vOus Urchins.

The ole First Presbyterian Church
building on south Fairfax street
which has ceased to be used for pub
lie worship, has since the holiday
had most of the panes of glass in the
front windows smashed by shot from
toy rifles which thoughtless dealers
dispensed in this city to add to the
dangers of Christmas times. An eX-
animation will show the power OF
the shots from these cOntrivances, a:
in some cases the holes in the glass
are about as large as hickory nuts.
