A WIFE's DEvoTIoN.-Mr. Jacob
Staley, some time ago, thought proper to
steal letter in Omaha, from the Unit.
ed States mail The letter contained a
draft on which the cash was got by
forged Endorsement. A touching feature
of the case consisted in the fact that
Staley's wife went upon the stand and
swore that she was the forger. Her hope
was to save her husband, and she appar-
emily perjured herself to compass that
end. The effort was vain, and the Judge
in passing sentence, said he was entirely
satisfied that the woman was not guilty
of the crime with which she charged
herself The sentence was heavy one,
being that Staley should be confined in
the House of Correction for ten years.

THE TRADE OF ALEXANDRIA The Lees
burg Washingtonian says THE people OF
Lnudouu county, in their efforts to secure u
connection with the District cities, are actuated
hy no unkind feeling to Alexandria, nor by any
desire to iniure the trade Of that city They
wish to have the advantages which the compe-
1irion of the markets will afford and to have
ready sale for all they produce Soule OF our
~hrewdeSt caicuatorS estimate that from fifty
10 one hundred thousand dollars per annum,
are now lost to our farmers for the want OF Ia
cilies for diSpoSing of the milk, fruits aud veg
,labcs they can produce. All things equal,
Alexandria would have the preference, but
that which they cannot dispose Of there to adj
vantage, should not be permitted to waste on
their hands, when other cities are ready to take
it at rernuncrative prices For the sale Of grain
and trade in fertilizers, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
aud family supplies, Alexandria will have a full
share of the trade as she deserves-aS no COM
mnnity is more DESTROYS Of supporting her ac-
commodating merchants than the people OF
Loudoun, and they will rejoice as heartily in
her prosperity as will her own citizens.
