similar was the heart's song of many of j
Scotia's sats who witnessed in Guderich
on Friday last, one ut the grandest series
of Caledonian games ever offered to an I
enthusiastic and admiring assemblage'
of spectators. The day was all that
could be desired, with the exception that

Washington, .luly 4th, 188;.
More than usual public interest attach-
ed to the trial in this city, of a Ammeter
of the gospel, for alleged unmoral owe
duct, becaase the President's pastor is
connected with the CAae, in Lae capacity
of couuwl for the mete defendant, and
lite city nesspat.ers are daily tilled with
columns ut the ec.denoe ; this ease was
besought from the htsturtcal plan. of
Bull Run. I don't believe the preacher
is guilty, as the only positive proof
against him is that of an ignwant color-
ed man, who cannot identify the other
party to lbs offence if there wee une.
Vu the morning of July 1, the work
of boring the Washington tunnel, ut the
new reservoir, through the hills north
of Washington was completed. This
subterranean aqueduct extends frcm the
river west ut Georgetown about 210011
feet, the construction of which was be-
gun six years ago. Another improve-
ment just consummated in Washington
has au interest for the general public.

have been added at a cost of 1150,000.
and thew bas been perfected one of the
most esssplete refrigerating and mild
storage eetabhsamsuts in existence.
The principal agent employed in itis
promise of extracting best from the
storage rooms is the use of anhydrous
ammonia. A Coriiss engine and six
miles of cold pipes which convey the -
ammonia vapor and cold brine to the
different apartments complete the work-
ing app.retuk Many are the uses no
which this dry, cold air can be applied.
The transportation of fruits, vegetables,
meat and a.h from distant points is al-
ready acr.emplisbed. By this new ap-
plication and perfection of the system,
preservation of the same is assured,
and great advantage will accrue, in au
muuh as consumers and dealers will be
benefited by the more uniform rates of
produce and the Iris likelihood uf the
fluctuation of price" in table supplier.
The danger that may arise is that by
thew moans Wall street methods may be
introduced and gambling extend to the
handling of garden truck as it already
extends too broad stuffs. Souse scheming
produce dealers may secure a "corner,.
in • cold warehouse and peck it with
tomatoes or onions, and demand any
price when the other dealers are short
of supply nudes manipulate the market.
The tieersary of the Interior has ap-
proved of the issue by the Commissioner
of the Patents of a statement concerning
the deficiency in the accounts of the late
Levi Bacon, financial clerk of the Patent

then is an apparent spoortage of $33,000.
