Subscriptions upon the terms following
viz I'VE will furnish six pounds. (abcut
half peck) daily for sc the season, the

weather should continue so warm as to
make it desirable, no objection will be
made to extending it as ling rs the Ice
lasts but should it not last tie season
ont, a proportionate deduction will 10
made for any time it may fall short.
Five Dollars in Gdrance will be receiv-
ed in rayment of seasons subscri, ton.
But in this case the season must be con-
sidered as ending with the ice ard no al

short of 100 days. Tickets will occasl-
onalIy be furnished to subscribers for

titled to receive ice for them who is not

The happy effects of Peace begin to be
sensib!y felt by this town. Since the
termination of the war, property has adj
vanced rapidly in value and demand-po-
pulation has increased beyond expecta.
tion-commerce has raised her dropping
head, and the increase of bank capital
promises every accommodation and FACT
lity to mercanti e negotiations. With
such advantages the town OF Alexandria
bids fair to rise to, that Importance to
which It's natural situation has so pre-
eminently fitted it. Located in the CEN
TIE of TIE Union, in the immediate vicini-
ty of the Metropolis, and possessing all
the advantages of a safe navigation, and
a large extent of rich and we'll improved
back country; it cannot fail to become
an object of interest and attention as
well to the man Of business as to the man
of fortune.
