Lower Cedar Point.

There is no more attractive place on the
Potomac this summer than Lower Cedar
Point, and, judging from the large patron
age 1t is daily receiving, 1t is safe to say
that the public are fully acquainted with
the fact. Mr.. Davis, the superintendent,
has been and still is unremitting In his
efforts TO have the resort meet every
reasonable demand his patrons could fairly
make, and there has been so complete a
transformation at the Point as TO make it
scarcely recognizable to the old visitors.
Everything is first class in all the appoint
teous proprietor as can now be found there,
Lower Cedar Point Is bound TO be one OF
the best patronized resorts on the river.

an adverse report to be made on the Ran
dali tariff bill. Mr.. Kelley moved to strike
the bill (the Hewitt provisions), but this
motion was lost, although Mr. Hewitt voted
with the Republicans. Messrs. Reed and
Hiscock were absent. A motion was then
made to report the entire bill adversely,
and upon the roll being called all OF the
Democrats voted in the affirmative, carry
ing the motion. The Republican members
abstained from voting, on the ground that
the bill contained meritorious features,
along with Objectionable provisions, which
could not be disassociated under the motion.
Mr.. Morrison will prepare the adverse re-
port on the bill, while the Republicans will
not make report.
