The Americans are abused and insulted dur

and married faithessness, to such degree,
that the writer would appear to be mad. He
begs Rachel to return to France, and to leave
the Americans to their bears, babyshows
menageries, and other national fetes up to their
standard of intelligence.

COunterfeits.-A party of six or seven persons,
last week, visited our city, for the purpose of cir
culaiing counterfeit money--being the agents Of
that ingenious class Of rogues whose practice has
made Them almost perfect in the imitation of gen
uine bank paper. Two of The adventurers were
captured at the railroad station by police officers
John Davis and Handy and Mr. Kembel, county
constable; and, after examination before Justice
Hollngshead, they were committed 10 Jail, by
him, 10 await trial. Their confederates in crime,
including two small boys, have not been arrested.
Il may be that, admonished by the fate ofther two
associates, in limbo, they have left the city.
Burglars.-Within the past week we have
heard OF several cases of housekeeping and
robbery and now allude ID the subject, for the
purpose Of warning everybody who has anything
worth stealing to be on his guard. The burglars
appear to be particularly partial 10 such articles OF
silver they can conveniently stow away in their
capacious pockets; for instance, spoons never,
however, disregardng money, or watches, which
may happen in their way, or be discovered on
their breaking open private drawers.
Thanksgiving.-The citizens Of Georgetown
as well as those of Washington will observe Thurs
day next season Of thanksgiving and praise to
God for his innumerable blessings; at least those
whose hearts predispose them to engage in be-
coming services expressive of their gratitude to
"the Giver of every good and perfect gift"
-
Land Warrants.-The buying price for the
16O and 60acre land warrants is at the rate Of
81 IL cents an acre, and. for the 120 and 60-acre
warrants, 81 90; the selling price is two cents
higher. Forty notwithstanding price, $45

BenevOlence.-It appears from the report of
the Female Union Benevolent and Employment
Society that. during the year ending the first inst,
one hundred and ify-fve females have been
employed; 81 532 paid for work performed, and
that the sales from the depository have amounted
