ENTERTAINMENT OF ORPHANS.

We find by the Baltimore papers that the Odd Fellows
of that city have neen making glad the hearts of the
orphan children during the holydays The standing
mitee education had the children Of deceased men,
bers assembled for Christmas festival to the number
SEVEN HUNDRED; and having marched in procession to
the Hall Of the Maryland Institute very interesting
mental exercises took place, consisting of prayer odes
addresses &c., in tue presence of number spectators
Mr. JAMES c. NSDr of the speakers adyerted to the
origin of the plan Of education of orphans by the Odd Fell
lows and ascribed it, in complimentary terms to gen.
tleman then on the stage, THOMAS PHENIx, Esq The
account in &c Sun says:
cat the close of the address the company proceeded to
the other end of the hall and partoek of bountful
ply Of confectionery the children especially receiving
most liberal variety of the delicious things Of which
great display was made When all had partaken suiii-
GENTLY, and filed their little pockets their utmost ca
paciy they again occupied the Seats and listened to
pleasing variety Of airs by the celebrated Kunke Opera
Troupe, which failed not to excite the most mmoderae
laughter and applause IL about o'clock before the
children with their kind friends had cleared the vast
hall"
This reminds that the brethren of Washington are
not remiss in their attentions to the widows and orphans
Of members Of the Order They not only attend to the
interests Of education but by scasonable gifts often carry
comfort and consolation to the needy.

THE METROPOLITAN RAILROAD.

Our readers will be pleased to see that, nothing
daunted by the I" hard times" nor by the apathy
of capitalists and business men, the President and
Directors Of this Company have determined to put
a portion of this important work under contract.
This portion extends from the western line of the
District of Columbia (three and half miles from
Georgetown) to the city of Frederick. The con-
nexion with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad once
secured, it will devep the Importance Of the enter
prise, saving distanFe of fortyodd miles between
Washington and the junction of the road near the
Point Of Rocks and connecting Georgetown and
Washington with the trade Of rich and beautiful
agricultural region.
As the proposed york is unquestionably Of ma
tional interest, andhs Congress is the local legsla
ture for the Districtc there be reasonable doubt
Of the propriety Of n early appropriation in aid Of
the work From the depot of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to the western limit of the District is
between six and seven miles, and the aid sought
would perhaps b sufficient for the construction
of that part of theroad and of substantial yiaduc
over Rock Creek Nor would we suggest this as
gratuity, or torporator, but as an advance for
the free transportation Of the mails and all other
public property over the road We hope our public
authorities prepared to press the subject upon
the attention Of Congress- in satisfactory manner,
in time for action at the present session.
