COUNTY NEws-A division Of the Sons OF
Temperance has been established near Carter s
Inn, above the Columbian Turnpike tolgate,
in Alexandria county. The Froedmen's Vii
lase is not so populous now, as it once was,
most of the smaller houses and nineteen-twen-
tieths of the lazzaroni that infested them, hav-
ing been removed by Governmental lnterposi'
ton. All the halt, lame and blind, and those
who were unable to support themselves were
removed last summer to Washington, and pro-
vided for by the Bureau. A large proportion
of those left behind as able, bodied, and, there
fore, capable of gaining their own living by
honest industry, now roam at large, in idleness,
with no visible means of support, though the
precarious tenure by which the white settlers
in that region maintain their hold on such
things as cattle, horses, pigs, ducks, hens, tur-
keys, &c., sufficiently attest where portion OF
the sustenance Of these nomads Is derived
Gangs of the younger portion of them can be
seen daily roaming up and down the turnpike,
listless and armless, apparently, save for mis-
chief of some sort They are making sad
havoc, too, among the trees lining tie canal
