Service by the Pastor at night Tas MURDERER'S ORDEAL.-One of the old? est and most utiversal superstitions is the be r lief that the body of a murdered man will bleed, if touched by the murderer. It is rare, however, in these days of trial by jury, to meet with a case of a bona fide medias val or? deal. Such was testified to yesterday in the Court of Sessions, before Judge Moses, in the ease of Pres ton Johnston. Our readers will find the particulars in regard to it under the proper head in this morning's NEWS. The testimony about the ordeal was altogether from colored people, and when we consider their prejudices and their superstitions, and their proneness to b .'lieve the supernatural, we must confess to considerable doubt - in regard to the genuine? ness of the phenomenon; and the jury do not appear to have been influenced by this part of the testimony. COURT INCIDENTS.-Some difficulty in form? ing a jury waa' 'experienced yesterday by the counsel for Thomas Dolan. One of the jurors objected to serve, as ho did not think the pan? el drawn by the court was a legal jun-. The Judge had previously oxpli.inod.tho law to this juror, and shown that by the decision of the Court of Appeals the juries were legal bodies. As the juror, however, remained firm in his convictions, the Judge remarked he would waive the right of court, and discharged the juror for conscience sake. Another juror was objected to because he was not a registered voter, and on his corrobo? rating this assertion the objection was sus? tained. When the panel was exhausted only nine r jurors were drawn, and the Judge ordered the names o' thirty additional jurors to be drawn and summoned to attend the court to-day. MRS. YELVER TON'S READINGS last night more than justified all that has been said of that lady's elocutionary and dramatic powers. She hos the great advantage of a voice which is rare n.deed, in its strength, clearness, sweet? ness and flexibility. Excelsior was decidedly striking in dramatic effect, and beautiful and melodious sound; now with a cry like a trum? pet, now with an agonized wail, and now in a sad recitative, dying away by gradual descent into a sound so low that "nothing lived 'twixt it and silence." But perhaps her greatest triumph was in her rendering of the terse and pregnant and thought-compressing Unes of Locksley Hall, with its romantic picture of a youthful love, its bitter imprecations upon the doceitf al object of misplaced affection, its keen enjoyment of promised revenge in allowing the imagination to revel : ? the prospec- j rive miseries of an uncongenial wedlock, its turning for relief from the peace-con? suming phantom of despair to the ex? citements and turmoil of a life of intens sst action, its passionate longing for a retreat in tropic and barbarous lands, its gorgeous description of the scenery and pleasures of those "summer isles of Eden," its sudden re? jection of such a resource when the mind re? verts to the impossibility of giving up the great blessings of civilization, and its finding of a worthy and a sufficient solace in devotion to the glories of modern science. By the voice and action of the reader, we were made to feel all the power of the wayward and fran ti J pas? sion that fills its wierd stanzas, the vigor of its strange and nervous and startling meta? phors. The closely-packed significance of the telling lines was brougnt dearly to our appre? hension, and we were made to ??el the scope and spirit of the piece as no other presenta? tion cf it could have snabled us to do. The other selections were read in an excessively dra? matic style of elocution, revealing marked tal? ent for the boards. The interpretations were made upon quite original conceptions of the I author*?? meaning. The intention might some? times seen? exaggerated to those who but im? perfectly appreciated the genius of the poem, but the reader was on the whole watchful and studious not to 'Veretep the modesty of na? ture.*' She seemed thoroughly absorbed in and imbued with the spirit of what she was reading, and quite self-fdrgetful. The concep? tion of character was just and discriminating, and its deline? m exact and truthful. The articulation aaa distinct, the voice flexible, melodious, and seemingly capable of adapting iteelf to the expression of every varied phase in the whole range of human passions. Each word received that just intonation which re? vealed the sense, rom d and full and in a man? ner most satisfying to the ear and to the taste. The entertainment was ono of no ordinary suc oeas. The spacious and comfortable drawing room of the Mansion House, which hod been tastefully arranged for the occasion, was filled to its utmost capacity, and at the close of tho evening the expressions of delight and appre 1 dation among the audienoe were universal. We hope that Mrs. Yelverton will read again, daring her sojourn in Charleston. THE NORTHERN MAILS which hare been t hand (or several da j a past, came throi sohedole time last evening, bringing qi avalanche of delayed male matter. AT. ST.

