EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tax Pustic ScuooL.s.—Among others of the late school examinations which the pressure upon our columns has prevented us no- ticing hitherto was that of the male depart- ment of the Fourth district (Island) school, under the charge of Mr. John E. Thompson. Mr. Thompson is now the oldest teacner of our district schools, having commenced his su al career some eight years a; At that time the whole number of scholars at- i upon the Island was but thirty- bse ere are — ae fe ae hundred pupils attending the dis and primary schools of that part of the city. ¥ The annual examination of the school under the charge of Mr. Thompson this year was attended vy a large number of visitors, mem- bers of the Board of Trustees, of the City Councils, teachers of other schools, wi:h many ersous of literary and scicntific eminence. The exercises were conducted principally by Messrs Abbot, Richards, AtLoc, and Dickin- son ; and while all the classes exbibited great proficiency, those in mental arithmetic, gram- mar, reading, and upon the Constitution of the United States attracted, unusual notice from the remarkable degree of ease and thorough- ness with which the pupilsin those branches of study acquitted shemselves. At the public school anniversary which closed the examinations, it will be remembered that Mr. S. Y. AtLee, of the Board of Trus tees, in behalf of the pupils of the Fourth dis- trict school, presented Mr. Thompson wits a beautilul set of table spoons. Mr. AtLee, in making the presentation, said that he could testify to the ability with which Mr. Thomp- son had performed his duty as teacher The Fourth district school, he said, had distin- guished itself at successive examinations, and at the last year the scholarship offered by the Faculty of Columbia College to the most meri- torious pupil of the public schools wes award- ed to one of Mr. Thompson’s pupils. Had ilar offer been made at the present examina- tion he had pleasure in saying that the Fourth district school would have borne away the scholarship Mr. AtLee also expressed a wish that the public schools might continue to re- ceive the benefit of Mr. Thompson’s services, and hereafter in a more elevated position. A Present.—Yesterday morning a colored woman walked into the central guard house, bringing with her a basket whicn the guard on duty supposed to be the “‘Sunday clothes”’ belonging to some unfortunate in his care. The woman placed the basket on a bench and ave the guard a note directed to “Wm. H. anning, guard house’ The cloth was re- moved irom the basket, and the guard was astonished by the appearance of a healthy looking white female infant. Upon inquiry ned that it was the same infant we ed last week, snd was sent to the guard Louse t> be taken to the Asylum. A back was obtained and Officer Fanning with the captain of the guard and others, went to the farm to witness its reception. Mr. Queen, the intendant, remarked after reading the commitment, that the child was lucky in baving been sent at the present time. It was placed in the bands of the aged females in the poor house department, and almost immedi- ately became @ pet. All wanted to nurse it, all wanted to caress it, and all expressed con- tempt for the mother. Aunt Betsey, the prin- cipal ot that department, especialiy declared that the mother ought to be “ hung up by the tongue.’ A nurse wasimmediately provided for it, and we are sure it will meet with kind treatment there, and we hope be better pro- vided for in after life. Tox Camsapeake axp Onto Cana has again assumed a cheerful and busy appearance. During the past week squadrons of arrivals have come down, amounting to seventy-four boats in all, bringing chiefly coal, with some wheat and limestone. The coal thus brought will rise to nearly 8,000 tons, approaching $40,000 in value. The representations we have from time to time recently made of the burvoses of the President and Canal Board to hold all the officers and agents of the canal to a rigid responsibilitv, will, we understand, be ~ felly sustained by their acts. Living as they do on the immediate line of the work, they are better enabled than any previous Board to keep its condition and operation under con- stant inspection, and therefore to reduce the periods of breaks, low water, and casualties of every sort toa winimum in point of cost and time. Sach a course, faithfully undertaken and sternly persevered in, will do much to vindicate and justify the expectations formed by the projectors, executors, and friends of this great and almost national work. As a corollary to this notice we a the following shipments of coal from the Swanton Company’s depot in Georgetown forthe week: Schooner Wide Awake 292 tons; schooner A. R. Phaze 333 tons ; schooner Mary Ann Guest 120 tons; schooner J. T. Bertine 296 tons; in all shipped by this company 1,041 tons —Jn- telligencer. Tae PARENT AND tHE CHILD.