A TREATY DEFEATED BY WIND-MLLs.-In a
memoir of himself, written by Mr.. Jefferson, il,
1921, he gives the following account of the fat,
of treaty with Portugal, which he and Mr..
Adams had made in London in the year 1886:
while in London we entered into negotia-
tons with, the Cheyalier Pinto ambassador OF
Portugal, at that place. The only article OF
difficulty between us was stipulation that ou
breadstuf should be received in Portugal, III
the form of -four as well as of grain. He APP
proved Of it himself, but observed that severa
mobiles, of great influence Mt their court, were
the owners of wind-mils in the neighborhood
of Lisbon, which depended much for their pro
fits on manufacturing our wheat and that this
stipulation would endanger the whole treaty
We signed it, however, and its fate was what
he had canddly portended."

GEORGETOWN. July SIP m.

GEoRGETowN, July 6-l2 m
Our town was unusually quiet yesterday,
from the fact that nearly every one that could
went abroad to celebrate the day--the Metho-
dist Protestant Sabbath school to John H. Kings,
where they spent the day in a manner entirely
satisfactory to ALL the Presby terrain, to Mr.. Bar
nards--but ! regret to say that a boy, named
Robertson, who is not connected with this
school, was thrown from swing on the ground
and badly hurt, one of his shoulders being dis
located. A number Of the Odd Fellows char
tered two of Admiral Resides fine stages and
went to Rockville there to join with the breth-
rem in celebrating the day and hundreds went
to Washington to witness the laying of the
corner stone at the Capitol.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT esterday hack ran
over child about four years of age, by the
name of Hilry, near the Catholic Church, seri-
ously injuring his head and face.
A NuIsANcE.-A number Of youths and boys
are in the daily practice of bathing in the canal,
near the aqueduct, and swimming, to the great
annoyance of the citizens living near, and to
many ladies and gentlemen who take that d-
rection for an evenings walk. Would it not be
well for the police to visit them and, if there is
a corporation law forbidding such exhibitions
of vulgarity, to infct upon them its penalty
