there has been too much raln ; and corn
planting has been seriously intertered With.
'sWe have had no hail storms, and no chnch
bug, fly, or worm, as yet, to burt US. This
is one Of the quietest, most thrifty, and most
healthy counties il the State, aud mas im-
proved, within the last six years, as much,
or more than any other county. Alexan-
dria will find, 10 short time, that Fairfax
is a much important .teedcr than some other
more pretediouS couutes, to winch she has
been accustomed to look for supplies. Our
market gardens are already all important to
Washington city"

nifty than the mid day mail from W Washington
