LOCAL ITEMS.

ALENANDRIA.-ln speaking of the cheap
ness of living in this city, the Alexandria cor
respondent of the Washington Chronicle, of
Yesterday, says:--"House rents are very,
low here, and now | would say that in the mat
ter Of servants hire money is to be saved, for
a good cook and washer brings from SIS to s.
month, while nurses and housemaids can be
had from 81 to Sc. Our market is we'll sup
piled with meats, which sell at from II to Is
cents per pound. Vegetables are always low ::
potatoes bring 10 cents quarter peck cab
bages from TO 10 cents per head and other
things in proportion. Eggs at this season arc
high, but generally rarely exceed 80 cents per
dozen, and moro than half the year can be
bought at 90 cents a dozen. Butter can be
bought from rs to So cents for prime article
the year round Those dcicacics, fish and oys-
tiers abound here, and can be had at from
twenty five to fifty cents bunch for the former
and seventy five cents aud 81 gallon for the
latter. These prices are for the best to be had,
and not for such as are either stale or Old
We have In season au abundance of game,
which sells for twenty per cent. less than IN
your market Wood and coal both are very
low, comparatively speaking. The former sells
at from 81 50 TO Sc per cord, aud the latter
from So 50 to SIS per ton. The variation in
which ii is purchased These figures compared
with those charged at the Centre Market, are
enough to make clerks with small salaries and
large families consider the advantages offered
by our town. In Alexandria We not only offer
cheap living, but good society, quiet, moral
home out from Washington, with which place
we have hourly communication from a. u. to
! D. M, by water and by rail from to II p.
N. The light trains bring all the alnusemeuts
of Washington within the grasp Of persons
living here The clerks residing here also
share in all the advantages that We will derive
from an increase in property valuation, should
they purchase. We have several building as
socia tons 10 which they could safely invest and
soon become owners of real estate, and pay less
rent than two or three rooms cost IN Washing
ton A number of clerks reside here now, and
they are constantly increasing, all of whom like
our city and its cheap living. hope before
the end of the next year that the number may
be increased tourfold. The trains run so as to
suit the Office hours, viz: leave here at a.
M, Washington at 1888 p. N. Board can be
had here from S25 to $50 month at the no.
tells and first class boarding houses. Alexan-
dria is by no means finished place. During
the decade ending in 1870. Notwithstanding
the numerous disadvantages We underwent dur
ing the war and the decrease IN population oc-
cusioncd thereby, we had gained over three
thousand inhabitants, and | believe We have
increased at least 5000 in the last two years.
The travel over the local railroad between Al
csaudria and Washington has increased and Is
still increasing very rapidly. The Saturday
uicht trains down have eight or nine cars laden
with passengers, and they are hardly sufficient
20 accommodate the travel.

Fire at CuIpeper Court HOuse-Ehild
Burnt to Death.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazcttcl
CuLpEpER COURT HOUSE, Dec. 2.-Bctween
four and five o'clock, this morning, the large
wooden warehouse of /. P. Nelson, opposite
the Waverly House, containing among other
things about twenty tons OF leaf sumac belong
ing to Waite, Miller 4 Co., took fire. and in
five minutes was enveloped in flames. Fortuna
tely the wind had died away, and but for that
it is impossible to calculate the amount OF
damage that might have ensued, as David
Jamieson's, Washington Hall, Whitestone's,
and all that row of buildings were expected
to catch every minute. A colored man
named Tibbs lived with his family in the
upper end of the burnt building and the flames
spread so rapidly that Ole of his children, a
little boy named Tommy, well known to the
whole town by his accomplishments as a
dancer, was burned to death, and when brought
out of the embers was so charred as to be hardly
recognizable. Everybody regrets MS death as
he was general favorite The loss to the prop
erty, it is understood, is fully covered by In
surance.

WHAT DOGS DO.

A Northeru paper says that last year
tho rural members Of the Illinois legls'
lature expended good deal OF their
time in efforts to legislate the Canada
tbistIe out of the State This year they
are discussing means to rid themselves
of dogs There is no doubt that the raw
ages of dogs upon sheep hocks are a very
serious injury to the farming interest in
nearly all the States. Official reports
show in Ohio an annual loss Of 81 600
600 in sheep killed by dogs, and nearly
81 600 600 in injuries--a loss equivalent
to 10000 pounds Of wool, or tax Of
two per cent. upon the total sum invest
ed in sheep in that State. It is said that
in two years, from 1868 to 1870, Illinois
sank FROM the sixth TO the ninth rank
among the States in the number and
value Of its sheep, and this great falling
off is attributed to pFoportiouate in
crease in the number of dogs, and the
lack of proper legislation to prevent
their ravages among sheep. The Legs
lature of Maryland is considering the
came subject. The returns from five
counties report over 100 sheep killed in
one year by dogs
