EVE STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Avt Hattow E'gx.—This first day of No- vember is noted in the conn - = ne Day, and consequently night being Hallow E’en was duly uemrved y ail lovers of the rare sports of ancient ally by our fellow-citizens of En, h and Seotch origin Young people, especially the young ladies, availed themselves of the occa- sion to ascertain by means of charms and rites who are to be their partners for life Hallow Eve is also called “ Nut Crack Night’? from the ceremony of burning nuts observed by the young rent 4 A damsel places three nuts upon the fire, giving each of them the name of one of her admirers. If the put cracks or jaraps the lover wil! prove unfaithful, but if it burns brightly he will prove kind If the nuts named after the girl and her lover burns together they will be married. Another amu: ing observance is ts float apples in a pail of water, and who ever can catch the apple in his or ber teeth is entitled to retain it. Goop Samaritans —Yesterday. an old gen- Weman from the country, and who was in a state of intoxication, stopped his horse at the Steamboat hotel, where he exhibited a large amount of money very carelessly. The proprietor called in witnesses and took the money in charge, had it counted in their presence, and then secured it safely under kick and key. The old gentleman was then put to bed, and after a sound sleep, was sufficient- ly recovered to be able to express his grati- tude for the friendly act by which his prop- erty had been secured to him intact. trangers coming to town with large amounts of money upon them, should be cautious bow they put an ‘“‘ enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains,’’ since they might not al- ways fall into as good hands as the old gentle- man whose case we have just recorded. A Comptete Music Store.—Our indefati- gable neighbor Ellis has, we see, been fitting up sad renovating his store and replenishing his musical stock of goods in such sort that bis establishment is really one of the most elegant and complete within our knowledge The late fancy goods department has been re- moved to another store, and an apparently in- exhaustible variety of musical instruments and furnishings takes its place. The array of pianos, melodeons, guitars, violins, banjus, accordeons, flutes, fifes, flageolets, drums, tri- angles, bows, pegs, rosin, sheet music, music books, &c , &c., mpting enough to makea musical amateur’s mouth water. This estab- lishment is an ornament to the avenue, and most oreditable to the young and energetic proprietor. Farat Accipent To A WASHINGTONIAN.—A ntieman from Richmond, Va, (Mr. Jno A. Parker, now stoppiog at the Kirkwood Hcuse,) informs us thi gentleman supposed to be from this city was killed yesterday, at the horse exhibition of the Richmond Agricultural Fair He imprudently attempted to cross the track, and was struck either by a horse or the wheel of a vehicle and knocked down. When assistance reached him he was found to be speechless, but having his senses he wrote on acard the name of a physician who was near, and gave bis own name as Camp- bell, and as a clerk in one of the Government Departments in this city. He died in a few minutes Vitiarsocs —It is really a great pity that the miscreants who are engaged in the work of vitriol snd oil throwing cannot be caught and served out as they richly deserve. In ad- dition to the cases already atentioned in the Star, we learn that a lady yesterday, on re turning home from a shopping excursion upon the avenue, discovered that ber dress, a new and costly silk one, was entirely ruined through the scoundrelism of these oil throwers. Real ly, if this state of things is to continue, ladies will be compelled to wear their most ordinary apparel when going upon the street, rather than the reverse as at present. Tux Srar Trovre.—These entertaining ca- terers to the public amusement conclude their tformances at Odd Fellows’ Hall to-night, a one of their best programmes, for the bene- fit of that excellent performer and good fel- low, Harry Lehr. On Monday night, this troupe opens at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard We commend them to our friends of the Sixth Ward asa very superior company. Of course everybody will go to-night to wit- ness the round of amusing and attractive per- formances put up for the benefit of “ Brudder Bones.”’ i Wixrzr Oomixe —Ice formed last night to the thickness of half an inch or thereabouts, and vegetation at sunrise was noticed by early risers to be crusted with a delicate coating of whitefrost. Laterin the morning, the rays of the sun dispersed the frost work, and now all the Washington streak of creation joyment of a brilliant autumn day; yet an over-coat is a good thing. By the way, how ex- cessively bewitching the ladies look in their fall style of gray cloaks, or whatever the dear creatures please to callthem. The incoming fashions are indeed unusually pretty. Centre Marxer.—The supply of provisions in market this morning was very full, and the quality such as would rejoice the most con- firmed epicure. The prices of many articles are deemed exorbitant. but we hear of less complaint than formerly oa this score. The orderly behavior of the large crowd constant- ly passing and repassing during market hours is worthy of remark, and may be attributed to the fact that the venerable clerk of the mar- ket insists on vigilantly enforcing the regula- tions Assav.t anD Proranity.—Yesterday, Pe- ter Peppert was arrested by Polize Officer Mit. chell for profanity, and assault and ibattery on Emeline Brady ani Mary Brady. He was fined in the Corporation case, and held to se- earity in $200 for a hearing in the United States case, by Justice Thompson. The two females were afterwards arrested by Constable Simonds on United States war- rants, and were also held to security by Jus tice Thompson, in the same amount, for a fur- ther hearing Avv Sovxs’ Evgs.—This customary solem- nity in our Catholic churches will be partieu- larly observed at St Matthew's churca to morrow (Sunday) evening. when the services will commence at seven o'clock, and a sermon be preached by Rev. Father Maguire, presi- dent of Georgetown College. The excellent choir of the church will be strengthened bya very select orchestra, in order to give full ef- feet to Mozart n Requiem and to selec- tions from Rossini’s “ Stabat Mator.”” Tus Rerort of the Captain of the Auxiliary Guard for the month of Ustober shows that the number of cases for trial was 125: lodgers 56.

