SNOW IN APRIL.-The Union Times says: "On Sunday morning last we were visited by a severe storm or wind, Snow, sleet and hall, hist? ing from two- tV three hours. A gentleman coming from Spartanburg during the atorm in? formed us-that thc snow and holt fell thick upon him for at least two hours. We well remember the storm of 3unday, the 15th of April, 1S49. On that occasion the eaovr fcU In Columbia two Inches deep, and was followed by a severe black frost, killing every vestige of vegetation. Many at that time had thinued out their cotton, and corn was up and promising well; but although thc storm of last Sunday was two days later, it did not find any cotton to destroy, and ha: little corn lu this section has had time to appear above ground since it was planted."

Tho Abbeville Press regrets to learn that tba JSpiscopal Church building at Willington, in Ab? beville District, under the pastor*! charge of Rev. O. T. Porcher, was totally con?nmed by fire on .Friday night last. It was clearly the work or au Incendiary, but we have heard no probable cause assigned which could have prompted the ac:. No business wa3 transacted in the United States or State Courts on Saturday. A colored girl and her friend have been ar? rowed chargea with stealing $500 from Mr. Kruse. A course ot lectures will be delivered at the Morris Street Church, commencing this evening. E. M. Brawley, W. F. Kalrson and J. H. Ralney are the speakers.

A SAVANNAH MERCHANT IN TROUBLE.-A merchant of Savannah, Ga., arrived in New York a few days ago, having gone North to purchase a quantity or rurniture from the manufacturers of that etty and Boston. By Saturday afternoon, April 2, he had transacted all his business, and was preparing to go home on Sunday evening; but at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon an emissary of deputy sheriff Banckcr arrested him. -and would not carry him to a friend for ball until $20 had been paid. But by the time the mer chant got to his friend, it was too late to get ball, and he was sent to the Ludlow street jail. The charge against him was that he had conspired to defraud, made by a certain Frank, whom this mer? chant did not know, and for whose arrest six warrants were at that same time out He is au Irresponsible man, not worth a cent, aud Imme? diately after signing his affidavit disappeared. On Wednesday, Judge Loew granted an order for the immediato release of the merchant, who, on the complaint of an irresponsible defrauder, had been caused great anxiety aud lost hair a week of valuable time, been put to an expense of $200, aud lost, but nat least, been subjected to the con? trol or a brutal officer. The merchant has re? turned to Savannah, bnt he has brought a com jiiajp: against this Frank for malicious arrest, ?and-thc case ls now in the hands of a lawyer of that city. ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES OF THE ST. JOHN'S ?ICTOERAN SI'KDAT-SCHOOL.-The anniversary ex? ercises or thu school took place la the church yes? terday afternoon, and were or a very Interesting character.

Richardson and family were out In a sall boat on the A3hiey River, A storm came up and npset i:. and while all were Itt the water, this little boy "was heard to exclaim, "Let me drown, but save 'my mother!"

