CANAL NoTEs.-Business upou the canal
still continues very dull; indeed nothing is
being done except that few grain boats oc-
casiOnalIy arrive. The water all along the
line is very low In consequence of leaks, one
especially at Lock No 6. Some coal boats
that loaded at Cumberland last week. are
stopped by mud this time, and not by the
strikers.
A TERRIBLE TIME.-About midnight last
night the residents in the vicinity OF the cor
ner of Bridge and Green streets. were awak-
enod by loud cries of - NJ urder," Help" &c ID,
aud many rushed out To learn the cause OF
the trouble, and found a colorei woman with
a sheet wrapped about her head, suffering
with the tOOthache.

FoRTY-FOUR YEARS AGO the writer of
this paragraph pulled by the roots from the
banks OF creek in Maryland young syca-
more tree about five feet in height and of
the thickness of his finger. Ii was as straight
as an arrow, and so pleased its pOsseSSOr
that he resolved to replant 1t in a more de
sirable location, which he did. IL grew
tbriftily, and a few days ago q measure
ment OF its trunk showed its circumference
TO be eight feet six inches. 1t Is now q SUI
peTb tree, the admiration of all who see it,
and 10 It's planter a source of ineXpressible
pleasure. So far as the outlay of time or
money was concerned, we might as well
have planted fifty or a hundred trees at the
time, ard had that been done what treat il
would be to look at them.
Why should not every farmer and every
farmers son make 1t a rule to plant at least
one tree every year? Why should not
farmers wives and daughters plant peach
or cherry pit or an apple seed or two every
year? The trees that would grow from them
might OF prod nee good Iruit, and then again
Ii Is possible always that a seeding would be
the result. which, as has frequently been the
case. would be a fortune to It's originator.
a all events, new trees would be added to
those already in existence. If The fruit was
rot OF good quality the young trees could be
budded or grated, and thus another add
be made 10 the valuable products of the
country. Fruit would become more abun-
dant, less meat would be needed and the
general heath OF the country promoted

A LIE XA " d RIA.

THE CHARIOT LINE.-The plan for the
establishment OF chariot line on King street.
10 run in connection with the Potomac ferry
steamers. will be adopted or rejected at The
meeting of the directors Of the Washington
Chariot company to be held early next
month. Should il he adopted the fare for a
trip from Georgetown to Ibis city an return
will be only fifteen cents, includ ing boat fare
for the chariOtS will be transported on the
bo ats, and passengers need not leave their
seats in them unless they want to. In this
connection II may be stated that as soon rs
the Potomac Ferry company can purchase a
suitable boat. and they have their agents on
the lookout for one, they viii pat her on the
line be tween this city and Washington. TO
run from the hour at which their DAY bpa',
stop running until twelve O'Clock at night
making hourly trips from each city. This
viii he a great convenience to citizens OF
both places and will doubtless meet with an
ample reward.
RIVER SpoETs.-Several parties from this
city are now down the river on fishing and
Grabbing expeditions, and every day mum
erUUs persons make short trips down, intent
on the same sport. The fish are not plenti-
they come much hi CHER up the river. A gen
tleman who returned last night from the
Bachelors camp at Indian Head reports that
himself and two others caught between
ninety and one hundred crabs in short
time. Crabs are also noticed as high up a.
Sandy Bar, just below this city, some having
been caught there on Wednesday last.
COMMENCED EARLY.-A quarrel took
place on Pitt street, in the rear of the jail
last night, between a small white boy named
Eddie Franklin and two cOlOred boys named
Ed. Robertson and Abraham MOrten, in the
course of which one of the cOlored boys drew
knife ard handed il to the other. who, in
accordance with the practice of his race,
used il 10 cut the white lad, inficting several
cuts on his arm. The boys were arrested
but being too young to send TO jail, and there
being no house OF correction, the mayor had
to discharge them, with the promise on the
part of their parents to punish them severely
NEW DROVE YARD The question of eS-
tablishing a new drove yard aud cattle
scales somewhere near Colcross is being agi-
tated by several of the cattle men a1d
butchers OF this city. IL is claimed that If
the city would put up scales it could realize
very handsome revenue therefrOm, and in

Editor SGr:-There have been a great many
complaints from clerks in your paper at diff
ferent times, that get SlO0 per month, such
as the one found In your valuable paper of

how the wOrkingman lives, that gets from 70
cents to 81 80 day, and sometimes has a

state OF affairs with the working class,
think il would be better TO discuss some
means for their employment this coming
winter, than TO use SO much printers ink In
discussing how the clerk can live on 300 per
month. For next year this time you will
still find him living on his salary, while the
poor nan may be starving for the want OF
employment. Let us near from the working
class. Yours, respectfully,
