STRUCK BT LIGHTNING.-The loud ?.'ap of j thunder which startled so many about 1 oVock yesterday, announced that one or the derricks at ?he New Customhouse had been struck by light? ning. The bois struck an upright post which was iron bound at the top and splintered it to atoms, several of the pieces entering windows in the building. The persons .'n the room near by expe? rienced the sensation or a galvanic shock, and were considerably alarmed. No one hurt-. . PORCINE NUISANCES.-The habit of keeping a pig in the famhy ls kept up on the sly by many persons In the upper part of the city, and in the coming warm weather will hardly be conducive to the health of the neighborhood. The officers, however, are on the lookout, with positive in? structions against theseoflenders. James Mazyck, a colored man, living in America street, was re? ported for this offence, a-.d fined $5 by the Mayor yesterday morning, with orders to remove the nuisance. Pack off the porcine pets. FREE TRANSPORTATION.-Susan Robinson, a white woman, was arrested, by the police, last Saturday night, in Mazyck street, for raising a j disturbance wh?ie In a state of beastly intoxica? tion.

She was brought scber before the Mayor, yesterday morning, and sentenced to twenty days in the House or Correc? tion.- _ _ OFFERING TO THE POPE.-By direction of Right Reverend Bishop Lynch, in a pastoral let? ter, recently isi.ned, collections will be taken up lu all the Catholic churches In this diocese on Sunday next, May th to present a testimonial to his Holiness Pope Plus IX, on the 25th anniver? sary of his Pontificate, June 16, 1871.

VALUABLE RECOVERY.-A valuable double case gold watch aud Derringer pistol have been recovered by Officers Lovett and Marlochettl, and are at the Detective office, where they will be de? livered to the owner on proor or property.

THE AIKEN PREMIUM LAND SALE.- We un? derstand that Mr. Perry, the popular bookseller, opposite the Charleston Hotel, bas had so many apparitions for shares in the "Aiken Land Sale" that he has opeued an agency for the same, and shares will be sold by Jilm to all who apply in time. Very few or our people seem to unoer? stand that they receive a $5 picture, worth the money, andan equal chance In 616 prizes. One In every thirty-one will draw a prize, and the reader may draw a $25,000 prize in addition to the work or art which they receive when they Invest $5.

HOWE. -In yes? terday's NEWU thc election of Oils gentleman was mentioned io the high and responsible office of assistant blsliip of (he Protestant Episcopal Dio? cese or soutu carolina-a choice approved by all; for it has been the good fortune of Mr. Howe to make a Ir.rge number of Mends outside as weil as within the pale of his church, hence the great Interest tu.tt lias been manifsted In the commu? nity upon his elevation to tate honorable olllce. Mr. Howe ls a native of New Hampshire, and re? ceived his col eglate education in the University or Vermont. Immediately after graduating, about twenty tlv.t years ago, he came in search of health to our genial climate, fixing his abode in St. John's Be keley. Here lie studied theology, and prepared for holy orders, and in due time was o.daluet? by the late Bishop Gadsden. 1: ls afuctworttvy of nore that St. John's Berkeley, where he had been living while pieparlrrg ror the ministry, as ve have just stated, was lils first parish and Add of labor. There he remained amil i860, whiju he was elected assistant lector or St. Philip's, In Charleston, and upon the reata of Rev. Wm Dehon, became the rector of thut large parish. This position Mr. Howe has retained to the present time. During the eleven years ol his mini dry in St. Philip's, he gave eutire and uninterrupted satisfaction to ves? try and mem-iership. For rot only was he thc kind and attentive pastor, ready at all times to aid aud to counsel; not only was he forgetful of self, and unwearied in his labors, but lie ls, lu ad? dition, a very tine preacher. Endowed with a a roug mind, carefully trained, and richly furnish? ed both with patristic lore and the literature, sacred and secular, of later days, he preached to large aud attentive congregations, who were never weary to sit under Ins ministry. Simple and affable lt< manner, dignified in bearing, be? loved and esteemed or all who knew him, Mr. Howe ls a nue type or a Chiistian minister, who, we feel assured, win provr himself worthy of the higher statloi. to which he has been elevated, aa he has hitherto adorned that lu which be bad found Umseht placed. DESERTERS ARRESTED.-Officers Davis and Burke, of the detective force, arrested two sailors yesterday morning, who are charged with de? serting and stealing a boat rrom the British bark Alma.ln Bull's River.
