MASONIC ELECTION AT FLORENCE.- At the annual communication of Amity Lodge, No. 121, A.-. F. M.*., held at Masonic Hall. Florence, S. C., on the night of December ll, 1867, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing Masonic year: Bro. JOHN N. MoCALL. W. M. Bro. J. PRESTON GAYLE 8. W. Bro. EDWABD W. LLOYD, J. W. Bro. GEORGE McD. STOLL, Ssoretary. Bro. T. W. JONES. Treasurer. Bro. B. G. MAZTCK, S. D. Bro. H. WITHINGTON, J. D. teitsel . Bro. W. H. SHEPHERD, Ty ler. PETIT LARCENY.-Morris Brown, an enterprising freedman, wishing to improve bis standing in so? ciety, stole a pair of shoes, but was discovered and sent to 'hs Guardhouse. Allen Jackson and William Wilson, both highly colored, were charged with adorning themselves with stolen raiment, some of the missing propertjr being found upon them. The charge was made, by Darnel Alston and Thomas Riggs, both colored, they stating that the theft had been committed on B. Rodding' boat, at Southern wharf, while the owners of the clothing were absent. They had a hearing before the Mayor this morning. A NABBOW ESCAPH.-In passing the curves of the road the speed of the street cars is always in? creased, as it is extremely difficult to stop the horse at that time. This fact is generally known, and all persons avoid the track when the car is heard; but yesterday a school boy endeavored to run across the street, at the corner of King and Calhoun, while Conductor Reib's car was passing, but tripped and fell on tho track in front of tho horse. Tho exertions of the driver, Hogan, were barely sufficient to stop the horse, and the wheels were in a few inches of tho boy's hoad before this was effected. If the driver had been lesa prompt in his movements the car would have pased over r the boy, and, in all probability, caused his death. KLEPTOMANIA-The propensity of the freedman to appropriate tbs property of others seems un? controllable. The jail has r.o terrors, for he is no sooner released than he resumes his habit of pilfering, and in many cases becomes an expert in his calling. Nothing comes amiss to these pro? fessional thieves, but we were surprised yesterdav to hear a complaint made by a citizen that the h'ght-fingcred gentry had been removing tho brick from his sidewalk. What can be the object of this raid it is difficult to say, as burnt bricks aro plentiful, and the salo extremely limited, but it would be useless to endeavor to find a cause for the theft. It is a morbid disease that appears un? controllable, and can only be prevented by the vigilance of the police. THE CHRISTMAS TREE certainly is the greenest tree flourishing in field or forest at any time du? ring the twelve months. It is reflected on the in? fant imagination, hence those memories remain ever green. Last night again we treated ourselves to a peep of the gay scene, presented at Commins' Hall where a rich aud rare combination of attrac? tive objects tempt poor mortals of the masculine gender into unbounded liberality. Poor fellows ! they cannot help themselves. They are beset by the sweetest and prettiest of pretty girls, and asked in most bewitching smiles, "to take a grab," or a "chance," etc. Who would not liko to take a chance under such auspices? Everything passed off pleasantly again last night, and the crowd in attendance was larger than ever-a per? fect jam-notwithstanding the Japanese attrac? tion at Hibernian Hall. The beautifully illumina? ted arch over the doorway looked cheerfully; so did the large and splendid iced fruit cake, won at Mrs. Col. Ringgold's table "for the NEWS Office," which, a j a sweet messenger from the Christmas Tree, spread joy and gladness In the dark regions ol' type and printer's ink. The United States Band discoursed sweet music, greatly enlivening the 02 ? casion. WIDOWS' HOME BAZAAR.- A number of ladies of this city, whose hearts continually prompt them to do good and generous deeds, seeing much misery and suffering around them, cast about to devise a plan by which they could relieve somo of these unfortunates. They resolved to establish a home for the wives, mothers and daughters of Confederate soldi ars who have fallen in tho war. Many of these ladies, onco living in affluence, are now redaced to straitened circumstances, and one of the chief wanta of their present condition is a suitable home. This hun been established, and al? ready a limited number of ladies bless the liberal hands that have furnished thia boon. The Bazaar has been organized to further this charitable pur? pose. The ladies who have it in charge have been unwearied in their exertions for weeks and months preparing for this exhibition, and wo doubt not, when it is thrown open to tho public this evening, the visitors will be delighted with the brilliancy of the display, the variety of tho wares exposed for sale, the taste '.hat conceived the arrangement, and the delicate hands that executed it all. Charleston contributed literally to the Hollywood Association Bazaar last Spring, and, if we mistake not, through the energetic efforts of some of the same ladies who preside over tne present enter? prise. The Richmond Bazaar waa a brilliant suc? cess, and we fee! confident the Charleston Bazaar will be no less. We commend this noble chanty to ail our friereis and fellow-citizens, and hope that the good ladies who are so zealously engaged in this good work may be made glad in the rich harvest they miy reap of their labora. THE JAPANESE JCOGLEBS last night attracted a ? k'ood audience, considering tho tightness of the tunes. At the appointed hour the curtain rose and disclosed the Japs in their national costume. The boys All Right and Dan VYebster indulged in ground and lofty tumbling that would have made the most experienced circus actor blush. This troupe is the only one in America that