JBSTTUK CIRCULATION OF THK BISPATCB IS LARGER THAN THE COMBINED CIRCU LATION OF ALL THE OTB KB DAILY" NfcWS PAPKILS OF TIIK CITY. WEATHER REPORT. Indications for To-Day.? For the Mid dle Atlantic States, falling followed by rising barometer, stationary or slightly higher temperature, southerly winds, generally veering to westerly, and light local rains, followed by clear or partly cloudy weather. For the South Atlantic State?, generally higher pressure, stationary or sllubtly higher temperature, southerly to westerly winds and generally clear weather are probable, except probably occasional light rains. The weather yesterday was partly cloudy and mild. THERMOMETER YESTERDAY : 6 A. M., 68; 3 A. M., 72; noon, 73; 3 P. M., SO; 6 P. M.. 74; midnight, 71. Mean temperature, 73 5-0: A ft'!vo-IY(imfrcd-E*oR?d Meteor l.andN oik the Line Between Iowa and Min nesota. The Jackson (Minn.) Republic of the 17th has the following : Last Saturday afternoon things in the air were lively and exciting. Thunder, light ning, hail, and rain are common and neces sary In any well-regulated and healthy com munity; whirlwinds, water-spouts, and even diminutive cyclones are quite common and comparatively innocent aerial diver sions; but when it comes to shooting tivc bund red- pound red-hot balls of iron or like metallic kind promiscuously through the air, t!u*n it partakes the ivdure of grandeur and sublimity, and. if one happens to be in range,- it approaches mighty near what might be termed danger. Such was actually the missile that went ricocheting through space that afternoon, and whose track was plainly vMble throughout this section of country, and the explosion of which mads windows rattle and people tremble. A few of the unsuspecting undertook to palm the long, red, smoky, skyward sub stance oil' as a peculiar cloud, and the ex plosion as peculiar thunder; but most con ceded that it was a meteor. On Monday all doubt in this direction ceased when Mr. Kidley, of Estlierville, brought to the lie public office a piece of the meteor itself, and which he saw taken from the identical spot where it fell. It had opened the earth for a space of ten feet across, just over the line in the town of Emmet, Iowa. One piece weighing two and one half pounds had been dug out when he loft. It threw sods about for fifteen rods, 'and other evidences went to show that a little perseverance would exhume the strange aerial visitor that bad so suddenly sought sepulture in the beautiful valley of the Pes Moines. On Wednesday Mr. S. L>. Weir came to our office, and who first discovered the icrra-firvia destination of the new comer, and infoimcd us that after digging fifteen feet they reached the nve-liundred-pcund wonder which had been driven that distance into the ground, and ten feet of which was in solid blue clay. The parties succeeded in raiding it by means of levers and chains, and it weighed four hundred and thirty one pounds, another piece thirty-two pounds, and, with other pieces that were found, made the whole meteor safe ly five hundred pounds. Its exterior is rather ragged, and its exact composition ib u matiex- ox speculation. Ail sifce it is two feet in length, and fourteen by Iwenty once inches; hence the sublimity in cou templating the body, its course, its mo mentum, as well as its destination. lis starting point is a matter not easily figured, its exact orbit not positively known ; but its destination is not a matter of specula tion, for within twelve rods of the school house near John Barber's, about a mile east of the residence of our good friend Charles Jarvis, that burning, bursting, cannon-resounding, lightning-speed missile came in contact with the earth. Mr. W. K. Pingrey in our office yes terday and informed us that another piece that weighed about one hundred and fifty pounds was afterward found on A. A. Pin grey's farm, about two miles from the othe", and which was buried live feet in the solid clay. The track of this meteor was observed for miles around and the explosion heard in many places. Restitution*.? In the Circuit Court of Alexandria county, inst closed (Judge Keith presiding) the final report of Commissioner Kemper for $39,142.04 in favor of Mr. W. N. McVeigh against John I>. Alley and the representatives of Cakes Ames and Samuel Hooper was confirmed. Me-stf?. Alley, Ames, and Hooper were members of Con gress from Massachusetts during the war, and not possession of a large portion of Mr. McVeigh's real estate in this city, which was withheld from him some fifteen ycais. This decree is for back rents, dam ages, &c., on a part of it. ? Alexandria Ga zette , 'Kith. "Singular Fight of Two Soldiers.? Niagara , Ont., 51 ay 26.? Two American soldiers, named Murphy and Coyne, left for Niagara dock at midnight 011 Saturday, under the influence of liquor, to go over to Fort Niagara. They quarrelled on the way, and Murphy threw the oars away and at tempted to pitch Coyne overboard. The latter, however, beiug stronger, tbrew Mur phy out. C'ovne, in the boat alone, drifted into the lake, where he was picked up yes terday, lie claims to have acted in self-de fence, and liis story is generally believed. The General Omnibus Company of Paris has for some time past made u<e of electri city for subduing vicious horses. l>v the process adopted intractable animals eiven to biting, rearing, and kicking are rendered inoffensive, and submit peaceably to be yroonicd and harnessed. To obtain this re sult a weafc current of electricity is passed into .the mouth of the horse each lime it be comes restive. The will of the animal seems almost annihilated. The current is pro duced by a small induction-machine of the Clarke system, the wires of which commu nicate with the bit of the bridle. The em ployment of electricity is said to produce a sort of uneasiness or torpor rather than pain, and is much less barbarous than mrrny tamiog methods hitherto adopted. An amphibious monster of the tortoise specirs was Silled last Saturday bv tbe agent of tl>e Richmond and York-River Steamboat Company at Gloucester, Va., anfi was bron^bt to this city In the steamer Ha vana, ol tbat'line.

