''No Thoroughfare" is a story of thrilling inter? est. Charles Dickens retains the humor and pathos of old; Wilkie Collins is vivid, mysterious, and full ol' power; the story is fascinating and ab? sorbing from the first word to the last.

MOZART'S GRAND MASS.- A rehearsal of this cele? brated mass took pla^o at St. Mary's Church yes? terday evening. The choir were assisted by a number of the professional and amatour musi? cians of the city, and the mass was rendered in an admirable manner. A number of persons attract? ed by the music clustered around tho portico, and anticipated the services of Christmas day. The choir wore in admirable train jig, and it was con? ceded that the performance of the mass could not fail to be perfect. BUSINESS ACTIVITY.-With the opening of this week thc business in the different branches of trade has been much brisker. Greenbacks havo been more plentiful and a liberal display of Spin? ner's colors soon drove away the blues. The King Btreet stores were crowded yesterday with buyers, preparing their Christmas gifts, and the Eroress Company's large office was crowded with goods to be sent to various parts of the country. Every clerk was kept busy and the whole prosented a scene of life, bustle and activity that was in pleas? ing contrast to tho dulncss of the past week. A BOLD OUTRAGE.-The Columbia Phoanix says that some eight freedmen, near Gadsden, on Fri? day last, boldly took possession of a wagon and four mules, ana two mules, with two bales of cot? ton, belonging to Mr. Mosely, and took the pro? perty forcibly away. Five of the freedmen were arrested by the police, and a warrant was issued on Saturday for the arrest of all the parties. Tho vigilance of Mr. Radcliffe, Chief of the Columbia Police, caused the arrest of two others of the gang of robbers, in that city, on Saturday, and the re? maining one of the party will probably be captured. This is one of the boldest and most flagrant out? rages yet perpetrated in Richland District. UNITED STATES COTTRT, HON. GEO. S. BRYAN PRE? SIDING.-This Court, which has just adjourned its session in Columbia, resumed its sittings io this city yesterday. Judge Bryan, the United States District Attorney, Major D. T. Corbin; United Marshall Epping, Daniel Horlbeck, Esq., the Clerk of the Court, and the other officers who were ab aent, have returned to the city after their arduous labors with renewed health and spirits, and the Winter term will be opened shortly after the holi? days. The only business transacted yesterday was the petition of tho creditors of Thomas Davies to have bim declared a bankrupt. Tho adjudication of I ankruptcy, with the consent of the bankrupt, was signed by the Judge, aud, on motion of G. W. Wil? liams, Esq., attorney for tho petitioner, tho case was referred to W. J. dawson, Esq., Register in Bankruptcy for tho Fourth Congressional District. FALR or THE MORRIS-STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, COLORED.-The congregation of this church have opened a Fair in tho second story of the building lately occupied by the National Express Company, and a glance at the intornsl decorations convinced us that they have not expended their energies uselessly. A Christmas tree towers in the centre, and from its branches are pendant sundry toys that arc exchanged for fractional currency. At ?"acb end of the hall arc tables where the good things of this lifo are dispensed, while at intervals are booths whero every variety of fancy, ornamen? tal and usefrd articles may be obtained. The post office, fortune-teller and grab-bags, are all in their appropriate places, and aro surrounded by custo? mers. Tho object of tho fair is to rniso funds for the benefit of the church, and tho committee of arrangements have exerted themselves to make the fair attractive. A band of music would, how? ever, be a great additiou, and would be appre? ciated by the visitors. IFiBE.-An alarm of tiro waa sounded last about half-past 10, and was lound to proceed the burning of a scroon in tho millinery eti Mrs. Knox, in King-street, opposite Ld barty, poa had been extinguished, and while tho in ef the store wero moving about with a eand screen, which formed a partition in t!io caught and tho uro was communicatod to paper boxes, but the damage wr.s Blight, an fore the arrival ol' the engines lt was extiugr. EVEBOBBEK8.-A brisk business was donc i line yesterday, and tho forests in the ueighbo of tho city were denuded of thoir fairest bo while saplings wero torn from tho groan used either for tho purpose of decorating building or for Christmas trees. Before the of tbe Catholic and Episcopal churches the i city of pine and holly bushes that were s over the pavement impeded travel, and coni| the passer-by to take a wide circuit. A nun.. Christmas trees have teen cut, and will bc er in ditlorent households, while tho Sunday sci and other pocietios that celebrate the occasi this same manner, will also make a heavy dr? tho woods for a supply of the natural beaut the season. PANORAMA OF COLUMBIA.