state some facts relative to the pro%S
prosperity of the town of Alexs1n aiSa ~
we assume as fact, tina, the town o a. "a, I'D
andrla has, for the last IS wears, or y. as''
progressed both in population and S'a %''
with but the little interruption it rxn stsl
ed in the year 1909, which We han ~1E
prove blessing in disguise, and ; r.. W w
as a romerlary check Tor, with thu, , d'
bought experience, we have es,ahr.s oss'
police which promises fair to ward a.
milar evil in future. The popuI,,;o as
Alexandria, in 1906, was 59l5 IN ,a,s
620S; in 1903 no census was take, .v wv
by examining the list of Poll Tax !, m W.
have been q greater increase than II. ~.
ding year, which will make 6647, and r.,
present year has, from the same tsyr,
doubled any former year, making our 1o,"
lation 1900, at least. We observe by pr rI
sons Philadelphia Gazette, that s23 brI
houses have been built in that CITY tn w.
sent year, and BY viewing our own impr,.
ments we find that 81 houses have Len
built in Alexandria, of which IS are bri;r,
Now the plain rule Of three will inform \,
that Alexandria, with population of ,5o|
inhabitants, has built in proportion as nan,
houses as Philadelphia, with populate,
OF upwards of7o,Ooo. On the first of En.
last bricks could not be had here to build ,
house since that period near four milan
Of bricks have been burnt in Aexaula,
There has been inspectedin Alexandra for
the half year ending the 1ss Sept 9t,4a
barrels Of -four, and go hhds. Of tcbneo
the latter inspe ction not more than 9 years
revived. IN 1906 there were not more than
two weavers' looms in town, ncw there are
upwards of 2o--and this year cardins
min and cotton factory have been establish.
ed On the margin of the tovn-;~o new
rope walks have been built this year, aud
considerable improvement to the wharyes,
which present to the view, in approaching
the town by water, continuation Of Peg',
representing regular bastions 10 fort
which proves the wealth deposited 10 thE
particular improvement. The crest western
transportation road will this season be turn
mixed upwards of 26 miles, and a BRIDGES
finishing over Great Hunting Creek adj
ing town, which will shorten the Sou5hs'h
mail road / and Sc miles in the small dis
lance of 7, and connect with the town a
large and fertile plain Of country, before
almost unconuected by its bad and circuit
Gus route. Much as we have been dsPrs''
sed in common with Our ts!low'cl1lz5ns, BY
the late deranged state OF comnlsFce' We
have continued to progress VITA STEADY
pace, both in population and wesl'S, and .
we a,z persuaded few towns IN the o. D.
hold out greater advantages to the man q

CHARLOTTE, in one of her letters, dur
ing her connexion with Werer, makes the
following comparison between these two Gel
ebrated poets. /" am much pleased wifi,
many passages in Ossian, but the perpetual
recurrence of the same images, and a con-
tinual effort to effect the sublime, so weafies
the mind, that can never read more than a
few passages at time. Ossian resembles a
tremendous rock, overhung with waving
woods, where you may discover foaming cat
aracts, gloomy cavelns,.and dismal precipi-
ces. Homer is like fertile country, in
which YOU may at once contemplate the varie-
gated beauties of woods and waterfalls, tor
rents that rush with impetuosity from lofty
mountains, and streams tina. murmur through
Arcadian vallies. Like the shield of A.
chilles, the poems of Homer present the.
whole world to our vicw"
