The cistern at the corner of Wash ington and Zion streets is rapidly ap proaching completion, and when finished will furnish an amplo sup ply of water in case of fire. The cistern is well constructed, and will last well. We also observe that the Council has recently put hands to work in clearing away the erossings on Congress street. These cross ings are always very muddy, ahnost impassablo, after a rain, and they should be kept always clear. The work now being done on the crossings under the direction of the Council will put them all in fine condition. We would call tie at tention of the Council to the large puddle of murky, stagnant water in front of Mr. Boag's lot at the corner of Liberty and Congress streets. This place should be so drained or filled up as to keop it free from the foul and stagnant water that is now constantly there.

It' has been cured in a very great number of cases (some of thmem appareontly desperate ones) by Schmenck's Pul,. mionic Syrup alone, and in others by the same medicine in connection with Soenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both accord ing to the reqnirements of the case. The old supposition that "Cons sumption is incurable,"' for many years deterred Physicians from at tempting to find a remedy for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without an effort being made to save them from a doom which wvas con sidered inevitable. Dr. Schenek himself was supposed at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pro nounced his .case hopeless and abandoned him to his fate : lie was cUnaD by the nforesaid medicines, and afterward enjoyed uninterrupt od good health for~ more than forty years. Thousands of people have used Dr. Sehenck's preparations with the satne remarkable success. Saheno1k's Alnanna cn-ainin~ a Liver Complaint, )yspopsia, &e., can li had gratis of any druggist, or of J.

(COURESPoNDENo OF THis Ns AND'.nEA.).] InGEwAY, Decomber 29.-A few items, in this article, will close the dottings from Ridgeway and its neighborhood for tho year '77. The delightful weatlier, just pro ceding Christmas, was followed with constant soaking rains that filled our stroots with slush very much liko the slush you have in the Boro during a wet spell. But, nevorthcloss, the "Hot Supper" given by the ladies to aid the Mloiso Light Artillery, of our town, was quito a success. Everybody was pleased and satisied, the young folks had a fine time in dancing, and the ladies realized a handsoime sum. It is said we are to have a large grist and flour mill established in our town in the near futuro. The acreage put down in small grain is larger than in former years. Although the farmers wore late in getting it in, the favorable, weather has germinated the seed, and as a general thing has secured good stands. Cotton is not all gathered, as the backwardness of the crops has prevented the late bolls from open ing. The crop, as a general thiing, is short, and consequently the spirits of the farmers are low-flat -blue. Our merchants have paid for cotton a highur price than the Charleston prices, with the extor tionate rates of railroad freights, warranted-seldon leaving an iota of margin for profit. ML%r. Hal Edimunds, of the firm of R. S. Desp,rtes & G.., has a p.atont dated Dce. 4, 1877, for "The Gauge for Tobacconists." This is an ingenious contrivance to enablo the sellers of tobacco to out off a five cent, ten-cont, fiftoon-cont, &c., piece of the propjer longth or size from a plug of tobacco of any price. This gauge will save more to the tob)acco seller in a month, thani tile price of tile gauge. Hurrah for Ridgeway! We are all very blue at the idea of having to pay anothler tax in tihe next thrvee months, out of a very short crop, the pr1oceeds of which are already en tirely exh/a usted. Cannot the State borro(v onloughi money to runl the government anI othler year, and distribute the tax for '77 among tile next five annual taixes,-say a fraction over twvo mills a year-and pledge t!.is two mills to be added to the taxes to b)e assessed annually for thme next live years, to the payment of the capital and~ interest borrowed for this p)urposo? If something of this kind is not done, over two-. thirds of the land in Fairfield wvill be sold for delinquent taxes in 1878. Our Lodge of A. F. M. installed Mr. T. Elllison Cloud as WV. MV., and the other oflicers, on tile 27th inst. Harmony prevailing, we had a p)leasant, social time of it. After a beautiful day yesterday serene, bright, clear and t'emperate -we have a blustering nlorthl-east wind to-day, accompanied with rain, foreboding a freeze. ,Messrs.
