Tae Late Suoorita Arrim.—We have al- wpndy stated that, on Wednesday night last, Mr. James.A. Lovelace was shot on the left. side of his face with a gun in hands of Jobn L. Harmon, his brother-in-law, and that he was conveyed tothe —— Tnfirmary for surgical treatment. Harmon having, shori- ly after the lamentable event, been arrested by officer Boss, and committed ‘to jail for ther examination, he was this mornin; brought before Justice Hollingshead for thi Po evidence was taken, excepting that of Mr. Lovelace, who was waited on by the Jus- tice, at the Infirmary. According to his state- ment, he came home in the evening, and took one of the little boys on his knee, and played with him. All the family sat down to supper. Harmon had been abusive to his (Lovelace’s) sister, and he, the latter, had remained there as a protector to her. Har- mon commenced ab his wife, and picking oP some of the es, threw them upon the floor. Lovelace, in the excitement of the moment, followed the example; where- upon, Harmon, leaving his seat, approached Lovelace, and asked Lovelace to sie bim. Lovelace replied, “I'll not strike a man like you;’’ and took up his hat to leave the pre- mises. Harmon went up stairs and loaded his gun, and shortly afterward appeared in the passage, warning his wife to get out of the way, as he was going to shoot. Lovelace, now satisfied that he was the victim, endeavored to seize the gun; but before he could do so, Harmon fired, with the result to which we have above referred. Several witnesses had been summoned, but = did not appear. ‘he justice required the accused to give bail in the sum of five hundred dollars for his appearance at court, and, on his compliance brie the demand, he was released from cus- y- Freaen’s Panape —On Tuesday next, the anniversary of the Northern Liberties fire com- pany, there will be a grand parade of the sever- EVENING STAR.

After the President had resumed the chair, and called the Board to order— ™ A memorial was received from L: Johnson, and referred to the committee on finance. The committee on improvements reported that the financial condition of the corporation would not permit them to report a bill appro- riating one thousand dollars in aid of the church in getting a new bell. ‘he Board then adjourned. Common Council.—The Board met at the usual hour. and the other companies will act as an escort to their last named brethren; proposing to meet in convention, on Thursday night, to make the final arrangements for that purpose. The Northern Liberties will, on Tuesday night next, give their ball, and are determined that the proceedings shall be of such a char- acter as will give general satisfaction. In or- der to guard against improper conduct, ber have, we learn, passed a resolution to punis any cf their members who shall, on the ocza- sion of the parade, bo intoxicated; and will band over to the police any person who may enter their ball room under the influence of strong drink. Tus Younc Men's Literary Association. This new club, holding their meetings each Sunday afternoon at Washington hall, aim, we are told, to improve themselves by spend- ing an hour or two, weekly, together, which they devote to useful reading and to literary improvement. Most of its members, so far. we hear, are identified with the Hebrew church. Their Sabbath, it will be recollected, is on Saturday; and keeping that day as th Christians by whom they are surrounded kee; the following day of the week, it is commend- able on their part thus to seek to improve themselves on Sunday instead of, as in North- ern cities, keeping their places of business open on that day, or dving, as too many (nom- inally) Christian young men do—spending it on ‘* Sunday busts.’’ Petitions were presented by— Mr. Turton, from Frederick Lakemeyer, for the remission of a fine; referred. Mr. Orme, from Margaret King, for the re- mission of a fine; referred. Mr. Clements, from U. Ward, for a paved gutter on the south side of square No. 399; referred.

Also, fvm same committee, a bill paying for the erection of gangways at the polls at the last election; passed. Mr. Walker, from improvements committee, Board of Aldermen’s bill to gravel Seventh street west, between E and F streets south ; Also, an act for repairing Eighth street east, between Pennsylvania avenue and E street south ; both passed. Also, from same committee, Board of Al- dermen’s bili to grade Seventh street cast from G te L streets; passed. Also, from same committee, a bill to rebuild the wall across the culvert on G street; passed. Mr. Fisher, from same committee, a bill au- thorising a pavement on Twelfth street west, between the canal and north C street; passed. Mr. Abert moved that the Board now take arecess for the purpose of going into joint meeting for the election of trustees of public schools; agreed to. The Board then repaired to the Aldermen's chamber, where the juint meeting was held; (see proseedings above.) The business having been completed, the joint meeting dissolved, and the Board of Com- moa Council returned to its chamber — Mr. Peters, from committee of claims, made an adverse report on Board of Aldermen’ bill for the relief of A. Swartze ; which was agreed to, and the bill rejected. Mr. Bayne, from committee on canale, re- ported an act for the management of the Wash- m canal; laid over Ean of Aldermen’s bill directing the com- missioner of the First and Secend Wards to have the gutter on the north side of E street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets taken up and relaid, was passed. Bill from the same Board for I ina Mas- sachusetts avenue, between Twelfih and Thir- teenth streets, and one for repairing Four- teenth street, between Pennsylvania avenue and the bridge over the canal, were referred. The Chair laid before the Board a letter from the Corporation Attorney, in relation to the late decision of the Cireuit Court, on the subject of fines and penalties; which was re- red to Messrs. Lloyd, Abert, and Peters as ject committee. Also, = letter from the Union Benevolent Society asking an appropriation of $500 to en- able it to prosecute its labors, and liquidate the claims of the Society; which was referred. Lavy Lecturers.—A correspondent sug- gests to the lady lecturers, at Carusi’s Saloon, the propriety of a lecture to an auditory of both ladies and gentlemen. The gentlemen of Washin| desire to hear these talented and estimable ladies, and by gratifying this de- sire they will probably remove entirely the groundlees prejudice they have had to encoun- ter, and establish themselves more firmly in the eppreciation of the public. A Farx.—Any person desiring to purchase @ rural residence will find a good opportunity for that purpose by consulting the aivertise- ment of McGuire, auctioneer, who will cell the Burnett farm, situated on the Rockwille turn- pike, andin# pleasant part of the country, with a good road to market. 20 __ Passwors Wituramsox.—A dispatch from Philadelphia, dated yesterday, says: ‘‘ Judge Kane made an order to-day in the Williamson ease, refusing the leave asked for his counsel to present a petition from him, because he is still in contempt, and by petition does not purge himself. But to the end that he may purge himself, the Court also ordered that when said Williamson shall declare, under oath or affirmation, that he is willing to an- swer such interrogatories as may be addressed by the Court, touching matters heretofore in- quired into by habeas corpus, that the mar- shal shall bring him before the judge in court or chambers, to abide the action of thecourt.’’ A Novex Vauvation.—Among the bankrupt stitions pooane granted by the Supreme ‘ourt cf Rhode Island, was the following pe- tition of Nathan L.
