Singular Circumstance.-- The citizens of
Allentown were very much startled and sur
prised few Sundays ago by a strange oc-
curvencs which happened in the Lutheran
Church Of that place. While the Rev. Mr.
Yeager was about administering the sacra-
mont and had just left his pulpit to come
down to the altar for that purpose, two large
black snakes emerged from the wall, and
unseen by the congregation below, commenc-
cd gamboling and chasing each other upon
the top Of the sounding board (as it is called
which projects over the pulpit. Those per-
sons who were in the gallery had fair view
Of them and observed that they did not retire
until the communion was over. After service
the place was examined and a hole found
which tojudge from its sire, mus, apparently
have caused considerable compression before
it admitted Of the animals passage. How
the snakes could have made their way through
a comparatively now wall to such height,
remains still mystery.

A, meeting of the Citizens Of Georgetown on


tn. 10th inst convened in pursuance Of an nvi-
tation from the Mayor, Col. john Cox, Mayor
was. on motion of Mr.Jewell, called to the Chair,
and Thomas Corcoran, on motion Of Mr.. Beall,
appointed Secretary.
After the Chairman has stated the object Of the
meeting, Mr.. Sam'. McKenney offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resoiued, By a meeting Of thePeopk OF George
to,on in Town Meeting assembled, That Com
mittee Of Fifteen Ci,izens, to be selected by the
Chairman Of this meeting, be appointed earnest.
ly to demonstrate against the passage of the Blu
now before the House of Representatives, tor
erecting at the public expense tree Bridge over
the Potomac River. on the settle OF the late Wash
ington Bridge; and also against any Bill to give
aid by an appropriation of the public money, or
otherwise, to the Washington Bridge Company,
to reconstruct the said Bridge.
1st Because the existence Of Bridge below
the town Of Georgetown violates our natural and
inherent rights to the free navigation OF great
tide water River, flowing from the town to the
Ocean, and giving access to ships and vessels
drawing thirteen and a half feet OF water.
Because this natural and inherent right has
been further secured to US and the people Of Vir-
gina and Maryland BY solemn compact between
those States in the year 1885, declaring the SAID
river g common highway for the purpose OF ma
vigation and commerce." not to be in any way
obstructed or interrupted
Because the Bridge heretofore in existence op-
Grated as tax upon the people Of Georgetown
Of at least $4,000 per annum, in additional
freishts alone.
Because no public good, equivalent to the
public injury inflicted, would thereby be attain
ed, aud even, if otherwise, no just compensation
is provided for the rain of our private rights.
Because il is much more reasonable that the
Mail of the United States should require an IN
creased annual charge of two or three thousand
dollars, (even if it were possible that could be
the case) than that the community of Georgetown
should annually lose ten thousand dollars on one
object alone.
Because the saving Of mile and half in dis
lance, for perhaps one month out of twelve, (the
mail during the residue of the year. being trans
ported BY WATER, does not justify the sacrifice Of
our navigation.
ages as an open River.
Resolued further unanimously by the people Of
Georgetown, in ToWn Meeting assembled, That
an earnest but respectful request be presented by
said Committee to the House of Representatives
of the United States, to hear US BY counsel al
the bar Of the House, in defence Of our rights,
public and private. which will be sacrificed by
the passage Of the Bill.
The meeting was addressed by Mr.. McKen.

resolution, announced the following gentlemen

How beautiful is woman adjoining the social
