THE THANKssIvINe PRAYER IN GRoRaErowN
CHuRcH--A Sesns.-On Saturday lest Bishop
Whittingham sent 10 every Episcopal clergyman
In the District Of Columbia In charge OF parish,
prayer OF Thanksgiving, with directions TO use
IL on all occasions OF public worship within eig ht
DAYS following the Sunday after the receipt Of his
letter. The prayer, which has been published In
this paper, thanks Almighty God for the happy
successes vouchsafed In 90 many instances to the
arms Of this nation; and more especially for the
deliverance Of this city and District from the
terrors Of blockade and siege.
This we understand caused quite futter In
some congregations In the District, and partic.
ularly in that Of Christ Church, Georgetown,
formerly presided over by that rampant shep.
herd, Rev. MIR. Norwood, whose very positive
secession proclivities induced him to take leave
Of his flock at a critical time, when he no doubt
had hopes that he would soon return to his charge
under the wing Of victorious rebel army; as be
locked favorite cat in the cellar with food
enough, as he supposed, to last 10 until his re-
turn. Poor puss would have starved had IL not
been for her rescue by some Union neighbors Of
the reverend secessionist
DR.. N. wassucceeded by Rev. Mr. Harris On
Sunday last, when he commenced to read the
prayer Of Bishop w hitting ham, many Of the irats
weak-minded brethren rose to leave, and there
was terrible rustling Of silks, and futter Of
crinoline, as the wearers thereof turned up their
pretty noses and crushed through the pews and
aisles to reach the outer door. The clergyman,
we understand, announced In an apologize way
that a sense Of duty obliged him to comply with
the directions OF his Bishop. This Modified some
Of the moderates, but their attitudes and gestures
were the reverse Of devout while the prayer was
read.
We hear that one Of the ladies tainted at the
door Of her residence from the excitement I'M
reasonably occasioned by the returning thanks
for the safety Of our homes and fresides.
ALL ABOUT WArcH.-L. wineburg was ar

who testified that he went TO Wineburg 10 get
that individual to regulate his watch. Wine
burg proposed to give the witness a much better
watch in exchange for his time piece, and $40
boot. Corrigan's watch was an old fashioned
English time-keeper; and the one offered In ex-
change was of the new style, more ornamental
than useful Corrigan left his watch and promised
amount. When he applied for his watch, Wine
burg refused TO give 10 up. WinebuIg was
