GEORGETOWN AND IT'S AFFAIRS.
GEoRGErowE. July 25-12

GEoRGETowE. July 25-12 m.
GEoRGErowN CoLLEGE.-The annual exhibit
ton at this yenerated seat of learning came off
yesterday, at Al o'clock, p. m, in the large
exhibition hall, which was decorated in the
most beautiful manner with the American en-
sign, eyergreens, notices, &C.; and the Phil
harmonic Society under the direction of Mr..
Dundas, discoursed at intervals some of their
sweetest pieces of music.
Long before the time arrived for the exer-
cises to commence, there might be seen coming
from every direction perfect crowds of ladies
and gentlemen, among whom were many dis
tinguished persons, both from the District and
abroad, all anxious to enjoy the rich intellectual
feast; and from the commencement to the close,
which was about 81 o'clock, the hall was
crowded to overlooking The speaking was ex-
cellent, and elected long and loud applause
from the entire audience-indeed, their admi-
ration seemed to be unbounded
SERIOUS AcCIDENT.-Ye sterday horse be-
longing to Mr.. John Trunnel ran off with cart
attached to him, in which was his little son and
the driver The cart upset and threw the little
boy out, and a large box on top of him, which
SO injured him that he is not expected to re-
cover. The driver had one of his thighs broken
and was otherwise injured.
A SINGULAR CIRCUMsTANcE.-In 1841, Mr..
J. Il. c., merchant in this town, had in his
employ two young men. On certain occasion
ten dollars was missed from the drawer and no
satisfactory account could be given of it. One
Of the young men privately charged the other
with stealing it, and gave to the employer some
trltiing reason for believing SO; but in few
days the one who charged the other with the
theft disappeared, and nothing has been seen
or heard of him since. Yesterday the young
man upon whom the theft was charged, while
coming from Washington in an omnibus, got
into conversation with stranger in whom he
thought he recognised his old accuser. After
he had been home awhile he concluded to in
1uire more about the stranger, and went to the
store of Mr.. c., and asked if such person had
been there, and was informed that he had, and
left the following note: ''Sir, enclosed you will
find ten dollars which owe you, and the inter
est from 1841, six dollars. Signed, An honest
man." After putting the note on the counter
he hurriedly left, and has not been seen since.
No news in the -four or grain market, and no