MOSES PRESIDING. -The ca of the State vs. Preston Johnston (coloree for the murder of Peter Lockwood (coloree waa resumed. The Attorney-Genital inti doced John Rudolph (colored), who said that 1 knew Peter Lockwood from a boy, lind the a ousod lor about two years. He had seen the together occasionally, but not for eight or ni months previous to the morder; knew nothii of the quarrel reported; was present when tl body was brought into the house. 'Ibe ste' ard cf th? steamer St. Helena brought ti news of the murder, and he got a furnitu cart and brought the body to bis house, ax notified the coroner; while going for the cor ner, he met Preston Johnston coming up Kini street. The coroner h9ld the inquest the no: morning, at 9 o'clock. The witness asked il coroner if there was any truth m the belli that in touching a dead body by the murder? it would bleed. The witness asserted poeitivi ly that when Preston Johnston was brought 1 the house and toaohed the dead body, it ble from the mouth and nose profusely. Presto Johnston was not disposed to touch the bod; but was compelled to do so, and after the bleec mg was taken to the guardhouse. The crow were very much excited, there being over thu ty in the room. When Preston saw the bloo come from the month, he started to ron, bo was caught by the wife of witness and owen and handed bim over to the authorities. Fordham (colored), re-examined, said th a he was with the parties when thej quarrelled Atter the arrest of Preston, while cn their wa; to the house, Preston said he had killed n one; no allusion had been made to the m ur dei and they toM him no one said he had killed an. one, but to come on; witness was in the roorj at the time of the ordeal, and saw the blocx come from the deceased when touched b Preston. Coroner Whiting re-examined-Haid the cir cum stance of the prisoner touching the dca< body, and the blood issuing fr sm it at th? time, was mentioned to him by R-idol ph Bob ertson and others, who aaid thai it could bi attested by all in the room. He told them tba he did not believe in such matten and took nt note of it. He did not even mor tion the cir cumBlanoe to the jury while e:utmining th< witness. j Cross-examined-Tho verdict of the Coro lier's Jury was handed to the witless, and fat? was asked to read the same. This was objected to by the Attorney-Gene ral. Mr. Donkin insisted on his motion. The Judge sustained the objection and deci? ded that the inquisition of the Coroner was nol evidence for either the State or the defence, The prosecution having no ocher witness and the defence offering no counter testimony. William Whaley, Esq., opened (lie argnmenl for the prisoner. The Attorney-General foi we State and A. H. Dunkin, Esq., fer the de? fence closing in reply. Judge Moses charged the jury who after an absence of about tee minutes returned a verdiot of "Not Guilty." On motion of A. H. Dunkin, Jisq., tba pris? oner was discharged from custody. The case of the SfVe OJ. Thomas D?lau atiat Thomas Daly indicted for Arnon, was then taken up, Messrs. M. P. O'Connor, B. W. Sey? mour and W. J. Gayer appearing for the de? fence.

THE NEW HOSPITAL_The City Engineer has been engaged daring the pr?sent week in examining the interior of the workhouse, and will present his plans to Council, on Tuesday night, for remodelling the samo. The plan is considered to be quite feasible, and the city will soon have a fine hospital in the place of the present useless building. 6TSALES OF BEAL ESTATE.-Messrs.

Also the building lot on the west side of Middle-street, between Calhoun and Minority streets, measuring sixty by one hnndred and two feet deep, with a two-story dwelling and outbuildings, for $1600. Terms, half cash; balance in twelve months. A DELEGATE GOES ASTBAT.-One of the col? ored delegates from the rural parts, who was evidently unused to the wiles of the city, fell among thieves on Thursday night. He was encountered in the market by a white woman named Bose Yernar, better known as Railroad, who requested the loan of ten cents. The delegate, not having received his per diem, was unable to accede to this modest request, but Railroad was "on the make," and watching her opportunity she bagged his watch, and before he could comprehend his situation she was gone. Having heard of the detective office he hastened thither and narrated his loss. For? tunately for the moral delegate, Railroad was a public character, was soon discovered and the watch regained. It ia both impolitic and nowise for the members from the "Deestricls" to wander about unprotected; and the unfortu? nate sufferer should advise his brethren if they go astray from the fold to pocket their watches .ind watch their pockets at the same time, or they may come to grief. THE YOUNO MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION have fortunately secured the services of the Bev. J. A. Broadus, D.D., who will deliver a discourse before the association on Sunday and Tuesday nights, at the Citadel Square Baptist Church. Dr. Broadus is a native of Virginia, but for years a resident of this State, and latterly a professor in the Fuman Univer? sity at Greenville. As a pulpit orator he has few superiors, and the Citadel Square Church will scarcely be able to contain the crowds that i will attend. The association have been earn? est in their endeavors to promote the growth of Christianity, and have enlisted the sympa? thies of the clergy, who will resume their Sun? day evening lectures. Several distinguished divines from other actions of the country will visit the city daring tbe present season, and have been engaged to deliver public lectures I for the association. Dr. Broadna will remain in the city for sev? eral days, and will be a guest of Mr. T. A. Wilbur. KEBOSENE OIL AND LAMPS.