Ager & McLain, onthecanal, near Thirteenth street, which resulted in the death of a sprightly boynamed Samuel Cunningham, aged about sixteen years, and who was a son of the foreman of the mill In passing one of the machines, the shirt sleeve of the boy caught in a band, drawing the boy into the machine in such a manner that his arm, to the shoulder, was chopped up literally like sausage meat, and soclosely was he entargled that it was found necessary to ungear toe machine to release him. The un- fortunate boy was immediately taken to the infirmary and Dr. Miller called in, who ren- dered every possible assistance, but in vain, and the sufferer, after lingering some hours in a state of semi-torpidity through the shock to his nervous system, expired about 11 0’clock p.m. In addition te the injury to the arm, we hear that one of the bones of the shoulder was found to be broken.

The market was crowded this morning. On the avenue, west of Tenth street, the line of country wagons and carte began, and extended below Seventh street. Purchasers were numerous and lively, and dealers busy. Tez Suirusonias Grouxps —During th warm weather the old lodgers in the markets and lumber yards have taken to the more cocl and pleasant grass beds around the Smithso- ni«n [nstitution. The residents on the Island frequently pass through the grounds to and from their homes, and they are sometimes at- tracted by ——e quarrels about the right to the best beds. Complaints of the conduct of the vagrants have been made to the officers. ‘They are hard to catch; but the officers have succeeded in finding a home and plenty of work for a few, and expect to drive out the entire party. Jos. S. Worrarsetom, Esq , was arrested yesterday by T. F. King, county constable, on @ warrant issued by Justice Thompson, on information given by the District Attorney, indicating that a duel was intended between that geotleman and another, who is said to be connected with the Spanish Legation. The case was taken before Justice Goddard, and Mr Worthington gave security in the sum of $2000 that the law should not be violated by him. Col. Naylor and E. J. Middleton, Esq-, are his securities. Dayxcrrocs Sport—For some even'ngs past, crowds of small boys, black and white, have asse:ubled at various points on the Ave- nue to fight stone battles, raising various ral- lying cries. Last evening a young man was struck on the head with a brick. on the Ave- nue, near 6th street. Those battles are of re- cent occurrence, and will be stopped at once by the Police. The law against throwing stones in the streets imposes a fine of not less than one dollar for every such offence, and it will be strictly enforced. Dont roncrt that the Montgomery Guards’ excursion comes off on Monday next Espu- ta’s renowned band officiates upon the occa- sion, and in the other departments equal effi- ciency has been secured. When we state that the catering will be in the hands of our friend Reynolds, of the Eldorado House, we believe we are safe in saying that the wants of the i 1! be supplied in a manner to en sure satisfaction. Excursioy or St. Pergr’s Susvay Scnoo. Very great inducements are held out to ex- cursionists by the trip to Pye’s Landing on the Powhuiaa, to be made on Thursday next, by the teachers of the above named Sunday School. A delightful stopping place has been selected, and the Managers have, we learn, taken unusual pains to render the excursion pleasurable in every particular. Manet Tatzves.—This morning a number of ema!! children were seen under the benches in the Centre market, robbing baskets of fruit, poultry, &c; one of them waa caught, and taken to the guard house, but bis being only eight or ten years of }, and no proper place to send bim, he was dismissed on his promise to bebave himself, and never be caught in a similar scrape again. AN AGREEABLE CHANGE is afforded in the weather to-day through the cloud drapery in- terposed between the burning August sun and the lower world. Collapsed vegetation of all kinds shows a disposition to spread itself again upon the invitation of the late refreshing rains, and we presume the welcome moisture did not come too late to afford material as- sistance to the crepe in this region.

We heard of the thermometer being upto 99 deg, but was so unfortunate as not to see it. The season has been remark able for hot Sundays It is, however, a source of congratulation, that our neighboring cities have hotter weather than we do.’’ ew POLITICAL ITEMS. We observe in the Columbus Sun a docu- ment singed by sixty Know Nothings—who declare that they will support Buchanan. The Bible Times, a religious publication is- sued in Baltimore by the Rev.

Ming A committee was ap pointed to inform Mr Buchanan of the har- mecnious action of the two branches of the party. The following answer was received : Mr. Buchanan has received the resolution of the Consolidated Convention of the New York Democracy. Their union at this event- ful crisis is one of the grandest events in our history. Our car will now weather the storm of fanaticism, and the Union must and shall be preserved. The whole southern country will hail this reunion as a rainbowin the clouds, promising a union of peace and har- mony ‘lite prevailed in the good old time among the sister States.

Marvetvovs Cures.—We have always been slow to believe the wonderful cures which one medicine after another pretends to have made,—but slow as we are we will own up, when we are fairly convinced. Those of our readers who are acquainted with the eases of Mrs. Beach and Mr. Farwell, will not think us lightly turned, when we confess our belief that Ayer’s Cathartic Pills have virtues for purifying the blood which excel anything within the range of our acquaintance hither- to.
