EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. $$ —_—_—_——— “Tas Last Excursion or rae Season.” How many delightful recollections are called up by the above heading? How many ploas- ant and happy hours spent u the broad bosom of the Potomac, or amid the quiet re- treats of the (down-river) White House—the rush and excitement upon the wharf as the anxious crowds gather from all quarters to embark—the swelling sounds of music—the tramping of tiny feet upon the decks, and the rustling of innnmerable dresses as the throng — If se. ps the capacious boat —the sta: » with the accompanying feeling of alternate fear and carelessness—the dash of the waves as the noblo boat ploughs her way through the water, and the magnificent view which presents itself on either sido—the land- ing at the Pavilion—the merry danee, and the other sources of amusement which present themselves—all these recur vividly to imagi- nation when penning the paragraph— The last excursion of the season’’ We long, and feel confident that many of our readers will unite with us, again to indulge in the innocent en- joyments incident to an excursion, and cer- tainly no more agreeable period could be se- lected for it than this, the saddest yet sweetest season of the year, when Nature after luxuri- ating in ber rich foliage of green, is about laying it aside for the sombre tints of autumn, preparatory to her long winter’s repose To all who feel thus inclined, an opportunity is offered by the Young Catholic’s Friend So- ciety on Monday next, the particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns The trip will be pleasant, the object a char- itable one, and therefore let all attend, or if they cannot attend at least purchase a ticket, thereby encouraging the worthy gentlemen who devote their time and means to clothing and educating indigent children of our city. Hovusrznotp IspispzNsasLes.— Perhaps never before in the history of Washington have there been so many new kinds of stoves, grates, ovens, furnaces, etc., as now, from which persons desirous of purchasing can make their selections. Though some of them are poetically named, we feel assured that they all will prove to be “ fire-eaters.’” The pat- terns are indeed beautiful, and are well worthy of examination. The most extensive dealers in these articles are James Skirving, C. Woodward & Son, W H. Harrover, and Sibley & Guy, whose qualifications and enter- prise in that line of business are well known to the public. They will severally, doubtless, grate-fully acknowledge the patronage which ae be lavished upon them. aving procured the stoves, the next thing to be done is to obtain the fuel In this con- nection we would simply mention the names of Jno. W. Myers & Co., Messrs. Galt, Castle- man & Brother, Shields, Moore, and Messrs. Chapin. Let their advertisements tell you what they have on hand, for sale. Firewen’s Dirricutties.—The following communication has been received from the Mayor by the Franklin Fire Company in ra- Jation to the examination before him : Mayor’s Orricz, Wassincton September 19, 1856. } ‘ Sir: In answer to youginquiry, it gives mo great pleasure to be able to state that the in- vestigation recently made in relation to cer- tain riots in which some of the fire companies were engaged on Pennsylvania avenue, near Thirteenth street, resulted in the acquittal of the Franklin Fire Company of all blame in that matter, and that all the evidence went to show that the officers and members of that company were-anxious to observe the laws and respect the peace and good order of the city. Very respectfully, your obd’t serv’t, W. B. Macruper, Mayor Rosert E. Doyxeg, President Franklin Fire Company. Daxcisc.—The season forcotillons and ho is at id, when the foot necessarily will be exercised in the saloon amid gay company and merry hearts. Persons who attend such as- semblages feel excessively awkward when they essay to take partin the pleasantly exciting exercises without having previously looked well to theirdancing ways. If adults, as well as juveniles, cannot “ figure’’ gracefully it is their own faults, for Monsieur Gaszynski tella them, through the Star, that he will open his classes for this accomplishment at the E street Temperance Hall on the 8th of October; and Professor Munder, through the same channel, = that he will resume the duties of his school in afew days, and that ‘‘he has en- tirely altered his style of teaching for ad- vanced pupils, and invites all those who wish a final course of instruction to avail them- selves of this excellent opportunity.” Rioters.