A modest sign, in a certain alley, announces "House cleaning done here;" which ls as mach as to say, "Bring along your houses, ladles, we will clean them." 4 The pitiful appeal, '.'Please give me a penny to bay Borne bread," la not often made ls our streets; still it is sometimes heard and unheeded hythe passers-by who may, perhaps, have Just expended nab* a dollar for a fancy drink. - A pertinent query Is, whether the newly elect? ed aldermen are no: competent to fill at least the vacancies In the present Connell without walting for November. . _ THE WEEKLY NEWS. -The demand for frast Friday's issue or THE NEWS, containing - the loll results of the election, was- so great mat although an extra edition of eight hundred copies was printed many were unable tb procure the paper.

Grant, Ashley Career and Hector Brown, the three colored, youths who wounded Wm. w. Mitchell, a white boy, In the ankle, were brought before Trial Jus? tice SchrodeTyesterday afternoon and examined on the charge of an. assault with a deadly weapon. lt was proved* that Mitchell, a match vendor, was Bitting quietly on a log on Market wharf, when he was approached by these :hree young fiend?, who are au about his own age. The boy Career squatted down beside Mitchell, and, seizing the latter's foot pulled ls into his lap, using, "Whose foot 13 this?" Mitchell replied that lt was his. Career then said he wanted "a little piece of it and would cut lt off." Grant then spoke up and said he would cut lt, and going to the third boy he bor? rowed a knife. With the knife la bis hand he sneaked np behlnjl the boy Mitchell, who was stUl. Bitting, made a cut at his foot, and Inflicted a deep gash jost above the Instep, which severed the large sinew. Mitchell began to cry, and the boy who cot him then ran off, previously returning the knife to Brown. Some white boys who were near went to the assistance of Mit _ aeli, and escort? ai him to Trial Justice Schroder's office, where the boy made a statement of the above facts, arter which he was taken to Dr. Yates's office, where his wonnd was dressed. Grant and Ashley were committed to jail for tr lal at the next term of the Court of General .Session?. Brown was released upon giving security for bis appearance at the trial as a witness. i 'll!-: HERMIT OF KING'STREET. Quaint R?miniscence? of Taj lo r's Shoe Store-An Antediluvian Slercnant. The unseemly little house betwea Mr. Schuchmann'3 and Mr. Oorwiu's stores, on the we3t side of King street, known in bygone times as Taylor's shoe store, bas beea purchased by Mr. J. C. H. Claussen, who ls about to erect' in its stead a handsome building. In the lower story of this projected building will be conducted the branch establishment of Mr. Claussen's celebra* ted bakery, the present store-next to the Masonic Hall belog about to be pulled down for the con? struction of the new Masonic temple. The little one Btory store with its dingy red brick front and three false rusty green windows above, has long been a mystery to the King street com? munity. The youthful members have their ghost* ly stories about the place and its mysterious in? habitant The older portion of the community recollect well the palmy days of Taylor's shoe store, when bona fide bcots and shapely shoes were retailed by the eccentric occupant. The building is owned by Mr. Thos. R. Taylor, and was built by him after the great fire in the spring or '33. It has always been a shoe store, conduct? ed on his own principles by the qnalnt owner. People went In, salted themselves and purchased, with no words from the proprietor except to state the price. The store was kept dark.and in the even? ing illuminated by a ' few old-fashioned oil ?amps. There was' no naring, pretentious gas about the establishment-all was gloomy and quiet. Up to the war the occupant was only seen by outsiders when he hung up* a few samples of his stock outside. In this way things went on until the war. TheshelllDg Crove -other people np town, but not so the shoe-dealer. Nothing stirred him. Once he was seen outside when a fragment or shell rudely burst through his domi? cile. One night he was.?ntipednp town, bat the: old hermit feeling was too Strong, and early next morning he was again In hi's sanctum." No-one lived with him. Easiness was dull during the war and after lt. The shoe trade was merely nominal with the silent storekeeper. The store was not even opened. The'windows remained closely barred, and a partially'-opened door only served to make the darkness visible in the gloomy recess of the store* No