Sheep—twen-five, sixteen cent! ’ ** How does it act?’ inquired a housewife, a mtly deeply interested in the article. “*TIn de first plaze, dis part of de masheen vas lift up, placed undare je oder arrang ment; de fromage on de hook. Monsieur fond theese—clip go de trap.’’ The action suited to the word. The idler would then laugh, with self-satisfaction, at the success of his experiment. Occasionally he sold a trap, and this en- him, with an air of politeness char- acteristic of his countrymen, to prosecute hi. at ver G STAR,| Hor omasmmaer r Gzonestows, Nov 3, 1855 As some persons in the District have had some misgivings about the legality of the issue by our Corporation of five, six, and seven dol- lar notes, we would inform all such that the commissioners of the sinking fund have ot- tained the opinion ef three able jurists, viz : Messrs.

The assemblage was large. J. H. Mc We judge that if the question should now be | generally asked, ‘‘ How are you off for traps?” the response would be, “ Very well supplied.”’ A sorry night, indeed, it would be for that Ss if he should, by chance, take up his lodging in a stable loft. The rats, if they should possibly hear of his zeal in supplying the citizens with contrivances for their exter- mination—‘ dead sure’’—would torment him as their predecessors did Prince Hatto, in the Rat-tower, on the Rhine. In responee to a question which we asked of be Frenchman, he positively assured us that ‘de trap will catch @ mice and kill him too!”” Manrisces 1x Caurcn.—Of late years, it | bas become prsareegg celebrate the mar- riage rite in churches. is is a good custom, as all the friends of the parties thus have an opportunity of witnessing the solemn services ; and young folks are thereby enabled to seo exactly, when their time comes, what they will have to undergo.

Why don’t the men ‘he colored popelation have, it appears, adopted the fashion of the white folks; and, agoordingly resort to their churches for the consummation of the banns. The last case of this kind was at the Asbury Methodist Church on Thursday evening. The house was crowded throughout, but few white relieving the ap- arance of the dense masses of colored faces. he Rev. Eli Nugent, a much respected local minister, tied the knot, and the happy couple received the ardent congratulations of their friends. We have not heard whether they started on a wedding tour. Cotvwara Cortece —The Maryland Union Baptist Association, now is session in Balti- more, we have already stated have had the rt of the committee relative to Columbia lege in this city, before them; and now have tostate that it has been adopted. It re- commends an additional endowment of $S0,- 000, which will make the whole endowment $100,000. The institution is reported as in a flourishing condition, and with the necessary pecuniary assistance will afford tho means of giving == education to many young men wW 0 contemplate engaging in the minis- try. The mectings of the Association have | been of a harmonious character, and aspirit of ebristian fellowship hae characterized all the discussions. Pressyrery Megtixa —A friend informs us that on Thureday evening last, the Presby- tery of the District of Columbia met in the First Constitutional Church, Baltimore, for the purpose of installing as pastor the Rev.

The highest encomiums have been on this laiy’s correct impersonation of the ‘‘ Reckless Youth,”’ and it is said that the play conveys the moral of a warning example of the dread effects of crime. Barsgcve —It will be seen, by reference to an advertisement in this afternoon's Star, that there is to be a Union Association barbe- cue at Colesville, Maryland, on Monday; for whichextens rangements have been made.

Seriovs Mistaxe —Early on Friday morn- ing, Mr. Robert Waters, one of the guards at the jail, took poison in mistake for medicine; the two being in proximity. The services of a physician were procured, and the deleterious drug removed from his stomach. Although his condition was yesterday considered criti- cal, we were glad to learn, this morning, that hie symptoms of recovery are favorable.

Ryerss a Weis the’ proprietor of the omnibus line in the City, very kindly gent out three dmnibuses to convey them to these places They were in high glee with the ride and the things they saw.—Hschmond Despatch. Veigh, esq., presided. B. H. Berry opened | the discussion in a half hour’s advocacy of the lan. He was in favor of the Alexandria and Washington road as an original proposition ; | but the question was not now whether we would | have a road; the road was built, and why | should we not take advantage of the traveling | facilities afforded by it. ith narrow con- tracted views the people of Virginia had no | sympathy, and how could the people of Alex. ‘ andria ask aid for railroads to bring people into the city, when they themselves threw ob- | stacles in the way of travel. | Mr. T. T. Hill followed, taking the same views. . Mr. W. L. Penn opposed the admission. The read came in on a graded street that cost the city seven thousand dollars. It was not too late for tho sovereign people of Alexandria to refuse the admission. The road was al- ready too far, and unless next Monday the | people decided to admit them, he would take up the road himself—he had no axe to grind. Mr. W. D. Massey responded. He believed that no one there had an axe to grind in this matter The people meet to consider this sub- ject calmly. and differing opinions might be entertained honestly. is road formed one of the strongest arguments before the Congress committee, in favor of continuing the Long bridge. Alexandria could not dam up the stream of travel—it was madness to try it. Mr. L. McKentie merely wished to state the position of matters in reference to this company. He believed that the charter had not 4 carried out in faith. There was no company concerned init. The whole road was mortgaged, and we should soon see the affair bought out by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. He wished the matter delayed tiil Congress should make some deci- sion in regard to a permanent structure at the Long Bridge. Ho was in favor of a railroad to Washington—a particular scheme—but it was not one that would spoil the turnpike. Mr. C. E. Stuart wanted to ask one ques- tion: Did not the Loudoun and Hampshire branch propose to spoil the turnpike beyond | the Four Mile Run, and‘use the berme bank ‘of the canal on this side of it? He was no friend to the managers of the railroads in this section, but he would cheerfully vote to ad- mit this road. Mr. French said that Mr. McKenzie had | surprised him many times before, but he had heen more than surprised to hear the remarks | that fell from him that evening. He (Mr. F.) | was a Virginian born and bred, and the honor of the Commonwealth was as dear to him as life. He knew that the road was constructed according to the provisionsof thecharter His | life had been devoted to railroads, and all he had in the world was staked in this enterprise. As to the road being sold, it was a chimera. The Baltimoré and Obie Railroad Company Were its warmest opposers, and even now had an opposing schemo. Mr. Penu here rose, the and left the hail. people did likewise, Axi. Exvsctioxs to nt Herp Next Weex.—The following elections will take place next week.
