for Hunting.-A fox, followed by fine
pack of hounds in full cry, passed through
the lower part of our borough, 4 few days
ago, affording us, for short time, all the
pleasure and excitement of the chase, with.
out the labor and fatigue attending it
We were sorry to learn that the fox was
caught by the hounds, near Hilemans old
tavern, and killed.
Stagnation.-Business generally is very
dull money scarce, and every person COM

times when Spring comes
Sn0n.-More snow and less sleichinp,
has been the last weather change. The
prospect for more snow yet is good. but
the rough roads do not brighten our hopes
for sleighing. Since the above was written
we have had fine fall of snow.
The ReaicaI progresses slowly, and owing
to the intense cold weather and rough
roads, the attendance has been smaller thar
usual

CECILTON ITEMS.

Ran Away.-At Cecilton, on the Goth
inst, a pair of horses hitchcd to mill

Thomas Garrett died at his residence, in
Wilmington, last Tuesday night, in the SGD
year Of his age. Through his hatred of
oppression, and love of liberty, he obtained
national reputation, and was perhaps as
widely known as any other man in our
State. While the propagandists of slavery
hated him with great bitterness, the aboli-
tonists admired his spirit, and the colored
people looked upon him with pride and
affection-as their Moses. Few men will
be more sincerely lamented or more geuer-
ally ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

LETTER FROM NORTH EAST.

4 Word to the Scribe.-We have read the
chapter referred to- by your correspondent
from this place. and find when Christ and
his disciples ''journeyed to the sea side
and sat at meat in his house, many publ
cans and sinners sat also with Jesus and
his disciples for these were many, and
they followed him." but in the case we
referred to- the rum-seller and Wine bibbers
did not follow the disciple, but the disciple
followed the rum-seller quite contrast,
surely. He claims to have a great deal of
sympathy for us, but how much greater
claims have the wife and mother OH the
sympathy of all good men for the victims
who became ridiculousy inebrated at
"Mne host's,'' on that Christmas day
solomon says, "They that forsake the lao
praise the wicked.'' There is another por-
ton of scripture which reads, "Not every
one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of Heaven but he
that doeth the will of my Father, which is in
Heaven" which latter clause, we infer
means those who reprove the wicked, and
do not ilatter them in their vanity.
Business.-Our merchants appear to be
doing fair business but, we presume, if
they would follow the example of their
contemporaries in Elkton, Zion, and else
where, give themselves a puff in Tile Wig,
as no one cares to puff them, it would
make quite an improvement to their enter
prise.
10 tie CurioUs.-Our once quiet little
village consists of about one hundred dwell
ling-houses, two churches, one seminary,
one school-house, public hall, one Touring
mill, one steam saw mill, one fire brick
mandatory, four shoe shops, two black
smith and two wheelwright shops, one tin
shop, one tailor shop one undertaken, two
BARRIERS, one livery, one railroad station,
and two places where they manufacture
drunkards and last, but not least, the
Mccullough Iron o.'s extensive works,
which are again in full operation, the stand
still being only temporary one, in order
to give them an opportunity to take an
account of stock, and make some necessary
repairs.

THE MERRY SLEIGH.

Jingle, jingle, clear the way,
IT'S the merry, merry sleigh,
As it swiftly scuds along
Hear the burst of happy song;
See the CLEAN of glances bright,
Flashing DER the pathway white;
Jingle, jingle, how it whirls,
Crowded full of laughing girls.
Jingle, .jingle-fast it flies,
Shooting shafts from roguish eyes;
Careless archers, I'll be bound,
Little needing when they wound;
See them with capricious pranks,
Ploughing now the drifted banks;
Jingle, .iingle-'mid their glee,
Who among them cares for me?
Jingle, jingle-on they flow,
Caps and bonnets white with snow,
And the faces swimming past
Nodding through the tleecy blast;
Not a single robe they fold
To protect them from the cold.
Jingle, iingle-'mid the storm,
Fun and frolic keeps them warm.
Jingle, Jingle-down the hills,
Der the meadows, past the mills;
Now it's slow, now tbs fast
Winter will not always last;
Every pleasure has its time,
spring will come and stop the chin c
Jingle, jingle-clear the way

Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette
RICHMOND. Va, Nov B. lS7l.-The atten-
dance at the Fair yesterday, the second day was
yariousy estimated at from 2O.OUO to $1,000
persons. The good order preserved among
this vast a>Scmbagc WAS remarkable. But one
intoxicated person waS observed by the writer
on the grounds
The press and jam within the city has some
what diminished by the departure OF sight scerS
who have been leaving ina pretty steady stream
for the past twenty-tUur hours. There is quite
Il crowd present, however, to witness the clo-
sing scenes Of the Fair to-day. Many of them
are attracted by the profound anIu>cmcntS,
which consist OF racing, on horseback and on
foot, sack races, etc. Indeed the attractions of
the Fair, to many, seem to be these incidental
exhibitions and the inspection OF the city.
Many societies and associations have avalIcd
themselves of the occasion and the attendance
of strangers, to hold their annual meetings.
Among them may be mentioned the State con
vcntion of Disciples, the Grand Division Of the
Sons Of Temperance, the Virginia State Dental
| Association, the Virginia Division of the Army
of Northern Virginia and the State Agricultu.
raj Society, besides any number VI balls, parties
and kindred enjoyments:

As to the Fair, opinions are much divided rs
to its being a success or an Improvement over
those of the two preceding years The con-
course Of visitors was much greater, and the
exhibition of live stock, especially the entries
of horses, sheep, goats and poultry. was better
than at any Fair since the war. On the other
hand there WAS decided falling off i'll the dis,
play of miscellaneous wares, OF agricultural
PRODUCTS. fancy work, &C.; SO that the aggrc-
gate of articles on exhibition was diminished.
This, it is said was owing to the withdrawal OF
the premiums offered heretofore on small things,
and the high charge for entering articles for
exhibition. Many persons having articles OF
taste and merit would, it is said, have placed
them on exhibition had any inducements been
offered.
The military parade on the second day, com
peting for the prize medal, was an object OF
special interest, the drill Of the companies be-
ing very perfect. Gov. Walkers address to

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER I.

We MUST again appeal to our Conservative
friends and to al who are willing TO aid them
in the present political contest il this State, to
be not only earnest but active and Ilgilant IN
I'll the election is over. TO Virginia the issues
are as important as were ever presented to the
people for their decision. Upon the judgment
that may be passed depends, i'll our opinion, the
future welfare and prosperity OF the Common
wealth. We believe that to turn the State over
TO the control of the Radical leaders, at this
time, would be the heaviest blow that could be
inflicted upon our material interests. Never
was there greater deluSion than the idea
that Radical triumph would contribute to
increase capital or business, or lead to
an increase of immigration and the success OF
industrial pursuits. 1t would have, in all hui
man probability, precisely the contrary effect
Who would desire to invest his money in lands,
or to build up manufactures or 20 reside, IN e
State governed BY such men, as have mi>gov-
erned and ruined the other States in the South,
since the war closed We, therefore, venture
to ask those who are interested in the welfare
ofthe country, even if they be Republicans in
politics, for the sake of the Old State. for them
selves. for the sake Of future results, to aid the
Conservatives in the noble struggle they arc
now making to save Virginia. They save all,
now. who save the State