--Tho Hibernian will be reopened to-night, and the P&norai the City of Columbia exhibited to tho public, painting has been exlalled asalife-likcrepres lion of thc capital of the State before tho fl had destroyed its beauty and left sightless I in the placo of noble mansions and blooming dens. During tho war Columbia was the rest many who had been driven from their home the coast, and these, and all who remei Columbia as it was and is, will gladly renew acquaintance with tho familiar scenes now de cd on the canvas. Tho tim" embraced in views extends from 1860 to 1865, and include ! of thc most noted features ol the city during period. The Panorama is undoubtedly a woi great merit, and as the price of admission is c low, it should bo seen by all who have ever vii the once beautiful capital of thc Palmetto ?Stat THE TURRET QUESTION. -One ol our frie mindful of the honors due to the day of mince and good living, in time procured a splendid i bier, ;:nd nurtured him with tender care. Engl ed though ho was with tho anxieties of business managed to steal a few minutes two or throe ti a day to sate his ?yes ou tho bird of Paradise, state dinner was arranged, to do honor to Chi mas and the turkey. The invatious were ?sst The chtj-de-cuisine with all his sooty adjut: were busy with tho great preparations of the hi AU went merry aa a dinner bell, till in an evil L ?Ethiopia stretched forth her hand, and-Tur was no more. Tho place that had known it k: it no more. Though not tho work ol' an hoi man. a non-esl turkey was the consequence. Tl was lamentation and wailing in the house of friend; but all in vain. The evil could not bo r edied. It was too late. Messengers wero patched to countermand tho invitations, and unfortunate victim of the impromptu confiscal has accepted an invitation to take his Christi dinner with ono of his friends. CHRISTMAS EVE.-With Christmas Evo r holidays may practically be said to commot though according to ecclesiastical computati the festival really begins on tho 16th of '. comber, and is continued to February or tho evening befoie Candlemas Day. common parlance Ibe Christmas holidayf oomf hend a period of nearly a fortnight, comuienc on Christmas Eve and ending on Twelfth D The whole of this season is one of joyful ont taiument and rnerry-makiptr. The origin of different Christmas customs date back to rem ages. After the conversion of Britain to Chrif anity, tho Christian teachers engrafted the ri of their religion on the old heathen ceremoni By this amalgamation tho festivities of tho Bom Saturnalia, the ceremonies observed by the Briti Druids at tho period of the Winter solstice and t grim mythology of the anciont Saxons, became i corporatod in tho Christian church and formed pi of tho Christmas observances. Among Bom Catholics a mass is colcbrated at midnight Christmas Evo, another at daybreak on Christin day, and a third at a subsequent hour in tho moi Lng. In both thc Catholic and Episcopal Churcb it is the practice to decorate tho interior of t buildings with overgiccns in commemoration tho Nativity. Christmas Eve obtains ita great? celobrity from tho Christmas Tree which is i ranged either for this night or for thc followii morning. Before retiring the children of tl household hang np thoir stockings at thu foot tho bod to bo filled by Kris Kringle. Ii any o has been naughty a rod is placed in tho stockii and the gifts are withheld. The Christmas Tree a common innovation on old English customs, b it has been generally adopted as ono of tl pageants of the fostival. The burning of tho Yu log, and the legends cbnnected with tho Mistleto are things whicn are fast fading into moro Chris maa memories. But wu still cling to thc glad fami gatherings and the social reunions which mark tl day as a time of peace and good wJl among men AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE-THE ECONOM? OF TE FREEDMEN. -The freedmen in this State have bec orderly and quiet beyond all expectation, am while many have not made themselves to unde stand the necessity cf hard and continuous worl there aro hundreds in this- city who aro giviu their less sensible brethren au excellent examp! of cconoL^y and thrift. Tables published by ti Freedman's Savings and Trust Company sho that, in the month of November, the total doposii in the Charleston office amounted to $47,911; thi being largely in excess of the amount deposited i thc offices ut Baltimore, Mobile, New York, Kiel mond and Augusta. At Beaufort, S. C., office, s