__ A = : 3 ee EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, logyrirication.—We yesterday published an account of there having been found in the woods, near the Washington and Piscataway road, the head, leg. and ribs of a man, sup- ed to be about thirty years of age: the flesh aving been eaten from the body, it was sup- posed, by dogs or hogs. We have since learn- ed that the remains have been identified as those of Dr. Grant, of Baltimore, who was in Prince George’s county with a view of pur- = He had stopped at a public house kept by Mr. Surrat, who identified the clothes. After leaving that ey he had tar- ried at another house, kept by a Mr. Thora, on the way read, and in whose com- pany he was last teen. In speaking of this subject, the Alexandria Gazette says: __" We are informed that warrants have been issued for the arrest of two men suspected of having murdered the deceased. Dr. Grant bad a considerable amount of money with him at the time he was murdered, (of which fact there seems now to be no doubt,) a fine gold watch, and other valuables, none of which hare bes been found. We are also informed that the deceased had a family who resided in Baltimore.” Cow-ARDLY ProceEDINes.—The field south of the windmill, in the Seyenth Ward, is a general gathering place for the cows belonging to citizens in that part of Washington. As many as one hundred and fifty there congre- gate. They are characteristically peaceable among themselves, but, Sometimes, like their milk in warm weather, their dispositions are soured by extraneous causes, and great, then, isthe commotion among the animals. Such was the case on Tuesday morning. A, in search of sport, seized on the first object in his way—a cow’s nose—for the gratification of bis propensity; and held on to it with his teeth. The quadruped thus cireumstanced, lowed for help, but, instead of her sister cows coming to her rescue, they rushed w the sufferer and her tormentor, as though y re- garded the alarm given by her az a challenge to battle. The unequal contest continued ‘er some minutes, and so furiously as to arrest the attention of many citizens, who interposed and put an end to the conflict. The poor cow was shockingly gored, and so much injured that she may become unfit for domestic use. Z Escare or A Tuer, &c—Last night, Mr. 'T. H. Havener, whose residence is on C street, between Four-and-a-half and Sixth, found a * man sitting on the floor in his room, examining the pockets of his (Mr. H.’s) pants with as Muuch coolness as if they belonged to him, and he were in his own room. Fortunately. all that he found was a few keys and about fifty cents. The scamp is a@ stout. powerful man, and made his escape before Mr. H. could do anything toward securing him. He had entered the house through a front second story window. by means of a ladder brought from the stable a few yards below, and escaped through the back way. An attempt to rob was also made on the Ex- change Hotel, three doors east of Mr. H.’s, which was a failure, and the watchman on that beat found the door of Mr. J. F. Ennis’s office, on Louisiana avenue, open at a very un- usual hour; he fastend it, a: kept a look out on the neighborhood the remainder of the night. These oceurrences all took place in the same neighborhood, and about the same time. Neciectixe Dury.—Several citizens have complained to us of late of the difficulty they have in inducing the scavengers of tho city to attend promptly the calls on oem. Him of the secoud Ward is most complained of, so far. We are satisfied that th, community have just grouad of complaint against these public ser- vants. A want of due ene y and attention to business on their part at this time is an in- sufferabl:; nuisance; as the weather is so o ; sales hot and often so close that the aiture of one of them to attend within twenty- four hours after being “called in” profession- ally. endangers the health of all the residents of thesquare. We trust that tho Board of Health will promptly look into this matter, and take measures to prosecute any seavenger who fails to respond to calls made on him. so tong that his offence becomes known to the public at large, through its flagrant rankness. Mctic—a Gsttoravr —The evening being comparatively cool, and, therefore, pleasant, @ very large company of adults and juveniles assembled yesterday on the Capitol grounds, to promenade and to listen to the delightful music of the Marine Band. who, on the occa- sion, were in most excellent tune. The com- pany were all listening to the enlivening sounds, when the deep rolling thunder, and the froquently occurring lightning, caused them to look overhead. Then they beheld the gathering of dark clonds, portending the coming rain; aud much alarm was expressed leat the ponte aqueous outpouring should act as ashower-bath. Before the people there congregated had time to make goud their es- cape, down came the torrent, wetting them, for the greater part, thoroughly ; while others, having been more cautious in starting home- ward, had taken shelter in stores along the line of the avenue. It was a gallopade not mentioned in the programme. St. Marr's Instirete.—On the 27th of July, the distribution of premiums at this in- stitution of learning.at Bryantown. Maryland, took place. Over two hundred invited guests were present, among whom was a large repre- sentation from this city, including Professor J. A. Young, who ably conducted the vocal and instrumental music with which the exercises were interspersed. Mivs Anna M. Fitzpatrick, of Washington, was awarded the first premium in music—a silver medal; also, the highest testimonial of the institute—a beautiful gold medal and diploma. At the close of the pro- ceedings, Miss Fitzpatrick, having graduated, delivered a fucewall eddies to the teachers and scholars, which, owing to the language in which it was clothed, and the feeling manner in which it was rendered, brought tears to the eyes of the greater number of thoss who were —= Rev. John Donelau followed in a ©W appropriate closing remarks. Everybody Was evidently delighted with the proceedings. Tne New Drive.—The superintendent of the public grounds in the vicinity of the Presi- dent's Mansion, has thrown open the south square to the public, improvement being sufficiently completed. This is the large pub- lie lot immediately south of the Executive Mansion, extending down to the river's shore. It is much the largest finished reservation in Washington, and is prepared with serpentine drives, as well as the necessary foliage and walks, which (the connecting drives) are per- haps a mile in length. One enjoys there ne- cessarily all the breeze that may nearly always be found in the immediate vicinity of the river. It can hardly be long before cur fellow ettizens, who ride on horse-back or sport equi- pages, will avail themselves frequently of the comfort and pleasure to be found in this new public square. Marker Tareves.