tuslly the only one Opera season. that has
ever proved profitable in this country north of

METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURcH-The re.
yiyal in this church is still progressing, and
the members appear to be much pleased with
their prospects The brethren of the adjoin-
ing circuits and statious are focking to their
assistance. Among the ministers we have no.
ticed ut the meetings are the Rev. S. b. Suth-
erland, Rev. Mr.. Clayton, Rev. David Will
son, and Rev. o. Cox. Rev Josiah Warden,
a well known and popular minister, preached
last night. Yesterday afternoon a love feast
was held in the church, and we learn it was
we'll attended and passed off with pleasure to
all who were in attendance. The minister in
charge is the Rev. p. l.. Wilson. He is highly
esteemed in Washington, and doubtless his
brethren will retain him as long as the rules
OF the Conference viii permit.
CARUsI's SALOON was well filed at n ght,
on the occasion of the grand relief concert for
the benefit of the Norfolk and Portsmouth suf-
ferers. The singing by the EDlian Glee Club
and the Washington Harmonians and the per-
Torrance of the Laselle Instrumental Troupe,
together with the guitar playing of Mr. keck,
and the ballads of Mr.. Grennur, were greeted
by the auditory with delight, while the solo
on the SAKE horn, by Professor Esputa, and
the music of that gentleman's brass band,
twenty pieces, were prominent features in the
rich and varied programme.
Mr.. WV. PALAER.-A correspondent writes
US in high praise Of the manner in which Prof
VIM. Palmer rendered his fne basso solo. on
Tuesday night last, at st. Matthew'S church
We have heard many amateurs speak of his
execution Of his beautiful and impressive part
on that occasion in similar terms, and regret
exceedingly that we were not so fortunate as
to be present.
CENTRE MARKzr.-The supplies begin to
fall away. We no longer have the Avenue,
from Seventh to Eleventh streets, crowded
with farmers and gardeners. The prices, too,
begin to take an upward tendency. This is
easily accounted for at this season. 1t seldom
lasts long, and We hope to see the old dealers
crowding the markets before the Congressional
rush begins, and ending only when there is no
use for their presence.
RELIKF.-Mrs. Mary Farrar deposited this
morning fifteen dollars-the proceeds of the
business at her bowling sal0on-sor the relief

tributed four dollars and twenty cents for a
similar purpose. The money was deposited
WITHOUT LICEsSE.-This morning Mrs
Catharine Dryer was arrested for Offering
matches for sale in the market without IL
cense. The evidence of the clerk of the Gen.
ire market was rather strong against the ac-
cused party, and the justice, Morsell, ordered
her to pay q fine and costs.

the Rev. J. A. Duncan united a couple in
holy wedlOck at Browns Hotel. The entire
party were from Virginia, and will soon re-
turn to their homes in the Old Dominion.

larry Guard, while passing around his beat last
night, picked up a case of surgical instruments.
