mend a change in the present mode Of voting voting
winch we are quite sure would meet with
soIefaa favor. 1t is to have some two, three
VI touf additional polling places in each ward,
eh'ued precincts, q that the voting can be-
carried on with casa and comfort. 1t was
quite deepiorable yesterday to see voters wait.
| ing ior hours under the scorching heat of the
sun before their turn came whereas by some
sdch method as that just mentioned, all this
inconvenience might be avoided It would
also, by dividing, tighten the labors of the
Judges, SO that the result of. the vote would be
earlier known. By the present mode much in
convenience is felt, and what is of more i'm
portance, it is possible that all the votes could
not be polled within the limited time pre.
scribed by law. We should like to see some
alteration made. -
Hot WoRK.-One of the results of the cleo
uon, was the vast evaporation of moisture
from the body, and the consequent inhibition
of liquids to compensate for the loss. Our
nelghbor Sylvester, at the corner of 18th street
ana the Avenue, was exceedingly patronized
oy most OF thirsty patriots, and the silver
swan fountain poured out it's soda water in
streams to allay the fervor of the blood, heated
by exposure to June sum- and the excitement
OF the municipal election. The quantity of
soda water sold at his store amounted to
the enormous quantity of three thousand
glasses so that, allowing one glass per man,
three thousand excited patriots must have re,
freshed themselves, and cooled down their
heated blood by this means. After this, we
think that the District is entitled to an appro.
Rnation for soda water purposes. Keep cool,
gentlemen. -
A SUMNER REsIDENCB.-We would refer
those OF our readers who are on the look out
Tor pleasant summer residence, to the adver-
hno Id r
dences alluded to have been built by Mr.. A.
| Kendall, and are particularly suited to those
VINO wish for the repose and quiet of country
residence, within convenient distance of the
| city. The advantages held out are so great
that we would advise all before they select a
dwelling, to read MIR. Kendall's advertisement
headed as mentioned above in another column.
where they will find all the necessary informa-
ton. --'
| CoNcERr-With the return of summer wa
| nave to record the return of the nightingales
as shown in the appearance of Kunkels Night
ingale Opera Troupe, this evening, at Odd Eel
| lows Hall, which they have selected as their
| avlary, to keep up the metaphorcal mode of
expression. But in reality, if not nightingaIes,
| they are first rate Opera Troupe, and can
sing as delightful as nightingales, with the ad-
dition Of putting a little fun into their sing
ing: In addition to the singing, Herr Ahrend
violincello performer.
ga FETE Yesterday the pupils
of Monsieur Raoul, teacher Of the French
language, and Mons Besseau, teacher of
drawing, attached to various schools in the
District of Columbia, to the number of three
or four hundred, enjoyed a delightful fete
champetre in Pairo's grounds, on the heights
Of Georgetown. They were accompanied by
their friends; and good band of music added
greatly to the days delightful entertainment
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-Yesterda Young
man, while Intoxicated, committed an assault
and battery on one Of the officers on duty and
was taken to the guard house, and being near
y exhausted, he was allowed to remain in the
trial room. After he had recovered, he tried
to escape by jumping out the window, and had
succeeded in getting partly out, when one of
the Guards caught him by the arms and pulled
him back. 1t is likely if he had reached the
pavement he would have broken some of his
limbs, if not his neck. He was committed to
Jail by Justice Morsell.
The HUNTREss.-The above paperi is extinct,
Mrs. Anne Royal having put out the follow
ing circular:

I" Huntress of Washington" but as soon as

Commemorative parties alluded to in the
article headed 'Argumentum ad Hominem"
which appeared in yesterdays ''Star," both
testify and have subscribed their names to
paper, positively declaring that the language
attributed to one of the disputants, did not
take place, although there wore some words
and likewise blows between them. We correct
| the mistake with the greatest pleasure, nosdo
we believe after conversation with the party
| to whom it was attributed, that he would have
been guilty of any such language.
