GEORGETOWN AND IT'S AFFAIRS.

GEORGETOWN. September 29-12 m.
The strong easterly winds which prevailed
here for several days caused the tide to rise in
our harbor to an unusual height on Saturday
night and Sunday morning, overlooking many
of the wharves, and damaging slightly several
| hundred barrels Of flour, besides floating con-
siderable quantity of lumber, &c.
The enterprising owner of the packet-boat
Fashion will start to-day another boat, to leave
Georgetown for Cumberland at o'clock, D. M
The proprietor of this line, (Mr. Ward,) with a
determination to accommodate the public, in
tends, in few weeks, to place upon the route
four first-class boats, 80 as to have daily line
| through the entire length of the canal
! In conversation this morning with farmers
| from Frederick and Washington counties, Md,
| was informed that the drought had been so
great in that section Of country that many of
the wells had failed entirely, and in many places
the farmers were unable to seed their grain.
Flour and GRAIN Manufacturers was a sale
on Saturday afternoon of 200 barrels flour at
1881. This morning, buyers are offering
1915, and sellers asking $3.81t. A sale Of
5000 bushels wheat at 76c.
The supply of butter by wagons, this morn
ing, was rather limited, amounting in all to five
or six thousand pounds, which sold at prices
ranging from Is to 194c. per pound.
We were visited on Saturday and Saturday
night with several heavy showers Of rain, which
have completely laid the dust and made the at
mosphere delightfully."- pleasant.
