MR. JAMES O'NEALS, a venerable gentlemen,
who may have been noticed each Sabbath by the
congregation of St. Michael's as he was led to his
?seat In the church, expired yesterday morning at
ttie ripe old age of 'eighty years. 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. These were afterwards identified by and
restored to a woman who resides in Coming
street, from whom they had been stolen.
CLUBS AND STARS.-Ann O'Dwyer, lodged for
?>eing drank and unable to take care of herself in
King street, was sent to the House of Correction
for ten days.
John williams and Paul Watson, two fancy
youths of color, arrested for cursing and swear?
ing, and gambling In Line street, were sent to the
House of Correction, for ten days each, as va.
grants.
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."

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.

By Professor ASA GRAY,
Or Harvard University,
Author of "How Plants Grow," "School and Field
Book of Botany," "Manual of Botany," "Struc?
tural and systematic Botany," Ac., Ac.
"Botany should be taught in every school sad
these Volumes should be the Text-Books."-Proj.
J. 3. Davis, eniver*Uv of Virginia.
The publisher, beg to call the attention of those
about forming classes In Botany to the well known
works by Professor Gray. Having been carefully
revised, they present the latest and most accurate
principles and developments of the science, and
lt is sufficient indorsement of them to state that
they are used in almost every noted College, High
School and Seminary In the country, and ?re rec?
ommended over other series by nine-tenths of the
leading Professors and Botanical Teachers in the
United States.
No author has yet approached Professor Gray in
the rare art or making purely scientific theories
and dry details popular and interesting. Prom
his charming elementary work "How Plants
Grow." to his more elaborate "Manual," there ls
one simple, concise and yet exhaustive method of
teaching the various grades ol the stndy.
Descriptive Circulars, giving lull titles and pri?
ces, will be forwarded by mall, to any address, on
