LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. A Hanacess Miuitary Curer.—Almost everybody in this city has seen the individual } parts arra: with a view to the pe- whe bas been christened with the name of | culiar ¢: ities of the vocalists. On Thurs- a i . Whether or not it was | day evening their first public rehearsal will given to him by his ‘ sponsors in baptism’’ is | take place at Temperance Hall; the admission @ question which no record hereabout deter- | fee mines. But certain it is, he is better known ae» by this cognomen than any other, though we suspect that his surname is Daggett. George is inoffensive, and never diplays iil- temper, save when inconsiderate persons, by teazing, disturb his usual equanimity. He Sometimes, that he is the possessor ,~ of immense wealth; in fact, that he has a valid ‘title to the entire country, and is sufficiently welland legally sustained toclaim the “throne - of America; ’ ‘an article, however, which has not “oon pg by the explorers of this ee . ment, We patriotically trust never wil discovered. But George is strenuous in his “assumptions, and it does no harm to permit i i - yp rar — He may appropriately exclaim, in the language of the ong, My mind tomea Ringteas ie BS George is extremely fond of military exhi- Ditions; and whenever he can obtetn any soldierly adornment, he wears it; cither a cockade or a gold band, or a ehoulder-knot ; and in lieu of a sword, or a musket, he sports ® cane or a broomstick; the latter answering the purpose, perhaps, of a marshal’s baton * Thus accoutred, George is a leader of imagi- =~ hosts; although we have never perceived in him a fighting propensity, except when a rude dog or an il!-bred human“ cur’’ crosses his path. We have never had the pleasure cf seeing him on horseback, though he sometimes rides in a cart, which, in his faney, serves him for a coach, and answers his locomotive purposes. He never condescends to walk abroad without being ‘the observed of all observers.”’ He cannot even perform an er- rand for a store without attracting attention and eliciting comment, especiaily from ‘‘ the ero in Monday, some kind friend dressed George in a military suit; a long-tailed blue coat with fiery-red facings and big buttons, and gave himya hat which formerly covered the head of a Continental Guard—a cocked hat, with a stunted plume. To say that the distinguished individual was delighted with his gear, but feebly expresses, per aps, the real state of his feelings on that occasion. Direetly he ap- eared in front of the City IHuell, where the Yistriet regiment was mustering, he was greeted by, it seemed to us, a thousand juve- niles, who received him with cheers and o:her vocal explosions, and they rushed forward to examine his regimentals and pay him a com- — by holding up hia coat-tail! In fact, @ was overwhelmed with such attentions. They were not, it was evident, bestowed with 2 view to injure George, but in mere innocent sport. For a while the recipient of those ex- traordinary honors bowed his profound ac- wiedgements, As to whether it was his awkwardness or his grace which most pleased, Weare not sufliciently well acquainted with etiquette to pronounce an opinion, but cert it is his bowings delighted the assembled juve- niles, who, for the time, had turned their at- tention from the citizen soldiery to have a lit- Ue sport at poor George’s expense. But this happy time for the boys was denly interrupted. The Chief of Police, Mr. Jobn Davis, advanced, and, in sympathy for the victim cf the noisy juveniles, offered him- self asa body-guard, and gently and kindly conducted him to the room in the City Hail devoted to the purposes of the police, there to be hospitably secured agninst further moles- tation. He left the premises, after the boys bad vacated the maighhertiond, aud returned to his quarters. In tho afternoon he was seen enjoying a p2- rade allto himself. From beneath his civic overcoat peeped out the military skirt’, with the fiery red cloth facings. He was in quick , as if on his way ‘a council of war. e have alluded to George, and ventured to referto his chief characteristics, to shew the condition «f his mind, which should elicit sympatby, instead of provoking interference with his evolutions and fancies. Let him auety enjoy himself. Do not disturb him in the pursuit of pleasure in his own eccentric way. He never interferes with others to their discomfort. Then why should his misfurtune become a rt, @ matter of trifi and an offence to kim? We repectfully appeal to his tormentors to let him alone. It is cruel to Worry a man with “a mind diseased.’” Wo appeal to generous youth to suffer him to pass unmolested. Cover or Craiws.