OF the Detective force, the thieves continue their
depredations, and robberies are not an unfrequent
occurrence. On Sunday night last the black smith
shop Of Messrs. DEwAN & HARVEY in Pinckncy
street, opposite Church, was broken open, but the
enterprising thieves found. nothing that could be
taken away. Fortunately tho shop contained only
the tools and iron necessary to the trade, and
these were not considered available plumber. A
few nights previous to this occurrence Messrs.
DEwAN & HARVEY hal left the new running gear
of wagon in the vacant lot adjacent to t@eir
building. During the night some thjoves who were
evidently ~practised hands, removed every particle
OF iron from the gear, and the proprietors found,
on their arrival, that their work was loves labor
lost, and would have to DO recommended. How
any parties could perform this job without attract
ing the attention of the police, appears singular,
and the only surmise liz, that they were not around.
ExPLosroN OF A SHELL.-On last Monday q
freedman on Wadmalaw Islands named Ned wash
ington, was endeavoring to remove the powder
from an old shell. He had almost succeeded in
effeeting his object, when becoming Disguised
with the slow process, he to6F an axe and endeav-
ored TO loosen the POWDER remaining in the shell.
TIE result was an explosion which shattered one

inmate Or the City Hospital, under the charge Of
Dr.. g.. CHATbgRN BRowN.- Since his removal to
thAtcity gangrene has set in, and it is feared that
the patient will not have strength to recover from
his wounds. s. h.'t -,
t" The feqnont accidents that have occurred fro..
the careless hsndling Of shells should be a warm
ing to every one, particularly to tho freedmen,
who are, in most instances, the sufferers, as their
anxiety to procure a small sum induces them to
handle the shells without using the necessary pre-
cautions. &*
LEoruaE THIS Observation-Disclosures e. A.
PonoHER will deliver q lecture this evening before
the Young Mons Christian Association, upon the
subject Of "The Psalms Of David and tho Metrical
versions Of them in use since the Reformation"
The lecture will be held in the College Chapel, and
will at quarter before s o'clock.
The Association is fortunate in having secured
the services or 90 able and talented a lecturer as
Professor PoRcHER, and the Professor has been
equally fortunate in having selected so compre-
hensive and interesting q subject for his discourse;
iOr VINO il there that does not love TO read and Oh
mire the Book Of Psalms, and who will not willing
~ embrace such an opportunity as this to learn
more about them, especially that portion of their
history which relates to their use in the ancient
Christian Church, and the principal metrical ver-
sions which have been made and used from STERN
HOLDS time to this.
We trust the community, by their presence this
evening, will show not only their appreciation OF
the AUTHOR and his subject. but their appreciation
Of the efforts being made by the Young Mons
Christian Association to successfully carry on a
series Of instructive lectures during the coming
Winter.