the same time, tho deposits were no less tha $48,618, showing that tho freedmen in thia Stat have saved and laid up in bank more money tba has boen dono in any other State in thc Uniox The total deposits in the twenty offices of th Savings and Trust Company aro now more tba Laif a million of dollars; and in ono month $191,49 -.vero deposited. The National Savings Bankj, as the Freedman' Savinr i and Trust Company is called, are chai tered oy Congress, ?iud tho signing of thc bil creatijg them was one of tho last official acts c President Lincoln. All deposits aro perfectly sc cure and can be drawn without notice. Deposit of hard money aro repaid in hard money; interest i allowed on all deposits, and all the profits belouj to tho depositors. lu this city the office of tho Freedman's Saving: Bank and Trust Company is at No. 9 State-street and Mr. Nathan Bitter is the Cashier. This gentle man gives notice in tho '"NEWS" of thia morniii' that money deposited on or before Jauuaiy 20 1868, is entitled to interest as ii it were deposite; on January 1st, which gives 'he depositor an ad vantage to two or three weekf interest. Mr. Kit ter also publishes a card of tho bank which shouk be read and studied by ever freedman who know thc valuo of his dimes au J lollara, and who wishei to make a provision for h imsoif and family in th; times of sickness or want of employment. Mono' laid up at home will ass'.redly be spent; mono} deposited in bank can be Jrawn out when required but ia out of the way o' daily and hourly tempta tions. One dollar s" ced will soon grow into two our hundreds of li : gal freedmen can, if they will econ be numbered oy thousands. THE FREEUMF.N'S BUREAU AND THE INDIGENT POOR.- The in ormation received from Washing? ton that Gen :ral R. K. Scott, the present Assist? ant Corumiss'oner of the Bureau for this State, would he retained in his position until further or dera, has given general pleasure to those who, though not friends of the institution, desired to see it conducted with judgment and sound discre. tion. Since General Scott assumed charge of tho Bureau he has endeavored to control it for tho benefit of those for whom it was designed, and the destitute poot ol' the city, both white and black, have frequently had cause to appreciate it:, aid. Without entering upon a panygoric of the Bureau, it ia not, therefore, improper at this time to con? sider some of its workings, and award praise where it is due. In August last it was decided to discontinue the distribution of rations to the destitute, and num? bers who were dependent on tho Bureau for a sup? port were thrown upon their own resources. Tho comparative failure of the crops, which was fol? lowed by a scarcity of money, increased the desti? tution, especially among the laboring classes, many of whom were thrown out of employment. At his urgent solicitation, however, Genend Scott wus allowed to continue the bounty of the Bureau to a limited extent. The number of registered bfciietic-iariea in this city and the suburba was about livo hundred whites and eight hundred blacka, most of tho former being widows with large families. It would have been harsh, indeed, to have at once deprived this number ot destitute poor of their daily food, and General Scott applied to the Chief Commissioner, General Howard, for permission tu establish soup houses for the poor. Thia was granted, and as soon as the authority to purchase the necessary meat i- obtained, they Will bo opened and the bounty dispensed. The govern? ment ?it Washington has among its army stores a larg? quantity of desicated vegetables nut up in hermetically sealed cans. These aro now nearly useless for army purposes, ami if sold at auction would bring a mero song. Goneral 8cott baa applied for a portion of thcso alores, and will uso thom as enc of thc lii^rcdionla of tho soup. Tho houses for distribution will bo established at the Colored Orphan Asylum in Quoen-sfreet, and in King-Street, one door above Hudson, and it is ex? pected they will bo opened to the public on tho first of tho month. lu addition to tho rations furnished, tho Bureau has distributed a quantity of clothing, shoos, &c. During the past year over fifteen hundred over? coats were given to the poor, principally aged and infirm negro men. At preaent thcao supplies aro confined to Hie colored women, who aro constant applicants for thia bounty. Tho changes recently made by Gen. Scott in tho discharge of aoveral of his officials for meddling with politics, havo boen sustained by Gen. Howard Sumo of thc part ?c .-3 who were diachargod wont to Washington and endeavored to procure their ro instalmcnt, but faned to convince tho authorities of their innocence, and only enjoyed their trouble for their pains.
