LOCAL MATT f. R S /.

MuRDER.-On Monday night an elderly gen
tlemari, named Rein Humphrey, formerly of this
city, and reading over the Eastern Branch, four
or FIVE miles from Washington, was attacked by
man named John Long, who struck him on the
head with large stone, ,fracturing his skull SO
dreadfully as to cause his death on the ensuing
day. Long had had quarrel with women who
lived near Surat's mill, and they threatened him
that, unless he ceased his misconduct, they would
sond for Mr.. Pnnaphrcy, who kept the mill. On
seeing Mr.. Humphrey coming towards il, and
without any provocation. Long committed the deed
which we have just related; and afterwards said
that he had killed him, accompanying the ex-
clamation with vulgar epithct, quite in charac
ter with his murderous assault, and showing his
utter depravity. No arrest of the guilty party has
yet been made. ...s. n... ... ...
The Rev. DR. BUrLEn's DISCOURSE on the death
of Daniel Webster, delivered on last Sunday night
will, we learn, be published in pamphlet form dur.
ing the present week.. Among the auditors on
that occasion was the President of the United
States. Mr.. Webster joined the Church of the
Epiphany about ten years ago, and for the last
FIVE and half years of his life was attached to
Trinity Church, of which the Rev, C. M. Butler is
the rector.
STEAM FERRy-We learn that the steam ferry
at the Long Bridge has been placed under new
CONTROL and that wharf lie to be constructed on the
Virginia side of the Potomac, which, with other i'm
provements, will insure an uninterrupted communi-
cation with this city, and at reasonable rates
of toll than heretofore. These arrangements will,
it is expected, be completed in the course of a
week. In the meantime the boat will be employed
on the line as usual.
KENDALL AND DIcKINsoN's MINsTRELs. The

this celebrated troupe will givetw more of their
popular concerts at Odd Fellows' Hall this ana to-
morrow evening. They have attracted large au.
diences, and met with that success which they
merit. Mr.. Kendall will perform a favorite solo
the alt horn, which is Of itself a sufficient at
traction to the lovers OF good music.
The RAvEL FAMILY, at the National Theatre,
are drawing their arrangement to a close. Asthis
is their last week in this city, they who have not
yet witnessed their extraordinary performances
