Bible Readings.

These readings, SO much blessed and so profitable
in other cities, and especially SO in England, are
to be given in the parloTs OF the Young Mems
Christian Association each Sabbath afternoon, in
place Of the usual Lincoln hall services. No
more pleasant profitable services are held than
these Bible readings. lIurlng the extensive tour

doubt, he appreciated in this city. The idea of
theEe readings is to take up the topic and find all

meetings are calculated to do great good, and IN
fact the very thing that will lead the people to
the more Intelligent study of the Word Of God.

attack Of cramps and suffering terrible pains.
The man was white as a sheet, and had the ap-

that he had been drinking very freely Of ice-
water and was satisfied that his sickness resulted
from 1t. Station keeper Frank McUathran ap-
piled some remedies that fortunately were on

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.
Tonnage for the Past MOnth-A Break in the
Embankment.


For the past month the number Of boats leaving
Cumberland, Md, by way Of the canal was ,Ojl
carrying coal amounting TO l2O,7:1 tons. This is
the heaviest tonnage for any month in the history
Of the caral. There were a large number oi
coats left there in May, l>7l, but they were not
so heavily laden. Fityeight boats left this same
port with coal on Tuesday being the greatest
number ever dispatched in one day.
Yesterday the water was drawn Off from the
Georgetown level of the canal on account Of 4
break which was discovered in the enbank nent
near WeIch's mill, and hich is supposed to have
been caused by rats. Work has been entirely
SUSPENDED at the coal WbarVes and at all the
mills, and It is expected that It will require all
tO-daytO repair tEe damage 1t is very fortunate
that the break occurred in the day time, as lJ en-
abled the discovery TO he made 10 time to prevent
the water from obtaining any considerable head
way. The embankment for a considerable space
at the point named is very narrow, aud Of very
frail nature. The milIeTs aud other business mel
along the line Of the canal are eSlspsrated at
these frequent breakg and consequent Interrupt
tion Of business, when walls of masonry ersetef
at the weak points. at least within the extensive
districts, would prevent all trouble.

RAILROAD TAXES.

from T8xationl

Is tle Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Exempt
from Taxation!
Tie attorneys of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company yesterday obtained in the Equity
Court, Judge Wyle, temporary injunction to
restrain the lax sale Of certain lots of the COM
pany for taxes due the District Of Columbia for
the years from 1854 to 1878, and amounting to
ST7,7:N.i2 The company claim that Congress
adOpted the acts of Assembly of Maryland. which
made the property of the company exempt from
taxes, and that this right Of exemption has been
recognized by the courts Of tile District, which in
1865 epjoined the collectors from collecting taxes
on the railroad property. They admit that some
Of the taxes for which levy is made accrued pre-
viOus to the time when the company acquired title
to the property, and ask the Judgment of the
court as to whether their exemption does not
cover these taxes also.
judge Wylle made q preliminary order, re-
straining the collection OF such taxes as was
Hssessed on property since the railroad company
acquired ttIe but refused to interfere in any way
with the collection of taxes accruing anteeedent
to that time. The Injunction remains I'm force
until the 18th inst. only, when the case will be
heard in full.

gcstiOns touching the Washington National

terchange of ideas as to the best way In which
aid and encouragement can be given to society in

there is not a person in the District but that
