LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. (> Thengh « The Star” is printed on the lastest steam press in mse south ef Balti- mere, its edition is se large as te require it te be put te press at an carly hour, Adver- tisements, therefore, should be sent in by 12 e@’clock, 3 etherwise they may net appear watil the next day. ———EE—E———— Dead —The printers, especially, in tbis city, “will grieve to learn of the death of the late John H_ Trenbolm, announced elsewhere in the Star’s columns to-day. He was not only one of the first craftsmen—printers—in the land, but a gentle- ‘man of extensive and varied literary, classical and scientitic attainments, rendering him an ornament to society, to whom none has been more useful in bis sphere He leaves a bereaved widow and two orphans, to whom bis wide spread reputation for kind- ness of heart, unvarying integrity, intelligence, and attainments, far beyond the average of the times, will be some consolation, we trust, for their heavy bereavement involved in his demise. = Tue Suittsovian Museu —This interesting department of the Smithsonian {nstitution is des- tined to be one of the chief attsactions of visitors to the Metropolis; and the work of preparation fora speedy exhibition of all the collections to the public at as early a period as possible ts pro- xressing as rapidly as the proper arrangement of the specimens will permit. We have before referred to the fact that the new arrangement and classification of the specimens is vastly different from the arrangement at the Patent Office; and, in addition to ‘he room it #ives for the display of many specimens and col- lections never before exhibited, it affords the vis- itor ample opportunity to thoroughly exemine each particular article without difficulty Up to this time, the cases for exhibition are those upon the floor of the hall; and many visitors have been delighted with the contemplation of the very ia- teresting collections they contain. Thecomplete acrangeiment of the galleries will add greatly to the interest of the museum; since in them will be arranged large collections never before ex- a to the public for want of room in the oid It is the desire ef Professor Henry that the gal- leries shall be ready for the inspection of the Public early in December, and we learn from good authority that bis desire will be gratified by the fu'filment of his directions to teat end ‘The classitication will be made by Prof. Bayard, the talented Naturalist of the Iastitution, whose well known eneryy is a sure guaranty that all his work will be accomplished in time, and the me- chanical arrangements being assigned to Mr Jobn Varden, who for years has been engayed in this peculiar business, principally in the National Gallery, therey an be little doubt of the galleries being ready at the desired time. Once in a while evidence is left at the Institn- tution that ill-bred creatures sneak into the build- ing when it is open to the public An instance recently occurred : Just before Gen. Zachary Taylor was confined by bis last illness, Vanderwort, the artist, took a sketch of him for & portrait. but before he could complete it, the ar- tist died Sbortly after the General died, and the sketch was deposited for Preservation in its unfinished state. The painting was placed,a few days ago, in the corridor leading to the libra- ry, he a the floor, to await the Preparation of a suitable place for it. One of those !ll-bred crea- tures passing it, squirted from bis filthy jaws, a stream of todacco juice upon the face, distivuring the entire painting. The Painting was taken by Mr. Varden, and considerable time wan Spent by him in cleausing it; put the difficulty of remov- ing the filthy blur, would almost induce one to believe that the poison of the fell W's heart had iafected his jaws. But of the galleries. Thecases in the northern gallery are now being prepared, and the advan- tage of the new arrangement will be perceived at ouce by those who remember the crowded condition of the Japanese collection, of Commo- dore Perry, when in the National Gallery, when they see it in its present condition, sv arranged that each article may be perfectly examined Lieutenant Herndon’s collection of the natural Productions of the country adjacent to the Ama- zon river, and the specimens of the manufactures of the inhabitants, which has never been exhib- ited since its receipt in the Metropolis, now occupies a position in the gallery, and is very tastefully and conveniently arranged, and will doubtless attract