/ ties EXISTING between the orange anu iltS~
andria and Virginia Central Railroads have
been adjusted the President OF the latter

Alexandria Railroad, and no further de-

DOG WAR.-The past week has been an
! important and eventtul epoch IN the unwrit-
| ten history OF the dogs of Alexandria; for
during that period numerous members OF the
different families OF Carlos, Tray, Brutus
&c, have been suddenly removed from the
| loved hauuts OF their puppy-hood and the
scenes Of their Mundane usefulness, and did
we hold the opinions of Pythagoras we should
| fear the approach of Il great retrograde moral
revolution from an immense increase of
| Cynics. Though the majority OF these de-
partei CANNES succumbed to the seductive
| but banctul influence of choice bits of tender
| loin favored with strychnine, some owe their
demise to propelled lead, for ON Sunday morn
| inc last, we saw the body of one venerable
| Diogcnes pierced many times with bullets,
| bur whether he, the dog, labored under lily
drophubia or Plucro Pneumonia and conSe-
/ 4uently was in the hands of Coy. Banks
/ Commissioners, or whether the spirit OF Cap
tain Travis, of pistol shot not0riety, was hoy
ering nigh and inspired the police to burn
powder, we cannot say.
THE RuMoR current yesterday at noon that
woman had been killed near the Court
House was unlounded. The only occasion
| for the ruinor was that IL man whose wife
| had died on Sunday, collected a sum of mo-
ncv sufficient to bury her, and then got drunk
and was making off with the money, when he
was chased by Il woman and caught. The
| chase caused some excitement, and number
Of persons were drawn toscther-b but no one
was burt.
