GEORGETOWN, d. c., June II, 1853.

DANGERous.-A number Of young men, some
| Of them not residents Of the city, have been in
| the habit OF trying the speed OF hired horses on
the principal streets Of the city after sunset Ere
qurntly persons in crossing streets have been
obllSed to display their agility In order to es-
cape being knoc ked down by the horses and
probably seriously injured. Common sense
should teach those young men the improperly
| of fast driving where aged persons of both sexes
ana young children are constantly passing. There
Us a law OF the Corporation Which makes fast
driving an offence subject to fne. Violators
would do well to try their teams on safer tracks
and not endanger the lives of citizens and their
own surplus funds.
MUDDY, QUITE MUDDY Within d quarter Of
| a mile OF the Capitol, in one of the PRINCIPAL
| thoIoug hfaIes of this Metropolis -Four and a.
bali street-there Ii cOnside rabe mud How il
came there, or who's to blame for its being there.
| Is more than We can say; but there 1t is as our
| sad experience can vouch for. 1t is not surface
mud, either, but is contained in great dee holes,
'hickly Widespread throughout the breadth of the
street from pennsylvania avenue to MARYLAND ave-
nue. Ii ought to be Temedied, really for il is
death on horses that have to wade tn it with
| burthens, and destruction wheeled vehicles
that are dragged through it.
| BUSINESS appeared to be reviving throug hout
the city this morning. Many wagons and other
vehicles standing in the streets i'm the vicinity of
the warehouses and factories denoted the arrival
OF many OF our neighbors OF Maryland and Wiz
| gina To make purchases and dispose Of their
stock. The activity Of the statesmen was called
| into full requisiton to supply purchasers, and
altogether the retail trade was brsker than It has
been for some weeks
| PAYING OEF.-The officers appointed under a
special act Of the City Councils for the preseiva-
ton OF law and order, some months ago are now
receiving the pay for their services The amount
required to pay these special officers was 81 300,
wIlch mas been placed in the hands Of Captain
JOhn Mills, OF the Auxiliary Guard for that pur-
pose The officers have waited with more pa
thence than is usual in such cases and now the
receipt Of the funds affords them great satisfac-
ton.
