The weapons used were double barrel shot guns, distance forty yards. Col. Rhett was accompan ied by his friends Dr. J. Dickson Bruns, and Mr. Charles Roman.

Was closed for vacation on last Wcd nesday the 25th, and will remain closed during the Summer months, affording that mental and bodily recreation so much needed both to teacher and scholar. The career of this popular and estab lished school has been a success since its opening, and each session adds to the roll of its scholars. The faithfulness and thoroughness of the mode of instruction imparted, ajRl the special care manifest ed fur the moral training of the children placed under the charge of tho principal, affords advantages which are seldom to ho had in similar institutions. The in centive which "impels every effort of the child and movcs.it to success, is a desire to please its teacher, this acts as a charm overall the scholars, and a generous rivalry animates tho cntiro class room. The exercises of examination showed a proficency and degree of study, that re warded both child and preceptress, and covered fully the capacity of the exami nees. Upon tho conclusion of the exam ination and review of studies, there was a charming treat of recitationfroin sev eral of of the scholars. Master E. Glo ver led off with a happy little speech, "Vacation." Misses Mary and Ella Rull, nnd Misses Bella DoTrevillo and Carrie Izlar, formed a quartette of bright descanters on "The Birds." The "evan gelical dialogue!' by Misses Ado DoTro ville and Fanny Jenney was rendered in a felicitous style. Miss Minnie Ed wards seemed to appreciate the fervor of thought which glowed in the author of tho "Two Cities," in her recitation of that beautiful piece. Miss Julia Jcnnoy's rendering of the "Sncrilgeous Gamesters" was an achiovmcnt of study and taste.? Miss Fanny Jcnncy's "Editor," would have repaid the attention of tho crowd, who think the tripod a bed of roseate case; "Look Aloft," by Miss Abbe Hut son, "Life," by Miss Emily [Scoviljc, and tho "Miser" by Miss Lena Jeffords, were till bcautif\il!y delivered. "Que ries,"' by Miss Bessie Glover; "The May Queen," by Miss Goorgio' N?rrls; "Con found Arithmetic," by . Miss Mary Bull, "The School Room," by Miss Lucy Dan ner, "Tho Littlo-Family," by Miss Otis Whitniore, "Adieu," by Miss Lizzie ?Bull, "Sorrow and Joy," by Miss Clara Wiles, and "Morniug and Noon," by Miss Neta Sifley, were pieces ail rendered in a tasteful and creditable style. Master Charles Danncr told of the "Thoughtless Youug Muu," and Master Thcodoro Jef fords actually was radiant in his "Clo3C of Term," and full of hopes ? of bright holiday. After five months of hard study, and closo application, both of) scholars and teacher, the list of prizes was read, and awarded,^ 1st prize Miss Lena Jeffords. 2d prize Miss Ada DcTrevillc. 3d prize Miss Julia Jouney. A Tic was made between Misses Lizzie Bull and Fanny Jenney, for tho 4th prize. In the primary department the prize was won by Muster Thcodoro Jeffords. Owing to sickness, and not entering until several weeks after the session hud commenced Misses Edwards and Rick'en backer did not compete for prizes. Tho morale and tone of the school is of the highest order, and reflects credit upon the teacher who so fully deserves the reward of a popular and prosperous institution. communicated. Mr. Editor:?What must wo do when our papers and letlors cannot be received from the office where they are sent? I did not get your ever welcome Times last week, and the same with the S. C. Advo cate, which never fails, unless something is wrong in the P. O. I also bad a very important letter put in the oflice at Or angcburg.on 21st which has not reached me yet. Now Mr. Editor, if your paper had been the only one missing I should have blamed you, but when there are so many missiug at one time the P. M. must be at fault, and that P. M. is at Fort Motte. Can you please call his atten tion to tho fact, and perhaps it may be of some good to our community. ^ ^ [We received the nbovo, and publish it that the Fort Motte, P. M. may have his say so. It is no small matter to have letters and papers misscnt or held back and every care should be observed in giving people the benefits intended by a post oflice.] [fbom ouk ciiaki.eston connK5i?oxnKNT.] Charleston Letter. Charleston, July 2, 1873. "Blessed be the man who invented sleep, said "S?nchb Panza," and in the same spirit, we are inclined to say,? blessed bo the man who invented ico, and all manner of cold contrivance," calculated to cool and refresh scorching humanity, during the long hot sultry days of summer, and the closo. damp nights?when every day appears as hot as it can possibly be, and wo only realize how much hotter it can become, by com paring to-da) with the day proceeding? and when the song of tho mosquito "is heard in the land." It is a fearful sub ject for contoniplation, that this savage little creature lives entirely on man, and draws its subsistence from our most vital principle?and it is mortifying to chron icle, that only the "fair sex" of the mos quito race, (Lcs dams mos) pursuo this murderous employment?but facts aro .stubborn things, and