aL¥ © Local Intelligence. Tas Exutarrion of the Sunday School at tached to the Methodist Episcopal Church South, whieh took place last night, was highly interesting. The church was 'o its ut- most capacity, and the number of spectators was composed, for the greater part, of chil- dren, accompanied by their adult friends. We can conceive of no entertainment more inno- cent in its charaeter and more heart-improv- —— ite effects. exercises were opened with pra: the Rev. W. W. Bennett. —" Master John Clary delivered the address, and Miss Mary, his sister, pronou one to the girls, both rming their respec. tive parts creditably. Miss Virginia Edmon ston es ok and Plaintively “The Dyin; borhan an "s mest Julia Teal a ra Handy each recited beautifully. pane Zimmerman, four as old, was among the performers.

The mere announcement of thea by the various dealers causes many a one to ve a sigh and wear a lugubrious countenance. The present oppressive tax on gastronomic necessities might be borne with philosophy if there were even a prospect that the tariff will shortly be redued. But our citizens are not the only people who complain. The Baltimore American says that the cost of living in that city is fully one hundred per openin; cent. higher than it was ten years ago. All kinds of meat are held at prices far bi id the means of the poor, and fish, which hereto- fore has been the chief living of a large ciass of the community, are now put beyond their reach. Ordinary sized perch are sold at 6; — each, and proportionate rates for other kin E. in meats, our cotem: says. there is nothing which does not yon ah the possession of two, three, and sometimes four — before it reaches the consumer, who ‘as to pay two, three and four profits, so that the cost is enormous, besides the loss occasioned in many instances, through falso weight and measurement. The N. ¥. —— Post says that prices continue enormously high, and that some of the butchers sold porter house (tender loin) steaks at twenty-five cents & pound—though the average is abcut twenty-one. Butter ia held at twenty-nine to thirty-six ecn‘'s a pound, and cheese at fourteen. The cold weather has operated againe? the fish market, aud im consequence the etock of ali kinds of fish is very small. There is a liwited suprly of fresh shad from the south, for sale at fifty end sixty-two and a half cents each. Tus Poisonixa Case.—Tho trial of Delia Hasel and Pharnella Skinker, charged with poisoning Cassy Williams and her family, commenced yesterday, was concluded this morning. It was proved, vs hese testimony of Mre. Williams, that a week before the poison- ing Delis Hesel, during a difficulty between the parties, said she would have satisfaction, even if she went to the penitentiary for it, and by pther witnesses that on a Thursday night, two weeks ago, Pharnella Skinker was with the little boy, living in her family, who bought the poison. The fact that arsenic had been sprinkled on the meat, a part of which Mrs. Williams and her family partook. was proved by a chemist, who made an examination of i'. There Wag no direct evidence tending to impli- cate the accued parties. The jary though they had been absent two hess, & mot agreed upon a verdict at the time our paper went to press. Bracus Wantep.—Several of our cautious fellow citisens have requested us to call the attention of the corporation auhorities to the topriety of bracing the iron bridges over the Webhington canal. Ihe ideais a good one, and should be promptly attended to. The omaibuses which cross the Twelfth and Four- teenth street bridges, are often much heavier laden than the one under the weight of which the K street bridge gave way. The Tenth street bridge, too, though but a way for foot gers, at times has upon it a much | ar weight than the other bridges named above sustain. We refer to the time; when the crowd attending the lectures at the Smith- sovian Institution are returning into the heart of the city, when it is now and then covered with a dense mass of human beings—the heaviest load that can be put on it. Prorte’s Tuzatre —Miss Fanny Morant will, this evening, appear in the celebrated drama of “Guy Mannering,’’ and personate the character of Meg Merriles; Mr. J. H. Allen ery) apap the part of Dardie Din- | sh W. H. Norton that of Dominie Sam . The laughable farce of the “Spec tre Bridegroom”’ will conclude the evening’s eotertainment Meg Merriles is understood to be the character on the performance of which Miss Morant prides herself most. She has won higher fame in it than anyother. Lndeed, many of her admirers insist thet her Meg Merriles is quite equal, if not superior, tothai of Charlotte Cushman, of which the Washing- ton public will have an opportunity of judging this evening. Tax Fise ‘The weather is very much against the interests of the fishermen upon the Potomac river. It bag been so cold that the shad and herring turn back and go into deep water,,or pass up other rivers. We are informed that the long seines at the largo it mont, and 1 have not been dipped, there not being fab suficiont to pay for tbe labor. Many of our experienced a eeae @ landings are redicting an unprofitable season, and fish are Piling pry high ica wherever they reach the market. Revisiox axp Copirication or taz Laws At a caucus of the Know Nothing members of the City Councils last night, we learn that the following ticket for commissioners to revise the contemplated codification of the laws of the District, in accordance with the late act of Congress, was agreed upon, to be voted fer in the joint meeting of the Councils on the 9th of April, vis: J. Bradley, E OC. Carrington, J. M. MoCalla, Samuel Shelton, and Josiah FP. Polk. x Two Genuaxs having recently got into a difficulty about business affairs, one of them made out 8 bill against the other for four dol- lars; and the lat.er, as an offset, presented a Lill for three dollars and eighty four cents. Each party swore to his account. In this con- dition of affairs, Justice Smith was compelled to dismiss the case, being unable to decide between them. During the investiga ion, one of the Germans said the other called him a dishonest man, and this epithet was retorted. Coxunprox.—We learn that the silver sine was awarded, last night at the Circus, to the following so-called conundrum : = “ Why is Ham Duvall like a pig patcher?’ “ Because he caught the pig.”” According to nouncement in the bills. “the applause of audience was to decide the winner.”’ If this was the best, we should not care about hearing the worst. Rowprism —The residents of the Second Ward are greatly disturbed by the outrageous conduct of number: of boys who meet at vari- ous , Shocking the ears of passers-by with their profane and indecent language. The arrest and punishment of afew of the worst would no doubt tend to the breaking up of these corrupting schools of vice, ‘Tas > JunyY,were formally discharged, ~ng his honor Judge Crawford; H vi completed the business which was cong before them.

