EAST WASHINGTON NOTES.
FarDAY, June 9, 1882.

FRIDAY, june y, loozs
Mr. EDrroR,-Dssr Sir:-1 was par
ticularly charmed" on Saturday morn
ing last to behold for the first time.
your interesting paper, The Bee. and l
cannot express the deep and satisfactory
satisfaction which it gave ms 10 learn
through your active and energetic agent
that THE BEE would not like several
other journals, wholly ignore the peo-
pie of our section. IL you intend to
keep your eye on Capital Hill and
faithful record of the events taking
place here from time to time, why OF
course, our people will "bee" with you
in the sixth hour, and in the eleventh
they will not forsake YOU. The BEE
has been buzzing around rather lively
during the past week, and the indica-
tions are that you will have received
ere three weeks will have rolled by,
the recognition of every inteliigent
body and gentleman in East Washing
ton.
Our esteemed fellow citizen, MIR.
Francis Over, is erecting handsome
brick house on First street, which Will
soon be ready for occupancy. Miss
Anna Over is residing with her brother,
@. H. T. Oser, Esq, who owns a hand
some residence on the corner OF 10Th
and B streets, 8. E., as well ss pretty
little wife and child to make his life
pleasant. wish I was married and
happy.
Miss M. A. Hatton the incarnation of
innocent mischievousness aud life, con-
templates trip to one of the fashion,
able resorts during the summer months,
for the benefit~of her health, the little
"creatur" has worked hard and faith
fully all winter, teaching .he young idea
how to shoot, and needs rest for her
weary soul.
The debt on Israel @. M. E. Church,
corner First and b. streets 8. w. is
5000, which includes principal and
interest. I have heard some talk of
concert by the choir, for the benefit OF
the church, but there does not seem to
be any disposition manifested to give
one. It is an excellent choir, and /
should be glad to hear it get rid OF
some OF its superAuous wind.
The good people of Ebenezer are, or
have been until quite recently, holding
series of revival meetings, AMI with
satisfactory results, Rev. Mr.. Steele
has entrenched himself in the hearts
of his people, and is without doubt,
the right man in the right place.
Mrs. Lydia Leak returned on Satur-
day last, from a trip to Norfolk, Va,
where she went as a delegate to the
convention of beneficial society held
there.
The firm of Jacobs & Go. have for
some reason suspended, and the boys
are puzzling their brains to know what
they shall do about it. Serves 'em right.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, told q
gentleman quite recently, that it took
nearly all his salary to live in Washing
ton and support his family; he has
fourteen or fifteen children, so l am
told. He lives in Grant Row, IN East
CAPITOL street.
Lincoln Park, at the head of East
Capitol street, is the favorite resort of
our young folks, during the hot summer
season. It is we'll supplied with beauti-
full shade trees, and is not infested with
tramps.
Rev. W. T. Thomas, pastor of Grand
Church, will preach tomorrow evening,
at Hillsdale, in the church of the Rev.
Mr. Mitchell.
The choir of Ebenezer has received
the services of q son of Rev. DIR.
Saaton as their organist. and we of this
section may expect to hear snme
heavenly strains. Little Miss Dode
played excellently we'll, but [ think
that horid organ was too much for the
dear child to control.
The Misses Dorsey, of Springfield,
Mass who live with their mother on
South Carolina avenue, are two very
intelligent and industrious young
ladies. They are skillsdin all branches
of fancy needlework. and have estab-
Iished quite little tra.le for them
selves. What pity there are no open
ings for our young women of talent.
Have l not said quite enough of our
people and our section, Mr. E,litor
I think so. BEATRICE DEMoLYNEAUx.