—Yesterday, the argu- ment in the case of John C. Hale, No. IS cn the law docket, was resumed. Mr. Stanton spoke at length, quoting numerous authorities to prove the title of the claimact to this valu- able tract of land in Arkansas, and submitted the case for the decision of the court, 23 to whether testimony should be taken or not. The court then called the cases of Asbury Dickins, Michae! Nourse, and John Kob, r-- c ly designated oa the law docket as Nos. 40, 41, and 51. Mr. Badger appeared for Mr. Dickinz, Mr. Baxter for Mr. Nourse, and Mr. Lawrence for Mr. Rob. The same question being involved in these cases, they Were argued together. These claims are for compensation for ser- viees performed when officer: of government, arising from their appointment as secretaries ad interim, under the act of 1792. The argument in these cases was opened by Mr. Baxter, who based his remarks upon the right of an cfficer performing the duties of two ‘ese to receive the compensation of both. Mr. Lawrence followed in support cf the po- sition taken by Mr. Baxter. The Solicitor followed Mr. Lawrence in he- half of government The court, at three o’clock, adjourned. Visitixg Firemen —The Prctectioa Fire Company, of Rechester, N. Y., arrived in Baltimore yesterday afternoon, on a visit to the Independent Fire Company of the last named city. About four hundred firemen, though the day was rainy, turned ont to do them honor. The procession is represented as having been in the highest degree imposing. The Protection Fire Company having iat'- mated their intention of extending their visit to Washington, a meeting of our firemen was ealied last night for the purpose of making arrangements for their reception. The Co- lumbia, Union, Franklin, Perseverance, and Northern Liberties only were represented, although we believe that the other ecmpanies will urite with their brethren in the dispenss- tion of hospitalities. A resolution was passed authorizing the president of each company to appoint a committee of ten to act as an escort. As it is uncertain whether the Rochester vis- itors will arrive this evening or to-morrow, it has been arranged that, as soon as informa- tion shall reach Washington concerning the time of their arrival, the Perseverance bel! shail be tolled, in which event the firemen wiil assemble to carry into effect their ar- rangements. Juvexite Tatey —We mentioned, yester- day, that a youth was arrested by a lady i Centre Market for stealing her porte monna’ which article, containing nearly thirteen dol- Jars, she found secreted in his sleeve; and we likewise stated that a silver watch was dis covered on his person. This article is “ cylinder escapement; four holes jewel 7,532, M. I. Tobias & Co, Liverpool,” second hands. The boy is aged about sixteen years, and is a Baltimore thief. At the time the lady, to whom we have referred, seized him, a man stepped up and claimed him as his gon, and requested her to surrender the lad to him, promising to whip the youth for his dishonesty. The lady dissenting, he left the premises, saying ho would procure a cow- hide for the castigating purposes. He, how- ever, did not return. From these cireum- stances, which are suspicious, it is presumed that the adult was the confederate of the thief. Coax axp MasTiLia Euporium —Maxwell & [Brother, No 323, Penuosylvania avenue, have wade great preparations for fitting up their second story rooms for the exclusive sale of cloaks, manti!? and shaw!s. We bave rarély seen so larg? a dizplay of ladie Wrap ings in any otuer establishment. Among H 41 styles of cloaks and talmas, so es peony, are the * Rachel, |‘ Empress anise Eugenio, ' ‘ Broadway uty,” “Jessie,” | oy the sy: . Guaker City,” ete. We take pletue in recommending Maxwell & Brother's variety of those goods to the ladies of Washington, x Georgetown, Alexandria, and their vicinities. | on 13th st-eet. +) embraces some of a fact which has ys been demonstrated in their musical entertainments. The weekly prac- tice has enabled - members to sxeeute Pane russes, quartets, duets, solos, etc., w re- matkabte jision and effect; the various iy twenty-five cents. Professor J, c. Poertscl will preside at the piano-forte. Supe.y Assoctation.—A writer in the In- tell! of this morning, suggests that an association be formed, with a view of procuring the necessaries of life at eost prices. So soon asa fund of $1,000 shall be raised, at $10 o share, & supply of flour, wood, and coal, to be procured and sold to the subscribers at cost prices, adding the incidental expenses attend- ing the arrangements. ‘‘ Let,’’ he says, “ only a fow of our eitizens unite and draw the pro- gramme of such an association, and thousands will flock into it.’’ We heartily second the motion. — TeMPERANCE.—The cause, we regret to state, is not in as floufshing a condition as hereto- fore. We learn that, in consequence, Equal Division, Sons of Temperance, recently passed a resolution to the effect that the back dues to the division, up to the present quarter, com- mencing on the first instant, be remitted in full. ‘he arrearagos, it is supposed, have prevented some of the members irom attend- ance; and hence the action to which we have above referred. Nice.—Ridenour & Co., (on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets,) appreciating the fact that printers are men of taste, sent over to the com- posing room of the Ster office, this morning, some of their Boston cream cakes and Mary- land tarts. There was a good tafe all round. If the worthy proprietors could have heard the encomiums passed upon their fresh confec- tionery they would strut at least a foot taller. AxoTuER Batt will take place at the Wash ington Assembly Rooms to-morrow evening The Liberty Club, com; d of young men, have eng*ged a fine band of music for the oc- casion, and pledge themselves that neither pains nor expense shall be spared to make it one of the best balls of the season. Toe Nortuen Lisrrties Firs Company announce their ball to take place on tbe (ith of November, at the Washington Assembly rooms. Having ample time in which to make their arrangements, we doubt not that, as heretefore, these will be such as to insure sat- isfaction and delight. Deatn’s Doixes.