G STAR. ‘LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Youne mgs, KEEP YOUR GUNS AT RALF Cock! uring the hunting season we havo freee accounts of damage to life and limb by the accidental discharge of Percussion guns, and not unfrequently, too, in the hands of those whose experience would seem to be a sufficient ey | I their safety. iy counsel, properly heeded, will cut off the most prolific source of these disas- ters: and it is this: Never carry a loaded gun with the hammer down upon the cap. Almost every i » perhaps every one, wy record, from the accidenta’ discharge of the percussion gun, is attributable to the vio- jation of this important rule, growing, in most instances, out of want of consideration of its Great danger. This danger will once be apparent to any one who will «x ne a per- cussion cap, its elements and use, the action of the common lock, and then the manner in which accidents occur. The fulminating mer- cury in the cap is so exceedingly sensitive that a small force, ee applied, is suffi- cient to explode it. hen the eats ison the esp, if it be drawn back towards the half. cock, but not far enough to catch at half cock, an‘ then allowed to fall suddenly on the cap, it will explode it; and again, a smart blow on and behind the hammer, driving it firmly upon the cap, will produce the same result. In either case the gun will be as effectually discharged as though it had been full cocked and the trigger pulled. To illustrate this, take a few instances of death and injury, some of recent date, in and near this city. A youth, who was hunting in the vicinity, wished to obtain some berries which hung over his head out of reach. Taking his gun by the muzzle, he placed the hammer (then . down upon the cap) over the bough, using it as a hook to draw the fruit towards him. As he drew it down, the resistance of the bough slightly raised the hammer from the cap; the bough sli from its hold, and the young man received the whole charge in his bosom liad the hammer stood at either half or full cock such had not been the result. A lad, hunting on the water, attempted to place his gun (hammer down on the cap) into the boat; as he slipped it along, the hammer was struck behind and towards the cap, by some part of the boat, with sufficient force tu ex ¢ the cap; the gun was discharged and he was killed. Had the hammer stood at either half or full cock this would not have ~ occurred. Not long since we had an account of one who was standing upon a porch, resting his gun near its edge ; it slipped from his hand, and, in its descent, both hammers (which were down upon the caps) were struck against the porch so forcibly a: to discharge the gun; the [onus were lodged in his head. Had this gun been half cocked, he would not have been hurt. Another, standing behind his buggy, un- dertook to place his gun in front, by reaching over the back of the seat; in passing, the hammer, which was down, elk the frent edge cf the seat, discharging the gun. He was not hurt, but his friend, standing near him, bad a hairbreadth escape. Had this in been either half orfull cocked, neither his riend’s life nor his own would have been ii- perilled. Within a few days, one of our most valuable citizens was seriously damaged by the explo- sion of bis gun. Drawing it through a fence, hammer down, the hammer was slightly lifted from the cap by the rail above it, and being suddenly releaséd, exploded the cap, which. of course, discharged the gun. Had his ham- mer been set to either the half or the full cock, he would not have been hurt. Instances need not be multiplied—every community in our land can furnish its propor- tion. They will be found everywhere of the same character, all occurring from this i proper mode of carryirg the hammers. There are many who have always carried them thus under the impression that it is the safer way and it is surprising how extensively this im- pression prevails; to such and all others who wish todo right, this article will be aecep- table. If a gun-lock be perfect, and non? other should ever be used, the hammer, at the half- cock. may, by striking it violently behind, be broken off, but the gun cannot be thus dis charged, or if struck in front sufficiently may be driven to the full cock—or, faili catch there, it will fall again to the half-cock, it can go no further; :f it reach the fuli cock, the trigger must then be used before a div- charge can occur; but in no eveut can a han- mer, at either half or full cock, be made to explicde a cap a applied to the hammer either before or behind; application, in these, cases, must be made to the trigger. Young men! Keep your guns at the halj- cock! full cock them if you will—but if you would avoid injury to yourself or your neigh- bor, t” mo case carry your hammer on the cap —or suffer anybedy, whe s9 carries it, to hunt with you. A Capture !—On Monday nightofficer J F. Wollard, and several members of the Auxil- iary Guard, made a descent on an unlawful assemblage of free colored persons, who were enjoying themselves in what is known as the + Astor house of Cat-tail row ;”> bidding adicu to all care, and not for a moment, probubly, dreaming that “the best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley.”” In vain they sought toesenpe from the agents of the law, and had to surrender them-elves as unwilling prisoners, and without the preliminary of written terms of capitulation. They were dis- sed of in the following manner: Thomas rector, Ellen Hall, and Louisa Hill sent to the work-house, and Sarah Jane Norton and Jno. Johnson each paid a fine and costs, which secured their release from custody. James Hays was required to ‘‘fork over’’ six dollars por 2 forty-iour cents as a punishment for in- dalzing in profanity. Patrick McCarthy, drunk and lying ix the etreets; fine and coats. Court or Crarws.