The RICHMOND R. r. BILL, which has tor
so long time occupied the attention Of the
Legislature of Virginia, and been the subject Of
50 much discussion, was finally PASSED on Sat
urday last. 1t will, no doubt, be signed by the
Governor and become law. We are glad that
the controversy is ended, so that other import
ant legislative business may be proceeded with.
We sincerely hope, in behalf Of our good Ole
State, that, in reference to the railroad bill the
results will in full time turn out to be tor the
general benefit, and that all the good promised
by the friends of the measure may be realized
and that all the harm feared by its opponents
may be averted: or never come to pass. We
believe that both friends and opponents, as
general rule, We're sincere in their convictions
and conscientious in their action. The matter
being ended, however, let the parties all close
ranks, and join hand in hand for the future
The prosperity and improvement of Virginia,
her counties, her cities, her towns, her people
is what all should aim at and endeavor tc
secure.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
LEEsBURG, Va, Feb. 25, lS7l.-The prom
ise given us by the ground hog, a few weeks
since, of the early opening Of spring seems
about to be realized rs the weather has been
toning down for several days and We now have
a most pleasant day.
The winter has been hard one, but in con-
sequence of the exceedingly fine weather III the
fall. and its continuance up to the middle OF
December, there has not been as much suffer
ing as is usual. Again the ice crop gave en-
ployment to- good many persons and teams,
and these wages helped to temper the severity
Of the weather.
The reasonable increase in the price of wheat
has put the farmers in better spirits, while the
price of corn, paying one to the farmer, has
not interfered with the comfort Of the great
mass of the laboring men of the community.
On the whole the outlook for. the ensuing
year is more pleasant and cheerful than it was
for last year.
Mr.. Thomas p Knox died last night aged
about -. He was born here, removed to
Fauquier, studied law, but was most noted a;
deputy clerk for VIM +. Phillips, and for A. j..
Marshall. In lS4l he was appointed by Judge
Scott, Clerk of the Circuit Court Of Loudoun.
anu was electeu " THAT uiuce III 1911
In 1851 he was defeated by James Sin
clare, but was continued as receiver of the
court until within year or two past
when his infrmities were SO great as to cause
him to give up the position. He was kind
hearted genial man, eminently correct in his
business transactions and much respected by
the entire community. He has suffered for
several years past with spinal affection which
caused him to suffer much, but he has gone to
his home where suffering and pain can never
enter He has been. for fifteen years, a consist
cnt member of the Presbyterian Church His
only DESCENDANT is Mrs. Powell Harrison, the
daughter of his only daughter, who died in
1S49.
