Tosupply this universal and ever-existing want, we design shortly commencing the publication of such a Directory in the Daily Star, and to that end bave directed an agent te call on our princi- Pal business firms, and give them an opportunity of being represented in so desirable an arrange- ment. The circulation of the Daily Star is prob- ably double that of any other daily paper in the world, published ina city of the population of Washington. In the District of Columbia, it is taken in nearly every famity—certainly in nearly every one able to pay six cents per week fora newspaper—and, besides, falls into the hands of nearly every stranger that comes into the Dis- trict. The advantage of being represented ina conspicuous Alphabetical Business Directory, appearing daily in its columns, requires no com- mentatour hands. In these days of general busi- ness shrewdness and enterprise, such an arrange- ment, we fancy, has only to be suggested to be understood and appreciated ——- Tux on Paaver Mexrincs.—There was & pretty general attendance upon the exercises of the 5 o’clock, p. m_., prayer meetings at the Eng- lish Lutheran Church, corner of Eleventh and I. streets, yesterday. Revs. Dr. Smith, Butler, Sunderland, and others, were present, and took part in the exercises. After the singing of a bymn, beginning “To day, if ye will hear his voice, Now is the time to make yeur choice.”” Rev. Dr. Smith announced the special object of prayer for the evening, which was ‘“ Prayer for the rich blessing of God upon the means em- ployed for the instruction and conversion of the young”? Prayer was then made, in pursuance of this ob: Jeet, by Rev. Dr. Johnson; afier which portions of the Scriptures were read. Rev. Dr. Batler then read several requests— among which was one from a young lady zs fol- lows I wanted very much to stand up and be prayed for at the meeting yesterday, but could not; I don’t know whether | shall be at the meet- ing to-day or not, but whether I shall be there or not, t waut ail the Christians present to pray for me”? Ur. Sunderland then addressed an earnest and affecting prayer to the Divine Power, in pursu- anee with the several requests Some interesting remarks were then made by Rev. Mr. Gurley upon the subject of the prayers which bad bren made, and yave some appropti- a gzestious upon the moral condition of the » aud upon the subject of their religious enlture Otber remarks followed, and prayers of more than usual fervor were addressed to the Almizb- ty 1m behalf of the young Rev Dr. Smith related en affveting incident of the reliyious power of a well-instructed little child over men At 73g o'clock, p.m ,a stig | was held here under the a es of the Youny Meun’s Christian Association of this city. An especial object of this meeting was to bear en account given by Rev. Dr. Sunderland, of his late trip to several of the Northern cities, and more especially of his observations and experience in the great prayer- meeting movements in Philadelphia. The exercises were opened by Rev. Dr. Gurley, who read portions of the Scriptures, and ad- dressed a prayer to the Divine Throne. A bymn Was sung, commencing *- Blow ye the trumpet, blow, The gladly solema sound » After which, Dr. Sunderland was introduced to the congregation, and proceeded to give an ac- count of bis observations of the religious move- ments yoing forward in Philadelphia. After speeking ef the manner tn which, in apostolic times, the brethren traveled from place to place, and interchanged words of encouragement and comfort, he said that now it was the blessed priv- Christians to go from place to place and ilar tidings of the work of grace which Was now going on throughout our land. As he looked back upon the scenes through which he passed during the ten or twelve days of bis ab- sence, it seemed to be a great moving panorama ef sovereign grace. Every day introduced new scenes, and almost every hour new objects of in- terest and of thanksg It would be impos- sible for any max to give anything like a full and correct account or impression of the working of the Spirit of God, as it was being demonstrated iu the various cities of the North, and particularly in the city of Philadelphia. The speaker then proceeded to give an account of the manner in which the great dail prayer meetings were conducied at Jayne’s Hall, in Chestuut