Messrs. Joseph Weaver & Co., owners and oc- cupants of the butchers’ market, High street, Georgetown, have addressed a letter to the Commissioners requesting that country people having produce to sell be given permission to stand with their vehicles backed to the curb, the same as in some other markets in the District, with the horses removed from the vehicles and left in the large yard in rear of the market so that their will be no obstruction of the street.

THE MODIFIED PUBLIC SCHOOL-HOUSE PLANS. ‘The modifications recommended by the com- mittee on buildings and repairs of the Board of Public School Trustees have already been made to the plans and specifications for all of the pro- | ere new school buildings by the inspector of ildings, at the request of Mr. Clark, architect of the Capitol, and bids are now being received for their erection, and will be opened Sat- urday at twelve o'clock. The most impor- tant alteration made is in the entrance ways. For the house on 275, the front portico is to be omitted and a recess formed four feet deep in the front of the build- ing. The steam heating is to be omitted, but the hot-air chambers, air ducts and smoke chamber in stacks are to be retained, and con- structed as on original plans. For the house on square 625 the clock tower is to be omitted and the blocking course to continue through. The steam heating is also to be omitted, but the hot-air chambers, air ducts and smoke“ chambers in stacks are to be retained and constructed as on_origi- nal plan. The court yards of both buildings to be paved with the best red paving bricks; and all other exterior paving in specification to be omitted. In the county school buildings, the buildings are to be one, story each in place of two stories. SCARCITY OF WATER. The Commissioners this morning received a note from Mr. E. C. Kirkwood, residing on Cap- itol Hill, complaining that the supply of water in that vicinity is so diminished as to be scarcely sufficient for the neces y uses of the kitchen, and far short of the requisite quantity for clear- ing the lateral sewer pipes, which, in very many cases, run under houses. This state of affairs is a detriment to the sale of property—depreciat- ing its value. VITAL STATISTICS. The total mortality in the District of Colum- bia for the week ending Saturday, Ausust 13, 1881, was 93, (22 less than the week pre- vious,) or at the rate of 26.87 per 1,000 per annum. Of the decedents 23 were white males, 22 white females, 24 colored males and 24 col- ored females, showing an annual death-rate of 19.5 for the white population and 41.6 for the colored. The number of deaths by classes of dis- eases were as follows: Zymotic, 38: constitu- tional, 20; local, 28; developmental, 6, and vio- lence, 1.

Charles L. Hulse, of Washing- ton. D.C. Mr. Hulse had been to Red Bud, Ill, on business, and was on his way west when prostrated by the heat. His baggage had been checked through, and it will be remem! ed there was nothing on his person by which he could be identified. He was kindly cared for by the gentleman mentioned (who had been on the train with him). but did not recover conscious- ness until the 3d instant, and the physicians in attendance were apprehensive of serious men- tal injury, but he is now conyalescing rapidly.” 4 mor Sid Rl iN T A DoG.—The ndria Gazette says that alittle girl nawed aples was accidentally shot at Shiloh, prge county, Va.,on the 10th instant. by Henry Lusby, a boy ten years of age, who lives in this city.’ The boy threatened to shoot a pet dog, which ran to her for protection.

DEATH OF AN OLD RestpeNnt.—Mr. George Harrison, well-known in this city, died at his residence, on M, above Sist street, yesterday morning, after a long illness, aged 77 years.

Penny HiLt.—Superintendent Ballinger has informed the mayor that the corporation burial ground has now become so crowded that no grave can now be dug th coming upon former graves long level with the earth. It is said that over 8,000 people have been buried there. It was purchased in the ear! tion of the present century for free inte: and has been used since that time. The city during late years, has employeda keeper, but for more than half a century it was left without any sort of care. The subject is now under the co sideration of the committee on publie property, and it is probabie that the city will buy another lot, and dispose of the new grayes in rows, sim- ilar to those of the military cemetery. GEN. MAHONE SI ADED.—Gen. Mahone, accompanied by Messrs. Riddleberger and Brady, reached here last night, and were entétained by Mr. D. L. Windsor, at his residence on Came- ron street.

