have on hand the old ST. George Chapel
Souvenir Spoon.
The ruins OF old ST. George Chapel are 1t
miles from Charles Town and an object Of in
ierest. The Chapel is supposed to have been
erected as early as l750-probably as late as
l76O. 1t is mentioned in denning's Statutes
at Large as one of the Chapels more costly
than many Others. The site. which is on the
lands of Col. II. b. Davenport is supposed TO
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. 1t is sup
posed TO have been more elegant, hence more
costly. than others. because IL was located near
where many wealthy Church-of- England peo-
pie lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magnifcence
of their houses of worship. At any rate, the
present ruin was ohce grand IN it's time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed to have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet
lead the window and door frames Of cedar
wood the floor in thing; the peys anc pull
pit in oak-elaborately carved. The SOFT
grey old walls in summer time are iyy-hung-
but the Chapel as pictured in the bowl of the
spoon. is a winter scene-thc venerable pile
surrounded by leahess trees and the graves Of
the olden-time covered with the beautiful
snow" For sale BY.

THE retrenchmentS ordered by
the council yesterday foot up in
round numbers 100000 a year,
of which amount $24,SOO will be
permanent, the other being the
temporary retrenchment from
suspension of street work. This
will go some short way in re-
facilitating the city treasury, but
it is understood that this whole
sale stopping of street work is only
temporary, and that work will be
resumed as soon as the state of the
city's finances warrant it. 1t is a
little hard on the men who have
depended on city employment for
their bread to be cut off in an hour,
but the city must be just before it
is generous, and debts accumulat-
ing can only be paid by replenish-
ing the city treasury, and to this
expenses must be reduced where
ever practicable. The incoming
council are not responsible for this
condition of the city treasury.
