. DISEASED MEAT.-The committee of butch
ers, appointed by the Mayor on Saturday last,
to inspect a lot of meat in the possession OF
Michael Markham and Andrew Englehardt,
stored in a house in Hammerdinger's alley,
after thorough examination made a report
in which they say: "We unhesltatingly declare
that said meat is unit for sale or use. We
cannot. pronounce judgment as to the condition
of the animal previous to its being slaughtered
from the fact that it is now in pickle, but we
do. pronounce the meat unfit for use"

y Acting upon this report, the Mayor at once
issued orders to the Superintendent Of Police
to have the meat in question at once seized
and buried, and the orders have been obeyed.

g iSUcCEssFUEi Observation-Disclosures may be
said concerning the amount of benefit the prac-
tice of medicine has conferred upon mankind,
the advantages derived from the art Of surgery
are 50 patent as to be universally acknowledged as
absolutely necessary and indispensable to the
comfortable existence of the race and so many
persons in this city and vicinity have, during
the last three Or four months, been the recip-,
ients,ef some Of the most important and salts
factory Of these Advantages that their cases
have; oNceeasioned more than ordinary remark.
The leases alluded to are several late
81 successful operations performed by DR.. M! M.

Il mus, or lcross+ eyesr77t the; blind having had their
yvissiionSrsstored, and theLsquint.eyed having had
the axis of the eyeballs made parallel It can
we'll be imagined, and is therefore almost need
less to mention thatabhose upon whom these
successful operations have tooen.l performed,

The FAIR.-The NJ. E. Church South Fair,
for the benefit Of the Sunday School Of that
church, is still in full operation, and will prob
ably be continued until Thursday night next.
Saturday night last, though cold and unpropi,
tious, found a, large crowd enjoying themselves
and spending their money freely, much to the
qualification OF the managers. The winning
ways of the ladies who superintend the, fair,
and whose bright eyes plead even more beseech-
ingly than their dulcet voices, never fail in
moving the most stolid, and succeed in loosen
ing the purse-string Of even the hardest-heart-
ed while the logic with which they convince
one that he will be sure to get more than the
worth of his money is most original and con-
elusive. No one oughttofai visiting this fair
before it closes.
SUNK.-Between 9 and 10 o'clock on Friday
night, the barge "Renown,' loaded with &c.
600 brick, manufactured by Messrs. Francis &
Co, Of Alexandria, sunk across. the channel
opposite Riley's wharf. She had been imper-
fectly fastened upon reaching her wharf, and
when the heavy north west wind of last night
came up, broke loose and sheared off into the
channel, at the bottom Of which she now lies.
The expense of raising her, and. damage to
bricks will probably amount to three or four
hundred dollars Washington Star.
Com WEATHER-We have had for a day