—It is with profound re- gret that we announce the death, which took Place last night, of David Finch, a maste: painter, and likewise that of Beniah Willett, a master carpenter, which occurred this morn- ing. These gentlemen, for many years. t acted business in this city, each pos high moral character, and justly enjc respect and confidence of the community. Nationan Tneatre.—It is merely necessa- ry for us to remark that, this evening, th« charming and versatile actress, Miss Agnes Robertson, will appear at this popular estab- lishment; performing several of her favorit characters. Mr. Jetferson, who is deservedly afavorite with the play-going public, will chaunt the doleful ditty of *‘ Villikins and his Dinab.”” The Yellow Fever. We learn from the Norfolk papers of Mon- day, that cases of fever are of daily occur rence, though the disease is of a mitigated form. There were three new cases on Satur- day. On Friday there were five deaths. on Saturday two, and on Sunday two—not al! of fever, however. The Herald cautions absentees to remain away. The Argus says many have returned through necessity, having entirely run out of funds. From Portsmouth the accounts are very con- tradietory—some letters speaking of the exis- tence of cases of yellow fever, and of four or five interments per day, while others, equally reliable, eny the sickness is occasioned by the exposure of the refugees in the adjacent coun- ry, and that, in consequence, since their return, they are euffering severely with a malignant belious fever. Those who return healthy are not affected by anything of a yel- low fever nature, but remain healthy. We find in our exchanges the following no- tives of contributions for the benefit of the sufferers and orphans: A Secteh gentleman, who has never been in the United States, has contributed $50 for the relief of the sufferers The treasurer cf the Howard Association acknowledges the receipt of three boxes of clothing from the ladies of Petersburg, Va., for the orphans, The churches of Newburyport, Mass., have contributed about one thousand doliars fur the relief of the sufferers from yellow fever in Portsmouth and Norfulk. The superintendent and employees on the Columbia and Philadelphia railroad have con- tributed the sum of five hundred and five dol- lars to the Norfolk and Portsmouth sufferers. We learn from the Baltimore American that the line of steamers between that port and Norfolk will commence making daily trips on the first of November, at which time the fever embargo wili be entirely removed. The course of this company, during the past few months, in running their steamers at a heavy expenee without remuneration, in order to suecor the pestilence-stricken cities of Norfolk and Ports- mouth, and to convey to them the necessaries of life, aud of death also, when cut off by all other lines of travel, cannot but have secured to them the kindly feelings of the traveling putlic. which will, doubtless, be evinced on ail suitable occasions by the citizens of the North and the South. "9 Mixer, the double murderer, wa: tried in Cumberland, M4., yesterday, for the murder of Henry Gracf, and found guilty of the crime in the first degree. The testimony was nearly the tame asin the case of the murder of Dr. liadel, of which, it will be recollected, he was convicted several days ago. Miss Axprews.—This lady, who, with such noble humanity volunteered her serviees to nuree the sick in Norfolk, at the beginning of tue epidemic, aad who has courageously per- severed in her perilous vocation until the day of afiliction is past, arrived in Richmond on Monday The Dispatch says, she is accompa- nied by Dr. W. B. Whitehead, son of the act- ing Mayor of Norfolk; ani that-she was met at the wharf by a large number of refugees, who Were anxious to sce her and express to her their gratitude for her noble conduct towards their people. She was treated with every merk ofrospect and attention by Capt. Davis, ef the Curtis Peck. Miss A. is a citizen of the South—her parents residing in St Joseph's, Louisana. She was staying with a relaiive at Syracuse, N. Y., when she heard of the afilic- (ion in Norfulk, aud resolved to g> todo what the could fur the suffering people. Miss A. will remain for a few days in the city. CU} The watchman at the Portobello station of the North British Railway, one night Lut week, bored a hole in a whisky cask, with a view to the dishonest aj priation of soma of the contents. The cask was in a wagon, with other goods in transttu, and when the wood had been perforated the liquor gushed out and isnited at the man’s lantern. The result was a conflagration which destroyed the wagon and the whole of the goods in it. £3> When is money damp; When it is due in the morning and mist at night DIED, 41th fastant, Mr. BENIAH WILLETT, : year of his ace. ‘The fileads of the Samnily tfully in- vited to attend bis funeral ‘Fo: morrow Afternoon ‘0-morrow Afternoon, the 25‘ inst , at 3 o'clock, from bjs late residence _.
