BALL or THE NATIONAL GRAYs.-There is always
something cxhiarating in the balls given by the
military, in comparison with those Of private indi-
viduals. This was fully established in the enter
tainment given last night by this excellent and res
pected company, who were honored by the presence
Of many distinguished persons among whom We
noticed Colonel Riley, Major Keyworth, Quarter
master McCollum, and representatives Of the fol-
lowing companies: Washington Light Infantry,
Captain Carrington,) Presidents Mounted Guard,
National Guards, American Rifemen, Washington
Rifles, Scott Guards, and the Marion Rifles, a COM
pany lately formed who for the first time appeared
in their new uniform which is certainly the hand
soonest dress we have yet seen among our citizen
soldiers. It consists of the military coat, white
cuffs, and skyblue pants producing pretty effect
to the eye. The scene in the room was truly grand,
which numbered some of our most beautiful ladies',
who gave charm and zest to the evenings amuse-
ment. The dancing was kept up with great spirit,
to the delight Of all, and the grace and movements
of some Of the ladies was the remark of many
The captain was ever active in his attentions to the
comforts Of every one, and none but happy and joy
GUS faces were to be seen. About twelve o'clock,
the company sat down to an excellent supper, pre-
pared in Mr.. Eckhardts best style, which having
full justice been done to- dancing was once more
resumed, which was kept up until an early hour
this morning. The splendid music of Prospects,
Cotillion Band added greatly to the pleasures of
the evening.
PRorEsrASr ORPHAN AsYLUM--LIBERAL CoLLEc-
rIoS.-On Sabbath morning last a collection was
taken at the Foundry M E. Church, (corner Of @
and l4th streets, Rev. Mr.. Phelps, pastor,) and,
although the weather was very inclement, and not
more than one hundred and fifty persons present,
the liberal sum of one hundred and eighty dollars
were collected for the institution. The orphans,
attended by the matron, to the number of about
fifty, were present. and added greatly to the inter-
est of the occasion by singing Ny Mothers
Grave" We understand that the institution Is
much in want Of funds, in view of the fact that
the cold and chcerless winter Is approaching. Win
not the other Protestant churches initiate the ex-
ample set them by the Foundrya VIII not the
philanthropic Of our city come forward to sustain
this praiseworthy institution?
METROPOLITAN RAILRoAD.--The proposition TO
submit the question of subscription to the Metro
politan Railroad the part of the corporation to
the people, came up as the special order in the
Board Of Common Council last night, and was in.
definitely postponed after brief discussion Messrs
Chas. A. Davis, Duncanson and Smith, strenuously
opposed the proposition, and before any member
favorable to the subscription could obtain the floor,
il was, on motion Of Mr.. Bamberger indefinitely
postponed.

SrRYcHsrSE.-We learn that Mr.. Stewart pur-
chased from Mr.. King FIVE grains of this virulent
poison representing TO the druggist that he intend
ed to kill rats Previously, he had endeavored TO
make the purchase from Mr.. schwartze, who de
clned selling, unless he would produce the order
of physician. This quantity is deemed sufficient
to kin ten persons
This sad occurrence affords us an opportunity to
urge upon the apothecaries the necessity Of some
general regulation in reference TO the sale of such
articles We would respectfully suggest that they
unite in some manner to prevent in future, the in.
discriminate sale, and, If possible, the improper
uses now 20 frequently made Of them.
