FUNERAL OF THE LATE JUDsON MITCHELL
Yesterday afternoon, q very large congregation,
composed Of the oldest and best citizens OF the
town, assembled at Dunbarton street church,
to attend the funeral of hudson Mitchell, Esq
The capacious chapel was filled. The solemn
service OF the church was performed by Rev.
DR.. w. b. Edwards after which the procession
was formed and moved to Oak Hill Cemetery,
where the body was inferred with appropriate
ceremonies.
THE CANAL 1t has been stated that "Dam
No. 5, above Wiiliamsport, is washed away
the stone aqueduct two hundred feet high at
Williamsport fallen in. The stone cuIyert
four miles below carried away; three breaks
near Sharpsburg; three more at Edwards
Ferry. and four between Seneca and George
town." We learn that the damage at No 5
Is comparatively unimportant. The aqueduct
where the greatest damage. was done is washed
out about 100 feet and will be trunked and
completed by the 18th inst
As to the breaks at Sharpsburg, Edwards's
Ferry and between Seneca and Georgetown,
they are of no Importance, IL there are any, but
the existence Of any such breaks is en- tireIy I'M
known to officials here. Farmers and mer-
chants who are acquainted with the condition
OF the canal, consider the statement above re-
ferred to very improbable Merchants here
have received the gratifying information that
boats now at Sharpsburg and at depots in that
vicinity are loading with prod uce for this mar
ket. They have already received directions
as to the disposition OF flour and grain upon its
arrival.

chorus And first as to the orchestra. 1t is
really matter of wonder to see in this city an
orchestra Of such superlatiye talent or Mr..
Anschutz's Incompatible ability as oonduc-
tor it Is unnecessary to speak. He has been too
long and too generally known to urge any
additional recognition. In a word, he Is be-
yond question the fret orchestral conductor in
America. But the instrumentalists do require
mention. Such another orchestra will prob.
ably never again visit this city. 1t is In fast
the cream of the orchestral talent of the whole
country. Combined, in the first place, Of the
chief instrumentalists attached for years to the
New York Academy of Music, under Mr.. Gro
ver's management, it has added in every city
such instrumen talists as excelled. From CHI
cago came MIR. Brum, the wonderful trombone
performer, who gave us taste Of his quality
on Saturday evening; from st. Louis is rare
French horn performer from Cincinnati is a
violin virtuoso; from Philadelphia e clarionet-
fist and violin eellist; and, added to the con.
stantly accommodating orchestra here are the
members OF Koppitz's orchestra, embracing in
itself several principals Of the first character
from the New York Academy, together with
chiefest musical excellence OF this city-a cor.
netlst, two French horns, q violin, trombone,
and others.
The chorus is distinguished for Its unusual
numbers; its great strength in sopranos-voices
so rare to find in chorus-and by the general
excellence of voice as evidenced in occasional
solo bits, as in Martha, Tdnnhauser and operas
where single voices of the chorus give a bit Of
solo.
Tonight this company will give with all the
OF its magnificent resources, Was.
ner's great Opera of Tannhauser, new in Wash
ington and which has. excited so much critical
attention wherever performed.
