GEORGETOWN, Aug. s,


In all that part of our city lying adjacent

eral improvement is visible. Scores of houses,
large and small, may here be seen, which a

work was executed by Mr.. Walter Cooley, one
of our most faithful master carpenters. The
painting, which is excellent, was done by
Messrs. w. II. Cooley and John Fowler. This
beautiful improvement, both in design and
workmanship, would be hard to beat.

Severe Storm-Break in the Canal.

PATERSON, N. J. August 6, lS53.-We
had a very severe storm to-day, which
commenced about o'clock this morning,
and continued for about five hours.
The Morris canal gave way in two diff
ferent places. 1t will take some time to
repair it. They have not stopped the
water yet, and it continues to flood the
streets in the western part of the city, so
much so that the people are obliged to
remove. Men are busily engaged in re-
pairing the break.
The damage is estimated at five Or six
thousand dollars.
