TaarsenrG’s Coxcert.—Carusi's Saloon was filled again last night, and so we presume it would be fur as many successive nights as Mr. Thalberg eould make it convenient to appear. Certainly his audiences here show no symp- toms of tiring of him; rather we think they are learning better and better t» appreciute his marvelous power over the pian power which the uninitiated are hardly prepared to understand at first, in consequence of the quiet, undemonstrative mauner in which he performs his work. Nove but pianists. indecd, cnn well appreciate the severity of the techni- eal difficulties through which he works his way with such apparent ease Our music-loviag citizens are by no means content to say good-bye to Mr. Thalberg quite yet, and we learn that be has consented to give one more concert in this city. and which will, it is expected, take place on Thursday weok Madame D'Angri sang superbly, indeed, last night) We wust not omit to mention the debut made by M'tle Mathilde bo, by her pereonal charms as well as her sweet notes. set many a young man’s heart throbbing under his « tevat and sent him home madly ia lve. With the confidence to enable her te give her musical powers full expression, and which she will acquire by facing the foot-lights a few times, she is cer- tain to become a great favorite with the pubii-. Brat Tats Wao Cax'—Mrs. Miller, wife of Mr David Miller. a very worthy dairyman who resides near the Seventh stree 1 gate, gave ber husband during the recent severe *nap, ao unusual house warming, consisting of three additional Jove pledges, in the shape of the same number of fine boys, at one birth The mest remarkable feature about the case is the very unu-ual size of each of the child- ren, the largest weighing seven pounds nine ounces, the second seven pounds seven ounces, and the third seven pounds four ounces, wa king in the eggregate twenty-two pounds and s fourth. Probably such another oase, so far as the sise of the children is concerned, cannot be found in medical record. Dr C H. Craigin was the attending physician, and the mother and her triplets are doing remarkably well Hurrah fer Seventh street’ the vicinity of the toll gate will be a popular locality, and house ren‘s theresbouts may be expected to go up We enter Washington city against the world at the next baby show Joan T. Foro Execten Cowxeitwan in Battimons.—The special election in the Twelfth Ward, Baltimore, took place yester- day, and resulted in the election of cur old friend Ford to fill the vacancy in the first branch of the City Council, created by the resignation of James W.

We bear tbat a emall boy fell on Seventh streetsouth, and was dangerously injured 'e was picked up by some gentleman and carried to a dwelling near by to be properly cared for. In the preent condition cf the sidewalks ashes, it spread on the ements, might prevent many painfal seuidents. . Porroe Magistrates —At this time there are but four police m ites in the seven police districts of the city of Washington. The commission of the magistrate of the fourth district, Justice Morsell, has expired, and no one has been chosen in his place; Justice Briggs, of the sixth district, has ‘‘ gone to the West,” and. we are informed, intends to re- side there ; Justice Birch, of the seventh dis- trict, sent his resignation to the Board of Aldermen last night. This morning the busi- ness of the central guard house was attended to, so far as it was competent for him to act, (he not being a police magistrate) by Justice Donn. — Pirrerers —Last night several small boys wore arrested for various acts of petty larceny, and taken to the guard-house. The youngest of them, John Smith, twelve years old, is an old offender in crime apparently, there being several warrants against him in addition to the one on which he wasarrested He seemed to be much distressed when put in the cel!s, and wept bitterly, but suddenly “dried up.” The guard, on going to inquire the cause of this change, found his young charge matebing cents with his fellow-prieoners, und, having struck a vein of luck, was apparently quite resigned to his condition Ha» was sent to jail for a hearing. Centre Market —The roads have boen im- proved sufficiently to allow producers residing in the adjoining counties to send larger quan- tities cf provisions to market than during a week orcwo past. This morning, a large num- ber of wagons and carts loaded with green wood were ranged along the stand on Ninth street; and the hay stands on Loi a ay enue were all occupied. 3 Wasuixeron Circus —Kemember the grand entertainment to be given at the Circus to- night, in which Mad Tournaire, Mad Debacu, the Ferranti’s, Mr. E. Wooda, Kingeade, Han- kins, Foster, and that son of Momus Jim Burt. ail perform. The entertainments zre of the first order, and all who wish to pass an evening of rare enjoyment and “drive dull care away,” should not fail to attend. Dr Grarton Trier respectfully informs his fellow citizens of Georgetown that, under no possible circumstances will he consent to have his name used in connection with any municipal office, as his professional alligations are paramount to all other considerations * Watch Retorxs —John Smith, aged 12 years, larceny; jail for further hesring.

