Riley, a woman who has astand for sale of produce on B street, next to the Center market, which is set apart for countrymen, was on trial charged with being an unlicensed produce dealer. Mr. Campbell Carrington appeared for ‘Mrs. Riley and pleaded not guilty. Special Officer Capner, of the Market com- pany, testified that defendant stands on B street at the market and seils country produce which comes from commission houses.

Mr. Carrington claimed that no case had been made out, and that she Was entitled to an sequittal. r.

A REUNION OF MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENTS MOUNTED GUARD—SERVICE RENDERED BY THE COMMAND—THE WEST WASHINGTON OR- GANIZATIONS, 4c. The President's Mounted Guard was in exist- ence for nine years prior to the war, having made its first parade on February 22d, 1852, with Capt. Joseph T. Peck, a leading butcher, 4s its commander. In its most prosperous days the company was composed of butchers, bakers and others, who owned their own animals. It was one of the finest cavalry companies in this section of the country, and frequent drills gave it quite a name for discipline, ‘The guard part!- cipated in the inauguration of Presidents Pierce and Buchanan, and on the day following Mr. Lincoln's inauguration escorted Mr. Buch- anan to the depot. The uniform wis a blue frock coat, ‘pants and cap with orange trimmings “and pompon. _ Fol- lowing the inatiguration of Mr. Lincoln the services of some were required for patrol duty frequently to the day they were called on tobe mustered into the service, April 19th. Several members who were engaged in busi- ness could not weil leave, and the Georgetown mounted company not having enough mem- bers to go in as_@ ‘company, some of the latter united with the President's Mounted Guard.

SCOTT'S HEADQUARTERS, ‘When the company was mustered into ser vice they were first quartered on D street, near 8th, but Gen. Scott, whose headquarters were on 7th street, opposite the War department, taking a liking to the command, requested that juariers near him. This the company did, first locating on 17th, and then on F street. During the troublous times following members of the company did much service as bearers of orders, picketing the roads and patrolling the streets until they went with Gen. Stone to Sen- eca. Their services, it is claimed, saved the city from a riot on inoré than one occasion, At one time a number of soldiers of a northern regi- ynent got outof their quarters, and, after rioting in the neighborhood of 41g street and Maryland avenue, got up on Penusylvania aventie, be- tween 3d and 4}, streets. There Capt. Owen orgred the guard to charge the erowd, aud daShing towards some of the leaders two of the guards each jerked a prisoner up irom, the pave- ment, and holding him across the necks ot their horses, galloped to the central foe house and delivered them up. A few weeks ago one of the President's Mounted Guards heard one of his customers, now an inmate of the Soldier's Home, telling of the riot and what was done, and,on questioning him, found that he was the soldier whom he had, twenty-five years ago, taken to the guard house. PRESIDENT LINCOLN BELATED, Another related how one evening before the troops had entered Virginia, Mr. Lincoln had driven across the Long bridge and failea to re- turn while the draw was open. This was at 9 O'clock, and the fact was at that hour at once Py] gohee to headquarters. In atew moments all was excitement and consternation, and de- tails were at once made to go to the bridge and see what tidings could be learned. One squad went to Chain bridge and over it,and being seen by a contederate oe et, the latter with- drew." Mr. Lincoln ha simply driven around by Arlington and returned over the Aqueduct. THE FIRST WAR PRISONER. It was stated in regard to Mr. M. C. Causten that he was the first prisoner taken during the war. When the command was up the river Mr. Causten went to his father-in-law’s house at Seneca to see his wife, who was there. While engaged in talking to her his presence was be- trayed by sume one and he was taken to Rich- mond. After along imprisonment he was ex- changed, and as soon as he regained his health be was appointed toa lieuteuancy in the regu- larinfapiry. In his first engagement he was again captured and taken to Richmond. On being a second time exchanged, he returned home, and, not caring to risx being captured a third time, did not again enter the service. He died a few years azo. It was also reiated at last night’: that Private Henry Appel, after proving hi: self every inch a soldier, received a commission inthe regular army.’ He was promoted tor bravery at the battle of Pulling Waters, where he received no less than seven bullet wounds in his breast. He, however, reached Balumore, where he subsequently died. ‘THE FIEST BATTALION. Ata meeting of the first battalion of the Dis- trict of Columbia Volunteers held at Goddard’s hail, West Washington, last night, Capt. James Goddard was culled to the chair, Lieut, J. E.

