Alexandria turnpike on condition that il should
revert to the grantor in the case of its being
useo TOT any other purpose. The heirs are
entitled to recover because a part of the road
4,O4l feet long by 80 feet wide, has been con,
veyed to the Washington aud Alexandria rail
road. Judge Keith decided that a railroad is
not public highway, and that the selling OF
the land granted TO the turnpike upon the CON
onions was breach of the condition. By con
sent the jury found the following verdict:

Under the above head the New York Ind<pen-
dent has an interesting article upon the ladies'
America at the great pattern establishment of
Messrs. L. Butterick & Co., New York. The
Independent reviews the heretofore attempts by
the publishers Of fashion periodic ais to set them
selves up AZ the arbiters OF the mode, and the
promulgators OF patterns for the fair sex at
large, but their transactions only amounted 10
the monthly insertion of one ill-conceived pat
tern between the leaves of each COPY of their
magazines. They failed of success for various
reasons, among which were the want of cap
ital, energy, and tact; and further, there was q
prejudice against anything in the way of fash
ions originating at home. But all that has been
changed through such instrumentalities as the
firm of Messrs. Butterick & Co., and now, as is
to be seen by visit to their extensive es-
adjustment, the fashions OF American women
are the result Of careful study by quail
ned persons, who in the prosecution of
that work are guided not only by the
differences of climate, habit, and avocation,
but by the immutable laws of taste, blended
with convenience and adaptability. Their rooms
may be well called the fountains of fashion, for
in them more styles are originated and sent forth
than from all other similar institutions in this
country bined. An interesting descrip-
ton is given OF the different branches of
the extensive establishment - the design
ing rooms, the rooms where cloth dupli-
ptr>Ons of living models the manufacturers de-
partment, where the paper patterns pre-
pared in a finished state for the market; the
printing department, where the beautiful
engraved pattern illustrations for the two pOpu-
lar publications of Butterick & Co. The Nitro
pcttfdE and The Quarterly DsliHedtar, are pre-
pared; and last, but not least, the editorial de-
paTtment, where the careful and lucid explana-
tory articles printed in conjunction with the
pattern plates are written. Then there are the
great salesroOms and the mailing and shipping
Departmental, all showing the vast extent and
the various ramifeatiOns of the business. The
wonderful growth OF the establishment of
MessTs. Butterick * Co. is shown by the follow
ing statistics. In 1867 they employed II opera
tves and used about $50 worth OF paper. In
1872 they employ over 500 operatives, most OF
whom are females, and use annually nearly
500, GOO worth Of paper. Those of our readers
who ere interested in this subject, and what
lady is not?-will find a visit 10 the establish
ment of Mr. l.. Baar in the Y. M. q. A. building
well worth the time required. Mr.. Baar is the
agent for Butterick & Co. for this region and
e constantly supplied with a full assortment of
he various articles OF use and ornament turned
out by them.
