Dramatic Association, 3c.
Our community heard with profound sor-
row of the demise of Mr.. Benjamin West, one
of our most promising young men. Mr.. W.
was connected with the coast survey for several
years. Whilst at Portland, Maine, discharging
the duties of his station, he was taken i'll, and
after lingering some months, died. His body
has been brought home, and will be consigne
to the tomb this morning.
On Sunday morning, whilst the religious
portion of our inhabitants were preparing for
the solemn exercises of the day, two nice
young Westinghouse commenced a row at
the foot of King street. One of the parties
drew pistol, but the interference of bystand-
ers prevented serious consequences No ar
rests we're made.
The discourses of the Rev DR. Newlin the
successor of Rev. j. n. Danforth, in the pas
torship of the Second Presbyterian church in
this place, arc pronounced to be excellent
fed with their choice.
Among the contemplated improvements
which will shortly be commenced, are mag
nifcent private resi- ience, near the corner of
Washington and Wolf streets, for William H.
Fowle, and ten frame tenements, on Columbus
street, near Madison, for John Laphcn.
The collections for the suffering in the Cres-
cent City are in full tide, and the committees
meet with liberal encouragement Alexandria
will no doubt show her gratitude for pros
perity, by abundance in charity

-~ Omr Ffremen.-It is with pleasure that the
good citizens of Washington notice the efforts
of several of our oldest and best fire companies
to place themselves upon the same basis upon
which they stood few years since. There
seems to be - determination on the part of the
firemen to make the Department eyen mora
useful than ever. To do this, it is necessary
that the lists Of active members should be
much larger than they are at present; and to
increase their membership, the efforts of the
companies are mainly directed The Frank
lin Fire Company is making arrangements fer
a trip North, and from what we have seen, we
believe that large number of our respectable
young mon will accompany them The mem.
bers arc also preparing for grand ball. to be
given about the month of October. If the
property holders would take an interest in the
welfare and prosperity of our Fire Depart
ment, and the city authorities would assist by
the passage of proper laws, our Fire Depart
ment, though small, could be made one of the
best in the country. We hear of the move
ments of other companies, and shall notice
them with pleasure when their plans are more
fully matured.
Market Ihieres.-We have frequently
called the attention of tho :" City Fathers to
the exposed condition of persons from the
country who attends our markets to sell their
produce. Every market day numbers OF petty
thieves known to the police are seen lurking
about the stalls and benches watching for an
opportunity to hook whatever chance pre-
SCENTS to them. Sometimes articles are missed
and persons accused of taking them who a. c
entirely innocent Such was the case this
morning. man from the country lost his
purse containing between forty and fifty dol
lars. Another person, also countryman.
happened to be near when it was missed. He
was suspected and in order to prove his inno-
cence, he submitted to a thorough search of
his person in the guard-house The regula-
tions of our markets arc not strict enough, or
there is no one to enforce them Whatever is
the defect it should be remedied.
Montgomery Gmards-The doubt hitherto
hanging over some of the movements of this
company, we understand. has been entirely
dispelled, and that it is now fixed fact
that they will go to Baltimore on the 18th of
September next. Hope they will have good
time
Mania q pot~.-A man was carried to the
guard house last night to save him from the
attacks of snakes that we're after him The
Captain turned him over to his friends to be
properly cared for The cells of the guard
house are unfit to confne persons in while
suffering with this horrid disorder
Watch Returns.-The record of the guard
house shows no cases disposed of this morn
ing. Several persons were taken there last
night, and the Captain not thinking their
offences sufficient to justify their confinement
all night, gave them some good advice and
dismissed them.
