The MITE.-There was an unusual
~ large attendance at the Mite at the
NJ. E. Trinity Church last night, or as
we heard lady pun gently express it,
there were nifty sight " of people
there. The evening was beautiful but
cold, and the streets being frozen, the
walking was fine. Most of the churches
were largely represented, and it was
most delightful affair. A most
hearty welcome was extended to all,
and all seemed highly pleased, the
members of the various churches and
congregations fraternizing with true
christian spirit. Delicious refresh
ments in great abundance were served
up, and to which full justice was done.
The elegant parlors were crowded, and
the lecture room was occupied by
goodly number of young folks, who
singularly enough, divided off in pairs,
and from the earnest conversation be-
tween some Of them we shall not be
surprised if the services Of the pastor,
assisted by the County Clerk, shall be
presently required. The church So
cables have an excellent tendency to
church unity, - .g m /
RECEIVING eSToLEN GooDs. Bur
rell Taylor and W. Ell. Edwards were
brought to this city in irons yesterday
from Rockport, on the Morning Star,
and lodged In Jail onia charge of re-
ceiving and eoncealing stolen goods.
These young menu viii be remem-
bered, were arrested some days ago,
with another person calling himself
Geo. Irwin, who robbed Mckinney &
Richardson, of Rockport, and taken

developed which led to the charge be
ing preferred. against them, and an
affidavit was fled against them in
open court. They waived an exami-
nation and were held by Judge Par

the jurisdiction being in this county,
they were sent here to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury They are the
owners, or part owners. of the trading
boats on which the goods stolen from
Mckinney & Richardson were found,
in the lower part of this county.
THE HEIGHT OF THE WATER
Mayor Baker yesterday took a level
at the corner of Locust and Water
Streets to determine the height of the
water, He found it about two feet
below the top of the curb stone.
There is no probability that it will
rise to that height at this time. The
river was. however, rising steadily at
dark last night, and our dispatches
from points above do not indicate an
immediate decline, or that it will be-
come stationary at once. ~
/ LANDED-The telegraph brought
the intelligence, yesterday morning,
that the Ocean Queen, from Aspin-
wall, had arrived at New York.
Among her passengers was our much
esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. VIM.
Brown, and we may hope to see his
pleasant face in our midst again in a
few days. His many friends here, and
elsewhere, will be glad to learn of his
safe arrival at home, after an absence
of nearly six months. :"
| AN EXCELLENT IDEA.-We under
stand that the City authorities are ar
ranging to establish a permanent
water mark, and will watch the rise
carefully to note its, dculmination,
and to mark it clearly for the benefit
of coming generations. This is good
move, and we hope it will be carried
