The New City is qreatly excited over the event. The County Treasurer announces in an- , ther column his appointments for the collection of taxes in tho county. Dr- "Warren has opened n market at1' Port Royal, and will keen the best Tonncssce Beef, besides Mutton, Pork Ac. j School Commlsdon'r r Gilbert left last Monday on avi-it to the schools i" the' ooulity. He expects to be absent about j two weeks. ? t-?y Our long lost Intcr.dant put in an appearance last Snturday, looking as well as could "be expected of a man who has tor three months been traveling over the ' country, and living off fatted calves and auch like. m Hf At the annual meeting of the i Beautort Lyceum, held last Thursday evening, the following officers were elected: President, S. D. Gilbert, Secretary, ( W. tf. Lockwood, Treasurer, J P. Boyce, i and executive committee. J. H. Clancy. J. N. fTallace, A. A. Chriotzbcrg and I "W. H. Calvert. The association propose giving a dramatic entertainment early | in February. HP^The poor of B'anfnrt count.v^are to bo fed for the year 187ft at An expense of ten and spven-eighths cents per day. . Lust venr Kingman offered to take the contract for eleven and a-half cents, and J his bid was rejected as tbe commission- | ers did not believe the poor could be fed I for that sum. t^T-Clafflin University was destroyed by fire last Thursday. The ben evolent have now an opportunity to contribute to tins institution for its rebuilding, as the money given by the Government to the state for educational purposes, and by the state given to this University was all stolen. 1 fjyit is important to tlio taxpayers to know when the 20 p.-r cent penalty will 1 | be enforced for non-payment. Trcas| urer Hurley gives notice that the penalty ^ will not Attach in Charleston county for 1 i sixty days from the time the books are J' opened. If the same rule .operates in ! ; Beaufort county taxpayers have until ! ] March 11 to pay without a peualty. ' m _ I 4 gyPi. Warren, who lias the contract j J f.. :.t. i e j 1..M - * - *i -i iu luiiiieu ucui nun > cgeuiuica 10 uilfleet, finding that 6ail boats were too i inreliabi -, has purchased the steam launch Fiirt, and now runs up and down the river against wind and tide whenever necessary. The little stcnmlioat is a beauty and will be a great attraction tor the guests of the Mansion House. . There was an alarm of tire on Monday evening, caused by the roof of the Frazer hom-e catching fire from a spa'k from the chimney. The engines did not partici pat.- 5n the commotion as after they were out in thc8trcet nobody could tell where the fire was, and they returned to their houses thinking the alarm a ho.ix. I Teaohere having orders on the school , funds left over from last year are very much provoked when presenting them at t the treasurer's office to receive It rnnlv cf ' "no funds." Mr. Holmes says that the j <1 rafts given him by Mr. Myers, the late treasurer, have not been paid and until be i6 in receipt of the money he can ' make 110 payments. The County Commissioners have given orders to prose^uto Mr. Myers, if a settlement is not made at once. Entered Jan 3rd Br.
