L think there is some error in the stotement OF
g. W. r., in yesterdays Gazette. John Alex
auder, who bought Howsen, or IIoWisen's Patent
of 6 OOl acres Of land on the freshes Of the Pa
TowMAcK River, .so-called in the Patent, was
the owner of all the land on which Alexandria
now stands except some few lots not sold. The
Trustees of the town, who had bought of the
original owner, about 1748, reserved one acre for
market and court house. The Alexander Ian
was afterwards divided between the two sons of
John xandria-Charles, who got all north of
Cameron street, and Thornton, VINO got all south
of said street IF either of the Alexanders was
a master of Masonic Lodge or if there was any
Lodge at all here at that time, seems very
doubtful ~ ,..'
The charter TO the present Lodge, No. %, was
originally granted to Lodge No. 39-to our
brother, George Washington, (frst mastery late
Communicating Chief of the armies Of the o nited
States" and was dated, q write from memory
i think, in 1885, On the death of Washington,
on the l4th of December, 1893, a dispen sation
under the nsme Of Lodge No. ~, and to retain
the original charter. General Washington never
owned the market house lot. He was once ap-
lpointed a trustee of the town but declined act
ing.
i The subject of the title to the market house
lot was thoroughly examined, and repo rted upon,
1 believe, by the late Edmund L Lee, in con-
junction with Robert I. Taylor and Thompson
F. Mason, at the time the removal OF the
Court House to its present location, was agltated
in 1889, or whereabouts. Mr.. Lees report IS
believed TO be somewhere among the Corpora
ton papers. CITIZEN.

EUROPEAN GRAIN TRADE.-The enormous
expectation of grain from, Hungary continues
without diminution. A letter from Pesth, da-

river, and the railways are even more busy
The grain all goes to Bodenbach, which is the
great centre from which it is sent on to France,
Hamburg and England. The demand seems to
increase rather than diminish.
