Church The pews in the church have all

| The following description of the building we
copy from the American of yesterday morn
ing: "The. style Of the Gothic chosen in the
design is that known as the Early Pointed, or
Lancet style, which, on account of its simpli-
city, admits of being executed al less cost than
any other of the different "periods" Of the Co
! tho. The plan of the Church is cruciform,
the arms, as in the Greek cross being equal,
and the chancel occupying the head of the
cross Each of the fronts is gabled, the side
gables beng pierced with three lancet win
dows, and the chancel having a triple window
The tower occupies part of the south end, from
which it projects, and will be Ids feet high
from the sidewalk when the spire is added
glass, each frame being bordered into quarter
foil; the chance window is filled with rich
stained glass. The vestibule is under the tow
er and stair leads to the gallery from the
left. The gallery, including the organ loft,
extends across the south end. The dimen-
sions of the church, including the arms and
: the tower, are 65 feet wide by IS feet long
The walls are of brick. In the interior, the
Church is finished with an open roof ceiling,
showing PARTON of the timber framing which
is tinted of dark walnut color. The walls
are colored a light warm stone tint, and the
pews, which are open seats without doors, are
stained of a dark walnut hue. The ORGAN
gallery is supported on brackets and contains a
neat organ, in dark wood case, made by Mr..
Thomas Hall, of this city. The pulpit, lee
tern, chancel, railing, table and chancel furni-
ture are all Of solid walnut, of rich and appro-
pirate design. Against the wall, back of the
altar, and under the triple window is an altar
screen Of dark wood with series of lancet
arches-the middle two of which are filled
with the Tables of the Law. A stone font,
the gift of the architect, stands on the plat
form front of the chancel railing. The effect
of the interior owing TO the dark color of the
woodwork throughout is peculiarly solemn and
effective, and is thoroughly church-lke. The
whole has been designed by and built under
the direction of MIR. R. c. Long, architect
The lot on which the Church is built was given
for the purpose by Jno B. Morris, Esq,
Monumental Lyceum. Such of our readers as
have participated in the pleasures heretofore
attendant on the anniversary celebrations of
this institution, will be pleased to learn that
the ineipient arrangements for the observance
of the eighth anniversary give promise of more
than ordinary interest. In the selection of Mr..
! VIM. A. Connolly, as Orator for the occasion,
and Mr. +. ID. Williams to deliver an Original
Poem, the Lyceum has offered the surest qua
rantees of success. Both these gentlemen re-
ceved their respective appointments by the
unanimous voice of their associates.
IN Independent, pugiIistic ,Oaichman. We
find the following statement on the report of
the Middle District watch for Thursday night:
"Lieutenant Kennedy on going his rounds at
o'clock, went to the box Of watchman Dukes
and asked him to open the door, he being in
! side of the box; Dukes said he would see 1t.
Kennedy dead and id before he would open
1t. 1t. h. then sprang his rattle three times
at the box door, and then went to the corner of
| Baltimore and Frederick sts., and sprang his
rattle again, when watchman Jordan came up:
he then went back and made him open the
door of his boA, which was locked, when Dukes
made an assault upon Lit. X. and kicked at
him; 1t. X, to defend himself, struck Dukes,
he being very drunk and disorderly. He was
taken to the watch house and detained until
morning, when Justice Belt released him on
security to appear at Court" From the above,
one would infer that loatciman Dukes us was
has strong repugnance to being awakened at
that time of night, especially whilst it was
showing and raining, and also that he has the
precaution to guard the "inner man" against
the outward assaults of wet and cold, while
doing his duty.
Robbery. Officers Fuller and Barnard yes
terday arrested Sarah High, charged with rob
bing Rufus Nj. Hughes, of Sl4 in money. JUS
tice Cockey committed her for u further exam
ination. Sarah has been playing high game
for some time past, and has fair prospect of
coming out lo,o, unless she mend her ways.
Theft. Some thief on Thursday evening en-
tered the house Of Mr.. Philip Rhein, No. i
S. Charles street, near Lombard, and carried
off a fine black cloth frock coat. The coat was
new and not quite finished. You cannot keep
too sharp lookout for ''hfters;" they are al
ways about.
Uproarious The watch of the Western Dis
trict on Thursday night arrested Geo. Grove,
charged with being "excited" and disturbing
the peace, and also with assaultng and beating
his wife. He was committed to Jail by Justice |
Wright.
