CRUMBS.-The cisterns about the city are showing signs of exhaustion. Uoswept cbitnnles and Incendiaries become more dangerous In cold weather. TAXES.-This ls the last day allowed by law during which the county treasurer can re? ceive the State taxes without the Infliction of a penalty of twenty per cent! The rush of Friday and Saturday will be anticipated this morning by an arrangement which will mate? rially expedite the business of the office. PETTY LARCENY_John Brown, a colored youth, was arrested yes erday afternoon with a hat and shirt in his possession which he is changed with stealing from the store of Mr. Hoffman, In King street, near Market. The prisoner will be brought beiore the Mayor thia morning._ NEW YACHT.-A fancy yacht called the Francenia, of about five tons, arrived here last night from Boston and different ports on the coast, last irom Wilmington, N. C. She ls on a pleasure excursion along the Southern coast, and is anchored for the present off the Battery._ UNUSUAL DISPATCH.-The favorite Bteam ship James Adger, Captain T. J. Lockwood arrived here from New York about nine P. M. Friday last, discharged a valuable cargo, took in a full freight of cotton, rice and other mer chandlse, and left on Sunday about nine A. M making only tbirty-Bix hours In port, with full freight both ways. LAUNCH .-A handsome scbooner-rigged smack was launched on Saturday last from the ship yard of Mr. Sebastian Z?nogner&, at at the east end of Wentworth street. She ls constructed of the best materials, and does credit to the mechanical skill of Mr. Zan o g?era. The vessel was built fur Captain C. 8. Wakfer, who has secured a most excellent craft, and one well suited for Ihe business for which she was built. She ls intended princi pally for the Ashing business. Row rx SMITH STREET.-About ten o'clock on Friday night two white men, a little the worse for liquor, became Incensed with an of? ficer of the police in Smith street, near Went? worth, and began to curse him in the most outrageous style. He arrested the parties with the aid of another officer, and the latter took the captives to the Guardhouse. On the way thither one of the prisoners drew a knife on his escort, but did not use lt. They were brought before the Mayor next morning and sentenced each to pay a fine of two dollars. One paid and the other got off. -?-? CLUBS AND STARS_Jacob Singleton, ar? rested on the charge of stealing money from Mr. Durbec, in Beaufalu street, was held for iurtber examination. ! The owner of the chimney on fire Friday afternoon was sentenced to have the ecro^ swept. A cow, found wandering about St. Phillp street, was fined one dollar, which tbe owner paid. A confirmed lover of the ardent, found lying In a comatose state In Market street, preferred to sr end five days in the House of Correction rather than pay a fine of one dollar. FIRES.-Between five and six o'clock Satnr . afternoon an alarm of fire was caused by i burning ol a chimney on the premises at tie corner Hasel and Anson streets, occupied by a colored woman named Mary Small. The flames died out lo a few minutes. A chimney on the premises occupied by M. Pinckney, in Laurens street, opposite Marsh, took fire about half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after burning a few minutes was put out by the neighbors. The occupant was reported, and will explain ta the Mayor this morning. About four o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the new two and a half story dwelling, owued by a colored man named James Michell, at the west corner of Green? hill and Tradd streets. The alarm was given quickly, and soon after the bells were rung the. engines arrived. Owing to the high wind which prevailed at the time, and the inflam? mable material of which the bouse was built, , the flames spread rapidly, and the firemen could only succeed In confining the devouring ?element to the single building, which was . totally destroyed. The loss was fully covered by a policy for fifteen hundred dollars in the agency of Mr. John L. Honour. The house was to bave been completed by contract in seven days and was unoccupied. The fire was without doubt the work of anincendi.try, who must have been at some pains to accomplish his object as (although the doors and windows were closely fastened,) the fire began within tbe house. * "THE Cow JUMPED OVER THE MOON."-This remarkable vaccine ?xploit has generally been regarded, by people of mature years, as one or the heights of impossibility, but an in t occurred at the Upper Guardhouse last week which seems to countenance the belief -lhaf there ls not so much exaggeration In the nursery legend alter all. A melancholy cow, nd roaming about the streets, was captured Clubs and Stars and locked up In the atlonhouse yard, preparatory to being fined by tbe Mayor next morning. During the night the animal became uneasy, and seeing no one about,entered the back door leading to the men's quarters on the second floor, and nothing daunted by tbe unusual character of the feat commenced the -ascent of the Btalrs. There were two flights. First, a flight of len Steps, then a narrow platform with a second flight of nine steps in an opposite direc rectlon. "Such a giitln' up stairo" was never heard before, and the noise speedily brought the officers of the watch to Btop the supposed row in thc men's quarters. In passing through the jard, they glanced up, and were astonished to behold the horned head of a cow protruding from the second story window. A plaintive "M-o-o!" con? vinced them that it was a real cow, and, goiog he stairs, by dint of a vast deal of shoving pulling, they made the ambitious quad id retrace her steps to a more appropriate sphere. She had actually walked up the nine? teen stairs, rounded the sharp corner, and stood like a romantic heroine at the window contemplating the new moon in the cold. The cow was fined next morning, and the owner drove her off. A wag suggests that the officers had been dining off calves' head sonp, but the facts as given are well vouched for, and can be substantiated by a dozen witnesses. THE FAIR of tbe Niagara Fire Eugine Com pt.ny at the Militar; Hall was well attended during the past week. On Friday, in addition to the music and other accompaniments of tho fair, the visitors were surprised with a hop, which, they enjoyed up to a late hour. Tho following prizes were drawn : A pair of glasn vases, by Miss M. lu Wilkinson; one fine al? bum, by Colonel W. N. Taft; one baby, by C. Miller; one bunch of bananas by Captain H. C. Minott._ THE BIBLE CAUSE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The following extract from a letter, dated 1872, Is from a lady communicant of the Epis? copal Church. She says: "ThlB is the week of prayer, kept by all Christians throughout tbe whole world. I feel lt a privilege to unite my feeble prayers with theirs, and as we must not only say but do, I enclose you five dollars for the Bible Society." Hoping that others may emulate the example of this lady In behalf of the Charleston Bible Society, it will afford me pleasure to receive contributions for lt through Mr. J. N. Robson, Eist Bay, and Mr. Fogarlle's Book Depository, No. 260 King street, Charleston. S. C. E. A. BOLLES, r Agent A. B. S. 8. C. UP- TO WN POSTAL FACILITIES. Au Appeal to Postmaster Trott.
