Cole, io: being drunk and-disorderly in Elliott street, was visited with a similar sen? tence. Wm. County, who applied for a night's lodging, received it, and oh examination was ordered to be held over for one day. A LAND SLIDE.-In pulling down the Ma? sonic Hall a great object ls to preserve th? bricks whole, which ate to be used In the constructton*of the new temple. This ls accomplished by an inge? nious slide. A curbed track, the width of a board and with raised edges on each side to prevent the blicks runt lng off, has been constructed, reach? ing from the back window in the tbird story to the ground. The weight of the long, narrow structure bends lt inward, and lt forms the arc of a circle, supported at intervals by props as it nears the ground. The bricks dislodged from the high walls are brought to the slide, and one by one are sent whizzing down the narrow track. At the bottom they strike a wooden wall placed to stop their course, and are there taken up by one of the hands and plied. The building is rapid? ly growing less, and the lodge-room has already been taken down. A PEDESTRIAN HANDICAP.-An amusing trial of speed toek place In the city, on Saturday, be? tween a fleet-footed son of Charleston and a stalwart farmer, who plants up the road, not a thousand miles from the city. The fleet-footed made up for his reputation as a runner by carry? ing weight in the cumbrous and rather unusual shape of a dozen horse collars. Giving bis antag? onist the sidewalk on one side of the street the Charlestonlcn took the other, with six large horse collars hanging loosely on each arm. The race was a^out 250 yards, and at the end of the 150, lt waa plain that the horse collars had the best or lt. The bearer came la twenty paces ahead and took down the stakes, while his oppo? nent came up out or breath, and alleging that lt would bave been all the same [ir the feet-footed had been hitched to a four horse wagon. The ? latter also came off winner in another contest a j few hours afterwards with an able young me ! cumie. AN IMMENSE MECHANICAL BAZAAR.-The fact is not as generally known as it deserves to be that the City or Charleston contains one or the largest and moa: comprehensive engine and machinery warehouses in any section or the country. The establishment referred to is that of Messrs Cam? eron, Barkley A Co., on the northeast corner of Meeting and Cumberland streets, a visit to which will satisfy any one that tais encomium has not been misapplied. Here are to be found at all times a variety of stationary, portable and agri? cultural engines, saw mills, grist mills, gins, threshers, cane machines, horse powers, .*.c, Ac, such as is hardly to be surpassed by the fullest at? tractions or a well stocked industrial fair. Here are also railroad and steamboat supplies, oils, belting, lead, brass goods, pipe, wagons, carts, trucks. Ac, fi the greatest variety, all of them ready for transportation to any part of the world Or for im? mediate use. The reputation of the bouse for prompt and fall hf ul dealing ls too well known to require comment, and its business ls, as lt de? serves to be, steadily and rapidly Increasing. A MURDER OR A MTSTERT.-The Savannah papers are full or the details or a horrible crime committed early on Wednesday morning, in the house or Mr. Joseph Davis, near the line of Bol? lock ana Bryan Counties, and -about twenty-eight miles from Savannah. The victim was Mrs* Davis, a young women of abont twenty-five or twenty six years of age, who was found sitting np in bed, at about 3 o'clock In the morning with her throat cut. and who died in a few min! utes thereafter. Her husband was away from home at the time, and Mrs. Davis had been sleep? ing with two omer step-chid rea. She bad been but or bed* and had gone to a cupboard, on the door of which the little boy's pants, contain.ng?a packet knife, were hanging. Soon after return? ing to bed, she screamed ont, "I am bleeding to death," and soon after died. The' pocket-knife was afterward found in a tub of water on the floor. It ls possible that she may have killed herself by accident, or some night prowler may have got into the noose and murdered her, but, with the very meagre testimony at hand, lt ls im? possible to form any idea of the truth. The coro? ner's inquest was a most inconsequential investi? gation, and the verdict of the jory was that "de? ceased came to her death from some sharp In? strument in the hands ot an unknown person." SHOOTING AFFRAY IN ST. ANDREW'S.-A se? rious affair occurred on Saturday night on Colonel Gaillard's plantation, in St. Andrew's Parish, which resulted In the shooting and serious injury or Gibby Bryan, a colored man, twenty-five years of age. It appears that the jealousy of another colored man, Jack Bryan by name, had been aroused by certain visits which Gibby is alleged to have paid to his wife, and Jack had' threatened to shoot Gibby if he ever saw bim about his place. Accordingly, when Jack found bia enemy hang? ing about his yard on Saturday, night he went into bis house for his musket, which was kept loaded with a ball and a miscellaneous assort? ment of bird sbot so as to be safe for bringing down almost any sort of game, and then went m pursuit or Gibby. Fin ling the latter running away Jack pursued, and firing at him, as ls alleged, emptied tie varied contents of his gun in among the poor fellow, who was round soon after lying in a pool.or his own blood, brought over to this city and admitted to the City Hospital, at about one o'clock,' yesterday afternoon. It was found that the small stock or hardware that Jack bad discharged Into Gibby bad gone completely through his forearm, fracturing the larger bone and severing the muscles and had lodged in his side. The wadding and charge was extracted by Dr. J. S. Buist, and the fractured usia carefully resected, by which means it 13 believed that the arm may ba saved, although at'first lt was thought that amputation would be necessary. EDIBTO ISLAND.-The crop prospects on Ed lBto Island, contrary to the general rule through? out the State, are or the most encouraging char? acter. There have been, so rar, no signs of the caterpillar, and gentlemen from the island state that they have never seen a promise of a better crop, either before or since the war. A small quantity of cotton was picked on Edlsto Island week before last, and lt ls understood that on Wadmalaw Island several hundred weight have already been picked. The public roads all over Edlsto Island have been In a terrible condition ever since the war, and recently the citizens, white aad colored, have been called out, in accord? ance with the State law, to take their tours of duty at repairing the highways. On Thursday last a gang of about one hundred colored men, who were at work upon the road leading to Ed ingsville, indulged in som.9 very unseemly and riotous behavior, pelting with stones and mud every white maa who came by, with the single exception or one gentleman, a Presbyterian cler? gyman, whose cloth, for a wonder, exempted him from the Insults of the mob. One circumstance that aggravated the affair was that the sub-county commissioner, himself a colored man, was with the negroes, and if he did not actually incite them to their acts of violence, at least made no effort to repress them, and, therefore, tacitly encouraged the outrages. The demonstration being wholly unexpected,no opportunity waa afforded the white men to organize any resistance, and as the au? thorities, of course, did not Interfere, the howling rioters had things their own way until darkness interposed and they dispersed. SHARPERS AT WORK_Last Friday evening, a colored man from the country, named Lewis Pugh, entered a store at the com er or King and Cain .nn-streets, to make certain purchases. Els rather ostentations display of a well-filled pocket book attracted the attention of two aharpers,""who had been following, him for some time, and en? tered the store along with him. While the rustic was examining come goods, one of the sharpers, named Jno. F. Brown, made a grab for his pocket book and got hold of it. Pugh turned and instant? ly caught bold, of the thief, and after a short struggle the peuce came In and took charge of Brown. On the way to the Guardhouse, Andrew Hudson, Brown's friend, came np with the police, and after a little talking attempted to rescue Brown from the guard. The latter were too many, however, and Hudson was added to the nomber of prisoners. They were brought before the Mayor next morning:, who sentenced Brown to thirty days in the House of Correction, under the vagrant law. Hudson, for attempting to rescue* prisoner was sentenced to psy ? fine of five dollars or spend ten days lu the House of Correction. Hotel Arrivals-August IIS and 13. PAVILION HOTEL. J. J.
