a few days ago | saw with regret an account
of the proceedings Of our City Council, where
in an ado-'muc ado about nothing was
made In regard to paying worthy Carpenter
for some necessary repairs to the miserable,
3D. rckelty porch in font of the Mayors Of
fee, which work was done by order Of the Mayor.
Now, / do not intend to cucumber your columns
as the peculiar champion of the Mayor, Tor l
did not support him, in Convention, Tor the
Office but this take leave to say; he makes,
III my humble Judgment, most excellent 9th
Ger, and should have his hands upheld by the
people and the City Council. In the matter
OF repairs to hat shameful looking porch about
the Market, he deserves communication. The
place was dangerous to life and limb;' acas a
nuisance, land is) to the eye as we'll as to the
body and hope his honor will hav the OIL
cial courage to 'abate the nuisance. Butlor
the outlay made by Lodge of Masons large
part of the public property would be untenant-
able--eLt rely so, and when we contempa that
the Master of that Lodge was the one who
beuueathcd the land to erect this Market
House upon | hope | may be pardoncd tor
becoming reasonably ''wrothy'' at the neglect
of our City Fathers Shade of the departed !
What would you say could you rise from your
dusty bed, and witness your neg lccted gift !,
1t would, have no doubt, think another aDd
different race had possession! Is this the way
to care for gift, which in days lang syne, out
Of the noble generosity Of the donor, was be-
qucathcd to our people to be cared tor and
pcrpetuated by them? =
About the first place of public character:
stranger, "who tsrres for a night visits,
is the Market House. What must his thong hts
be when he views such building Calus

The necessity Of the in,n1e7nte repairs TO

WASHINGTON ITEMs.-The Calvary Baptist
Church, corner of Eighth and H streets, a
stately structure, was destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning The fire is believed to
have originated in the woodwork, surrounding
the furnaces, in which fires were made by the
colored sexton, about clock in the morning,
that the building might be thoroughly heated
prior to the commencement OF the II o'clock
services. The Church was built and completed
in 1865, and was finished in an elegant manner
1t was built through the united efforts of Rev.
r. r. Hewlett and his congregation, among
whom is Amos Kendall, who contributed very
largely to the erection of this house of worship.
Arrangements are now being made by the
Washington City Temperance Society for hold
ing grand temperance jubilee on the night Of
the first day OF January The intention is to
commence the meeting about five o'clock, and
issue an invitation to all those who have sign
ed the temperance pledge during the year, to
be present and participate in grand reunion.
McCaulay, the over coat thief, as he is called,
has been recaptured and sent to jail.
