breaches. The building is frame above, but the

the congregation worshipping in ii may be mol
less improved than others of our city under 'lie
labers of their present pastors.


Our city is decidedly better supplied WIN
churches than any other we know considering
the sparseness of our population. rms we are
glad to see, and shall promptly no1ce al I'M
provements in this line.


ISrpMprRANcE.-Mr. James E. Given, un-
der the influence ofintoxcatlng drinks, stabbed
his mother in law on last Thursday evening at
her residence on C. street The wound was
thought to be dangerous at first, but the lady
has since improved.


We greatly regret this occurrence, but can
only say there is no safety where frequent
use is made of intoxicating drinks.


The excellent reporter Of the Baltimore Sun
says, Mr.. Ward, the proprietor of the tempe
rance paper in this city, has petitloned the
House to grant him the use of one Of the low
er rooms Of the Capitol for the printing and
publication of his paper. He asks it on the
ground Of public policy. Those members who
drink cold water and other things, speak OF it
as most impudent proposition, and would
readily vote for an appropriation to send Mr..
Ward and his establishment to Oregon.


No doubt of it but we do not intend to go
10 Oregon, or any other place distant from our
Metropolis. We are needed here; ; our paper
is needed and even the members of Congress
will, we have no doubt, find that we are their
friend, as well as the friend of their constilu-
ents and our race in general.-SEN. ED.


FLowERs.-We said yesterday that love OF
flowers always indicated a sweet temper. A
lady informs us that she knew some who loved
them so well as TO steal them We own that
our expression should have been somewhat
qualified disposition to steal flowers, or any
thing else, is not ''a sweet temper"


THE Sun AND THE FoUNTAlN-We are in
formed that seven thousand copies of the Balt-
more Sun come TO this city for distribution
daily. Our own circulation is extensive, but
we confess freely that we make no such boast
as this. However, the .'Sun shines for all, !"
but Fountain is a more local affair; and we
trust that while our citizens enjoy the light Of
the Sun, (to which we have not the slightest
Objection they will not forget their own little
Fountain, pure water being as nj essary as
good light.
