Questions, stated that the Rev. }. L.. Bartlett

PRESBYTERIAN Church of this place to bee their

duty TO accept of this call. was laid before the
Presbytery, and they had unanimously agreed
that they should meet that evening by Il commit

IMPROVED AND IMrRovINe.-The visitor to the
| west end who took his walk to the river shore.
near the old stone house, and along through
Foggy Bottom few years ago, was apt to express
some surprise that any residents could be found
| in such an undesirable locality Little was done
| there except by the duckers and fishermen who
occupied the tenements erected near the river
| The Foggy Bottom chills, so well known to the
sa isrt Of the ne medical faculty Were suf
| Of that region and the establishment of business
depOtS there. But five wears has effected a yery
great change, and now we see private property
| improving, and many evidences of prosperity
| few years ago the old stone house stood alone
by the river, desolate deserted In a manner by
human beings and looking as if il might be ONLY
| the abode Of
..Fiends, ghosts and sprites
| Who haunt the nights"
Within five years il has been rendered valuable
| and is one of the busy places of Washington
The propri etoss Of the western wharyss Messrs
Morgan and Rhinehardt having released this
property went to considera Die expense to improve
II. They have here established mill for the
preparation OF fertilizers as plaster, bone dust
&c and it is also the depository for the Chincha
Island Peruvian guanO. The wharveS which
Were regarded almost as worthless. by an expen-
| diture of about $1,000 have been made equal to
| any In the District They were selected nv the
Government agents for the landing of all the ma
seflsl Tor the Treasury Extension and the Wash
| lhgton Aqueduct. When those works are in
active operation, the life and activity at the west
ern wharves Is not equalled bv any of our river
localities since the stopPage Of the appropria-
| lions, and the discharge of hundreds of workmcn
from these public works. the business of the
wharves is dependent upon private enterprise;
vet they present quite an animated appearance
even at this dull season. Within few feet of the
| wfIarves the new w.rks of the Washington Ga.
Light Company are being constructed giving
enpioyment to a large number OF mechanics and
\ laborers. These works are designed to I've as pcr
feet rs any in the United States and when com
Plete will cost not less than S2OO,OOO The resi-
dents here look with confidence Ia the operation
Of Ine gas works Tor an entire disinfec,on of the
foggy Bottom region, especially the causes for
such sickness are gradually disappearing.
