EVENING STAR. "LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Cotvmaran CotteGr —We are indebted to the Rev. a Hammitt, financial agent, for a copy of the catalogue of this institution, which is becoming truly national. Of the one hundred and sixteen students, fifty are from this District, and the remainder from eleven States, ranging from Massachusetts to Missis- sippi. The college library contains about five thousand volumes and is specially valua- ble in the department of theology. medi- ate measures will be taken greatly to énlarge it. The library of the Enosinian Soatety con- tains about two thousand volumes, principally in the departments of history and literature. The Philopbr:nian Society has already collect ed funds and is now making large additions to its library of the most recent publications The libraries of Congress and of the various Departments of Government, are valuable auxiliaries to the students The Washington Infirmary, whieh is the clinical department of this college, is admir- ably adapted for the study of diseases and their treatment in its capacious and comfort- ably furnished wards ere the various sur- gical operations are performed by the profes- sor of surge d the results of their after- treatment exhibited to the student. The lec- ture room, museum, laboratory and rooms for the study of practical anatomy, used by the Medical College, are in this building, and will compare favorably with those belonging to ether medical colleges. The officers of the College are : Rev. Joseph Getcheli Binney, D. D., President and Pro- fessor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy ; Wm. Ruggles, LL D., Professor of Mechani- cal Philosophy and Astronomy ; Thomas Mil- Jer. M. D., Dean of the Medical Faculty, and Professor of Anatomy and Physiology; Wm P.

We Bunkumopolitans have not been sufficiently mindful, while grumbling about snow and ice, that our lungs have thereb: been spared the usual dust storms for whieh our wide streets are famous during a dry winter. Perhaps there is not another city in the Union, with the exception of San Francisco, that is co afflicted with clouds of blinding dust. In this connection we call attention to th? memorial introduced in the Senate by Mr. Hamlin, from the agents of the New York Iron Pavement Company, asking an appro- riation for paving Pennsylvania avenue. Memorialists say ‘‘that iron pavements suited for use, with or without rails, for horse ears to run upon in streets, combine cheap- ness, durability, eafety to horses against slipping, smoothness for carriages to pass up- on, freedom from the usual noize occasioned by the rattle of vehicles upon stone pave- ment, and a complete protection against mud in wet seasons and dustin dry seasons. They say the same may be adopted upon the avenue, making it the most perfect and beautiful street in the world, and well meriting the national pride ’’ This iron pavement has been tried in Boston and New York, and is said to work well. When the big Aqueduct is completed, we shall have wherewithal to lay the dust, but as that mil- iennial period may be somewhat distant, sup- pose we meantime try the iron pavement. Svrcrwe.—About one o'clock yesterday af- ternoon the attention of the proprietor of Dexter's Hotel was called to the case of a man who bad come to the house the night be- fore, and who was now discovered to be in bed in adying condition. Medical assistance i Ned in, and it was discovered was laboring under the influ- enee of some poison, and on search being made atwo ounce laudanum bottle was found by his bedside. Medical skill was of no avail; he soon expired. He registered his name as John McCarran, and stated the day before his death that he was just outof the Infirmary The deceased is said to have been connected for- merly with the Georgia Railroad and with the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad—was a middle aged man of good appearance. He apparently committed suicide under the in- fluence of liquor, though there appeared no evidence of menta-a-potu. Unitarian Paiz.—The fair recently opened by the jadies connected with the Unitarian pe Ben in this city, in the room over Farn- ham’s bookstore, is still progressing, but will, we believe. be closed on Saturday night. This enterprize deserves to be encouraged by our citizens generally, and the beautiful articles offered sould demand ready and profitable sale. Good things, too, are abundant; and in this department, being perfectly at home, we ean venture upon 2 hearty recommendation. We wish that none would be content with our word for it, but would go and judge for them- selves Tux Moox.—An astute cotemporary informs the public that, this morning, March 7, at thirteen minutes before two o’clock, there was anew moon, and at half-past six o’clock the moon was in her perigee. What effect the proximity of cur satellite toits primary at this conjunction may have on the weather we are unable to predict. Spring tides in the higher latitudes end a considerable disturbance of the elements in tropical regions will be the most probable consequence. The influence of these disturbances will be perceived in some degree in the temperate zones. Tac Lauxen of the steam-dredging ma- chine came off at the foot of Thirteenth street, canal wharf, a little past the hour advertised. Aftera slight hitch or two on the ways, the “machine” slid ‘majestically’ —as Mercury would say—into the astonished waters of the canal, and after a graceful dive, in which she got ber nose muddied a few, she came right side up with care, amid the hurrabe of the bystanders. The wachine is a strong built, owerful looking affair, and is neturally ceuad to seatter the mud some. Me Deupster’s Concert on Monday even- ing ic a prominent theme of conversation, and we feel confident that it will be graced b the elite of the metropolis. The “ Scote' bailads’’ are the most popular of the gifted vYooalists varied performances, and it is ra that we can hear the touching melodies of Nature’s poet sang with that true feoling with which Mr. Dempster adorns them. Those wishing good seats will do well to go early. A Meworiar was presented in the Senate, yesterday, by Mr. Brown, from & committee of the Corporation of Georgetown, asking that the Long Bridge. over the Potomac, may be removed, and sy ae constructed across the harbor at that town, in which they set forth that the commerce and general pros- —~ ef their town have been most seriously ajared and retarded for the last fifty years by the erection of said bridge. Gas Moyorottzs.—We see that the New Yorkers are stirring up the monopoly ‘‘ Man- hattan Gas Company’ for a statement of the smount of their original stock, present capi- tal, actual value of real and personal estate the annual profits for the last five ears, an the amount of dividends declared. Good ! We go in for free trade in gas. By the way, what has become of the “ District Mutual Gas Light Company?’’ Hasn't « gin eout,”’ hag it? Tae Essirt House was, last eveni the scene of a delightful “hop,” in which the fashionable and distinguished guests, with a large number of invited friends, participated, These parties at our first-class hotels are the most agreeable re-unions of the beauty and fashion now gracing the metropolis.

