LOCAL NEWS.

Y. NJ. G. A.-lhe first Of the series of
meetings, preparatory TO the twen.y-secopd an
niversary meeting of this Association, to be
held on the evening of January Is, was held
in the NJ. E. Church, South, last night, and
although not so largely attended as was ex
pected. was most interesting occasion. The
subject OF special prayer-the clergy of the
city che blessing OF God upon them, and that
they may be imbued with the "Word Of the
Spirlt" was responded to, by those who lead
in prayer, most heartily. Short addresses we're
delivered by Rev. Mr.. Waugh, pastor of the
commencing tho object of the meeting 10 very
high terms, and regretted that SO few of the
clergy of the city were present. For himself,
he felt under obligations to the Young Mems
Christian Association of this city for the kind
ly interest manifested in him aud those of his
brethren of the ministry, for next to the
graces of the Spirit, he desired the prayers of
Gods people that he might know the mind of
God aud preach the Truth in its simplicity.
After singing III, hymn, "Joyfu!y, joyfally,
onward | move" the meeting was dismissed
with the benediction by Rev. Mr.. Waugh.
A similar meeting will be held next Tuesday
night at II Q clock 10 the NJ. f. Church.
INCORRECT. Was reported, this morning,
that an attempt had been made, last night, to
fire the large three story house 90 King street,
adjoining the drug store OF DIR. r. II. Stahler,
lately occupied by DR.. Cox, the dentist, but for
a week or two past empty. The rumor was
that the front door had been forced open, the
floors saturated with coal oil, and scattered
over with tow The fact was that SOME one in
leaning against the door had broken a weak
latch, and that the floor of the front room OF
the grouud floor had been stained with bacon
grease many years ago when the house Was
used as grocery store.
