ING STAR. EVEN Loox to rour Garnens '—Ouar fellow citi- zens who have gardens, or plats of d ten feet square in their yards unoccupied, should begin as soon as possible to make I gh baer to set out flowers, vegetables and fruits. piece of ground thirty feet square cultivated closely with the spade, will produce almost as many vegetables in a succession of crops, as will suffice, amply suffice a family of five or rsons. Two, or at most three hours labor in it per diem, during the season, wil! raise and securethem. The sweepings of the streets, such as can be gathored almost anywhere in a wheelbarrow, will answer for most of the ma- terial necessary to enrich the ground. No one can fail to be healthier for the labar of reparing and cultivating such a garden. Troy female in a family and every child over eight years of age can help in it to great advantage. Dwarf fruits (which properly set out and cultivated will commence to bear the second summer, will bear quite a supply fora family the third summer, and very profusely the fourth) may be purchased at from 373 to 50 cents per tree, and planted every ten fect each way. They will not interfere with the spade culture of vegetables and flowers among grow the finest specimens of vegetables in such an orchard, Such trees can be purchased (and relied on) from and around them.

Tas District 1x Concress.—In the Senate ——e of yesterday, the following of cal interest occurred - On the Deficiency bill, the item of $300,009 for continuing the works on the aqueduct was one of the amendments reported. Mr. Hunter stated that it was placed in this bill because it was the appropriate time for the work, when labor was plenty going on wit and the shores of the Potomac healthful. Mr. Clay demanded the yeas and nays and the amendment was agreed to by following vote Yeas—Messrs.

The com- bination of the powerful organ under the mas- terly execution of the distinguished organist and conductor, Mr. William Henry Palmer, with a full, select orchestra, and the mag- nificent vojces of the choir, will impart to the solemn services an unusual degree of interest; swe have accidentally learned that the mass to be performed on the oceasion will be that of Hummell, in E flzt, to be preceded by an instrumental execution selected from Rossini. Daring the service the congregation will be edified by “the grand Halle ujah chorus from Beethovea’s ount of Olives;’’ ‘“* The Tayer,’’ from Mose in Exsitto; the splendid ‘prano solo of ‘‘ Alma Virgo,”? by Hum- mell; and the services will be completed by the production of Handell’s “* Hallelujah,” from the “ Measiah.”’ But what a pity it is the church is not four times its si for with iS present overcrowded congregation, what ope can there be of the attendance of many extra worshippers? Tes Vatve or s iaii aie THE STAR, as an advertising ne#um, has been made annoyingly manifest to one of our most prominent citizens within the po few days. A domestic, temporarily employed at his house, wished a permanent Place, and accordingly advertised, giving (without any authority) his name and ad- dreas. This endorsement, added to an at- tractive description of capabilities, drew to the house a perfect legion of servant-seekers. The gentleman's susthonsy was literally be- seiged—the whole time of the domestic in question was occupied in answering queries— and we have secured, (though we Tegret the ennoyance it caused him.) another eminent Witness of the unrivalled excellence of the Star eg an advertising medium. i Covat or Craiws.—Y. sterday, the taking ci testimony was ordered in the case of Mary Williams vs The United States Se argument on the facts in the case of Israel Swaia vs. The United States was next called up by the court.

The following trustees were present~ Messrs. Davis, Wheeler, Bennett, Polk, ened, Dickson and McKim The examination was conducted by the accomplished Secretary of the Board, Mr. George J. Abbott. The semi- circular tier of Aldermanic chairs wag very —— filled by the blooming candidates r schoolma’amship, and we fancied the grim portraits which adorn the wallsof the room chuckling, and leering visibly in consequence of the agreeable treat afforded them in this array of youth and beauty, after the rather dry time of it, they have had for so many years. The candidates, with two exceptions, were ladies, all young, and we imagine the trustees will hardly get @hem in train for teaching before they will kick out of the traces, and place themselves in the matrimonial har- ness. The trustees should make the young women sign an mt not to marry under & certain number of years so that the labor of Preparing them for teachership may not be altogether Jost. In commencing the examination, a printed slip was handed to each teacher, on which the following questions were marked, and a written reply asked from each : Please write your name in fuil, place of birth, and present residence. 4 Write the name of any person to whom yoht’ can refer for testimony concerning your chax- acter, abilities, or experience as a teacher. State where you were educated principally, and what experience you have in hamakita What, in your opinion, are the most im- portant qualifications for a teacher? What is the proper object of government in a school? The other questions proposed were from the list used gt the examination of the select class of pupils of the Public Schools at the Smith- sonian Institute in July last. At the conclusion of the exercises the writ- ten anwers were taken charge of by the com mittee, who will examine them and report. Those examined for the teachership were : Miss M. EB. Simonds, Miss R. St. Johns, Miss M. J. Moore, Miss M. Crawford, Miss C. Ritchie, Mr. M. J. Kaldenbach, and Mr. R. B. Dietrick. AProINTMENTS OF THE METHODIST PRoTES- tant ConrERENCE —The Methodist Protestant Conference <— arned its session at Salisbury, Md., on Tuesday night, at 11 p.m. The fol- lowing are the appointments for this vicinity: Washington, Ninth street—Peter Light W il- ron; East Washington Mission, (Navy Yard,)— J.

A Rare Caaxce.—Why does not some en- terprising man buy from Mr. Boynton, now at the National Hotel, the right for the Dis- trict of Columbia of “Tower's patent spring- heel and detached cork horse shoe,’ which is a great thing in its way? Much money may evidently be made out of it, for it is a capital invention, and must at once come rapidly into general use. We will cheerfully give any one information on the subject, having taken ocoasion to inform ourself upon it. Tue Everett Oration —We learn that at the meeting held at the Smithsonian Institu- tion on Tuesday afternoon to make the ar- rangements for Mr. Everett’s oration on the character of Washington, 2 committes was appointed to correspond with Mr. Everett and arrange the preliminaries. The oration will probably be delivered at the Smithsonian Inatitution about the 26th or 27th inst. The price of admiasion, whether twenty-five or fifty cents, has not been de- cided yet, we believe. Mastic, & comparatively novel material for covering the exterior of buildings, is now generally used. It not only adds to the beau- ty, but to the durability of the edifices on which itis placed, and ia economical in the end. We have in our columns to-day the ad- vertisementof Mr Tierney, who is thoroughly acquainted with the application of mastic, as can be seen by looking at some of the finest private edifices in tho city, to the owners of which he can refer.

This is not a little cheering af- ter an incessant siege by old winter of nearly three months. The general and almost en- tire suspension of business in the heavier ar- ticles of trade has not, however, we hope, been altogether without its good results. It has afforded our heavy wholesale dealers and millers and opportunity to make all the neces- sary preparations for the accommodation of the spring trade, which will, doubtless, be unusually heavy. West of us there must be in the hands of the farmers and speculators large quantities of grain and other produce, which has been prevented from reaching mar- ket before in consequence of navigation upon the canal being closed by ice at so early a pe- riod, and from other causes. All this will doubtless be seeking a market as soon as the Spring fairly opens; and as our city is the nearest and must natural outlet for it, we may reasonably expect that our millers and heavy dealers generally will reap during the present business se: x — ason a harvest of no small — Carrurne.—Deput: U. 8. - [nae of New You as ae mgreeey os lack schooner,” called the Palmoutl, and had her towed ovor to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, on suspicion of being a slaver.
