The returns from the Sixth and Seventh
Wards had not been received at the time
OF putting the paper to press.
Terry Small.-A gentleman who owns q
lot In the Congressional Burial Ground in
forms US that he has been grieved by the
acts OF certain individuals, who are known
to him. Two of his children are buried
there; and during the spring and summer
it has been the practice of his family to
decorate the graves with flowers. The
persons alluded to go to his lot, which is
enclosed, and steal away those beautiful
tokens Of the affection of the parents and
brothers and sisters of the little ones who
there lie buried. 1t is an act of ueru small
thleuery, though very hurtful to the feel
ings of the family, and we are assured
that If the act is repeated, the names of
those guilty Of the last act, shall be ex-
posed.
Eection.-Our city election has passed
off more pleasantly than the generality
OF onr citizens expected. In fact, it was
the most peaceful election day we have
ever seen in Washington. The arrange
ment of the day and night police did
much to preserve peace and keep things
quiet. We were glad to see that many
OF the police officers, after voting their
own sentiments, used every exertion to
secure the same privilege for others, and
did not employ their time in electioncer-
ing for this or that candidate. Some, we
hear, instead Of attending to the business
for which they were paid, were busying
themselves with the election, and left
their own business to attend to that of
others. Some of the officers seem to
think their places are for life, and want
Of attention cannot be urged against them
as q reason for their dismissal IF their
tune is not changed, we think CHS honor
the Mayor" will show them how far they
are mistaken.
Strawberry Fealcd.-The ladies CT
Christ Church, Georgetown, open Straw
berry and Ice Cream Feast, this evening,
at Forest Hall. GA scene of festivity
may be there expected, which will repay
such as may visit it with the desire of not
only partaking of present enjoyment but
also Of contributing to purchase an organ
for the supply of good music for years to
come to one Of the largest congregations
Of the town."
Look at you' Small NoteS.--A fellow
has been sent to Jail for passing counter
felt money in the city. The note upon
which he was committed, we are told,
was a s. note, purporting to be issued
by the Citizens Bank Of Baltimore The
best safeguard against them is to refuse
all.
AlTird.--Generals Scott and Wool. and
other members Of the board of officers hav-

paid cests and gave security. John
Thomas, passing counterfeit money: sent
to Jail. R. O. Wharton, and L. T. Clark,

We have word to say about this last
arrest. 1t shows the promptness Of the
officers in the second ward and the impair
TALLY Of the magistrate. So soon as the
least disposition was displayed, on the
part Of the young men, to riot, they were
arrested and taken before the magistrate,
and held to bail to appear for examina-
ton to-day and to keep the peace. They
appeared this morning, were examined,
and dismissed.
In the Fifth Ward, we are told a regu-
