ton with the subject Of the steeple soon to be
erected upon the New Market House Building
city, the following, taken from Harper Maya
zine Of April 1853 may prove not uninterest-
ling:
'While the magnificent steamship Baltic, Of
the Collins liue of American steamers, was on
her trip up the Potomac river to Washington,
some twelve months age, and had approached
near the town of Alexandria, Virginia, a group
Of passans ers were entertained b. the following
amusing story, connected with the Tu%u Hall
OF the place, large and imposing structure,
ornamented with a clock and steeple:
The town had been recently visited by sever
al gamblers from the Southwest, who, like
their master. the devil, had come thither,
''seekiug whom they might devour." At
leugth respectable citizen, IN au evil hour,
fell iuto the snare which had been set for him,
and after series Of adverse games, carried on
GA different nights, he found himself teeced
out Of the handsome sum of some three thous-
and dollas and upward. This he was obliged
to pay, aud did pay, although not very willing
ly, probably But having ''staked his money
upon the cast" he was too honorable as it
is called, not to stand the hazard Of the die.
DuG u lucky tuuuSHl Sudolcu u.u ~ UlluS
about his revengts
He had somehow or other ascertained that
there was an old law in Virginia, established
while she was yet colony. in which it was
made and provided that if any man could
not show that he was pursuing some lawful
means Of obtaining livelihood, he should be
sold, or hired out at auction, to prevent by
his labor his becoming chargeabc to the town.
A complaint was therefore Immediately enter
ed against the gamester by his victim; he was
arrested tried, and condemned to be sold at
public auction.
Here was a dilemma The gambler Was
disposed, at first, to treat the whole matter
joke but he soon found out his mistake.
He was taken to public stand, put up for
sale, aud the bidding began-the sale percmp.
tory - His victim started the bids with.
"One hundred dollars y
Two hundred, said the other And so
the gamester and his victim went on bidding,
until the amouns hade reached two thousand
dollars, when the former begged to be ''et off,
pleading poverty, but all would not do. There
was no alternative; he must either be forced
into service of degrading labor, under the
supervision Of a man who had small cause to
love him, or he must go on Guttting for himself,
which he was actually compelled to d. uutll
the sum had reached three thousand five hun
dred dollars, when he was permitted to depart
from the town by his prosecutor, who gave the
proceeds of the sale to the city, which was APP
piled to the building OF the stceple and clock Of
the very town. hall which had attracted the
attention OF the passengers
1t is said that ever since this occurrence,
Alexandria has bccu considered very poor

SPECIAL NOTICES.

lnS-SUGGESTIoNs FOR SUMMER.-Itis IF great
Importance that the system should be In vigor
Gus condition when the hot weather commences.
The effects of high temperature upon an enfee-
hled frame are always more or less disastrous.
The loss of substance and the declension of ner-
yous power, occasioned by excessive heat, can
only he compensated by the active, healthful
and regular exercise Of all the bodily functions
by which the waste of nature is replenished and
the vital energies renewed. The great utility of
Host"tter's Stomach Bitters Il means of ton
ing, invigorating and regulating the organs OF
the body, Is universally acknowledged As
tonic it stimulates the tagging appetite and &C
celebrates digestion as corrective it neutralizes
aciiity of the stomach and relieves hatulency !;
as An Alternative and mild aperent it regulates
the liver and the bowels; as an anodyne 1t pro-
it imparts frmncss and elasticity to the relaxed
and trembling nerves, and as blood dcpuren.
it purifes the vital streeul. The value of such q
specific to the weak and debilitated is beyond all
estimate. To invalids wilted down by the sui
try heat of midsummer, it is as refreshing and
scorched flowers Composed of vegetable eie-
ments only, with basis of pure dltusve stimu-
liant, it is safe and palatable well rs medicinal
In fever and asue districts, and wherever the
