TIE DAILY Noon PRAYER MEETINGS,
Which are carried on at the Dinwiddie
NJ. E. Chnrch, are rapidly Increasing in
interest, and are beginning to attract, in
no small degree, the attention Of the pub
lie generally, and especially of the la
dies. Yesterday, there were between Eve
and six hundred present.
The ladies turned out largely, and the
young gentlemen, too, Gomez out in
goodly numbers, as might be expected
from the extraordinary attractions held
out to them.

MAYORS CoURT-Lewis Heller, who
seems we'll pleased with the accommoda-
tons provided by Capt. Guy, again pre-
sented himself for lodging. This is the
third time lately, and Lewis is likely to
become one Of the fixtures of the watch
house.
G. G. Smith, white man, having the
appearance Of a recent importation from
the boys of the Dismal Swamp, and
whose phiz reminded one strongly of the
knight of the rueful countenancc, was
found quietly tucked away under porch
on Church street by the guardians of the
night, who, after repeated efforts, fnally
succeeded in dslodying him and discoy-
cred that by his recent devotions at the
shrine of Bacc1us, he had almost lost the
use Of his limbs. By the kind assistance
of the Charles, he succeeded in reaching
the Watch House, where he was provi-
ded with more comfortable lodgings, and
this morning made to pay 81 for the at
tention he received.

SWEEPING THE STREETs.-We would
suggest to the parties having charge
of the matter, the propriety of sweep
Ing the streets in the business por-
ton of the city at shutdown, or be-
tween that time and night-fall. The
advantages Of the suggested arrangement,
are: first, about that time the stores are
being closed, and the clouds of dust
would be excluded from their shelves
and counters, where it now settles much
to the injury of the goods upon them
Again, about this hour the ladies and
children are more likely to be in the
Drawing Room or Parlour, than in the
Simeon usually gotten up by the broems
Of the city scayengers.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
MFe strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeayor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland d Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
SO walk around, and give them call.

BURNED TO DEATH.-A little son Of
Mr.. Dowdell, residing in Bourke's bull
ding upon Middle street Portsmouth, was
burned TO- death yesterday afternoon.
The little fellow was seen to 90 into the
kitchen, and in perhaps half an hour
from that time he was found lying badly
burned at the head of the stairway lead
ding from the kitchen to the upper
dwelling. A block Of burnt matches
were found by his side, and it is suppos-
ed that he VS. playing with them, and set
his clothes on fire, and then assembled the
stairs; but his mother being in the front
part of the house, his cries were not
heard. As soon as the child the found,
DR.. Bilisoly was called in, and rendered
all the relief possible, but alas! its burns
were too severe for medical skill to affect.
The little fellow lay in agonizing pain
until about two o'clock this morning,
when death relieved its suf1erings. lie
was about years OF age. The parents
have the sympathies Of the community
at large, in their sad and unfortunate
bereavement

4 Coon fINE.-'rhey are having an
unusually good time Of it just now at
the Gosport Navy Yard; at any rate we
should think so, as Uncle Sam is paying
ofthe employees of the Yard. We under
stand that at this pay day, all will be
paid off up to the last of February, and
that next Monday they will be paid for
the time from the last of February up to
the 18th inst, and that at the next resu-
lar pay day which will be the 9Th Of
next month. everything is to be squared
up and matters will once more 90 on
with the proper regularity. Eve suppose
the Merchants Of Portsmouth are exceed
ingly glad to see this, as the non-pay-
ment for some time past in the Y ard has
made their customers soirregular in their
payments that it has almost stagnated
business. BIT now the old clock will
again be set to work, and we hope
that she may ever continue to 90
with regularity, never again to run
down, and that she may be regu-
larry wound up the fifth and TWEEN
tieth of each month.

Horse and Buggy Sto1en.-Mr. William G.
Conn, of Pittsburgh, was in this city yesterday
in search of horse and buggy stolen from him
on Saturday. The thief, who assumed the
name of L. S. Woodruff, was over a medium
size, spare fuce, dark complexioncd; dressed in
a black suit. The horse is blood bay, square
built heavy tail, star on the forehead, name
worn off near the ears; about fifteen hands high,
natural trotter, and six years old. The buggy
has been in use for some time; has split on the
hind cross-bar over the spring. Mr. Conn
tracked the fellow to Holidays Cove, near
Steubenviile, and there lost sight of him. A
man was seen early yesterday morning, driving
horse and buggy, answering the above de-
scription, down Main street, from which it is
supposed the thief is in this vicinity.

Receaing. Ohio is still receding at this
point, with only about three feet water in the
channel. The boats lie high and dry, evincing
no signs of life on board, except an occasional
individual scrnbbing around the guards in a
sort of idle, time-kilIing way. A large coal
boat passed up yesterday, drawn by single
horse that waded through the shallow water
with the greatest ease. We heard man say
yesterday that steamboating was ''played out"
for this season. 1t really looks like it.

Neutrality-suspicious. MONDAY sun is still
ardent, but yesterday was lovely day. The
breeze that brushed coolingly over US, called up
all those suggestive sensations derived from
huckleberry tramps and squirrel shooting
among the hills aud country. There is one glo-
rious satisfaction about this sort of weather, and
that is that though the noontidc sun may be hot,
the nights arc cool and permit of old fashioned
sleeps. The corn is tasscling just now, and ar-
ter takes on its tassels there is little to be
feared from protractcd hot weather.