much attention from the scien atific as well as the curious visitor. The speci- mens of minerals, gums, woods, in their natural state. are numerous and perfect, while those of the manufactures are various, and some of them very ingenious and curious, well worth a long walk for examination. The African collection, deposited by Rev. Dr. R. R. Gurley, formerly the Secretary of the American Colonization Society, in just being placed in position This collection also has never been exposed since its arrival here, some yearsazo. The curiosities of this collection con- sist principally of the useful and orname tal articles manufactured by the natives, in some of which great ingenuity has been displayed by the sable artisans. Water jars, baskets, bags, curi- eusly ornamented gourds, cloth, pipes. clothes, &e.” Among these we noticed a haversack. so skillfally wronght that we at first doubted its manufacture by anative A rude harp used by the natives wiil attract the attention aad excite a smile with those who are acquainted with the history of that musical instrun nt, and know the perfection to which it has attained. Two brass coins, the one of about the value of $1.50, the other $3, are among the specimens. ‘The ‘size and weight of them would lend one notacquainted to suppose them anything else than money There are many — of the charms or “gree gr which the ignorant natives saper- stitiously beiseve will confer on the wearer health, prosperity, long life, good luck, or any blessing he may desire. The hammocks made by the natives are excelleat specimens of their ingenuity After examining all those specimens of the me- ebanical skg!! of the uncivilized Africans we ap- proach nearer to civilization, ang roceed to in- spect the work of the colonists at Liberia.

Phey give evidence of their ability-e Provide for their own comfort with the material obtained in that country. The specimens illustrative of the na- tural history of the co antry are not so,numerous. but are very interesting. We would rema:k, in conclusion, that the orni- thological specimens in the Herndon collection Bre not yet ready for final arrangement. A com- plete classification of this department is to be made by an experienced ornithologist, who will begin this important work. The ornithological collection deposited by Lieutenant Herndon 1s very beaatifal, and will, when fally Port. attract much attention. be taste and industry displayed by Professor Henry and the scientific corps connected with the institution in the prosecution of the arduous du- ties devolving upon them, will not fail to be per- ceqved and commended by th- thousands of sci- entific and int et Visiters to Washington who will spend of their time in the hails of that magni fic world-renowned institu- tioa - Tux Tuxatee —The great historical drama of “The Iron Mask,”’ the performance of which Was postponed from Friday evening in conse- quence of the illness of Miss Parker, will cer- tainly be rendered to-night, that young lady having sufficiently recovered from ber sudden and severe attack. The effort, we need scarcely remind our reading public, is one of the most brilliant and effective recorded among the recent triumphs of the bistronic art. So perfect is the simulation of Mr Wallack in this extraordi Production that the eifect borders apon reality, and it is difficult for the auditor to divest his mind of the belief that the oppressed and grief- worn bei: to the Crown of France stands befwe them in the person of Mr. Wallack. The play is ably cast, and will create a sensation On Monday night Mr. W. E.

This event occurted tweive years ago, since which period Mr. Burton has pitt ass @ fame secend to no comedian of the age. The support rendered Mr. Bucton will be very etf-c- tive.

The prom enade coucert and levee will, as usual, oceupy the earlier hours of the occasion, and sweet music cheer the assemblzge. At IU o'clock, engazement cards will be called into use, and penctis be in demand; the merry cotillon will soon succeed the stately march, and then, in turn, waitz, quadiill-, gallopade and reel, will mage the nigtt joyous. A competent caterer will be on band with re- fresLments, and all those arrangements which bave on former occasions conduced so admiiably to general enjoyment will be made. In fact, the Levee will be (ue success of the season. Normat Association —The meeting of the Normal As-ociation of teachers and pupils of the Lefayette Iostitute, Franklin Academy, and Western Acedemy, was heid yesterday afternoon at Corcorsn’s Hall.

