GEoRGETows.-After a long discussion in the
Senate on Saturday, the bill giving the Georgetown
Corporation power TO levy a tax upon the inbsbit-
ants, to pay the subscription Of the city to the
Metropolitan Railroad, and also to introduce water
and gas into the city, was passed.
Georgetown has long needed the two latter
articles, as many dark night we have stumbled
over divers distractions in the streets for want Of
sufficient light; and water has at times been as
valuable an article as brandy. We hope that the
Georgetownians win duly appreciate the advantages
afforded them by the passage of this bin, and act
accordingly.
ORANGE AND ALEXANDRIA RAILRoAD.--This road
appears 10 be In such aourishing condition at the
present time, that no stock can be obtained except
at a heavy premium.
The directors Of the company have revised the
road free, and have furnished each conductor with
list Of the persons in order TO prevent fraud.
GHosrs-our neighbors Of the Union Office
have been annoyed lately by divers uncouth and
strange noises, which have been heard in various
parts Of the building at night, and which has
caused some Of the inmates to feel rather lonely Al
night
Some unchsritable persons assign as a reason
for these noises that the venerable Thomas Richie
has returned in propria persona, TO superintend
the various movements Of the workmen, and di.

A WONDERFUL discovery has recently
IA been made by DR.. Curtis Of this city, in
the treatment OF Consumption, Asthma and all
diseases ofthe Lungs. We refer to DR.. Cur
tis' Hygeana. or Inha.ing Hygean Vapor and
Cherry Syrup" With this new method, DR..
c. has restored many fficted ones to health,
as an evidence of which he has irnumerable
certificates. Speaking OF the treatment, a
physician remarks, cit is evident that inhsl-
ing-constantly breathing an agreeable, heal
ing vapor--the medicinal properties must come
in direct contact with the whole arial cavities
OF the lungs, and thus escape the many and
vari d changes produced upon them when in
troduced into the stomach. and subject to the
proc SIS OF Digestion" The Hygeana is for
sale at all the Druggists throughout the coun-
try.-New York Dutchman, Jan. IA.
The Inhaler is worn on the breast under I'll e

heat OF the body being sufficient to evaporate