The weather continues piercing cold.

The laying of floor was commenced this morning. It is more than likely that it will be ready for travel some time the ensuing werk. The stracture, from its general Sppearance, will be, w completed, very substantial and du- rable. nd reflect credit upon the coustructors, Messrs. Stone & Quigley, of Philadelphia. The general impressio: about this bridge is, that it is net elevated sufficiently high above the water to permit the largest clasg canal boats, when light, to pass under without coming in contact with is, Mrs. Sewall, widow of the late Dr. Sewall, of your city, died yesterday afternoon at the Tesidence of her son, the Rev.

The flour market is firm with an upward tendency—$9 for standard brands. No wheat or other grains arriviog—oconsequently it is impossible to give any thing like a correct quotation—all kinds are in demand. Specrator. PERSONAL. ++++Col. Kinney has, it is said, sold his fine ranch at Corpus Christi, Texas, to a French company, for $150,000—cash down $100,000. ++++A boy, 14 years of age, son of Mr. Ja- cob Williams, of Wolfsville, Md » last week stripped off his clothes, and hung himself with & rope to the rafter, having swung offfrom a barrel.

Col. Phillips, of Mobile, a member of the late Congrees, was on his way from Wel- don to Charleston, when the cars stopped at a station house and he went out into the air to emoke a cigar. While thus sree |, another train ran into the one in which he was a pass- enger, and the seat whieh he bad peated ary a few minutes before was completely demol- ished, and his cloak, which was lying upon it, perforated by a bar of iron and carried out through the top of the car. ++++ Mr. Samuel Adams, one of the oldest inhabitants of Boston, died at his residence in that city, on the 2ist inst, at the advanced age of ninety-three years. He had been a witness, and to some extent a participant, in many exciting scenes in Boston previous to the commencement of the war of the revolution. +++» David D. Fiske, editor of the Trans cript, is said to be the Know Nothing candi- date for Mayor of Portsmouth, Va. Taking Advantage of Female Confidence. A rather interesting German girl appeared at the Mayor's offiee a few days since and pre- i i rman man, named Robert Edmund Theele. From her affidavit it appears that Theel and her became acquainted in September last, who three days after his first introduction to her proposed marriagepwhich she, in good faith accepted. Subsequently she says that she gave Theei sundry sums of money — in all to $60, for the purpose of purchasing furniture pre- paren to getting married, and going to jouse keeping. After the above amount been expended, he proposed to her that she should give him sufficient mo: to establish acigar store at170 Sixth avenue, to which Lobe rete she acceded, and the store was ao- cordingly opened on the 3d of November last, atan aapen © of $540, which money she fur- nished him. In addition to the above amcunts of money she states that she lent him a gold wateh and chain, one gold ring, one pair of gold specta- cles, and one silk umbrella, in ali valued at about $119.50. She also swears that Theel did not contribate any capital towards establish- ing the cigar store, above alluded to, and that e never received, in re‘urn for the money advanced, over $17, which was out of the pro- ceeds of the store. It now turns outthat Mr. Theel’s real name is Schneider, and that he ia a married man, living with and supporting his family in Seventh street, in this city, out of the proceeds of her store and business above named. Immediately on hearing of these facts she closed the store; but the stock on hand with fixtures, will not exceed $100, leaving her out of pocket about $600, by the speculation. Upon the above facts being sworn to, Jus- tice Osborn issued a warrant for the arrest of Schneider, who was arrested on Tuesday mor- ning, and taken before the Judge, who re- quired him to give bail in the sum of $500 to anewer for the charge —N. Y. Express. _ CaP" It is now believed that twenty volames will hardly contain all the MSS. of the Emper- or,Napoleon Bonaparte, collected by Louis Na- polesn. Many letters, &o., written by the Emperor, are in atext hardly legible; it ie only with the greatest difficulty that the ex- act words are made out. Mexicas Arrairns.—Merxican dates to the 19th instant have been received. Santa Anna had been rceeivej at the Capitol with great enthusiasm. It wes reported that Alvarez fled on the approach ef Santa Anna’s troops, and that they would pursue him to the neigh- borhood of Acapulco. An Exrexsive Frew eccurred in the town of Sandersville, Georgia, on the afternoon of Saturday last. Thirty-five buildings were destroyed, ixcluding the court-house, post- office, Central Georgian printing office; Ma- sonic, Odd Fellows, and Knights of Jericho Lodges, with their records. Many families who were possessed of competence have lost all. Not astore of any description is left in the place. : = Lociver Matcugs.—The assistant secretary of one of the largest fire offices in London, says that the introduction of the lucifer match has caused it an annual loss of ten thousand pounds sterling! A calculation is made thus: lucifers going off probably from heat, 80; ebildren playing with lucifers, 45; rat gnaw- ing lucifers, 1; jackdaw playing with lucifers, 1. Total, 127. Baxer.—It was reported at Cape Island, yesterday, that Baker, the murderer of Poole, landed ‘at that place, and is secreted in the woods. The citizens and others immediately started in search of the fugitive. Baker seems to have the power of ubiquity.

