E:xxcurston —Amony the many attractive ex- cursions of the present season, we beg leave to call special attention to the annual excursion of the Sabbath school of St. Peter’s Church, whieh is advertised to come oif to-inorrow. ‘The teachers and directors of the Sabbath school have, with great discretion, selected Glymont pavilion as the -eene of their merry-masiugs on thix eccas- lon. Tuey Lave provided the be-t music which it was possible for them to find, for the expec ial benefit of the yotaries of © Terpsichore,”? and Provisions ad Itbitwm Lave been provided for wherewith ali to satisfy the yastronomic desires of those who may honor themselves by participat- in the festivities of the occasion Schroder, a valuable member of rated band, bas organized a first rate cotillen band, and composed various airs wppropriate to the occasion, which will be per- formed by bis corps with great eclat. To those who are acquainted with the numerous, fascinat- ing. and beautiful igdies attached to the above Sabbath school, no words need be wasted by wa of an incentive to them to go and be happy wit the company on Thursday. To those who have hitherto been denied the honor of mixing, ina social w: with our friends of St. Peter’s Sab- bath school, we say, do not fail to disgorge the paltry sui of ff y cents in exchange for a day of unalloyed pleasure at G!ymont pavilion. [twill never be regretted ; bat, on the contrary, unless we @ gee, ase, wrong in our estimate of the matter, it will be 3 day long to be remembered by the guests who may be present on the oecas- ion, gaa day which, in the tature, iucy wijlallude to as one of the happiest in their iives.

Doubtless many will protit by the opportunity to aalte with their friends at the eustern section of the eity in those interesting religious meetings. Gas Exptosions —Kefering to the late serious accident which bappened to Senator Chandler and bis daughter, at the Senator’s residence in Detroit, Michigan, by an explosion of gas, Quan- treo, the Washington correspondent of the Alex- andria Sentinel, says: “1 bad @ narrow escape myself last fall, ‘The placing of large station metres in the new wings of the Capitol, rendered a change necessary in the position of the pipes aud metres that supplied the vid building. One of the metres (as large as a hogshead) was placed back of the furnace under the old ball of Representatives, the connections made about six o’clock, p. m.,and the yas turned ou. Upon visiting the Capitol at nivht, | found the building filed with yas. Afraid to carry a figbt, £ traced the leak in the dark, Ly the smell, uutil | found it im a pipe near the metre, to which @ connecti ad beeu made, aud afterwards dis- counected, aud which had been overlooked by the gas-titters. The gas rushed from the hole like steam from a boiler, and J} was thus enabled to find the leak, and temporarily piug it until morming. ‘Phe danger trois the explosion arose from the fact that the furnaces were in full blast within thirty feet of the leuk, and au explosion Was liable to take place at auy muiment.”?

A fine band of music and a most competent caterer have been engaged, and uader the supervision of the energetic commit- tee the guests of the company will have them- selvex to blame if the occasion passes without being ‘‘of all the year the imerriest, maddest day.” Tum Sewerace —When the trench for the water mains bad been dug to the maiu sewers it remained for a (ime at that depth, and many supposed that the pipes would pass directly through the main sewers and the city would thereby be put to considerabie cost This idea bas vauls! since the pipes are being laid. The trench bax been dug considerably below the sewers, and the pjpes pass under them. This morning the trench was carried under the beavy barrel sewers across (he avenue at Sixth street, which are frequently tilled with water from the canal. Atthis peint the sewer lea and yave the workmen mucb trouble, aud made the work very unpicaxant to the laborers because of the offensive etfavia.

The row was not of giby duration, but sutticiently so toadd another blotch to the reputation of the persons (not our fellow-citizens) who bave always been the leaders in those rows; and also to add ano- ther injury, to many already inflicted, by these vagabonds, upon our city. A more unprovoked, dastardly, and murderous assault on quiet, unof- fending persons, never occurred in this city. It displayed the characteristics of the rowdy as- sassin and murderer in perfection The conduct of the officers of the Northern Liberties, and the members, indicated a desire for the preservation of the laws, and the restoration of order.
