Mr. O'Neale was clerc or the choir lu days long gone by, when the hymns and psalms were read aloud bytblm, and was for many years, subsequently to the abolition of this office, sexton of the church. Bis aged form has long been one of the landmarks of a by? gone age. Bis ru n eral takes place this afternoon. ANOTHER REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.-The old saw mills on the pond near calhoun street, which have been known for so many years as Bennett's Saw Mills, are now in active operation again, after a suspension of four or five years, -caused by the dullness m the building trade since the war. The new proprietor ls Mr. T. F. Brodie, who pur? chased the water lots and the old mill at the re? cent sale of Governor Bennett's property, and after putting some repairs on the mi l, resumed operations there about ten days ago, and has been busily running ever-since, with every pros? pect of a continuance of a lively anti profitable bnslness. POULTRY THIEF DISTURBED.-About' half past 3 o'clock yesterday morning a colored boy was observed by a policeman, in Radcliffe street, hurrying along with a suspicions looking bag u?on his shoulders. Hailing the boy, the police? man ordered him to hair, bur, wlthont minding the command, the boy took to his heels. The man In bine follow?.1 in hot pursuit, and the boy, Anding the bag;. in bis way.. dropped lt at the corser of Coming street, and made his. escape in the darkness. Os examination the bag was fonnd to contain fifteen chickens and a pair of English docks.

John Evans, arrested for vagrancy and on sus? picion of larceny, was held for further examina? tion. Three goats, fonnd wandering on Meeting street, were lodged in the yard of the Guardhouse, and delivered to the owner upon payment of a fine of one dollar for each. -COLLECTING REST .-About 8 o'clock on. Thursday evening, Robert Vesey met a tenant of his, named James Goodwin, on Meeting street opposite Chalmers, and thinking the opportunity a good one dunned him for a small arrear or rent which had been due for some tim? psst. Good? win became highly indignant, and resenting the insult, struck Vesey a stunner over the left eye, which brought him headlong to the pavement. Jumping upon als prostrate foe, Goodwin' then began to administer asevere punishment, when he was Interrupted by two colored men who wit? nessed the affair. The combatants were separat, ed and Vesey took to the law. The case came np before Trial Justice Levy yesterday morning, and Goodwin was seatenced-to pay a floe of $21 and' costs, which he did in preference to going to Jail for thirty days. PRIZE FIGHTING_Wednesday night on the ~ Meeting street road Alexander Simmons and Stephen Campbell, two colored sages, began to dise?as the qualities necessary for a champion in the ring. The two differed materially, and com? ing from generalities to personalities, Stephen at ^length volunteered te give Alexander a dressing. The latter immediately showed fight, and thro w ing himself Into a striking attitude, confronted the vainglorious Stephen, who incontinently took to his heels. Aleck pursue I and gave the flying foe several blown wita his fist, not to mention a few applications of his heavy cowhide brogans. Stephen applied to the law, and yesterday morn? ing Aleck was brought before Trial Justice Levy, charged with' an assault and battery. He was fonnd guilty and sentesced to pay a fine of one dollar and costs, or rusticate at Sheriff Mackey't? Hotel for the space, of thirty days. THE WEATHER.-"A severe storm is pro? bably advancing northwestward over Florida, which will bring strong easter.y winds and rain to the 0 n th Atlantic coast." So said the clerk of the weather in Washington of the probabilities for Friday, and the prediction has been literally verified. The strong easterly winds were at work in the morning, and during tne afternoon and evening they made themselves felt and heard most unmistakably. The way In wh ch the gale Bwept down the streets aid around the corners was ominous for loosely fastened sign? boards and projecting tiles, and the'-flimsy cov? ering oran umbrella only afforded Bport to old Euroa as he. drove the blinding, spray beneath every "angle and Into every corner of the shivering canvas and whalebone. The promusd showers ably seconded the efforts of the - wind, and the heavy flood pom lng upon the housetops awoke many a sleeper. At night it was worse than ever. Jam satis. We have had enough of this for the present.__ STREET GARBAGE.-M. Powers was reported yesterday morning and examined before the Mayor, charged with not removing the offal from Beau fain street before ll o'clock on Thursday morning. ' The evidence showed that the street contractor's cart had been around the street and cleaned lt of ?11 filth at ?nearly hoar in the morn? ing, bnt that this offal bad been thrown ont late in the day,'after the carts had gone by. Powers was forthwith discharged. The whole communi? ty are Interested in this matter, and lt is of the highest importance that the scavenger work should be thoroughly performed. The citizens ^should certainly do their part in cleaning their "premises at an early hoax. When the street con? tractors are in fanlt they are reported and brought np before the Mayor, and the proper offi? cers should Bee that lot-holders do not endanger the health of the neighborhood by allowing filth to remain upon their premises until the heat of the day. The condition of East Bay yesterday morning was very filthy, and upon the recom? mendation of Mayor FUudrary the acting street inspector sent down a gang of four men, during the afternoon, to sweep the Btreer. THE NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY.-The. Sa? vannah Advertiser says: "After a protracted sea? son, fraught with difficulties and delays, and with intense opposition to contend with, the South em and Atlantic Telegraph Comps ny, of which Colonel Coles, of this city, is vice-president, has extended its line to this city, and will, within a week's time, open an office for the accommodation or the public. The entire line, by the time the telegraph poles have been erected In the varions streets, will be finished from Savannah to Washington, affording telegraphic communication to all points of the country. This competition (and lt will prove a most formidable one) with the Western Union will serve to reduce the rates of transmission materially, cutting down the expense or telegraphing to a figure that will enable the use ot the wires to become more gen? eral. While the Western Union is a well-managed and reliable institution, its monopoly of the busi? ness in this part or the country has rendered tele? graphing somewhat greater in proportion to the tariff in force in the States where rival lines pro? voke a healthy competition, ir we are not mis? taken, the Southern and Atlantic numbers among Its stockholders quite a number of merchants and moneyed men in this city, as weU as in nearly every Southern corporation from here to Wash tgton. Under these circumstances, lt behooves i to extend the new Une all the aid and comfort possible. The location of the company's omce has not been fixed upon, but lt will doubtless be in the Advertiser block." IM* no rs MEX TS ix OUR CITY. A Sketch of a Few of the Building ? terprlses in Progress-New Cn arch Seminaries, Halls and, Residence Some of the ?landers abont Charl ton Refuted by Facts. A number of statements have appeal from ame to time, in certain newspapers, i especiilly la the letters ol a few correspon?e who have daring the past year visited Charles in the interests or some of the New York jo nais, to the effect that there were hardly i building operations in progress In this city. So or these correspondents, particularly one "G. S.," who represented the New York Tribune, e^ went so far as to Eay that there was not In ? City or Charleston a brick belog laid or a bulldl erected-that the ravages of war had been 1 undisturbed, and that, in fact, the mural progr of Charleston had utterly stopped. Such sta m en ts as these cannot fall to have a more or 1 injurious effect on the indastrlal and basin reputation of the city, and they are, moreover, completely at variance with the troth that lt comes a matter or simple dnty to point out th glaring inaccuracies, and apply the antidote truth to offset the partl-an poison of such mi clou3 misrepresentation. It is perfectly patent to any one who wal about the streets of Charleston, not only that t building industry of the city is not asleep, b that the number of houses In process or erectlot unprecedented!y large for this season or the ye; and the writer or this article, accosting a prot nent builder, yesterday morning, requeste l fro him some facts as to the number and descrlpth of bondings in progress or projected. An in vi tlon from the builder to accompany him on 1 daily ride among the various works under 1 charge was extended and accepted, and fol.owi facts Were the result or the morning's observ Hons: TO! NSW GERMAN CH CRCH. On King stree', near Yanderhorst, stands t new German Lutheran Church. KB spire, whi will be the tallest one south of the Potoma already reaching the height of 235 feet. This ls i elegant Gothic strnctnre, which ls being cc Eructed In the most thorough manner, and is e pected to be finished during the coming rall, fall description or the building, as lt ls to be, b already appeared In 7 BB NBWS, and lt will not necessary, thererore, to repeat it here. The wo upon lt ls being poshed forward as rapidly as pc sib e, and one very interesting portion of t! work ls the carving of the heavy fini ii that ls surmount the lofty spire, cn which eight carve are now constantly employed. This flnlalis the B ape or a floral cluster, and will be, Incl sive of the crown which will surmount the who! twenty teer high. The building when finish! will cost $T5,ooo, and the bonds necessary to me this expense being now all disposed of, there every probability of the early completion of tl edifice. A BRAVE GIRL'S ENTERPRISE. . Not rar from this structure, on St. Philip stree Jjfit opposite the Charleston College, a baudin 's approaching completion, which not only marl the aesthetic progress of the city, bat affords remarkable Illustration of the energy and ablllt ora yoong lady of Charleston,barely twen* years of age, Miss Etta Kelly, who ls here erec lng increased accommodations for he? airead flourishing young ladles' seminary. The sem nary numbers some one hundred pupils, and ! now conducted in a building not specially erecte nor particnlary adapted for the purpose. Th new building will, however, be an ornament t this portion of .the city, and afford every facllit for the purposes for which lt is Intended, lt is three story frame building, with brick rounds lions, measuring, on the ground' plan, 50 by fl feet. The first floor will be devoted to play roomi the second to class rc oms, and the third is occo pied by a large hall for general exercises, calls thenlcs, Ac. Especial attention has been paid ti the arrangements for Ugh: and ventilation, am Ini these respects lt will be eqialto any build in | In Charleston. The outside walls will be palntei and sanded In Imitation of stone, and the roo will be of tin. This building 1B to be fin ished ant ready for occupation on the 1st of October. THE MASONIC TEMPLE. Another important public institution Boon to bi erected in this vicinity is the new Masonic Tem pie, on the corner or Wentworth and King streets The old Masonic Ha l, the Bite or which Is to bi used Tor the new edifice, 1B being rapidly demol