Need of d Public Bath.


The question Is often asked, Why the citizens Of
Washington have not suitable bathing establish
menti Il was the subject Of conversation between
several gentlemen, few days ago, while passing
over the Long Bridge The plan Of a floating bath
house. similar to those at New York and other
places, being suggested, was deemed altogether
desirable and practicable. II Is well known that
the city side Of the river affords no proper place
for bathing. Persons may not battle within sight
Of the wharves and dwellings,, but under cover Of
darkness, unless they violate law and decency ;
and besides, the water is comparatively shallow
and impure In this latter respect arising from
the fact that the contents OF the sewers Of the city
are made tributaries TO 20 much Of the river as
washes the Washington shore. Now, these ohjec.
tons can DO obviated by the establishment Of a
well-arranged bath-house on the Virginia side Of
the river II could be moored near the main chan
mel, and adjoining the bridge, and stairway or
light structure could be mads TO form way OF
communication. The advantages would be, greater
depth of water, as also of purity a stronger cur
rent and of course a more uniform temperature
than could be the case on this side Of the river.
It's utility and convenience cannot be denied. Il
could be resorted 10 at almost any hour. The walk
on the bridge, TO and fro, would be pleasant and
beneficial, and the concern, under the management
Of competent person, with moderate charges,
would oe well patronzed.
VIII not some enterprising citizens take this
matter In hand and let us have facilities for enjoy
ing the luxury of river bath 2 Perhaps stock
company might more cffectually accomplish the
object. BATTER

An ELoPExESrrS HIaH LIFE IN ORANGE, N. j.
An unprecedented excitement has been created in
the neighboring village Of Orange, by the elope-
ment of married gentleman with young lady Of
great personal attractions and the daughter of one
Of the richest residents of that place. The gentle
man who has thus absconded has been doing bust
ness in New York, and has left wife and child in
Orange unprotecte1 and uncared for. Previous to
leaving he borrowed Of various business men sums
ranging from $500 to $4,000, in all to the amount
Of 900. 1t is unknown whether the clipping
parties have gone TO Europe, or whether they are
still in this country, but we learn that both left
notes avowing their determination not to return.
