VuLAINY.-The front of the new church now
building in Broadway for the Rev. Mr.. Bellows, has
twice been most seriously and wantony defaced
Those who have seen the building probably recol-
lect the elaboraey carved heads at each side of the
main entrance. When they were placed in their
position, some rascs. painted them black. After
much labor this paint was removed by the aid Ct
chises, and the heads restored to their former beau
ty But they did not long remain so, for on Thurs
day or Friday night the noses of the heads were
knocked of, and the ornaments irreparably injured
They will have to be removed, and others inserted
in their place. An outrage Of this kind cannot be
too severely punished. Imprisonment is certainly
too mild, and some other mode of settling the affair
should be adopted some mode that will prevent a
like occurrence to this or any other building We
hope the perpetrator will be discovered, and the
Mayor owes it to the public to offer as large a re-
ward as the laws permit for his detection. The
church has already offered 800, and let the Mayor
add $500 to that Six hundred dollars may probably
bring forth the man.