naturalists assure us that this is tho case. The origin of the insect like that of a higher class of a "dusky color," is involved in tho deep est mystery, whether they aro aboriginees of our coast, or whether imported in the clothes or trunks of the early settlers? wc have not been able to ascertain. It is however very evident, that the air and climate agree" wonderfully well with them and they evince no disposition to emi grate, but arc seemingly well content to abide in the land whore their forefath ers nourished. To "bo fruitful and mul tiply," is a command they admirably illustrate?tho number of births in their family always being greatly in excess of the deaths. Their appetite is insatiate, and their behavior while feeding denotes exquisite enjoyment?plunging their proj bosis or siphon deep into tho skin of the unlihppy victim, the hind legs more in kicks of perfect satisfaction, and tl\e whole body quivers in an ccstacy of de light. Their temperament is highly courageous, no peril prevent* their dc predat'ioin?, no danger deters them-^and their triumplmut strains arc heard,;, its tho object of their attack engages in fruitless cflbrts for their extermination. .Not the least interesting of tho very few sights to bo seen about our city, is the "diving apparatus," now used in the harbor by Professor MaHlefert, for tho recovery of iron, and other valuable stuff from tho wrecks of boats "sunk*, mostly duriug tho war : portions of the "Hoosatonic," tho "Keokuk," and-^? Confederate gunboats, havo already been obtained, the Professor possesses a diver among hi3 employees who almost rivals "Nicolo Pcscc," in boldness and intre pidity, for a costume ; he wears a suitaf rubber, fitting very closo, and perfectly watertight, covering his head and a part of tho shoulders, is a kind of metal hel met, having in frout a pieco' of glaas through which to sec, tubes attached to this contrivance supply tlm driver wifTrj air, and large leaden weichts aro attach ed to dffercnt portions of his person; ar rayed in this fashion the diver can Wore a very long time under tho water. Some time since, a shark of the largest kind was seen playing around tho boat from which our diver launches?down how | ever he went as unconcernedly, as if the1 fish had been in tho middle of the Atlan^l tic ocean. On coining up ho Was asked] whether ho had seen tho fish, "No," was the reply, "but I felt him,' as heJ dashed gassed, aud I judge from his be^ havior he whsi vory hungry." -It would appear that the shark, who is a veritable.! coward among fishes, although the most*] blood-thirsty, is frightened by the strange dress of the diver, and fails to recognize the "nice morsel" when put up in a cov ering of rubber and metal. Having spoken of "Nicolo Peace," it. may be not uninteresting, to give a short account of this very remarkable person age. He. lived in the times of Freder ick King of Sicily, and was from his amazing powers in swimming, sur namcd "the fish ;" from his infancy he had supported himself by the oysters and coral, which he dove for, and then sold to tho villagers on the coast. He was frequently known to spend five days at a time in the midst of the waves, living on the fish which he caught, (this we con sider as fishy.) He often swam over from Sicily into Calabria, carrying the letters of the King, (there were no pos tal cards cards in those days).. Some mariners, once out at sen, observed what they took to be a "Sea Monster," but on drawing w""-?' P*tn,*''iAiA3" \" tun sea was very Inch, and the weather tempestuous but "Nicola" was carrying correspondence as usual, and showed the sailors the waterproof bag containing his mail. This wonderful personage how ever possessed a great anvantage over ordinary swimmersj the spaces bctwen hie fingers and toes being webbed like a goose, and his chest was so spacious, that one inhallntion, would serve him the en tire day. For a man of such rare powers ?lite end excites our pity?at the sug gestion of the King, he dove down to .dis cover if possible, what was at tho bottom of the calf of Charybdis, being further induced by a gold cap the monarch had ordered to be flung in, Nicholas was suc cessful and brought up the cup, but in a* second attempt; in search of another cup and purse, neither Nicholas, or the arti cles were ever heard of again, and he perished ; if not in the service of his country, at lonst in that of his King. Our Postal Card arrangements com menced on the 1st. If any any set of men deserve the compassion of their race, on account of the trying nature of their du ties, wc commend to the public sympathy the mail carryers. The patience exhibit ed by .Job, was trifling in comparison to what theso gentlemen will be called on to display; we suppose, at least one fifth of tho houses here nave neither bells or knockers?at these the post-man will bo obliged to try various little devices to make himself h?ard?and when there aro bells or knockers, the usual delay of our servants will cause him, if he is pious, to assume a martyr like expression, and if otherwise, to rdiit his feelings in some of those strong expressions for which the English language js so celebrated.
