LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. 1" Though « The Star” is printed on the fastest steam press in use seuth ef Baltie More, its edition is se large as to require it te be put te press at early heur, Adver- tisements, t lore, should be sent by 12 ise they may mes appear Mntil the next day. nd Ovm AtruapaticaL Business Digectort Will beclosed up, in a few days, for one year, Gaily, im the Daily Star. Additions of respecta- ble firms will be made to it on immediate appli- cation to the agent, at the Star office. N. B. Additions cannot be made after the Di- Tectory js closed up for the year. Hovss Fursisutne Goovs.—The Star’s read- ers, curious to note the progressing improve- ‘ments in an important branch of house furnish- ing, were advised a day or two since to visit the Ware-rooms of Clagett, Dodson & Co., where a Stock of household 4. goods—from the com- monest toweling up to the most elaborate car- peting that mechanical skill and artistic taste can produce, is to be seen and to be purchased for far less money than such goods could be bought for im this latitude not many years since . and, to-day, it affords us — to rec- ommend tothe public interested the economy of bousehold arrangements and the spear My of making them with as much taste as Possible, to call at the ware-rooms of another house- furnisbieg establishment in another line. We refer to that of C. W. Boteler, Pennsyivania avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets, which ‘an any house in the world, situated in a city of the ulation of Washington—an important branc its trade being to ship elegant and recherche plated ware, china ware, composition ornaments, cutlery, &c.,to the South and West, on orders from persons of taste and wealth sojourning in oer midst in the winter. He deserves infinite epedit for thus bringing into notice various Amer- jean manufactures, which of late have come to drive out of use well nigh entirely, their rivals of European production. If we are not mistaken, he was the first extensive dealer who exhibited on bis shelves the American piated ware, which is now admitted to be the finest manufactured in the world—equal to the best European in finish and darability, while as far superior to any made in Europe in design as one can conceive. ‘The house manufacturis these particular goods to the order of Mr.C. Boteler, has its head and front in Dorchester, Massachusetts, we believe That the reader may comprebend the impoasi- bility of doing justice to its skill with the pea, we advise him to inspect its wares at Boteler'x— its combination castors, some of which embrace butter dishes, fruit dishes, egg stands, cups and spoons, all within the elaborate and exquisitely ornamented castor stand, yet so artistically ar- rangéd as at first to deceive the beholder into the idea that all before him is simply a orgeous ar- ——— of dinner castors. The House import their own French china, from plain lerns up to as fine and elaborate in their embe! lishments, as any ever got up by the most celebrated New York houses. They also seil a Jarge quantity of @ peculiar china ware manufactured in Georgia, which is not behind a imported from France, either in durability or finish. On the whole, it is superior to any other American china we have so far seen. We know not whence their Parian marble ware, from chamber xets to exquisite statuary, comes, or their bronzed ornaments. We only know that no House in this country show a reater variety of such yoods, or such goods in ter taste or at lower prices. They ave, of late, become indispensablesx m all well-furnished domestic establishments, it will be remembered The sale and ware rooms of C. W. Boteler consist of three apartments, 50 by 130 feet. The lower is devoted for the most part to the exhibi- tion of rich Parian marble goods, china, plate, Bohemian, glass, and a thousand nick nacks, ali indispensable in housekeeping. The second floor is the exhibition room for rich rosewood, mabogany, and other furniture, mirrors, &c ; and on the third floor one findsa large collection of ordinary chamber furniture, &e. A stroll through these different apartments affords a capital idea, indeed, of the progress made by late improvements in the production of such goods— tm their style and finish, and also in their tie ss ste now sold at much lower Prices than he: fore. Tux Uxtow Praver Muztine was led by Rev Dr. Gurley on yesterday afternoon, and was a ticularly impressive meeting. The sub “* For success to attend the Preaching @f the Gos- pel and the agencies employed by the Church to bring men to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus.’ Prayers were offered by Rev. Drs. Run. deriand and Granberry and Mr C. Connolly Rev. Dr. Gurley made a few touching remarks on the subject before the meeting—the imp ort- ance of the ministry and all other agencies in the og work, and the necessity of looking to God for the increase. Rev. Dr. Sunderland reviewed the sentiments of the Spans which had been sung; aiso spoke of tbe work of the Hoty Spirit in the preaching of the Gospel. and exborted Christians to pray for the salvation of sinners Rev. Mr Carothers remarked that ministers stood “ in Christ's stead, beseeching men.” By the foolishness of preaching, men were made wise unto salvation. Who ts sufficient for these pe Great success bas attended ‘the things of Christ’ in this country. When our [ndepend- ence was declared, we had only 1,440 preachers; now, 40,000; then, 1,d4u churches; now, 45,600, valued at $100,000,000, and sufficient to accom. modate a millions of peole. In this city, in 1850, ealy 37 churches; now, 50,with a like in- crease of ministers, and with a like increase of accommodations—now, sittings for 2 Ow), valued at over $300,000. Wha: success’ Besides, over 500,000 copies of the Word of Lif d millions of tracts ave angually circulated over the world ‘These leaves are for the healing of the nations God's operations are on & vast scaie—ours should corres! The congregation sung the accustomed bymns, and was then dismissed with the Benediction. ~ Cas. H. Barretr.—This unfortunate young man, whose existence draws so near toa close, is making such a use of the few days left to bim upon this earth as, it is to be hoped, will prepare bim for an entrance upon the life that lies be- yond the grave. Although not without some faint hopes of a commutation of his dreadful sen- tence to imprisonment for life, bis time is all oc- cupied in religious exerci with the exception ofa brief space each t for necessary sleep. pom, Learned the ec mned man reads reii- gious » OF receives visits from bi: intual adviser and the Sisters of Mercy who attend at bis cell regutarly, and bis nights, up to 12 and 1 o'clock, are passed by him in prayer.

