A Coon MAN.-Mr. Editor On Sunday
last our quiet town was visited by procession
from your city, and, for its credit, hope will
be the last of the kind that will .annoy our
citizens and violate what ought to be a sa-
cred day And for what purpose was this
molly crowd marched through our streets fol-
lowed by white and black men, women, and
children? Nothing but show and parade, for
certainly 1t added nothing to the solemnity of
the occasion. Moreover, these parades bring
together those who annoy our citizens by
breaking into the engine houses, ringing of
bells, breaking up church service, and drink
ing and carousing.
Those having charge of the music on Sun
day last appeared DESTROYS Of annoying those
in the Presbyterian church, for in passing that
venerable edi6ce they increased in noise, both
instrumental and vocal.
1t is to be hoped that the authorities Of the
town will take steps to arrest and check these
abuses in future. A CITIZEN.

This is good man. From the ends of his
or-bristling hair to tho scsrf-skin of his
virtuous pedal extremities, We are sure he is
without guile. No doubt he gives thanks
many times day that he is not like other
men-publicans and sinners We hail it rs
one of the advantages Of consolidating the
two cities, that In absorbing Georgetown we
shall annex this good man to Washington.
But what procession does he refer to? Can
he mean that of the Odd Fellows and Masons

that funeral which touched all beholders by
Its affecting sOlemnities conducted with that

The CONDITION OF You've THRooP-The
Baltimore Sun Of this morning says: Nathan
ID. Throop, the young man from Washington
city, wounded during the election riots, still
fingers at the house of officer Morgan. lie
yesterday morning appeared somewhat easier
and partook Of food. He was also able to con-
verse with his parents, who have arrived in
the city and are in attendance upon him.
Prof Smith, who has him in charge, is of
the opinion that though he may possibly sur
vive a few days longer, he cannot possibly
recover, as the ball in bis head cannot be
found and must produce inflammation and con-
seauent death OF the remaining wounded,
80 far as we could ascertain, there is no Sc
zioas apprehensiOns Of fatal results, all their
cases eyidencing improvement.