street. ‘These meetings were held under the auspices of the Young ps a 's Christian Association of Philadelphia. The hall is per- baps the largest in Chestant street, and but afew steps from the Girard House, and the prayer micetings ace held during the hour from 12 m. to p.m. The reom will hold perhaps four thou- sand people, and every day at about five minutes to 2 o'clock a crowd of business men might be seen rushing upto the bouse ef prayer. Ina few Moments there would be a congregation of from fifteen buudred to two thousand persons, about half of them ladies, and thea the prayer meet would begin. The exercises are led principally by the laity—one daf perhaps by a fi.eman, an- other day by # lawyer, and again by a merchant, or by ascientific man. This arrangement adds Interest and variety to the meetings. The prayers and exhortations are limited to three minutes each, and not a moment of time is Wasted; every- thing moves on with order and regularity, no noise or confusion mars the d=corum and pro- Priety which always prevails. The three minute rule is indispensable in congregations so large as those gathered there each day, in order nof¥o ex- clude any one from the privilege of speaking. Dr.S then proceeded to give a detailed ac- coant of the origin of the Jaynes’ Hall prayer- meeting, tracing it back to the exertions of a sin- gle man—a member of the Yoong Men’s Chris- tion Association of that city. To provide for the wants of a class who were entirely destitute of Feligious influences, who never attend a church f i or enmity or indiiference cansed to be constructed three mouster teuts, pable of holding from four to five thousand people, which they had pitched in the suburban portions of the city,and ia which prayer meetings were held every night, and reaching every Sabbath. In this manner the ‘efits of the Gospel had been extended to a class of people ameug whom were persons who had not, perbaps, been inside the Charch of God for mauy years, and peshaps bad never attended divine worship, aud the amount of good effected by their agency was incalculabie But the most interesting movement, however, Was amony the seventy-two tire companies there. Twenty-two daily prayer meetings are held under the direction of the Young Men's Christian As- sociation, generally from five to six o’clock inthe evening ; and so successfully has this work gone forward that it is expetted that they will be able to establish the prayer oe, in every one of these engine houses. A rema:knble feature of the Cifect of the power of the Spirit of God wu a converted fireman ts exhibited in the zeal with which be works in the cause of salvation. He Rees into it with the same ardor and impetuosity which he would mawifest in running to a fire to save a burning house from the destroying tlame, and this spirit has brought the firemen into the prayer meetings, and the consequence is tuat in some of the companies as Liyh as forty members bave been converted. The speaker went on to say that he believed this work was but just be- gun, and that the responsibility of Christians everywhere in relation to it was great, particular- ly in the city of Washington. J pon the conclusion of bis remarks prayer was made by Rev. Mr. Butler; a hymn was sung. and after a few appropriate remarks by Mr. T. J. Magruder, the benediction was prouounced by the Rev. Mr Sampson. ‘Pax Srxxet Osstavctions —It was whispered about the streets adjacent to the Centre Market that the Mayor had ordered the Police to have all obstructions in the streets and avenues removed, and to prevent such obstructions in future. The first tangible evidence of any such order that we have seeu or beard of, was a notice to an auction- eci’s salesman not to offer auy goods for sale on the space in front of the Bank of Washington. A bailifl, however, was placing goods there for sale, and he bad received no notice. The remo- Val of obstructions from the streets will provably be. approved of by all, if the law ts strictly en- forced. Many have violated the law on this sub- ject, for years past, mereiy beeause others bave been permiticd to go it, but If the law Is enforced thewt respect to persons, no one will be u Ls order has been issued the police will have something to do for a few days, ior the obstruc- Mens are Humerous, auc some of them have beea created <t consideravie expense.