ished, and the masdve wal s or ihe new bundine win soon begin to rise. The ne *r temple ls to be o; brick, three stories Ugh, with a front oreo ree ter King street and 116 feet on Wentworth st reel The building will include three fine stores on King street, and a main entrance on Wentworth street. The front portion of the second and third floors ol the building wlil be occupied by a Grand Lodge room of magnificent proportion?, the domed and tesBelated celLng of which wju be fl ny feet from the floor. The two fronts will be Identical in de? sign and very ornate, the spaces between the cir? cular headings of the third story windows being emblazoned with a number of shields bearing Masonic emblems. NEW STORKS ON SING STREBT. A number of Improvements are in progress on King street, which will add greatly to the appear? ance or that thorough are. At No. 2S3 King street a new brick front ls being erected, to be finished with ornamental iron caps, and trimmings with rustic corners. The store on the first floor of th is building will be occupied by Mr. John R. Reid for bis lace and fanoy goods baslness, and the second and third fljors by Mr. S. T. Souder'a photo? graphic gallery. On the same street, nearly opposite Easel street, an elegant building is Boon to be erected by Mr. John 0. H. Claussen, on the site at present occupied by Taylor's old shoe store. This front will be built entirely or Iron and glass, and will probably be the most ornamental business struc? ture in the city. A fun description or the new banding was given in THE NEWS or last Tuesday. Besides these Improvements, negotiations are in progress for the erection of a block or five brick stores on the east side or King street, Just below Market, which will have the desirable effect of cloo'ng up a wide gap in the unsightly burnt dist ric \ and an offer has also been made for the purchase or two other lots in the same vicinity ror the purpose of erecting two'more bnainess houses. NEW DWELLING HOUSES. On the sooth side or Cumberland street, a few doors from Meeting street, a very handsome brick dwelling and store la rapidly approaching completion. It ls being built for Mr. P. L. Guille shin, for a residence and gasflttlng eBtablisnment, and will be two-stories high, wltn a bold Mansard roof. The general plan of the building ls an ing?? nions combination or the Northern and Southern style of architecture, and it has some features that wlU be quite novel in Charleston. One or these ls thc wide bay window that wlU form the store fron t and be surmounted by a balcony on the second -story front. The building measures sixty-eight by twenty-eight feet on the ground pian, and Includes, on the ground floor, a store, a workshop and a commodious piazza; the sec? ond floor containing a parlor, a dining room, kitchen, pantry and two chambers. Three small dwellings are also going up on Queen street and one on Archdale street, each or them being two and one half story frame houses with 'inned roofs, and similar structures have been commenced in other parts of the city, with a view to aff irdlng cheap and comfortable homes to persons witt small familier, atd limited mean3. On South Bay, a few doers west of Colonel Lathers's new and elegant residence, a series of elaborate improvements are being made on one of the Unest old dwelling honses in the city. The building ls being enlarged and remodelled; the kitchen which was formerly isolated from the main building is bel?g connected thereto by a brick extension, and the piazza ls being recon? structed and heightened by the addition or one story, which addition win afford one of the finest views to be had in the city, embracing James island, Secesslonville, the Hundred Pines, Fort Sumter, John's Island, Battery simpkins, and the whole sweep of Ashley River for miles along the coast. MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS. Some considerable Improvements are in pro? gress on Schachte'^ Hotel on the corner of King j and Vandei horst streets, the piazza in the rear or I which is being restored and modernized. On Brown's w ti arr a series or BU bs: an' lal cotton sheds have jost been completed for Messrs. Pel zer, Rodgers A Co., wbich cover 12,237 square feet, and on Union wharf the very extensive sheds of the Union Wharf and State Press Com? panies are being thoroughly overhauled and re? paired in anticipation of the fall business. A new Catholic church is being erected on Sulli? van's Island, and 13 progressing finely. The walls are np five feet, the buttresses are completed, as is also the basement, wbich is now ready for tlte first floor joists.* It ls expected, also, that con? tracts for a number of private cottages, on Sulli? van's Island, will ba given out during the coming fall and winter In anticipation of the requirements of next summer's visitors to the Island. This completes a lister seventeen building en? terprises, varying in Importance from the erec? tion or a $100,000 blocs of buildings to the re? modelling of a dwelling house, but giving em? ployment altogether to folly three hundred and seventy-five artisans and laborers, and lt must be borne in mind that this represents the work now In actual progr?s] In the hands of one contractor only. There are contained in the Directory the Dames of thirty-seven other contractors and builders, no one of whom perhaps does quite as large a buBlnt ss as the one referred to here, bnt whose present operations in the aggregate would prove a very large addition to the Hst now given* or Improvements in progress, and lt is our par pose to recur to this subject from time to time, in order to keep up with the growth or the city, and to complete the refuta'lon or the malicious slan? ders with which, fer purely partisan purposes, her character has been assailed.
