WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Fairfield, Me. says, in a letter recently received: “It ives ne pleasure to speak from personal Knowledge ofthe wonderful cure, by the use of AYER'S Sarne- Parilla, of a bed humor ins child eleven years old. ‘The child’s hands, arms, feetand legs were covered With blotches and scabs, resisting sll local applica- tions. Verysoon after taking AYER'S Sarsaparilla ‘the humor disappeared, the cure being complete. As ‘blood puritier I consider that AYER’3 Stands atthe head of the whole cataloxue of such preparations, especially when used in connection with AYER'S Pills.” “There can be no question asto the superiority of AYER’S Sarsaparilla over all other blood purifiers.

Canal Arrivals and Departures—Many Local Paragraphs of Interest—U. S. Mail Burned—Other Notes. Georgetown people, those of the middle section principally, say they are tired of having their water supply experimented with. One day they are provided with force and volume enough to put out a fire and the next they are unable to fill their bath tubs. In the first case it was found they were on the high service, in the next on the low. Not since the Georgetown sta- tion was shut down have the people been Satisfied with their water service. They want the old condition of things revived. At present there are two large church or- gans that must either have their power changed or remain silent. Under the pres- ent iow pressure the organs cannot be run. The supply south of Prospect street is not affected at all by either the high or low pressure, as the water is forced : ea the plpes by gravity. This lower section derives its water direct from the distrib- uting reservoir, Canal News. Boats arrived yesterday by way of the canal as follows: E. Pratt, Capt. J. Ma- gruder; F. Flanagan, Capt. J.

A numberof the members of the Andrew Jacksdn Lodge and many friends of the deceased~ from Washington, Alexandria county an@ this city attended the remains to the grave. The mayor has suspended Officer James McCuen of the police force for thirty days on account of the shooting of Officer Crump by Officer McCuen while asleep. The mayor announced that on the part of policemen while on duty would be con- sidered hereafter cause for dismissal. Offi- cer Crump is still suffering from the ef- fect of the wound given him by Officer Mc- Cuen, but it is thought amputation will not be needed, though it may be that the cer is lamed for life. The committee on streets will, it is un- derstood, report at the next meeting of the city council a bill requiring the rallroad companies using streets here, to put up automatie gates at the intersections. So much difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a competent city treasurer who will serve at the salary fixed, give the bond, that Mr. M. B. Harlow will consent to retake the office which he re- signed some time ago, and Judge Norton will reappoint him to that position. The mail car on a Manassas train, which stopped here en route for Washing- ton yesterday, was found to be on fire, but was quickly extinguished without damage. Some Washingtonians have bought the little schooner May Queen, belonging to ir. G. W. Petty of this city. It 1s said that Prendergast, who kill- ed Mayor Harrison of Chicago, is a relative of a telegraph operator who died here some time ago. The remains of the suicide, “E. L. G.,” found near Cameron crossing not having been identified, were buried this afternoon; the articles found on the body wiil be kept for identification. There geems to be no doubt that the young man who took his own life came here from Washington in the early part of last week, and killed himself last Tuesday we day at the place where his found. ai ae Preparations are made here many — people to observe Hallow Eve to- night. An alarm of fire called out the engines about 9 o'clock this morning. It was oc- casioned by the explosion of an oll stove which children overturned at the house of August Ohlert on Fairfax street.
