The offence or vagrancy -was added to their ch arg-, and after a trial, the boots matter was dropped, and the two were sent to jail for fifteen days each under the vrgrant law. A BOY-STIROUS PROCEEDING.-0I Sunday night, two roysteriug blades floated through a certain neighborhood and knocked at the door of a Mary Brown. Having company, she refu-ed to admit them, whereupon one of them, who seemed to have been made of wood, rushed against the door and broke it down. They then entered and raised a Jolly row on the premises. A poUceman, being called, arrested the party, and they were tried next morning. Tbeinost belligerent of the two was fined $5. A CASE OF GOUGING.-Joseph. Porter made his appearance yesterday morning in the office of Trial Justice Mackey," with hil face much bruised and his eye mangled in a horrible man? ner and almost excavated. He deposed that on Sttuday evening he was assaulted wbUe walking peaceably''on the street, by H. O'Brien, without any cause, and struck several times In the eye and face. A warrant was issued agalust thc of? fender, who, having been arrested, was bound over for trial to-day. lt is thought that the pros? ecutor will lose hts eye, as his antagonist's fin? gers pierced deep and almost completed their work. Ax APPEAL TO ARMS.-After nu me roes goes at a bar-room at the corner or East Bay an i El? liott street, on Saturday night, Jack Heins, who was taking his pleasure, became entangled in aa argument with the barkeeper. After some dis cusslon the latter became angry, and Jack got In? sulting, when the barkeeper whipped out from behind the counter a wicked locking pistol, about the size of a mountain howitzer, and made in 1773. Jack subsided as he gazed into-tho bottom? less muzzle and, going out, called the police. The two were arrested, aud the barkeeper having de? posited $10 for his appearance, was released. Jack remained, and. aftera trial before the Mayor, was discharged, while his. antagonist never came to u-mi hts deposit, which was declared forfeited. -TUE CATHOLIC ORPHAN ASYLUM.-lu the sketch of Charles) on contained in the premium hst of the South Carolina Institute, issued last fall, tt ls stated that the mansion formerly occu? pied by Governor Alston, in Meeting street, "is no*.? occupied as a Catholic colored orphan asy? lum." As every one knows, the excellent and well managed seminary so spoken of ls not a '.colored'' asylum at ali, and we regret to learn that What was an error, to be excused by the short? ness of thc time allowed for the preparation of | tljp sketch, has been regarded as an intentional slur upon the good sisters, and upon the institu? tion in their charge. We have knowledge of thc fact*, aud are certain that the misstatement was a pure oversight. We may add that the writer or the sketch ts wholly iucapabte or making any in? tentional misstatement; or of making any sug? gestion which would be painful to any class of our citizens. THE WORKING PEOPLE'S CHURCH.-We are informed that the religions exercises of the Rut? ledge Avenue Mission Chut ch, on last Sunday, were of tho most interesting character. Rev. Addison HaH, of Virginia, preached in the morn? ing a most Impressive sermon, from the text, "They were first called Christians at Antioch." The little flock, now uniting to form a church, were much encouraged by this able discourse. They had fitted up a small but commodious hired room, on the avenue, just above Spring street, and this sermon, from the venerable visitor, was exceedingly appropriate. In '.he afternoon the Sunday-school met in the same room for the first time, and in the evening the room was ailed to its utmost by an eager congregation, mostly of the laboring classes, to whom the pastor. Kev. Mr. Galues, preached on the subject of the final Judg? ment. We are requested to state that Christians and strangers, especially of the laboring classe?, temporarily residing lu the city, are Invited to attend this church on Sundays. Services are held at half-past io o'clock, A. M., and quarter-past 7 P. M., every Sabbath. Sundav-school at 3 P. M. KS- For lakr Locals, see First Pa je. ANNUAL MEETING OW CB ARLES TON GASLIGHT COMPANY. The annual Theeting^oT the;'atockholdere>bf | this company was held yesterday, at the hall of the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank. The follow? ing gentlemen were elected