EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Abt*fctio!* Cask?Wc copy the follow in? from the Baltimore American, of thi; morning: ?? On Saturday night last. a girl named Kin eline Palmer. aeed fourteen year?, left the rcf idence of her father in Georgetown, D C.. >ind came on to thi? city in the company of a man named MiKendrcc Dean, who had gained her affection?. It was not known to her parent* whither she had gone, nor was it suspected that she was with Dean, as no knowledge was had of any intimacy between them. A party was found who stated that they both left in the same train for this city, and on Tuesday after noon the father came on in search of his child. The police were informed of all the facts in possession of the father, and at six o'clock the captain of the eastern police station was re quested to put his officers on the watch. About nine o'clock that night, officer (latter found the house to which Dean had taken her. and where he had been living with her as his wife ever since their arrival in the city. Both were arrested and taken to the station, where they were kept all night. Dean was committed to jail to await the action of the father, who prom ised to let the magistrate know as soon a-> he reached home what would be done. The girl stated that she left her home, expecting that Dean would marry her as soon as they reached this eity. and her credulity was wrought u)*on by hi* promises to do a faithful part by her as his wife She is of very prejKissessing appear ance. aud bitterly repents of her folly in hav ing left her home for one who was wholly un worthy to be trusted. ??The father left for Washington city at nine o'clock on Wednesday morniug. with the un derstanding that he would telegraph to Justice McAllister what course he would pursue, lie was told if no communication was received from him before 6 o'clock p. m.. that Dean would be discharged. At six o'clock the coun sel for Dean demanded his discharge, but .1 u-s Jice McA. refused, and said he should wait mlil nine o'clock yesterday morning, when, if w dispatch should be received from Washing ton. be would discharge the accused. Accord ingly. ** nine o'clock yesterday, he was dis charged from custody, and said he should take the first afternoon train for Georgetown. At half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. Uie fol lowing despatch was received: ??Washington. July 12.?R. A. McAllister, in agist rate : The grand jury of Washington eounty. in this District, have indicted McKon iirce Dean for a high misdemeanor, and a bench warrant is now in my hands. I am in structed by the United states Attorney for this District to request that you w'dl bring h;m on to Washington, aud deliver him into my hands. ? Joxah D. Hoover, Marshal. C." Justice McAllister at once sent a despatch to Mr. Hoover, advi-ing him of the discharge* ?>t Dean, and informing him that be would probably reach Washington late in the after noon. where an opportunity would be afforded /or hi? arrest. Death or 3Ir Hills ?Intelligence was re ceived in this eity. by letter, yesterday, that Mr. Josiah B. Hills, formerly of Alexandria, Virginia, and afterwards a residen' of Wash ington. was murdered on the l3tb o.'May last. by Indians, within -00 miles of Cre?c?ut city. California. It is said that be. together with five others, were on theirjourney to the mine*, when they were attacked by Indians, and foarof the party killed Mr. Hiils and the other survivor su. ceeded ia elu lingthe navage- ; and. alter pro ceeding several miles, reached a shanty, ii. which he lay to from excessive fatigue, leaving his companion!" keep goard. But the latter, for a few minute*, left the premises, and on returning discovered that the same In dians had not only came up and entered the shanty, but had inflicted on Mr. Hills a mor tal stab, and were in tw Pet of making their work doublv ?uie by cutting kit throat. They fled, h wevcr. without accomplishing U*i. pur !***? ? .. ? . , Mr. Hills has left a family .'J4 thweuy. who-*e grief, it may be conceived, i* yondcied addi tionally acute in consequence of f??e manner m which his life was so suddenly an* shoe-a* ingly terminated.

