Smoors Fries anv Levis —A war of ex inination was waged upon these unhappy coins all about town on Saturday. The crusade was commenced by a few of the leading grocers, and was entered upon by the market people with such unrelenting severity as to give no quarter to really good and unworn Mexican and Spanish quarters. Every butcher, baker and huckster wore a ‘- no-you-dont !’” and ecrutinized each coin presented most rigidly ; pouncing on a ‘* foreigner,’’ when discovered, with as much ferocity as if an attempt had been made to palm so much bogus money upon them. Many drcli szenes occurred in conse- quence, and at almost every market stall could be seen a group ef custumers who, un Prepared for the emergency, wero supplied with nothing clse but the obnoxious cvia, and whose only hope of dipner lay in persuading the dealer to receive it, for this occasion, at | least, as an equivalent for hiseatables We had to let our smooth levy slide for ten cents worth of veal; but what of that? No good citizen will shrink from sacrificing something to the public weal Tracners Assov1atiox.—In consequence of the inability of Mr. J E. Thompson to at- tend on Saturday, his essay was not read, but will be inorder on the occasion of the next meeting cf the Association The question of the proper temperature of School rooms was discussed, and the general expression of opinion centered upon a tem- perature of from 70 to 75 degrees Fabrenheit. The next question taken up was the ad- journed one of weights and measures, during which Mr.S. L Loomis remarked that hehad recently found that the weights distributed to the several States as standards were respect- ively fifty pounds, thirty pounds, and twenty pounds, avoirdupois, with the ounce of sixteen to the pound, snd subdivisions of ounces ac- cording to the decimal scale down to ten thou- sandth of anounce The pound and ounce are the only two standards. Farr.—To-morrow night the Ladies of Sixth Presbyterian (Rey Mason Noble’s) Church will open a Fair in Schneider's Bniliing, on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, be- tweon Tenth and Eleventh streets, for the sale of fancy and useful articles manufactured by them and their friends, the proceeds of which sales are to be devoted toward the payment of the debt which is hanging over their church edifice The call made upon the benerolent by these ladies cannot well be slighted. We know that their exertions to make this fair successful have been most arduous, and now having done overythiog on their part it remains with a be- nevclent and charitable public to second the hopeful efforts of the getters-up of the fair. Cartons Exposen.—Thiz morning a gen- tleman reported to the Chief of Police that a couple of small children were in an unforta- nate plight in a house on D street near Twelfth street. The owner of the hou-e. it seems, in order to eject the tenant, the father of the children, had taken away the doors and win- dows of the tenewent, and the tenant being unwilling or unable te remove, the children were exposed to the severity of the weather The Ccoseangael ope ome to take the chil- dren in charge until other arrangement? could be made for them. Stosa on Sposu —We have, as Mereury would say, the temerity to venture to fear- lessly aseert, that any thing approaching the condition of the streets of this Federal Mo- tropolis as exhibited on yesterday, has rarely been known in the history of the city. The snow which fell on I'riday night helped with the previous accumulations of the article, tu make an indescribable milk and molasses col- ored compound of mud and slosh when brought to the melting moed by the warm sun of Sat- urday and yesterday. We need hardly sey that besumaxt ud cellars about town are in a terrible coadition. Tar Cirevs.—A fine houce grected Mr. Jim Myers, on Saturday night last, on the occa- sion of bis benefit, notwithstanding the in- clement weather. The next grand equestrian exbibition will be given on tc-morrow (Tuesday) night, when all of this excelleat company will appear in a series of new acts. The endeavors of the manager of this establishment to present the very best novelty and talent in the business deserves excouragemcat from our citizens Oa Thursday night a benefit will be given to the poor of our city, the proceeds to be placed in the hands of bis honor the Mayor. Nariosat Taeatre —Our friend Glenn, we are giad to say, had a handsome benefit on Saturday night. To-night, Miss Fanny Mo- rant having recovered from h disposition, the will appear as Madame de Beaupre in Tom Taylor's drama of “ Retribution The per- formances concl: with the favorite farce of ‘The Widow's im.’’ in which Mr.S E Browne as Jeremiah Clip, gives his capital imitations of eminent actors Ustawrer Gatserinc. — Last night the auxi guard and police, with some citizens. mode a descent on a house kept by a eniored men pamed Jobn Shaw, in the Severth Ward, and captared a large crowd of young colored people who were disturbing the neighborhood. They were all taken to the central guard house, and this morming were disposed of ac- cording to law, by Justice Birch. Batt ron Court.—Saturday evening the eases of Daniel and Isaiah Stewart, who were charged with assaulting Mr. Frankenberge:. Mr Genhardt aud Mr Harvey were called up for trial before Justice Hollingshead, and after a hearing of the evidence, they were held to bail in $500 each for their appearance at the ensuing term of the Criminal Court. A Sieicu Kine.—Friday night, anumber cf young men, enjoying « sleigh ride, got a little too lively and excited riots in the Fitth Ward bh dupon toem and conducted them to the Central Guard House, where they were tried, and ordered to give bail for court, by Justice Bireb.

Some $400 was realized by the concert—a very handsome sum indeed. We tulate the benevolent ladies who had the concert in hand upon the satisfactory result. Tae River.—Those persons; who waded through the mud and snow yesterday to see the river break up were sadly disappointed. The ice in the river is of formidable thickness, and nothing short of a warm rain or a pro. tracted thaw will set it in motion. Concert Por tue Poor —We are authorized to say that Porrest Hall, Georgetown, can be cceapied by any responsible parties for a con- cert for the benefit of the poor. ‘The Hall will be warmed and the lighta furnished.