Marnororitan Macmantce’ Institvrs.—An adjourned meeting of the Metropolitan Mecban- ies’ Institute was held at the Aldermens’ room, City Hall, last night, Thos. U. Walter, Esq., in the chair. A large representation of the mem- bers of the association was present, and after filling vacancies In the Board of management, the propriety and expediency of holding another national exhibition was discussed. The Secre- tary read the report of the committee recently ap- pointed to consider the proprity of this measure in its various bearings. The report first goes on to set forth the opinion of the committee that the — condition of the institute is far from cred- ble to the management, and not werthy the metropolitan character of the city. They recom- mend that a national exhibition be beld in May, 1860, in Judiciary Square, provided the Place can be obtained of the corporate authorities ; that the building erected be allowed to stand until after thesinanguration ball in 1861, when a considera- ble sum could be realized in rent. The commit- tee think it would not be advisable to include an agricultural exhibition on account of the season being unfavorable. ook also think that the coming exhibition should exceed, in every re- spect. those of any preceding year; and believe that this city possesses superior advantages, owing to its freedom from jealousies and rival. — which agitate-more thoroughly commercial cities. Mr. Mitchell believed that the exbibitioncould be given on the plan proposed by the committee for three thousand dollars to ‘in with; and he suggested that this sum be raise py cenecintivn, He would almost pledge himself for the amount of one thousand dollars. Something should be done, or the thing should be abandoned altogeth- er. He was not in favor of dissolving the [asti- tate; it was of too much moment to young men. He bad felt the want of such an institution when he was young; and there were hundreds and thousands of young men and boys going to de- struction simply for want of some fostering care of this description. There was nota single room in this city open to the young, except that of the Young Men’s Christian Association, which was thronged every evenin Mr. Bradley reconded the views expressed by Mr. Mitchell, and deprecated the decreasing in- the Institute’ He did not think that a guard could be drummed up at the subsequent meetings, were not something done to attract the public attention Mr. Stansbury spoke of the time when the Ac- sociation was formed and of the broad scheme of usefulness which they then had before them, which, he feared, had been in a measure forgot- ten. Among other things, they were to establish reading rooms, a library, a school of design, se- cure practical lecturers, and provide for an exbi- bition, annual er otherwise. The Speaker was for the exhibition as a means of carrying out the other parts of the scheme of the Institut as laid down in the constitution Mr. Brent expressed his entire co-operation in the views of the committee, and was pleased that a departinent of the exhibition would be espe- cially set apart for the fine arts. Mc. Pepper was in favor of starting with a sub- scription, and offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : Kesolved, That the Board of Management have authority to hold a fourth exhibition, if, in their judgment, it shall seem expedient, at such time and place as they may deem proper. The Institute then adjourned The Board of Management then went into special meeting. the President in the Chair Mr. Mitchell, from the committee on the school of design, reported that a school of design would be found to be a source of great usefulness. The committee thought the course of instruction should be contined to architectural drawing, which would be under the direction of the pres- ident = They recommended that it should be opened in December, the pupils to furnish their own drawing materials. Messrs. Stansbury and B.adicy bad consented to deliver courses of lec- tures—the iatter upon domes:ic relations. The school should be kept in Operation six months, and the cost would not exceed $250. The Chair stated that it was bis intention to give the school a set of drawings which would be found of great use in teaching that art; and Mr. Janney offered the use of one of bis rooins over his store for the purposes of the school The committee's report was una ously adopted, and they were authorized to arry it into operation. A committee of twenty members was then a pointed to make arrangements for the exhibition; after which the meeting adjourned. Tunes Tuovsaxn Dottars SToLEN FROM A Cononep Man By a GyPsey Woman.—Necro- MANOY ts. CREDULITY.