We are under obligations to friend Hewitt, of the Globe Hotel, for a pitcher of elegant egg-nog, sent in on Christmas morning. It was our mis fortune to be absent when the donation arrived at our sanctum, but we don’t blame Hewitt for that; be did just what he always does—his part in the matter. — Au Elegant Present. The congregation of the Christian Church-, of this city, availed themselves of a Christmas custom on Fridayjmorn jng, in sending to the residence of their beloved Pastor, Rev. James S. Lamar, as a present, an elegant Silver Waiter and Pitcher. Attached to tlie articles presented was a small card» inscribed, “Our beloved Pastor ; from the members.” The delicate and unostentatious manner in which the presentation was made can but add to the greater appreciation of the articles by the Reverend gentleman who occupies such an exalted position in the Chris tian affection of his people. The whole matter was planned and exe cuted without the knowledge of Mr. Lamar, until he was made the recipient of this elegant and appropriate gift. - Police Arrests. The following arc the jiolice arrests for forty-eight hours past, to 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon: Alexander Rayford, colored, inde cency in the streets. Win. Munro, Amos Edwards, Moses James Warren, Wm. Johnson, Wm. Roan, Mose Williams, George Wil liams,’and Mln. Wardall, all colored, for violation of 18th section. • Two white men were arrested for having aboard a little too much “Christmas.”. < ♦ Severe Accident. A negro man named Broadwater, from Barbour county, Alabama, was the victim of a severe accident in this city on Friday morning. He had taken passage, with his mother, on the morning train of the Central Rail road, at the Union Depot. Just pre vious to the starting of the train, he left the car for the purpose of making a small purchase, and, returning, caught the train at the switch, on Washington street. In the attempt to get aboard, he missed his footing, and fell with his left leg under the cars, which passed over it, breaking and mashing it to such an extent as to necessitate amputation below the knee. He was promptly conveyed to the Freedmen’s Hospital for treat ment. A Handsome Gift. J. 11. Estill, Esq., proprietor of the Savannah A T e«-s,|was made the recip ient of a handsome Silver Service from the compositors of that establishment, on Thursday night. The presentation was made through M. J. Divine, Esq?, foreman of the Meies office, and look place at a “stone meeting,” about midnight. The present consists of a handsome silver pitcher, salver and two goblets. Upon the pitcher is inscribed, “ Art preservative of all arts.” “ Presented to J. 11. Estill, Proprietor, by the Compositors of the Morning Meics Establishment. December 25th, 1868.” On the salver is engraved the words, “ Merry Christmas,” and the cups bear the initial letters, “ J. H. E.” We congratulate our cotemporary on this evidence of his great popularity with those who are. engaged with him in the publication of one of the most enterprising news journals in the State. A Foul Murder. A most outrageous murder was com mitted in Charleston, on Thursday morning, by a negro man named Jim Loring, alias Indian Jim, upon the person of Samuel Dawson (colored). — Loring secreted himself on a vessel lying at one of the wharves, but was discovered and arrested on Friday. The body of the deceased was wounded in no less than twenCy-ftro different places. ——l Il ■! I On Thursday evciiuig the congroga tiot of s«.

