R. =| 1a GSTA —S—SSS '\ LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Ove AbygRtisers—C. W-. Boteler, Iron Ilali, bas, he informs the public, recently re- evived a fine assortment of superior plated | ; veds, plated on albata and copper. No one | van form a correct idea of the beauty and workmanship of the articles without a personal inspection. They bear the closest resemblance to silver, at less than one tenth the cost of the mere valuable metal. Besides these, (em- bracing tea setts, cake baskets, tankards, *poons, forks, and elegant covered dishes,) his assortment of other house-furnishing articles is complete and of the latest and most elegant <— of manufacture. ‘he Academy of Music proposes to give a series of four concerts; the great works of Beethoven, Mozart, Mendlesohn, Spohr, Hum- mel, and others, relieved by lighter composi- tions, to be produced with the greatest possi- ble effect, both in the orchestral and vocal de- partments. The plan of admission is by sub- scription only—fiyg dollars for the four con- certs—the same as adopted by the Academy of Music in London. A. H. Young, an old established merchant tailor, is now prepared to fill any order, in the Dewest and best style, pry Persons calling at his establishment will be sure of good fits, and the most desirable articles, at | j reasonable prices. The season for danzing has arrived, and those who have a knowledge of theart neglect no opportunity of indulging themselves in that innocent, healthful exercise. But there are other persons who are ignorant of the steps and the figures. not be the fault of Professor W. H. Munder, who will resume the duties of his school about the 25th of October. The first thing that a visitor to the city, who wants good board and lodging in a private house, inquires for, are such accommodations as will e him “‘ at home’’ and comfortable. Inquire of our advertising columns. ili ! The word, at this season. is electric. The ladies are—and for this we find no fault with them—deeply interested in the subject. Unless the fair sex have altered their desires, in this respect, within the last fourth of a century, they will “take the rounds,”’ “stepping in’’ to see the ‘“ newest styles,’ and all the “‘loveable’’ articles in that important branch of business. Lest they may have forgotten, we hereby respectfally remind them that Miss Emilie Pibram & Co. opened their “ most fashionable’’ style of fall and winter bonnets, ribands, flowers. and head-dresses on Saturday last; and that Mrs. Choate will open her beautiful assortment of similar necessary adornments, to-day: being ready to attend punctually to all orders with which the ladies may favor her. She is noted for her good taste and discrimination in those important matters. Maxwell & Bro. opened, to-day, their large and elegant assortment of cloaks, talmas, and mantillas, for ladies and misses. Among the styles are the Broadway Beauty, the Boston Admiration, the School Girl’s Fancy, and the Rachel Talma. Beautiful articles indee and for which doubtless there will be anabunc- ance of customers; for, the fair ones of this sity are famed for exquisite taste in such arti- eles of wear. In addition to the cloaks, tal- mas, and mantillas, the ladies (not the hus- bands and fathers who have to fuot the bills) will be pleased to learn that those courteous and cnterprising merchants have various kinds of shawls and scarfs, beside the trim- mings which enter into the composition of a superb and fashionable wardrobe. ‘ersons in want of good guna, at this season. when game is beginning to abound, can be supplied at Tucker & Co.'s well supplicd es- tablishment. F. L. Moore is prepared to supply the pub- lic with the best Cumberland Coal, at from $3 75 to $5 a ton. Mrs. H A Putney opened, to-day, a splen- did assortment of French hats and head dressers, and mantles for ladies, and fancy cloaks for children, ard Mrs. Eader and sister also opened, to-day, their fashionable millinery dress-making es- tablishment. No wonder our city ladies array themselves so elegantly, when they enjey so many advan- tages for that purpose. tiood clothes is an iustitution’’ which both sexes will ‘+ defend to the Last”” cent. Music! Nothing is more delightful than to be aroused in the “ stilly night’’ by the sweet strains of music, and on the occasion of balls, parties, and parades, instrumental harmony is necessary among civilized beings. The best anusic for such purposes is always a desider- atum; and we ean, with confidence, recom- zaend Weber’s Excelsior brass, reed, and string band, to all who are ambitious to procure su- perior instrumental melody. Persona intending housekeeping will, of course, look to the auction sales, where they will find that they can purchase an article, from a gridiron toa piano forte. This connec- tion may not be classical, but nevertheless our remark is justified by announcements in the advertisements. Houses, too, are advertised for rent. From the large number of them the seekers can make desirable selections. And if people do not want to rent just now, they can purchase eligible sites tur dwelling houses, and concult their own taste in their erection {n this connection we may, with propriety, mention that Galt 4 Brother advertise a beau- tiful and extensive assortment of extra plated tea sets, offering them, as they say, (and they are truthful as well as enterprising manufac- turers,) at low prices. They also have many pretty wedding presents. Were we to attempt a full and complete in- dex of our advertisements, we should have more on our hands than we can now conve- niently attend to; but we may, as we now do, briefly invite attention to the columns of the Star, where our readers, of all classes and conditions, will find something to interest them in the way of making purchases. Tae Ansestzes from Norfolk and Ports- mouth in this city, between one and two hun- dred of them, are making arrangements to return to their respective homes in the course of the coming week, they having received letters from their friends that it ia now safe to de so. The yellow fever commenced its ravages in Portsmouth about two wecks before it ap- peared in Norfolk, and, therefore, has had more time to expend its fury. For this rea- son it is considered that absentees may return to Portsmouth with more safety than to Norfolk. Many of the refugees are mechanics, who have nearly, if not all, been employed in Washington ; and on their return to the above named cities of Virginia, will resume the sit- uations which have been kept open for then. Although they will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to return thither, their hearts wil it is naturally sup) d, be in- tensely pained when they reflect upon the cause which bas deprived them of cherished relatives and friends, and lost to those cities @ large number of their most esteemed and valuable inhabitants. Uston Cuorr Association.—The board of directors decided, at their meeting last night, to secure, permanently, a room in Temperance Hall, for their rehoarsals, owing to its central . . Daniel was elected Conductor for the ensuing term; F. A. Tucker having declined a re-election to that office, the duties of which he so ably and faithfully discharged ; but the Association will find in his successor a reliable and well-quatified substitute. Capt. Tucker was complimented with a vote ‘ of thanks for the satisfactory manner in which he conducted the Association from the com- mencement of its organization to the present time. The rehearsal. on —— beld in the Foundry Church, teenth and G streets Tax Srxop of Virginia, (new school Presby- terian) commenced its session in the United Presbyterian church, Richmond, on Wednes- day. Kev. Byron Sunderland, of Washington, was elected Moderator, and Rev. Henry Mat- » thews and C. W. Adams were elected clerks.

