4 rather lsughable incident occurred In a Ger
tain church in this city yesterday. The congre-
cation having assembled for service, the 0rganist
commenced playing, when suddenly uucarthly
sounds from the neghborhooi Of the organ. and
evidently eminating from the lungs of a Thomas
Cat
The young lady at the organ, as may be ex-
pcctel was also somewhat surprised at the ac-
compartment to the organ music, but at cucc
realized the fact that some irreligous cat had,
contrary to all known precedent, taken possession
Of the organ. After the first outbreak OF pas
sion from Mr. Cat, bis cutcries were not suiii-
ciently foud to be heard, excepting by parties
who were sitting near the organ, aud the musi-
cal part was got through with and the minister
commenced his sermon While the sermon was
in progress, the choir, Id by their brave organ
ist, attempted to release his ca;ship, but were
unable to do so. They were in a quandary-
they knew it would soon again be necessary to
use the organ, and they wished TO avoid the
former accompaniment
At last the moment for action arrived, and
the organist again applied her fingers to the
keys, and the worshippers were again startled by
the yells cf that Thomas Cat. The mortified
young lady could not, however, cease her play
ing, and she determined On a coup d. etat-
which was to drown, il possible, the cats mus
ic, with music from the organ, AID with this
object in view, she began to finger the keys in
earnest-and with will Fortunately, at this
point his catship fell from the organ TO the floor,
in an insensible state, and after lying there a
little while, jumped up and ran of.
The irreligous animal proved to be the minis
ter's cat, which had followed him to the church
the previous evening, and had wandered to the
organ-BHfdlO Courier.

TO The EDIIOROF THE NEWS.
At this season, the good people OF our
cherished and once respected city have no show
or theatre to amuse them, and they are COM
PEELED to spend their leisure moments as they
can. The Honorable the City Council of
Charleston. having the public welfare at heart,
and not desiring Office or emounents, have
kindly consented to give frequent public ex-
hibitions, eq ual to any tragedy, comedy or
farce; but as the area Of, the Council Chamber
is limited, and in hot weather might be pun
gent and disagreeable to sensitive noses, we
suggest the following as an additional and inn
perative rule for the future government Of this
august and digny6ed body:
. Rule Hereafter all meetings OF this Council
shall be held on the Citadel Green, where q
pavilion will be erected by the good and loyal
taxpayers. sufficiently spacious to admit all
lovers OF fun to ,ur intellectual entertainme
and that as adjuncts thereto, there will be !
.sprize ring" and shooting gallery" and it the
foolish '.taIpayers" will only pay promptly, the
amount intended to be assessed, there Will be
furnished grab bag" in which there are to
