MANCHESTER ITEMS.

NIGHT SCKooL.-We learn that the Rev
B. E. Cosby has opened a night school a,
his school-room, on Thirteenth street, fol
the benefit Of those who cannot attend
school during the day. This is a fine op.
portunity offered the young men of the
town to obtain an education whom circum.
stances have debarred the privilege during
and since the war.
MEET1NG.-The Board of Trustees for
the town Of Manchester will meet at the
Office of the town treasurer this afternoon
at o'clock.
PHILoLoGIANs.-Th Philologian So
ciety will hold its next regular meeting in
the Odd Fellows Hall tomorrow friday
evening at s O'Clock.
This association was organized in Febru-
ary 1866, and numbers among its men,
bers some of our best citizens. It has for
its object the moral and intellectual i'm
provement of its members. Such being
its designs, we hope to see it thoroughly
established as permanent institution "
Of Manchester. We advise the young men
especially to give it their support.
The CoURTs.-Henry Beriven was ar
rested by policemen Lowell and Jarvis for
violating town ordinance in exposing for
sale, without license, the contents of q
welll6lled "portable dry goods store.''
He was examined by Justice Hancock,
who imposed the usual fine and good
advice.

COMPETITION IS THE LIFE OF TRADE"
This is q truism which no sane man will
have the hardihood to deny in the present
dav of hustle and activity in all branches
of trade. In no one department of traffic,
however, has the adage been more strik-
ingly illustrated than among our retail
rrocers. These institutions have multi
plied greatly in Richmond during the past
two years, and the rivalry among the pro-
prietors, though every way honorable, is
greater than at any previous period. One
capital idea among this class of dealers is
the introduction of delivery wagons. These
vehicles are gotten up with an eye to Or
nament as we'll as utility, and their
neatly painted bodies, handsomely-lettered
covers, drawn by fast trotters, and ma
naged by skilful drivers, may be seen
fitting through our streets at all hours.
Their convenience to customers cannot be
disputed. Formerly, the purchasing OF
grocery supplies, and the inevitable lug
ging home of the molasses jug and bacon
middling, were as unpleasant to house
keepers as they were burthensome. Now
the system has entirely changed. You
leave your orders, pay your money, and
ere you reach your home the goods are IN
your storeroom. Any article, from a
clothes pin to washing machine, or from
mushroom cracker to q barrel OF -four, is
delivered free and in nice order. Thanks
to an honest rivalry and desire to please

THE ALLEGED OUTRAGE on A YOUNG

and violent resistance, violated her person.

the arrest, but contented himself by sim.

whatever. He was taken to the Second
station-house, and will appear before the
Mayor this morning for examination.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE BAUMHARD- SALOON SHOOTING AF.
FA1R-BERRYMAN EXAMINED AND SENT ON
TO THE HUsTINGs CoURT.-Mr. John Berry.
man appeared before the Mayor yesterday
morning to answer the charge of having
shot and wounded Mr.. Conrad Baumhard
in his saloon on Monday evening last.
Mr.. Baumhard was first called to the
witness stand, and testified that between
and o'clock Monday evening Bergman,
accompanied by two Or three friends, came
into his saloon and called for drinks. The
party drank after which, witness showed
them the improvements he had recently
made in his saloon, all the while conversing
with Bergman in the most friendly man
ner. Bergman, who was little under
the influence of liquor, attempted to get
up quarrel with witness, who, wishing to
avoid it, moved off and got behind his bar.
Bergman followed, when witness told him
he thought he could settle the affair with
out having fuss. Bergman laid his cane
upon the bar counter, drew q pistol, and
laying it by his cane, said 81 have another
like this, and we must fight, or I'll shoot
you," and then struck witness with his fist.
Witness then seized the cane and struck
| Bergman. He recollected nothing after
that, stating that he was greatly excited.
Mr.. Anthony Leverman saw the diff
Guilty, heard the parties quarrel, and sub
stantiated the statement of Mr.. Baum
hard in regard to Berryman's laying the
pistol on the counter and offering to fight.
Saw Bergman shoot, and heard Baum
hard exclaim "I'm shot,"
Mr.. William F. Noel and DR.. j. B.
Coakley, who examined Mr.. Baumhard
after he was shot, testified that the ball
passed through the little finger of the left
hand, and then through the coat, sus-
pender, and shirt, on the left shoulder, to
the flesh, intlcting slight wound.
Mr.. Munson testified that he witnessed
the difficulty; that he interposed bis um-
brella between Bergman and Baumhard
when the latter was striking at Bergman
thought that he thereby saved Bergman
from receiving several severe blows; did
not pretend to say who was the aggressor.
Some other witnesses, whose testimony
was substantially that Of Mr.. Baumhard,
were then examined; after which, the
Mayor announced that he would require
$500 of Mr.. Bergman as security for his
appearance to answer the charge before
the Judge Of the Hastings Court on the
second Monday of this month. The secu-
| rity was given, and the accused departed.

