Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1856-06-24

A VERY DESIRABLE LITTLE FARN.-Ths
tract OF land advertised In the Star by Robert
Ball, administrator, to be sold on Thursday
next, Is we'll known to the editor, who does
not hesitate to call attention to it as being one
OF the most desirable places of the kind within
many miles Of Washington 1t is situated
within mile and half of the Virginia end
OF the Georgetown aqueduct. The soil is
naturally good, and is now susceptible of the
highest Improvement 1t is we'll watered,
lies capitally for cultivation, and has fine
building sites upon it. Altogether, We do not
know its superior anywhere for one who de-
sires such place. 1t is positively to be sold
as advertised, and can probably be obtained
at great bargain.
TEE NATIONAL THEATRE. Opera
Troupe is now in the full tide of successful
operation at the National, keeping the town
wide awake this drewsy, dog day weather,
with their inimitable mirth. provoking songs,
dances, and burlesques. We cordially COM
mend this place of entertainment to citizens
and strangers as just the place to get filed to
the brim with pleasurable emotions at a time
OF the year when most other amusements are
voted heavy and uncongenial The KunkePs
are deservedly popular with the ladies, since
with all the comic originality and burlesque
OF the Troupe, there is never mingled ought
to offend the refined taste. For the care ex-
ercised in this respect we think the Kunkel's
cannot be too much applauded. 1t will be
seen by the advertisement that q rich bill is
offered tonight.
UNLICENSED PAwNBRoKERs - Complaints
have been made that persons operating as
pawnbrokers without license have established
themselves in this city. Persons have lost
articles Of jewelry, &C., and suspect that their
property has been obtained by those persons.
No evidence can be given that they have
them, or they would be brought up for an of.
fence against the criminal law. The officers
have taken the matter in hand, and intend to
ferret out the parties. They will be tried
upon the Corporation cases, for following this
business without license. The penalty for
every offence is fine of forsy-fiye dollars.
The STREETS AND CUTTERS For some
time past but little attention has been given
to the condition Of certain streets and cutters
We hear much complaint from various parts
OF the city, and have been requested to call
the attention of the city officers to them The
new officers will soon enter upon the discharge
of their duties, and We hope they will use
every effort to give entire satisfaction. Thew
will have much to do at first in removing the
accumulations, but that having been done, it
will not require much exertion to keep the
neglected places clean
