ment OF horse diseases, injuries or bad habits
heretofore, We have known of no thoroughly
educated veterinary surgeon in Washington,

MESSRs. CHANDLER AND VANsANr.-Tn orr
perambulatiOns to-day we heard numbers of
our citizens lauding the Hons Mr. Chandler.
of Pennsylvania, and Vansant, of MARYLAND,
for the active part they took in the Water
Works debate in the House on Saturday last.
These gentlemen are both practical men, and
generally know what they talk about MIR.
Chandler was for years an active member ~
the " ater Works Committee of PHILADELPHIA
Mr. Sansalt has been for years connected
with the city government Of Baltimore, and
knows much about the cost of introducing wa
ter into the city AMI the value of it. These
gentlemen are not alone friends of the govern
nent, but also true friends Of the city.
How DID IT HAPrEN?-While ENJOYING a
Sabbath day stroll, we noticed that the win
dows of the pretty little Episcopal Chapel in
the Seventh Ward were shattered as if done
by persons throwing stones against them. We
were taught to believe that of all outrapes.
those against house dedicated to the service
of the Almighty, were among the worst. If
those windows were shattered by rowdy BOYS
and we believe they were, we sincerely hone
the villains may be discovered and severely
punished.
