V'c left Concord on July the I -1th for New York. We (I mean myself ami Letter half) arrived in Washing ton on the 15 th at 9 a. m. We stop ped here two days looking at the sights of Uncle Sam's big capital. We went to the capitol building and looked all through it and spent sev eral hours in the Senate chamber; heard some strong debating on the western land question: did not know any of the debators. We tlieu took ' a drive !o the While House and had a look rouiui lo see now xiievuo things there. We took, in the r.ational museum, Smithsonian -Institute, Corcoran Hall, Agricultural Hall and Wash ington's monument; took a ride up the elevator to the top and had a good view of the city and the grand old Potomac river. We then went to the Baltimore & Potomac depot and paw the exact spot where President Garfield fell when shot on July 2nd, li-'Sl. Im bedded in the iloor is a gold star just where his head struck, and against the wall is a marble Lusf of Garfield and an account of his assasi nation. We boarded t he train here for Philadelphia and arrived there in three hours. We stowed there oi.e day and night and visited many places of interest. From there we weni to New Yovk City. To say that we saw all the sight. in that ran.d old city would be say ing a good deal; but rest assured we saw the many of them. The graini est siirht to see was the burning of the Western Union TelegrnphTjuild- whieli was just acros-s the street from the hotel where we were stop ping.

Put just when they. were about to give up in di--pair there was a" loud report, and up high the air could bo seen a small thread living which fell across the building. "Alas they are saved was the cry of the multitude below!'' A rocket had been shot with a small thread which was fastt ned to a rope, which was soon pulled UP by the prisoners on top, and in Lss time than it takes t tell it there was a brave fireman on the top of the building and cut open the door to the lire escape.

Mrs. Dicey McGovgm, wife of Mr. Guilford McGowan, residing about n miles from Greenville, committed suicide, it is supposed, on last Thursday. It seemed thai she sent her step daughter off and immedi ately after her departure she went to an old well standing in the yard, pulle.i off her shoes and deliberately jumped in. The well was about twenty feet deep. She was found drowned shortly after and taken out. Her remains were interred in the family burial ground on Saturday last. She was about 05 years of sige.

We protest against such a misuse of the State's funds. It is enough to train convicts to com pete with honest labor and give ihem the rudiments of a trade; but when it comes to training pnps, yon may justly expect a howl from our dog trainers, and from others interested in dog flesh.