—A number of young men have been creating considerable disorder in the Seventh Ward, by storming houses, breaking doors and windows, fighting and otherwise violating the law. They usually select those localities farthest from the officers, and where the assistance of sympathizers affords them Opportunities to escape. The only course left is to obtain the names of the parties and have them arrested separately. We are informed that complaints have been made agains’ a number of those characters, and among them the names of several old offenders appear. The severest penalty of the law is the best cure for them. The forfeiture and enforce- ment of a few bonds, would put an end to thoge riots. A Svacestion.—As several mad dogs have recently been killed, and as it is to pre- sumed that, among the thousands of canines who enjoy the freedom of the city, there are more of them similarly affected, we suggest to the City Fathers that they suspend for a while, the law which makes it a penal offence for persons to discharge deadly weapons in the Streets, so that all men and women may bave 4n opportunity tu defend themselves from the possibility, if not probability, of attacks from the hydropbobiatic quadrupeds! This recom- mendation is made in view of the fact that the life of a human being is considered by us to be more valuable than that of a dog! Cavtion —We learn that some of the city larks have been in the habit of breaking open the spring-house upon Cold Spring Farm, on the outskirts of the city, (the residence of a widow lady,) stealing milk and butter there- from, breaking jars, aud doing a great deal of wanton mischief. All lenieut measures having failed to redress the grievance, more severe remedies will now be applied, and the wrong- doers will save themselves trouble by stopping their depredations instanter. Serious Caargz.—We learn that a com- plait has beon made to the Mayor that a jus- lice of the peace in the corporation em; loy asked and obtained a fee from the frie! ds of @ prisoner for geing to the guard house at night to hear the charges against him and re- lease him on bail. It is likely that this sub- ject will undergo an examination, as also the matter of traflic in passes for colored persons. Disuissep —Thomas Dawson appeared last evening before Justice Hollingshe: the charge of assault on —— We: He had previously been arrested, and released on security for a hearing. The evidence was sufficient to show tbat he was acting in an offi- cial capacity, and had not exceeded his au- thority. He was dismissed. Centae Marxet.—The market space and stands were all occupied this morning, and a much larger supply of provisions exhibited for sale than was expected last night, the rain being so heavy. The prices are but little dif- ferent from those of the past week, the only change being in the price of those articles now nearly out of season. i Sariineros has laid on our table the fol- lowing magazines for October: Godey’s Ladies’ Book, Arthur’s Home Magazine, Ballou’s Do! lar Monthly, the New York Journal, and Yan- kec Notions. All the principal literary news- papers forsale at Shillington’s; also, all the uew books received as fast as published. Losrins —The alarm of fire last night was caused bya bonfire on Massachusetts avenue, in ibe Fourth Ward. The companies were promptly out to render assistance, but fortu- nately they were not required. Tue most Ludicrous and Laughable Carica tures of all political parties, only 124 cents each For sale at Alex. Adsmson’s, pores street, opposite to the Post Office. New Auction axp Coumission Stone.—B: reference toour advertising columns it be seen that Messrs. Bonts & Coombs have opened an auction and commission store in con- nection with the house-furnishing business. These enterprising gentlemen have met with the most remarkable success since they have been in business, and we doubt not if the same prom and punctuality characterize their dealings as heretofore, they will receive a liberal patronage from the public. Rain.—This region of country has just been visited with po rains, which continued throughout last night and this morning. The streets are clean from their severe drenching, vegetation is a shade more verdant, and the atmosphere rendered more pleasant than it was before the gracious aqueous visitation. Warca Rervurns.