Let us arouse him, and take him home.” This was enough for George; he was, as ever, pre- ared to render kind offices. So Samuel and eorge awakened the sleeper, each seizing an arm and lifting him to bis feet. Jake took fire at this interference with his slumber, and demanded the cause of theirconduct. ‘* Come, eome,’’ said George, ‘‘ none of your nonsense. Do you know that you're drunk, and that you are liable to be dragged to the watch-house ? Don't be foolish. yell take you home.” * But I don’t want to go. and I consider your offer impertinent,’’ iesponded Jake. Let me go.” Se saying, he broke loose from the two having him in charge, and was in the act of assuming a belligerent attitude. showin: sign of fight, when Samuel, considering that the joke had been carried far enough, explain- ed the whole matter to George; and the par- ties, now understanding one another. (all heing temperance men.) joined in a hearty chorus of laughter, so loud as to alarm some nervously- affected ladies and gentlemen who, at the time, happened tw be passing along in that immediate locality YesrerDarY was emphatically a ‘swinger, thecun shining in full power. and affecting with debility sweltering humanity. A native of, and fresh from the torrid zone, we fancy, had one been in the midst of us, would not have complained of the coolness of the weather: Pedestrianism here, as in Phila- delphia, where the yuicksilver mounted to the figures between 92 and 97 degrees of the thermometer, was a perspiring agony, and all manner of work many times arducus asuzual. We say nothing about horseflesh, | further than this: that, where they were al- lowed to have their cwn way, they merely rauntered along; but we pitied the animais driven by ‘‘ fast young men,’ and the Jehus of the omnibus line. At half-past 3 o’clock in the afternoon, there was a violent blow of wind. which, liit- ing up the loose dirt from the thoroughfares, wreathed it into dente clouds, and with them obscured this fair metropolis. Every one abroad at that time was in a situation to swal- low a peck of the earthy particles Jefore his time; but a heavy shower fortunately came to bis relief, and, in the course of a very few minutes. drove down the dust clouds to their appropriate level, and moistened the material to the consistency of mud. Anon, the sun again showed his unwelcome, glowing face, piercing with his beams more fiercely than before, as if refreshed for the work by the shower which had just fallen on sub-solary things. In the evening, continuing late in the night heavy peals of thunder. accompanied by flash ings of brvad-sheeted lightning, terrified the nervous ones, while the lovers of the grand and the zulemnly impozing found in the reve- lations of nature much to ndmire. After the demonstrations ot yesterday after- noon and the night, we have a renewal of hot weather; a fact mournful to relate, and ex- cessively unpleasant to experience. Parvary Scnoots.—The senior div the male primary school of the First Di under the care of Mrs. Rodier, was exa:uined afew days since. The exercises of the pupils exhibited marked improvement since last year ‘To mental arithmetic, especially, in this school as we Lave observed in others, increased atten- tion has been given, and the thoroughness of the drilling, and the facility with which diff- cult problems are worked out mentally, would do credit t» much older institutions in the best northern schvols. This school is subjected to the disadvantage of beiag kept in a damp and imperfectly lighted and ventilated apartment, while another division of the school is taught fo the same room, which necessarily prevents the attainment of that perfection in order and discipline which we have seen in a few of the other schools. The interest ia the teacher and the school waa shown by the attendance of a large number of uther teachers, by many of the parents, and several of the trustees, and the gretary of the board. Covert or Cuaims.—Among the more inter- esting proceedings of this tribunal, yesterday afternoon, was the announcement of the fol jowiog rule us having been adopted by the Court ‘At the time of filing the petition, or at any time afterwards, the petitioner may, if he choose, file a brief of the legal points and au- thorities on which be relies to maintain his ease: and the solicitor shall, within a reasou- able time thereafter, file a brief in answer thereto. The cuse shall then be entered on a feparate docket, to be called the law docket, and the cases thereon will be taken up and —— of in their order.’ The Court was not in sesslon to-day, owing be the sickness of Judge Gilebrist Tae Excursion vesterpay.—The friende of the ladies and gentlemen who went with the Good-Will Club on their excursion, yesterday Afternoon, felt somewhat anxious ‘for their safety when the storm came on, soon after their departure trom the city, and passed off in the irection in which they had gone. We learn frow one of the excursionists that they expe- Tienced only some few heavy gusts of wind as the boat neared the spot selected for landing onthe river. With tis exception the party CXperienced no inconvenience, but spent the time very pleasantly, and were much gratified with the trip They returned to the city at 6n early hour of the night. e scholars and teachers at- he Methodist Protestant Sabbath School on Ninth street, went to one of the Pleasant groves near the city on Weduesdey morning last, where they spent the entire day in pleasant, harmless sport. There were many jes and gentlemen present, who were highly Sratified with the entertain of the day, of which the performances of the excellent choir attached to the church constituted no small item.

