EVENING STAR. ll LOCAL INTELLIGENEE. A Beavtirvt Store --Hilbus & Hits have opened their new and beautiful music store in the “ Star Buildings,” on the corner of Penn- sylvania avenue and Eleventh street. It is handsomely fitted up, having a front built by Baldwin & Brothers in imitation ef brown stone, with | French plate glass in the oo and Ts, eee — Lect! a fine appearance. e counters, shelves, and wood-work of the interior are of rose-wood color, highly polished and tastefully erna- mented by William B. Tode & Brother. The interior is beautifully adorned by handsomely frescoed paper,and buats and engravings of the most eminent musicians and com; . The back windows are beautifully curtained. and the whole of the large floor covered with Brus- sels carpst from the warehouse of Claggett & Dodson. The back part of the store is orna- mented by an immense mirror from the store- house of Francis Lamb, Esq. The gas fixtures have been neatly and substantially put up by . Workmen from the Eagle Works oF Captain Reese. Upon the whole, we do not remember baving seen a more handsome store than this. Messrs. Hilbus & Hitz keep the only exclu- sive music store in Washington. They keep on hand the best musical publications and musical instruments in the country. Their establishment is a credit to Washington. Benerir or THE FRANKLIN Fine Company. At the National Theatre, on Thursday evenin; last, through the courtesy Mr. George Kunkel, manager of Kunkel’s ‘ ightingale Opera Troupe, & complimentary benefit was tendered to the Franklin Company —one of the most efficient fire organizations in our midst—which came off in a manner high- 1 4 satisfactory to all concerned, and from which the company realized some thirty or forty dollars. Since that time. the President has received the following, which speaks for itself: Wasuineton, Dec. 8, 1854. Dear Sir: Mr. Winder, the proprietor of the National Theatre, being desirious of testifyin; his appreciation of the useful, arduous, and disinterested labors of the firemen, directed me, when he left the city, to hand you, in his behalf, twenty-five dollars towards the benefit of the Franklin Fire Company, which came off at the theatre last night. Enclosed please find a check for that amount. Very respectfully, yeur obedient servant, Caas. H. Winper. C. J. Caxrrexp, : President Franklin Fire Company. This is as it should be. We believe there is no class of our citizens who deserve better of the community than our firemen; and we rejoice whenever we see a spirit manifested on the part of the public to encourage them. The company have held a meeting and Cal ed a series of resolutions thanking Mr. Winder for his liberal donation. Mernopist Cacrcn Sovru.—The Confer- ence of this church, which held its annual session at Norfolk last week, made the fol lowing appointments for the Washington dis- trict : W. W. Bennett, Presiding Elder. ’ Washington City—J. A. Duncan. Alexandria—J D. Coulling. Rock Creek—A. G. Brown. Howard—Jos. Amiss Fairfax—W. E. Judkins. Fairfax Mission—To be supplied. Potomac—W. L.