TUE GEEMAS FIRE COM? PANY.-AS stated by THE NEWS of Saturday, the new steamer of the German Fire Company ar? rived on la3t Friday. It was carried to Chief Engineer Nathan's carriage repository, and on Saturday was visited by a majority of the firemen of the city, all or whom pronounced her a model of strength and beauty. She is the only first-class steamer in the department, and was made by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company or Manches? ter, New Hampshire. She co? $4750, and weighs six thousand three hundred pounds. She has two double acting vertical pumps, foar and three eighths inches In diameter, eight Inch stroke, two small fee l-pump3 to supply the boiler, indepen? dent of any supply from the main pump, and two steam ? cylinders seven and a half-Inches la diameter. She is so arranged that she can be hauled either by men or horses. The wood-work ls painted in green and gold, which, with the elegant lamps, the profusion of Princess metal and German silver, gives her a highly orna? mental finish. On the right hand side of the boiler is a shield of Gcrtnau silver, on which is in? scribed, "German Fire Company, Charleston, S. C., Instituted May 15th, 1SU3-In Augustus amid apparent.'7 On the rear portion of the steamer, In large brass letters, is the Inscription, "Onr William," lu compliment to the faithful secretary of the company, Mr. Wm. Brunges. The main lamp, over the air chamber, is of German silver, and ground In the glass on two sides ls the name of the company, and on another side ls the name "German," within a wreath, at the lower portion ot which is a representation or a fireman's hat over axes crossed, and onanotherslde a represen? tation of a fireman in full uniform. The steamer ts guaranteed to throw a stream or water two hundred and fifty feet, but will doubtless throw further. She will be tried to-day. DEATH KC THE AIR-TERRIBLE REPORTS TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT.-Early Saturday morning, the whole of the wharf section or our city was thrown into a violent state or excite? ment, by the reports that there were several thousand ton3 or powder on the North Atlantic wharf. No one seemed to kuow how mu sh pow? der there was; so. c said one hundred and twenty thousand tons, others seventy-five thousand, others forty thousand, but all were agreed that there were certainly not less thau twenty thou? sand tons. Property owners were naturally In? dignant that their property should bc exposed to destruction. The reports flew about the city with the rapidity that bricks, bodies,- Ac, wonld have done, if the aforesaid powder had gone off; and the excitement rapidly increased, as did the dis? tance of a great many persons from the vicinity of the powder after they heard the reports-of the amount btored on thc wharf. A visit to the so-called dangerous spot showed that on Monday last the steamship Victor, bound from New Orleans to New York with a cargo of damaged ri rle cartridge ammunition, had put in here lu distress with her rudder bro j ken. Permission was asked and given to place some of the ammunition on the North Atlantic wharf, alonside of which she lies, to lighten the vessel, and several thousand boxes were there placed. As the ammunition was damaged by water there was no danger ol'explosion, but some one having mentioned that there was powder there, the story was circulated and grew in size until there was, accordiug to report, enough pow? der to shatter the whole of this and the adjoining States, if it could have exploded. The vessel is now reloading and will probably leave this after? noon-when fae powder will certainly go on*. However, the placing af any powder on the wharves is prohibited br an ordinance, which provides that all powder must be unloaded in the stream and carried to the powder magazine up the river. It is but justice to state that a great mauy fear? ed an explosion on the wharf among the vessels, only because lt might euable some one to get off another "Casablanca" poem for juvenile declama? tions, such as The boy steod on the burning deck. Eating peanuts by the peck; His rather called him. but he would not go, Because he loved the peanuts so. As there seems te be no use for another "Casa? blanca''-the juvenile orators holding on to the old one with a deathless grasp-we trost that there will be no explosion. BUSINESS ENTKLOPKS.-THE NEWS Job Office Ls now prepared to famish good envelopes, with business cards printed thereon, at $4 per thous? and. Send your orders. Every merchant and business man should hare hts card printed en his envelopes. FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-The Savan nah Republican learns from dispatches received in that city from Jessup, a station on thc Macon and Brunswick Railroad, on Friday night, that a serious accident occurred on that day to the ex? cursion train on the Macon and Brunswick Rail? road, by which four or tl ve persons were killed outright, and a number more or less seriously in? jured. It appears that an excursion party was made up at Qultman, Valdo3ta and other places on the line of road, for a visit to Brunswick. Thc train ljeft Qultman Friday morning and proceed? ed on its way without accident until it reached a point sixteen miles from Brunswick, when, in crossing a trestle, the cribbing gave way and pre? cipitated the cars containing thc excursionists a considerable distance to the swamp below. A tel? egram states that four or live persons were killed outright, and several others seriously wounded. No names or further particulars are given. A special train, with medical and other aid, was dispatched from Savannah to the scene of disas? ter late Friday night. It is understood that many ladles were on board the excursion train. THI: RICHINGS OPERA COM PANT.-The mem? bers or this popular company arrived iu Charles? ton yesterday, and will appear at thc Academy of Mu-ic for the first time to night. Thc leading singers are warmly praised by the press of the whole South, and the power and skill ot thc chorus and orchestra are lauded to the skies. In the chorus (now In Charleston) there arc twenty five trained singers, and the orchestra has about half that number of skilful musicians. The strength or the company in these particulars will enable them to give Charleston the best operatic performances we have had since the war. To-night the company will perform Wallace's opera "Maritaua," which, ia many respects, 13 at the head ot English operatic compositions. The plot or the opera ls that or the drama or "Don Cosar de Bazan," aud turns upon the plots ot King Charles, of Spain, against Maritana, a young Gitana, of whom the gay Monardl is enam? oured. Of course, virtue triumphs, and Maritana and Doa Ctesar live happily forever afterward. The music is bright and catching, and will, we feel confident, be delivered In first-rate style. A number o' new windows or ventlllatora have been cut in the Academy, and will keep thc house cool In the warmest weather. XIXTH CENTURT.-The May number of this excellent magazine ls ont earlier than usual, showing that there has been new lire and energy infused into tts management, which argues well for the future. The number before ua is full of exceedingly Interesting and entertaining read? ing matter, many of the articles showing evi? dences of marked ability in their preparation. "Moma Elverley, or Outlines of Life," by Mrs. Durant Covington, increases in Interest, and "Hester's Warnlng.'a Story for Girls," is also pleasing and well written. Ex-Governor B. F. Perry furnishes this month one of his pleasingly written "Reminiscences," the subject being "Ex president Andrew Johnson." Probably no per? son in the country ls better able to write a sketch of President Johnson's Ufo than Governor Perry, and he relates many incidents that have never before been made public. Wm. Gilmore Simms contributes another interesting article upon the literary progress of South Carolina, In which he disentombs from the past names of writers and authors the very remembrance of whom has long passed away. The article on "The Revolutionary Character or the United States Government" con? tains some of the strongest and most unanswer? able charges that have yet been made against Radical rule. As the articles emanate from Washington, the writer, whoever he ls, ls fully posted In what he writes about, and evidently speaks bj the book. "Life la New York"' gives a heartrending sketch of the [squalor and poverty existing In that great metropolis, and delineates sr ,nes the very exUtence of which are unknown i > Southern readers. An illustration accompa? nies this article. "Johnny Rob" gives this num? ber a graphic story or the war. The usual mis? cellany ls found In the "Editorial Workshop," "Passes en Passant" and "Olia Podrida." The publishers announce that this number finishes the first year of the magazlue, and that their aim will be to make the publication next year superior In every respect to what lt has been thus far. Our people will do well to add their quota toward Its support, as lt ls a home Institu? tion, In whose success they may Justly feel a per? sonal pride. All such enterprises lend to ad vance the Interests of Charleston abroad, by calling the attention or strangers to our section of the country, and by creating a favorable Im? pression or oar steady advancement in literary as well as financial matters. Let the XIXth Cen? tury and all kindred publications be well sus? tained. Hotel Arrivals, April 33 and il. Cn AULE!,TON HOTEL. John Whiteside?, Mount Pleasant; George M. Glover, Dr. Harvey, D. J.
