MSS. The fine rooms of the Young

filed Yesterday afternoon, the occasion
being the weekly temperance prayer
meeting. Rev. Benjamin Kelley con-
ducted the exercises, and offered prayer,
followed by Rev. Mr.. Anderson and
others. Earnest remarks were made by
several gentlemen. The singing was
GOOD. We learn that the meeting was
very interesting, and that the friends
Of the cause are greatly encouraged

A collection of three dollars was taken
which is to be devoted to the purchase

Me- We understand that the congre-
cation of the Third Presbyterian
Church resolved yesterday to change
their second preaching service on Sun
day, from evening to afternoon-the
change to begin on the first Sunday in
April. For the next two Sabbaths the
service will remain in the evening as
heretofore. In making this change it
is, we are informed, the desire of the
people to try to supply a want long felt
in our religious community OF on adj
ditional Sunday afternoon service. All
our Presbyterian churches at present,
and nearly all the others, are closed in
the afternoon while there are many
persons, who would be glad to attend
an afternoon service, who cannot con-
veniently go out in the evening. We
are requested, therefore, to extend q
cordial invitation to the public general
ly to attend upon the afternoon service
in the Third Presbyterian Church.
Strangers will find themselves always
welcome there, and ushers will be in
waiting at the doors to show them to
pews.
A correspondent informs us that the
circumstances of this church are pros
porous, and that the best of feeling
prevail among its members. -Four were
added to the church at its communion
yesterday. Two additional deacons
were recently elected, Mr.. Samuel
Crane and Mr.. E. M. Sayre, who will
be installed in office next Sabbath
morning. The pew rents in this church
have been resolutely kept low by the
Trustees, in order to exclude none who
may desire to join in its worship. The
highest rent is sixty dollars a year !;
good pews can be obtained for from
twenty to thirty dollars. An earnest
desire is expressed by those connected
with its organization to make the best
use of their valuable church property
for the advancement of Christ's cause
in this community.

E@. Bold RoBBERIEs.- Yesterday
morning was selected as proper time
for thieves to ply their vocation. Be-
tween three and four o'clock, when no.
nest people were sleeping soundly, and
the snow was falling gently, one or two
gentlemen (?) "might have been seen"
in kneeling position on the porch Of
Mr.. Bishops residence, northeast COR
ner of East Grand and Spring streets.
They succeeded in picking the lock,
and would gladly have entered had not
a bolt on the inside of the door stopped
their progress. After reciting the i'm
mortal lines of Squibbs, "'Twill never
do to give it up SO, they proceeded to
the residence of Mr.. Benjamin Barton,
near by, and soon an entrance was eff
fected by picking a lock. Here some
silver spoons and other, articles were
taken. Christopher Columbus and his
followers were no more overjoyed in
discovering the new world, than were
these house-breakers in spying fine
leg of mutton, which had been nicely
cooked for a Sunday dinner. A portion
of this was speedily devoured by Mr..
Barton's unwelcome visitors, and they
left without even returning thanks, or
asking Mr.. B. and his family to return
the friendly visit. But other calls were
to be made, and there was very little
time for formality. Mr.. Reuben Canniff,
who resides near Mason's grocery store,
was next called upon. A light was
strick as they passed up stairs. and
Mrs. c. heard them and gave the alarm,
when they retreated in good order
They took no more with them than
they brought. Leaving East Grand
street, they called at house occupied
by widow and her daughter, opposite
the Catholic school house. Picking a
lock, they were soon in the house. One
of the inmates awakened, but being
timid, did not give the alarm. We
learn that nearly three hundred dollars
worth of valuables, including quanti-
ty of iewelry, were taken. We have
heard of no othez robberies, although
we imagine the above will do for one
night, especially as three of the resi-
dences were situated close to each 9th.
er. We advise all to have bolts on their
doors, and keep them bolted. a ~

upon yOua number corresponding to

the most favorable auspices. We have
had many Christmas trees and many
presents. There are still some aunts
and uncles that have not performed
their duty, but we hope that they will
do so without obliging us to resort to
severe measures. My relations with
foreign Powers nre as favorable AS could
be desired. l have received from all
parts precious letters OF friendship
from England large cake; from
Portugal many oranges; Italy has sent
mo large bag of chestnuts; Greece has
hOnOred me with boxes OF rHisins; Tur-

Smyrna figs; SPANS homage was fresh

champagne; the African Princes have
sent many dates; other nations have
shown an equally generous disposition.

very important matter. Having no
other desire at heart than the happi-
ness of my people, have decided TO
choose husband, and my royal choice
has fallen on Edward Thornton, whom
order you to love and esteem. From
this moment confer upon him the title
of The Duke OF Candies and Prince of
Sugar plums." hope that next year
we shall again be reunited, and that l
shall then be able, as now, to announce
to you the happiness which Providence
has again designed to shower upon my
country. have ordered my Ministers

THE recent unexampled cold In
Western Kansas took the people so by
surprise that almost all the freezable
produce OF the season was destroyed.
The potatoes were left in the ground
but, before it was dry enough to dig
them, they were croze solid. Terrible
suffering by cold and hunger is the
consequence. II is feared that hun
dreds of families are in danger OF per-
ishing. Wood, in some places on the
prairies, is thirty dollars cord; and at
many homes there is said to be neither
fuel nor food. The towns and villages
of the State are actively organizing
charities for the suffering country, and
they should receive the prompt and
bountiful aid of those in other States
who are more blessed.

IN the case of George S. Twitchell,
Jr., of Philadelphia, charged with the
murder of his mother-iu-iaw, Mrs.
Mary L. Hill, the charge of the court
was delivered by Judge Brewster, and
at half past eight o'clock Saturday
evening the case was given to the jury.
AT thirteen minutes before nine o'clock
the jury came into court, and in the
deathlike stiffness that came over the
audience rendered a verdict of guilty
OF murder in the first degree" The
prisoner clasped his hands, raised his
eyes and exclaimed. 80 my God !" The
young man who has attended him so
faithfully throughout the trial gave a
Wild cry of pain and fell sobbing upon
the neck of the prisoner. The father of
the latter appeared deeply affected also;
but it must be said of the little group
formed about the dock the doomed man
seemed the less moved. Great excite
ment prevailed in the court room, but
posse of police succeeded in preserv-
ing order.