The New York Soldier Boys to be Guests of the Citizens. ACTION TAKEN AT THE MEETING LAST EVEN- ING—PROGRAM TO BE CARRIED OUT ON THE OCCASION OF THE COMING VISIT—THE RECEP TION COMMITTEE, ETC. A number of prominent citizens met at the ‘Washington Light Infantry armory last even- ing to make arrangements for a fitting recep- tion of the Seventh Kegiment of New York, upon their approaching visit to the capital. Among those present were J. W. Thompson, Simon Wolf, Noble D. Larner, Geo. W. Knox, Lawrence Gardner, 0. G. Staples, Allison Nal- lor, Dr. Hartigan, E.B. Barnum, Geo. F. Timm: CS, Moore, Maj. Geo.S. Armes, General Brown, HH. D. Greene, J. K. Cleary, Gen. Allen Ruther- ford, Judge Noah, W. L. Bramhall, Geo. J. Seufferle, and the officers of the Light Infantry. Col. W. G. Moore presided, and Mr. George F. Timms was elected secretary. Col. Moore briefly stated the object of the meeting. The famous 7th regiment of New York, the leadin, volunteer orgunization of the world, he sald, will arrive in’ Washington, seven or eight hun- dred strong, about 9 o'clock on the evening of the 19th instant. ‘Their visit at this time is to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their first visit to the capital, when it was seriously threatened. They appeared at the first call of danger, and by their presence inspired the peo- ple with the confidence that the government would be able to maintain its seat against all comers, The visitors will be the guests of the Light Infantry Corps, Col. Moore said, and it will do all in its power to make this visiting or- nization go away with the pleasant remem- Erances, that all former visitors have taken with them. The cor; will do its best to entertain them, but he thought that itis necessary for the citizens to take an interest inthe matter and lend material assistance in giving them @ royal welcome, for they will be in fact the GUESTS OF THE CITY. Col. Moore said that his corps felt somewhat chary in asking financial aid, in view of the liberal subscriptions already made for the coming fair. On Tuesday, the following day after their arrival, the visitors will be reviewed by the President and will parade through the rincipal streets of the city. No program has Been arranged. for Wednesday, as they. will leave the city about three o'clock on that day. ‘The W. L. i. corps will receive them at the depot, as will a committee of well-known citi- zens, and will escort them to it when Gate depart. The armory will be at their disposal, and in it a substantial lunch will be ready for them on their arrival, where they will be received by the District Commusioners. It is intended to have a display of fireworks, &c. OPENING THE SUBSCRIPTION LIST. “How much do you need for your fire-works and things?” asked Col. Staples, “About $1,500,” was the reply. “Well, I can’t stay any longer. Put me down for $50, and if you want any more call on me,” said Col. Staples, picking up his hat. “You are excused,” said Col. Moore, as he made a note of the subscription. Mr. J. W. Thompson then contributed $100, with the suggestion that a committee of five be ap- pointed to collect general subscriptions. The following committee was appointed for that purpose: Jno. A, Baker, Jno. Boteler, Allison Nailor, E. B. Barnum and William L, Bramhall. Charles S. Moore was appointed treasurer of the subscription funds. The fol- lowing additional subscriptions were made: Simon Woll, $25; G. J. Seufferle; $25; G. J. Knox, $25; Gen. Allen Rutherford, $25; , Cleary & Co., $25; William Dix, $10; uify & Leonarda, $25; Barbour & Hamilton, 25; William R. Spea r, 35; Wm. Holtzclaw, 35; Wanstall, $5; F."M. Draney, $5; Charles S.

Moore explained that the officers of the Light Intantry expected to raise $30U among themselves, so that their individual subserip- tions would not appear. Mr. Simon Wolf inquired if the program con- templated a visit by the regiment to the old camping-ground out 14th street. He requested that the Visitors be taken to the park and be- come the guests of the Schuetzen Verein. Col, Bramhbull said that many of the present members of the 7th regiment were young men, and had never been here before. They would doubtless like to see the city, and he thought that Wednesday should be devoted to that pur- pose, and suggested thata committee be sp: pointed and aivided up to escort the visitors in detachments, Col. Bramhall was made chair- mun of the committee, and those Willing to assist were requested to report to him atthe armory. Willett, C. W. Thorn and George J. J.P. Muehler were appointed a committee on fire- works, s A RECEPTION COMMITTEE, The following committee on reception, to act in conjunction with the military to meet the visitors at the depot and to escort them to the armory, was announced: Messrs, John W.

