The Cabinet Factory ofJames Green, which,
from long time before the writer Of this no.
tce was born to the twentyfourth day OF May,
1861, was one Of the institutions Of Alexandria
the bell in whose cupoa told the hours Of the
day to more people than the town clock, and
the turning Of whose lathes, as seen through
its Observation-Disclosures on Fairfax street, was the
great and continuous attraction to each success
sve generation of town boys--is now undergoing
repairs, rendered necessary by the occupation
of the building during the war as hospital,
and will, we are pleased to state, soon be in op-
eration with compliment Of hands, Thus one
by one are the old features Of our city beginning
to assume their wonted appearance, and happy
are We to note the change.

THE CHRIST CHURCH CASE. This case, IN
yolvipg the right Of possession Of The Church
and parsonage, was taken up in the County
Cont, this morning, and opened on the part
OF the plaintiffs, by Col. Funston, and on the
mart OF the defence by Mr.. Beach The first
point raised by the defence was, that the Cir
emit Court. under whose order the plaintiffs
we're appointed trustees, had no authority,
under the statute, to make such appoint
meDts. and therefore the plaintiffs were not
properly, sin court This point Wasargued at
length by Mr.. Beach and Gen. Wells on the
part of the defence, and By Messrs Brent,
Taylor and funston on the part Of the plain
tifs and decided adversely to the plaintiffs. This
will, so far, as the County Court is concerned,
end the case, which, we understand however,
will be taken to higher tribunal. Exceptions
to the ruling of the Court were taken.
