Of yesterday has the following items:
eddiRg Ineident.-On Monday night Philip
Nuckols, a resident of little Petersburg, dou-
bled his usual happy estate by getting splced
to a sstemale woman," and undertook TO cele
brate the suspicious event by firing a salute
with an old Belgian musket. The fuse went
off after good deal OF effort by striking il upon
the ground, but at the same time one Of Muck
ols' fingers went OF too.

"SToP !"-This simple legend which, during
the impeachment excitement has met the eye,
scattered through the newspapers, and posted
on the streets at every available place. was not,
as many supposed, an admonition either TO the
President or Congress to stop, but was a word
of advice TO the million; and a full explana.
ton Of TIE mysterious word will be found in
our advertising columns to-day. 1t means that
those W no desire to save money-and who does
noi-shou'd d, if they desire to pure base trunks,
satchels, seddlery, harness, and fancy articles
of leather, stop at the store of J. s. Topham IL
Co, No. $40 Seventh street, who are selling out
their stock at the very lowest rates Only this
and nothing more" But from the crowds who
stop ct No. 500 Seventh street, we convinced
that .there is nothing like leather" if it is
properly advertised.

THE WEATHER.-At no time during this very
Indictment winter has the weather been more
unpleasant than for the last few DAYS, both
over head and under foot The temperature is
chilly and the air is damp, while the snow
covered ground and slippery pavements make
it very uncomfortable for all who are exposed
to outdoor influences. Every department of
business suffers in consequence, and were il not
for the activity in political matters greater
apathy and depression would prevail.
Along the river front everything is compare.
lively at stand still. The regular steamers
and tow. boats are running, but few passengers
are patronizng them. The Government steam
tug Fisher left 9th street wharf at IL O'Clock to-
day, for Fort Washington, with stores and off,
GERS and men connected with the fort: and at 10
O'Clock a private tug passed up the channel
with two vessels In tow for Georgetown.

LAND AND DEPOSIT AssoCIATIoN.-Thes Sec
ond meeting of those DESTROYS of forming q
"Union Land and Deposit Association was
held last evening at Temperance Hall, on K
chair, and Mr. G. +. Needham Secretary, who
read the Constitution reported by the Commit
tee.
Senator Pomeroy made a few remarks saying
that it was of the highest importance to every
young man to be possessed Of some land; no
Young man should start out in life without
making some provisions for the future. There
is nothing more deplorable than to see a young
man spend ng all he earns. He had passion.
ne said, for making money and saving il. and
he would rather encourage than censure this
passion with others. When man lives to on
old age and has not laid up anything he feels
that his life has been a failure Young men in
the Departments here should save at least s25
per month Nothing appeared to him worse
than TO see young man receiving good salary
80 poor that he cannot get married, and If mar.
rjed so poor that lac cannot have q baby.
The Senator being one Of the Impeachment
Committee he was Obliged to leave the meeting
and Mr.. NJ. +. Wheelock took the chair.
After some remarks by Colonel Wheelock as
to the advantages Of being possessed Of land
Mr. Needham suggested that those present
wishing to become members Of the proposed
Association should step forward and pay the
initiation fee. One person responded, and the
meeting adjourned.
