Euch verso is a picture in itself, und it is seldom that we lind bo .much pathos, thought and Bentiment in a single production: I saw him once before, As he passed by the door, And again; The pavement Btones resound As he totters o'er the ground With his oane. Tbey say that in his prime, Ere the pruning knife of time Cut him down, Kot a better man was fonnd, By tho crier on his round Through the town. Bnt.now he walks the streets, f And looks at all he meets, So forlorn; And be shakes his feeble head, Till it seems as if it said, They are gone. The mossy marbles rest Over lips that he has pressed la their bloom; And the names be loved to bear Have been oarved for many a year On the tomb. My grand-mamma has said? Poor old lady, she is dead, Long a go That he had a Roman nose, And his cheeks were like a rose In? the snow. But now his noso is thin, And it rests upon his chin, Like a staff; And the orook is in his back, And the melancholy crack In his laugh. 1 know it is a sin ^ For me to sit and grin At him bore; Bnt the old throe-cornered hat, And the breeches and all that, Are so queer. , If I should live to be The last leaf - upon the tree, In the spring.

Dear Sir : I have the honor to inform you that the case of John Lynch vs. tho city of) Columbia, to recover damages for obstructing ingress and egress to and from Iiis .?table, situated on Davis' alley, was tried during the j lest term of the Court" rif Common Pleas for this county, and a verdict rendered in favor of the plaintiff for $180. From this result, I saw | no substantial ground of appeal, and, there? fore, declined to increase tho useless addi? tional costs of carryiug it to tho Supreme Court.. I also have the honor to report that Judgo Carpontcr, after a full argument, has decided in favor of the constitutional power of tho I mayor and aldermen of the city of Columbia to assess and collect a license tax for corporate purposes, such as is imposed by your ordi? nance of the 23d of Docember, A. D. 1872, en? titled an ordinance to rcgulutp license for tho year 1873. Notice of ?an appeal, however, was immediately given, and the question will be argued in the Supreme Court, at the Bamo I time with a similar question, arising under j tho adverse derision of Judge Cooke in regard , to tho same ordinance, from which an appeal by the city was taken. My associate, Major j Molton and myself, hnvo vory great confidence in tho soundness of our opinion that the judgment of tho Supromc Court will be In favor of the city in both appeals. A potition was received, signed by most of I tho members of tho polico force, for .an in croase of pay. Motion of Alderman Taylor, to give thorn $60 per month, and let tho perquisites all re? vert to the city.

Tho committee on ways and means re? ported back tho report of the city clerk and treasurer for tho month of September as examined and found correct. On motion tho report was concurred in. Tho committee on ways and means, to whom was referred tho matter of putting up oil lamps on streets whore gns could not be obtained, reported as follows, and on motion by Alderman Ilogo tho recommendation of the committee was concurred in: Roomsof Committee Ways and Means, Columbia, November 10, 1S7:?. To the City Council of Columbia: Tour committco to whom was referred the resolution instructing them to ascertain the probablo number and cost of oil lumps for lighting the city, where pus cannot be ob? tained, havo investigated tho matter and find that if two lamps nro used at each stroet crossing, it will require 300 lamps, in addition to those now in use. If but ouo lamp is used for this purpose at each street crossiug, 150 will be required. Tho probable cost of each lamp, including the post, will bo about $10, and tho expense of lighting the same per month, including two men's sorvices, will be not to exceed $1.60 for each lamp. Tho committco recommend that ouo lamp at the corner of intersecting streets, and one between corners, or in tho middle of tho square, bo erected, and tho same bo lighted with oil where gns cannot bo furnished by tho gas company. Tho committee believe that well lighted streets form tho best possible safeguard against burglars and thieves. Tho entire cost of lamps, etc., will probably fnll within $3,000, an expenditure of .public money which every taxpayer will heartily endorse. I.. C'ass Carpenter, Chairman. The committee on ways and means reported that they hud n petition from Mrs. 31. It.

Sul/.b?elier, quart license; concurred in. new business. The committee on ways and means offered the following resolution recommending a dis? count oi five per cent, to persons who pay tuxes bofore January 1st, 187-1, which was. on mo? tion, adopted: Whereas tho panic in financial affairs, which exists throughout the country, has rendered it necessary for the City Council to issue its obligations to pay, in order to afford relief to its creditors; and whereas scrip, whether issued by corporations or individu? als, except national bunks, affords only tempo? rary and local relief, nnd is, to a certain ex? tent, a burden upon business; and whereas it is til* intention of the City Council to re? deem its scrip with tho money collected from taxes; and whereas the tiino for the collec? tion of said taxes is yet three mouths distant; therefore Jiesolvcd, An an inducement for pooplo to pay their luxes in udvauco of the time for collection as established by law, the city clerk and treasurer is hereby authorized and in? structed to allow n discount of tlvo per cent, to all persons who pay thoir tuxes on or be? fore tho first day of January, 181-J.
