B Poston for furnishing certain articles for the Western Market-house ; referred The Board then adjourned Warsixe to Hovsexeerers.—A friend of ours bas requested us to call attention to the fact that a young woman, ‘‘ rather pretty and talkative,” is now engazed in pilfering from our citizens; hiring herself a a servant, from lace to place, in order to facilivate her dis- oneat operatio: She is thus described by our friend, who, it wili be conceived, has taken 4 full and critical observation cf her person: “ Black hair and blue eyes, hair bob! rather close round the neck; stature rather low, and thick set, apparently, but not certain as to this, as she wore a shawl uuder her dress, and Perhaps other articles, for the purpose of con- cealment; her dress a tan or brown berage, tucked skirt, and full loose sleeves; dangling ar rings; pretty teeth; straw bonnet; brown veil; Diack mantle; parasolette, and brown gaiters.’’ Atone place, where she weat to hire, she Stated that she was from Beltsville, and, at another, from Baltimore; but perhaps she had been at both places. iiowever, it makes no difference as to whence she emigrated. It is her conduct which is of interest. Our informant reports that this ‘rather _ and talkative’ young woman came to is residence, and was employed by his wife as ® servant, and that, after remaining there & day, she departed, taking with her six dollars, ich she had relieved the pocket of an elderly gentleman, an inmate of the house, and a tooth brush belongiag to our informant. Several other similar tricks are related of her, but the above is suffizieat for our present purpose, namely : to put housekeepers on their guard against the wiles of this “ rather pretty and talkati adventurer, who, it appears, is “ bobbin’ arvund”* for dishonest Purposes. Recxess Saoorixe.—This being about the commencement of the ‘ night-hawk term,’ We would suggest to the police to take meas- ures for the prevention of the wholesale slaughter of the harmless birds, now progrese- ing. They are of great benefit in destroying uitoes, so plentiful at this time, as the inhabitants well know, from experience in their own persons Every evening, between the hours of siz and eight o'clock, numbers of \neonsiderate men aad boys take positions in sme of the thiekly-settled parts of the city to shoot the birds; thus endangering the limbs, ¢* lives, of persons resident in those neighbor- hoods, besides frightening horses.

She sings again to-night in that city, in Baltimore to-morrow night, and here on Saturday evening. Her ceacert in this city cannot fail to draw at Jeast as large an audience as the capacious salvon will hold, as it is not once in half a dozen years that we of Washington enjoy the ayn of at. tending an entertamment given by such artists as Mlle Torese Parodi and her accomplished Troupe. ‘ C——_ Mernovist Protestant Cavroy.—The re- vival in this church is still progressing, and the members appear to be much pleased with their p: ts The bretbren of the adjoin- ing cirouits and statious are flocking to their assistance. Among the ministers we have no- ticed at the meetings are the Rev. S. B. Suth- erland, Rev. Mr. Clayton, Rev. David Wil- son, and Rey. 0. Cox. Rey. Josiah Varden, a well known and popular minister, preached last night. Yesterday afternoon a love feast was held in the church, and we learn it was well attended and passed off with pleasure to all who were in attendance. The minister in charge is the Rev. P. L. Wilson. He is highly esteomed in Washington, and doubtless his brethren will retain him as long as the rules of the Conference will permit, e Canvsi’s SALOoN was well filled ‘ait n'ght, on the occasion of the grand relief concert for the benefit of the Norfolk and Portsmouth suf- ferers. The singing by the Eolian Glee Club and the Washington Harmonians, and the per- formance of the Laselle Instrumental Troupe, together with the guitar playing of Mr Keck, and the ballads of Mr. Grennur, were greeted by the auditory with delight, while the solo ou the Saxe horn, by Professor Esputa, and the music of that gentleman’s brass band, twenty pieces, were prominent features in the rich and varied programme. Mr. Wa Patwern.—A correspondent writes us in high praise of the manner in which Prof. Wm. Palmer rendered his fine basso solo, on Tuesday night last, at St. Matthew's church. Wo have heard many smateurs speak of his execution of his beautiful and impressive part on that oceasion in similar terms, and regret exceedingly that we were not so fortunate as to be prezent. Cextre Marxar.—The supplies begin to fall away. We no longer have the Avenue, from Seventh to Eleventh streets, crowded with farmers and gardners. The prices, too, begin to take an upward tendency. This is easily accounted for at this season. It seldom lasts long, and we hope to see the old dealers essional rush begins, and ending only when there is no use for their presence. Reiier.—Mrs. Mary Farrar deposited this morning fifteen dollars—the shanty of the business at her bowling seloon—for the relief of the Norfolk and Portsmouth sufferers. The pupils of the male primary school, fourth district. Mr. Edeon teacher, have con- tributed four dollars and twenty cents for a similar purpcsg. The money was deposited with us, and will be forwarded as directed. Wirtnout a Licexse.—This morning Mrs. Catharine Dwyer was arrested for offering matches for sale in the market without a li- cense. The evidence of the clerk of the Cen- tre market was rather strong agaivst the ac- cused party, and the justice, Morsell, ordered her to pay a fine and costs. Maraiace at Browss’ Hoter.—Yesterday, the Rev. J. A. Duncan united a couple in holy wedlock at Browns’ Hotel. The entire party were from Virginia, and will soon re- turn to their homes in the Old Dominion. A Cass or Instauments.—One of the Auxil iary Guard, while passing around his beat last night, picked up a case of surgical intrumente. They can be seen at the guard house, were they are in possession of Captain Birch. “‘Brpy Maers.’’—Having mislaid the communication of this lady, we respectfully ask of hera duplicate copy for publication, as we were much pleased with its contents.

I had used beg tl that could be named, but to no Barges employed two most able physicians, but, instead of giving me relief, I continued to grow worse. Some of my friends, seeing my di ing situa- tion persuaded me, as the only resort, to try BA- KER'S PREMIUM BITTERS, but without ed faith, I sent and got a bottle, and used it, whic gave a slight {mprovement.
