HYMEN1AL.-Forty licenses-eighteen to
white and twenty-five to colored persons
were issued by the clerk Of the Hastings
Court during last month.
The historical account Of Hymen Is as
follows: Hymen was beautiful youth OF
Athens, who, for the love of a young vir-
gin, disguised himself and assisted at the
Elusinian rites; and at this time he, to-
getber with his beloved and divers other
young ladies of that city, was surprised
and carried off by pirates, who, supposing
him to be what he appeared, was lodged
with his mistress. In the dead of night,
when the robbers were all asleep he cut
their throats. Thence making hasty way
back to Athens, he bargained with the
parents that they would consent to their
marriage, which proving very happy it
became the custom to invoke the name of
Hymen at all nuptials.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF VIRGINIA-LEC-
TURE OF PROFESSOR CUNNINGHAM.-Ago good
audience, composed chiefly Of professional
men and students, but with liberal
sprinklng Of beauty and fashion, assem-
bled in the chemical hall of the Medical
College last evening to hear the opening
lecture of the session of lSG7-'GS. At the
appointed hour the Faculty of the college
entered the building and occupied seats on
the platform, accompanied by ex-Go-
vernon Wise, who had been invited to a
privileged seat.
Dr.. L. D. Cunningham, who has recently
been elected to the Chair Of Anatomy,
then stepped forward, and delivered the
Introductory lecture, which, although it
occupied considerable time in its delivery,
was listened to with profound attention by
an appreciative audience.
After paying a brief but eloquent tri-
butte to his. predecessors in the professional
chair, modestly compared their merits with
his own. The Doctor entered upon dis
course especially adapted to interest
the matriculates in the profession which
they have chosen. Ardent, however, as
seemed his enthusiasm in behalf of the
healing art, it did not appear to be the
speakers aim to paint in colors too rich
its blessings and advantages; but with
equal earnestness he proceeded to portray
its abuses, the dangers to which ply
sicians are exposed, and the errors into
which they are prone to fall. The lecture
was divided into three distinct branches
medical knowledge and its object, the
proper mode Of it's requirement, and the
incentive to its thorough acquisition. Each
of these points was discussed in manner
exhibiting profound thought and unusual
powers of illustration. We regret that
the pressure upon our columns precludes
the publication Of an abstract of the lee
ture.
The institution opens another session
with encouraging prospects, and although
the number of matriculates is not large
those who are early on hand seem enthu
siastic in their desire to master the pro
fession. Many young men who attended
last winter are again in attendance, anc
with undated zeal, and with confidence il
the able Faculty Of the college, are anxious
to proceed with their studies. Last yea
there were sixty matriculates, of whicl
number sixteen were from other States
Twenty students graduated in March. A
many more will probably receive thei
honors next spring.

PUBLIC HALL on CHURCH HILL.-The
residents Of the eastern portion of the city
have for long time felt the necessity Of q
hall which can be used for fairs, lectures,
and similar public entertainments
Churches have been brought into requisl-
tion, and some of them occasionally re-
ceived serious damage. The consequence
has been that the trustees Of these houses
have been compelled, in self-defence, tc
close their doors to some Of these enter
tanments, and the people, who live too tal
from the public halls Of other portions OF
the city to attend entertainments, have
been forced to remain at home.
This want is now about to be supplied
and that portion of our population will
have an opportunity to attend amusements
gotten up expressly for their benefit. We
hear that hall is about to be commenced
and will be rapidly pushed forward to com,
pletion.
The exact location Of the building has
not yet been determined, but from the
character of those who have taken hold
of the enterprise we are assured that the
public demands will be fully met in this as
in other respects. AS soon as the plans
are matured we may have more to say
upon subject of so much Importance tc
many Of our citizens.

IDNEsDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1867.

An ALLEGED MURDERER AND HIS AC-
CoMPLICE BEFORE JUDGE BURNHAM.-Yes-
terday, after Judge Burnham announced
that he would postpone the trial Of Mrs.
Kirby until 10 o'clock to-day, the case of
William Worsham and Margaret Bur-
roughs, colored, charged with the murder
Of colored woman named Betsy Stanley,
was called.
It will be remembered that about
o'clock on the morning Of the 10th Of July
last the body Of the murdered woman was
found in q gully on the extended line of
St. Peter street. The body was laid out
upon shawl in the most decent manner,
with the hands crossed. There were marks
about the neck that indicated strangling,
but no other signs of violence were visible.
An inquest was held, and verdict rem
dered to the effect that the deceased came
to her death by strangulation at the hands
of William Worshan, who had as his
accomplice Margaret Burroughs. The ac-
cused we're then arrested and locked up.
When they came before Judge Burn
ham each plead not guilty, and elected to
be tried separately; whereupon Worsham
was placed at the bar, and the examina-
tion of witnesses commenced. Before the
case had well gotten under way, the court
adjourned. Worsham will be brought up
again.
Messrs. Gregory and Spaulding &
Thomas appeared as counsel for Bur-
roughs, and Messrs. Johnson s Guigon for
Worsham.