president and direct? ors for the ensuing year, viz: President-James BaveneL Directors-Heny Gourdin, V'. C. Bee, James S. Gibbes, B. D. Lazare-, C. G. Meinmlnger, Alonzo J. White, J. D. Aiken, A. ?. Johnston. The subjoined report of the president and directors of the company was submitted to the meeting, and ordered to be published in the dally papers of the city. PRESIDENTS REPORT, The president and directors of the Charleston Gaslight Company respectfully submit to the stockholders their twenty-third annual report. The manufacture of gas for the year ending Gist December, 1ST0, amounted to 50,834,756 cubic feet, and the distribution to-W,898,400 cubic feet, show? ing an in. rease over the previous year of about 17 per cent. The quantity er coal carbonized In the manufac? ture or the gas was 5084 toms, against 4261 tons the previous year. The average yield of gas per pound of coal for uro was 4 oa-ioo cable feet, and for 1889 4 53-100 cubte feet. The very full report of the- engineer, which ac? companies this, gives m detall a statement of the business In his department during the year. In the metre department therejhave been 650 metres recasetfahd repaired, and 193 new metres bought, in the service department 144 new services have been run, 39 .extended, and 739 examined-of | which 286 required to be renewed, and 453 re? paired. The st. eet mains have been examined In vari? ous localities, and the repairs necessary done to them. The treasurer's statement (Appendix A) shows the financial condition of the company to bc as follows on the 31 st December, 1870 : Liabilities. .$809,883 32 Assets.$787,337 33 Cash. 12,550 99- S09,S3S 32 His appendix B presents the profit and loss ac? count for the .s ear: By balance 3tst December. lgC9 l m. $3 922 21 Total receipts m" VwdL*.liie.497 ?2 Expenditures. 135,015 42- 61,432 20 $70,404 41 Deduct three dividends. 46.U9C oo Balance. $24,408 41 The bonds of the company, given lu settle? ment of the'Interest on the shtires held by North? ern stockholders, which had been confiscated by the Confederate Government, and after the war restored to those stockholder*, were payable in New York on the 1st of JannaL-y, 1871. and provis? ion, out ot the earnings of the company, ha; >"*en made to meet both the principal and luferest. amounting to $15,525. During the year three dividends have been de? clared. The om issi'm of a dividend in April arose from prudential considerations. The city lradre? c?ntly assessed a very large amount, In the form of a tax, upon the company, and the directors were not unmlndfal that the bonds referred above would have to bc provided ror bc-for? che close of the year. With these facta before them, and with a business, a large portion or wu tel for-, the year had yet to-ie developed, the directors were of opinion that no other course was open to-1 them. ' To meet the deroand caused by thc Increased consumption of gast?is winter up to Hie present tune, has taxed the capacity-of the works to their urmrst, and they wonidVlfe unequal, without en largement, to supply a sim&af increase next sea son. Such an Increase lt is not unreasonable to expect, and the contingency should bo provided for. Thc engineer, in his report, refers to th necessity or takiug down the old even and rc torts and replacing them by new ones; and he suggests thc equal necessity of enlarging the con nectlons throughout the works. These Improve ments should be accomplished during the ensuing j summer. j The Mayor's annual report to Council, present ! ed on the loth of January last, eontalus the fol lowing paragraph : # MOOTING TUE STREETS. The city is but Imperfectly Illuminated. There were, original! v. over :welve hundred lamps, ?bout halt of which are now in use. Tue number has been much Increased during the year past, as the necessity seemed to require, but with uo diminution IU the price, which is stl'l $4i> per year for each lamp. More light has been deemed ex? tremely desirable, lt would not only conduce-1 greatly to thc comfo-t and convenleuce of the in? habitants, but lt would alford additional safety to life aud property. To this end, a proposition waa made to the Ga's Company, at a conference hc:d by Its committee with the committee of Cuuncil on l?htlug thc streets, to light the eutne city, and at a rate which was deemed equitable, inas? much as it was quite equal to