Thia tree was richly laden with gill* for the children, and its fruit* were gmicr* ously distributed among the in. Th* gift s of clothing, etc., so appropriately bestowed in many instances upon tlie poor and needy little children who were present,caused sunshine to many little hearts whose enjoyment of the season and it* festivities depended eu. tirely upon the liberality of our Chris* tian-hearted community. The good feeling evinced by the little ones, as they received tlie gifts so, generously provided for them, was a wealth of re ward to tlie kind-hearted citizens who’ devised ami executed this means of contributing to their comfort and grati fication. ST. .lAMEs’ CHURCH. On Thurday evening very interest ing services transpired at St. James’ (Methodist) Church, in connection with tlie Sabbath School of that con gregation. An elegant and richly laden Christ mas Tree had been arranged by the members of tlie congregation, for the pleasure and gratification of the Scholars in attendance on St. James’ Sabbath School. The exercises were opened with appropriate music by the. Church Choir, and with prayer and reading of the Scriptures by Rev. I S. T. Hop kins. Joseph T. Derry, Esq., delivered a most timely and interesting address to the children, after which the Scholars sung, in their usual felicitous style, an appropriate hymn. The Pastor, Rev. G. 11. Pattillo, made a few remarks, after which he proceeded to distribute prizes to mem bers of the “Try Society,” an associa tion of children and young people for the purpose of promoting the reading of the Bible? These prizes consisted of beautifully printed cards, with the words, “Search the Scriptures. Pre sented to —by St. James' Try Society,” signed by the Pastor, as President and Martin V. Calvin, Esq., a« Secretary of the Society. Superintendent. Deny then proceed ed to distribute a number of books among the children, after which he also distributed over four hundred packages from the elegant. Christmas Tree previously alluded to. Thomas H. Holleyman, Esq., in behalf of the scholars, presented an elegant silver pitcher and a couple of goblets to the efficient and loved Su perintendent of St. James’ Sabbath School, William C. Derry, Esq. These gifts, elegant as they were, attest only to a limited extent the Christian love and confidence felt by the scholars toward Mr. Derry, who has labored so long and faithfully in their behalf. ASBURY CHAPEL. The Sabbath School scholars of As bury (Methodist) Church, on Christ ina* l>ay, assembled at 10 o'clock at the Church, when the exercises were opened with singing and with prayer by Rev. James M. Dickey. Appropriate addresses were made by the Pastor, Rev. C. W. Key, aud Master James Tice and Miss Ida Castleberry, scholars, interspersed with songs selected for Jhe occasion. The distribution of gifts from a magnificent and most handsomely ar ranged Christinas Tree was then made to the great pleasure and delight of all concerned. At the conclusion of the distribu tion of gifts to the children, W. J. Pollard, Esq., the able and beloved Superintendent of Asbury Sabbath School, was made the recipient of a handsome silver goblet from the scholars, through .Master Willie Mc- Kenzie, in a neat and happy little address. Mr. Pollard was taken com* pletely by surprise in this presenta tion, everything relating to the mat ter having been carefully kept from his knowledge until the very moment at which the offering was made. He, however, acknowledged the compli ment in fitting terms, evidently feel ing more in his heart than found utterance from his lips. Tlie Committee in charge of the arrangement of the very complete Christmas Tree for the occasion de serve the highest commendation for the taste displayed therein, and for the very faithful manner in which they labored to promote the gratifica tion of those connected with the School. We are glad to know that this School is in a most prosperous condi tion at present, about three hundred scholars having been in attendance on the interesting occasion here de scribed. . ?*■ . THE LUTHERAN SABBATH SCHOOL. The congregation of the Lutheran Church provided for tlie scholars of ; their Sabbath School twp elegant and tastily arranged Christmas Trees. At about 4 o’clock in the afternoon of Christmas day a goodly mmilier of the congregation assembled at the Church, -r ' , with the children, wheu Appropriate . exercises were participated in by old i aud young, to Uie very great pleasure '| ot both parents and children A gon i era! distribataou ot gifts waa madh to > the children from tlie richly laden and ■ highly ornamented Christmas Trees ‘ provided for them, and all reluctantly • withdrew from a mt so fraught i with pleasure to aach attendant.

We regret that circumstances have ■ operated to prevent us from securing I a full report of the proceedings at this 1 Church on Christmas Day. The most bountiful provision was made for the entertainment of the scholars of the Sabbath School connected therewith. An elegant table was spread forthem, in addition to which was also provided a Christmas Tree, laden with the deli cacies and gifts incident to the season, all of which were dispersed with lib eral hand among the children in attendance. Christmas and its Incidents. Christmas Day was ushered in with a brightness and grandeur peculiarly typical of the feelings which should exercise the human heart in its celebra tion. e The weather was rather icy for street promenades, aud, as a conse quence, the utmost good order, as a general rule, prevailed throughout the city during the entire day. The con duct of the colored population was within keeping with the regulations of propriety, only a small number of fights occuring from a too free-use of ‘ tangle-leg,” and these not to the ma terial disturbance of the good order and peace of the city. It was tlie gen eral verdict of those who were called out on this streets, that they had never witnessed a more quiet and or derly observance of the day. Large crowds of citizens'attended the levees of Gen. Tom Thumb during the day. The tiny Shetland ponies belonging to Tom Thumb attempted to “play horse” in our streets, and run away and break things. They did not suc ceed as to the latter. The “Vigilants” had their engine out for trial, and to test repairs re cently made. It worked, but not so smoothly as is desirable. The “Georgians” entertained them selves and friends with egg-nogg at their engine house. All sober. An evil-disposed husband was ar