has Japan? ese women, who in their strange and picturesque garb, with the si s jlar looking instruments from which they extract what, to Japanese ears, is most delightful music The suspension act, by the celebrated Kee Chee brothers, in which ono sus? pends himself by the feet from a small trapeze near the ceiling, and holds in his hands a long bamboo polo, upon which his two brothers per? form all sorts of marvellous feats, is well worth seeing. Thc top spinning was one of the most at f-active and marvellous features of the exhibition. Aside from the wonders of the performance, the peculiar native music, and the intelligible remarks volunteered by the master of ceremonies, were listened to with great pleasure. It is an enter? tainment in which interest is kept up from begin? ning to end. The strange dress and stranger ap? pearance of the performers, their wonderful feats, tricks, startling deeds and amusing motions, their music-all combine to kcop the mind attracted, to cause laughter or astonishment, ant1 bring fcrth most unbounded applause. Every man, woman and child should pay them * visit, if for nothing more than the knowledge of the marvellous things (he Japanese can do. THE BALL FEVER-This disease, which first at? tacked tho American public iu tho shape of ba?e ball ou the brain, hus gradually changed some of ita symptoms, though tho ball is still kept moving. The bat hes been exchanged for the shinnio sticK, and iustead of hurling tho ball through tho an\ it is now skimmed along tho ground, propelled by the above mentioned shinnio sticks. These sticks ari' Dot unlike a wee bit of shiUelah, with a crook at the end, which is used to catch the ball and sot it in motion, and they are tho favorite weapon of a host of mixed juveniles, who indulge in the fascina? ting shinnie game. Tho burnt district is tho play? ground for the youthful ballists, and from carly morn to deny eve tho voices of tho contending factions may be heard sounding far above i he clack o:" shinnio sticks. The fashion of this world passeth UT %J, and though tho noble game of J blinnie is new t) 3 rage, and Vouug America scorns determined to f o on with the ball, it may soon be brought to a clo?e, and the shinnie sticks laid on tho sholf fora season.

THE STBEET RAILROAD.-Tho 17th of December, 1867, is the first anniversary of tho opening of the street railroad in Charleston, au enterprise thai achieved success in tho first year of its existence. For years the subject of street railways had been mooted in Charleston, but it was always consider? ed a dangerous innovation on old customs, and it was only since the war that the present company 1 succeeded in obtaining a charter and permission to commence operations. Their exertions in be? half of the public are well known, and the success they have attained is the reward bestowed by their grateful constituents. Sinco tho road was first opened, the Rutledge-street line has been improv? ed, aDd the routo to the Battery completed. New cars havo been added, and every effort made by the ."President and managers to add to the comfort of the travelling public. Tho books of tho road show a steady increase of travel, and a correspond? ing increase in tho profits, especially during the past summer, wheu the visitors to the Battery took the cars fairly by storm. Without entering into particulars, we can truthfully assert that since Charleston was a city, there has been no enter? prise exhibited that has met with more favor than the street railroad, and tae first anniversary is but an index of those that will follow, each showing increased prosperity and popularity. .SLEETING CABS.-The Sunday train from Augus? ta brought to this city a fino sleeping car, which was on exhibition yesterday at thc South Carolina Railroad yard, between John and Ann streets. It was visited Juring the dav by a largo number of persons, including many ladies, who subjected it to a critical examination, and the opinion was gen? eral that it was perfect in every detail. These cars are mado ty Gilbert Bush & Co., Troy, N. Y., and belong to the firm of Pullman, Kembali & Ramsoy, of Atlanta, Ga., who have purchased the patents and have tho exclusive right to uso sleeping cars on the Southern Railroads. Thoy are furnished ?nth every convenience, and tho weary traveller is hailed to rest in a comfortable bed instead of dislo? cating his neck in a vain attempt to woo the drowsy god. Each car has accommodations for forty eight to fifty persons, the seats being divided into sections, each capable of holding four persons. At either end of the cars aro state? rooms whero a travelling party can bo entirely private. Tho furniture and trimmings of the cars are in perfect tasto, aud oxeced in sploudor of fin? ish any that Lave been econ in this city. At first it would appear difficult to transform a car seat into a comfortable bed, but the machinery is admirably arranged, and the bed-room provided is far supe? rior to the close berths often found on stcaraors, and the travellor who takes a ticket in these cars arises from his night's iest bright and refroshed. Each car is provided with a conductor and a por? ter, and the greatest care is taken to secure thc comfort of the passengers. Diagrams of tho car aro supplied, with each berth marked, and month? ly reports aro furnished of the wash list, &C, no sheets being allowed to remain on the bed after it has been used, but all are clean and fresh. By the payment of two dollars, the travollcr can secure u bed in either the first or second tier in the sec? tion; the 6tate-rooms being held at $5, and the bridal chamber or large apartment at $8. Tho far in question was named Florida, and was de? signed for thc Savannah aud Jacksonville Railroad. lt left for Augusta last night. BUSINESS NO!ICES. ii. n.