Shillington has them all for sale for November. = Fignr.—Yesterday morning, a number of half grown boys, and some men entered upon @ stone battle, near the circle in the first Ward Numbers of stunes and other missiles were thrown, but no «crivus harm was done. The interference of Watchman Daw dispersed the disorderly gang. but no arrests were made. Dears rrom 4 Fatt —A colored man named Thomas Johnson, on Wednesda: night, while lowering « barrel at Peck's ice co made a misstep and was precipitated through a trap door, falling some thirty two feet upon a hi bead, breaking three of his ribs.

The following business was before our City Councils last night : In the Council, Mr. Orme offered preamble and resolutions of condolence with family of our late fellow citizen, W. McK. Osborn; which passed both Boa: Mr. White, of streetsjcommittee, reported back Aldermen’s bill for the improvement of 8 part of Bighth street; which was passed. Also, a resolution providing for the im- provement of Se of Washington street ; which passed both Boards Also, reported back Aldermen's bill provi- ding for flag footways across certain streets ; which was passed. Also, offered resolution which passed, in- structing the streets committee to examine into the condition of High street continued, and if the same is found out of repair to report a bill for the repair of the same, either by front foot tax or out of the town treasury. The Aldermen passed bill for the improve- ment of foot of Frederick street; referred to committee in the Council. The poll tax and suffrage bill was then taken up, and informally discussed for some time, and pending a motion to refer the whole mat- er to a special committee, both Boards ad- journed until next Friday evening at 7 o'clock. Business upon our canal this week has been very brisk, 81 boats in all have arrived; 45 of them from Cumberland with full cargoes of coal, 16 with flour and grain, and the remain- der from different points with wood, lime stone, &c. The receipts for tolls for the same period at the Georgetown Collector’s office amounts to about $3,000. The entire line is in fine navigable order, with a full supply of water on all the upper levels. It is antici- pated that the trade upon it from this time until the close of navigation by ice will be un- usually brisk and lucrative. The offerings of beef cattle at Drovers’ Rest yesterday amounted to 400 head; 250 of which Were purchased by District butchers, at $2 75 a$3 79 on the hoof, equal to $5.50a$7 50 net. The remaining 150 were taken by Baltimore purchasers. Sheep $2a$3 per head. Hogs $3. The flour market this morning is moderately firm—$6.87a$7 for good standard brands. Tho last steamer’s news has had but little effect upon it; and holders seem very little disposed to operate below the last named price The whost market is rather dull and inclined to droop—good red is selling at $1.48, and whito at $155 Corn—60s for white and yellow. Arrivals—Schooner Fleatwuod, Nickerson Boston, to Hartly & Bro ; schooner Americ; Star, Steen, Haynesville, N. J., to Howell & Striolirg The schooner Sylvanus Allen, freightea by Hartly & Bro , sailed this morn- ing for Boston. 8. _#F$MM’e“' _—'2- - oo POLITICAL ITEMS. J. D. Oalver. Esq., of Oswego, has been nominated for Congress by the Americans of the Oswego district. The Philadelphia Bulletin, a republican journal, has a letter from the Hon. John M. Botts, of Virginiain which he takes ground in favor of the w or Fillmore and Fre- mont Electoral ticket in Pennsylvania. The same paper contains a similar letter from Hon. Kenneth Rayner, of N C. The fusion, we may add, has been repudiated by the Fillmore Executive Committeo of York county. The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman says the elite of our city, who hold stook in the Green Lawn Cemetery, have voted by a large ma jority to exclude the burial of negroes there Here was a request made by the colored Fre monters of Columbus, to bury their dead in the same ground where white Fremonters are buried, and the application was refused If the negroes are not fit to be buried with white men in the same grave-yard, are they fit men to compete with white labor in the streets or shops! There is some little good sense still left among the Republican ieaders, although it has latterly manifested itself in driblets — The change which the recent elections has made in the political complexion of the Thir- i Bree Congress, has drawn from the New ork Times a confession that the Republican party has reached the length of itstether. It sees in the result of the autumnal elections a gain of some 20 members “ to the slave power th no possibility of the Republicans being able to repair the damage.”” i7"Ging ges os Gluger, prepared by Fuxo.