Jar Lovers or Daxcrxe, and the number of" such persons hereabouts is not small, will have am opportunity, on Monday night, of gratifying themselves, in this respect, to the fullest extent. ‘The Assembly Rooms, on Louisiana avenue, will doubtless be thronged with gallantry and beauty, for at that place, so well adapted fur the purpose, the Perseverance Fire Company will give their grand annual ball. They will spare: neither time nor expense to make it, they say, ‘+ the ball of the seasen.’? The ex- ercises will be opened with a grand march, composed expressly fur the oecasion. The ad- yertisement contains the particulars of the “order of the’? night. While the Perseverance Fire Company and their guests will be enjoying themselves in the central part of the city, the Red, White and Blue Ordnance Club will be similarly engaged at the Odd Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard. They will, on Monday night, give their second grand annual ball. hey will, they say, endeavor to make happy and merry every one who may ‘honor them with their presence,”’ a pledge which they have the ability to redeem. Court or Cuaims.—Yesterday. Mr. Law- rence closed his argument in the case of Lydia R. Shrieve and Walter R. Carter, who claim damages of government for its use of an in- vention fur removing snags, sawyers and other obstructions from rivers. ‘The court then proceeded to call a number of eases, which were not ready for argument. 33 on the law docket being called, was en up and fort for argument. Itis the case of Joseph Nock, of Pennsylvania, arising out of a contract made with him by Postmas- ter General Kendall for the construction of mail bag locks and keys. -Mr. Parish, of Phil- adelphia, appeared for the claimant, and of- ed afew remarks. Le was followed by the icitor, who read the petition, and dwelt upon it atlength. Mr. Parish closed the case at « quarter to three o'clock. Mr. Artbur McArthur, of Maine, and Mr. Clement W. Bennett, of this city, were then sworn attorneys of this court; and the court adjourned. Wrsay.—This gontleman, after amusing thousands of persens at Odd Fellows’ Halli, during the present week, will conclude his series of performances to-night. Though he bas made frequent visits to Washington, he never fails to attract ‘full houses.’’ An even- ing ot bo more innocently spent than at his exhibitions. There is a brisk competition among firemen for the prize pictures (representing scencs i the life of firemen) to-be awarded to the com- pany purchasing the largest number of tick- ets. Fasuty Jars.—Last night, eight or ten per- sous, all related by family ties, were coliected at the guard-house, before Justice Birch; the occasion of the extraordinary meeting not be- ing to celebrate a re-union of the various branches of the geneological tree, but to sct- tle a dispute originating between two sisters- in-law. The testimony was such as need not be related inthe newspapers. It was notof a claseical character, however. The Justice suggested to them a pacific settlement of the disturbance among themselves, but they pre- ferred the binding over of each other to keep the peace Tue Evitor or raz Tavutg did not celebrate the Sixteenth Anniversary of the institution of total abstinence last night. as he had con- templated, in consequence of a disappoint- ment in his procuring the use of the saloon of Temperance Hall for that put His idea was to combine all the friends of truth, equity and justice, in the vow of “ Robertson's Con- stitutional Guard ;”’ thus redeeming the peo- plo from the stigma of being “a nation of drunkard.’’ Frayncix Fire Company.—We have been requested to state, by Mr. Robert E. Rafer the president of this company, that at their meet last night, by unanimous vote, it was declared that they decline taking any part whatsoever in the sale of the tickets with a view to obtain the prize pictures at Wyman’s exhibition, tonight; preferring that the money which might thus be expended be appropriated by the constitutional members for procuring uniforms forthwith. Paraps.—Tho regiment of the District of Columbia will parade on Monday. When all the companies composing it are congregatod, in their diversified uniforms, no prottier mili- tary spectacle can be presented. It should justly be the pride of our citizens to foster those organizations, as, in time of war, or in- ternicine disturbances, requiring stern reme- dies, the community can best rely on the citi- zen soldiery. Dasinu Mauoney, a laborer at the Capitol extension, was instantly killed, between IL and 12 o’clock, this morning, by falling from a seaffolding, about thirty-five feet, to the floor of the new Hall of Representatives. He leaves afomily.
