A NOVEL CAsE.-Yesterday Capt Nathan OAR
ling having understood that a warrant had been
issued for his arrest went to the Office of Justice
Dom, with Montgomery Blair, Esq as his
counsel, to answer the charge and save the officer
a search for him; The charge made was for i'm
properly interfering with officer In the dis
charge Of duty. The warrant had been issued on
an afidavit made before Justice Gilbert A. Glib
erson by Jedediah Cuttings, setting forth that he
was authorized to arrest a cOlored man named
Stafford Payne, who Is claimed by Mrs. Catherine
r. Thompson, of Virginia, as her slave, and is
alleged to be a fugitive The said fugitive was
employed In the hotel Of Mrs. Amanda Beveridge,
and to that house the affiant, with John II. Wise,
an officer, went for the purpose Of making the ar
rest the 18th inst and there he was, he alleges,
tse w,s GsP Ps tps aS
Wit ii falling to set forth In what the interference
consisted IL was necessary to declare an act
upon which the agistrate could exercise judg
| ment Of the improper interference The mere
opinion of the afiant not certainly sufficient
| TO go upon. Mr. Cuttings replied that be would
show the act when 1t came TO trial. Mr.. Blair
said "No, now 10 the time to set forth the dis
tinct charge, In order that the justice may Judge
whether ii is sufficient to issue upon, and II there
is the least appearance Of spite, and the oath Is
made on an untruth, the case must result in an ac
ton for perjury"
Justice Dom decided that as the case was novel
In his practice and the first coming uP-under the
fugitive slave law in this District, he would take
time to consult authority In the meantime, as
Capt Darling had not been arrested, in order to
save him from any modification of feeling, he
would be notified, without arrest, Of the time
when the trial could proceed regularly
FAIR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHURCH OF
THE EPIPHANY-PEcULIAR ATTRAcrIoN.-We
would inform our readers that on Monday even
ing next a fair, under the auspices Of several
young ladies on + street, 10 to be commenced in
the capacOus room of the cottage building, east
OF the Lafayette House, on +, between Thirt enth
and Fourteenth streets lat present occupied by
Mrs. Maffett) for the benefit of the Church of the
Epiphany. in addition to the many other induce
menn offered those DESTROYS Of attending, we
would state that the ''fair damsel' with whom
sTommy'' was much pleased is to be present
and preside at Of the principal tables The
admission fee 10 but trihe and az all are invited,
we have no doubt this announcement Of the
presence Of "Tommy's love-" in itself will draw
a large attendance. s#rs -.-
Dom received information that a colored man had
carried hne pair of blankets to the clothing store
Of SIR. Ward, near Center Market, and offered
them for sale, and that Mr. Ward suspected him
of hs wing stolen them. No officer being about at
the time, the Squire went himself, but as al
the fellow got good look at him he broke and
ran; the Squire followed with the ''hue and CRY"
Finally he was arrested and turned over to the
Squire, who conveyed him to his office. The fell
low gave his name as sam Henson and denied
positively the larceny Of them. The suspicion was
Cav To fh~xrN
further Investigation, and he was retained, with
the blankets, to await further Developments.
The EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS OF ALEXANDRIA
The whole number Of persons over twenty years
Of age unable to read and write, is org OF this
number, but about 20 per cent are white natives,
cent free negroes. During the year ending June
1st 1880, 563 children attended school. This is
exclusive of those from other places In the
county there are i67 persons unable to read and
write. These statements vary little from the
sus Of 1850. There were In the city five insane,
four idiotic, and three blind persons. In the
county there were five insane two idiotic, and
one blind person. - 4. .....-s,[[ .-
CErrRE MARkEr-The market this morning
presented very cheerful appearance; an average
attendance Of dealers and a numerous attendance
Of pure hasers ample supply Of provisions; an
active demand, and prices not advanced above

many melons, OF uncommon size and weight,
were offered for sale, and attracted much atten-
ton they brought much higher prices than are
usually given in this market. 1855 t ar".
CoMNurArIoN-H is understood that efforts,
likely to be successful, are being made to induce
the Executive to commute the sentence OF Edward
Marquis for keeping gaming table to some CON-
paraiively brief term Of imprisonment. The
motive for this undoubtedly Is that arquis 10 the
FIRST man ever brought up under the law, and 1t is
thought hard to visit on him the full penalty
legally attached to the crime.

little too cold to sleep well on dewy grass and
there was slight tendency Of I" Roughs" to the
G uardhouse, they being willing TO endure night
in the cell range rather than sleep on the common.
AUTUMN AND WINTER DRY-GOoDs, CARrKrs,
&c.-We are really surprised at the richness and
extent of Perry Il Bro g stock. They must
expect to supply the whole District, not only rich
fancy goods But in all the staple and lower priced
articles adapted to the wants of the million.
