Isquest.—Mr. Jacob Smith, a street paver, when on his way home with a wheelbarrow load of tools, fell dead yesterday afternoon Eighth street, near M. Mr. Smith resided on Fifth street, between NandO He leaves a wife and several children; hia wife is absent in New Jersey at thistime An inquest was held, end the verdict was that disease of the Beart was the cause of death. Tae Compantes —In a recent commu- nication of the Mayor of Washington to th City Councils, he invites their attention to the statement of the Board of Trustees of the Public Schools in relation to the sehool-room in the Northern Liberties engine house—it appearing that “the room is used as a slee ing place for persons who do not wake up early enough to let the school in at the proper hour,” and that “the room in the second story was appropri for the school by the late Mayor, and the room in the third story desig- nated as the meeting hall of the firecompany, and that this arrangement was at the time satisfactory to all parties, but that since then, indeed, during tho holidays, the fire company has removed the furniture of the school and taken ion of — school room, either forcibly or surreptitiously. The Mayor concludes with the following re- marks : “The habit of meeting nightly in the engine- houses and of sleeping in them is full of de- moralizing tendencies as well as a prolific source of false alarms of fire, and even of in- cengiarism, and ought by all means to be broken up. The powers of the Mayor have been exerted to accomplish this object, but are too limited with the present police force to keep such order as will insure the preserva- tion of the public peace and the maintenance of the supremacy of the laws. Jealousies have sprung up among some of the companies which lead to rioting and violence in almost every instance they are called out, and these difficulties will increase unless promptly sup pressed. It is, then, highly proper, as well as necessary, that the responsibility be met at once by those whose duty it is to see that the laws are observed and that the public peace is maintained as well as good order estaolished and upheld. “Fire companies are established for the ou: of engendering a feeling of security in the public mind as well as for the purpose of preventing the spread of fire, when it has, either by accident or design, been communi- cated to buildings, and they cease to accom- plish either object efficiently when, instead of emulating each other in a commendable zoal and promptness in repairing to the proper seenes for their operations, they meet fegelner for the purpose of trying who can throw most stones and show the most utter recklessness of law and decency In other cities the powers of districting and closing have been given to the Mayor, and its judicious use has proven beneficial If it should be tried and fail here it will then become our duty to look for other and more potent means of obtaining efficiency and harmony in our fire department. _ “I have been thus earnest because I am induced to belicve, from my own observation, that unless some change be mado in the pres- ent system its demoralizing influences will re- sult in more injury to the class of youth who hang around fire-engines ond engine-houses than will be compensated by all the good the fire companies can ever do.”” Tre Excursion of the Light Infantry to Old Point, Portsmouth, Norfolk, &c , offers a fine opportunity for those of our citizens who desire a trip to the salt-water region. The party will leave Washington on Friday after- noon, at 2 o’clock, in the steamer Powhatan, and reach Old Point by 80’clock on Saturday morning, thence to Portsmouth and Norfolk; returning, they will leave Portsmouth on Sunday morning for Old Point, and remain there until 12 o’clock m., departing at that hour for Washington, where they will arrive on Monday ning about 6 o’cloek,—thus giving excursionists time to be present at the gracd reception of the Infantry by the mili- tary of Portsmouth, to visit the Navy Yard, big ship Pennsylvania, Norfolk, the Marine Hospital, &c., &c ; and a day-light view of the Chesapeake Bay, on the return trip. Nationat Tueatre.—tThe play of ‘Dreams of Delusion”? went off admirably last night. Miss Laura Keene was as usual charmingly accurate in her delineation of the fine part of Lady Harleigh, and Mr George Jordan per- formed the part of Sir Bernard Harleigh in a manner evineing careful study Mr. Dickin- son also acquitted himself handsomely as Dr. Pungent. The following piece, ‘ Two Can Play st that Game,’’ went off with spirit, as did the con- eluding one of ‘‘ Novelty.’’ To-night, ‘Tho Marble Heart’’ and ‘Novelty’ will be pre- sented Women 1x Men’s Croraes —A great buzz was created on Twelfth street to day by the appearance of two young women in men’s clothes, who hed been arrested on the street and were taken to Justice Clark’s office. They said they were from Philadelphia, and gave their names as Charles L. Moore and Charles Walters. One of them concealed her faze whilo at the office, as if with some sense of shame; but the other was quite talkative, and seomed rather to gloryin her position. They wore committed to jail for further examination. Farau Accipext—Thomas Connaught, a waiter, recently discharged from the National Hotel, where he had been employed during the late busy season, fell from an upper window of Shadd’s boarding house on Third street near the Avenuc, about half-pas: two o'clock this morning, and died a few minutes after he was taken up. It was thoucht that the deceased had been drinking previous to going in his room A Sorry Purry.—The Organ, disgusted with the turn politics are taking. is devoting its columns te original ‘‘ dog stories,’’ and on the principle, we suppose, that a ‘a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind,’’ expresses much sympathy and tenderness for the abused canine race.

Tae Lise Suir, entered by Marshal Hoover against Mr. Joseph Shillington, came up on postponement, heforo Justice Goddard, this morning. The defendant was present, pre- ared for trial, and Mr. Davidge appeared for the prozecution; but there being no wit- nesses present, the case was dismissed.

Eliza Lomax, Mary Lomax, and John Thomas, disturbing the peace; security fur peace. These cases were disposed of by Justice Hollingshead. Warca Returns —This morning there were no cases for trial; the cells were occupied by unfortunates permitted to lodge in them. Latz Conrsssion or Murper —The case of John Lawler, the United States soldier, who, it will be recollected, has been in the New York City Prison several weeks upon his own confession of having murdered a young girl in Ireland many years ago, was disposed e° Monday. The unfortunate man, who stated that his mind was affected by the al leged tragedy, and that he could rest neither day or night in consequence of his visions, has been examined by two physicians and pro- nounced insane. Ile was, therefore, ccom- mitted to the Lunatic Asylum at Blackwell’s Island. In regard to the alleged crime, a letter has been addressed to some parties in freland for information, but no answer has et been received. Lawler, however, should © recover his senses, will be detained until an investigation can be had, which will throw more light upon the affair. ta The Toledo Commercial has a friend whose acquaintances call him Solomon, partly because Solomon was a very good man, and partly because his name was Solomon. “ Yer see,’’ said the gallant Solomon, ‘I was cut in the woods one day, and I stepped on some- thing which rattled!’ I looked down and saw my foot was on a tremenjious big rattle snake And,’’ said Mr. Solomon, in a bold voice, “if yer ever 8€6@ scared critter, twas that ere rattle snake !”” eopr-— INHALATION IN DISEASES oF THE LUNGS.

First, its ex- treme simplicity of construction and management render repairs almost unnecessary Secondly, the facility with which it may be cl from @ wood to a coal burner. lastly, the perfect manner in which it performs {ts duties. The peculiar arrangements of its flues, keeping an even temperature around the loaf, &c., render it, by far, the best bread-baker In the market. i have, therefore, every reason to express my setisfaction with it Very respectfully yours, au 30-1m MUSICAL CARD. i c ROFESSOR B., FOR THE LAST EIGHT years one of the finest piano teachers in Bos- ton, now a resident in thiscity, would like a few select pupils in the higher brancheson the Piano.
