a REMARKAGLE METEoR-ITs EXPLOSION
NEAR FAIRFAX CoURTHousE.-Atout7 O'Clock
Wednesday evening, King street being ct
the time crowded with persons seeking the
stores OF enjoying the ChriStmas-eve sights.
meteor Of most remarkable size and bril-.
liancy shot athwart the sky from east to
west directly over the city. From the fol-
lowing account received from our watchful
correspondent at Fairfax Courthouse it will
be seen that the meteor came TO its end by
explosion near that place. It was unGoubt.
etly the same one seen heie, time and drec-
ton of course both agreeing. It sets us 10
thinking seriously and wondering what
these aerial tcrrors are. We shall expect to
hear that some OF the remains have been
found. Our correspondent, under date of
yesterday, says:
LAST evening at about O'Clock, amid
the general cracking Of firc-crackcrs and
other demonstrations usual to our Christmas
festivities, our people were startled by 8
shock which seemed to shake the around
and ratified the windows Of every house.
There were various surnlses az to the cause,
and some were confident al earthquake had
occurred. A bright light preceded the OK
plosion Il few seconds. and it was succeeded
by rushing noise like high wind through
a forest. II is evident it proceeded from q
meteor. Several persons away from the vii.
lage observed it, and described it AZ 4 ball OF
fire, passing swiftly through the heavens
and exploding when near the Garth. Fer
sons i'll their houses supposed some heavy
body had fallen upon the roof, and rushed
10 see what the matter was, to hear only the
rushing sound as it, died away ia the dis.
tance.'

Docs vs.. SHEEp.-Last week a tue flock of
sheep belonging to Mrs. Charles B. Nc
Clung, three miles from Lexington, num-
boring nineteen head, was killed, except
three, by dogs. The night after, the dogs
came back to finish up the work.
The Legislature bias allowed the worth
less ours to destroy thousands on thousands
of dollars of property and break up to nc
small extent the valuable sheep husbandry
of the State. The land is filled with loose
"yaller" dogs, making wool-groWing pre-
carIous industry and depriying the farmers
of the benefit of their pastures for this pro-
fitable business. ... .-.s

! WASHINGTON, December 26.~The Govern.
nent has determined TO institute proceed.
| lngs against the steamer virginius IL the
United States District Court for the Eastern
District OF New York. The suit will be for
| violation Of the registry laws, and the pa.
| pers IN the case are now being prepared DC
the Department Of Justice. IL convicted
the vessel Will be forfeited 10 the United
States. No steps have az yet been taken to
institute proceedings against the alleged

him. 49,, ,.,... i. .s.-s
President Graat is reported to have said
recently TO a German gentleman visiting
this country rs an agent of Dutch capitalists
to inquire into American railroad securities
that in his opinion railroads ought not to be
built hereafter until the people have money
10 pay for them without calling on the Gov.
ernmcnt for aid.
The decided indications which have of late
como from influential congressman as to the
imperative necessity Of retrenchment in
tho Government departments here have
been the cause Of much fear and trembling
among the host OF official hangers on. II Is
very certain that the public service would
suffer in no degree By the entire eX-
cislon Of the mass Of parasites which for
80 long has been drawing its sustenance
from the public treasury. But it is the opin-
ion that retrenchment should not stop with
the abolition of unnecessary clerkshps in
The departments. but that the good work
should extend through all the navy-yards,
post-olfices, and cuStom-houscs throughout
the country. Vast amounts cln be saved by
regulating the expenses Of these SO as 10 con-
form TO the actual requirements of work
rather than TO continue them rs aSylums for
personal dependents, and political % strihcrs.'
IL is thought now also by many independent
Republican congressman that there is no
better title than the present for the Presi-
deaf 10 take decided stand, and 10 remove
The civil service Of the Government from
n! connection with and subservience 10 local
politics.
II is understood AT the Pos. Office Depart
ment that when the PoStmaster-Ge Or
dered IN examination Of all the special agents
how employed i was not intended that any
whose efficiency have been proved by actual
service should be removed On the contra
~, efficiency will count largely in making
up the details OF the examination, and no
chicia! need fear that any individual will be
p'aced over him, Or get a position now held,
simply because he may be fresh from school.
ana may have more accurate knowledge Of
geography or grammar. Practical knowl-
edge and past efficiency will rank high in the
scale.
