We understand thas Mayor Addison has in
press pretty highly spiced reply to the las!
annual report OF Mr. T. Dodge, President OF
the Metropolitan Railroad. If We are co rect.
ly informed in regard to the nature of this re-
ply, it will be likely to engender no small
amount Of talk, if not chickering's and heart
burnings, which is certainly anything else but
desirable in any community, and especially in
relation to a matter in which all who desire
the future prosperity of our city should feel a
deep and abiding interest. We sincerely hope,
however, that all these differences of opinion
In relation TO matter of so much moment ma y

ment Of our citizens; and that we shall finally
all unite, and put our shoulder to the wheel
and push forward, without any unnecessary
delay, the important improvement before mem
toned. To think about the reputation of our
subscription to this work, or the abandonment

Henry Addison, Mayor, in reply to malicious
assault made upon him by the President of the
Metropolitan Railroad Company in his late re.

last, collection amounting TO Sl35 was raised
from the congregation, and So from the Parish
school attached to the same church. This
congregation is presided over by the Rev. Mr.
Tillinghast, So pastor, and when we consider
that the congregation was unusually small at
the time the collection was lifted, we consider
il a very liberal one indeed. On the same
day the Methodist Protestant Sabbath School
contributed $50, and the Methodist Episcopal
Sabbath School S29 80 for the benefit of the
orphans of the above-named places.
Quite spirited meeting of the GO unterri-

AT the Georgetown College, there are over
three hundred students in attendance; two
hundred and forty Of whom are boarding

year.
