This is all witness knows of the affair.

It appears that one of the little girls attached to the Asylum had gone into the yard to break a branch from a tree, when some one cried ‘‘ there is a man getting over the wall The child, of course, became frightened and started an alarm, which awoke the children that had retired, and for a while the greatest excitement prevailed. moments, however, it was acertained that the excitement was caused b trying to frighten the other. is simply made on account of a number of er- roneous reports being circulated. one of the girls, in This statement Tue Festivat.—The number present at the Fair at the new church near ‘the Glebe” farm, in Alexandria county, Va., last night, Was greater than on the previous evening.

Tae Siop-Tuss.—We have been asked by several persons in the Second Ward what is to be dove by house-keepers when the “slop man”’ fails to come to their houses for two or three days afterthe appointed time. This is rather a hard question to answer. If they throw any filthy water or filth of any pat tion into the streets or alleys they are liable to afine, If, by any other means, the filth is disposed of, and a nuisance is created, it is a offence. We presume his honor, the Mayor, or the health commissioner, might suggest a plan, if the subject were mentioned to either of them. A Parntina.—An admirable portrait of a well known fellow-citizen may now be seen at the jewelry store of Galt & Bro., where it will remain during the week.
