IMPORTANT TO AaERIcANs.--We were told to-
day, by respectable and responsible gentleman,
that he had In his hands yesterday subscription
paper from Columbus, Ohio which was sent on
here by the officers Of the :" Turner Association"
for the purpose of obtaining subscriptions In mo-
ney, to be used for the purpose Of engaging and
paying counsel to defend one of their members,
who is shortly to be tried for killing young Ame-
rican citizen few weeks ago, the particulars of
which were given at the time in the papers of the
day. Now, be it known TO all, that this Turner
Association is composed of red republican, for
egn Atheists, who OF course do neither believe in
God, nor comply with the sacred rites Of mar
rage as practised by all Christians and In every
cline. They are nothing more or less than band
of socialists, who only respect the laws of their
adopted country because they dare not disregard
them. II is time for our opponents to stop talk
Ing about |" secret associations" when they uphold
such as these here in our very midst, and whose
principles are repugnant to both morality and re-
hgon. III we mistake not, however, the intel'i-
gent citizens Of Ohio win see in spite of all the
outside influences brought to bear in the case Of
this foreign murderer (f such he is proved to be)
that this man recevesihe punishment very justly
awarded to all such malefactors against our laws.
BEN FRANKLIN TARGET CoMPANY-An excursion
has been announced by his company to be given
on Monday August 9Th, to Arlington Springs, the
most magnificent retreat in the neighborhood of
Washington City
In the hands Of the above corps, we feel con-
fdent that every one who may honor them with
their presence, will not regret the day they spent
with the target boys.
The committee of arrangements are well known
TO our citizens, and we rest assured that nothing
will be left undone to cater for the amusement Of
their guests.
There are two magnificent prizes to be awarded
to the best shots, one for the military and citizens
the other for the ladies' who may select among the
many gallants that will be present, to shoot for
them.
With the best military and cotillon music the
Refreshments in the hands of celebrated caterer
1t can nothelp being but day Of unalloyed pleasure
THE LATE RoBBERy.--It has been ascertained
that the robbery of the store of Mr.. w. R. Riley
was one on rather an extensive SCALE After the
arrest and committal Of Moore and his son. on Sat
urday last Mr. Riley with several friends, left for
Tebee Maryland, where Moore has been keeping
store for some time back, and, having procured
the assistance of officers, proceeded to his place of
business, and there identified large lot of goods
which had been distracted from his establishment
in this city, at different periods within the last
twelve months, and during the time that the son
Of Moore has been In his employ as a clerk In
deed, Mr.. H. recognised dresses on several of the
females connected with the family of Moore as
being manufactured out of goods belonging to,
and which had been stolen FROM him. After
taking somewhat hurried inventory of the arti-
Giles, they were left in the charge of the officers
there; and we learn from Captain Birch that the
accused parties will be fully committed for trial at
the next criminal court. Messrs. Dyer, Eckloff,
and Bell, OF the Auxiliary Guard, were the officers
who discovered and put stop to this wholesale
ernbezzement, and who arrested the parties
charged with its preparation.
CRowDrD.-We stepped IN the Circus tent on
Saturday night, about eight o'clock, and found it
crowded with people, "white, black and grizzly
gray" There must have been little short of two
thousand five hundred persons under the canopy,
all of whom, in spite OF the warmth, as matter Of
course created by such crowd, and in such very
hot weather, seemed to be enjoying themselves
immensely. The riding of the performers, the sa-
gacty Of the bears, and the jokes of one of the
best Of clowns excellent, and as there are no
other amusements in rmidst at present, we should
hot be surprised if the succeeding performances of
the company were quite as well attended as this
one. They perform at two and eight, P. NJ, four
nights more See advertisement.
A DARING FEMALE "JEHuir-A hackney coach,
standing before the door of house In the upper
part of the city, was mounted by a female on Sat
urday night, who using the whip pretty freely
upon the horses attached TO the vehicle, came
Gown Seventh street. and up Louisiana avenue at
furious rate, causing pedestrians who were re-
turning from market TO scamper off in every d.
rection. The "frail but fair one" brought up her
charge in an alley near Pennsylvania Avenue, be-
tween Four-and-a-half and Sixth streets having
seemingly enjoyed her dangerous and rapid trip,
and traversed in her perous several streets
and by ways, having neither reins nor anything
else in her hands with which to check or guide
her "fast horses" We can safely recommend her
TO Manager Derious as capital and intrepid two
horse driver
ANOTHER FIRE.-A stable was burned down in
the First Ward on Sunday morning last, but no
serious damage was done TO any Of the surround
ing buildings. Our fremen and several members
Of the Guard" were promptly on the spot, and
rendered their respective services
At the fire which occurred on g street last Fri
pay, one of the police pointed out TO us an indi-
yidud who has lately been pardoned out Of the
penitentiary, and who was sentenced for a short
term there for incendisrism-from which fact
many persons are led to believe that either him
self or Of his associates are again at oork in
our midst.
Coon NEws.-Being in conversation with one
II our (iitv Eatbarar laat ayanino ha rau,arl el
that in less than one years time the erection Of
substantial and ornamental market house would
be commenced in or near the place where the old
building now stands. Although we are very much
in favor of antique things generally, should be
pleased 10 see an Improvement so much needed
and so universally approved
We can therefore safely reckon, and from such
good authority too, that there is good time
coming"
