| TnE LOVERS OF DANCING, and the number

have an opportunity, on Monday night, of
| gratifying themselves, in this respect, to the

The Assembly Rooms, on Louisiana avenue,

''honOr them with their presence" pledge
which they have tho ability to redeem.

VIVIAN This gentleman, after amusing
thousands Of persons at Odd Fellows Hall,
during the present week, will conclude his
series Of performances tonight. Though he
has made frequent visits to Washington, he
never fails to attract "full houses" An even
ing cannot DO more innocently spent than at
| his exhibitions.
There is a brisk competition among fremen
for the prize pictures representing scenes in
the life Of firemen) to'be awarded to the com
pany purchasing the largest number of tick
cts.
FAMILY JARS-Last night, eight or ten per-
sous, all related by family ties, were collected
at the guard-hOuse, before Justice Birch; the
occasion of the extraordinary meeting not be-
ing to celebrate a reunion Of the various
branches of the genealogical tree, but to set
tie dispute originating between two sisters
in-law The testimony was such as need not
be related in the newspapers. 1t was not of a
classical character, however The Justice
suggested to them pacific settlement Of the
4 al yes hnf fhev
ferred the binding over Of each other to keep
| the peace.
THE EDITOR or THE TRUrH did not celebrate
| the Sixteenth Anniversary Of the institution
OF total abstinence last night. as he had con-
| templated, in consequence of disappoint-
| ment in his procuring the use Of the saloon Of
Temperance Hall for that purpose. His idea
was to combine all the friends Of truth, equity
| and Justice, in the VOW Of g Robertson's Con-
stitutional Guard - thus redeeming the peo-
pie from the stigma Of being "a nation of
drunkard" -
| FRANKLIN FIRE CONPASY.-We have been
requested to state, by Mr.. Robert Z. Doyle,
the president of this company, that at their
meeting, last night, by unanimous vote, it was
declared that they decline taking any part
whatsoever in the sale of the tickets with
view 10 obtain the prize pictures at Wyman's
| exhibition, TO night; preferrng that the money
which might thus be expended be appropriated
by the constitutional members for procuring
| uniforms forthwith.
| PARADS.-Tho regiment Of the District of
Columbia will parade on Monday. When all
the companies composing it are congregatod,
| in their diversified uniforms, no prcttier mill
tary spectacle can be presented. 1t should
justly be the pride Of our citizens to foster
those organizations, as, in time of war, or in
ternicine disturbances, requiring stern reme-
dies, the community can best rely on the cti-
zen sOldiery.