President American Agricultural and Dairy Association, ees ‘The Barbers’ Sunday Law. THE TEST CASE IN THE POLICE COURT CON- TINUED FOR ARGUMENT AS TO THE CONSTI- TUTIONALITY OF THE LAW. Mr. Corkhill, as connsel for the barbers at the 4 Measure Approved at a Meeting of Merchants and Brokers. Mr. Horatio Browning presided at e meeting of the District merchants and merchants’ brokers at Shea's hall last night to protest against the passage of the James bill to abolish license taxes for commercial travelers, The meeting approved the bill now before the Dis- trict committee of each house of Congress that Provides for a reduction of the license tax from $200 to $100 and requires the payment of this sum by all commercial agents and sample mer- chants, all persons selling by sample, card or otherwise, whether owner or not, to be consid- gred sample merehants, The bill. provides also ainst the transfer of licenses from one to an- other, except by consent of the Commissioners, and in no cage back to the one to whom it was originally granted, and who has consigned 1t to another. It was stated that there were brokers here who, under the present law, got out licenses and sold out the right to sell under them to a Jarge number of drummers, who thus avoided getting out a license for themselves, In this Way it was said that brokers got out $200 Meenses and sold several thousand dollars worth of rights to sell under them. Another way the Jaw is evaded, it was claimed, 1s by outside merchants Cbd their drummers to pass as members of the firm, and as such they have no license tax to pay under the con- struction of the law.

An amusing story 1s told of a sub-contractor doing business in this city who had a number of non-union men in his employment. He was threatened with the boycott if he did not dis. charge these men and employ union men, and he also had difficulty about working his men on buildings where union men were employed. In order to get around the necessity of going into the union and paying the union wages he hit upon the happy device of forming a pate nership and taking ail bis nou-union men in as partners. Of course he arranged the terms of the partnership so that in the division of the profits the cost would not be greater than the Wages he was already paying. By this arrange- Ment each one of tlie men became a boss, and as such could work with union men,’ The | Scheme seemed to be a very good one, and the originator was chuckling over his ingenuity. A few days ‘after the partnership had been formed a couple of the men got drunk, and the next morning, when they came to work, they wanted to boss the shop. They said that the Were a8 much bosses as their former boss, ani they did not propose to relinquish any of their rigitts, So they ordered their boss to go to worlc, and they said that they proposed to superin: tend for awhile. ‘The consequence was that the partnership was dissolved in a hnrry and the business was resumed under the old manage- ment with union men, instead of non-union men, ———— The Suicide at Laurel. JOSEPH BROWN, A YOUNG MAN, SHOOTS HIM- SELF ON HIS SWEETHEART’S DOORSTEP, Joseph Brown, a young man twenty years of age, the son of James Brown, who is employed in the Patent office, but who lives in Laurel, Md., committed suicide Monday night on the front porch of James Lewis in that place, as stated in a special dispatch to yesterday’s STAR, ‘The body was discovered by Samuel Switzer at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Brown was kneeling on the porch, his head testing on the bench. “Switzer thought ho had fallen asleep. A bullet-hole was on the right side of the head, a little in front of the eur, and a little pool of blood was on the porch. A 32 caliber revolver, with three cartidze-sheils and one cartridge, was found on the ground so near thé porch that it must have dropped from Brown's hand atter firing. The body was taken to the house of his jather. The deceased had been paying attention to Miss Bettie Lewls, a dauguter of James Lewis, and in conversation with ber early in the eve. ning he had told her that he was golng to shoot himself, She persuaded him to put up his pistol, which he had drawn, and when site left him Ne had become quieter. Later in the eve ning he went to her house and shot himself on the front porch. It was learned from the evi- dence taken at the inquest, which was held yes: terday, that young Browy was worried about his business prospects and® other matters, The jury rendered a verdict that the deceused had committed suicide by shooting himself with a pistol “voluntarily and feloniously.”” —— Tae Poromac FRUIT GnowERS.—At_ the monthly meeting of the Potomac Fruit Growers’ association, held last evening at A.
