the attention of the public to the entertain
ment advertised by the Sabbath school of the
sixth Presbyterian Church. This is the first
Of series that will be given during the fall

attend them that they will not only be graft.
fed, but improved and edited We have
heard the Rev. Mason Noble, the builder and
protector off this edifce and congregation, speak
in glowing terms of the improvement made by
the youth Of this Sabbath-school, and of the
influence which he trusted they were destined
to exercise for good over the minds of the youth
Of that locality and elsewhere. He entered
heartily into these entertainments, encouraging
and approving them by his presence and ad-
vice. and, since his departure from his native
land, other ministers Of the gospel, who have
been present at the recitations, have given
them their approval and support. The church
is situated at the corner of Maryland avenue
and Sixth street, Island. We would remark
en- PEASANT, that the Rev. Mr. Helfenstein, of
Pennsylvania, will supply the pulpit of this
church for limited period.
MANIA PoTU.-Last night man, appa-
rently sober, applied for lodging at the CEN
trail guard house. He was shown to a cham
Der in the lower range, where in the course of
the night he began to show symptoms of mania
potu. His fears were excited, and he re-
quested to be placed in a cell that did not
have two doors, as he was fearful that Mr..
Harper would get into him. He also saw rep
| tiles of frightful forms crawling on the floor.
| The keeper stood by him to Danish his fears,
and this morning he appeared we'll enough to
| depart.
RARIDKN, who was sent to Jail, charged with
assaulting and beating his wife, has been re.
leased at her request. She thinks that the
blow she received from him has not seriously
injured her. and she does not wish to prose
cute her husband. He is a kind husband, but
when under the influence of liquor he becomes
| quarrelsome. Justice Bates held him to Sc
curity.
