WASHINGTON ITEMS. The Schutzenfest
continues with unabated interest, thousands OF
pleasure seekers visiting the park every day,
while at night all who can leave the hot brick
walls of the city hasten thither to catch q
breath of air and relief from the cares OF bust
ness.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has dcsignat-
cd three female clerks 1.-TWO in the Treasurer 3
Office and one in the Internal Revenue Bureau
to be GrstcasS clerks. 10 accordance with q
recent act of Congress.
Yesterday afternoon an accident occurred at
Vanderwerken squarry, near the Chain Bridge.
Some OF the worknen we're charging q blast
when it prematurely exploded, scattering
fragments of rocks in all directions, and blow
iug three men a distance OF about twenty feet,
one Of whom had his leg SO badly fractured that
it had 10 be amputated yesterday, and another
had his hand SO badly shattered that it will
probably be amputated.
1t has been the style Tor the past few years
for persons sojourning in this city from differ
ent States to organize themselves into State
associations Tor purposes political and social.
What first gave rise to the custom can only be
con ectured, but it would seem that il there
are five government clerks from any one State
employed in this city they arc unable to sur.
vive any great length of time without getting
together and resolving themselves into this,
that or the othcrStato Republican Association.
The numbcr of persons visiting the Navy
Department every day to seek employment 10

was received with great rejoicing. A public

Letter from Jefferson County.

CORRESPONDENTS Of the Alexandria Gazette. |
IARpER's FERRY, July 2l,lS70.-Bcine on
q short visit to this ncighborhood, have
thought that brief letter might be acceptable.
Such Ct the farmers as [ have seen, complain
less about their wheat than those in our neigh
borhood, and as to the corn, don't think it
could we'll look BETTER 81 there is much less
grumbing than usual, especially in view OF Il
probable advance in prices consequent upon
the European war.
Harper's Ferry is very dull, If course, since
the government works no Logger exist: but some
private parties have purchased the sites, and
hopes ere entertained tf an establishment OF
factories, which shall renew the prosperity CT
the town, at no distant day. Charlcstown, too,
being no longer the county scat, looks dull and
dilapidated, like most Of our old Virginia
towns. At HaNtoHn, between the TWO places,
there is paper mill, in which box boards are
turned out in few moments, out OF ground
straw, dry, smooth, and hard. The process is
really worth seeing. Jefferson, you know, Is,
at present, under the dominion Ut West Elr-
GINA, and most Of her people are DISTINGUISHED,
bur hopes are entertained Of better time, at
10 distant day, even if the people shall fail 10
the effort to come again under the protection OF
their ancient mother. tlDELlS.

TINHE OPINION OF THE WASHINGTON
4 Pross on the Great Curative
GAUTlERS NATIVE WINE BITTERS
are in general demand by the weak, debilsted
and dyspeptc on account Of the great virtue
they possess. These Bitters, we are proud to
say contain more virtue than great many

have ever used, and wo know OF many severe
cases of dyspepsia and chills that have bee n
radically cured by their use."

A CATTLE EPIDEMIC. The people of Salem,
Va, town about fifty miles from Alexandria,
on the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas rail.
ROAD, are sadly afflicted by the loss of nearly
every g; mlen COW that locality from the effects
and which in the past three davs bas corr;eJ
of, nineteen cows, while many others viii nr ro
badly. die. The disease is supposed n have
been brought into the neighborhood by herd
OF Texas cattle recently pastured in the vicin;tv
OF the town, while awaiting q market. As
soon as the animal contracts the disease, her
milk is dried at once, the kidneys cease their
action. while the stomach refuses to perform
its functions. In some cases quantity of
mucous forms 10 the windpipe, and spasmo.
die action is noticed about the head. Various
remedies have been applied by the owners,
but as yet nothing has been found sufficiently
efhcacious to prevent fatal termination. The
citizens are greatly exercised in regard TO the
Natter Washington Republican.