Graxp Lover or tax Uniten States, I. 0. O. F.—Fifth Day.—The installation of the new- ly-elected officers took place yesterday, when addresses were made by the Most Worthy Grand Sires, George W. Race, of Louisiana, and Sam’) Craighall, of Ohio, the former retiring from and Spa! entering apon the discharge of his offi- juties. Representative Stuart, of the District of Co- lumbia, offered the following preamble and res- olutions, which were referred to a committee of nine: Whereas, on the 26th of April, 1859, forty years will have elapsed since the organization of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows upon this continent; and whereas that beloved Order,which we cherish as among the best agents which have been vouchsafed to man for the amelioration of the condition of the race, has received the most signal manifestations of the rotecting care and ianship of an All-wise Providence,testified y the extraordinary success which has accom- panied its mission wherever established; and whereas it is the just duty of hearts grateful for the Divine prenacton of the great cause of hu- manity in Au ich we are engaged to acknowledge the fostering care and love with which our be- loved Order bas been so bountifuliy blessed; therefore be it Resolved, That the 26th day of April, 1859, be and is hereby set apart by the Grand odge of the United States, to be observed by the entire mem- bership under its jurisdiction, as a day of thanks- giving to Divine Providente for the unexampled pe bo which has attended the Order since ts o\ ganization on the American continent. Kesolved, That on that day, at the city of —_: it be and is hereby recommended to all the mem- bership of the Order to assemble under a pro- priate State organizations, in furtherance of this object, for the purpose of celebrating the day with such becoming ceremonies as may be deemed suitable to the occasion. Resolved, That the M. W. Grand Sire appoint acommittee of nine members of the Grand Lodge, who shall be charged with all the details of this subject The committee on correspondence presented a report on various subjects, which speaks of the decrease of membership in the older jurixdic- tions, but of its progression in the new ones, ex- pecially tn the far West and the Pacific coast— their growth and prosperity having been unex- ampled in the history of the Order. solutions expressive of the sense of the Grand Lodge on the death of P.G. 8. Howell Hopkins of Pa , were adopted. The remainder of the day’s session was occu- pied in the consideration and adoption of Teports of committees. Srreet Nuisances.—it seems very desirable on account of the public health, as well as for the good character of our metropolitan city, that the law probibiting, under a penalty, the throwing or laying of filth, offai, garbage, shavings, and any kind of refuse in the peat streets, alleys, or public reservations, should be strictly and impar- tally enforced; but it seems also desire. en- ever the parties are known, that their attention should be called to any apparent violation of the Taw; and if such notice be disregarded, the of- fending parties should be dealt with as the law directs and requires in such cases. Citizens and others who are fined for violations of the city or- dinance in relation to nuisances, after being duly notified te remove the same, cannot complain, should the penalty imposed be to the full extent of the law. Wedoubt, however, whether there be any law, except that of courtesy, to govern the otticer in the matter of giving notice to parties who infringe the law. But of this we feel ax sured, that it was not the intention of the Corpo- ration law makers to punish any offenders against the law ina summary or vindictive spirit, and without the usual courtesy being extended to him by the executive officer. We make these re- ma ks at this time, hoping they may have the effect of causing the immediate removal of many Street and alley nuisances which are an abomina- tion to the nasal organs of our community. Tue Crepitors of the firm of Pairo & Nourse held a meeting at the school room of Prof. Rich- ards, corner of New York avenue and Four- teenth street, last night. About one hundred were present. Hon. Horatio King was called to the chair, and Richard T. Morsell was appointed Secretary. The committee of investigation into the cendition of the affairs of Pairo & Nourse which bad been appointed at a previous meeting of the creditors, reported that their assets are sufticient, if properly managed, to pay ail de- mands againstthem. Afler some discussion, a written contract or agreement was signed by the creditors, wherein the entire assets of the firm were given up to the creditors in exchange for a release to the firm of all claims heid against it on their part. The meeting then elected Messrs. Wm. Thomas and Bayard Smith as Trustees on bebalf of the creditors to make arrangements with Mr. Edes, the former trustee, to receive the assets from him and settle up the indebtedness in the most satis- factory manner they could. The meeting then adjourned. A CcRiosity —Yesterday we were led by cu- riosity, to notice the city dealers preparing their stands in the Centre Market for the sales to day At Newmyer’s stand was a bank of enormous sweet pe atoes. one of which he presented to ax with the remark ‘that will serve your family for one meal.”? {t will undoubtedly, and have sowe tospare.

Tue OLp Sreaxer’s Desx.—Workmen still continue the operation of tearin away the Speak- er’s desk from the old Honse of Representatives, and the job seems to be one of some labor.
