depends. When the air Is heavily laden with chilling va? pors, as it often ls at this season of the year, the digestion should be an object of peouliar care. If lt ls weak and languid, the whole physical struc? ture will be enervated. If lt is vigorous, the en? tire organization will .be strong to resist the un? toward and depressing influence of a damp and vitiated atmosphere. A pure and powerful tonic ls therefore espe? cially needed as a safeguard against thc diseases most common in thc spring; and nOSTRTTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, being thc most whole? some and potent medlclae of the class at present known, a course of lt ls particularly ad? visable ut this period of thc year. The stomach will thereby bc toned and strengthened, the liver and bowels regulated, the nervous system braced up, and nature put in a state of activo defence against the miasma which superinduces inter? mittent and remittent fevers, rheumatism, ner? vous debility, headache, hypochondria and other complaints which aro apt to assail the an toned and unfortified organizations. The body ls strengthened without exciting tho brain, and consequently no unpleasant reaction follows its reviving and renovating operation. feb28 6 p3-m MORE MEDICINE.-SEVENTY thousand cures without medicine by DuBarry's delicious REVA'LENTA ARABICA FOOD, which eradicates dyspepsia, indigestion, acidity, nausea, vomiting, wasting, diabetes, sleeplessness, cougn, asthma, consumption, debility, constipation, diar? rhoea, palpitation, nervous, billons, liver and stomach complaints.
