broke out in the second story Of the wholesale gro

entire building was wrapped in flames. The loss of
Gray a Brown is between $4,000 and $l3 600
which was fully insured. NIessrs. Huston & Milton

were insured at Muirs agency for Sl5 900, and at
the Madison office for 1000, which will, no doubt
cover all their losses Capt. VIM. Gay, occupying
the house adjoining Gray q Brown, was in imminent
peril Of being burned out several times. His roof
was burned off, and the entire building was flooded
with water which greatly damaged his stock OF gro
ceries, bagging. rope &c, of which the store was
full. His loss will be some s. 900 or So 000 all CO

As every man. in this town, having two ideas in
his head, is a regular reader of the HERALD, know
you will be pleased to publish letter Of glad tidngs
respecting it. fss..
Fifty years ago it was place Of extensive COM
mercial Importance but later times have not treated
it kindly in this particular. One of its neghboring
hills was the first spot designated by General Wash
ington for the site of the National Capitol other
minds prevailed and the great arena of demagogues
was established mile or two to the eastward. But
the business Of our city has recently taken new
start.
Extensive arrangements have been made for
making it the principal depot for the Cumberland
coal, brought to us by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal; but the climax has been capped by the open
ing to-day of the books for subscriptions to the stock
of the Metropolitan Railroad. Excepting about
three or four gentlemen our entire population have
put their shoulders to this wheel of fortune; and,
with one exception, our city fathers will probably
vote to take large amount OF stock The excep-
ton alluded to is man who was almost recently
elected our Mayor.
The railroad alluded to is to run from this city to
Fredericton and Hagerstown, in Maryland, thereby
crossing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and tap.
ping the Central Railroad Of Pennsylvania. The
result will be, that immense quantities Of produce
will reach tide water at our city sooner than in
another direction, and all the Western trade bound
to the Atlantic shore will pass through our city and
Washington on its way to Baltimore, while those
who are bound to the metropolis alone will not have
to 90 to Baltimore and then take back track to
Washington. And as connection is contemplated
between Georgetown and Washington, it is natural
that the citizens of Washington should feel deep
interest in the new road, and am glad to say they
ale manifestng it in substantial manner. With
such men as w. w. Corcoran and ]. w. Maury Of
Washington, and Francis Dodge Of Georgetown, at
its head this new enterprise must be eminently sue
cessful.
The beauty of Georgetown and its vicinity has
long been familiar to the world, but it never looked
more lovely than now. The fashionable world has
recently taken new start in this direction and we
now number among our citizens, Mr.. Bodisco, the
Russian Minister; Mr.. Champion the British Minis
ter; Baron Jarolt, Minister Resident of Prussia,
and Mr.. Secretary McClelland. And within year
past Mbere has been opened hotel in our town,
which is well kept neat orderly and just the place
for sensible man to be comfortable. The distance
from this hotel to the Capitol is just three miles, and
an omnibus leaves its door every five minutes until
IL o'clock at night.

though hardly mile apart, have never had any bot
ter or moro rapid means OF communication since the
frst European settlement here than they had before
Hendrick Hudson ever entered the bay. Probably
the Manhattan tribe of Indians made better time be-
tween the two points, in their light canoes than is
made by the small boats which now furnish the only
means Of transit.
With the fine ferry-boat which will be put on the
route in the beginning of July the passage will be
made in five or ten minutes. Your readers can in
quire the effect that will be produced on these marine
suburbs Of New York, by this Improvement. Hence
forth practically, the Narrows Of our noble bay are
bridged. MIQUoN.