It is of about thrte hundred pounds weight, with elaw-* less flippers rfe?enibling the fluke<rf a wbale, and its shell or'batk is filled with large and regular rUfe<es, ar>fl is pliable, whHe the en tire form is disproportioned and unceasing in appearance. It is supposed to 4>e a na tive of the West Indies, and its presence in the locality where it^ras killed is a matter of surprise and wouder.? Baltimore &ner- 1 lean. Alexandria, Ya., May 20.?

Despite of other nttrac Hons a large audience greeted the Young Men's Christian Association last night on the occasion of their annual meeting. ? After devotional exercises (singing, read ing the scriptures, and prayer by Rev. Pres ton Nash,) the President of the Associa tion made a statement of the work of the Association during the past year, showing that they had paid off the debt with which they were burdened twelve months ago. and met all current expenses cxceptthc rent of their hall ; that the Association has done most important evangelical work, besides keep | ingup their library and reading-room; that they have grown in favor with, the people of , the city, and that they enter the new year with a firmer purpose to be useful, and i brighter prospects of success. On motion Messrs. F. II. Deane, W. A. Wilkinson and W. C. Mayo were appointed a committee on nominations. During the absence of . the committee Colonel W. P. Munford gave a very inter esting account of the great convention in Baltimore. _ The committee made the following nomi nations_jof, new officers, _.\vho were unani mously elected : President, J. William Jones. First Vice-President, J. Taylor Ellvson. Second Vice-President, John 13. Cary. Third Vice-President, Major Robert Stiles. Fourth Viee-Prcsideut, William T. Shop* paid.

Registrar, George B. Harrison. Directors: F. II. Deane, J. D. Iv. Sleight, John Hunter, Jr., General George J. Hund ley, and General J. G. Field. Dr. Jones expressed his regret that the Association had not consented to select an other president who could till the office more acceptably, but expressed his willing ness to ?lo anything in bis power to serve 1 the cause. He earnestly appealed to the Association, the Christian public, and the Christian women of Richmond, to give him their warm sympathies, active cooperation, and fervent prayers. + There was disappointment that Mr. Wal lace did not arrive, and that others who were expected failed to be present, but the meeting was considered qnitea good "send off" for the new year. Personals axd Briefs.? Governor Ilolli dav was in his office yesterday working hard and looking well. We notice the presence at the tobacco auction sale at Centre warehouse v ester day of William T. Iilackwell, Esq , the head of W. T. Black well & Co., of Dur ham, X. C. He purchased freely of tine smokers, and made Centre warehouse a lively place. The shoes-tore of I). F.