—A short time since, a respectable colored hack driver, named Cornelius Clark, living on K street, in the First Ward, was most outrageously swindied by a Gypsey woman under the following circumstances: She went to Clark’s house, afier having previously ascer- taived that be had a sick child, and asked bin if he waated bis fortune told, and was refused by Clark; whereupon she gravely informed him tbat he had a child which aa been sick for several years, and that she could cure it ina few days. Completely mystitied by tne woman's bints, and de vas to afford bis child all the relief from its tanate apy seers (it having been snbject to ut Hts for along period,) Mr. Cla k brought his child into the presence of the Preteuded sor- ceress, who instantly named its complaint, and Proposed tocure itin about three weeks. She demanded, and received, a retainer of &5, and then performed some hocus-pocus ever it, and laid itin bed. Under its bh she placed the 25, wrepped in 2 piece of pape. Each day she visited the child, and each da demanded additional meney, which Clark wave ber, insums varying from $10 to $10 at atime, and which she ulways placed under the child's Lead; and, strange to say, the littl+ suffer, who had been accustomed to almost daily attacks of its dreadful distemper, remained entirely free fom them during the three weeks that this “medicine woman”? attended it. At last, when Ciark bad given her ail of bis ready money, amounting to about five hundred dollars, she in- formed Lim that she was about to place a spell upon the patieut which would forever relieve it of its pains, but that she would require the sum of $2.00 to perform tue operation with. Com- pictely “bamboozled” by ber arts, Clark went away and mortgaged his house and lot to the Bank of Washington for two thousand dollars, receiving from the clerk twenty $100 notes, which he placed in the Es pee; 's hauds, and which she disposed of as she io fies with the previous amounts. She then made her victim shell out wll the jeweiry and siiver ware in his house, coasisting of a gold watch and chain, a mber of bracelets, ear-rings, finger-rings, east-pins, gold shirt studs, necklaces, sliver id yoblets, to the value of about tive ‘d dollars, which he placed in her hands. She now got ready for her last performance, and -equested Clark to go up stairs and bring various articles, and a large napkin in which to Ue up the vatuables He soon returned with the desired articles, which she spread out, and lay- ing, as Le supposed, all the cash, jewelry, etc , in a handkerchief upon the napkin, made her dap= take it by the corners and tie all securely together and lay it under the sick child's head. Sue then left and did not return again. Aftera few days, sne not appearing, and he being afraid todistab the bundle for Ter of destroying the magic spell, yet becoming suspicious that all was not right, sent to her boarding-house, where ke was informed she bad been gone from there several days. His suspicion was now suificiently strong, to overcome his fears for the safety of bis ebild, and rushing tothe room he snatched the bundle and tore itopen. What was his dismay at finding nothing within it but a few co Cents and some pieces of Esper cut in the shape of bank notes; every sin, article of value was gone, and he ruined! ie “fair Sybil’’ has not yet been found, although the police have been on the search for her whereabouts for several days.

Vanison.—We dined yesterday at Hammack’s, on ribs of venison shot in the wild hills border- ing Four-mile Run, within four or five miles of this city. The ‘subject’? was a young buck, scarcely a year old, as fat as butter, and as lus- cious = acanvass back in the height of its sea- son. We mention the fact becau-e at this time it is extraordinary to find fine venison in this mar- ket. How the deer came to find its way, uomo- lested, from the glades in the vicinity of Mount Vernon (where t! are plentiful) to such close Proximity to Washington city as the point at which it was ‘brought down,”’ isa plage! The fact that it was found and killed there, will doubtless cause the hills skirting Four-mile Run to be abundantly hunted, immediately. Ham- mack, by the by, is just now displaying such a collection of game as we never before saw in Washington; Frciuding canvass backs,which are apparently ready to melt in the mouth of the gourmet. There were hanging in his larder, yes- terday, some seven different kinds of wild ducks, partridges, pheasants, prairie hens, woodcock, snipe, robins, opossums, rabbits, and the venison whose praises we sing above; all in such order for the table as made it difficult for us to deter- mine which we fancied most for the nonce. If it is a sin for one to love “ the delicacies of the sea- son.’? we certainly stand in imminent danger of never being forgiven; for we are utterly unable to comprehend the philosophy of being surr: led by the very best things (edible) conceivable. without ‘ cottoning” to them with a degree o: enthusiastic gusto utterly incomprehensible to the one who relishes Grabam bread and over- done roast beef.
