A Ctuiet Day-Service at the Churches The General Merry-Making' The noise anti confusion characteristic of the season seemed :o have expanded their powers on Saturday night, and Christmas passed on" in tue most gratifying manner. The day Itsell was much warmer than the tradi? tional Christmas we read of, anti the blazing yule log would have been much more appro? priate than pleasant. A discharge of fire? works was kept up all day, which sounded like aa incessant skirmish along the lin*5. Crackers were abundant 0: every size, shape and quality, with reports to correspond, from the popping ol a cap to the discharge of a small four-pounder. These, with sr>me ex ceptlon?, were confined to the private yards and the points indicated in the Mayer's pro? clamai ion, and no accidents of a serious na? ture occurred. Boys are boys still, and tue nervous old ladies who started from ;he side? walk as the nc suspected cracker exploded near them, repeated th's saying when they talked over the incident at homeland forgave the offenders At night tl:e usual amount Of Roman candles were to be heard, an 1 in i'very direction hissing rackets could be seen astkej rushed up into the dark heavens. The bio we: s cf tin horns had blown away ail 'heir superflu ous breath, and bot lew of these discordant Serenader* appeared upon the scene TUE CHURCHES. The scrvic-s held in the valions churches on Christmas day were weil attended, and ser? mons appropriate to the anniversary of the birth of the Saviour were delivered. St. Michael's Churdy was decked In the usual simi le and tasteful style, with large festoons cf evergreens along the galleries, and a spiral wreath of the same around the pillar The mosey chandelier and the evergreen star fitted in the chancel window finished the quiet dressing, well ia keeping with the massive and heavy style ot the oil church. The serv ces were cen iucted bj the Rev. Mr. Trapier, the pastor. St. Philip's was decorate! with evergreen wreaths and garlands well made and beauti? fully arranged. Great care was evidently taken ia the dressing, and the chancel bore off the honors in this labor ol love. The congre gation were out in large numbers, and heard au excellent discourse from their late pastor, the Right Rev. Bishop Howe. St. Pau.'s Cnurcr. as at Easter, was very handsomely decorated. Aa eighth of a mlle of garlands of cedar and aroorvitre adorned the galleries, but the most striking feature of the decorations was a huge silvered star, with a gold facing. This wa< p'aced near the roof of the chane??!, at such a neight that it could be seen from the west dcor. A large cross of white rose?, set in evergreens, filled the east window, and in the centre of the ou'er chancel was a t able covered with the choicest came? lias and white rose?. Baskets of flowers, drape 1 with moss, were suspended Ir^m each chandelier, and stretching across the arch of the chancel were these inscriptions in golden letters: '-Jesus oar Immanuel,'' and "Hail the Heaven-born Prince cf Peace." The Christmas Anthem was charmingly snag by the singing class, wno. under the instruction of Professor Eckel, are making good progress, The services of the morning were conductei by the R->v. Mr. Drayton Grace Church hid receive 1 due attention and was arrayed in a most becoming g\rb for the occasion. The festoons of gray moss ma le a neat appearance over the emblems of mourn iag. and in every part white stars set off the rest of the decoration*. O vingto an unex pected indisposition on the par; ol the Rev. C C. Hockney, pastor, there was no sermon; but tue prayers were rea l oy his as Utan', the I ' Rev. Mr. Green. I ' The Lutheran Churches were ali open, au 1 d;viue service was hel 1 la each, but, in ac? cordance with an ol least om. they do not deco rate their churches at Ctiri-tmas. As a matter Of course, therefore, those in the ci:y were not decked. S Trices were held in the St. Johu's Lutheran by the assistant minister, the Rev. J. H. H jaour; the German Lutheran by the reverend paster. L. Muller, and in the Wentworth street Lutheran by the Rev. W. S Bowman. > Services were also held at the Huguenot Church, where the Rev. C. S. Ve lder, pastor, officiated. Tne body o? the church was not adorned, but the chancel was neatly decked wah evergreens The holies of the Catholic Charche3 were not decorated, but the aliars were adorned with floweis asd a myriad glancing lights. At the Cathedral Chapel the sermon was preach? ed by the Rt. Rev. B shop Lynch, and lc a',1 the churches cf the denomina-i on the morn? ing services were as on Sunday. At Sr. Mary's Church, Hasel street, the regu lar choir, assisted by sever?! prominent ama? teurs, sang Haydn's First Mass. Tuis was well deliverel throughout, but the difficult ngures in the Gloria and Credo were s in with surprising fire and precision. Haydn's First is one of the most imposing ana beaut! tu] masses ever written, and it :s due to Mrs. P. J. Burbot, the accomplished organ stat S' Man's, to say that class'cat music of the first order can be heard nowhere else in Charles ton. Indeed her musical skill is only equalled by her zealous industry ia the preparation ol works o: the Lithest merit and attractive? ness. .V HarPY CHRISTMAS. Thus the day pissed with no excitement, but with a quiet thanksgiving, which bespoke ? much real enjoyment. The rejoicing was 1 none the leis deep because it was net superii- i Clal. The troubles anil trials through which 1 the city has passed have taught our people llie true value ol a day ol'rejoicing and pros? perity. May Christmas ever be s ich a day In Charleston.

