OBSTRUCTIVE FIRE IX HAMBURG.- Thc Ham? burg Brewery, Messrs. Legier Bros., proprietors, was nearly destroyed by fire late Wednesday uig'it. Their los3 is estimated at about $5000. CITY/ TAXES.-The time for thc payment of | City taxes has been extended to the 20th instant, when twenty per cent, will be added to all who fail to go up and pay their flrst third. We call particular attention to the no*ice of the City Treasurer In to-day's NEWS, as the twenty per cent, will ocrtalnly be added to all delinquents. OUR PRICES CURRENT.-WC especially invite thc attention of our merchants to THE NEWS Prices Current, Issued this morning. Made up -?-Uh the utmost care, and handsomely printed with entirely new type, lt forms, with the busi? ness card of the house forwarding it. the most attractive and welcome weekly commercial cir ctijftr that can be used. Price, for ten copies or more, with business cards two and a hair ccats per copy; single copies five cents. PATBNT HARROW AND SEED-SOWER.-In the American Artisan of April C, we find an engrav? ing and a description or the patent harrow and seed-sower, Invented by Mr. Augustine L. Taveau. Tills Invention ls spoken of very highly, and was awarded a first class premium and gold medal at the late Maryland Agricnltnral State Fair. Mr. Taveau ls a Charlestonlan, who emigrated after the war to Chaptico, St. Mary's County, Mary? land, where he now resides. SOUTH CAROLINA CENTRAL.-The Sumter Watchman learns that a corps ot engineers, or which Mr. George Earle is chief, ls now engaged m making the permanent survey or location of the South Carolina Central Railroad, and that the work of grading has commenced at Gourdln's. ' This looks like something practical. The bope is entertained or being able to reach Sumter in twelve months. The people of Clareadon are moving In th's matter In earnest, aod through the energy of Dr. J. J. Ingram and others, the subscriptions In land have been considerably in? creased. Clarendon greatly needs railroad facili? ties, and we trust the efforts in this direction may prove successful. "WHAT A MOON !"-To-night we will have an unusually large moon. In January, and also in March, there were two new moons, while In the Intervening February there was no moon; which is a combination of very rare occurrence, not having taken place for at least forty years past, back to A. D. 1830, further than which this deponent has not calculated. This peculiarity arises simply from the form of our arbitrary cal? endar. But still more worthy of note is the natu? ral fact, that we have an exact concurrence of full moon with the perigee of the mooa's orbit; a: which time the moon's apparent size is the largest it ever is. Such an occurrence cannot come oftener than once in twenty years (and 107 days,) and one so exact as this one is not likely to occur for several centuries. CRUMBS.-Yesterday was Thursday of Holy Week, sometimes termed Maundy-Thursday or the day of thc mandate, "Do this in remembrance . of Me.? The market will be closed at 9 o'clock this morning. The i cw steamer or the German Fire Company is expected on the steamship Charleston, which will arrive to-day. C?ptala T. B. Johnston has assumed the duties of postmaster at Sumter, and contemplates some decided Improvements In the present building, looking to the comfort and convcnlcuce of the community. D. 0. Clark, A. Jackson and A. Smith have boen elected trustees of the public schools for the school district of Christ Church Parish. .SORGHUM RKFINER.-Quite a number ol our citizens yesterday visited the refinery of Mr. F. G. Cart, (on East Bay.) one or the firm of the Stewart Manufacturing and Refining Company, of Kentucky, to witness the experiment of manu? facturing first-class sugar and syrup from the Imphee cane. The experiments were eminently satisfactory. It seems to us that it would bc ad? vantageous for our planters to make their own sugar and syrups. The cane which will yied from one to two hundred gallons of syrup to the aoref is a certain crop, as weather does not in the least affect it. Thc machinery necessary for the manufacture of thc sugar and syrup is very cheap, and not at all complicated. The matter is worth the attention of planters and others. Thc experiments will be carried on from day to day. The public are invited to attend. GOOD FRIDAY.-Yesterday was Thursday of | Holy Week, sometimes termed Maundy-Thursday, or the day of the mandate, "Do this ia remem? brance of Me." It ls followed by Good Friday, which is set apart to commemorate the crucifix ion or Jesu*, in Bogland, Good Friday and Christmas arc thc only close holidays of the year, w lien the shops arc all closed and the churches opened. The day is observed in the Greek, Ro? man. Anglican and Episcopal Churches as a sol? emn period ol prayer and fasting. In tho Catho? lic Churches of this city thc prescribed services for thc day, the Mass of tue Prcaanctlfled and the Veneration of thc Cross, will take place. Good Friday ls followed by Easter Even, the last day of Lent. It is a vigil. The flrst Easter Even was a High Sabbath; now it ls but a Satur day, upon which, in quiet and sadness, are held the concluding services of Lent. UNITED STATES COURT-HON. GBOROH S.

