Additional Local News.

FROM a gentleman who took a trip on the "other side of the river" yesterday, we learn that the "soiled doves," inhabit the woods as usual. A large crowd of low-down men were seen in the neighborhood, who appeared anxious for an interview with the "soiled doves." And in this connection, we would ask, did the last invoice of low-down chaps work out their fines on tho streets? or did they pay cash.

FIGHT AT XOCKPORT.—Yesterday a serious affray^took place atLockport, in this county, between a man by the name of Godfrey Ashburger, and Geo. W. Morton. Ashburger, it appears, struck Morton in the breast with a sledge hammer, (felling him to the ground and doing him serious injury. It is feared that the injury will prove fatal. The Mayor issued a warrant tor the arrest of Morton, and an investigation will be had.

WATER WORKS.—To-night there will be a meeting at the wigwam for the purpose of hearing Mr. Flagler, President pf the Holly Water Works, on the subject of introducing that system in this city. This is an important matter, and we hope there will be a general turn out of the tax payers to-night. Perhaps no more important question can be considered by the people at present. It is proposed by the council, in case it is decided to undertake this enterprise, to submit it to a vote of the people. We repeat, this is an important matter, and we hope the attendance will be general.

"GOOD-BYE JOHN."—Night before last we are told, an intoxicated individual in the east part of the city, who shall be nameless now, went home to his loving better half, and being in a high state of "salubrity," much to the disgust of the wife, she ejected him in a summary manner, but consoled her "liege lord" by singing in sweetest tones: "Good-bye John,

Don't stay long."

and John vowed that he wouldn't, but laid on the sidewalk until his loving wife picked him up.

How.—Much complaint has been made of the shameful conduct of lewd women on the "other side of the river," and many plans have been suggested to get rid of the nuisance, but, we have heard of none more practicable than the following It is this When any of the "low-down" men are arrested, fine them to the extent of the law, and take no excuse, but make them pay the last farthing, if not in cash, by working on the streets. This idea of punishing the women by imprisonment, will not answer, but the severe punishment of the men will.

THEFT.—A few days ago Mr. Coppage, who resides on Seventh street, employed a servant girl by the name of Sarah Seeber, supposing that she was honest. But it did not turn out that she was. Yesterday evening, she stole a shawl, as is supposed, two or three dresses, a lady's hat, and several other articles, and at once took her departure. The Mayor issued a warrant for her arrest tb-day, and she will no doubt be arrested, and sent up. It appears that she is one of the "soiled doves." A policeman says she is.

PARTIALITY.—The following is a specimen ot partiality of school teachers to children. It will hit some one in this community we are sure A country pedagogue had two pupils, to one of whom he was partial and to the other severe. One morning it happened that these boys were late and were called up to account for it. "You must have heard the bell, boys, id "Please sir," said the favorite, "I was dream in that I was goin toCaliforny, and I thought the school bell was the st°amboatbell, as I was goin in." "Very well," said the master glad of any pretext to excuse his favorite. "And now, sir," turning to the other, "what have you to say "Please, sir," said the puzzled boy, "I— was waiting to see Tom ofF!'(

FATTENING HORSES.—We cut the following from an exchange. It is good advice we believe: "Many good horses devour large quantities of grain and hay, and still continue thin and poor. The food eaten is not properly assimilated. If the usual feed has been unground grain and hay, nothing but a change will effect any desirable alteration in the appearance of the animal. In case oil meal can not be obtained readily, mingle a bushel of flaxseed with a bushel of barley, one of oats, and another bushel of Indian corn, and let it be ground into fine meal. This will be a fair proportion for all his feed. Or, the meal or barley oats and corn, in equal quantities, may first be procured, and one-fourth part of oil cake mingled with it when the meal is sprinkled oh cut feed. Feed two or three quarts of the mixture three times daily with a peck of cut hay and straw. If the horse will eat that amount greedily, let the quantity be increased, until he will eat four or six at each feeding, three tiaies a day, but avoid the practice of allowing a horse to stand at a rack well filled with hay. In order to fatteh a horse that has run down in flesh, the groom should be very particular to feed the animal no more than he wjjl eat up clean and lick his mangN^foi more,"

This amount of coin is about as large as the Treasury ever held at one time and is over $2,000,000 more than was held on the 1st inst. This is probably owing to the large custom receipts. The coin certificates are gradually disappearing. There were $28,415,320 in the Treasury on the 1st inst.

PARIS, Sept. 14.—An immense demonstration has just been made before the American Ministers, in this city. Loud calls for the Minister was responded to by the appearance of Mr. Washburne, who was greeted by roars of cheers, music and the Marseillaise. Mr. Washburne was deeply moved and could scarely articulate his acknowledgements. At length he recovered his command of speech and returned his thanks.

He says I represent one of two great Republics which ought to remain before monarchial Europe. Under the actual circumstances you have especially gained the support of America but in consequence of our relations with other powers, and of the great distance lying between us my personal opinion is that you must reckon more upon the moral rather than the active support of the American people.

A Munificent Bequest.

We have room this morning only to call attention to the munificent bequest made by our excellent late fellow-citizen, John Simons, the particulars of which we publish in another column, and by which it will he seen that he bequeathed the noble sum of one million jour hundred thousand dollars to establish an institution to be called the Simmons Male and Female College, for the express purpose of giving females a thorough practical education in medicine," music, drawing, designing, telegraphy and other branches or art, science

and industry is calculated to enable the scholars to acquire an independent livelihood. It is the most munificent bequest ever before made for a similiar object in this commonwealth. The property bequeathed consists of some of the most valuable store property in this city, and it is to be held without reduction and unimpaired, for the establishment and maintenance of this institution. It is given for a very worthy object, and at a very opportune time, when the demand for enlarging the sphere of woman's labor and usefulness is heard from all quarters. It places its author's name high among those of the great philanthropists and public benefactors of the age, and will keep his name and memory ever fresh and fragrant with coming generations.— Boston Journal.
