Humble Young Man and His Helper" Rev. J.
being that interesting country, Japan" and
Hugh I. Taggart, ESQ.,, Of Georgetown, the
third and last his subject being .'Old George
town." As Mr.. Taggart has long been regarded
as an authority on the West Ends early history

THE RIVER RISING LITTLE.
Tho warm rains that have been falling the
past two days around Williamsport have
swollen the Potomac five feet, and wherever a
stream empties the ice is made the river bed,
causing it to soften, break up and promote anx-
iety. Those who have spent their lives on the
Potomac's front, though, still contend there is
no danger Of food. 1t is said that rise of
five feet at Williamsport raises the water but
three or four inches at Georgetown.