Loxpon, August 18.—Mr. James Caird, the eminent avricuitural anthority., writes to the Times as follows: But for the late rains and di- minished temperature the harvest would have proved eqnal to nearly the average of years pre- ceding 1874; but mildew has appeared, and will affect the quality of the yield of the later crops. On two-thirds of the wheat land an average crop will be made up by fineness of quality. On the remaining third, even with that aid it will be 10 per cent. below the old average. Heavy crops are rare. Most of them are thin, but well headed, and there is a too common evidence shown throughout the country of the diminished capital of farmers by the lower scale of farming. We begin the harvest year very bare of old stock wheat in the country. Our annual requirements are from 24,000,000 to 25,000,000 quarters. When the last harvest. year is completed we shall have imported oyer 16,000,000 quarters. Our own crop this year will probably yield 9,500,000 quarters, 80 that if we can reckon on a foreign ‘supply equal to that of 1880, and at not much over the same price, we shail be safe. There is said to be an abundant harvest in Russia. In France the wheat crop is believed to be scanty. Our barley is the best corn crop of the year, but it has not ripened equally. ts are’ extremely deficient, espe- cially in the southern counties. Hay is fifty per cent deficient, but was generally got in in tine condition. Mangolds and green crops are rap- idly improving and promise a tolerable crop. One of the best features of the season has been fine weather for cleansing the ground in the spring and_early summer, enabling farmers to rid much of their land of the accumulated weeds of previous wet years: but they have been heavily hit by bad seasons and losses of stock and sheep. The stock in Great Britain during the last two years has been diminished by more than twelve per cent, there being a decline of 2,000,000 sheep and 1,000,000 lambs since 1879.

Special Correspondence of Tae EVENING STAR. Ocean Grove, N.J., August 14, 1881. Ocean Grove, the great Methodist watering place on the coast of New Jersey, has changed intone as well as improved in its general ap- pearance and in the comforts of life. The change of tone can be indicated in a tew words. There are not many tenters here now; formerly “the woods were full of them.” The piano has taken the place of the organ as a dispenser of music for hotels and cottages: formerly (I am speak- ing of four years ago) the souad of the piano was not tobe heard in the land. It was too worldly. This does not imply that there is less of the religious element here now than for- merly. The worldly imnovations which haye crept in are due to the deeds and influence of the un- godly who have come to this religious city by the sea to enjoy some ofthequict pleasures of the place along with the righteous. The brethren do not seem to object in the least to the wayfarer who is of the world wordly. In fact, they rather like his coming. He brings money, and the more that come the more-valuable becomes the prop- erty of the good people who have invested here, and the more plentiful are the ducats which tind their way into theircoffers. Perhaps, after all— beyond the mere fact of the observance of re- ligious forms and the repeated visits to the prayer meetings and church goings-in and comings-out—there is not so much difference between those of the world and those of the sanctuary. Ido not find that the hotel keeper is any more accommodating, sets a better table, or is more oblivious to the acquisition of filthy lucre because he has been ordained, or is a pillar of the chureh, or an ex-cireuit rider. On the contrary, I tind that wherever a heathen has been permitted to set himself up in any business here, you can get from him better and more of it for your money than from the elect. The popular theory is that the latter class knows not 80 much of the ways of a bad world as the former. Despite this presumed ignorance on his part and the general look of sanctity which pervades the brother—ordained or otherwise—I would never think of attempting to “take him in”—if T may write a slang phrase almost under the eaves 0! THE TABERNACLE. That same tabernacle is a great institution here. It will seat any number of people. The rest hang round its suburbs, and catch what they can of the services. They hold meetings in the tabernacle all the time; and what strikes me as being a fact worthy of chronicling for future history in the columns of the best newspaper that ever bought itself a finenew building is that these meetings are always wellattended. You will find there the man who sells candy and peanuts onthe corner, the man who takes care of your bathing suit, the man who boards you, and the waiter who waits a long time before he will bring you anything to fill the craving emptiness of | your aldominal cavity. inch about Presi I had been ent Garfield and, pethap: al tetms of Drs.

There Is only an interval of about half an hour be- tween the meetings, but every time there are different ministers conducting them. It takes from three to four ministers to run a meeting.