-There is mncb inquiry on foot at present in regard to the danger or inoouousnesB of the several pro? ducta of the oil wells, manufactured for illu? minating purposes. . Kerosene, coal oil or pe trohum, as the product is indifferently called in different sections of the country, has come into almost universal usc. It is cheap, and furnishes an excellent light, and although there ie a vague impression that its use is not altogether safe, and although fata', accidents have occurred again and again, yet every one ' seems to think he or she is safe, because they behove that with proper care theaccidents will not occur. We have looked into the mat? ter somewhat, and gathered the following facts: Crude petroleum is composed of a variety of liquids-some are Liquids, some are volatile, at very low, others at higher temperatures. By distillation these substances are separated, and all of them brought into ase. Gasoline, the most volatile passes off first, and is the most inflammable and dangerous of these sub? stances. Naphtha, the next in volatility, pass? es off after the gasoline. It bas a strong, pe? culiar odor, is very inflammable, and the more of it that is allowed to remain, by unprincipled distillers, or afterwards mixed with good oil, by nefarious speculators, the more inferior and objectionable the article for ase in lamps, on account of its inflammability. Refined petroleum is that whioh next passes off, and is of such a nature that, when proper? ly prepared, will not ignite at a temperature less than 110 degrees Fahrenheit, whioh is, of course, much higher than is ever attained in ordinary lamps. This is tho illuminating oil so universally used and known as kerosene, and after proper treatment in the refining pro? cesses, is as safe for use as sperm or other oils. The remainder is a heavy oil with other substances, and usually oaiiod lubricating oiL The test which at present is almost univer? sal is an igniting point of 110 degrees Fahren? heit, obtained by oil being pat into a glass oap, about three inches wide and three inches deep, whioh is immersed in a tin vessel filled with water, ander which is applied an alcohol lamp, the oil heated at the rate of about 15 minutes from 90 degrees to ono hundred and ten degrees, or about one degree per minute, I and when heated faster than that, the lamp is temporarily withdrawn. Into tbiB oil the bulb of a thermometer is permanently suspended, so that the oil will just oover it. The oil is not stirred nor touched. When the oil has arrived within some five degrees or ton degrees of the point desired, the lamp is withdrawn, and the oil comes up to the desired temper? ature by the beat of the water of the bath in which it is immersed, care being taken to fit the cup containing tho oil tight at the top by means of a lip. Tf the igniting point obtained is one hundred ' 1 ten degrees, the flashing point will ge-Hu?} od found some C degress or 10 degrees less ; but by rapid heating of the water, or still more where the flame is applied direct, that portion of the oil in immediate contact gets warmer, and the flashing point can be obtained at almost any point, and even igniting al; some degrees less. We thus see that much depends upon the rehability of the manufacture. If we buy our kerosene from a regular dealer, of character and standing, who know3 his business, we may be reasonably sure that we obtain a good and safe article. There is a great difference also in lamps. As a general thing, those with glass chimneys are deemed least hable to accidents from explosion. Chimneys, however, have a great tendency to crack and break, and there is, in consequence, a great demand for kero? sene lamps, without these fragile appendages. In these the burner is usually mouuted by a brass cap, which soou becomes hot, and thus creates a current of air sufficient to assist in the combustion of the surplus oarbon, set free by the more ready union of the hydrogen of the oil with the atmospheric oxygon. No lamp ought ever to bo filled at night. This should be an absolute rule in all house? holds. Trim your lamps in the day time and every day; fill it every morning, keep your burner olean, and see to it that the wick ia long enough to communicate with the oil. Large lamps ought never to be carried about, or if it cannot be avoided, it would be much safer to blow out the light beforo moving it, and then re-light. Mauy fail to take the ne? cessary precautions from a belief that unless the light come in actual and visible contact (in tilling the lamp at night) with tho kerosene running from the oan, no accident can occur, But this is a mistake. The flame may be com? municated from the Light through the gasee that have evaporated and are in the vicinity of the can. In the oase of good oil, anoh aa is now sold by every reliable dealer, some of these precautions may be unnecessary; but "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Care and attention in this matter will be well bestowed. The following is the law passed by Congress, March 2,1867, in relation to the adulteration of kerosene oil. "SECTIOS 29. And be Hf wilier enacted, That no person shall mix for sale, naptha and illu? minating oils, or shall knowingly sell or kjep for Bale or offer for sale such mixture, or shall sell or offer for sale oil made from petroleum for illuminating purposes, inflammable at less temperature or fire test than HO degrees Fahrenheit, and any person so doing shall be held to be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, by indictment or pre? sentment in any court of the United States, hav ns- competent jurisdiction, shall be pun? ished by a fine of not less than $100, nor more than $500, and by imprisonment for a term of not less than six months, nor more than three years."
