Rev. Alexander sprunt. The pulpit x of ' the First' Presby tei iin Church was filed last Sunday evening by Rev. Alexander Sprunt who preached a very fine, interesting and! instructive ser- inoc.

The- result which was arrived at yesterday afternoon is that the company .will withdraw the additional charge male by them of 25 cents on each message for this city and substitute thereupon 10 cents as collec table on each message delivered ( here,4he special city tax being fixed at $50 per month. A tax of $25 a month and no additional charge on messages was sug gested but was not agreed to. - - OYerboardi . Oq Sunday night last Patrick Jordan, the insane Irishman who was sent here from Columbus county, and who has been allowed to go at largo for some time past. was discovered by the watohmah at the depot of the W C. & A. R. R. leaning against a warehouse. ' The watchman approached to warn him off when Jordan struck him a powerful blow. The watch man did not know the man, and looking ttpOH Chitras part; of a welMatd scheme of violence atid robbery, drew his1 pistol and leveled it at his assailant. To his surprise Jordan broke into a boisterous laugh, and told him to shoot, whereupon the watchman blew fer the city police to come up and take nini off ' to the" guard house.' Officer 'Wocbse appeared in an swer to the summons, and then Jordan ran off towards ' the dock and Jumping on a stick of timber, paddled out t into 4 the river with his hands for paddles. The officers got a boat and followed him, and finally managed to secure him but not until they had both taken an involuntary bath'in the river, tho results of their efforts to secure the madman without doing him bodily injuries. Jordan is now held to await some disposition' by the proper au- thorUies. ' ' " i ' - Bad!

All kinds of shrill whistles E were started from the benches immediately kin rear of the parquet! which were echoed in the gallery only to be re-echoed back again from the benches where these unearthly noises were , origi nally started from. In addition to this, each boy who Was provided with a great big elub called a stick, '. hammered Jaway on the seat in front until ladies who occu pied that row of seats in the parquette felt that they would almost be compelled to leave tbplsOT-thhrwbole-fime-wa jarred and made.ta ebjpthesede demonstrations rni5Catfer appTause; YYet not a Twliceman' moved to make an arrest or to cause quiei j to-be restored.

'"lie Beaatiral QoecB, Esther, j . The CantaU of Esther, the beautifu fun was' again repeated at; the Opera tfoujse last nignt--this tirne for the bene fit pt 1 Pifessor' Chase, and was greeted wiui a Moraine iair auaience as regard 3 numbers, surpassing fair as regards their appreciation of the excellent music uu uuo MiuuK vi iuose wno cook pari jn quartettes and duets were rn dered before tho play of Esther commenced The first of these, a quartette, Oh, how I Jove my Mountain Home", was sung in excellent atyte1 the Misses 'Hiompson ana zuessrs. u. u.-Robinoii and w. li. Northrop ,t Miss SallieM.Thbmpson, by special re quest sang ' the Scotch ballad MComin' thro the Rye" in such exquisite style and with so charming a 'manner that she was applauded again and again. Professor A. Paul! delighted the audi ence with a well performed piece on the violincello entitled "A Prayer from Stra della.: ; ;i The duet "Friendship" I by the Misses Thompson, soprano and ontraltd voices, was sweet enough to have been repeated and to have received the heart v encore that it did. The quartette of Messrs. Manning, Welsh, Mitchell and Chase, "What Beaas 8o Bright", was rendered with fine effect. The mingling of four such fine rich voices in such perfect harmony was delightful to listen to. : We have written j so frequently about tne uantata, tnat we deem it hardly ne cessary to make more than a rapid review of the performance last night. The duet between the King and Hainan wasOod and enjoyable. Esther's "I'll go unto the King' wa3 sweet and touch ing. Zeresh, Haman's wife, wasjust sim ply irresistible and charming, and her act ing was by no means inferior to her sing. ing. WhileHaman'8 singing was all that it should be, candor compels! us . to say that his acting in one scene was very poor; wo think 'could ha ve1 Made' ' a better Ha inan ourself right then, and wehave'nt any voice for singing either. The entire performance passed off with much eclat and reflects great credit upon Professor Chase and the talented ladies and gentlemen who assisted him. For. the Review.

Owen Fennell, a commission merchant on the wharf, has been missing cotton from his warehonse at the comer of Mulberry and North Water streets, and in one or two instan ces has been; very nearly upon the I thief being so close on one occasion as to make him drop his bag. But yester day afternoon about half past five o'clock he was a littlo nearer than that, and pounced right in upon the thief while hewa8 filling his bag, the rascal already having filled a cask .or barrel alter ripping open the ends of two bales to supply his cask and bag- from. Capt. Fennell im mediately seized'hold of the "gemmem'' and turned him over to a policeman who carried him to the! guard house and locked him up. This morning ;he case came up before the Mayor and he bound the defendant over to the next term of Criminaljj Court requiring a justified bond of $50 for his appearance at that term, in default of which the prisoner was delivered into the custody of the Sheriff. The defend ant is a colored man and gave his name as James Williamson. The only case for trial before the City Court this morning was that of the colored mam James Williamson charged with lar ceny, an account of which is elsewhere published in this issue. 1 ; Sampson and Samson.