INTO THE FOAMING BREAKERS. There are quite a number of amusements to be indulged in asthe spirit moves. And the gteatest of these is bathing. The surf is as good as any Neptune'throws, like foaming beer, upon the Atlantic eoast of the createst country on the e of God’s earth. The breakers are bracing and buoyant. The beach is sandy and smooth. The water is almost always warm and welcome in its touch. and the bathing costumes, like the bathers, are curious, and to be counted by thousands. The bathing hours vary h day. the tide governing the hour for the surf, When the bathing is at its height the surf swarms with humanity from the bathing house, at the lower terminus of Ocean Groye, a way up md Asbury Park. It is certainly a sight that po es every quality of interest. If one had not an uncontrollable desire to plunge into the at salt water and swim out in the enjoyment of life, health and strength, the mere act of watching others do it gives a tingle to healthy blood. Very few people, however, watch—no matter how many there may be who pray. The bath- ing is contagious. The church member who rents bathing suits reaps unto himself 1m worldly dross. There is not much style here bathing suits, although there is a good ¢ display—personal display. the most in ‘al of There are sume of HIDEOUS BATHING SUITS in use here that a bungler 1 cloth eyer put | together. There are, too, some very pretty cos- tumes, and some yery pretty ladies in them. Nobody looks well in a bathing suit after itonce gets wet. This explains the reason why so y ladies walk along the beach or recline in fore they take to the briny waves Most people pronoutce the man the better look- ing ina bathing suit. I file a protest. He is by far the worse look Once get his suit wet and the veriest masher that ever sat on a hotel verandah in all the bloom of gay apparel looks athousand per cent more hideous when he come out of the water than the scrawniest Jemale or fattest forty year older that ever emerged from the surf: Perhaps it is unneces- sary to say thatthe masher bathes but seldom—1 mean goes into the surf but at very unfrequent intervals—and thenonly when there are few people on the beach. As long as some people stay at the seaside and as often as they have been here there are comparatively few who know how TO REALLY ENJOY THE ROLLING-IN BREAKERS. They take hold of the life lines near the shore and never let go. The surf breaks right over them, tearing off the cuticle by contact with the ropes, and often making them perform somer- saults, exposing at the time to the eager gaze of thousands a pair of legs of more or less symme- try, surmounted by a pair of feet of greater or less acreage. And still they eall this fun. A somewhat limited number go out further and enjoy the easy rise of the incoming rollers be- fore they break. Thus they not only get the bath of salt and water combined naturally, but haye the exhilaration and glow of pleasure which go with a keen enjoyment of that best of all tonics—salt water bathing. But the best of fan is to him who can swim well. He goes away out, and floats at the will of the unbroken roll- ers, or breasts them with a relish that none but those who. enjoyed the sensation can ever feel. ‘There are a number of ladies who swim well, and who do not fear going far out to enjoy their bath. There be thethree grades of salt water ped one misery, brits enjoyment, and he is y—wne of the greatest pleasur: that God has givent> man. x GOING 4 CRABBING WITH THE GIRLS. A great scheme down here is crabfishing. You don’t catch many orabs, but you have lots of fun. You get a pairiof alleged horses and an alleged stage with ca driver, also allezed. You get six young men ‘and six young ladies—no more, no less. It takes you som to getto Shark river, so called Voce ine aa. no sharks in it. Theresyou hire boats. You have had fun coming dewn, but when the crabbing commences then «the Cireus is open. Did you ever see a young lady wrestling with one of the side-going specimens of shell ? Ifyou have a *y Bay out west, the first chance you have. “They are as eager in pursuit of the crab as a ne' man is after a lece of news—that is, the time comes for ing the the boat. Then comes the howling an such thing in the same boat with a ‘same them for al tbe world HOW A WEST ‘WASHINGTON GIRL CAUGHT 4 CRAB- Russia, have led to a fatal collision between | There was a young Indy in the same boat with me who hailed from West Washington nee spose they have as yet made it | how that young eae par will serve as a de- scription of the whole female gender when it goes a-crabbing. The boat was rather ricketty, bat she persisted in standing up. She threw out her line, and in the course of half an hour a crab “caught on.” Her face lighted up with quick animation... The flush of excitement was on her cheek. “I've got one!” she screamed. “Hush-s-h-h! Don’t say a word! Keep perfectly quiet! You can’t catch ‘em when anybod) talking. There he is! I feel him pulling! here—now! I can see him. mouths! Where's the net? moving tt! How he bites! Now, get the net under him!” All this was said ina voice that could be heard an hundred yards. Frank Wil- liams, of Washington, who was also in the boat, got the net ready and scooped in the crab. Then there was a row. Don’t put him in here claimed the fair maiden of Georgetown. “Oh, how many claws he has got! Tam sure he will biteusall! If you put him in the boat [will jump out, there!” Nothing remains but for Williams to put the crab back into the water. Then we go over the same thing again. The same little circus is going on meanwhile in the other beats. When tired you can go home. There is plenty of fun on the homeward ride. There is plenty of fun everywhere in this world if one only has the inclination and aptitude to “catch on.” A RIDE TO LONG BRANCH isa very pretty thing from here. It is very pretty indeed, and much prettier when there is a young lady in the vehicle with you. You go over the beach road, which is well kept. The sea air is bracing, not only to companion and