| SPRINGS TO-DAY, offers one of the best opportu-
mites for enjoyment that has been presented
to this community for some time past. The
procession will march from the City Hotel,
at an early hour in the day, and the trains,
on the Alexandria and Washington Rail
road, run so as to offer every convenience to
approach or leave the springs, during the
day The finest music in this Vicinity will be
present during the day to enliven the pa
geant and furnish the dancers an oppor-
tunity of to "trip" it on the light fantastic
toe." The proceeds will be applied to a be-
nevolent object, and altogether the entertain
ment promises to be equally pleasant and
profitable.

over, Fishtown was a deserted locality, until
the summer sun ripened the watermelnns
and cautalopes then it ''went in melons,
and afterwards relapsed into dullness until
Spring came again. Now, the increasing
trade OF the city has changed all this. and
Fishtown does business all the year round.
