II, 1858. is a news paragraph on the sub
ject.
"Our neighbors in Maryland, who now
and then hold conventions for preventing
their slaves running away, might find it
worth while to keep an eye on that por-
ton of the Pennsylvania line near West

ground railroad SO much talked Of takes
a direct course from this city to West
minister. Thursday week Officer Boss as
the agent of owners of certain fugitive
slaves who We're captured in Westmin-
ster, went to that town to obtain them
He found in the prison five who were
identified and their owners Informed. The
agent states that the citizens did all that
they could to assist in the execution of
his duty, and the only obstruction was
caused by the county officers. The re-
turned fugitives were glad enough to get
back. For nine days and nights they
sneaked about in the woods picking up
what they could eat. The conductor of
the underground train got $50 to take
them to Pennsylvania. but he deserted
them four days after starting, merely
pointing the road they should go. Thus
far every effort to obtain a clue to the
person who acted in this capacity has
failed"

Saratoga letters being sent from

from Saratoga, beginning thus:

curiosity or the expectation of meeting

with us. Before each hotel stood numer-
Gus barouches, public and private. The
teams and turnouts generally at Saratoga
are among the best in the country. No
gentleman ventures to bring an indiffer-

the following paragraph on the subject:
AT late meeting of the Merchants

railroad along Pennsylvania avenue from
the navy yard to Georgetown was discuss
ed informally by several of the leading
members. The Idea presented to the men,
bers embraced the petitoning of Congress
for charter granting the right of way

subscription. The Introduction of the sub

decisive action was taken however. but
doubtless it will come up again. The as

Church,

Of August 10. 1859, from conveying an
accurate picture of the building as it
stood for many years:
THE designs and plans for the new
church proposed to be erected on the site
of the venerable Second Presbyterian
Church, at the junction of New York ave-
nue. with H street north have been de-
termined upon and workmen have begun
the work of pulling down the old church
edif1ce. This movement is caused by the
union Of this church congregation with
the congregation of the F Street Presby-
terrain Church CDR. Gurley), the latter con-
gregation having sold their church prop
erty to the Messrs. Willard for about
$4,000, to be used as part of their large
hotel. The two congregations will worship
in the new church under the pastoral
charge of Rev. DR.. Gurley. The new
church is to be 100 feet long by IS wide,
with a clear height of 80 feet from floor
to ceiling and sufficient space on the floor
and the organ gallery to accommodate
800 people.
"The edifice will be surmounted by a
spire 16O feet high. The basement story
under the body of the church will accom-
modate 800, with side rooms for pastor s
study and ladies' sewing room. The
estimated cost is SO, 400, for which
amount Messrs Downer & Bros have
contracted to do the work. which is to be
completed by July l, 1860. The architect
is Mr.. Edwin Habilland.