O ?BE ARMERS AND PLANTERS. Alerting of the Charleston County Agricultural anti Horticultural Society. A meeting of* this society was held in the Market Hall last night-Charles Macbeth, Esq., presiding. The minutes of the lust meeting were read and confirmed.

The report was received as information, and the thanks of the society tendered to all indi viduals and associations mentioned therein as contributing works to the society. Dr. Horibeck read a letter from Hon. Wm. Gilmore Simms accepting the invitation to de livcr the opening address before the floral exhi? bition or tho society in May. The letter was re? ceived. The president read a letter rrom the Agricul? tural Society or South Carolina, calling the atten? tion or the society to a resolution recently passed, requesting the members of the Charleston Coun? ty Socloty to become members of the old State Society. The president stated that lt was the Impression that thc sosiety which tendered thc invitation had dbsolred, but this was not so; that the socie? ty's charter wa3 perpetual, and if this society de? sired to accept the Invitation lt would be only to drop Its name and change lt to that of the Agri? cultural Society of South Caroliaa, each member or this joining that society and unite with the old members of the other society, and work under its charter and privileges.

In every church thc Repository containing the Sacrament was decorated with flowers and bril? liantly lighted/and all showed marks or the care and attention lavished upon them by ibe mern hers or the congregation. At thc Cathedral Chapel thc alinr was adorned with flowers of striking hue, and thC3c, with tho shining lamps and glowing decorations, made the whole structure almost gorgeous in its richness of beauty. At St. Patrick's thc altar was arranged In pyra? midal form. Flowers and glancing lights were in profusion, and thc pallid beauty of the Dead Christ gleaming out from the mass of sombre green, gave a charming finish to tho graceful scene. After night all thc building was twinkling with light, the myriad of tapers being the gift of the generous congregation. At St. Joseph's, also, thc decoration* were in every way worthy of the church and the occasion. This church drew to its silent aisles a long linc of worshippers. At St. Mary's, thc Lady Altar was changed Into a repository, the High Altar standing bleak and bare as the wood of the bitter Cross. The Reposi? tory was draped with elaborate curtains of thread lace, and were looped np with crowns or natural violets. Thc steps of the Repository were veiled by massive vases of choice exotics, while thc twinkling tapers and soberly burning lights of high degree, gave the crowning charm to all thc graceful work. St. Peter's Church was very handsomely deco? rated. The pillars of thc alt.:r were twined with evcrg cens, and the altar steps and altar were adorned with a profusion of flowers. An abun? dance of lights made the church a brilliant sight, and all the decorations w.rc Tich and In good taste. The colored Catholics are evidently rond of their little church.

No wonder that the miserable marty to indigestion ls fretful, Irritable and unsocial. Whoever can bear the pangs of this tormenting complaint cheerfully and with an unruffled tem? per, ls little shore of a saint. Bat why sbould human fortitude continue to be thus severely tried, when an abs oin te sp?cifie for the disease is always at hand. Everywhere within the limits or civilization In this hemisphere, HOTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls obtainable, and the history of the flrst case or dyspepsia In which lt has been administered In vain, has yet to bo written. The sickness at the stomach, the sense of weakness and stupor, thc feeling of emptiness and hollow, ness before eating, and of oppression afterwards, the fluttering or the pulse, tho intenso nervous Ir? ritation, the morbid indisposition to exertion, the weariness of life and indifference to all its plea? sures, which are among thc symptoms of the dis? ease in Its chronic form, are rapidly ameliorated hy the tonic operation of this palatable vegetable restorative, which seems to renovate and quicken all thc dormant forces of thc system, and rouse thc mind from the apathy and gloom Inseparable rrom a derangement of the digestive and secre? tive functions. In erdlnary cases, a few weeks suffices :o complete the cure, -but when the dis? ease ls complicated, as lt ofrea ia, with torpidity of the liver, severe constipation, impurity of the blood, and a sluggish circulation, a longer time may be required. Persevere, however, and the result ls certain. Au encouraging Improvement will be perceptible from day to day, and thc con? valescent, knowing and feeling that he or she ls on the high road to health, will await the happy issue with comparative patience._aprl5 6 pa* LIEBIG'S COMPANY'S EXTRACT OF MEAT secures great economy and conveni? ence In housekeeping, and excellence lu cooking.
