GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.

GEoRaErowN, August 20, 1856.
We would advise all who may wish to spend
a day of unalloyed pleasure to procure ticket
for the Washington Highlanders' excursion to
the Great Falls on Tuesday next. The fine
canal packet, NJ c. Meigs, Captain W. Ii.
Ritter, has been chartered for the occasion.
and we havh't a doubt but it will be decide dly
one OF the most pleasant excursions of the
season-our personal knowledge of the boat
her gentlemanly commander, and some Of
those engaged in getting up the trip, enables
US to speak thus confidently. We would in
form those of our own citizens who may wish
TO go that tickets can be b ad at the store of
w. IL IL. g. Ritter, near the market
We have not doubt but that the attempt
mentioned in my letter of yesterday, to fire
the dwelling of MIR. John Scott, was the work
Of sHme of the PAL ties of villainous boys who
are in the habit of making efforts to get the
1re companies out and melting them to fi ght.
1t is notorious fact that a majority of the
hghts and riots that occur among our fire
companies are originated by these graceless
scamps 1t would be a good idea for each of
the companies to carry a bunch of rods and to
have mutual underst anding that they will
thrash severely every boy they catch near
their apparatus when they are called our. Our
word for it fights and riots among the com.
panies would soon cease.
Many consumers of bread have called upon
us with the request that We would urge upon
our Corporate authorities the necessity of re-
enacting the old law regulating the size of the
Loaf according to the price Of -four. It ia a
notorious fact that the arguments used by
those who advocated the repeal of the law,
viz: that competition in the trade would Sc
cure to consumers more bread for the same
money, than they received under the law has
proved perfect failure. When -four was
selling at $40 to sl2 per barrel, the loaf as
sumed the Tom Thumb or liliputisn size, and
has so continued ever since S.