—Edward Hall, colored, profanity ; fine and costs, James Hill, threats and malicious mischief; held for trial. Jas. W. Wilson, minor, running with fire appara- tus; dismissed. POLITICAL ITEMS. Hon. D. M. Barringer, of North Carolina, announces his intention to vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge. The statement of the New York Post that the Rev Dr. Baird is about to take the stump for Fremont is incorrect. J.B. Chrisman, president of the Fremont club at London, Madison county, Ohio, has re- signed his office, and announced himself in favor of Fillmore Hon H. 5S. Geyer, Whig United States Sen- ator from Missouri, is out in a letter declaring his purpose to support Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency. The Chicago Times says that Bissell, the abolition candidate for Governor of Illinois, will withdraw. The “freedom shriekers’’ have a hard time of it out West. Peter Alexander, of Tensas narish, the Fill- more elector for the sixth district of Louisiana, declared in his speech in New Orleans, on the 10th instant, that if the Presidential contest were confined to Fremont and Buchanan, he would not vote for Buchanan. There was a large gathering of the democ- racy at Brooklyn, Mich., on Saturday last. Grass Lake sent a delegation, including thir- ty-one ladies, dressed in white, representing the different States. Grass Lake is the place where the Black Republicans draped the — fiag in black,on the 4th of July ast. Hon. A. G. Magrath has consented t> run for Congress in the Charleston district of South Carolina, in place of Governor Aiken. In his letter of acceptance he announces his deter- mination not to enter personally in the can- va He says that he neither desires nor s0- licits the office, but will, if elected, discharge its duties to the best of his ability. A Rochester correspondent of the Boston Journal (Fremont) says: ‘It is rumored here that, on the eve of election, Fillmore will withdraw, and his vote will be transferred to Buchanan.” To this the Journal adds : ‘There may be something more in the rumor mentioned by our corres pondent than might at first be supposed.” The St. Louis Republican of the 15th instant says that errors have been discovered in the official canvass in Missouri, in the vote for lieu- tenant governor, which elect Jackson, Demo- erat, by ninety-one majority. Newland, the Fillmore candidate, had been regarded elect- ed by one hundred and eighty-eight majority. The legislature will correct the error, un- doubtedly, by giving the office to Jackson. The rest of the Democratic State ticket is elected by majorities ranging from one to siz thousand. During the rain of yesterday morning, (says the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian,) two gentle- men attired in the Friend or Quaker garb, entered an omnibus at Sixteenth and Green streets, opposite the Rockey Mountain Hut, towards the erection of which one of them, no doubt, contributed largely. Joshua took his Seat as soon as he entered, but Nathaniel felt carefully around for a dry place, and at length taking out a neatly folded handkerchief, and spreading it under him, sat down. ‘ Thy | Scope does not correspond with thy theory, athaniel,”’ said Joshua. ‘“ Why?” inquired the former. ‘‘ Because,’’ said Joshua, ‘thee thinks sitting six hours on the snow qualifies John C Fremont for the Presidency of the United States, and yet thee fears to sit fora few minutes upon a damp seat’ Nathaniel was ailent. Harver’s MaGAzing, for October, just re- ceived from J. Shillington and Alexander Adamson, has a cuntinuation of Dickens’s “Little Dorrit,”’ (two of the best chapters yet,) more Websterian reminiscences; a profusely illustrated article entitled ‘‘ Cooking of Men ;’’ “Wild Life in Oregon,” with more fine wood cuts; “‘ Passages of Eastern Travel,” do. do and “ Insect Life,’’ do. do. The magazine is disfigured yet with the miserably selected assortment of old ‘‘ Joes,”’ displayed in the “ Editor’s Drawer.” A Perrumep Breata.—What lady or gen- tleman would remain under the curse of a dis- agreeable breath when by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers” as a dentrifice would not only render it sweet but leave the teeth white as alabaster? Many persons do not know their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate their friends will never mention it. Pour a single drop of the “Balm” on your tooth brush and wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent bottle will last a year For sale at Shillington’s, agent for Washing- ton, and all Druggists. Z Martrinosy—Gastronomic Nawes.—-The following announcement appears in the Phila- delphia papers: ‘Married on the 10th instant, by the Rev G@. Oram, Mr. William Greaser, to Miss Hannah Kitchen, both of Chelter-ham County, Pa” Discovery or 4 New Istaxp.—Capt.

After his arrest he made an at- tempt to swallow forged drafts to the amount of six thousand dollars, but was prevented by & prompt squeeze on the throat by the Mar- shal, while Mr. Scollick drew the papers from hismouth.

Mr. Thomas has resided here a long time, was for many Sears president of the Friendship fire company, as well as amember of the city council, and at the time of his death held the position of Lieut. Colonel of the 175th regiment militia. He leaves a wifeand seven children to mourn his Ines.