Judge Hughes delivered an opinion in t lie case of Gor don vs. Dooley, trustee, 'in bankrupt cy, of Asa Snyder, deciding that Doug las II. Gordon's claims for rent-charge of $1,000 a year on the foundry property cor ner of Gary and Tenth streets is not void for usury, but a valid claim. The suit of Whittock vs. Blackvvell, Dur ham tobacco-man, claiming damages for ma licious pro-ecution, went in favor of the de fendant. by the ruling of the Court oh de fendant's demurrer to the evidence. The cases of the United States vs. The Petersburg judges of election, which went to the Supreme Court on a certificate of divided opinion between Judges Bond and Hughes two years ago, and which had been sent back subject to the ruling of the Su preme Court in tbe Cruikshank case, sus taining Judge Hughes's view of the law, were put to the jury with instructions to find a verdict cf not guilty, which they found.

THRIB ANNUAL TARGET- PRACTICE AND PARADE-A'/ FIELD-DAY AT "STRAW BERRY HiLL^? FINE GUNNERY? THE BAN QUET, AC. %V " 1 The annual fecurrence of the iTowitzer target-practice is an event, which is looked f orward to with great pleasure by all who attend, tbe members of the company and invited guests alike. Their entertainments are always marked by an absence of any thing like excess in any regard, and con spicuous for gentlemanly courtesies, gener ous hospjiality, and innocent, healthful amusements. THEIR TAR APE and target-practice was unusually pleasura ble and successful yesterday. The clay, though overcast, was one for out -door sport and comfort. Tbe guns were sent out Mon day evening to "Strawberry Hi ll,'' the beautiful farm of Mr. Isaac "Davenport, about three, miles distant from the city, on tbe line of' the Chesapeake and Ohio rail way. Ther company formed at their armory, near tbe City Spriog, yesterday morning: at 7 o'clock, and, headed by Yoel Iter's band, andattendctf by infited guest?, took up the line of march to Broad street, up Broad - to Fifth, thence to Main, down Main to Eigh teenth, thence to Broad and to the depot. Here they took a special train and was soon conveyed to the shooting-grounds. THE COMMAND consisted of forty-five oificerp and men, and their fine appearance and soldierly bearing was generally commented upon. The ofli cers were Major II. C. Carter and bis staff, consisting of Captain Carlton McCarthy, Major Christopher Tompkins, surgeon ; Lieutenant \V. E. Harwood, assistant sur geon ; Lieutenant W. II. Aborn, ordnance officer; and W. L. Austin, hospital stew ard. Captain Wortham commanded the com pany. with First Lieutenant E. .T. Bosher, and Junior First Lieutenant G. P. Ilavves. THE FIELD OF ACTION was the same beautiful site, just above f he railroad and overlooking the broad meadow lands below, which has been selected in pre vious years. Mr. Walter S. EJmond, who resides at ?' Strawberry Ilill," received the invading army with a hearty welcome, and soon all was a scene of life and activity. THE TARGET was ten by twelve feet, with a black of two feet square, and was placed fourteen hun dred yards from t he battery. THE SHOOTING was very fine, and, taken altogether, was probably far better than on previous prac tices. The ground before and around the target was literally ploughed up by the deadly missiles. The firing of shell, too. was highly creditable, and displayed skill and judgment in the handling of the fuse. ,T11E IIEST SHOT was made by Mr. John E. Hutchinson, the next best by Mr. Alexander Woolfolk, and the next by Mr. F. M. Whittle. While each of these gentlemen struck the target, there were many other shots which would have been equally destructive in an action, but which could not be designated. A PAY OP PLEASURE was spent by all. Some played quoits, oth ets backirammon, others again talked over war reminiscences, while many engaged in the national game of base-ball. THE BANQUET was spread in the s pacious burn of the farm, and while all the surroundings bore a rude and rustic appearance, the spirit of comfort for the inner man spread out in abundance, and tbe self-sacrificing attentions of officers ??J m?n in mipyil v j i . ic. ? l>^ mint) of guests, madeira It: list to pinwimrstrwiiiCTi are often spread in more resplendent halls. There was, too, a happy absence of speech making. It is this virtue in the entertain ments of the Howitzers which make them barren fields for wily politicians. Til t: PR KS E XT AT 1 0 X of a war souvenir bv Mr. E. S. Cardozo to the company was an incident worthy of no tice. It was a complete Ii<t of the Third Company of Howitzers as it >urrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on the Orb of April, 18G3, beautifully written on parch ment by Professor Nieoll, and prettily framed.* The list was taken on the day of the surrender by 31 r.
