Georeztown, August 29, 1855. Agreeable to our anticipations our citizens came up nobly yesterday on behalf of the suf- ferers in the w fever districts. Two hilanthropic gentlemen, W. H and A. ie Pickreit. Eaqs., waited on many of them in person, and received contributions amounting to about $600. This amount, together with the collection at Trinity Church on Sabbath fast, will make about $800; which we feel vatisfied will be inereased to-day to $1,000. The following are the only changes which are likely to be made at the Georgetown Col- lege this year: The Rev. Mr. King has been removed, and the Rov. Geo! Fenwick who was last year in Frederick City, will return again to the Georgetown Colle; This will be good news to the inmates of the College Old George’s (as he is general'y called) free, open, gentlemanly and jocular manners, has long since rendered him a general favorite. There is also quite a general rejoicing at the retention of the Rey. B. A. Maguire as Pres- ident. We beara very general complaint, among the consumers of baker’s bread, that the re- duction of some $2 to $3 per barrel in the price of flour has worked no increase in the size of the loayes. Indeed, many of them look as if they had followed the flour, and decreased in size as it (the flour) decreased in rice, ¥ Tae dutiesof Mrs. Gen, Wheeler’s Academy for young ladies will be resumed on Septem- ber 31. erhis lady has acquired an enviable reputation as an instructor of young females.

We weuld advise some of our citizens, while the yellow fever ix raging near us, to pay a little more attentiur to the cleansing of thir alleys and hog pens, the scent from them sometimes is decidedly worse to inhale than cologne. — mh: Arriyed—Sebrs.

With such unquestionable endorsements, we think that those who are afflicted, and yet fail to try this remedy, deserve to suffer. Capt. Baker is one of our most reliable citizens, and we feel perfectly satisiied that under no circumstances would he recommend the use of his Bitters where he did not think that good would result from so doing.