rested about 4 o’clock in the morning, by Constable Anthony, on a warrant taken out by his better-half. He had married a widow who had a son. She made this son a Christmas present of a pair of pantaloons. Husband be came exasperated and beat wifey therefor. “My dear” wouldn’t stand it, and asked the law to her relief. It came, very early in the morning, and took “hubby” from her bed and board, to “show cause why,” etc. They ap peared before Justice Phinizy and set tled the matter, the husband paying cost of warrant, eta., and went on with their Christmas. About half-past five o’clock, some pel-son cried “fire.” The bells caught up the alarm. Firemen rushed for their “maaheens,” but failed to find the fire. The Hook and Ladder Company, in their hurry and bustle to get to the fire which they dind’t find, run their machine against Hewitt’s east iron lions, at the Globe, and knocked to pieces the brick pedestals on which they were crouched. The lions behaved with die utmost forbearance toward the firemen, who came off’ with just as little damage as did Daniel from the den of living lions. Two young gentlemen of our ac quaintance, somewhat wearied with the labors of the day, were indulging in a promenade, discussing the pecM liar characteristics of their own and other great minds of Georgia, when they suddenly struck ice—with their heads—on the pavement. The posi tion of each being so suddenly inverted, necessarily suspended the argument, and in the struggle to regain their resjiective platforms, the thread of their discourse was lost in the dark ness which prevailed thereabout. 1 Q I ■ To the Clerks, Sheriffs, and Okdinarys of the State of Georgia. —This is to notify you that the Wes tern and Atlantic, Macon and Wes tern, Atlanta and West Point, and the Georgia Railroads have authorized us to say to you that they pass you to our Convention here on the 15th day of January, 1869, at one fare.

Vcatcrdii) inoniing, between I and 2 o'clock, the large two atory aud a half w ooden buihling, corner of (Jui tre an<l Mercer streets, in Hamburg, S. C., and originally known as “Hub bard’s Hotel,” was discovered in Haines. The first floor of the building was occupied by Mr. Davis l.ipiiill as u’ grocery aud provision store, ami as a family residence. The first intima tion which Mr. Lipfall had of tbo fire, .was the breaking open of his door bv the citizens, just in time to prevent him and his family falling victims to the devouring element. He sprang out the bed in his night clothes, gathered his three children, and with his almost frantic wife, re paired to a place of safety. In the excitement of the occasion, and in the successful attempt to rescue his family from destruction so terrible and im pending, Mr. Lipfall dropped a pocket liook containing about §soo’ in greenbacks, which Ire had taken from the drawer of his bureau when first made aware of the danger to which himself and family were ex posed. No doubts arc entertained that the pocket book and its contents were consumed in the general de struction of the furniture, wearing apparel, etc., which so soon followed the escape of Mr. Lipfall and his family from the burning building. Almost the entire stock of goods in the store of Mr. L. was destroyed by the fire and the pilfering of the very large crowd of negroes which had as sembled. A hogshead of bacon shoul ders, which had been saved from the fire, was almost entirely lost by theft, and other goods to an extent as yet unascertained. Mr. Lipfull held a policy ot insu rance on his stock—valued at from to §3,000 —for only 11,000, in the Eufaula Home Insurance Company. He liad no insurance on his furniture, little of which he saved. From the building occupied by Mr. Lipfall the tire communicated to an adjoining brick building, and thence to a small wooden building, both of which were unoccupied. The wood work of the brick building was almost entirely consumed, leaving the walls standing complete. The small wooden house was only partially burned, but badly torn up in the effort to check the progress of the fire. These buildings wore the property of Mrs. Jane Levy, of Augusta, upon which she is insured to the amount of $1,500. Under the present depreciated value of property in Hamburg, her loss may be estimated at from §3,000 to §4,000. The origin oj the fire is not defi nitely known, but it is generally be lieved to have been entirely accidental, as the flames were first discovered issuing from the roof of the destroyed building, near one of the chimneys. But for the prompt and efficient service of the well organized fire de partment of Augusta, a still larger conflagration ensued to the almost complete destruction of the business portion of Hamburg.. Our noble firemen promptly rallied to the call of distress, and labored with most untiring faithfulness m subduing the flames. The highest gratitude of the citizens of Hamburg is expressed for their noble generosity in assisting to save the town from destruction. Concerning General Grant’s Intentions—By Mark Twain.—l had said to him : “ Sir, what do you propose to do about returning to a specie basis ?” To which he made no audible reply. Then 1 said: “Sir, do you mean to stop the whis key frauds, or do you mean to connive at them?” To which he replied as before. I then f aid: “ Sir, do von propose to extermi nate the Indians suddenly with soap and educatton, or doom them to the eternal annoyance of warfare, relieved only by periodical pleasantries of glass beads and perishable treaties ?” No response. “ Sir, have you got your Cabinet all set ? What are you going to do with those Blairs ?” “ Let us have peace “‘Sir, ami to have Ntvby's post office, or —” “Go to the—mischief! 1 have a thousand of your kind around me every day. Questions, questions, ?[uestions! If you must ask questions, ollow Fitch, and inquire after the Erie rolling mill—you’ll have steady employment. I can’t stand it, and I won’t stand it—l will have peace!” If a man isn’t about speechless who never says anything but let us have s»eace, pray what is he? And yet those Bureau people abuse me for re forming it. 1 will never do a kind act again. . Not on the Alabama Rolls.— Tlie Montgomery Mail says: “While J. Q. Smith was holding court last week, an old l:uly with ahvbak voice, stated that ‘God was her lawyer,’ when the Judge asked who appeared for her. Tlie Judge not hearing her distinctly, looked over the list of at torneys, and said very politely, ‘My dear madam, does he reside in this State?

