ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE.
ALEXANDRIA, June %, 1856.

ALEXANDRIA, June 70, 1855
Last night, the Sunday School attached to
the Methodist E. Church South, gave a nne
exhibition at the church. The speeches of
Misses English, Robinson, and Hunter, as we'll
as those of Masters B. +. Field and Smith,
were really we'll delivered; but it is scarcely
invidious to select the recitation of tee Dying
Boy" by Master Atwell, as ono of the most
touching and correct renderings of selection
we have ever heard. The choir, in all its Of.
hcier cy, united in the proceedings, and fully
aimed its high reputation.
We are sorry, for he credit of our oity, to
mention that party of young men, only
transient residents, however, collected round
the door Of the church creating much annoy
ance by their ungentlemanly behavior At
length, however, Justice English deputed a
party to remove them, and, after some little
resist ance, the pavement was cleared, and the
exercises proceeded quietly.
Last evening, about six clock, a lad named
W Chryss, aged about fourteen, in the en-
pioy Of one of the GOAL agencies was sent with
message to vessel lying in the stream.
While on his way, the boat careened, when
he lost his balance, fell overheard, and was
drowned His body, up to this morning, has
not been recovered.
John McGenty was arrested yesterday,
charged with stealing 500 from Edward Ken
nedy. Justice Hunter committed him to Jail
TO answer at the next term of the Circuit
Court. AM

that the breath of a Stranger who was about
leaving In the oars sneit Of something stronger
than water, invited him in sly way to 20 up
town and get drink, and having brought
him to the k-up with th ct pretsnco, pushed
him in, whore he was confined most of the
day. At an examin alton before D. II. Msr.
RAN, Esq, it appeared that the stranger was
perfectly sober, the evidence OF constabls's
nose not being deemed a sufficient proof of
drunkenness An efigy of the constable was
found hanging on ono of the elms near the

learn that he will be required to pay damages
