auctiOneer sold eight hundred acres of
land lying in Northumberland County,
between the Potomac and Rappahannock
rivers, for S37 per acre, to r. Spear i
Co. The sales realized the current rates
for real property. Another large vendue
will take place on the 18th instant.
Under misapprehension, with the i'm
preston that the establishment was still
IN the hands of its late enterprising firm,
Messrs. Snowden & Co., my letter of the
ID instant, states enormously that the
Mount Vernon Cotton company have
ceased operations. 1 am happy to learn,
however, that the company resumed the
control of the works some time since, and
at no time since the reduction of the
hours Of labor has it been doing more
work, CT working more proftably than at
present.
Our friends of the Sun are doing finely
at their fair each night. The saloon is
thronged, and learn that in addition to
the ordinary attractions, the Musical As
ISOLATION of Washington have volunteered
thicr services, and this evening the fair
will be enlivened by strains of delightful
music.
On next Sunday the new church of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, at
Union, on the Leesburg turnpike, will be
dedicated. The religious services of the
occasion will be performed by Rev. James
A Duncan, of your city, and Rev. j. d.
Coulllng, of this place. AMI.
