THE MASONIC CELEBRATION.-A number ol ladies congregated yesterday at Archer's Hall, and were busily engaged in the pleasing task of preparing wreaths, festoons and mottoes the coming Masonic celebration. It ls the HRentlon of both the fraternity and the ladies interested to make the occasion one worthy of the cause and creditable to Charleston. No efforts will be spared to further that end, and the co operation of the fair sex ls earnestly re? quested by the committee on d.corations. Il the weather is favorable a la'ge attendance is expected at Archer's Hall, corner of King and George streets. AN EXTENSIVE ESTABLISHMENT.-The hand? some stables of Messrs. R Graham & Co., cn Chalmers street, have recently received an Ad? dition which more than doubles their capacity foi the accommodation of four-footed animals. The large brick building of Jeffords & Co., ad? joining the stables in the rear, has been ren* ed by the firm, and fitted up in first-class style with stalls and per?. The building thus added can accommodate over one hundred and twenty mules In the various penn and one hundred and twenty-five horses with stalls. It affords also a handsome opening on Queen street, and the stables now extend clear through from Chalmers to Queen streets, with entrances on both Bides. The addition Is made with a view to the accommodation of the an? nual droves of mules and horses which arrive here during the winter, and the blue-grass men may reply -ipon good attention and ac? commodation in this quarter. It ls a fact not generally known that more horses and mules have been sold this season than during any other since the war, and the Increasing trade demands corresponding facilities. The in? vesting in horses for pleasure and use, and lu inules for plantation and farm work, is a sure ""^Mslgn of Increasing prosperity, and Messrs. R. 'Graham A Co. will, doubtless, experience the benefits which their enterprise and energy de? serve. THE HOLTS AT SEASON. Of late years it has become more the custom to make purchases of holiday goods before the rash commences. This ls wise, as the buyer hos a wider field for the exercise o| taste, and is much more likely to secure bargains from the tradesmen. In order to accommodate this class, shrewd dealers in Christmas and New Year's presents prepare their shelves and make their announcements somewhat ia ad? vance of the regular noliday season. Adver? tisements of this kind are already appearing in our columns with profitable resulu.acd others will doubtless follow to catch the early traie. We propose this year to give notices of holi? day goods a conspicuous classification, and to call attention to them in this column lo the extent they may merit. Dealers should there? fore send lu their favors as soon as possible. AMUSEMENTS. Fra Dia volo at the Academy. Auber's charming opera was charmingly per? formed at the Academy last night; the audi? ence, on account of the inclement weather, being less crowded than usual. Mr. Habelmann, wholly recovered from his indisposition, acted and sang with both grace and power. He was warmly applauded, and hlsslngingof "Sleep Well, Sweet Angel"'. (In the place of .dories la Jouvencelle) won for him a richly deserved encore. Tne two bandits (Messrs. Carl and Wilhelm Formes) mide a myriad hits, and were, as was proper, overwhelmed with applause. To? night the company play Nonna, and as their performances steadily increase in lyrical and dramatic merit, the musical public may count upon an entertainment ol no ordinary kind. To-morrow our Charleston Saengerbund will take part In Der Freisch?tz, when the rates of admission will be reduced to popular prices, at which the Academy should be jammed in every nook and corner. THE .?ETNA FIRE COMPANY-The forty sec? ond anniversay meeting of the .-E na Steam Fire Engine Company was held last evening at their engine house, in Queen street.

The business of the meeting having , been dispatched, the members found a more inviting task In the discussion of a collation. THE CHIMSEY SWEEPS.-The citizens of Charleston are particularly requested to be cautious in employing any chimney sweep without the authority of the contractor o? the ward, or, If employed in emergency, to for? ward the feea to the office, and in no case are they to be paid to the sweep. The offices of the chimney contractors are located as fol? lows: Ward No. 1, corner of Church street and St. Michael's alley; Ward No. 2, No. 79 3road street; Ward No. 3, No. 63 Market street ; Ward No. 4, corner of Wentworth and Meet? ing streets; Ward No. 5, No. 13 Elizabeth street; Ward No. 6, Garden's alley, King street, nearly opposite Reid; Ward No. 7, corner of Nassau and Columbus streets; Ward No. 8, No. 13Ro3e lane. Office hours from eight to nine A. M., and from twelve M. to two P. M. THE BEN.VETTSVILLE AND SOCIETY HILL RAIL? ROAD.-A meeting of the citizens of Marlboro' was held in the Courthouse on Monday, as we lejirn lrom the Bennettsvllle Journal, lor the purpose of hearing an address from Major B. D. Townsend, president of the Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad, upon the subject of a rail? road connection between Benuettsville and Society Hill. The meeting was largely attend? ed, and Major Townsend's speech listened lo with much interest. He stated that the route bad been surveyed and the dis? tance ascertained to be eleven miles, and the amount of money necessary for the construction of the road to be one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, of which it ia only necessary to raise filly thousand dollars by subscription, as the balance could be easily raised upon a first mortgage. He showed in a variety of ways how Marlboro'County would be benefited by the building of the proposed roa 1, and how unreasonable are many of the obJecUons urged against lt. He s'ated that, il the people of Marlboro' will take hold ot the enterprise ard go actively to work, it will be ea?y for them to get assistance elsewhere; . but that lt ls nectary for them to put their I.own shoulders to tne wheel before expecting help lrom others. The speech, like every? thing that comes from Major Townsend, was replete with reason and good sense, and can? not fall to produce a good effect upon the community. LADIES' BENEVOL ENT%S O CIE TT. Inconsequence of the sickness prevailing untli recently, the annual meeting of this so? ciety was deterred. Rut as there are frequent demands for aid from the sick who aro with out necessary comforts, and the funds are very much reduced, donations are solicited. The subscription has been reduced from five dollars to two dollars and those desirous of becoming members or continuing their sub? scriptions are requested lo send the amount to Miss Smyth, No. 12 Meeting street.

Michael's Church, In sympathy with the Diocese of South Carolina, would express their feelings of sorrow for the death, and respect for the character, of their late revered and beloved Bishop, the Right Rev. Thomas F. Davis. They design not to pronounce 'ormal eulogy-that would be super fluous. They wish only to give utterance to their sense of the loss which the diocese has sustained, and their sincere admiration and high apprecia? tion or the rare qualities tf mind and hearr, of learning and purity whlchladorned the deoeased, and rendered bis life an eminent illustration of all the principles ef religion. De was indeed a good man, full of wisdom and of the Holy Ghost. His administration of his responsible office, under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, most remain an enduring memorial of his worth, endearing him to all who held official relations toward him, and, we reel assured, shall be followed by a rich reward in that Home of tho Blessed, where now he "rests from his labors." HU was indeed an heroic spirit, and none may know bnt himself the fortitude and self denial which sense of duty and devotion to his Master lemanded, and which were BO faithfully and cheerfully exhibited throughout long yeara of physical Infirmity and suffering. He has "now entered Into his rest, and his works do follow bim." While we lament our own loss, In being deprived of his presence among ns, and the lessons of wisdom which he taught, we Joy In believing that his gain ls unspeakable. May bis example be blessed to the church of which he was BO faithful a bishop and shepherd. Being dead, fut yet speaketh. JAMBS R. PRINGLE, Chairman Vestry and Wardens of St. Michael's Church.
