DISASTROUS TERMISATIoN OF A FRoLIC.-
Three youths of Washington set sail from that
place yesterday evening for little trip down
the Potomac, but when nearly opposite this
city were overtaken by a squall, which upset
their boat. Being on the fats they were able
to wade, and thus saved themselves with
"ducking," to counterfeit the effects of which,
after righting their boat, they came to this CITY
and drank copiously, from the effects of which
they became boisterous, and not needing the
warning OF the police were faally arrested and
taken to the station-house, where they spent the
night, and had time for sober reflection until
O'Clock this morning, when they were taken be-
fore the mayor, paid the fine imposed, and
started ON their way home, 1t is hoped wiser If
not better boys.
FRUIT-Accounts from the lower counties
on the Potomac represent the fruit crop as very
abundant and of unusually fine quality. The
boats bring up large quantities to this and the
Washington market. Peaches are especially
abundant.-Gdsete, last erening.
