Hey ward, Toney and Margaret Ravene?, Thomas Cboate, John Reynolds, EU and Edward Jackson. The ex? amination progresses but slowly, and the case will probably occupy the court for two days more. Daring the morning Washington JiMthewes, charged with murder, was discharged from custody, the jury having found no bill against him- Jesse Chisolm, charged with murder a!oi^ with Matthewes, is still at large. STOPPING THE HOLES_A few days ago a suspicious looking cavity appeared in the middle o? Broad street, a short distance east of King, which, besides toing a dangerous trap for animals, threatened to increase In size. The place was at once marked, and In? spector Lucas with a number of bands began to reconnoitre the premises. The cavity, though small on the surface, proved more ex? tensiv than at first expected; but the work? men went to work with a vim, and yesterday alternoon the finishing touches were put upon the work. The cavity below has been filled np, and a raised surface, which, under tie trampling of vehicles, will speedily forma solid level, now marks the place where the the cavity was visible on Tuesday. CR i'M KS.-A bul Ul'jg pup and a brindled cur bal a fight yesterday in Queen street. Blood will tell, and the bull-dog Whipped. Charleston, yesterday, was what Byron calls "coldly sweet." The fashionable complaint ls a "code in the nodze." The ladies like THE NEWS because it makes the most bustle. All the merchants and shopkeepers who ex? pect to do a large business at Christmas-tide are making ready their advertisements for THE NEWS. There are, in Charleston, fifteen ladies, seven men and a small boy, each of whom holds "the winning ticket" in the Butler, Chadwick, Gary 4 Co.'s drawing, which ls now drawing nigh. Mi bera! reward will be paid for the recove ryUf a black Newfoundland dog, supposed to be'strayed or stolen from a residence in Smith street, near Queen. A weak-minded inebriate wants to know the difference between his daily dram and the Charleston Charitable Association. Give lt up ? (fee ls a lottery and the other is a lot o'-rye. Per-leese ! A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY. A ilan Shoot* hi? Wife in a Drankrn Quarrel-The Shooter Arrested. About one o'clock yesterday morning the home of Patrick Shnnahau, ar No. 15 Sires street, became the scene of a ?ftightful trage? dy, which was owing principally to tbe drunkenness of the head of the family. The latter WOM all seated around the table at din? ner when Shanahan, who was in a state of in? toxication, began ta quarrel with his wife Juli?. She replied to him, and be, becoming enraged, started up and tried to strike her with his fists. Knowing his wajs of old, the woman rushed ont of the room and house and into the yard ol a uei?lib3r for protec? tion. Shanahan followed, and came up with her in the neighbor's kitchen, where he drew a pistol upon her. She caught him by tho coat and begzed him, f jr God's sake, not to shoot her. Without listening to her, he dis? charged the pistol, and the ball, striking her In tte leit thigh, passed directly through and lodged in her right. She sank down, and the neighbors lelng attracted by the shot rushed In and secured Shanahan. He was taken at once te the Upper Guard? house, where he was placed under custody, and wi 1 b9 br miaX before the Mayor this morning. Mrs. Shanahan was taken borne, aud Dr. Lockwood having been called in, her wound received every attention. When last hear? from she was suffering great pain and the ball had not been extracted. Her wounds are serious, but are not considered dangerous. The pistol med by Shanahan oa the occa? sion is a fearful weapon, belog an antique j donble-barrel machine, covered with the rust of age .. und carrying a large ball. The second barrel, which was not discharged, is loaded up to the muzzle, and seem3 as dangerous to the person discharging it as the perron at whom it may be shot. Shanahan is one of the old policemen, and wa3 discharged a lew days ago from the Upper Guardhouse lor continued drunkenness. His conduct In this case has certainly sustained the decidion ol the officers. THE COMET FAIR.-The fair ol the Comet Fire Engine Company was opened Monday evening at the Military Hall, and ls nightly at? tracting crowds. The hall i3 handsomely ar? ranged with evergreens and flags, and the va? rious tables around the edge of the spacious apartment make a tempting display. DurlDg the evening the assembled company are re? galed wi.h the inspiring airs of Mitchell's Siring Band, and Terpsichorean effusions ara with difficulty restrained among the young people. The fair is conducted in an orderly and quiet macner. which well merits the patronage .of the public, and reflects credit upon the Cimet Fire Engine Company. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-About seven o'clock, Tuesday evening, Moses Stephens, a colored man, forty-four years ol 'age, while walking aboard of the stemshlp Georgia, lying al Union wharf, made a misstep In the dark, and was precipitated from the upper deck to-ihe bottom of the hold ol the ship. He waa taken up in an unconscious condition, and having gradually recovero 1. was taken to the City Hospital. Upon examination lhere, it was found that the lower end of his left thigh bone was broken into several pi?ces, and his back aras also severely Injured. - At last ac? counts be was doing reasonably well, and lt is hopettthat he w 1! recover wimont the loss of his leg. PHILIP JOHNSON PORCHER.-Our community will bear with regret of the death of this esti? mable gentleman, who breathed his lest yes? terday morning, at his residence on South Bay, *n ihe sixty-seventh year of his age. Mr. Porcher was a native of Charleston, and, though wiae.y known for the genial and at? tractive traits ot his character* never mingled in public lile. He was for many years a planter lo St.John'? ?erkeley.but ls principally known among oar business men as a successful bro? ker, and in connection with the Southwestern Railroad Bank. His relined a lt made him an ornament of the social circle, and he was noted for the hospitality wnlch was the chv acterlstlc of his generat'on. His death was the result of a general f ii lng ol his health. 1 The funeral takes place this morning, at St. Michaela Church. 1 T-*-? .? Hotel Arrl-rals-December 6. Chas. Wright, li ss Wright. Wm.
