GEORG ETC WIN,

AN ELoPEMRNT.-The Baltimore american
or this morning says:-A little excitement was
created at the President street depot YESTERDAY
morning, about half-past IL O'Clock, by a mai,
named Arthur Mcbride, of Chamberlain Pa
attempting to elope with the wife of Edward
Petit, formerly of Georgetown, but now of this
city. 1t appears that Mcbride and Mrs Petit
in company with a child of the latter, aged
about three years, came to the depot, shipped a
sewing machine to Easton, Pa, and mads in
quiries as to the departure of trains connecting
with other trains for that place. Whilst they
were busy in the inquiries concerning the
movements of the trains. Petit appeared upon
the scene and insisted upon having the custody
OF the child, Mcbride incontinently taking to
his heels. Petit was an ordinary looking man
with mild countenance, and did not seem to
be agitated at the thought Of his wife Punning
away, but raved positively, "that he was going
to retain that child" He deliberately picked
II up and hurredly walked away. Mrs. Petit
followed, but the husband succeeded in dis
tancing her; she afterwards returned to the de-
pot, minus the child, and left on the 2:55 train
In the afternoon, evidently for Eastern. in COM
pany with Mcbride, who had in the interim re-
Joined her.
RIVER NRws.-The schooner Virgil has ar
rived from Baltimore with 5000 feet lumber
for Wheatly & Bros, and the steamer Lady of
the Lake cleared for Norfolk with -four and
general merchandise.
GRAIN TRADE.-The schooner Kitty Ann
arrived from Alexandria with 900 bushels wheat
for Hartly & Bro, and the schooner Lizzie
Ragan from Alexandria with 800 bushels corn
for Joseph G.. and John M. Waters. The sales
to day were 900 bushels good red wheat, at

TUE NRw GERMAN ARMY.-The manufac-
ture OF the Mauser rifle for the German army is
proceeding so rapidly that private memoran-
DUN has recently been issued laying down the
order in which ii is TO be issued to the six army
corps about to receive it. The list begins with
the guards, and proceeds successfully to the