It is as follows: ‘« Her Majesty is much offended at the Times.

So convinced is his al Highness of this, that ho is represented to have said to some of those having the honor of his friendship, that he believes the Monarchy will come to an end with the of his wife. We are rapidly drifting, he thinks, to republicanism.” pee Caan EmigRation.—Western emigration appears to be greater this spring than is many years. Hundreds and tho of people are leaving the Eastern States and going to Kansas, Ne vere _ other —— J GH a Ham- lets and villages are springing up all over the vast Western prairies; woaee once was heard only the howl of the wild beasts now echoes the woodman’s axe, sledge-hammer, and hum of busy industry. Our advice is, do not let yourselves be penned up in the thickly- Populated cities of the Kast, for there is a vast country West yet to be filled up with useful and intelligent inhabitants. It will take many ye even at the present rapid strides of ane to form an unbroken link of white settlers between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts —Tvledo Blade. Barrisu Recrvirs.—A despatch from Phil- adelphia says that a partial investigation has been hsd before United States Commissioner Haslitt, of the recruits arrested on beard the eteamboat Sandford yesterday morning. The final hearing hes been adjourned until Satur day. There were fifteen persons arrested, in- cluding those having charge of the recruits It is that sixty were sent on to Halifax junday, and the supposition is that 500 have gone on from this city. Yesterday morning, a vessel left Boston with some fifty passengers for Halifax, who are reported to be its from New York for the British army. An agent says they are railroad laborers. ee ee, Es The Literary Gazette advises to establish an scclimatising society in England like the onein France. The object is to introduce and Baturalise useful plants and animals of other countries. France, through its society, has come into possession of the yaks of T' ibet, which combine the utility of the cow, the ass, and the sheep ; of certain species of fish pecu- liar to Germany and Switzerland; of silkworms from Piedmont; of goats from Algeria; of nutritious tubers and plants from South Amer- ica, &c. In a recent sitting, strong recom- mendations that the ats of Arabia, which, in addition to the qualities of the European ass, possesses speed: the ewes of Arabia, which feed on little and give abundant milk; the sheep of the Kollo, which produce a vast quan. tity of wool; and the zebra, shall be natural- ized in Western Europe. pact Saame Apatep.—The New York Times cf yesterday say: ‘kest shades of New York life “One of thi will be exposed to-day. Forty-five women, ar- rested upon Broadway last evening, are to be breught up bofore the Police Courts to receive sentence as vagrants. The Mayor’s broom has reached the sidewalks. He determines that one of the ered on the character of the city shall deface it no longer. The effort is none the less salutary because it has been so long delayed. Scenes of debauchery, mid- night disturbances and boisterous quarrels, partly incited by this nuisance of nightly Tepetition, will find a check if the Mayor per- severes.”” Exuisting TRoops ror THE WAR IN THE East.—A morning paper—we don’t recollect which—stated the other day that the attempt to recruit soldiers in this city for the war Th the East had been discontinued. We think this will be a mistake, inasmuch as a German paper of this city, the New Yorker Demokrat of yesterday contairs an advertisement, of which we here give the translation.—New York Post. 9" “1,500 to 2,000 young unemployed men who ssek employment may apply at No 91 Chatham street, from 9 o’clock fe the morning to 4 in the afternoon.
