REPETITION OF CARUsI's MAY FEsrIvAL.-
The announcement of the repetition of this
delightful festival, on the 18th inst, will be
received with great satisfaction by those who
t.
Carusi, and who propose to do themselves the
pleasure of second attendance, as well as by
the many who were not able to attend the
first to their regret, and who will avail them
selves now Of the opportunity afforded. The
May Queen is spoken of as a most lovely and
interesting child, and her loyal little subjects
as every way worthy of their sovereign. Mr..
Carusi manages these affairs perfectly as our
citizens well know.
FINE GROCERIES AND LIQUORS -Messrs.
Morgan Il Brother, enterprising young citi-
Gems, have opened q very fine grocery store on
Seventh street, between and H. east side
Their stock is unsurpassed in the District
Being young, industrious and economical,
they can afford to sell for very small ad-
vance on first cost Those living in that
vicinity cannot trade to more advantage than
with them, we feel very sure. Their brandies
are equal to any in Washington.
COMPLAINrs.-Twoo Of every three poor fell
lows who arrive in this city from the fishing
shores, after being paid and discharged, com
plain that their money and clothes have been
stolen on the way. True, many of them drink
hard, and probably lose their money when
staggering about the streets; but it is equally
true that they are followed by sharks" who
are eager for prey of this description. None
can describe the villains who rob them, con.
sequently it is useless to make arrests.
DANGEROUS DoG.-A day or two since, q
dog kept by cOlOred man named Jos Am
bush, on Fifteenth street, between L and NJ
attacked and drcadfully larcerated a colored
| lad, the son Of Judson Digges, a few days
since. The Police Board should keep look
| out for this animal.
| GARBAGE DEror.-Mr. Editor: Will Won
through your widely circulated paper cali on
the Health Officer to wend his way into the
Seventh Ward, Fourteenth street, Island II
his nasal organs are in good condition he will
be directed to the garbage depot of the Third
and Fourth Wards. 1t appears that the CON
tractor has made this locality his headauar-
ters. The stencil arising from it is beyond in
