TO tie Editor orthe National Republican:
Sin: Your correspondent IA, !" writing from this

abouts in the compass ofa day. He Is quite right
in saying that the village IL pleasant one, and
pleasantly located, twenty miles from Al
exandria, directly on the Washington and Ohio
railroad, and fourteen miles below Leesburg. As
he has omitted some points Of interest In connec-
tion with our locality, will supply them, they
may demonstrate to others that We are growing,
and are not much, IL any, behind Falls Church,
some ten miles below us. At the close Of the war
your eye around, you would have counted three
buildings within radius Of mile. Now, from
the same spot, you can count thirty-ive or forty,
with . large steam saw-milI. two churches. three
stores, blacksmith and wheelwright shop, and
some very pretty private dwellings, two Of them
quite attractive-thnt Of DR.. Walk, west of the
railroad. and Mr.. .DOwing's, east Of II. Beyond
farms and very good nursery Of fruit trees, &C.,
Mr.: Caywood's. The post office Is in the depot,
and Mr.. Stephen killian, postmaster, is o most
excellent citizen. The location Of the village Is
most healthy one, and fine building sites can be
had In any direction ut very reasonable rates. Mr.
St. John can accommodate all who may desire to
locate here. Most Of the residents In and about
Herndon are Northern menaMessrs. Gilbert,
Urich, Laonhart, Raub. Lacey, Farnham, Crounse,
Paine, Bell, Hindle, Clark, Taylor, Roby, SWEET
