LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

eral weeks vacation, the exercises Of the va
rious schools will be resumed during the pres
ent month. If parents generally shall not be
gratifed with a thorough education of their
children, it will not be in consequence of an
absence Of the proper opportunities or facili-
ties to that truly desirable end. Never before

both public and private, of all grades-from the
primary to the highest institutions the lat
ter Of which pupils may be fitted for all the
professional and business departments of life.

ance of education. The thousands of scholars
regularly attending school affords evidence of
this fact. .-..

TIE CIRCUS The circus of Joe Pentland,
now exhibiting in this city, bears eff the palm
IRON all similar entertainments that we have
have had In Washington for many years
past. The performers are all highly skilled
and ambitious, and exert themselves to please;
while their appointments are well got up, and
70 their credit be 1T written, kept scrupulously
clean The ring horses are all young, active
and well trained. Frank and Villa am Pastor
the boys who perform the trapazee, Sherwood
and his wife, the leading vaulter, the trained
dogs, and, indeed, all and every thing intro
dueed into the ring, are Of the very first order
all being far superior in their way 20 any
thing of the kind exhibited here for many
years past Joe Pentlsnd is the very Prince
OF Clowns, relying upon genuine wit alone for
the amusement of his audiences. Not word
was uttered, in the whole course of last nights
performances, offensive to the ears Of the most
delicate lady. This is as it should be- To-
night is their last one in Washington, and we
advise all to attend who know how TO enjoy
visit to the best circus in the country at this
time.
RIOr AND FIGHTING officers
Tanning and Goddard arrested Chas McGib-
bon for fighting at house on Twelfth street
1t appeared to be a rather serious encounter
between a mother and her son, when the of.
hcers made the arrest. McGibbon was taken
70 the Office of Justice Clark, where evidence
was produced which proved that the witnesses
were not less in the mud than the principal in
the mire. The justice committed the party;
and then came from the madame a speech,
which We do not feel disposed to give to the
public. We regret, though, that she should
yillify the Squire by calling him i'd
Know Nothing" with the extras. 1t is proba-
Bile that she will discover before she shall lie
discharged from the county Jail that she made
a mistake.