Lance Crowns nightly attend the Ladies’ Fair at Odd Fellows’ Hall. and the time is pleasantly paseed. The vocal and instrumen- .tal music, last evening, added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. The Amphions sip; Sonteh, and an additional number of belles will be attendance. Who'll go to see? Tax Weartuer, yesterday, was pate but agreeable, as the wind filled the air wit! clouds of dust. March has certainly “come in like s lion;”’ it remains to be seen whether it will “ go out like a lamb.” Tue Reception at the White House this evening will doubtless be fashionably and numerously attended, as the few which are to follow will be given at intervals of a fort- night. Taz Criuinat Court is occupied to-day with the Edwards case. The evidence for the defence is nearly through. Warcn Returns.—Henry Costilla, drunk and disorderly; sent down for thirty days.

The Platte Valley Railroad route to the Pacific, in latitude 41, is just reported on by an engineer. The proposed termini are Council Bluff, on the Missouri, and Fort Read- ing, on the Sacramento ; distance 1800 miles, water plenty, wood ditto, about 1000 miles easy graded, and the balance more expensive. The cost estimate is, $140,000.000. KP Last Friday some of the “ boys’’ of Logan, Ohio, discovered an individual en- gaged in beating his wite. Accordingly they proceeded to his residence, brought him forth, and conveyed him, astride a pole, tothe upper part of the town, where the recent thaw had collected a large body of water, and,§without the usual ceremony upon such solemn occa- sions, gave him a complete immersion. Appropriate Text.—The Hampshire Ga- sette says that on Sunday morning the wife of Rey C N. Seymour of Whately, Mass., gave birth to a son and a daughter, and that a few hours thereafter the reverend gentle- men edified his congregation by preaching from the text— Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not.’’ Jewise —The Israelites of Hartford have bought the meeting-house formerly occupied by the North Baptist Church, with the $5,000 given by the late Judah Touro, and have fitted up the edifice, and named it in honor of their benefactor “ Touro Hall,” thus con- verting a Christian temple into a Jewish syn- agogue. Suear.—A letter daged at Havana, on the 16th ult., says: “It is of some consequence for your folks to know that we are to have a small crop of sugar this year. We will not be able to press near all the ggne, or boil the juice, for want of fuel—the weather being unfavorable for drying the ‘ bagassce’ for so large @ portion of the most important period of our rolling. Molasses will not be measur- ably affected.’’ PouiticaL Tippuinc.—During the Know Nothing Convention at Philadelphia there was of course great rivalry between the friends of Fillmore and Law.

Rapnagy’s Great Parron.—It is related that Pope Julian Second was having the rooms of the Vatican adorned by the most renowned vnd able artists of the age, when Bramante, the architect and superintendent, introduced young Raphael, then gt the age of seventeen, just to try his art inone of the rooms. The old painters sneeringly mocked and ridiculed the inexperienced boy. He, however, heeded not, but sketched his School of Athens, Poe- try, Justice. ang Theology. The Pope had no sooner seen this $ret picture, even while it was yet unfinished, than he ordered all to be erased that had been done by others, and the boy Raphael to paint alon Verpat PoLisHing —We take the following from a report of G. 8.

A gentleman ordered a rocking chair, which was received by his wife, @ lady very precise in her speech, when sent to her residence. Upon mgkin; trigl of the chair, the gentleman expressed his great sat- isfaction with it, when his wife remarked, “The man said ita equilibrium was accp.
