WHAT WE D0S'r LIKE TO SEE.--We don't like to
see such weather as we had Saturday, for we
couldn't see anything that day, on account Of the
dust.
We don't like to see -four at eleven dollars and
seventy five centsa barrel, because we know that q
majority OF our citizens can't afford to give such an
enormous price.
We don't like to see that staging around the
statue OF General jackson, for we think that some.
body Is running up large bill for doing sonething
there, and because the staging has been there long
enough to make new statue.
We don't like to see ladies Cd 60 into a dry
goods store and secrcte dress patterns under their
shawls, a. woman did on Saturday in this city |;
and we don't like to see them detected, because it
must mortify them exceedingly.
We don't like to see man spending his money
for lottery tickets when he is in debt to his grocer
tailor, and washerwoman; because It Is setting q
very bad example to say the least.
We don't like to see boys from nine to thirteen
years old loang at the corners Of streets on Sum
day, smoking cigars made of cabbage leaves, or
some other intolerable composition, and disturbing
the neighborhood with their boisterous laughter
and noise. 1t looks rowdyish.
We don't like to see men get drunk and abuse
their best friends, get into the watch-house get
their names on the book" and from thence into
the newspapers and we don't like to hear them
threaten the reporters Of the papers with the be-
som of destruction for publishing their names
1t seems to us to DO all talk, and no cider"
We don't like to sec good actor, because the
play does not go off we'll disgrace himself by utter
ing oaths in undertone, loud enough to be heard
ali over the theatre. 1t sounds very bad
We don't like to see so many criminals acquitted
of any charge which may be made against them.
The number of acquttas are as two to one, against
convictions.
And we do not like to see anything anti-Ameri-
ican boisterous or babyish cowardly cheating, cant
or crnging, dirty, disoblgng, despiteful, dismal
despicable, effeminate, embezzling, engaging, ex-
travagant equivocal or evasive, false, faltering,
fawning, felonious tickle, fnical or foolish and
so on to the end Of the alphabet if we only had
time, space, and inclination, to enumerate. It's
al wrong.
SEVERE AccIDEsr.--Mr. Albert Martin, work
man at Morselfs Machine shop, while at work at
the circular saw, met with an accident on Satur-
day, which deprves him entirely of his thumb.
By some unaccountable means he stumbled and
fell with his hand upon the saw, and his thumb
was sawn 80 nearly off to hang upon his hand
by q slender thread. Fears were entertained of
lock jaw, and his thumb was amputated and the
nh IL ha upda fba inAu
of chloroform. While in this state, he entertained
the spectators with snatches of songs, which made
the scene painfully distressing. We are glad to
know, he is doing well.
PoRrRArrs or +. b. CARPENTER The Intelli-
gencer says: "We have had the opportunity Of
seeing the portraits of Gov Marcy, Senators Hous-
ton, Cass, and Seward, and Ex-Presidents Tyler
and Fillmore, also charming portrait of Mr. JUS
tice Mclean at Mr.. Carpenters room in the Pres
idents House. The President has kindly invited
Mr.. O. to share the Inequalities Of the White
House, in order to his own convenience and those
of the gentlemen of his cabinet who sitting to
Mr.. Carpenter. These portraits are all of the
highest order Of excellence, and cannot fail TO be
satisfactory to Mr.. Carpenters friends"
DscosrIsuAscE OF NEwsPAPERs.-The Wash
ington Sentinel Of yesterday morning notified its
subscribers that their daily paper is suspended un
Ill the assembling Of the next Congress. II viii
publish its tri-weekly and weekly paper as usual.
As we announced, some time ago, the Globe
win also be discontinued upon the completion Of
the debates Of the Congress which has just adj
journed, until the same period.
This is probably done in view of the terrible
duh times which are expected to prevail In this
city during the long recess, and is proof of the
sagaclty Of the managers Of those two presses.
MoRx wuK-wHIPPrSG.- Lewis Douglass and
John Fee were both arrested for whipping their
wives and were sent to jail by Captain Birch.
1t is worthy Of notice that tho majority Of these
wife-whippers are foreigners, and still have the
habit which they had in the old country, where
this amusement Is quite common. Indeed, some
Of the lower classes trade wives with the greatest
IMMUNITY, and no one dare interfere in their domes
tic concerns.
This Fee was very brutal In his treatment Of his
wife. He threw her down in the street, and bit
her on the shoulder and face, and bit her very
nearly of. When she and her sister were giving
their evidence, he broke out in furious language,
c1lling them liars and other opprobrous names, say
ing he would not believe them under oath.
DISTURBING RELIGIOUS MkKrNes.--The congre.
cations who worship in the colored churches on M
and x street, have complained to the proper au.
thorities Of being disturbed by parcel Of coored
boys, varying from nineteen TO twenty-five years
old, who keep round the doors and prevent the en-
trance Of any person.
Yesterday, the Chief Of Police and Captain Of
the Guard, with posse Of police and watchmen,
went TO these churches and arrested eleven boys
who were kept in the guard-house all night, and
not released this morning until fine of five dollars
and costs were paid by each. James Butler, Will
liam Hughes, Robert Seymour, Charles Brown,
George Neale alias Charles Lee, Charles Butler,
John Williams Isaac Talbot Phillip Thompson,
William Edwards and James Hays were the names
Of these chaps, to whom we think this will prove
good lesson.
ASorHKR.--We understand that one Of the pu-
pills Of Mr.. Pecks school, whose name we could
not ascertain, was accidentally shot, on Wednes-
day, while out cunning. party Of two or three
preferring 10 play truant rather than 60 to school,
proceeded TO the country cunning excursion,
which resulted in the above melancholy manner.
Boys, take warning
ATTEMPTED BURaLARY.--Two attempts were
made 70 break into the drug store OF Mr.. Boswell,
corner Of Maryland avenue and Seventh street, on
