SABBATH scuooLs.-We had the pleasure of be-
ing present ut the celebration of the Sabbath
School of Citadel Square Baptist Church on last
Sunday afternoon. The services were OF very
impressive and interesting character. and reflect
great credit upon all who have exhibited so great
interest in promoting the welfare Of the young,
by religious instruction. Such instructions are
calculated to be Of much benefit particularly
when conducted on the plan adopted by this
Church, where music becomes one Of its features.
The exercises were commenced with Sunday
School hymn, sung by the children under the di-
rection Of Professor GEO. A. ROBINSON, whose un-
firing efforts in giving musical instruction to
them has been amply rewarded by the beautiful
manner in which quite number OF hymns were
sung during the afternoon.
After prayer by the Rev. MIR. CUTHBERT, Pastor
Of the Church, the Superintendent of the School,
W. 8. HKNNEnY, Esq, read the Annual Report
which was very satisfactory, and gave evidence
that the teachers, by their zeal and perseverance,
| had again fully established the School, after
temporary suspension occasioned by the war.
The children were then addressed by the Rev.
Mr.. CUTHpRET in his usual pathetic and instruc-
tive STYLE bringing to the attention Of parents and
children their duty, and the advantages to be de-
rived by early religious instruction.
| LIZ. .. d. pROWN was nexI CaiieQ Oh, VINO au-
dressed the congregation and children in chaste,
Distinct and handsome manner, which could not
but elliott the appreciation and hearty co-opera-
tion Of all present,
Another hymn by the children, and the bene-
diotion by the Pastor closed these pleasant exer-
cises, which could have been enjoyed by the large
assembly for q much longer time.

n colored man was killed under the following cir
cumstances: Tom Levy, freedman, living on King
street. below Tradd, had "fuss" with his wife;
she run out into the street; he pursued her,
pistol in hand, and ordered her to come back
She grasped his hand, as to prevent his shoot
ing her. He fired, and shot his brother, Jim Levy
who happened to be one of several colored per-
sons standing close by during the n,elee. The ball
took effect on the left side OF his neck, severing
the carotid artery, it is thought. The hemorrhage
was very profuse, and the man died in about 10
minutes Tom ran back through tho lot (Afr.
PENDERGAsr's), jumped the fence into the Scotch
Church yard, and got away. Several freedmen
standing by volunteered to assist the police in
their efforts to capture him, and succeeded about
IL 2. III. in arresting him On East Bay. Tom sus-
tains bad character in his neighborhood; dis
posed to be quarrelsome; always carries pistol,
and threatens to use it on the least provocation