—During the past month, we have seen young children ar- rested by constables on the oaths of parents, aud taken before magisirates to answer charges that would (if proved) send them to the prisons, and so injure the characters of all that their heads would be gray before they could recover. Warrants have heen demanded and some of the officers, who knew the facts, have refused to act in other cases. It is true we want a house of coriaction for some, but for the sake of the poor offspring of worthless parents let it be a house of protection for them. When we see human beings, able- bodied, and fully competent to educate and instruct their children properly, going to a istrate and insisting on the arreg of their ebild, a girl scarce ten years old, for stealing money, and then failing to prove it, we go for woes the child and correcting the parent. t is not uncommon to hear charges of the kind, but we are glad that some of our magiz- trates know how to dispose of them. Accipents.—On Saturday afternoon a lad: passing the corner of Ninth street ste; upon a melon rind and was thrown upon the pavement, severely injuring her side and shoulders She had strength enough to walk to a hack and go to her home before a crowd collected. At night, a man who was carrying a basket from the market, fell and hurt himself on the side walk, and scattered the contents of his basket on the street. There should be a lew to punish severely those who care so little for the welfare of our citizens as to plece melon rinds on the pavement as traps to injure peo- ple without regard to age or sex. Cavenrt ar Last —Some of our citizens will remember that about twelve months ago the boatmen on the river and canal were very much ey by pilferers, who were slways rowling about the wharves. Mr. Mitchell s ‘ong boat was broken into and a lot of pro- visions were stolen. The thief was seen and pursued, but esca) Saturday night, Officer Cooper was called on to arrest a colored man named Jesse Douglass; and yesterday morn- Jug be was brought out for trial at the guard Louse, and identified as the ssme man who wos seen cuming from the boat at the time of ‘Ke roubing Iie was sent to jail by Justice Stevens. Incenpiary Atrewrt.—Friday night an at- wy was made to fire the stable and shed at w Campbell's depot for building mate- rials, on Seventh streat, near the eanal bridze. Lhe incendiary placed his paper and matches between the weather-boards of the stable and the hay-rack, jast under the horse’s head. ortuvately the matches did not burn well, and the fire was tingui t pees of the place. extinguished by the damp- —_— : has been complaining to the Captein of the Guard and the Chiet of Police 1n relation to Bates’ ley is requested by them to come up and make the complaint in person It will be properly attended to.

Moore was tried on charge of ille- gal voting at the last manicipal election Maury appeared for the United States, Var- den for defence. e Josiah Melvin testified that Moore presented bimself at the second precinct of the Second Ward, and voted there, at the last June elec- tion; his vote was challenged, and he went away and returned with a certificate and voted upon it; Moore was intoxicated, but not so but taat he knew what he was about; the prisoner swore that he was a resident of the Second Ward. Noble D. Larner testified that Moore voted in the first precinct of the Fourth Ward at the last election; he gave his name as David Moore ; witness knew that the prisoner had lived in the Fourth Ward the year previous ; The name of David Moore appeared on the poll list of the Fourth Ward; witness recog- nized the prisoner as 2709 pede who had pre- sented himself and voted at that precinct; Moore was intoxicated, but witness thinks he was capable of knowing what he was about. E. C. Dyer took the stand, and testified that Moore prosented himself at the second pre- cinet of the Second Ward to vote at the June eleetion ; the prisoner swore there that he was an American citizen. Jacob Martin testified that Moore voted at the second precinet of the Fourth Ward (the City Hall precinct) upon a certificate ; Moore took the oath that he was a resident of the Fourth Ward; he was pretty drank, but knew what he was about; he voted in this precinct as ‘‘ David Y. Moore.”