Lee has been uppointed editer of the Richmond Christian Advocate, and Book Agent; and D.S Doggett, editor of the South- ern Methodist Quarterly Review Rev. Caries A. Davis.—We have been informed that Mr. Davis has resigned his ap- tment as a clerk in the General Land ice, and has been received into the Virginia Annual Conference of the Methodist Episco- pal Church South. Mr. D has been ap- pointed to the charge of Trinity Church in the city of Richmond, Va. Mr D. isa native of this city where he is well known and highly esteemed. He has been for many years the President of the Board of Commi:-sioners of the Washington Asylum and the Secretary of the Trustees of Public Schools. He is an elo- quent divine, and will, beyond doubt, prove a useful minister. As Mr. Davis is a member of our Board of Councilmen, he, of course, resigns his seat; whieh creates a vacancy in the Board. Waustzrn Witps.—The first exhibition of Stanley’s Western Wilds, since its return to this city, takes place to-night, at Odd Fellows’ Hall. Though its former exhibitions here were attended by crowds, yet cr mds are still desirous to see it, as well those who were be fore thus gratified as those who had not the opportunity, for, unlike most other panoramas, this will bear frequent looking at. The scenes were all carefully painted on the spot, by an artist eminent insuch represectations Mem- bers of Congress will beintereated, as the pan- crams shors the nature of the country through which the Northern Railroad route to the Pa- cific is destined to pass. Foor Race against Tiva.—On Saturday last a race was run, on Twelfth street, in the Seventh Ward, against time, by a person living in the vicinity, which brought together quite a company of young people to see the sport. We were informed by one of the judges that the race was for a bet of $30; the runner to win if he ran one hundred yards in ten sec- onds. The race was not accomplished in time —so the judges decided—but as there appears to be some difference of opinion about it, we shall leave the interested to settle the matter. There was a large amount in side bets. Corx Sones.—The Captain of the Guard in- forms us that several parties of young gentle- men, who bear respectable characters, were out late last night singing “corn songs,’ and making night hideous in the Seventh Ward. Anetber party murdered a fishing song in the First Ward, at a late hour, singing in thia wise: “i thought I beard John Hollis say— Wind away, boys, wind away You catch uo fish you get no pa: Wind away, boys, wind away.”” If they are caught at this jade again, they will certainly be “jugged.”’ Look out, boys! PoNISHED AT LAST —Last night the chief of the police with a number of officers and aux- iliary guards made a descent upon the gang that usually congregates in front of Asb Chapel, a church belonging to a aocciety of colored Methodists. These people have been told of the risk they were running by their bebavior, but they would neither take advice from the church nor the pee. The result is that their fun has cost them dearly. It’s an old saying that “they who dance must pay the iper.”” Travet over tee Lona Brifex.—An old friend of the Star having noticed the great number of vehicles ef various kinds that pass over the Long Bridge daily, touk upon himself to count the loads of wood that passed on Sat- urday last. The result of his count was one hundred and one loads. This was a smail day with our country friends, usually the num- ber is much larger. The provision earts and wagons that come to Washington by this route, we are told, would nearly double this count. A Naw Suction.—We learn that the Frank- papintae iay ml, ies Teceive from peimes morning, their new suction, recen built by Ives, of that place. At two crolock, p. m., the Franklin have resolved to give their new ‘‘ mersheen”’ a trial at the apace in front of the Bank of Washington. His Honor the Mayor, the Boards of Aldermen and Com- mon Councils, have been invited, and are ex- pected to be present on the occasion. Dring GLaprator.—This great work of art is drawing large numbers to seo it, at the ex. hibition room, 4+ street, who express them- selves highly delighted with their visits, Circuit Courr.—On Saturday, after exam- ination, Wm. J. Martin, Esq., was, on motion of E. C. Morgan, -» admitted as ap attor- pey and counsellor of this Court. that region a treat. To night, at the National, they present a tich bill, giving three fine pieces, viz: Mac beth, La Buy-it-Dear, and the Black Barber. A silver goblet will be given to the person who makes the best conundrum, andone to the person who hands in the worst. A fine house is anticipated. Deap axp Burigd.—We have been called upon by about twenty who were anx- ious to know what had bediane of Mr. Wm. Dowling, well known to most of the old cor- poration contractors. For the information of his friends we state that he died in the In- firmary, after a painful illness, and was buried on Saturday last. A Catt Acceprep.—The Rev. Mr. Cum- mings, of Richmond, Va., has resigned the rectorship of St. James’s church in that city, and aecepted a call in this city. Taz Ammrican Mocxina Brrp.—This pro- digy, Master J.

Ice breakers have been at work upon our Canal ever since Saturday morning, and hopes are entertained that the ice has been sufficient- ly broken to permit a large number of boats laden with coal, flour, &c., that were delained upon the eight mile level and at other points, to reach our market either Live or to-mor- row. The weather has moderated very much, and is this morning comparatively mild, and the ice thawing gute rapidly. Another one of those disgraceful exhibitions. a stone battle, between a party of youths of Georgetown and Washington, came off yester- day afternoon at the Rock Creek or Bridge street bridge. Isthere no means that can applied to break up these disgraceful scenes so annoying and dangerous to passers by. We learn also that a fight occurred near the same Plage, about 8 o'clock, yesterday evening, in which knives were used, and some of the par- ties were badly cut. Ho ror New York !—Ballard’s excursion starts (at Forrest Hall) this evening at 7} o’olock. Almost every one in our city intends visiting this wonderful work of art. We be- speak for him a crowded auditory. We saw this morning the model of an in- vention, by Mr. Henry Burrows, for cleansing wheat of garlic. If this invention answers the purpose for which it is intended, it cer- tainly will be of inestimable value to the manufacturers of flour. In the absence of a supply of fiour in our market, the last steamer’s news has had no effect upon the prices, which are steady at $8.50 for superfine and $8.75 for extra brands. Owing to the closing of navigation the supply of all kinds of grain is very limited. Wheat, $1.80a$1.85 for red, $1.85a$1.90 for white; a very fine article might command a few cents more. Corn, white and yellow, 80c. Oats, 480. Spgcrator. EF The following is the official vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York: GOVERNOR. Myron H. Clark..... Horatio Seymour.

Lynchburg Republican, in a notice of Barnum and his book, says in the midst of a column of similar reading : “The life of Phineas T. Barnum may be in- teresting, but can scarcely be valuable. Writ- ten by himself or any other person, it can only be the life of a humbug—a most outrageous, unparalleled, infernal humbug. What is a humbug? 4 deception—a deceiver. What isadeceiver? In in English, aliar The life of Phineas T. Barnum, therefore, is and can be, nothing more nor less than the his- tory of a liar—a successful liar, it is true; a millionaire of a liar; a monster; a behemoth; &@ megatherium of a liar; but as veritable and mean a liar as the dirty beggar who swears he has a wife and ten children dying of the fever and starvation, when he never was married in his life, and all for a penny.” The Portsmouth, N. H., Chronicle gays: “The strikers at the navy yard were set work again on Saturday, at the old rates, satis- factory evidence being presented to the Com- modore that their wages were no higher than was paid in private yards The pay roll of the yard contains about 750 names.” eeceemeespeeapraren cemmmnes aneemeane ott MARRIED.
