thousands whose habitual condition Is one OF

mental or sensuous pleasure to their more ro-

NIGHT TRAINS TO WAsHINGToN.-We learn
that the managers of the Alexandria and
Washington railroad contemplate running local
trains on that road at night at an early date.
They will, no doubt, be vel! patronized, as
many of our citizens are often detained in
Washington after night and are forced to wait
for the Southern express train. 1t will also be
an inducement to persons who do business in
Washington to reside in this city where rents
and living generally are so much cheaper.
