RicHARD CARTER Is the Agent for the Asericaa
Organ In the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth and Sew
enth Wards, and also of Georgetown.
B. d. KLoPpER, Sixth street, between New York
avenue and X street, Is Agent for the Third and
Fourth Wards
Mr.. CoRcoRAN intends on his return from Eu-
rope TO erect country house on bis estate north
Of the city, near the farm of the late John Agg,
and short distance from the Glenwood Cemetery.
The situation is high and salubrious, and although
the soil il barren, Mr.. Corcoran Is determined by
the assistance of capital and skill to render It not
inferior in productiveness TO any farm in the Dis
trict. When bis improvements are completed he
win possess country residence OF surprising ele-
gance and comfort s>.
We observe In q late number Of the New York
Herald that Mr.. 9. has recently sold several lots In
the upper part Of New York for 81 500 each.
These lots IL we mistake not, were part of the
estate of Samuel Swartwout, which came into the
possession Of the United States, and were bought
by Mr.. Corcoran for $50 each! He also purchased
many lots in Newark, New Jersey, belonging to
the same, estate, for $40 each. Mr.. C0rcoran must
have realized large fortune from the purchase Of
Swartwout's property alone.
x RACHEL Is CoxiSG.-- Rachel, the distinguished
French tragic actress will perform at the National
early In December. We learn that the price OF
tickets Is to be SIS for the lower part of the house.
We regard this as altogether too high. In New
York the maximum price was $3, and In Boston
81. Washington IL by no means wealthy city,
and her citizens ought not to be taxed higher for
their Injuries than the citizens Of New York, II as
high We therefore hope that Mons. Felix viii
reduce his scale Of prices to point enable
our citizens to give Rachel full house. At IS q
ticket we cannot promise anything like large
audience.

RxrUEs or Mr.. d. ]. BRowNE--Mr, Brown,

ed from Europe, after an absence OF three months,
spent in the collection Of seeds roots, and cuttings
suitable for the soil and climate Of the various
sections Of the United States. He visited England,
France, Belgium, Holland, Prussia, Hamburg, and
Denmark.
THE CEsTRr MARKET.-The market this morn
ing was well supplied with everything in the pro-
visionary line; but prices we regret to state were
as high as ever, with the exception Of vegetables.
II this state Of things continues, many Of our citi-
zens will be compelled to adopt vegetarian diet
as q matter of necessity
Notwithstanding the abundant rains OF the pres
ent year, good butter is enormously high. What
Ii the cause Of this anomaly Il seems to us there
must be "gouging somewhere. II 80, where Is
its Let US know II possible

SERIOUS Accommodations III 1-2 A. NJ, a lady
whose name we did not learn, was run over neal
the corner of A IL street and Pennsylvania ave
nue., by buggy, and severely injured
The lady was taken into Gilman's Drug store
and physicians were promptly on the spot She
was insensible, and unable to give her name. The
nature of her injuries we did not learn
P.S. Since the above was in type we have
learned that the unfortunate person injured was ar
Irish woman, and we regret to announce that she
died sbout L 2 o'clock, and before she could be re-
moved from the drug store. Her brain was injur,
ed by the conclusion, and, being In very delicate
condition, the result was fatal. Her husband
whose name We could not learn, was informed o.
the accident, and came TO the store before her
death, but che did not recognise him.
This sad accident solely the result Of furious
driving. The buggy was driven by boy, but his
name has not been ascertained. We trust that ac
tive measures win be takento apprehcnd him.
