NJ The weather continues favorable
g, those who have buildings in course Of
.,,etion, and many mechanics and laborers
80 kept employed much longer than usual
airing the winter. Good wages and plen-
;, Of work are what Industrious men want
nd deserve, and We hope they may always
tain both in Washington.
sT Extensive preparations are making
Tor the Inauguration of the equestrian statue
# Jackson, tomorrow, by the various as
sOcistions of our city, civic and military.
Ne expect the procession will be a large
me, and the occasion such as will not
auickly pass from the memory of partici-
ants
"a 1t is expected that one or two volun-
tser companies from Baltimore will arrive
lon tomorrow morning, and we learn that a
company of light artillery arrived to-day for
the purpose of participating in the ceremo-
lies of the Inauguration of the statue.
"a We were much pleased the other
.ysning, while in the Theatre q short time,
nth the playing of Kate and Ellen Bate
ian. We have seldom seen an audience
more delighted than all present appeared
b be with Kate and Ellen Bateman in the
play of "The Young Couple" Richard the
Third is played tonight, and we doubt not
Ehe parts will be well sustained.
sa~ Notice has been taken of the i'm
provement Of our city by many of the letter
writer's now in Washington. We are glad
they take no notice Of those places where
improvement is so much needed; but we
hope they will not say word about the
market-house on the avenue until it looks
b little better than at present; as to the
improvements in progress there however we
10 not wish to say word.
EaT "The Deluge" was visited yester-
|isy by many of our citizens and the stran-
gers new here, and expressions of delight
we're frequent; no one appeared dissattis-
ped. 1t is certainly we'll worth visit.
sdrLate last evening re stopped into
lFon Hall, to see the little Aztecs, and were
surprised to see a large crowd around the
Fs0le apparently delighted with these
''nderful little creatures, as they danced
the sound Of the violin. 1t was really
Enusing to see the people lingering SO late
''tehing every movement of this strange
4Alng race of beings. lie Petit Ole Bull
Nicholas Goodall-is also great fayorite,
nd deservedly so. Take the whole exhibit
'n together and it is certainly worth the
1al price of admission.