—Yesterday, in the case of H. L. Thistle who claims compensation for taking charge of government timber in Fi»ri- da from the 15th of July to the 1st of Decem- ber, 1845, a motion was made for an order from the court upon the Fourth Auditor of tho ‘Treasury for certain papers; which was grant- In the case of M. G. Emery, who claims compensation for removing marble from the highway and public grounds, (tne petition having bcen amended in accordance with the decision of the court heretofore made in this case,) the court ordered the taking of testimo- by. The argument in the privateer Armstrong case was weaned b: Samuel C. Reid, jr., Esq , who coneluded his remarks, and thecourt adjourned. Tae Kinxwoop Hovse.—This popular es- tablishment has been renovated from top to bottom within the last two months. Its pro prietors are sparing no pains to make it vie with any other hotel in Washington in all its appointments. In their hands, it is noto- riously one of the most comfortable aud agree- able hotels in the country. Though not cal- culated toaccommodate more than one hundred and fifty guests, that number may rely alwaye on being served there in first rate style. As for their table, it is proverbially as recherche as it is possible for a hotel table to be. Their cook is an artist who would bea prize in any public house in America. Accwwesr at THe Rattroapd Sratiox.— Yesterday afternoon Mr. John J Roberts, of Baltimore, met with a serious accident. fe had been dispatched by his employers of that city to this, to a the erection of a steam engine at Treasury building werks; and while assisting in the removal of the boiler from a railroad truck, he incautiously stepped oa a wooden roller, which. moving, caused him to fall tothe ground; breaking his leg. He was at once removed to Mrs. Foy’s hotel, near by, for surgical treatment. hile the young man lay on the settee, he exhibited a wonderful degree of fortitude under the dis- cireumstance, and this was remarked by the sympathizing spectators. Tanowixta Sroxes.—We merely state, fur the information of the juvenile porter of the commun ty, that recently three boys were 2p- |, arraigned before a justice of tue , and figed for throwing etunes—a species amusement for which they paid dearly. ‘a VARteTIES.—There wit what may be called a very fair auditory, in point of num- bors, at this beautiful establishment, last night. The play, “Romeo and Juliet,” was admirably performed, dressed and presented with great taste. .The “Star Naga con- tinue to grow in fayor with the public, who always know howt» appreciate chaste and finished acting. To-night will be performed the moral drama of thrilling interest, entitled +‘ Six Degrees of Crime,” with a jadicious cast of characters ; the entertainments to conclude with the farce of Mr. and Mrs. Peter White. Tne Ban, ov tas Prastpent’s Movxten Guarps, last night, in the magnificent new bly rooms in the Star Buildings, was a dashing and agreeable affair indeed. The room is much Jarger than any other dancing hall in Washington, and so arranged as to show off a brilliant company to the best pus- sible advantage, There was a great display of youth and beauty present, and all enjoyed themselves to their heart’s content. Coke, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street, was the caterer for the night, and dis- charged his duty famously; reminding us of the weyers for such occasions that his prede- cessor, Walker, used to get up. Tne Tairv Cotitios Party or THE FRANK- Lin Tarort Company came off last night at Harmony Hall, where the usual number of beautiful and modest young ladies were pre- sent. Every body there was pleased, and the dancing was very spirited. 4 the course of the evening a utiful wreath—a gift from the young ladies—was duly presented to the company. Captain Alexander Tait, on r- ceiving it, delivered a neat and appropriate address The announcement of the award of the silver torches to the Franklin, which war made in the course of the evening, was re- ceived with applause. Tne Lapies’ Fair, for the benefit of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, opened at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening. A cursory glance convinced one that the fair were re- ceiving more attention than the articles on ealc—the lads and lassies seeming to enjoy themselves finely as they promenaded tie hall te the mirth-inspiring tunes of a band music, or smilingly engaged in tete--t upon the scttees around the room. The c will continue throughout the week, opening at 10 o’clock in the morning, and closing at 10 at night. — Tose Torcnes.—We learn that the Fravk- lin Fire Company were the successful conte ants for the two beautiful silver torches, fered by the Potomac Association as a prize to the fire company selling the largest number of tickets to the Monday evening concert. “Long may they wave.’’ It is understood that the Franklin sold 1,200 tickets, the Union upwards of 700, and the Vigilant 159. Pie Stearers.—Four individuals, named respectively Caleb Bartin, James Diggs, Jos Thomas, and William Moody, were arreste:! recently by officer Wm. D. Boil, and brought to the watch-house, on the charge of asystemati Gusiness in pig catching ; making it profitab: tv them to capture their neighbors’ live por’ and sell it to the buichers. Capt. Birch ¢ m- mitted the prisoners to jail. Loperrs.—Four houseless, friendless per- sons were driven by stress of weather into tat accommodating ‘‘free gratis for noihing’’ es tablishment, the guard-house, last night, fer lodgings. >> A Fact.—New England Ruin bes: - aboutas much resemblance to the glorious ‘-!0 de Vie,” of France, as the adulterated CHE\\ ING TOBACCO oy offered bear to the gen uine VIRGINIA ARTICLE, sold by BiEN- NETT & BEERS, at Richmond.

Well 1s such a tribute deserved ; for never have the shades of the tomb closed ever a life of more spotless purity, or more exalted virtue. We knew her as daughter, wife, and mother, and in ail these relations she wasa near pees as was ever allowed to of human nature. Gentle, affable, kind, and with a disposition which during years of intimacy we have neverscen ruffied, she passed through life, winning the love and esteem cf ull who knew her.
