The duties of the firemen have been well done. There is other work proposed for the energetic major, which more properly belongs to the office of a city inspec? tor. The city can no longer boast of the lat? ter fur itionary, but we feel certain that the love which the major bears for our old city will not allow him to leave anything undone which it ls in his power to do for her welfare. The attention of the health department is Invited to the shocking condition of the gut? ters and drains In Ward 5-particularly near the intersection of Elizabeth and Henrietta streets.

Their term of iffice is declared to be for one year, and until .nother election ot officers.

WARD 8. 7. G. WhildeD, W. S. Henerey. Judge W. A. Pringle, who had been the dili ;ent and attentive treasurer of t". 9 association rom its formation, was compelled L?y the pr?s? ure of official engagements to decline a re lection. Dr. Pelzer declined to serve as sec acob Smali, L Y. Tupper, [ retary, OD the ground that he was temporarily I living on Sullivan's Island, ont was persuaded to retain for a time the position to which he had done so much credit. Tue Howard Association of Charleston was organized in 1854, and Incorporated in the fol? lowing year. The first president was Daniel Ravenel, Esq., and the last was the late Mr. James Tupper, who died three or four yearB ago. Colonel James H. Taylor-the present president-was the first secretary, and was succeeded by Dr. Pelzer, who still holds that office. The first treasurer was Judge Pringle who, on yesterday, resigned. The chief work of the association at home was done in 1858, when it expended $20,000 in nursing the sick and providing them with comforts. The association had an office in the Military Hall, open from sunrise until late at night, where applications for help might be left. These applications were turned over to the ward directors, who gave orders upon the association for supplies, and took such other steps as were necessary. In this way no case escaped attention. In 1855 the association sent Mr. Wm. Por? cher Miles, with nurses and physicians, to Noriolk, where the yellow fever was raging. The association Bpent a large sum ol money, and its members were unsparing of life and health in their efforts to succor and save the Bick. In 1862, a number of physicians and nurses, under the auspices of the Charleston Ho wa: i Association, visited Wilmington where the lever was epidemic. They remained there as long as they could do any good to the hum? blest of the people who now blockade their city upon the first alarm tbat the fever is In Charleston. Ingratitude ls not confined to Re? publics. The Howard Association, in times past, has been of wonderful service in nursing and at? tending the sick, and while we trust that there will be no serious demands upon its pious care, we are glad to see the association in working order and ready for the worst. The Wards at WorK. The citizens of Ward No. 1 are respectfully informed that the sub-committee of the board of health will, this day, commence the In? spection ol all premises of that ward.

Redding and Julia D., hla wife, vs. the South Carolina Railroad Company. Motion granted, and order set aside. Opinion by Wright, A. J. Held: A master ls ordinarily liable to an? swer in a civil Buit for the tortlous or' wrong? ful act of his servant, if those acts are done In the course of bis employment in his maaters's service. The "course of the employment" is not to be understood as restricted and con? fined to the prescribed duties set apart for the Eerformance of the servant. Whatever may e Incident to the employment must neces? sarily belong to lt. TheBe are questions for the jury. The practice of ordering a nonsuit in Invition lor defective testfmony is to be pursued with caution.

DEATH AND HEARTLESS ROBBERY.-On Mon? day night a Mr. Babitfa, who used to keep a small store in King street near Tradd, died. His wife had been Ul for some time, but ls now convalescent. While the family, were in this condition, with no one to attend to their affairs, a heartless robbery of everything valuable was perpetrated in the dwelling of the unfortunate man. Over four hundred dollars' worth of Jewelry was thus stolen, and upon the death of the proprietor some Intruders went to-look at his watch to see the hour of his death, when the watch, with a gold chain, was appropria? ted. A valuable ring was also stolen from the very hand of the dead man. Little care had been taken ol these things, and the diabolical thieves found no one to oppose or detect them. None o? the articles have been recovered. WHERE THE RAGS COME FROM.-On the con? fines of the city, near Potter's Field, may be witnessed every morning a picturesque, if not a very pleasant, scene. The scavenger carts of the city here deposit the offal, and as each load of reeking filth 1B dumped upon the ground the disgusting heap is attacked by a crowd of colored women and children, num? bering from thirty to forty. The piles are raked over, and every scrap of rag taken up and placed In their bags by the black chiffo? niers. Plasters and poultices are all grist In this mill, and yesterday a gentleman Baw sev? eral of the former; apparently of the kind used upon yellow fever patients, picked out and carried off. These pickings are brought * " li... olly, to tia o ftmDunt of Lbroo Or four cartloads dally, and Bold to the junkshops for exportation. JJV MEMORIAM.
