GEORGErOWN.

NINE of the regular Georgetown patrons of
the Metropolitan street railroad in one neigh
borhood, tired of waiting for q Car about 8
O'Clock this morning, walked to the avenue line
cars. tenth patron was half 50 uare off as
the long waited for car passed down and h allied
the driver, whe hadn't time TO stop just then,
so that No. 10 joined the.c nine IN an ave-
nue. car. This may have been the case earlier
and later than the hour named, and at other
points along the road. Can the line sffsrd to
discourage and drive of its patrons by such
management? The above facts are not stated.

owners OF the road to gain and retain popular

HE JNHRAHTHFULNEss OF FURNACES
doctor writes TO the Christian Union in whole
sale condemnation of bot-air furnaces. He as
serts that 80 out of every 100 furnaces now in
use cause more or less impairment OF health
and that more people die in the United 81 .tes
every year. from disease induced nv breathing
the air of furnace heated houses than die from
small pOx. The escape of noxious gases l. the
chief source of unhealthfulness. Most furp aces
are made of cast-iron, through which thes,
gases readily pass, and il made Of wrought iro
the great number of joints necessary in the
construction renders leakage almost certain
BESIDES this, there is another evil which is in
separable from this mode of heating houses
and is sufficient alone to Justify its abandon
ment. In house thus heated the inmates are
constantly bathed In a current Of warm or hot
air. Instead of receiving heat in direct rays as
they are radiated from their source or reflected
from surrounding objects, the occupants of
such house are warmed by being snbmered in
bath of heated air, and the effect is greatly
different from that Of prolonged submersIon in
warm water. Every one knows what the effect
of this is; it produces relaxation of the tissues
and general debility.

HOMICIDE IN CECIL COUNTY, MD.-The OK
ford (Pa.) Press says that a horrible ARRAY took
place in Cecil county, Md, along the Uctoran,
a short distance below the Pennsylvania line,
on Monday last. 1t appears that a man named
Thompson Fuller was shot and instantly killed
by Robert Kearney. The affray,it is said, grew
out of a trespass. Fuller and two compa MO rs
being ordered of by kearney, hard words fol-
lowed between him and Fuller. in which the
latter refused to obey the order of Kearney.
KearDey then got gun and followed after
Fuller, when renewal of the wordy combat
was waged, which ended in Kearney deliber-
ately taking aim with the gun and sho )t;r z
Fuller in the face, causing almost instant deat,i.
A ft nd had existed between them for som, time
previous. Kearney was not arrested, but vo =
untsrily went next morning to Rising Sun,
where he gave himself up to the authorities aud
was taken 10 Elkton Jail. The parties were
rather rough characters, and IL is said had been
drinking considerably. Both men are married
ard have families.

TEMPERANCE CRUsApE.-The war against

TEMPERANCE CRUsApg.-The war against
the liquor traffic, now going on in Ohio, and
which the Boston meeting OF clergymen re-
solved to set on foot in Massachusetts, is thus
depicted in letter from Macarthur, Ohio, to
the Cincinnati Gazette, which has several col
umns of similar histories; "The excitement
here is the most intense ever known in or vii
lage, aud the utmost unaninity prevails Among
all classes and religious denominations. The
ladies have started out with the determination
to conquer, and are making great progress.
They are making the rounds of our saloons
daily, and at each one they present the pledge
TO the proprietors to quit the sale of intOxica.-
ing liquors. One of the dealers capitulated
this morning, closed his saloon, and signed
both the personal and dealers pledges.
The remainder of the dealers have
agreed TO quit the business as soon as
they can dispose of their stock on hand.
They are treating the ladies with uniform kind
ness, and at every meeting thank them for their
prayers, and invite them TO return. Tonight
the ladies met in mass meeting at the VI. f..
Church, and, after powerful sermon and
prayers, proceeded to two gambling saloons aud
held prayer meetings. As we write they are
holding, in a saloon close by, one of the best
meetings ever known here. From our Off &c we
can hear the strains OF heavenly music, and the
devoted prayers OF these noble woman. A large
congregation is praying at the NJ. f. Church as
they visit the gamblers. AS every prayer
ascends to heaven from the church the bell
is rung to cheer the praying band" in their
labors.
