10:55.-One of the doors being opened and
the crowd being in measure repressed the
hall filled up rapidly. At this hour nearly
1000 people are in the hall, and outside the
doors, in the immediate vicinity, 5000 TO
1000 more are standing eager for admit
lance.

have decided to try and force an adjourn
ment after a few ballots.

and mild until about 8 o'clock, when it be.
came clear. There were two prisoners and
two dodgers at the station house.
The Mayor this morning disposed of the

The HORSE STEALING CAsES.-It seems
that the people of Fairfax county do not
approve of the action of the Alexandria
county court in acquitting Eugene Murray
on two indictments for horse stealing, for
the Herald, published in that county, says
Their acquittal was great surprise to
many people of this county who were famil-
lar with the facts as produced in evidence
at the trial.
SHOULD Murray and Pritchard be acquit-
ted in all the cases now pending against
them in the Alexandria county court, they
will be Immediately rearrested and carried
to Prince William county, to answer numer-
Gus indictments for horse stealing in that
county"
FISH CULTURE.-The Potomac river cat.
fish has at last found place in the hearts
of the United States fish commissioner, and
500 of those fish are now en- route to Wis
consin in one Of the commissions care.
They will be distributed among the lakes
and rivers of that State. The same car
that carried the catfish to strange land
also carried the last shipment of Potomac
shad for this season. The shipment consist
cd Of csc, 900 young fish. They will be dis.
tributed in the waters Of Colorado. The
station on Sixth street in Washington and
the cars will soon be arranged for the fall
distribution of millions of young German
carp.
CENTENARY OF AMERICAN METHODIST
Sunday next will be celebrated by the chill
dren of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South as commemorative of the centenary
of American Methodism The afternoon
service will commence at o'clock, at which
praises to God will be offered up. At night
at o'clock the services will be peculiarly
interesting, and at which several beautiful
hymns will be rendered. The vocal powers
of the scholars of the Sunday school of this
church have always been regarded as No. l,
and those who may attend the celebration
will be sure of a musical and spiritual treat.
The LICENSE LAW.-The construction by
the Mayor of the license law passed at the
last meeting OF the City Council (which was
almost identical with the one of the pre-
vious year, has given dissatisfaction to the
two produce brokers in this city. They
took out licenses as commission merchants,
the cost of which is $50, but the Mayor says
their business comes under the head of
commercial brokers, for which the license
is 800, and if they deal in stocks they must
pay $50. The question has been submitted
to the Finance Committee of the City Coun-
Gil, who will consider it at the next meeting.

FAIRFAX SUPERvIsORs.-The Fairfax
county Board of Supervisors met on Mon
day last, and transacted considerable bust,
ness. The bids for building the Jail and
dwelling were rejected, and the time eX-
tended for receiving bids until June 10th,
as will be seen by all advertisement pup
lished elsewhere. The Board fixed the tax
lew for 1854 as follows: County tax, twenty
cents on 500 of valuation of real and per-
sonal property and railroad lines. County
school tax, district school tax and road tax,
ten cents on 500 of said valuation IN every
district of the county, fifty cents on every
tythe and fifty cents on every dog. Com
mttees were appointed to ascertain the
cost of building bridges over Pohlck run
and Doge run, the latter near Langley.

HURT WITH BRICK.-A young man
named George Taylor, a cart driver, was
badly cut on the head with brick, by
colored boy named William Willis while on
the base ball grounds on Wednesday night
last. Taylor it is said was lying on one OF
the benches on the grounds, when Robert
Willis, a brother of William, overturned it,
Taylor caught the boy and threw him to the
ground when William, who was standing
near seized brick and struck him violently
on the head slightly fracturing the skull and
painfully hurting him. To-day William
Willis was arrested on warrant charging
him with assault, but as Taylor could not
appear the case was continued. 1t was re-
ported this. morning that Taylor was dead
nut the report was untrue.

THROWING BALLS IN THE STREETS
Ever since the base ball fever eliminated
in an epidemic boys have been warned OF
the danger of throwing balls, in the
streets of the city, and the police have en-
deavored TO curtail the nuisance as much as
possible. But of course few men find 1t
impossibIe to watch all the refractory ur.
chins in town, and consequently the fun u,
is still carried on in many localities. This
morning couple of well-grown boys en-
gagged in the delectable sport of throwing
with all their strength heavy ball at eacn
other on Duke, between Royal and Fairfax
streets, until their plaything coursed
throug b costly pane in the window OF the
residence of Mrs. Washington Blythe, alter
which they both scampered oil.
