Dr.. JAMES L. THAYER's BESEFIT.-To-night,
DIR. Thayer expects to be made the happy recip-
| lent of a well filled purse. A number of his
friends, both civil and military, have made up
their minds to evince towards him, in a sub
stantial manner, their appreciation of his mer-
Its. He Is quite young man, and had, In his
setting out Of his professional career, strong op-
position to overcome. Persons who held ex-
alted positions in the profession worked against
him, but with the Doctor, and his motto, " Ex-
celsior," they could not prevail. The press
took his part, the public sympathized with him
and gave him their support; and now he COM
mands a salary equal to that demanded by those
who consider themselves the shining lights of
the arena. His engagement here has been a
decided success. We hope his benefit may
prove so.

| NEW MATERIAL.-We have seen q speci-
men of a new kind of ore which was shown us
| by Mr.. +. ii. Hall, of the Treasury Department.
| The material Is called Franklinite ore, which
is patented and can be used only by Herring 4
Co., of New York. The ore is obtained from a
mine in New Jersey, and is the residuum after
| the removal of the zinc from the original ore.
The material is then left in a peculiar state,
which, when cast in proper form, cannot be
drilled by any process now known. 1t thus
| becomes invaluable for the construction of
| burglar proof safes, &c. 1t will work q valu-
able reform in these articles.

| lively appearance which II has at other periods
! during the war when our army has been in
front of Washington. Long trains of freight
cars may he seen passing over into Virginia
at all hours of the day and night, and trains
loaded with forage and other army supplies.
which extend half the length of the avenue, are
often left standing on the track.
REPAIR THE BRIDGE.-Somebody will fall
through the Tenth street bridge over the canal.
unless immediate repairs are made on the same.
Several of the planks are loose, and one has

other injury to persons on this bridge, the press
of the city will not be to blame.