Broun, C. J. —By the third item of the will of A. V. he gave to his wife during her widowhood, certain negroes and other personal property, and about five hundred and twenty acres <>f hind, knawn as his “Home Place.'’ In ease of her marriage the negroes were to be divided into three lots—she to take one, and his two youngest sons, each one share, and his said two sons to take the balance of the property in said third item, in cluding the “Home Place,” which was to be held by their guardian till they were of age. Testator afterwards sold the “Home Place” to K. for $ I <4,000 and took notes and gave bond for titles. After this sale he added a codicil to his will, in which ho ex presses his purpose to give direction to a “certain fund that he shall have,” and recites the facts of the sale of the “Horne Place” for SIO,OOO, and di rects that “said sum of money” be reinvested by his executors in a plan tation for the use of his wife during her life or widowhood, and if she should marry again, said plantation to go to his two youngest sons, as set forth in the third and forth items of his will. He afterwards collected $2,500 of the purchase money, which he used, and soon after died. The balance of the purchase has never been paid, the title to the 4‘llome Place” remains in the estate, and K. the purchaser, is insolvent: Held, That there was an ademption of the specific legacy to the extent of the $2,500 collected and used by the testator before his death, and as there is nothing for the codicil to act upon till the purchase money due at his death (which is the “certain fund” that was the object of it) is collected, the codicil, made under a mistake, did not revoke the will, as to the home place; and that the widow and two youngest sons take it under the third item of the will. But should the pur chaser at a future time pay the balance of the purchase money and interest, and compel a conveyance of the iand, the codicil will then attach to the fund, when so paid in, and it will be the duty of the executors to invest it in a plantation for the widow and children as directed in said codicil.

McCay, J.—Where a bank made an assignment of its assets for the benefit of its creditors, and a large portion of the assets was in money at a market value, and a creditor, nearly twelve months after the assignment, filed a creditor’s bill, charging that six months after the assignment, and again shortly bef6re the filing of the e bill, he had demanded his share of the cash assets from the assignees and they had re fused him unless he would re lease the bank from the whole of his claim, and the bill prayed an account: Held, that the bill was not demurra ble.

When A, a warehouseman, files a bill against B and C, partners, also warehousemen, alleging that they, as factors for D, had, in conjunction with I), illegally got possession of certain cotton which had been stored with Aby various parties, and had removed it out of the State, to be sold on D’s account, and prayed that B and C be enjoined from paying the proceeds to D, and that they be de creed to account to A for the value of the cotton. Held, that this is a bill for account and that the true owners of the cotton, A’s principals, ought to be made parties to the bill. 2. Equity requires all parties at interest, within the jurisdiction, to be parties to a bill. When a bill is filed against B and«C, partners, who arc both served and answer, the bill pay ing an account, and one qf the part ners dies: Held, That his personal representatives must be made parties to the bill, unless it affirmatively ap pears that he died non-resident, and that there are no effects in the State in which his estate has an interest. When a bill is filed against a pait nership, and after both have an swered, one of the firm dies, it is not error to permit, before parties are made, an amendment correcting ti misnomer as to the Christian name of the deceased partner.