Swit zerland. performed in a manner of which even Alpine bands might boast. Most appropriately succeeded the national air of the World's , greatest republic "Yankee Doodle;" both air? such as are only wafted aloft by the voice of freemen. Thi" introduction of national air? ??f different countries, is but a ju?t compliment to the many worthy foreign residents of our city, besides giving bearer- the characteristics, as it were, of the various nation? inhabiting the globe. The K vw Indians, who came to Washington on M >n?lay. to have one of their delegation made a chief, and for '? a big pile of money." were disappointed in their hopes. The acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs. (Mr. Mix.) however, eauscd them to be furnished with clothing, an article of which they were sadly k deficient, they having worn out their leggins and moccasins by the rough road they had travelled. They were yesterday afternoon placed in the three o'clock trainot cars, home ward hound ; Mr Henry Bittinger, a messen ger in the Indian bureau, intending to accom pany them a? far as Pittsburg, where they wiil be placed on a steamboat for St Louis, at which eity the Superintendent of Indian Af fairs will see that they are duly forwaidod t ? their homes in Kansas territory. They did not leave in a particularly good hum ?r. and grumbled considerably while at the station, because of the disappointment of ? their h'>pe?\ and the failure of their voluntary mission. ? E Chircu.?At a meeting of the vestry of Grace Church held yesterday, resolutions were unanimously pacsed. offering unto Al mighty God "prai-?c and thanksgiving for their deliverance from the great and apparent dan gers wherewith they were eucompassed;" ten dering their sincere thanks to the firemen of the city, and to the citizen? of the 7th Ward, lor their early, gallant and noble efforts, amid the peril of tire, to rescue the Church edifice from total destruction by the devouring flames: and requesting the Hector of the Church, the Hey. Alfred Holmead. to assemble the cougre ^ Ration on Sabbath next in the Church, although partially burnt, for the worship of Almighty tiod. and that the services of the Church be continue.!, as osual. without intermission. The following resolution was likewise passed by the v?try of the Church : "Krsulrtd.

The Coxcert last night at Carusi's Saloon, for the benefit of St. Vincent's ?n<l St Joseph 's Orphan Asylum, wa-s largely attended. Many tickets were previously sold to persons who were not present on the occasion, hut who con tributed their money freely in aid of those be nevolent institution?. However, all the seats were occupied; a fact peculiarly gratifying to the friends of the orphan. We may truly fay. therefore, that the concert was highly su c cessful. The singing by the ladies and gentlemen, who generously volunteered their services, was delightful; and the auditory Mgnified their ap preciation of the music by oft-repeated and impatient applause. The programme embraced gem* from the most eminent composers, which, we repeat, were indeed creditably rendered. Professor Daunas presided at the piano-forte, which was from the manufactury of Jiallet. Davis & Co.?a sweet toned and powerful in strument. loaned from Mr J. F. Ellis' music store.

Several witnesses testified?one of them saying that the difficulty between the parties originated in Know Nothingism. The Judge remarked, that had nothing to do with the in vestigation; it mui necessary to state only the circum-tances of the a sauli. and battery; and he further remarked, that both oi them tnu-t have been drunk, and that every man has a ri^ht to his opinion, and ought to accord t;? others the privilege which he el.iims for him self.

Tiik Bov Ridgewav.?Mr. Editor: The h>e:il columns of the Star, of last Wednesday, contain a report of the arrest of my son, charged with the theft "of a port-monnab* from a lady in the market,'' which I respect fully ask permission to explain. The lady, it is true, lost her property in some way. and, thinking that my hoy had taken it. seized him end ;? - use I him of the theft: when he denied it. ar-1 fought the lady. For this suspicion, he was committed to jail for stealing, and also l<.r the assault, by Justice Morsell. and now lies in prison. These are the facts, or substance of them; but there are matters involved in the iirx-est by the officer and action of the magis trate that should be known to the public. It is a fact that he is, as stated, '? a lad well known to those who attend our markets," but i- equally well known to be insane. This the officer mu.-t have known, *nd the Justice also, and. therefore, no such action on their part should have taken place. He is not only in sane, but has so been pronounced by D< Miller, who gave ine an order to send him to the " Insane Asylum," but that building not being completed, 1 have no other alternative but to wait until he can be properly cared for. The frequent arrests of him I therefore think most' unwarrantable, and the present the lea.-t excusable. It certainly appears al though the officers and magistrates who have ttiu< lu ted, can have only done so for sake ot the fees, for when the boy heretofore has not had money to pay costs. 1 have had to do so for him. which I am illy able to spare, being a poor man. Other justices have fined him on account of his prompt rc.-entment of insults and asr.ults. These things are done from spite. I have uo doubt, because of my Anti Know Nothing principles. I was one of the seven auxiliary guards who voted for that la mented eitizen. Mayor Maury, but resigned before Mayor Towers had uu opportunity to turn mc out. as he did the other six. This unprincipled faction, have therefore persecu ted me ever since, through my poor boy, and otherwise. I tru.-t. however, that the whole matter may be brought to the test before court, when I aui certain my assertions in the main will b<* proven, and my feelings vindicated from the reflections cast up >n mc and my family by those miscreant officials. July 13 H. Ridgewav. [Note ?The boy in question is well-known around the Star office, being a regular seller of newspapers at all the public places. He is epileptic, and though it is very difficult to make him understand anything, he is remark ably industrious and attentive to his business, ami is noted among the boy- for taking care of his money. On account of his peculiarities of temper and apparent obtuscncss of intellect, tiic re-t of the boys are always - running rigs'' on him. which he is ?ure to resent with a fight.
