The band, composed of yoong men of this city, under Mr. LyBrand's direction, gave excellent music. The grounds pre? sented b very lively appearance. The trotting match excited much interest.

TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION.-One of j tho boilers at the Charleston Steam Saw ! Mill, more generally known ns Stein nieyer's Mill, exploded Monday morning, j at about half-past 10 o'clock, completely demolishing a two-story building and causing other damage. One pie?e of the boiler, about five feet long, was thrown a distanco of about 150 yards, and par? tially buried in a lot on the South side of Beaufain street. Tho other ond, about twenty feet long, was thrown about forty feet, tearing its way through the heavy brick-work surrounding it, cutting away the massivo beams supporting a largo water tank, destroying a brick chimney seven feet square at its base and eighty feet high, and throwing a large boater upon tho engino which stood within tho main building, damaging both considerably. Tho only parsons injured wero Norris Huggins,*a* colorod man. who was at work iu tho room over tho liro-house, sharpening saws, who was very badly bruised and scalded, and ono of the firemen; also a colored man, named Grant, who was slightly scalded. There is no clue whatever to the cause of the accident. Mr. George E. Stoiumeyer had tested tho water in tho boiler not iivo minutes beforo tho explosion oc? curred, and states that they were well supplied, Tho loss occasioned by tho accident will probably reach $3,500.

A severe fight and tho buming of tho village resulted. TE?e Bist? Fair. MB. EDITOR: "We are pleased to find that the Fair o? this, year is so Juli of promise. is ?jfar suprior, to Jha't. of lost year* Wo Aro trtfyn. the Secretary and hio>3siatanta that tho articles aro tar more mimorous than ?tho.se offered last year, and greatly superior in quality. Yesterday, many additional articles were entered. To-duv, a big crowd is ex? pected. VISITOR. # ? ? City money. MR. EDITOR: It is well understood in commercial circles that tho determina? tion of tho merchants to re?oive only "bankable currency" for their wures, Arc, has reference to the city money. The action of the merchants has been caused by the refusal of the banking institutions to reoeive it ou deposit. At the present time the circulation is very light, and will, no doubt, be absorbed by tho pay? ment of the taxes to be levied next spring. If the circulation had been ns largo as on former occasions, it would have worked great inconvenience on the laboring duse of thu community, as this currency is used almost entirely in pay? ment of tbe'laborer and mechanic. The mercantile community deserve the thanks of thc working-man for their action at a time which leaves but little in the hands of tho laboring classes. Tho merchants are the most prompt tax-payers, aud, in this view of the cuse., are" the best sup? porters of the city finances, but self-pro? tection requires that they should sell their merchandize only fur such funds as they can use to pay for them. Northern creditors and railroad companies will not I receive city money. MECHANIC. #. . ? COLUMDIA, S. C., November 8, 1870. A meeting of the merchants of this city was held this evening, in the Pal? metto Engine Hall. On motion, Capt. R. D. Seun was called to the Chair, and Mr. S. C. Peixotto requested to act us Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting to be to consider tho action necessary in reference to un current mouey afloat, inasmuch as there is a redundancy of tho same now iu circulation, to the detriment of the mer? cantile community. The following reso? lution was offered aud unanimously agreed lo : Whereas the finances of the country arc somewhat unsettled at present, and the banks are refusing to receive any other funds on deposit except United States currency, we, the merchants of tho city of Columbia, do hereby pledge ourselves to refuse to receive any other but bankable money for any goods, wares or merchandize, or in any transaction of a legitimate business character, until such time as the banks will receive suoh other issue as may be offered on deposit.

On motiou of Alderman Wigg, the further reading of ordinances was sus? pended tetnporaril}'. Alderman Wigg, from Committee on Ways and Means, submitted the follow? ing report: The Committee on Ways and Means to whom was committed a resolution di? recting them to inquire aud report upon what terms tho stock of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, held hy tho city, could be sold, would respect? fully report that they have ashed for oilers to purchase the same from capi? talists in Charleston, Augusto, Charlotte, New York and Columbia, but have failed to secure auy bid for same, owing to the stringency of the money market; the committee therefore ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the resolution.

BOUND TO DIE.-This is a fair speci? men of the vengeance with which they commit suicide in Kansas City. A man in the third story of a hotel fastened one end of a leather strap nround his neck, and ticing tho other end to a bed post, sat far out on the window sill and shot himself. Tho wisdom of this plan is evi? dent, from the fact that if the shot fail eil, he would have fallon out of the window and be hanged by the strap, and if the strap broke, he would have gone to the pavement and been a bad mess for the undertaker. Norfolk Bivalves, in every style, at POLLOCK'S. PLEASANT REMINISCENCES.-One of tho Parisian journals, of a lato date, regaled his readers with an historical account of the horrors at tho siege of Paris, in the reign of Henry IV, in tho year 1590.

THE LATEST.-We thought tho Eng? lishman who did away with himself be? cause, as asserted, he was tired of but? toning and unbuttoning hi? suspenders, was the greatest of eccontrices. But not so. A man in Ottawa, Illinois, has just hung himself because his wife refused to cook some mutton for his supper.
