The long drought we have been and ure still vis igiß| finished what of destruction was fefsjßSponc by lazy freedmon and the grass. is everywhere parched ; and giißfc occasionally a cloud heaves in view, I Bpahing breezo springs up, and the vrJpw.of thunder is heard,no rain falls. It by many that tho crops are irre- lost. Wo would fain bo contrary but nothing is impossible with Him Is HBhc bands we are. MfcoßDEK's Court.—There were but ■iKh before this Court yesterday. An BKpd dissolute freedman was fined SOO, MBaaty days’ work on the streets. It is Bry long since ho left Fridge’s board .fjH£nte—unci back thcro be will go. AVelorvd woman, charged with violating section, was dismissed ; and a few were continued. If the busi- V WfGft this Court doesn’t improve, we shall HBp Invent cases for tho benefit of those to read about Court House affairs. Hion RWT9.—The Pcternburjr ImUr of Ally list myc Ills very evident that the rents in Petersburg tbis fall will bo greatly roducod from the prieos of the pre sent and past year. Thu goodly number of stores standing idle on Sycamore, Uolling bruok and Old stroete will compel a reduc tion in tbo rents of those at prcscut occu pied, and the demand for dwelling houses is not oae-flfth as hoavy as it was last year, and we t|re ounfident a reduction of from fifty to a hundred per cent, will have to be made. Tho rents for tho pasttwelre months have been most exorbitant, far exceeding u rea xonable demand, and in nutnbors of instances have we known house keopors to pay at least one-fourth the entire value of tbo premises occupied, and some of the stores on Syca more street have brought amounts that be fore tho war would have been considered n fair price for them, accompanied with a bill of sale. Landlords have been reaping a rich harvest, but their day wilt soon be run, and “ amen’’ will be tho eebo of our community. The .Tohn'ky Rkbs.—This band of young Confederates from South Carolina gave their first entertainment at Concert Hall last evening. They are highly recom mended by citisens of Columbia, and some of them may be known to our citizens, as, during the war, they gave Concerts for the honofit of tho soldiors. The troupe is com posed of good singers, accomplished musi cians, and experienced humorists ; and wo hope to see them well patronized during their brief stay in our city. They are our own people, and giving an amusing and ac ceptable outorlainmeut, they ought to bo sustained. Tbe Columbia papers have alluded to them in high terms, but they also speak for themselves: and we advise all who aro fond pf good music, good singing, and a good laugh, to go and See and hear the “Johnny Rebs” at Concert Hall. Sensible Conduct.—The Darlington Southerner brings tho following interesting piece of intelligence: Two brothers, soldier* from tbis district, and married meupfell at their post ot duty in tho late war. Their wives and little children saw before them a very gloomy prospect. Since the close of tho war, how ever, two old bachelor brothers of the heroic deceased have sacrificed the charms of “sin gle blessedness,” to a sense or duty, and married the widows. 11l the place of suffer ing and despondency there is now food and protection and contentment. These true hearted old fellows say, it was our duty to take oaro of the fumilies of our poor brothers, and we knew of no better way of so doing. Tho English Parliament could scarcely re fuse to make an exception of such a case and declaro theso marriages valid. The ex ample is worthy of all commendation and imitation. Preparing to Repair.—We notice that preparations are in progress for re pairs on that branch of the South Carolina Rail Road, running through Washington Street. While new planks are substituting the old and worn —the drain over which they arc laid receives tho attention of the scavengers. The fence circumvcsting the Carolina Rail Road grounds, is fast approaching completion. Not ■'Healthy. The atmosphere round about some one or more yarda on Ellis Street, jnst below Campbell, is redo lent with some kind of “scent,” very far removed from “Night Blooming Cereus,” or tho best Angus de Cologne. If tho Lot Inspector would “pass that way," we are inclined to tho belief, he would find that a rat or something else has come out of its hole and died. Mr. Quinn, from his new Book and Periodical Store, 189 Broad street, nearly opposite the Daily Press office, has sup plied ns with Jlvrpet'e Monthly for August. All who desire the latest publications, will do well by calling at No. 189. To Teachers.—By reference to our Speciul Notice column it will be seen that the Trustees of the Weston Academy will proceed to elect, on tbe 15th August next, a teacher for that Institution for the ensu ing year. Extending. —Workmen are engaged in running a branch of tho Water Works from Broad street to the house of the Vigi lant Fire Company, on Reynolds street. A fire plug is to bo placed near the Engine House. Day, Russell & Benjamin have an extensive sale again this morning, iu front of and inside store.

Webb’s Lodge.—The members of Webb’s Lodge will see a notice for them in our special column. Pianos to Rent.—Persons desirous of renting Pianos can find several at Oates’, 240 Broad street. Children’s Books.—Mr. George A. Oates has just received a fine assortment of books suitable for children of all ages. Barbecue. — bee advertisement in an other column of a Barbecue on Thursday next at R. Phillip’s, Hamburg. ■ —An English paper relates that Rev. Paul Hamilton, a Scottish clergyman, preached a farewell sermon to the ladies of Ayr, and not a little to the surprise of his fair auditory, gave out as his text: “And they fell upon Paul’s uecl;, aud kissed him.” Rules roR Courtship.—Courtship is a pleasant fancy game, frequently played between tbe opposito sexes, at private tables, and much liked by the You commence with a ‘miss,’ first ‘taking your cue’ from your fair challenger’s eyes. Ba cartful not fo‘force’ 100 much | it is better to ‘follow.’ Never struggle for the ‘lead ;’ always yield it to the lady. If she keeps you nt arm’s length, use tbe ‘Bridge of Sighs.’ Explain to her tbe delicate manoeuvres of the game — especially tbe advantages of the ‘kiss,’ which you can illustrate by concussing the ‘two reds.’ Observe how she ‘batiks,’ and where this is important. Tell her what is meant by ‘hugging the cushion,’ and hint modestly at the kind of cushion you would like to bug. If she‘scratches,’ don't mind it, but play for ‘safety;’ or, if you have a chance, ‘run;’ but when you have a ‘favorable opening,’ mnke a ‘bold offer, at every ‘hazard.’ Should you have ‘bad lack’ try again ; yon may suc ceed in the ‘long run.’ Never think of ‘pocketing a ball’ in your own head if disappointed. The maxim holds good in courtship as in billiards, that it is madness to make a ‘shot’ by which you are sure to ‘hole yourself.’ Much de pends upon ‘coaxing’ in this pastime. Broadcloth, by faithfully attending to the above hints, will generally get the best of crinoline, and in three eases out of five will win a ‘love game.’ —A rare conversion was witnessed in one of the Jewish Synagogues iu Memphis, lately, according to the jour nals of that city. Mrs. Lewis, a Chris tian lady, who had married a Hebrew, openly embraced the Hebrew faith in Church. This was probably tho first occurrence of the kind which ever took place in the State. Tho lady was re married afterward according to the Jewish rite. —The Baptist Convention of Louis iana has taken decided steps to educate the orphan children of soldiers. ~ Wheat Wanted. Wheat! Wheat!