—A poor colored man who had soid his chickens inthe market, but who could not count his money, asked a young Scamp to count it for him, that he might make ® correct return to his employer. The fellow tock the money out of the roll, and, instead, gave the countryman some pieces of paper Wrapped in the oldcover. Officer Cox and his rtner arrested the seamp, and made him re- und. Another dealer had a basket of eggs stolen from him by a respectable looking man, who is known to the owner of the eggs. It is to be hoped that this was done Ly mistake, and that the basket and contents will be re turned Deowxep —A colored man, employed on one of the schooners at the wharf, was yesterday afternoon suddenly missed by the master of the vessel ; he having fallen, accidentally, into the river while the captain was below. The deceased was a slave, and so highly esteemed that his employer determined to take the body to Virginia, to be buried by his acquaintances and friends. It was placed im @ close box, and packed with ice for preservation Batarxc —Mothing more contributes to health than the bath, and certainly at this #:as0n it is refreshing. The bath house, No. 350 C street, in the rear of the National hotel, is an old and popular establishment; and we Gre plessed to learn that Mrs. Saunders will continue to keep it open for the accommoda- tion of those who desire to avail themselves of } the remedial agent. Regursrrton.—Yesterday, Offi ir ar- rived inthis ety from Virgin with a heekie- ion for the man atthe rail de- pot by Chiet of Pol Joha Davis and, Officer emble as a n ive from bares He was deliverd to Officer Tyler, who left this morning, with his prisoner in custody. We have been informed that stolen property has beon found in his possession. “= » Pruvergas.—Another bundle of calico was offered for sale, yesterday. by a little boy to a ady. The price asked for the entire piece was only twenty-five cents, which was soc’ eap that the lady concluded the goods to be stolen, and turned the bundle over to officer Wollard, who has left it at the office of Justice Smith to be identified. Merchants should be careful with their goods at the present time, when so many pilferers are about the city. Scppex Deatu.—We were informed yester- day of the sudden death of a lady who resided in the Second Ward, near Thirteenth street She was a married lady, and was in good health while in company with her husband the evening previous, but was found dead in her house yesterday morning. Several ladies were in search of the coroner, but we have not heard of any inquest. Mrs. ANvERsoy, a youn; married lady. wife of Mr. Anderson, attached to the =! aper and stationery establishment of Mezsrs A’ Sped- den & Baker, of this city, died suddenly at Mrs. Beck’s boarding house yesterday morn- ing, and before the arrival of her husband, who had been sent for when she was taken ill. It is understood that she has been suffering for some time with a disease of the heart. Croat Covet.—This morning, the court granted a new trial in the case of George Rag- lan. who was recently convicted of the murder of Francis iit, gris but he will not be again arraigned until the next term, te which, after disposing of a few petty cases, an adjournment has taken place. Ax Owner Wantep.—A large carpet bag containing a quantity of clothing, books, &c., was found last night in the Fifth Ward and conveyed to the central guard house, where it will remain until called for by the owner. The books are generally publications of the Cath- olic Church; and the name of “ Patrick Ryne” is written on the blank pages. Assautt, Prorasity, &¢.—Joseph Thomas was arrested by officer Mitchell for an assault and open profanity. He was held to seeurity for peace in the United States case, and paid fine and costs in the corporation case. Pat rick Callalan, running carts without license, $10 and costs. — Excursion.—The Youn, Society’s excursion to the nounced for Thursday next, Catholic Friend’: hite House is an- the 9th of August. _ Tae Warcn Returns were blank this morn- ing, and there was only one lodger in the guard-house.

What FP call your attention to are the heaps of garbage on Twelfth street, between F and E streets. Now sir, it seems to me that your officials—the health officers and police of the ward—ougbt not to wait for a notification or information. from a citizen to remind them of their ubvi- ous duty. The law should, if it does not, re quire them to take cognizance of nuisances ; and yet such @ thing seems never to be thoughi of. Here, in the middle of the nineteent) century, the streets of the American capita’ are reeking with filth, while the citizens arc groaning under the weight of taxes to pay the officials. Is it not disgraceful to the city an? country? With the example of a world-wid: reputation which Mayor Wood has acquired. by giving his atteution to these “ small mat- ters,”’ before you, I have been hoping tha you would be moved by emulation to give at tention to them. A Citizen. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Grorcetown, August 2, 1855. Our city this moraing is as quict as a mouse- trap. A perfect dearth of every description of news of a public character prevails. This monotony, we suppose, will be disturbed for « few days after the Mayor’s proclamation shall have been made ordering an election to fill the vacancy in the Board of Aldermen. We shall probably then have served up quite a warm dish of politics of the genuine and arti- ficial American stamp, over which to regal: ourselves until the election is over, and par- ties settle down into their usual quiet again. We were visited again last night by o heavy fall of rain, accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid flashes of lightning.

Fata Acctpext on tue Hupson River Rartroap.—As the 11 o’clock train from Poughkeepsie of this morning was passing Burnham's, a brakeman named James Fitz gerald was instantly killed, by incautiously exposing himself while passing beneath thi bridge. It would appear that he had gone on top of the car for the purpose of taking in the bell rope, and observing some people on the road with whom he was acquainted, he amused himself by making signs tothem, for- getting his close proximity to the bridge. A moment after his head came in contact with the arch, fracturing his skull, and causing im- mediate death. The deceased was quite a young man, and leavesa wife and child in oughkeepsie.—NV. ¥.
