LA-IP EXPLosIoN.-Last evening about
: ~ o'clock coal oil lamp exploded in the
honse OF a colored man by the name of
Frank Craig, in Congress street aIley-in
The rear of Bridge street. Police officers and
OlECEs at hand promptly put ont the fire, no
damage having been done except the burn
Ing ola few bedclo;hes. No alarm was turned
in.
PUBLIC SCHOOL ENTERTATHNENT-Th
entertainment given by the secondary, IN
termedlate and grammar schools, Of this
city, yesterday afternoon, at their closing
exercises, was unusually interesting. All
the exercises showed the GEORGETOWN schools
equal TO the best. But why is 1t the GEORGE
town grammar schools did not compete FOR
the spelling medals.
RELIGIOUS NoTEs.-The new pastor 10
Christ church, the Rev. Albert r. Stuart,
frQm ChtllicOthe, Ohio, (St. Paups parish. IL
VIII ofdciate there tomorrow. A series OF
sermons is being preached at the Dunbarton
Richard Norris TO young men.
CLEARING THE CHASNEL.-Our informa-
ton IN regard TO the work OF clearing the
channel, opposite the fish wharf, being fin
lshed, was Incorrect. The removal further
down the river was only temporary. Oaly
a depth OF II feet has been attained at the
first FAMED place. Twenty feet is 10 be the
depth when completed.
THE POTOMAC YACHT CLUB met at the
Morgan house last night, and the constitu-
ZION ana laws were adopted, and several
new members elected. The club leaves this
aiternoon Tor trip down the river ON their
GRAIN-Boat II. NJ. Talbot, with 3. $40
bushels corn, consigned To II. N. Talbot.
CANAL.-The water will Dot be turned of
the canal this evening, as was thought, to
complete the connection with the outlet
lock, there being too many boats on this
level.
BRIDGE WANTED.-When is the bridge
across the canal, at the foot OF Potomac
street, 10 be rebuilt? It's absence is serious
inconvenience.
