local news Boat Back.?Passengers' on the four, five, and six o'clock trips of the Washington jerry boats, Saturday evening,last, were very much interested at the preparations and the efforts made for a race between the Analostau and Arlington row boats at Washington. Many boats ill addition to those to have taken part in the race were collected near Oth street wharf, and the river shore, from that wharf to the arsenal, was crowded with spectators and the vehicles in which they had come there. Owing to the rough sea, the Aualostan club would uot run, and so after a great deal of exciting squabbling, the Arlingtons, when it was nearly dark, started off to pull over the course alone. They got along very well until a point opposite the chaunel of the Eastern branch was reached. Here the current from the Potomac, chauuel and that from the branch met, forming an exceedingly .strong and dangerous undertow, which in addition to the wind and the water, mastered both the boat and crew, and she soon began to till, and in fifteen minutes was completly swamped. An order was immediately giveu to jump out, which was obeyed, ami for a. few seconds the crew floundered around in the Potomac waters, but were speedily picked up. The whole party then headed their boats tor (ieishoro* Point, where they arrived in rather a had condition, and .were hospitably entertained and Cared lor by Mr. Young, the proprietor, who furnished them with hot coffee and other stimulants. In the meantime several boats had gone down from the Sixth street wharf, where a painful rujuor of the accident had been received, aud further details were awaited by the excited and auxious crowd. About S o'clock the boats returned with all hands safe, but thoroughly uncomfortable from the ducking they had received.-1They were met with hearty cheers aud congratulations by the assemblage, and as soon as possible doffed their racing clothes, were ouveluped in warn) wrappings, and separated, thankful that it was no worse. Yesterday.?The weather yesterday was clear aud bright, aud just cool cuough to be bracing aud seasonable. The churches were all attended by large and attentive congregations. Bishop Whittle preached at St. Paul's Church. All the other pulpits, including that of the Prinmtivo Baptists', where Klder Purring ton preached, were filled with the resident clergy. 1 The following is the report of the work done during the day by the Young Men's Christian j Association: "The Suuday Prayer Meeting at the Methodist Episcopal Church was fully attended, and the services were very interesting. Those who led in speaking, prayer, aud praise, seemed tiuly warmed up in their work. The meeting next Sunday wili be held in the Und Presbyterian Church. "The services at the Alms House were very largely attended, a yd were well conducted, ana great interest was manifested. A full corps i of workers was present. uTho regular services were not held at the jail in consequence o{*the absence el' the usual force of workers. The occupants of the prison, however, were visited and conversed with. Twelve persons am at present in confine ment, 1 for murder, 4 Ibr felony, n for misdemeanor; 1 for bigauiv, and 1 for perjury. More laborers are needed in this field, and it is hoped that the christian people, whether members of the association or not, whose duties will permit, will engage in the labor. One great obstacle in the way of success in this work, is the want of" occupation for the prisoners. It is hoped that the present council, if it is in its power, will provide work of some kind for them, and not permit, them to remain in utter idleness. Lost at Ska.?The brig Lije Houghton, Anderson, from Portland, arrived at Philadelphia tli inst., and reports that on the evening of the loth, when four days out from Portland, during a gale from S. while shortening sail, Charles Dearborn,second mate, belonging to Alexandria. a., feli overboaril; tacked ship and made every effort to save hint, but ot? aeeouut of a very heavy sen on at the time, was unable to find him.