* William J. Doncho testified that Moore at tempted to vot» at the second precinct of the Fourth Ward, and was chal lenged by wit- ness; Moore voted at that precinct; when loore came up he threw himself cn his dig- nity ag an Amenican, and resented that bis vote should be challenged. Mrs. McMahan testiued that Moo19 lived on seve street between the Avenue ond D street. . Andrew LaTruite testified that Moore was very drunk on the day of the election; wit- ness had known the prisoner for a long time; in the condition the prisoner was in the avter- noon of the election day, witness believes that any person, in whom tho prisoner had confidence, could have induced him to yote at every precin:t in the city The jury, after a few minues’ absenes, brought in # verdict of guilty. Tue Anacostia Fig Courany were out on parade this morring, and maile a fine appear- ance as they vassed along Pennsylvania ave- Bue, headed oy Prosperi’s band of music, who were preceded by the company’s marshal and one of their members in Indian costume. The Jarge engine, drawn by the members, was beautifully decorated with flags, banners, wreaths, &c , the gallery being occupied by another of their members costumed as an In- dian. The display was very creditable to the jians, and shows that in matters of taste as well as the extinguishing of fires they are au fait. A Descent was made last night, by Watch- men Norwood, Sessford, Ward, and ‘womey, ef the Auxiliary Guard, upon a house on Tenth street, between E and F streets, which has been the cause of complaint in the neigh- borhood for months vast The officers suc- ceeded in capturing eight of the gang, in two small cellars. The condition of the cellars, as described by the guards, is certainly danger- ous tothe health of the neighborhood. The pe were all sent tothe farm by Justice tevens, in default of security and the pay- ment of the fine. Justice Houirnesneap disposed of the fol- lowing cases at his office: Edwatd Hall. col- ored, threats ; security for peace. Same, for profanity ; fine and costs. Mary Sheehan, a young girl, charged with stealing $300 from her aunt who was supposed to be dying at the time ; she was held to bail for a further hear- ing. It appeared that the money was sewed in an old flannel netticoat which the sick wo- man kept under her while lying on the bed. $200 have been recovered.

Groreetown, August 11, 1856. 1n confirmation of our remarks several days since in relation to the management of the af- fairs of the Canal by the present officers, we have seen an official communication from the president, Mr. Maulsby, dated Cumberland, August 5th, assuring the public that all which human agency can efiect, calculated to bring up the reputation of the canal, and restore confidence in its ability to accommodate the trade dependent upon it for transportation to market, will be done. To this eud all the en- orgies of the president and his assistants will be bent towar. carrying out ruch regulations as the directors may from time to time adopt for the promotion of the interests of the canal, and those trading upon it There will be a Methodist camp meetitk held on (sag land of Mr. ee in sig tons county, Va., commencing , August 29. The location selected is fetal les east of the Union meeting house, and contiguous to the Alexandria turopike. We learn from some of the leading men in the church in Fairfax, that this meeting will differ in one very im- portant particular from those usually held in that section, viz: Trafficking of any deporte tion, either on or a to the ground, will be strictly probibit The offerings of beef cattle at Drover’s Rest last week amounted to 200 hoad, 140 of which wee purchased by District butchers at 82.634 $3 25 on the hoof, equal to $5.25a$6.50 net. The remaining 60 head were driv. more. Sheep $1.75a$2 50 per head. During the week ending Saturday morning, 61 boats had arrived by canal; 21 of these were from Cumberland, bringing about 5,600 tons of coal, and the remainder different points with wheat, flour, 4c. The receipts at the Georgetown collector’s office for tolls during the week will amount to about $2,700. Sales on Saturday of 3,000 bushels wheat— white and red at $1.46a$1 50 for good article. The foreign news of this morning will cer- tainly cause a farther decline in prices. The news will have a tendency to depress stiil further and unsettle the flour market.
