A DisgrdcefM Act. Some unknown peison or
persons entered the Presbyterian Church, at this
the carpets, broke the pulpit lamps, poured oil
over the floor and books, upset the sofa in the
pulpit threw the Bible on the floor tore the tapes
try from thb pulpit-stand, mutiated the Sunday
school books and otherwise disgracefully robbed
and mutilated the church. No clue has yet been
given OF the parties who instigated or committed
this dlabolical deed. Nothing has ever occurred,
so far as is known, to provoke such conduct, even
from the most debased and unprincipied wretch
that wears the shape Of man.

Robbery Again.-Verily our citizens are COM
PEELED to be continually on the qut uiue, for as
short crops accompanied with starving freedmen

quantity Of bacon, &C., distracted therefrom
On Sunday evening Mr.. Ross was knocked down
on Bay-street, near his store, by negro, who at

pistol the ebony rascal fed. shot was fred at
him, but with no effect Georgetown Times.