POISONED BY ToBACCo.-A prominent
merchant of our city, who has been a great
sufferer from chronic rheumatism, was ad-
vised short time ago to try an applica-
ton Of saturated tobacco leaves to his
swollen leg. He did so; and the result
was SO encouraging that the application
was renewed every morning. On Sunday,
however, not intending To go out of the
house, he determined to allow the poultice
to remain On the afflicted member until
the next day. Before that time arrived
he was seized with a violent sick stomach,
and in short time it was emptied as by
the influence of the most powerful emetic.
a physician being sent for, he pronounced
the tobacco as the cause Of the attack,
and removing the leaves, the leg was found
covered with pimples, into which the juice
Of the tobacco had oozed. The sufferer
was soon utterly prostrated, and the at
tendant physician even despaired of hi:
life, but by the next morning he felt much
better, and is now walking our streets
in comparative good health. We relate
the facts as they are reported by friend
who vouches for them.

convinced that she was insane at the time
of the.trial, if not when the deed was COM
mitted, sent her to the Staunton lunatic
asylum. Here she remained about twelve
months, under the most skilful treatment.
Last March, when, in the opinion Of the
superintendent, she was fully recovered,
she was returned to the city and locked
up in Jail to appear for examination before
Judge Lyons. During her imprisonment
Judge Lyons died. There being no Judge
before whom she could be brought, and
the close confinement beginning TO tell
upon her constitution, she was, by order of
General Schofeld, bailed in the sum of
$1,000 to appear before the first term of
the Judges court. Since being bailed
Mrs. Kirby has been spending her time
with her friends, who all along have minis
tered to her wants.

The F1FTY-DoLLAR CoUNTERF EFT
CAsE.-The case of the negro John Read,
who was arrested on the charge of attempt
ing to pass a counterfeit note upon Will
liam Scott, colored, was called before the
Mayor yesterday. Scott did not appear,
and the examination was postponed until
to-day. The Mayor told Reed that he
would allow him to go at large until to-
day, but would keep as sort of security
for his appearance all of his money-s5o
in greenbacks, about $40 in gold, and s. in
silver. He afterwards gave him about Sc
twenty-five cents in specie to pay his daily
expenses, and told him to leave. :.
From what we can judge, Reed is not
guilty of the charge.

NDtice.-All members of the German St
Johns congregation will attend 4 meeting OF
the congregation at o'clock tonight pune
tually.
BY order of the Vestry.
e.. BERGHEIMER, Secretary.
The occasion of the above call is as fol-
lows:
On the 18th of August last about forty
members of this church addressed COM
munication to the Yestry requesting the
use of the church for one Sunday for the
Rev. J. G. Hoycr to preach. To this COM
munication the Vestry replied that they
had appointed a provisory preacher (Rev.
Mr.. Swortz, of Baltimore). The members
protested against this movement of the
Vestry and called meeting of the con-
gregation for the purpose Of taking action
upon their answer. The meeting was held
at Mr.. Sauer's on the 9th September, and
new Vestry was elected.
After this the old Vestry broke oper
the church door, put on new lock, anC
thereby kept the doors closed, and the
new Vestry from taking charge. The new
Vestry prayed for an injunction before
Judge Meredith; but was refused. Al
appeal was then made to General Granger
who ordered Lieutenant Hambrick to in.
vestigate the matter.
The following is list Of the members oi
the old and new Vestry:
Old VeStry.-Frederick Brauer, presi-
dent; j. Boschen, vice president; William
Trimmer, treasurer; G. Bergheimer, SO.
cretary; 3. Brauer, F. busch, r. Selling
F. Dentzler, L. Paul, P. Heltrich, Ii. Metz.
ger, and J. Messerschmidt.
Nep Vesty.-Fr. Turgcns, president
William Wildt, secretary; j. FL. Schu-
mann, Ebcrh. Lohmann, George Leonhard,
and Louis Hoyer.
About half-past I o'clock Commissioner
Hambrick took the stand and called the
meeting to order. Mr.. Bergheimer, the
secretary Of the old Vestry, then called a
roll of the members Of the church.
A discussion here commenced as to what
constituted member, during which the
audience became much excited, when
Commissioner Hambrick called them to
order, and said Gentlemen, you have not
fear, come here in the right spirit, and
DO not think it will do any good to remain
here longer. You should have more re.
spect for the house of God. Before We
adjourn propose that the TRENDS OF MIR
Hoyer get up q petition and let it bt
signed by all Of the members who wisi
him to preach one Sunday. If a majority
of the members sign it then decide thai
he shall preach.
This proposition seemed to meet with
general favor, and the secretary drew up
petition. The roll was then called, and
each member, as his name was called
stepped forward, and signed either for OF
against the invitation. A majority of the
members present favored the invitation.
Commissioner Hambrick stated that the
petition would be sent around to the mem
bers who were not present and after
stating that he would call another meet.
ing if he deemed it necessary, declared
the meeting adjourned. The audience
then dispersed.

fined until day or two since, when bis