EFFECTS OF THE HEAT.-We met young
lady on one of our streets yesterday whose
face presented a most singular and un-
natural appearance. Unadorned, it would
have been one Of rare beauty, but too
free use of paint, coupled with the cx-
treme heat, had so disfgured the features
that we doubt if her most intimate friends
would have recognized her. The perspi-
ration had trickled down in tiny stream
let's, removing the paint and stripping the
countenance as etlectually as though it
had been done with delicate brush. A
very comely but graphic remark of a
darky near US affords better description
than any we can think of: " Fore God

| Masonic BUILDING AssoCIATIoS.-The
Richmond Masonic Building Association
was yesterday incorporated by the Hon
John A. Meredith, Judge of the Circuit
Court of this city, with the following
officers named for the first year:
President.-William L. Maule.
First Vice- ce-President.-J. Grattan Cabell.
Second ce-President. t.-Powhatan Wei
siger.
Treasurer and Secretary.-R. E. Ma
comber.
Trustees.-James ". Archer, John s..
Calvert, John F. Regnault, James A. Scott,
L. D. Crenshaw, Jr., William Loyenstein.
The object of this Association is to erect
a Masonic hall on the corner of Main and
Third streets, to be used for Masonic and
other purposes. The par value of the
stock has been fixed at 500 per share, and
it has nearly all been taken. The stock
will not be confined to the Order, how
ever. Any person may subscribe.
A most eligible site has been selected
for the new hall at the corner of Third and
Main streets. The lot fronts sixty feet on
both streets, thus securing light and ven-
tilation for the building on nearly every
side. This location is retired yet central,
and the hall, when completed, we are
assured, will be model of architectural
skill and beauty, and an ornament to the
city.

THE RAGE FOR SECONDHAND FURNITURE
BIZ AUCTIoN.-Since the day Noah's ark
rested on Ararat, and its household effects
were sold at auction, the rage for second
hand furniture at auction sales has been
universal and irrepressiblc. There is a
weakness in human nature for auctions,
which can be accounted for only on the
supposition that one takes it for granted
whatever is purchased under the hammer
must, per necesSitate, be deemed bargain.
This weakness applies to both sexes and
all conditions. Every day illustrates this
fact in our midst, and we presume the ex-
pericnce of every other community is very
similar to this. In the way Of household
furniture is this fact especially cxemplifed.
First class dealers in new furniture sit
idly all the day long, lamenting the dull
ness of the times and the tardiness of
sales; but let an auction of second hand
goods be announced, and such rush to be
present, the circus nor the camp-meetiDg
scarcely ever witnessed. Delicate ladies
will squeeze through the crowds, and men
of remarkable obesity will submit to as
much pressure as the science Of hydro
states could indict, only to get chance at
the great bargains. There is no sacrifice
of personal comfort they will not make upon
this combined altar of mammon and
curiosity.
peculiarIcharm, fascination, attaches
to the scene, and the auctioneer's voice is
music to their ears. They had rather lister

dear madam or sir /" Us the sex Of the
purchaser chances to be, than to hear the

tag, or Jenny Lind.
These reflections were suggested day
or two since at sale of household iurni
ture which took place at the residence O
gentleman some two miles from the
heart of Richmond. The day was intensely
hot, and a steep hill interposed be
tween the city and the place OF sale
These untoward circumstances did no
dampen the ardor of buyers or repress the
desire of those who were determined t.
be present. At an early hour large
crowd had congregated, and among The
number were ladies of delicate health, ant
gentlemen lame and dyspeptic, who hac
come all the way from Richmond. AT th'
appointed moment the sale commenced
and every article put up, from spttooI
to piano, was knocked down at most ex
cellent prices. The auctioneer smiled gra
ciously, and the buyers smiled in turn

senting a picture of suavity most pleasan
