Two sportsmen arrived yesterday evening from the lower river, bringing nearly two hundred pairs of ducks, the prodyct of a few days shoot- Ee on the river shores. They were purchased by Skidmore, for the Centre Market. Arrived up trom Presley’s Creek, Northum- berland county, sloop A. E.

The jury in this case was sworn, and the case stated to them by Mr. Baxter for plaintiff. The Court then adjourned This morning the jury, in the case of McGreg- or vs. Grammer, being called, gave a sealed ver- dict for the defendant. ‘The court then went into consideration of the case of Mayo vs. Gideon, where it had been dropped yesterday evening Me Bradley, for defence, stated to the jury what the defence expected to prove in evidence in retation to the matter pending; and then the examination of witnesses was gone into, and was being continued when this report closed. Tux “ Ladies’ Union Benevolent and Fmploy- ment Society” are now endeavoring to arrange @ systematic and thorough plan of action by which all the meritorious poor can be uniformly aided. A public meeting was held a few even- ings since to consider the subject, at which the Rev. Messrs. Samson and Harold gave their ex- perience as almoners, aud solicit co-operation and aid. Hon. Howell Cobb, at the uest of the ladies of the society, also addressed the meeting, pledging bis own services, and assert- ing his belief that if the ladies had taken the lead in organizing 3 systematic 1elief movement the gentlemen would not be backward in con- tributing means wherewith to carry out the good work General Duff Green, Messrs. Rhces, Richards, and O'Brien afterward: spoke, and the following iadies and gentlemen were chosen a committee to arrange 2 plan of systematic action, viz: Rev. Dr. Gurley, Rev. Dr. Harold, Mr Rhees, Mrs ‘Webb, Mrs. Columbus Monroe, and Mrs. May- nard. This committee will meet on Monday evening next, and will report at a Public meet- ing, to be held on Wednesday next, at eleven o’clock, a.m , inthe treet Baptist church.

After organizing a supplementary report was read re- specting the Kailroad Convention which had been previously held at Bristol. The report also referred to an effort that had been made to estab- lish a through ticket systein from North to So: uth, and the subsequent failure of that effort. 4 80, to a lawsuit with the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Compan [A suit is now pendi before the Superior tof Virginia, institut by the above-named company against the Vir- | eer Central Railrosd Company for damages, vv tion of their charter in issuing through tickets in connection with the Orange and Alex- audria Railroad] The report touched upon the general subject of the unprodactiveness of rail- s and to the speed of trains, and to the ‘eights of engines.

Like wll debutantes, she has been over- praised, and suffers somewhat from an inability to fulfil the very high expectations raised. The other adjuncts of the concert also gave satisfac- tan. Signor Rocco, expecially, was warmly ap- plauded.”* TaxSournexs Matt has becn transferred at last from the Orange and Central Railroads to the river-route. The river line agrees to carry the through mail, twice a day, at three hundred dollars per mile, for nine months of the year; the remaining three months the Orange & Alex- audria and the Central Railroads agree to carry the sume mail at the same rate once a day it is understood, however, that the agreement with the Orange and Central Ruads is not to take effect except during such portion of the three months agreed upon as the river line shail be unable to go through regularly. The Orange railroad still retains the way mail at one Lundred and fifty dollars per mile Dexres tTHat He was Kittep—Rumor last night declared that Mr. Joba Holbrook, the agent of the omnibus line between the railroad and Alexandria, ad been shot dead on the street. Mr. Holbrook went to the guard house this morn- ing and denied the statement Positively, as one having authority.

What a monster is that Ditle phrase “hey say;"” and yet, notwithstanding the indefinite character of tts ree incalculable amount of mia- chief it has and again wrought in commu- nities, societies and fumilies—the hundreds of unsullied characters its use has bleared and blackened —the unjust, unmerited and mean ci lous, against some reputations in almost every community,-it 16 somewhat re- remarkable that there is to be found in circle in life numbers of both and female, who potas tenes ves upon their re- spectability, and who would almost go into con- vulsions if any one should hint that their charac- ters for truth and veracity were doubtful, roll it as a sweet morse] under, or rather over their tongues, and emit it from their lips with as much justo as they would the most beautiful Passage: From Holy Writ, or Yow Night Thoughts. Surely, if the devotees of this detestable gossip- ers’ moloch could have portray before them one tithe of the misclilef that it is constantly do- ing, they would enter into covenant with ir lips that the detestable phrase should never again e them. s We have been induced to make these remarks by bette ae nces Rede ig genee’ trans; m our city, a em a report, which was put in ciretbision &hew days since, to the effect that the Regulators, as they are called, orthe States Hose y, were coming over on Thanksgiving Day to cut down the Know Noth- ing pole at the fish dock. At every corner of the streets, in the market, at the church doors, among every group of men and boys, this was the only theme of sion. And, notwithstanding the Teport was in itself too downright absurd and, ridiculous to be entertained for a single moment by any except the most credulous lovers of gos- at, it soon spread through the town, and be- came the only string we could hear ha: pon by the lovers of the marvellous. The It was uite a warlike demonstration upon the part of the more valiant sort of the fish dock polites. And we suppose that had a dozen strangers been seen at any time during the day going in the direction of the pole, that lots of Wolvers and Booby’s knives would have leaped from their hiding places, and the imaginary invading part: would have been snags upon and extermi- mated, to the great scan ing that some mischief ep yo be brewing to mar the peace of the day—to disgrace our town—we inquired diligently as to the foundation of the rumor, and from every one, even those who as- sured us that they knew it to be even so, we re- ceived the same ridiculous My, A fete say.