The Horrible Midnight Murder in New York. The New York papers contain further per- ticulars in regard to the mysterious murder of Dr Harvey Burdell,a wealthy dentist of New York city, perpetrated at his house, No. :I Bond street, some time during Friday night last. The boy who attended to the work room of the deceased, on going to the above named boarding house, Saturday morning, found, a little after eight e’clock, the body of his em ployer lying on the floor of his bed room, dead, and surrounded with clots of congealed blond Much alarm naturally existed, and Dr. Francis was called in to make a postmortem examination. He found that Dr. Bardell had been strangled by a ligature applied arvund the throat, and that the murderer had inflict ed besides fifteen deep wounds with a sha: instrument on his person. any one of whic was almost sufficient to cause death alone. The New York Times of Monday, says: “So faras wecan gather from testimony thus far given. he was seen at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of Fridey, by the landlady, who, to increafo the romance of the affair, proves to have been his wife. We infer, though the official report of the evidence from which this part of our report is copied says nothing of the fact, that he was then going out. Woen he returned is notknown. He is next heared of in the morning at about § o'clock, when his errand boy, going to bis room,opened the door and found him dead. It was an- nounced in the evening papers of Saturday as @ caze of sudden death, from the rapture of a blood vessel : but an examiuation revealed the fact that he had been strangled by a cord being drawn around his neck,--and that there were no less than fifteen wounds upon various parts of his body, inflicted bys knife or sswe sharp instrument fis door waz unlocked, and the key was upon the outside. We tind nothing in the evidence tu show whether he usually left itso at uight,—whether his bed bad been occupied during the night, or any thing else tending to fix the probable time at whicn the murder was perpetrated. Whether it was on Friday evering. before he had re tired. or on Saturday mourning. after be had risen, seems to bave been a point which the Coroner did net think worth inquiring nbout at all events we find nothing w fix it in the evidence. It must have been at une time or the other, for when found he was fully dressed. The murderer was evidently some one Ac- quainted with the house—for in a store room next the garret were fuund a towel, sheet, an { night shirt, smeared with blood, and also an ordinary ehirt with blood upon one arm, and marked ‘Charles J. Ketchum.’ The nawe Was priuted, aud may have been put there for the express purpose of diverting suspicion to the belief that it was the act of some one not known in the neighborhood. That it was not done for purposes of robbery is shown by the fact that nothing whatever was taken. No evidence hes as yet shown any motive any- where fur such an act, though the principal effort bas been in that direction. It was at- tempted to be shown that differences had ex- isted between Dr Burdell and the woman who proves to have been his wife—but it did not amount to anything It is 0 alleged that a Mr Ecker, who boarded in the hoase, was also intimate with the woman, and that there had been jealousies between him and the deceased on that account Mrs. Burdell states that on Friday night Ecker left her bed- room between 10 and 11 o'clock, and gives the impres-ion that be had been there for some hours previous. The bungling manner, how- ever, in which the official report of the test:- mony is given, renders it very difficult to get any very clear idea of the facts which it estab- lishes. During yesterday a der was found in the room, where the murder was committed, smeared with blood; and we understand that evidence will be offered to-day to sbow that it belonged, or bed belonged, to Mr. Ecker. Upon his examination he testified that he knew nothing about the affsir—that he heard no noise during the night, and had not ssen Burdell for ten days. Benpractors or Manxxinp.—It is not he who invented Brussels Carpeting or Gold Bro- cade, whom the masses have reason to hold in regard, bat he who funishes something use- fal to every-body. One of our government officials lately returned trom his mission in Brazil, tells as an anecdote that among the Grst enquiries made of him about his acquain- tance with our public men, wea whether ke knew the Ainerican Chemist, Da J. C. Aver, who invented the Cherry Pectoral and Cath- artw Pills. As these articles (more particu- larly the Cherry Pectoral) are in general use in the cities of South America, they are the most prevalent representations of American products, aud agmany thousands there as well as here, ows to them the recovery of their health from maligrant diseasos, it is not strange they should hold the inventor in es- teem, but itis rather simple in them to sup- pose that the Doctor is theonly man of mark we have among our twenty-five million peo- ple.—Christsan Advocate. A Perrouen Beeata.—What lady or gen- tleman would remain under the curse of adis agreeable breath when by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers’? a8 a dentrifice would not only render it sweet but leave the teeth white as alabaster?