self, but to the animal over whose back you are drawing the reins. If you should take the new part of northwest Washington and string it out upon a stretch of beach you would see some- thing very much like Long Branch. The curi- ous Greiiteotare of thecottages of Long Branch and the residences of that part of Washington mentioned is very similar. The effect of both is novel, at times startling, but always pleasing.” Hoey’s magnificent gardens are still open to the public. They have not been destroyed by the army worm. For three years in succession before coming here I have read of the total de- struction of these gardens by the army worm, only to find them unharmed and more beautiful than ever. Long Branch, like Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, which are almost the same place, are doing remarkably well this year. They always do well, but thisyear they are prospering beyond precedent. Long Branch is doing a big excursion business. Ocean Grove is having a good deal of the same kind of money securing business. NOISY YOUNGSTERS FROM WASHINGTON. There is a Washington crowd at the hotel where I have a tri-urnal fight with the waiters for something to eat. There are also a good many “anco gude” people there. A crowd of Wash- ington young men make things extremely | lively for the “uneo gude.” The latter have | complained to the proprietors, but the young- sters cannot be sat down upon. Like the tra- ditional ghost of the late lamented Banquo they | Will not down. They even have the hardihood to dance and sing in Ocean Grove, and that too, after ten o'clock. The very good folks hold up their hands in horror, and do much talking. 1 suppose the crowd from Washington could not be matched anywhere on the globe for fun, good spirits and buoyant health. Lake. of the Columbia boat club, is one of the ringleadars. We told Lake that he was getting on in years, but he would not listen to it. But I noticed je’s. Don't open your Don't make a noise ex- that to-day he cut off his beard. That tends to make him look a few years younger. The clerk of the hotel—John J. Ter- hune, of New York—is but little better than the mob of young spirits. He ezzs them on, and at night is especially anxious for the fun to never cease a moment. He is an excellent clerk, and manages the rooms and other business of the office with much tact and skill. The young ladies about the hotel are quite pretty, and in a more subdued manner keep pace with the Washington mob of young men. A JERSEY BLONDE. There fs one young lady here especially—a blonde—from New Jersey. She is not only pretty and witty, but has a head stored with useful | knowledge. She will talk with you on any sub- ject from the beginner's primer to Huxley's writings and lectures. In addition to this she dresses well. She dresses remarkably well, and with taste in every bov@and tie. It is noticed this year that there is more dressing than ever before at Ocean Groye. The old blue suits for ladies and flannel shirts for men are things of the past. The practice of putting on bathing suits and walking three or four squares to the beach will also be soon ready for a tombstone in the cemetery of obsolete customs. In fact, Ocean Grove is beginning “to sling a little style.” FLETCHER. ——____+e-.—____— Washington Grove Camp Meeting. THE SERV YESTERDAY—A RATHER DULL DAY—COOL WEATHER August 17th, ist To-day has been an exceedingly dull one in camp, nothing of interest having occurred out- side of the regular service. A few joined the excursionists from Rockville to Harper's Ferry, while those that remained pretty generally at- tended the services. THE WEATHER here during the day is zhtfal, but after the sun goes down the evenings are chilly, and it is not unusual to see overcoats and shawls worn by those that attend the evening services. and the regular supply of winter bedding is always in demand. The photographers, of whom there are several. are kept pretty busy, especially on the days that country people come her furnish all the trade, for many of our city belles have had just ov en as a memento of the exunp of "81. The weather is advantageous to the country young man beau—it is too cold for eeream. Camp mecting is generally a gre: e for watermelons, but the demand this year is small. The 8:30 a. m. service this morning was led by Mr. J. W. Wade, of McKendree Church, and w: avery interestingand profitable meeting to those who took part therein. At 10:30 the Rev. Mr. Hi of Union Chapel, preached from Galatians yi., 14: “But God for- d that [should glory,” &c. The sermon was one that has seldom been equalled for clearness and depth of thought. At 2 p.m. a children’s meeting was held in the tabernacle, and was led by Rey. H. 8. France. The little ones were out in force to show by their presence that they disapproved of their mecting eing merged in with the young people's mee ing. The regular three-o’clock meeting was not held to-day, but in lieu thereof, at 3:30 o'clock, a young people's meeting was held in a large mee ing tent on 6th avenue. This also was in charge of Rey. H. 8. France. Remarks were made by Al. Holland, Mrs. Cohen, Rev. W. W. Van Ars- dale and many others. Several rose for prayer, thereby si; ‘ing their desire to become Chris- tians. At 7:30. large congregation gathered in the tabernacle to attend the evening service. Rev. Ss. M. Halslip, of Spencerville cirenit, preached ‘om Luke xiii, 6-9, the subject being’ the para- ble of the fig tree. the sermon Rev. Mr. France delivered a powerful exhortation. Two responded to the invitation to come forward, neither of whom, however, professed conversion. Mr. Robert Rickets and family left camp this morning. The arrivals from the city were fewer to-day than usual. Rev. J. H. Smith and family came on the evening train. snr Snort mm Bep.—A farmer named D. Drue, living in Washington county, II while sleeping on a near the door of his house, was awakened Monday night ehees discharge of a gun, and as he raised up in to ascertain the cause, received a charge of shot in the head.
