' } ial —*F - - —— ee ee ee —> EVENING STAR. "LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Tue Board or ALDERuEN.—We continue our report of the proceedings of this board, which were unavoidably crowded out of yes- terday’s Star: Council bills for laying curb-stones on south side of squares 513 523, and north front of squares 482, 514, 525; for and aving alley in 528; and for laying flag foot-way across Indiana avenue at intersec- tion of Fourth street, were referred to im- provements committee; also a joint resolution in relation to the removal of snow from the malls and triangular spaces. A resolution introduced by Mr. Pepper in- structing the committee before Congress to urge the opening of James Creek Canal was adopted. t. Pepper, from improvements committee, reported a bill authorizing curb stones to be set and foot-way paved upen square 685; PP , Mr. Houston reported a bill paying John Agnew for repairs upon Northern Liberties fire engine. Mr. Busey wanted to know by what au- thority this debt had been created. Mr. Dove understood that the fire company had the work done on their own responsi- bility. Mr. Houston thought the faith of the Cor- poration was pledged to pay the bill, inas- much ag ex: of this description incurred by the different fire companies had always been promptly paid bythe Corporation. The assed, bill was > ae the relief of W. Van Reswick was A bill passed. Mr. Busey submitted a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Committee on the Fire Department to inquire into the jiency of rohibiting the fire companies of this city from aving repairs or improvements made to fire apparatus on the credit of this corporation without first having obtained the consent of the cerporation. Mr. Busey, from the police committee, made an adverse report upon the bill for preserva- tion of order in public assemblages. Mr. Emery presented petition of W. Deale; referred Council bill authorising J. P. Pepper to grade and pave alley in square 491 was : Mr. Marks presented a substitute for the bill mpplying deficiencies in the apprepria- tion for the Washington Asylum to the end of the fiscal year. The commissioner's estimate was read, and some debate followed upon the prices paid by the commissioners for provi- sions. Mr. Busey thought the prices bee were too high, and that articles should be purchased for the use of so large an institution by con- tract, instead of paying the highest retail prices Mr. Smith = that the cost of beard for each individual at the Asylum would be found to amount to a very small sum, not more than six dollars per month, including in this the salaries of officers, £c. A question was raised by some member whether this included all the expenses of sal- aries, &e. Mr. Magruder agreed with the gentleman from the Fifth Ward that the prices paid were too high. He called attention to the great increase of expenditure, the excess of which over receipts would, for the year ending June 30, 1856, amounts to $3,500 Un motion of Mr. Marks an additional see- tiun was adopted requiring the Commissioners to invite proposals during the month of May of each year for the supply of articles, and then the bill wae coed, A substitute fer Council bill for paving foot- way in squares 534, 535, 536, was passed The joint resolution in relation tothe removal of snow from pavements running thro the mall and other places was reported back from improvements committee and adopted. 1 motion of Mr. Smith so much of the Mayor’s communication as referred to the Washington Asylum was referred to the Asy- jum committee On motion of Mr. Busey, the Mayor's com- munication was referred to finance committee.

Gilbert, Peugh, and others; and that they be instructed to request that noalteration shall be made in said avenue affecting the lots of the city, (as on its present plan,) previous to a submission of the proposed alteration to the City Councils; passed The Board then proceeded to the considera- tion of the special order, being the bill fixing the annual compensation of the Mayor of the cit; Mr Ball moved mend the bill by strik- ing out ‘‘$2,400” and inserting *‘ $2,000;” disagreed to. The question recurring on the third readin of the bill, the yeas and nays were demande thereon, and, being taken, resulted as follows: Yeas—Messrs, Abert, AtLee, Baldwin, Fisher, Fuller, McCutchen, McKean, Pum- phrey, Turton, Venable, Walker, and the resident —12.

