DANGEROUS The habit, which some OF the
water renters have, of allowing their hydrants
to run all the time, in order to prevent the
water in them from freezing, should, by all
means, be corrected, as its consequences are OF
a serious character, The water, as it RUS
across the side walks, and into the cutters,
freezes, and renders walking extremely un-
comfortable, and, to people advanced in life,
exceedingly dangerous. Two old residents OF
the city, Messrs. John T. Evans and Thomas
Waddey, had falls yesterday, from slipping on
the ice that had formed on the pavements,
and both were severely injured.

REPORTERS VISIT TO RICHMOND. The re-
porter for the Gazette, who accompanied the
Washington reporters on their late visit to
Richmond returned last night He says the
trip was one of the most delightful ever made
by pleasure party. The GOODNESS of the
weather prevented much sightseeing on the
way down the river, but the officers OF the
steamer Vanderbilt made everything as COM
Portable as could be. On the arrival OF the
party in Richmond all proceeded to ST. Peter 5
Cathedral, to witness the celebration OF The
Christmas Mass, and hear the music OF the
immortal Mozart, rendered by as fine an amateur
choir as sings in any church in the country
After the mass the party went to the Spots
wood, where the proprietor, Mr.. james Mill
ward, offered the hospitalities of his house,
and, during the sojourn there OF the party, did
what he could do to make their time pass pleas
anty, and proved to all that he was eminantly
capable of keeping hotelI" About II o'clock
Christmas morning the members of the press
of Richmond commenced to call upon their
brother quillsman, and from that hour until
Monday night employed all their time in dis
pensing favors. The city officials waited upon
the visitors, and begged that they would con-
slider themselves at home, and join them in
Christmas greeting held in Mayor CahOon's
Office There, as we'll as at the banquet OF
Saturday night, all passed as delightfully."- as at
a marriage feast" The whole company of
visitors wish to return their most sincere thanks
for the kindness of which they were the re-
cipients from their friends in Richmond. and
only leg that their late hosts will soon give AL
exandria and Washington "a quick respond to
their call. :"