Disor Ly Conpuct —Recently anew squad of vagrants bave arrived in this city to live upon the charity of a community annually imposed upou by these worthless outcasts of the work- houses and prisons of the States. In addition to these @ number of well-dressed drunkards have beea roving about our streets, insulting ladies and gentlemen npon the sidewalks. Last even- Ing, some of this class began to operate on the Avenue, and were advised by officer Norwood to zobome They started, and soon forgot the of. ficer’s advice, and returned in a nore disorderly soanner than before. In order to save the feel ings of pedestrians constantly passing, Mr. Nor- wood procured a night's lodyiug for them in the guard-nouse. — [comMeNicaTED.

Int! a ‘st place,we have rdly half enough Primary and District Schools for the accommodation of the children in the city, and those we have are provided, in many instances, with most miserable accommodations. Secondly, it would not become the Corporation to provide a Gee School, at which a few chil- dren could obtai ed destitute of the means to give very a chil- dren rudimental instruction, and compel nually to turn hundreds away from the doors of our Primary Schools. The tajustice of the con- templated measure, under such circumstances, is obvious. Let measures be adopted, first, to mul- tiply the Primary and District Schools until all can be accommodated who apply for admission n good educations when we are led an- into them, and then it will be time enough to _ for such as desire to avail themselves of e advantages of a High School education at the public expense. —_—_ Reticious Merrines.—Protracted meetings are still in progress in the following churches, of the Methodist denomination : Wesley Chapel, Fleteber Chapel, Union Chapel, Foundry Chapel, Southern Methodist Chureb, Methodist Protes- tant Church, Niath street.

The meetings at Fletcher Chapel bave been ——— several weeks, and the interest during hat time bas been very great. ‘This is a mission chapel at the corner of Fourth street and New York avenue, and under the charge of Rev.

The following motto, handsomely worked in cedar branches; @ sort of charm to all the other decoratjons of the room, and the neat man- ner in which the work was executed, was a sub- ject of gencral admiration: “The glory of the cbildren is their fathers.” The following compitmentary and farewell addresses were delivered; which were replied to ina very feeling and felicitous manner by Mr. Maguire: Latin oration, in Prose, by Mr. Martin. of Va ; English oration, = , by Mr. Hoban. of D.