A NEW SCHOOL.-Attention is directed to the ad? vertisement of Mrs. Lewis R. Gibbes' School, in another column of to-day's paper. GREAT BAKGAIXS at Messrs. I. Hyman A Co.'a, No. 233 Ring-street, where the eheapest goods in the city aro offered. Seo their advertisement in to-day's NEWS. E CALL ATTENTION to the advertisement of Mr. John Commins, No. 131 Meeting-street, nearly op? posite Market, where he offers United States Gov? ernment McClellan saddles aud harness, little uset', at one-quarter their cost. It is certainly worth the consideration of all who are engaged in agricultural pursuits to call and examino them. GREU CEAXUE.-In passing up King-street yes? terday wc were surprised to find that our old friend, Mr. M. Klein, has left his small fruit stand, and removed to the opposite side, where he has enlarged his borders, and opened a large and handsome store at No. 339 King-street. Mr. K. is an honest, hard working man, deserving success, and wo Bincorely hope he may attain it. Ho under? stands hisbusiuoss, is polite and accommodating. He has a good stock, and invites the most critical examination of customers, * AUCTIONED AND INSURANCE AGENT.-We ask tho attention of our citizens to the card of Mr. Honour, which will be seen in our columna thi8 morning. At this moment, iu eouscquoneu of tho disasters brought uu most Southern Companiee by the war, nearly all tho risks iu tho South are taken by Northern institutions; but though this may bo to a dogrco unavoidable at present, it should be re? stricted as much as possible. Our citizens would therefore do well to patronize John L. Honour, Esq., whoso integrity is well known to our whole com? munity. HOLIDAY Gins.-Von Sau ten's Bazaar well de? serves its name, for it contains every article that is i are and curious. A glance at his stock assured US that he would have no difficulty in pleasing nil of his customers, for his stock is large, and com? prises every variety of fancy .roods, toys, gifts, Ac. Among the curious games which Mr. von Santen has introduced from Germany is the hiero? glyphs, which has been pronounced the most wonderful, beautiful, anti instructive home game and puzzle ever invented. Wo have seen the key, and can assuro our readers i hat this is even so. By correctly grouping together tho prominent objects in each picture, a given word is invariably | pronounced without the employment of a single, letter. A key, and all necessary instructions accompany each box. Wc shall not explain tho hieroglyphs, but leave it to those who think that they can obtain fifty cents' worth of enjoyment by investing in a box. Mr. von Santen has every variety of toys, fancy goods, Ac., that aro suited for Christmas gifts, and the friends of Santa Claus should not forget j to visit his headquarters. For restoriug strength and appetite, use tho great Southern Tonic, PANKXIN'S HEPATIC BITTERS and you will not be disappointed. For sale by all druggists. tu Suggestion? " thc Season. KUig Winter hos waved his eroptre over the land, whitening thc earth, bridging thc streams, and turning the water-falls to pendant crystal. Upon animated as well as inanimate nature, the frigid atmosphere produces a marked effect. The Mood is driven from the surface of tho body back upon its inner fountains, and Chills and Fever, Rheumatism, Pulmonary Diseases. Bilious? ness, and unpleasant disorders of the stomach and bowels are apt to be the results. Now, what is require! to fortify the system against the attacks of disease thus engendered ? Clearly a TONIC, which, acting through the stomach upon the circulation and tho nervous system, shall redetermine the vital fluid to tho aurfaco, and brace the nerves of motion and sensation. But this is not all that is required. With tho TOXIC must bo combined such ALTERATIVE and REGULATING agencies as will tend to keep tho whole ani? mal machinery "in good working order." These three grand requisites of a Winter restorative exist, in their fullest perfection, in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which are compounded of the purest vegetable stimulants and extracts, ol the most genial and healthful roots, barks and plants that the herbalists and botanists of the world have yet discov? ered.