NAC KOR 1672.-This lime-honored annual again claims the public patronage, and under the auspices of the new proprietors and pub? lishers, Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, appears in a much enlarged aud improved form. Tnere are in it about eighty pages in all, ol' which about thirty are advertisements, and the remainder valuable astronomical and statistical information. The directory o? the present government of Charleston, and of the State Government ol" Noah Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, is more complete and reliable than can be lound elsewhere, while the lists of officers of the various railroads, banks and other public institutions of those States, are most valuable for reference. We undersland that ten thous? and copies of the Almanac have been printed, and that even this number is not likely io sup? ply the greatly increased demand caused by the improvement in the publication. The price is only ten cenis, *n I Miller in its fifty tifiii year is as much the rage as when first published. TBE CITY COrSCIL.

The AV.itkinni at the Academy. Tne audience at tlie Academy last evening was not as large as the performance deserved Mr. and Mrs. Watkins are artists of unusual merit in their line cf busiaess. and whh one or two exceptions, their support is very good Mr. Hastings and Miss Clifton deserve special praise for their carert.l and spirited acting last night. Tne play of Molly Dawn M not suited for a mixed audience; and ita improprieties are hardly counterbalanced by the bils of cheap morality at walch the virtuous galleries so invaiiably ap. laud. In the matter oj acting, howeviT, it was unexceptionably given hst evening, and Mrs. Watkins has never played belter here than in one or two of Its striking scenes. Space filia us to tell of the melodies of the Tumbleronicon under the saltatory vag.iri-s of Mr. Ike Lewis, and of ihe very amusing force of "Who Won 1: ?*' which closed the entertainment. The place of the orchestra was occupied (lt is Impossible to say filled) by a solitary piano indifferently pla;e I. This point m:g!it be greatly improved upon. To-ulgbt Mrs. Watkins takes a benefit In "Kathleen Mavourneen.*' The .Honiton Concerti. The Academy box.office is now open for ihe sale of reseiveil seats for the Moulton Con? certs. A great number of seals have already been taken, and those wishing to secure good places had better not delay doing so. Dan Rice's Circus. Tne famous Paris Pavilion Circus, led by the celebrated Dan. made its appearance as ex pec eJ on Monday morning, and its perform? ances cn that day and yesterday (olly realized the most sanguine expectations ot ihe ad" mirers of ihe horse opera. Tne extensive pavilion ls well furnished with carpeted seats, whence the audience may listen with some degree of comfort to the strains of Professor Menter's Band. The latter ls far superior lo most bands to be met with at a circus, and really forms a most atjreeable adjunct to the entertainment. Tne acrobatic and equestrian feats were fud of daring and dlfflcully, but were performed with ease and grace. The veteran Joker himself made his appearance in the ring, ani, while keeping his audi? ence In a continuous roar of laughter, it was worthy ol note that not a single word or hit was made weich the most scrupulous would object to have uttered before children. Dan is as full ol fun as ever, and his spirit?, like wine, seem to grow belter with age. His horse, Stepnen A. Douglas, and his educated mules are wonderlully taught, and when In company with their master seem endowed with human intellig- nee. The double somer tault by Mr. F. O'Brien, and the startling gymasii: feats of the two Nelson children are also well wo lh seeing. Professor Davis, with l.is perlorming Jog?, is another feature of the show, auJ ihe wonderful intelligence of the canine actors seems to give 6trong counte? nance to D.irwin. The fea's ol the man-fish must oe seen to be believed. The circus re? mains during the week, and our people will seldom have an opportunity of seeing a better on-?. SCHOOL FESTIV?L -The Christmas festiva for the children of Mr. C. H. Bergnann's E i-' glish and German school, took place list evening at the Hibernian Hal!, and pro red a most gratifjing and pleasant success. The vast bali was splendidly illuminated, and was fil.ed throughout with tne happy, smiling faces of the pupils, their friends and relations. In ihe centre stood a large rine, from the branches ol which, resplendent with innumer? able tapers, hung countless bright gilts for the delect uion of the assembled youth. Muller's band was in attendance, and during the in? tervals between the addresses made the light hearts present beat in happy response to Its stliring strains. Tne young speakers betrayed no more embarrassment than a becomin?. modesty dictated, and delivered their brief | addresses with an ease and grace which Indi? cate! a thorough preparation and careful training. At the conclus'on, the gifts d-pend ing from the Christmas tree were distributed, and the company disperse! in lam! les to their homes. The occasion was one ol which the teacher might well be proud.