Leon the consideration of which, on mo- tion of Mr. Jefferson, the whole subject was postponed for one week. The Board then adjourned. Untrarian Cuourcu.—We have just called in at the room over Farnham’s bookstore, and find that the highest expectations ef the — lic which shalt attend the fair to be held there are likely to be realised. Whilst the tables are not overloaded, as is often the case, with commonplace articles, those which they have evince a high taste, and are really beauti- fal. Here are uubies, tidies, cushions, clothes for children, laces, jewel cases, toys, &c., &c., without end, and of the richest material. The object of the fair is to pay for some re- airs now needed onthechurch. Thischurch fos now been established here thirty-five years or more. It was founded by some Eng. lish families, who came here to enjoy, the reli- jous and civil freedom of our institutions. hen it was built it often had in its congre- gation such men as Adams, Clay, Calhoun, the Laws, Galeses, &¢. Mr. Robert Little, its first pastor, is remembered now by many of our citizens as a man of strong mind and principles; and since then it has been the means of securing te our citizens the eloquent labors of such men as Mr. Sparks, the Amer- isan historian—Mr. Bulfinch, the poet—and Dr. Dewey, one of the greatest pulpit orators in this country. The community which has enjoyed such services have never before been called on to assist them pecuniarily ; and we have every confidence, that now, when it seems needed. it will manifest a true Chris- tian liberality. The fair opens this evening. Sr. Pavx’s Lurweran Cuurcu Fair was 7 swimmingly last night. This society as the reputation of getting up very attrac- tive and successful fairs, and the present one does not seem likely to be behind its prede- cessors. We think somehow that the ladies at this fair must be more than usually be- witching, for we noticed a good looking, but excessively bashful, auburn-haired apothe- cary friend of ours, and who has been hitherto considered fairly lady proof, so far done for that he stood treat at the supper table to ro less than siz blooming damsels. We could searcely believe our eyes when we saw him seated at the table, gracefully and manfully handing around the ham, cakes, coffee, and chicken fixings. We think Odd Fellows’ Hall, during the fair, may after this be fairly esti- mated az “ enchanted ground.’’ Tae Lone Bripge —The protracted manner in which the thaw has progressed has, thus far, saved the bridge from any casuality. It is believed by those best acquainted with the structure of the bridge, that it could not stand any great pressure from 2 jam of ice without yielding. At the Georgetown chan- nel, where the main danger exists, the water is twenty-seven feet deep ordinarily, and witb a rough, Pay! bottom, which prevents the egies of the bridge from being firmly stayed. We are informed that when the last repairs were made upon the bridge at this channel, the workmen were employed all one day in an ineffectual attempt to stay a single pile, and that to this day, this ne sways with the tide. If this be so, the bridge at this point would stand a poor chance against the drift ice of a freshet, A Nove.ty vor tHe Lapres.—Mr. 8S. P. Hoover, the courteous proprietor of the boot and shoe store in Iron frail, has submitted to our inspection something new in the shape of a ladies’ gaiter boot, which is perfectly water- proof, and cannot rip! It is a patented in- vention, by which soles of an almost im- perishable material are attached to the cloth “uppers,’’ without the use of stitches or pegs. An advertisement in the “‘ Star’’ having an- nounced the fact, crowds have called to ex- amine this admirable novelty, and have put the strength and the capability to resiet water tq strong tests, which have resulted trium- hantly for the invention. Go and see it, adies, and if you afterwards have wet feet, or ripped gaiters, it will not be Mr. Hoover’s fault—nor ours ° . Pouice Inreciieexce.—Capt. Davis made another descent upon a policy establishment onthe south side of E street, between Kley- enth and Twelfth streets, and arrested the keeper of the place, a white man named Joseph Riley, and four colored men found on the premises, named William H_ Butler, John Harris, Jamez H TarnerandJohn H Seibert. Riley was fined fifty dollars and costs and he gave bonds for sppeal to Circuit Court. The others were fined five dollars each and costs, The police deserve much credit for their vigi- lance in rooting out these gambling estab- lishments. Maxe it Uservi.—In going about the streets of Washington the eye at almost every corner rests upon a huge pile of conglomerate snow, mud, street dirt, ice and manure. A practical agriculturist, a gentleman whose es- tate is emphatically a ‘‘ model farm”’ assures us that thee piles of matter now laying about worse than useless, would, if carted away and spread upon land, prove a most valuable ma- nure. Give it atrial, Messrs. Agriculturists. Orge.io’s Occupation Gonm —Very dis- consolate and unappreciated look the poor old sleighs, late so smart, pert, and jaunty, but now rusty and dilapidated, as with drooping arms they stand in this and that out of the way corner of the livery stable yards. Cheer up, old fellows! Every vehicle has its day and yeurs shall come again next winter—possibly even you may bein demand again this season, but we fervently hope not; meantime keep up your spirits with the memory of past joys. Tue Avexaypria Municipat Evectiox.— As anticipated yesterday in the Star, the Know Nothings swept the platterin the muni- cipal election in Alexandria, Va., yesterday, by their usual majority, which is so over- whelming as to render it useless to organize against them in a purely local contest.

Dr. Miles was called to the chair, and at the earnest desire of his numerous friends present, Dr. Beale gave a history of his misfortunes, in which he aequitted his accuser of all blame, and expressed his belief that she was honest in her convictions of his guilt.
