The graduating exercises of the Normal and
Agricultural Institute established at Hamp-
ton, Va, for the education of colored youth,
closed on Thursday. The result was highly
creditable to teachers and pupils. DR.. Rather,
State Superintendent Of Education, addressed a
large audience present on the occasion, and
after speaking in the most favorable terms OF
the institution, and its practical benefits, said
"Our old State has entered honestly and un-
complainiugly upon the work of educating her
people, white and colored with impartiality to
the extent of her ability, and she intends to
keep on With it. He who says anything to the
contrary speaks untruthfully, or worse; but the
work is beyond her ability To do it as it oughtto
be done we must have larger aid, and | have
faith to believe that this aid will come, sooner
or later"

The election for Overseer of Roads in Nokes-
vile district, last Saturday, resulted In the
unanimous choice of Henry Wagner. lie has
filled the position before, much to the satlstac-
ton of everybody.
The new road from Greenwich to Nokesville
is being cut out, and there is petition IN cir
culation for continuation OF the same from
the station to the Milford road. We hope
that before next winter much needed farther
extension will be authorized through to Brents,
vile, where it will connect with the main road
to Occo1uau and Potomac City.
The Interua! Improvement fever is slightly
affecting us in this latitude. Surveys are about
TO commence on line of railway from Potomac
CITY to Harper's Ferry, in which the people OF
this section are deeply interested. Under the
auspices of such men as Arson Bangs and
Judge Nicol the project can scarcely fail OF
success if ably seconded by the energy and en-
terprise of the county, irrespective of location,
| as it will not only make accessible large tract
| of country now too distant from market to be
profitable, but will also afford the shortest prac-
| ticable route from the Cumberland and Penn
sylvauian coal mines to tide water at Potomac
| City. An experiment is being made OF send
ing milk to Washington, the success of which
is still doubtful. A cooperative movement on
the part of the farmers for the transportation
and sale of farm produce would probably insure
| its success.

APPALLING SU1cIDE.-A terrible tragedy
was enacted this morning at Ainsworth Station

like charge of electricity, thrill Of horror
throughout the entire community. When the

ed by dark and threatening clouds, revealed a
wife and husband at that thriving SUI urb en-
gagged in domestic turmoil Before the orb Of
husband was wifeless, and horribly maDgled

that could be gathered At an early hour

beyond endurance. put on bonnet and shawl,
stating as she departed, "Good- bye you will

COMMUNICATED
The w. e. o. Il. Il.

OF the many plans and suggestions made to
improve our city, such as Touring mills, cotton
and shoe factories furnaces, machine shops,
ship-yards, and coal transportation companies;
all good and very desirable, yet all combined
would not be equivalent to the completion Of
the Washington and Ohio Railroad to the iron
and coal fields of West Virginia. One thing is
certain; as soon as said road penetrates the
minerals of West Virginia, aid Alexandria
made the grand depot to receive the same for
reshipment, the erection of Touring mills, fur
naces, ship yards, &C. will speedily follow.
Hence, it behooves every citizen and friend OF
Alexandria to advocate and labor without ceas
ing for the extension of this road. Would it
not be we'll to have grand mass meeting at
Sarepta Hall, at an early day, to discuss and,
if possible, secure strong and united action IN
favor of an object so desirable, and so essential
to the prosperity of this and future generations.
The great and noble scheme of continuous
iron track from our fine harbor to the iron and
coal fields of West Virginia should create inter-
est enough to secure large and earnest de-
monstration in aid of the scheme. How natur-
oil and how frequently We hear one citizen com
plain of another citizen for the want of zeal and
libarality to improve the city; and the ones who
complain the most are generally those who
should themselves be the first on the list to ad-
vance and offer material aid. What is wanted
is concert of action; an ardent desire and effort
Oh the part ofevery man to invest every spare
dollar to complete this great enterprise. The
coal and iron fields of West Virginia possess
more real wealth than the gold mines of Cali
foruia, and nothing can be more certain than a
return of prnci pal and interest for every dollar
invested in railways over which these immense
deposits of minerals and timber will find quick
and reliable market Business men of Alex
andria, what say you to mass meeting in be-
half Of the w. & 0. r. R. and other i'm
provements? CITIZEN.

Of the fifty millions of 6ve-tweuty bonds
called in on March l, about ten millions are
yet out, although the interest ceased on the
first of this month. The impression that the
call for twenty millions of fve-twenties issued

prospective payment of the Geneva award by
Great Britain is pronounced by the Secretary
