“LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Guesx’s Bexgrit —Our friend, the public’s friend, everybody's friend who can appreciate —_— merit, S. W Glenn, that “persecuted atcbman,”’ takes his benefit to-morrow night, 8 Which occasion a truly Collossian array of att -action is to be piled up. I First will be given the drama of ‘“ Rosina Meadows’’ with Glenn in the Yankee part of Jethro Baxter, after which Miss Morant will give a touch of = musical abilities (of hres report speaks highly) in the performance of a Spanish March upon the bake ; which will be followed by the excellent comedy in two acts entitled “ The Blind Viotinist,"’ the whole to conclude with Glenn's irresistible, grotesque, ide splitting, rib-expanding Dutch version of Richard Il. A Now who says the visitors at the National to-morrow night will not get their mone; worth? We think they will, and something over, to say nothing of the satisfactory feeling of having benefitted a worthy actor and capi- tal good fellow. Tax “Maraie Bacnevors,” comprising many of our esteemed fri at the Navy Yard, seem always to act upon the maxim, thot whatever is worth doing at all is worth sdoing well They are none of your timid, ir- resolute, half-way men. They go the whole figure, whether in politics, matrimony, broa: sword exercise, socis! reunio or festive gatherings. Hence, their ball last night was jast what every body expected it would be—a splendid, a joyous affair. Several new and beautiful dances were introduced, but per- baps, the mos attractive feature of the floor exercises wes the ‘* Bachelors’ March,”’ which was partivipated in by the whole company, keepieg time to the inspiring strains of Pros- peri &nd Weber's combined cotillon bands. Teacugrs’ Association —This Association holds its monthly meeting at the Smithsonian Institute (apparatus room) at 11 o'clock a. m. #-morrow, and among other interesting exer- vises a lecture will be delivered on ‘Systematic Instruction in Elementary Schools.’” by J. E. Tkompson of the Fourth District School No person is better fitted than Mr. Thompson to Beadle such a subject vigorously and thor- =e in allits bearings, as he is a veteran and most successful teacher. The public will find it worth its while to attend these iuterest- img meetings of the Teachers Association. Parents, and those designing to follow t2ach- ing as a profession, particularly would te benefitted by attending them. Nationa Tatatre —Uar theatre goers are now fairly thawed out by the fine weather, and we shall think it passing strange if the xepresentation to-night of Buckstono’s admir- able comedy of “ Married Life’’ does not draw a good house. Miss Fanny Morant takes the partof Mrs. Lynx. We are gtad to see sterl- ing comedies of this cast brought out out the National, and are confident the company can perform sachhandsomely Theamusing firce of “ The Dumb Belle”? concludes the perform- ances P. S.—We learn that in consequence of the regretted indispositioa of Miss Morant the play of “ All that Glitters is not Gold” has mn substituted for ** Married Life.’” Oy tre Taris'—We learn that a private sabseription ball and supper, to come off early in February, is being started under the auspices of the young gentlemen who so well conducted a similar one last year. From the character of the gentlemen so engaged, and that of the last ball, we are cure it will bea gtand affair. None are ta be admitted but ——s and the number of theso are lim- Ite Pigeon Saootixc.—This morning, Officer Cooper arrested a ybung man nemei Wm. Majors, for shooting pigeon: in front of the City Hall. He was taken before Justice Birch, where ke stated that the Mayor had given him permission to shoot the birds in order to drive them from the building, where they are get. ting to be a great nuisance The young man wae held to security fur a further bearing. Recovery or Stotes Goons. —Officer Yeat- msn yesterday succeeded in recovering a lot of boots which had been stolen from Mr. H. Thecker, Georgetown. The supposed thief, a man named Laird, went to a cook-shop in the Centre Market. to get his breakfast, where he left the gooda for a short time. While he was sway the «ffizer en‘ere] and took the goods, Laird was not arrested. Assavct axp Batrery.—Lost night two young men of the name of Stewart went to the restaurant of C. Frankenberger. on Sev- enth street, and excited a fight in which Mr Frankenberger and his barkeeper was badly beaten and injured. The barkeeper was struck with a spittoon aud eut, but not dangerously. The yourg men were afterwards arrested but eseaped from the officer Tue Rois —To-day, quite a large number of wagous arrived in the city from the sur- rounding country; drivers, teams, and car- riages being covered with mud. The drivers report the ro in very bad condivion, and declare that necessity alone compelled them to make the trip at this tice. Costiy Sroat.—A young man, named P.

The facts of tho case, so far as we have learned, are as follows: The chal- lenger was Mr. George W White, » book- keeper in a large hardware establishment, and his antagonist, (who was killed) was Mr. Parkerham feBlane, a deputy sheriff who at- tended the Supreme Court. We last saw Mr LeBlanc when he was engaged in reading the death warrant of Kennedy on Friday last. On the evening of tho same day, as we learn, he went to a society ball at Masonic Hall, on St. Charles street, and found some difficulty in obtaining admission for a Indy who sccompanied him. This caused him to retire in anger, and when subsequently he met Mr. White, who was one of the acting managers of the ball, he deliberately spat in hie face. Mr. White then challenged him, and, the challenge being accepted, the par- ties met at] o'clock yesterday afternoon, to settle their difficulty with double-barreiled guns at fifteen paees _‘‘ At the given signal Mr. White fired, and his antagonist was shot through the heart, but his Goger was on the trigger, and in falling he discharged his piece, though without doing any execution. His body was then carried to his residence on Bourbon street, and an in quest will be held on it this morning. What became of Mr White after the intel inne we have not learned.’” —-———- +0 Waits Teer, Perfumed Breath and beau- tiful Complexion can be acquired by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers.’’ Beware of counterfeits.
