SPARK THE Boo.-On Monday nights Celia Simons, an obstreperous colored girl, of seventeen summen, who would not Bee the evil ol her ways, was approached by her mother, who attempted to castigate her. Ce!* could not see it in this light, and being a robust girl, retaliated in a spirited manner upon the old lady, who speedily got the worst of the fight. The disturbance brought in the police, who took the undutiful daughter to the Guardhouse. She was brought before the Mayor, who, seeing no prospect ol peace be? tween the women, ordered the girl to be sent to her father in the country. THE CROPS.-The following extract of a let? ter from an intelligent planter, dated Monti? cello, Fairfield County, September 6, has been received : I postponed writing yon about the crops ?jll tb is late day, weUknowlnz that the effects W the drought could not be fully ascertained, nor a correct estimate made of the cotton crop until picking had fairly commenced; and even now I have concluded to say but little about lt, tor the reason that so many estimates have been published In the newspapers, during the last two weeks, from Fairfield and the adjoin? ing counties. I would simply say that I have t, been cotton planting for upwards of thirty 1 years, and am certain that I never saw so complete a failure In the cotton crop. ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WKLL.-Yesterday morning a colored man from the country, W Brown by name, entered the store of M??ip. Hart, in the lower part of King street, tort he purpose of buying a hat After suiting him? self with ene, Brown stood admiring the flt awhile, and then stepped to tbe door for the purpose of freeing his mouth from the tobacco juice with which lt was filled. The storekeep? er was watching him closely, and thinking he wasTtbout to decamp, rushed upon him, seiz? ed him by the collar, and crying thiel ! struck him r?verai blows. A crowd soon collected, and the parties were escorted by the police to Trial Justice McKlnlay's office. Cross war? rants were taken out, and the trial proceeded at once. Brown was found not guilty of the larceny or attempt to commit one, but Hart was found guilty of the assault and battery. The justice imposed a fine of five dollars and costs upon him, but the defendant appealed to the Court of General Sessions. ALL FOR THE PIGS.-Yesterday morning a serious affray took place in Spring street, near King, between Mr. M. Hogan, the well-known butcher, and Roundsman John F. C. Oster? holz, of the police force. The latter had been active, some time since. In reporting the premises, among them Mr. Hogan's, where plfis were kept, and on his daily rounds was frequently saluted with the call of pig ! pig ! Not relishing these civilities, he turned on Hogan and asked if he had removed those hsjp yet, and hearing that Hogan had threat? ened to thrash him, told him lt was a good ttgie now and "to come on." The latter, noth? ing loath, pitched into the official In scientific style, and was pummelling him pretty badly when he, the boy in bine, drew his six-shooter and snapped it twice'in Hogan's face. The latter, being unarmed, picked np a brick to return the fire, when the doughty official took to his heels,* preferring to decide the matter at law. Hogan was arrested and fried before Tri ^Justice T. J. Mackey for the assault and battery. He made no defence bat a plain statement of the case, sustained by witnesses, and was fined one dollar and costs. Upon paying the fine he was discharged. CLVBS AND STARS.-Newall Lavendry, arrest, ed lor [being drunk and disorderly ht State street, was sentenced to pay a fine of five dol? lars or spend ten days in the House or Correc? tion. Charles Williams and Charlotte Cattle, lodg? ed for raising a disturbance and fighting In Calhoun street, were sentenced each to pay a fine of five dollars or go to the House of Cor? rection for five days. .

Plath, was fined one dollar for the cart which conveyed him to the Guard? house, and was turned over to a trial justice. A horse, found at large in Broad street, was ordered to be advertised, and delivered to the ownef on application. I SEWS ABOUT TUE FEVER. No Deatln In the Last Twenty-four Hours-The Work of the Weather Last Week's Mortality-The Fever tn .Beaufort, ?to., ?to. The city registrar reports only one certifi? cate ot death from yellow fever daring the twenty-four hours ending at noon yesterday, and this death took place on Saturday. This is as cheering a statement as we could desire, and more encouraging than faint-hearted folk had ventured to expect. Doubtless, this glo? rious "autumn weather'" is doing more lor us than all the doctors and disinfectants in the city. The nights and morniDg3 are deliciously cool, and the days more like the end of Octo? ber than the beginning of September. We may, of course, have a return o? the summer heats, but, as the most critical fever period ls from the first to the thira week in September, every cool day lessens tne chances of any serious augmentation In the number of deaths. This has been an early season. The winter was mild, and the summer temperature-with the exception ol a short term of red-hot weather-has been remarkably low. This caused the opinion to gain ground tl.at the back-bone of the summer ls now broken, and that bot days for the rest of tko sea^^u will be lew and far between. T?ESDAT'S REPOKT. OFFICE BOARD OF HEALTH, CHARLESTON, September 5,1871-12 M. One (1) certificate of death from yellow fever received since last report This death occurred on the the 2d of September, and the body was Interred in the Tiinlty M. E. Ceme? tery.

Sanitary Matters. The street cleaning is being pushed forward with energy, and the weather lavors the effort! in Uiis direction. Five carts were yesterday discharged, and also a foreman, who was found drunk. One bricklayer, who was almost In the same condition, was suspended. A Warning to Hearse Drivers un i Sex? ton*. We are requested by the city registrar. Dr. Lebby, to call the attention of hearse keepers and sextons to the provisions of the first sec? tion of the ordinance of July 5, 1859. This section requires that the certificates ol death be delivered to the city registrar on tlte day of interment, under a penalty of twenty-five dol? lars, which will be rigidly enforced against all offenders. The certificates must be left at the city registrar's office, and not at his residence. Unremoved Filth. At the corner of Ra fer. alley and Guignard street ls a pile of decomp osing matter, which has remained undisturbed for the past two days. Conspicuous in the heap is the carcass of a dead fowl and other matters, which send forth a stench tar more agreeable to speak about than to experience. This quarter is the stronghold of the fever, and with such ram papts as the above, ihe yellow fever demon may make a determined stand. "Charge, Collins, charge !" About Beaufort. As an answer to the statement In regard to the presence of yellow fever in Beaufort, printed in yesterday's NEWS, we lay before the public the lol lo wing letter, addressed to Dr. Lebby by the port physician of Beaufort. This letter, lt will be noticed, ls countersigned by the chairman of the board of health: OFFICE OF THE PORT PHYSICIAN. I BEAUFORT. S. C.. September 2.1871. j Robert Lebby, M.

Wright, a former president ot the colored Young Mens' Christian Association, and ex member of the Legislature, yesterday brought an action against the present vice-president of the association for lorcibly ejecting him from the rooms of the same. The prosecutor had been expelled irom the society for non-pay mens of arrears; but a clause of the constitu? tion provides that should any member, ex? pelled for this cause, appear within three months and pay up all dues, he shall be rein? stated into all his former rights and benefits. Wright appeared within the prescribed time to pay up hie arreare, but the Insiders, he states, called the police and bad him forcibly ejected. Upon this he brought the present action for damages against the vice-president. After due Investigation, Trial Justice Schroder, be? fore whom the case was tried, held that the action for damages would not lie against the vice-president, but should be brought against the association, and dismissed the Buit.