one can recollect of thc store being opened since the war. The proprietor was frequently requested to sell, but the store was part of his existence,, and he refused until successive mortgages brought on a sale, and Mr. Claussen ls the pur? chaser. The yard at the back, as seen from the . neighboring houses, is grown up' with weeds and brash, and ls a feature of the place. The chil? dren peep in and Bee an old man with a long white beard, seated In the darkness, and start back as from a ghost. The quiet, however, wu! be soon broken, and-the hermit of King' street, in bis old age, must seek another resting place. A few doors below, the popular lace store or Mr. Read is undergoing repairs, and will soon appear in all the glories or a stylish modern front. Quite a crowd was collected opposite lt yesterday af? ternoon as the workmen were engaged m holst* lng a massive cast-iron front piece, weighing over 6000 pounds, to Its place.' The Job is in the hands or Mr. Devereux, and when competed the store will be one of the handsomest placet, ^r the kind In the city. ^_ THE COMINO THEATRICAL, SEASON.-The theatre-goers of Charleston, always critical In their histrionic tastes, are given the promise of a rare series of attractions daring the approaching seaeon at the Academy of Music. It ls, of conree, .too early to attempt any detailed or accurate de? scription of the arrangements that will be per re ct ed before the opening of the season in Octo? ber,- hut negotiations are >T:OW pending between Mr. J. L. Moses, the business 'agent of the Acad? emy, and such acknowledged stars as Lester Wei- ? lack, Edwin Forrest, "Joe" Jefferson, Miss , Lydia Thompson, Madame Jananschek, and a , dozen others - of hardly less -celebrity, , which have already resulted In the engagement , of all those named, the only matter or detail still pending being the terms for whick the several en- ; gagements Bhonld be made, and the order in . which the respective companies shall occupy the , theatre. Ia the meantime the Academy ls under- , going considerable repairs and refurnishing, which will add to its already numerous attrac? tions to the rashlonable amu;ement-seekers ot the winter of lS"l-'2. A RADICAL BOOMERANG.-The Columbia Union has taken occasion recently to devote some j space to what we suppose it considers a criti? cism of the memorial address of the Rev. Dr. , Glrardeau, delivered on the occasion of the rein- i tennent of the Confederate dead from the battle* j field of Gettysburg. The Union's ai tide calls for < no reply, because It does not attain to that de? gree of courtesy, pertinence or coherence which j wonld entitle it to be called criticism, and it will j be passed by as simply a vituperative, illogical ? and personal attack, innocuous because directed i against one so thoroughly known, respected and beloved as the reverend gentleman named. IIB ? production at this time should, however, and ? doubtless will, have the Incidental good result ot* ? inducing many to read for themselves the memo- : rial address of Dr.* Glrardeau, which t -ally con? tains no sentiment or expression unworthy of tito patriotic and pions author, or unbecoming a : minister of the Gospel' of Peace. It may be ? found on Bale at the book-Btores for the benefit of the memorial fund, and should be read and re- j membered by every Carolinian. A^RTING TESTIMONIAL.-The guests ot the ' MUls House last evening participated in a very pleasant affair, the occasion being thWieparture of Mr. Frank Roach, one of the gentlemanly and efficient, clerks of that establishment, for the North, and the presentation to him or an elegant? ly engrossed testimonial, reading as rollo WA, and signed by nearly every gentleman stopping at the house: MILLS HOUSE, CHARLESTON. S. C., Jnly 31. We, the undersigned guests and patrons of this hotel, desire to extend to Mr. Frank Roach Borne acknowledgment, of our appreciation or the uni? form courtesy that ho has always extended to us. ' In our relations wich him we have found him ever at his post, willing and obliging. And no matter where he may at some future time cast his lot, (sincerly hoping, however, that that future time may be far distant.) we are convinced from our pleasurable experience that his generous, manly conduct and mose qualities that make the gentle? man, which he possesses hi such an emi? nent dfgree, will at once make' bim the general favorite,' as beyond all doubt be ii, here. There are none who sign this bnt can with pleasure recall repeated -attentions and acts of kindness from him, wnloh, though