SABBATH SCHOOL UsIos--The Superntendents
and Teachers Of Sabbath Schools In that portion
of our city known as the Island have formed
Sabbath School Union auxiliary to the Sunday
School Union of the District This union of the
schools has for its object the advancement and ex-
tension of the Sabbath School cause, and TO this
end the superintendent teachers, and friends Of
the cause who may be present at these monthly
reunions are invited to express their sentiments
freely, and thus genial Interchange Of opinion Is
elected which never fail to be interesting and pro-
ductive of good The first regular meeting of the
: Union was held on Tuesday evening last, at Ry-
land chapel, and was rich in those kindly intu-
ences which tend to produce happy results.
RAN AwAY--A horse attached to buggy, be-
longing, as we learn, to Mr.. Owen Shekels started
of this morning about o'clock, and rendered flu
rious by efforts to stop his progress came at fear
fnl rate down Pennsylvania avenue. Coming in
contact with q pile of bricks near the corner of
Tenth street. the vehicle dashed to pieces, the
horse continuing his progress, dragging the shafts
after him. until he came in fearful proximity to the
crowded mart of buyers and sellers on the south
side of the avenue, when his course was fortu-
nately arrested. He stumbled and fell, and was
immediately secured. Twenty bounds more would
have precipitated him among mass of human
beings, young and DID, some Of whom must have
been seriously injured. =.

The account of the Fillmore demonstration Of
Monday evening last, forwarded by telegraph to
the Baltimore American-excepting only that p0r-
ton which relates to Capt Birch and members of
the old night watch who did escort his Honor to
the Kirkwood House, not SO much as protection
against personal violence as guard of honor to
