WASHINGTON ITEMS. The report that the

had been purchased by til Washington lacht
Club is incorrect She as been taken back
to Philadelphia by steame r.
A furher hearing in the Ease OF DR.. McCrea-
ry, was held yesterday at police headquarters
before Major Richards.
General W. B. Emory has been ordered to
relieve General Candy, 10 c prnmand or the De-
part ment of Washington.

USWHoLEsoME fruits. this season OF

UNWHoLEsoME FRCITs.-At this season OF
abundance, there is but little inducement to
buy stale or wiited vegetables or fruit, as
fresh and wholesome article can be purchased
so cheaply Still the temptation to save IN
such matters Is strong among those who have
to make every cent count, and lay out the little
cash they possess to the best advantage. Such
should remember, however, that unripe, un-
wholesome, stale and wilted articles offood are
not cheap at any price, il they are the means
as unfortunately they too often are, OF produc-
ing sickness. A doctors bill is heavier to pay
than few cents more for sound fruits, and
spell Of cholera morbus costs more than the
difference between wilted vegetables and fresh.
Ripe, sound fruit, fresh vegetables, &c, are
wholesome and heath-producing. 1t is we'll
attested fact that persons who use them 10
moderation, in cholera and epidemic seasons,
are less liable to dis than those who abstain
But remember the proviso, IN moderation;
while countless ills are yearly inflicted on bu-
nanity by the imprudent use OF those that are
unsound, unripe, wilted and stale.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 80.

80 SoHoo1 Openings Between the first and
ffteenth Of September, proximo, the various
! schools Of our city will commence their sessions
s From among the twenty advertised In this pa.
mar. and many more which are not within the
citv limits, may be chosen such as will suit all
capacities and grades Of advancement, from
the rudimental principles of education to the
preparatory schools for college, These schools
are kept by ladies and gentlemen whose quail
6cations OF skill, talent aud learning will bear
the test of comparison with any In the State or
out of it. Many of them have followed the
nrofession of teaching for years, and bring to
hear on the subject that experience so needtul
in successfully training the youthful mind
: Above all they are our citizens, friends, neigh
bors and as such should be encouraged in the
task, than which none more arduous more no
HE or exalted is pursued, and justice compels
us to add, none more lily paid The faithful,
intelligent teacher is most valuable member
Of society, and deserves the esteem and cordial
support of his community. In his hands is
placed a grave responsibility. His influence
is second only to that of parent, and is fruit
full of enduring results As too high an estl
mate cannot be placed on the value OF the
teachers example, choice should be made with
discrimination, and schools at home should be
particularly encouraged and patronized, that
children may be under home influence as much
as possible. 1t is felt that no apology is need
ed for bringing this subject SO often before our
readers, irasmuch as it so intimately concerns
all az a theme of paramount importance; and
it is hoped that the institutions of learning in
and about Alexandria will be as literally patro-
nised as they desire.