perhaps seem? ing but .small at the time.; yet go far toward smoothing the path we tread through .lire. With one accord we wish him- happiness and success, and hope that his future days may always be as pleasant as ours have been through his endeavors dnnng our sojourn here. The presentation-was made by General Wm. Gurney in a few felicitous remarks,and responded to by the blushing recipient, with a casual refer? ence to the real pain he reit at the separation, and a supplementary allusion to the champagne that followed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Has -Charleston a polioe force ? Is it a paid department ? If BO, for what service rendered ' The writer ls frequently obliged to walk through the ciiy late In tbe evening, and sometimes to-i| wards midnight, acrcs3 in ; most densely popa lated portion, and can, or his own knowledge, testify that it ls an extremely rare occurrence to meet a policeman. Of late, he has failed to see J one, and a friend, whose duties call him In an op. poslte direction, diverging from the same point, makes a similar observation. On two recent oc? casions citizens have found it necessary to go to the Guardhouse to inform or are?, wblch had been burning fiercely without a general alarm. On Sunday afternoon, the residents of the west end or Spring street were disturbed, and many or them justly alarmed, by the outrageous con? duct or a white man, who walked about the green, near the mill pond, recklessly firing twen? ty shots or more, in various directions, from a j breech-loading rice, to the Imminent peril not only or the passers-by, but also of the occupants of thc houses around, ir there were a policeman within hearing of the gun, he must have been especially careful to keep out or tbe way till the danger was over..

L. LCKSFORD. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. A Succinct Statement of the Fruits of Radical Was te an tl Mismanagement. The formal organization of the new. board ol Behool commissioners, and the business transact? ed at their meeting on Monday evening, have already been reported in TBS NEWS; A fall and Interesting statement of the present actual con? dition of the school, and the difficulties In the way of their immediate reopening, has now been made by- Mr. Memmlnger, the chairman of the new board, frora_ which the following facts are extracted: None of the salaries or the teachers and other employees of the f-chbol' have been paid beydnd the 1st of January last; there ls, therefore, now doe, the entire salaries from Jan? uary to July, when the BChools were closed, amounting to somewhere between $18,000 and $20,000. The only means provided for paying these arrears' consists of the portion dbe this county from the general school appro? priation made at thc last session of the Legis l?tate. This is estimated .at, say, $9000, and when paid lt wlli pay the teachers' Balarles to the 1st of April last, leaving still due the salaries for teachers from April to July, and those for other employees to the present date, which, in round numbers, may be estimated* at $10,000'. The only means a"t the command^of the new board to meet this debt, and to reopen and carry on the schools, ls the power granted by the act of | March 6,1871, to levy a tax not to exceed one and one balf mills on all taxable property m the etty or Charleston. Tuts tax, by the express terms or the ac, must be collected as other city taxes are, and the money placed In the city treasury, it is therefore certain that no money can be realized by the board until the end of Jannary next. Under these circumstance?, ir the schools should be opened In October, there would be added another ten thousand dollars of debt to the already existing debt, before the board could have any means of pay? ment, and its action would continue to -be em? barrassed with a barden from which there ls no prospect of relief. In the present condition of the citizens of Charleston it would % not be expe? dient to malte the school tax more than one mill on the city property, and the amount collected would not be more than sufficient to pay tho cur? rent expenses of the scboolB. The board ls, there? fore, reduced to the necessity of choosing be? tween evils, and the least of these would seem to he to delay the reopening of the schools until the first of January. The Intermediate tune may be employed In repairing the buildings wherever necessary, In reorganizing the various depart? ments, and tn endeavoring to get some help from the Legislature to remove existing embarrass? ment.
