Dull Children.

The teacher Of large school had a
little girl under her care, who was ex.
ceedingly backward in her lessons. She
was at The bottom Of the class, and seem
ed to care but little about what passed in
IT. Daring :he school hours singing was
sometimes employed as a relaxation, and
noticing that this little gir had a very
clear, sweet voice, her teacher said TO
her :
Jane you have good voice, and you
may lead the singing
She frightened up, and from that time
her mind seemed more active.
Her lessons were attended TO, and she
made steady progress. One Gay, as the
teacher was going home she overlook
Jane and one of her school fellows.

sronds,les Of Tie Stor.

GEoRsErowN, April q, 1852
The wind has been blowing a strong gale from
northeast ever since early yesterday afternoon, at
tended by heavy fall Of rain last night and thil
morning. Strong fears are entertained that the
present heavy fall Of water, added to the already
swollen state of the Potomac viii result in more
serious freshet than any we have had for several
years past. The late freshet is far from having
subsidized from this point west of us, and we con.
Tess that the indications at this time are of rather
an alarming character.
An individual by the name Of . riah Aper na-
i've OF Fairfax county. Va. but for many years a
resident of our city, committed suicide at his resi-
oence on Frederick street. by cutting his throat
with a razor, yesterday evening about O'Clock
ne had In former years been possessed of consid-
cradle property. but through the too free use of
strong drink, and other misfortunes he became
considerably reduced in circumstances II is sup
posed that these misfortunes, together with some
domestic dinicuities; brought about disordered
state of the mind, which, being infamed by con-
tinued Indulgence in his old enemy, drink } de-
throned his reason; and that while laboring under
paroxysn OF partial insanity, he committed the
deed. but was detected by his family, and pre-
vented. He was very respectfully connected. and
for many years, before the fatal DESTROYER fstrong
DRINK paralyzed his energies, an industrious
and enterprising man. Up to the time of closing
s letter no inquest has been held the heavy rain
preventing 1t.
We have been asked where is the excitement
uPoh tue SUBJECT OF annexation to WASHINGTON.
ne only answer We have to give to the inquiry
is that the friends and advocates of the measure do
MOI desire 10 get up any great excitement upon the
subject. They deem IL d matter of too much i'm
Portance to he properly determined while the pub
Tic mind is influenced by excitement Those
having the matter in hand prefer rather to wait
upon our citizens at their houses and places Of bu-
siness, and submit the matter To them for their
acceptance or rejection in 4 calm. rational and
business like manner. In word they wish il tn
be determined upon its own merits. wholly di-
vested OF every other consideration. The fact is
we rather incline to the belief that the opponents
OF the measure have been to use u military phrase
thrown completely hOrs du combat by recently
having the few rational arguments, (viz: the re-
moval OF the post Office and custom house J upon
which they have heretofore relied. completely
swept away from them by the assurance from the
highest authority, that neither of these offices
would be discontinued if the matter shall be con-
sumInated.