that paid by any other city, aud above that paid by some even of our neighboring citk-a. But their counter pru postilions were deemed so extravagantes to mala* lt evident that ihev considered themselves nionopol*. lt, therefore, became almost a qu-s Iiou oi morals, whether to regard the monopoly, and let thc people have light, or u> discard it, and keep the people in darkuess. At any rate, the conference ended without result, and no sub? sequent negotiations have been attempted. With a concurrence of opinion with the Mayor on the advantages of increased light, and with a knowledge ol the importance of economy in the financial arrangements of the city, the directors do not admit any responsibility on their part for the alleged failure of thc desired Increase of light. On the conirar?, Hw desire on the part of Council was promptly met, ind In a spirit which- thc di? rectors, after'full ou si deration, deemed liberal. The meeting ref* ired to by the Mayor was held on the 3d of September, 1869, upon lils own invita? tion, and thc Inquiry was made at what price thc Gas Company would light all the lamps In the city -1250 In number. The Gas Compaiy*e committee offered to light all at $33 per lamp for thc year. The Miyorsald that ir the offer were made $35, the price paid before the war, his committee would report the same and recommend to Council to light the entire number at that price. The reply made to this was that the Gas Company, in nam? ing $38, had made an offer as low as lt could afford, and that it was c jmparatively lower than tho price paid before the war, Inasmuch as the currency had depreciated upwards of 30 per ce at., and the cost of manufacture increased in the same ratio. The liberality of the offer will at oDce be understood, if the amount $JS be reduced to its gold value, (that in which the price was '.aid be? fore the war,) which would be abont twpnty-nlne)| dollars, ($29,) six dollars (JO) less per l imp than that paid before the war. The result of the conference was thu' the Coun? cil's committee would take the offer .nto consid? eration, aud when they had come tr a determina-. Hon upon lt, that they would rep jw the confer? ence. Since that time the Co '.uctl's committee have made no cummmiicatioa to the Gas Com-, pany's committee upou the subject. The Mayor's reference to the rate of lighting in other cities is not si rielly appropriate, as the cost of manufacture of tin gas, the ownership of posts, lanterns, service pipes, the expens; of re? pairs, and the respoustbtlity and expense of lighting and extinguishing, varies in dioerent elites, aud Hie rate of meeting these incidents de? pends upon the facts in each case. Da this city the Gas Company ls the owner, and bears all the expense aud the responsibility. The city is re? lieved of all trouble and responsibility in these matters, its ouly care is to meet the bills under its contract. The Mayor further-sutes ','that the number (of lamp-) has been much iucreased during the year past, as the necessity seemed to require, but with no diminution ia'the price," Ac On the 1st January,' 1870, the number lighted was.,..,,,... *...,.523 On the 1st January, 1871, the number lighted was. -.;...553 Increase in theyear...*. 30 In reply to the Mayor's allegation that the Gas Conn-any evidently considered itself a monopoly, the following facts are presented: At thecloscof ilia war. wueu the consumption was small, and the leakage, in consequence of the Impaired con? dition of lue m?l s. considerable, the charge ror gas was Sloper 1000 cubic feet. As this evil was partially remedien, tne price was reduced io $8. and us further Improvement was made to $7, then to $6, then to $5. and lastly to $4. This action was pore y voluntan-, and arose from adesire on the part of the directors to place the patrons of thecompany on ih.-most favorable footing prac? ticable. In conclusion, we beg to state, Hut now, as heretofore, the G is Company's committee is ready to meet tue OmraciPa committee whenever ic may sui< them to appmat a time. ? Alt of which la respectfully submitted.

A large diamond shaped black patch wa< plainly visible on the side of Die balloon where lt had beeu patched. The hurraing und excite? ment were tictneudous as the daring xronaut as? cended swiftly to a height of a mlle or more, and floated In a southerly direction over the city.
