LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Oax Hitt Cemetery, Gzorcetowx.—Per- baps there {x not a finer natural site fora rural cemetery in the country than that of Oak Hill, Georgetown. It has a wealth of majestic forest | trees; is diversified —— jue inequalities of | surface and swelling slopes of the richest green ; commands some exquisite views of the surround- ing country, and has that clearest and most fal of streams, Rock creek, winding at its ‘ and ever murmuring a gentle requiem for the dead. This property was purchased in the year 1349, by William Corcoran, Esq_, for the sum of 33, He. no doubt, seeing how beautifally natore had —— a oo fora cet ex the sum of $50,000 in improving it and further beautifying with walks and enclosing witha rds hands now te laced it inthe of four trustees, who ve the entire control of the nds. These trustees are elected annually, their business is to see that the place is kept in repair, and to sell the lots. W hoever buys a lot obtains a deed of title, and pater it were, a stockholder in the ceme- tery. money greand is invested nded in repairing and ifying the ‘Grounds. Fie total number of lot owners up to the present time is about 400. The lots are taken up almost as fast as the unfinished portion of the grounds is | prepared for occupation, and the amount of money invested since 1861 inthe purchase of lots exceeds $25,000. When all the lots shall have been taken the amount of stock will exceed $200,000. More than $100,000 has been expended by lot holders in slabs, monuments, the construction of tombs, &c., since 1551. More than $50,000 worth | of marble slabs are already ordered, and will be set this summer. Some of these monuments are of the most ex- quisitely beautifnl workmanship, and have been brought from a great distance by those who have had occasion for their use. Ona beautiful cleva- tion in the southeastern portion of the grounds is the resting place of Baron Bodisco, the late Rus- sian Minister to the United States. Mr. Corcoran as a site near the centre of the grounds and front- ing immediately on Rock Creek. He is about to construct an octagonal tomb on this site, the en- tire cost of which will be in the neighborhood of $20,000. It is to be 19 feet broad and 17 feet in depth, and the entrance will be by an area, with winding steps. The marble for the tomb has been eut in Italy, and is of the purest material. Tbe granite for the foundation and area walls comes from the Occoquan quarries onthe Potomac shores. The annual expense of keeping this cemetery in repair does not exceed $6,000 *erhe work gives employment to five or six regular hands. A portion of the ground yet remains to be terraced and sodded. but it is contemplated to have the entire grounds ready fur occupation during this summer. A beautiful Gothic chapel stands contiguous to the entrance, where the coffin is deposited forthe jast ceremony to the dead, and from whence it is afterwards taken by the sexton and deposited in the grave During the week days the public all have access to the grounds, but Sunday is set apart for the benefit of those who have friends and relatives re- posing in the great sleep, beneath the shadows of the overhanging trees. Then the langhing, gay world must give place to the tender requirements of grief, and the mourner is left to quiet commu- nion with the dead. Visitors tothis cemetery find in Mr. Blandon, the sexton, # most obliging and intelligent officer, throug h whose courtesies and fund of information the satisfaction of a visit is much enhanced.

Yesterday afternoon, the steamer James Guy ‘went up to the western draw of the Long Bridge | fo remove, if possible, the sunken canal boat, which has obstructed the passage of vessels for the past three days. She hitched on to the stern of the boat, which was out of water, and puiied her apart amidship, oe the remainder of the boat in its old position. ‘The half that was pulled away floated down the river, and went ashore near Long Point, some 3 miles below. There is now no difficulty for large vessels in passing through the draw. The repairs on the Canal in the by serps of the city are progressing rapidly under the direction of the Canal Board. That portion of the Canal is being cleaned out from the Basin to the point at Easby’s wharf, so as to give a depth of 6 feet water for the ¢ of coal and other canal boats to the Washington wharves. ‘The repairs of the culvert at Mason's ford, above Georgetown, were — yesterday evening, and the water let into the canal. The long string of coal boats which have been kept back by the repairs will arrive at Georgetown this afternoon. Atthe western wharf of Messrs.

Tur Moxument Sociery.—An adjourned meeting of the Board of Managers of the Wash- ington Monument Society was held at the room of the Secretary yesterday afternoon, at 5 o’clock p. ™.; present, Messrs. Filis, M: ler, Knight, Bradley. McCalla, and AtLee, (the Secretary.) Pirst Vice President Ellis presided. The reporters were, on motion of Mr Bradley, again ejected; an ee! -skinning process they are getting used to. = 4 yor Magruder made a forcible speech show- ing the impolicy of keeping the transactions of the Board veiled from the people of the country, but it was no go; and the reporters retired with that tranquil equanimity which distinguishes the fratemity. From the wordy pother which ensued in the room just vacated by the reporter it would seem that the irate mai ‘rs commenced a pell mell attack upon the Secretary of the Board, which did not, however quite annihilate that gentleman, who oe from the room afterwards with his full complement of limbs During the wordy melee, Mr. Craig let the largest-sized Grimaikin out of the . in admit- ting that himself and Gen. McCaila originated the call for the meeting to look up the affairs of the Secretary, and that Gen. McCalla entered upon it with “great alacrity.* The resolution of Mr. Bradley for the appoint- ment of a committee of three persons, outside of the present or late Board of Managers, to investi- gate the affairs of the Board, was passed, with an adroit amendment by the mover, whereby the in- vestigation is carried back to February 22, 1853, instead of to 1855, as in the resolution as first of- fered: and Messrs. Wm. Selden, R. Farnham and —— Adams were appointed on the committee. The monument remains unfinished. Tue Tueatre Watts, on E street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, still continue to rock life.

Suit, in Prince George county, Md..and though advertised one year in the papers, and a reward of $20 offered. no tidings of him was obtained till within two weeks. Mr. M. Carroll, of Maryland, took up an estray horse on his premises and advertised Lue. The description answered that of the stolen horse so well, that Mr. Suit sent his son to identify the animal and claim him, but another person had been there, paid charges, sworn to the horse as his | ke soph § Tamas taken him away. Suit traced his horse to the centre market in this city, and yesterday found him in the possession of Mr. Cammack, collector. The parties went to Justice Goddard's office, and there it was decided that Suit should take the horse and give security that he would bring him } efore the Justice on Saturday at 11 o'clock, when a further examination of the facts of the case will be bad, and those persons who owned the horse after Suit and prior to Cammack, will be sum- moned and required to give information how each one obtained possession.

That no blame whatever ean attach to the Wide Awake or her commander for the accident, we are prepared to prove by some of the very best witness- es, nautical men and pilots, who were on board the steamer at the time it occurred. It was purely the. result of the injudicious conduct of the captains of the canal boats—the one in forsaking his boat as we were making the Draw, and the other in suddenly changing, at the suguestion of the fleeing captain, the Inrge’ rudder of his boat, which completely, suddenly, took all control, so far as the steerin concerned, out of bes hands ; and thns the unfortu- nate affair was brought to pass. So far as the obstruction to navigation at this point is concerned, the Reporters are just as mach at fault as in the other particular, and him of the Alexandria Gazette seems to be trying to out-herod Herod. We understand his drift—a carrying out of his old pique Ainst Georgetown. But the object of those of Washington we cannot understand.