A Map Doo —In yesterday's Star we called the attention of the municipal authorities to the fact that, now the hot weather hae fairly set in, rabid dogs are likely to become rangers in our eity ; and stated that one was killed, not long ago, on H near Twelfth street. Since which time we have been informed, from a re- liable source, that a storekeeper on Pennsyl- vania avenue, pestering, <Mesyered: symptoms of madness in a beautiful little spaniel, — for a year past as a peton his premises. The animal was in the front store at the time, and it became necessary to close the doors, and for the persons in the room to leap on the counters for safety, as the ‘* poor dog ae was snap- ping ut everything within hisreach. In ashort time he became perfectly rabid, and was shot with a pistol handed in through the window. We publish these details, in the hope of indu- cing our fellow-citizens. one and all, to be very careful of proximity at this season to dogs ex- hibiting wa) Sierras of conduct whatever. We yesterday published an extract from the Columbian Magazine for 1789, prescribing treatment for that fearful madness, and now, with a view to benefits humanity, copy the following article, which we find going the rounds of the newspapers : “It is said that in every instance where a person is bitten by a mad dog, small pustules make their appearance sooner or later on the under side of the tongue, but generally in from six to nine days. These pustules must be opened with a sharp-pointed instrument, 4s they are too tough to break of themselves; and the matter must be discharged and spit out, or it will be reabsorbed, which reabsorp- tion is said to cause the paroxisms termed hy- drophobia. The above is the substance of a communication which appeared in the New Orleans Tropic some years since from the pen of a Southern physician, who says: ‘In 1832 I was called to visit a negro woman who had been bitten by a mad dog, and by pursuin, the treatment here laid down I was succes iv curing her. This course is the same th! Was recommended by Prof. Marochitti, of Moscow, in 1820, and” proved effectual, and my first intimation of this mode was from an English magazine published forty years ago, containing a commupication froma gentleman recently returned from Tartary, where mad dogs are common and this method of treatment usual and suceessful.’’ Hoa Carcuina. —The officers were out at an early hour this morning attending to that very unpleasant portion of their duty which calis tLem to take up hogs found running at large in the streets, to the work-house. We learn that + large number were caged this morning by officer Wollard. The owners of the ani- mals usually murmur against the officers: but they should remember that it is not their fault, but their duty. Tae Roveers.—Up to this morning, not- withstanding the activity of our city and county officers, no arrests have been made of persons connected with the late burzlaries and attempts at burglary in this city. It is evi- dent that tho game has jbeen carried on by skilful thieves GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. GrorcETown, July 20. 1855. The aunuai examination of Mr. Bowen’s Academy closed yesterday. While it was pro- gressing, quite a number of the patrons and friends of the school were in attendance, all of whom manifested a lively interest in the exer- eises. The excellent discipline of Mr. B.'s academy, and rapid progress which tho pupils have mado during the year which has just closed, has won for him an unenviable reputa- tation as an instructor of youth. At the close of the examination, awards of merit were be- stowed upon the following boys by the Rev. Dr. Norwood. Reading —First class—the premium was awarded to James Maynadier; second, to F. T. Dodge: third, to Henry Gasaway ; fourth, to Gilmer Tilford Arithmetic.—First class—the premium was awarded to > Second, to John Norwood.

Uvid—First premium to Thomas Norwood; seeond, W. A. Gordon. Philosophy—First premium to John R. Gil- lis; second, Y. Davis. At the close of the distribution of premiums, Master John Gillis, on behalf of his school- mates, came forward and presented Mr. Bowen with a beautiful walking-cane, manufactured ef ebony, mounted with a heavy gold head, handsomely chased, with the following -in- seription engraved upon it: ‘‘ Presented to P. Bowen by hia pupils. July 19, 1855."’ This seene was quith affecting. Little Master Gil- # wes so much overcome by the recollection that ties of a very affecting character, that he could only give vent to the emotions that heaved his breast in falling tears. Mr. B. re- ceived the handsome present in a very affec- tionate and feeling address to his young friends. Ashe was to leave the school room, he received from your city a package, nicely sealed. Upon opening it, he found it to con- tain a heavy and costly gold pencil, with the following note - ‘ Will Mr. Bowen accept the enclosed as a token of affection from his young friend and pupil, J. G. Turnbull, July 19, 1535." Upon the whole, we may safely say that a more interesting school examination never came under our observation. The examination of the Georgetown School (male department) came off yesterday after- noon. Mayor Addison, and several of the members of the Board of Guardians and of the City Councils were present, together with a larze company of the parents of the pupils and friends of the school. At the close of the examination, premiums were awarded by Mayor Addison te most of ste porte The female department was examined on Wednes- day afternoon. A tremendous storm of wind, rain, lightning and thunder passed over our city yesterday afternoon, about three o’clock, doing considers able damage to fruit and ornamental shade trees: the wind also stripped off nearly the the whole of the roofing of Forrest Hall and a part of the reof of the carpenters’ shop of Mr. Semmes, adjoining the Phoonix Planing Mill, and blew down one of the gables of a house now in course of erection for Mr. John Cameron, on ihe street. The news from the North yesterday has com- pletely unsettled the wheat market, and caused a considerable decline in prices.

John Minor Betts, of Virginia. Ricumonp, July 9, 1855. Messrs. Wm. 8. Beers & Co : Gents—Consider- ations ee the afflicted alone prompt ine to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of “‘Carter’s Spanish Mizture,’’ for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula. Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, I can say that the astonishing results that have been pro- duced by the use of that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and ‘superintendence, after the ski! of the best physicians had been exhausted and ail the usual remedies had failed. fully justify me in recom- mending Its use to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady. Ido not mean to say that it {s adapted to all constitutions. or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, of course, I can know nothing about that—but of what I have seen of the effects, I would not hesitate to use it, in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom I felt an interest, or over whom I could exercise influence or control. Respectfully, yours, Jno. M.
