FRUIT TRADE-We noticed yesterday, being
sent off by Mr.. Bossart, to llynchburg and Lees
burg. number of boxes Of West India fruit.
Mr. B. has gone into this business quite ex'
tensively, and we hope it is but the beginning
of a revival of trade that once fiourlshed here
to a considerable extent, and which, with the
extensive back country to be supplied and the
facilities offered for transportation, could be
easily regaincd, as fruit can and is sold here as
cheap as it can be bought in Baltimore. we
hope the day is not far distant when cargoes OF
fruit from the West Indies will be again I'M
ported direct to Alexandria and the trade once
carried on with those islands be revived.
