YEsTERDAY-The weather yesterday Was
clear, calm, and mild, and but for the snow
which covered the ground and rendered walk
ing disagreeable, the day would have been Il
delightful one Some few sleig CHS were on the
streets in the morning, but they soon cut through
to the rough cobble stones, and by noon had
nearly disappeared. A general thaw was in
progress, and the side walks and street cross
mos we're very slushy But few persons We're
on the streets. and though all the churches
we're open the congregations were smaller than
usual Communion services were held IN the
Episcopal and several other churches, and at
night the ceremony ofimmersiou was performed
in the Baptist Church. The follow ug is re-
port of the work done during the day by the
Young Mems Christian Association 1.-The
Aims House services were very efficiently work
ed, the attendance NOT so large on account OF
the walking. but the interest undated. At the
Jail full corps Of workers were on hand, the
exercises of unusual interest, one party pro-
ftSsed conversion, several asked an interest III
the prayers of the brethren, and the hearts OF
the latter weae fully encouraged to prosecute
the work with zeal and untiring energy. The
Sunday prayer meeting at the NJ. II. Church
was. Notwithstanding the State OF the walking,
very fully attended. The exercises were truly in
teresting, and one of the speakers, now on visit
to this city, alluded to the fact that thirty three
years ago he was converted at the altar OF the
Church 10 which he was speaking. This meet
ing will be held next Sunday in the I'd Pres
bvterian Church.

Personally estcrday brought to a close IN
this city, as pastor of the NJ. +. Church South,
the labors of DR.. r. R. s. Hough, who for the
past four years has ministered to that denomi-
nation in the Washington street church. The
closing sermon was appropriately preached
from the text, ''The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the love OF God and the communion
and fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with you
always amen" Dr. H. leaves Alexandria with
the good Wishes not only OF the members OF
his own church and those who listened to his
sermons, but of the entire community. During
a ministry of four years, the longest term al
lowed by the rules of the conference he has SC
conducted himself as to wln the respect OF all
An earnest preacher and diligent pastor, ne
has succeeded as no other minister probably
ever did before him in harmonizlng dlscordant
elements, and in putting in efficient working
condition the church under bis care. AS
self sacrificing worker, always at the service OF
the public, he will be sadly missed He carries
with him the earnest wishes OF the community
Tor his future success, and the devoted love OF
his congregation, to whom he has SO greatly
endeared himself Nothing is known as to who
will succeed him here.

are in the highest degree dangerous, and are
sure to leave sad traces of their poisonous action
in the system whether they arrest the parox,

fail to break up" intermittent and remlttent

which causes the chill, is the result of nervous
weakness, produced by the facilitating opera

tone and vigor given to the nervous system by
the Bltters, enable it to throw off the disease

PUTTING UP STovEs.-This is the season
for putting up stoves. An essay on the
subject will not be out of place. Here
is one from an exchange: If there is one
thing more abominable than an another
in domestic experience, it is the putting
up of stoves. Thousands of loving hus-
bands and wives have been separated for
no other reason than that this length OF
stovepipe was an inch too small, or thai
elbow happened to part at the joint just
because she or he happened to hit it with
the poker, in vain efforts to coax it over
the outside of the pipe several inches the
largest. Many noble hearted man has
lived and died an old bachelor on this ac-
count. The thought of having dear
little duck off wife grows pleasenter as
the weather grows colder the delusive
glow of minagry fresides, cushioned arm.

sort of thing, you know, crowd themsel-

single man ; but, oh the curse the abom
ination insurmounting, overpowering,
offsetting evil of that everlasting stove,
with its en- dless length of pipe and net.

The Political Aspect.

Well, the threatening danger is past
The political sky is clear for tne next four
years. We feel profoundly thankful t.
that Providence that has watched over the
destinies Of ourlpeopie, in not suffering
the moss wicked, unprincipled and corrupt
coalition to possess itself of the executive
and official control Of our national affairs,
that ever StrOve for power and pelf in our
own or any other country. Every branch
Of industry will now dismiss its fears and
resume its accustomed activity; every
American citizen, whatever be MS color or
condition, now feels that in the executive
and legislative powers of the government,
he has an invincible friend and protector
There will be no "On to Richmond" rush
to specie payments, and the credit
of the government faithfully admin
istered, without any cosrcive legislation,
paper guaranteed by the government to
an equality with gold. There will be no
foreign war, for the present administration
has inaugurated practical method of set
Ting international disputes, that bids fair
to abolish and antqIate the use of the
sword on such occasions The rebel debt
will pass into oblivion; the idea of receiv.
ing pay for cmancipated slaves, of extend
ing the pension laws to rebel soldiers viii
be surrendered even by rebels themselves
when the whole people understand that
any party composed of elements which
may even be suspected of such purposes
has no opportunity or the remotest chance
of filling the executive chair with candi
date in sympathy with such views.
Again, no political tricksters will ever
advance or insist on the insane and idiotic
idea that party or an individual can es-
cape the praise or blame of his past histo-
~. Horace Greeley was nominated by
the Liberal Convention in Cincinnati, not
because he was the sudden parturition OF
that body, whom the world had not seen
and actsd forty years anterior to that con-
vention, and its members knew his history
and vacilation, and supposed he was bet
ter adapted than any other man to carry
out their schemes. But the Abolitionists,
as soon as the canvas began, alb ndoned the
idea of.dating the birth and maturity Of
the American people and politicians in the
year 1872, and they industriously ex-
humed and dug up the stalest SANDERS in
vented BY malice against their opponents,
A generation since. Let every possible
political right enjoyed by American citi-
zens he accorded to jeff Davis and all his
.co-rebels; yet their contemporaries nor
posterity will ever honor them as those
who periled their lives to save the nation,
and enlarge the ares of freedom to en-
brace every human berg breathing Amer
ican air, and desiring the rights of citi-
zenship.
Mr.. Greeley .vainly attempted to oblit-
crate the past, re "a ding it as bloody
chasm" between the north and the south.
But the past is as firmly fixed in the
American mind as the A ghanian or the
Rocky Mountains upon their granite bases.
The laws Of the moral world are as firm
