STONE TRADE ACTIVE.

There seems to be a little more activity
in the stone trade within the last few days
Messrs. McClenahan & Bro. have made a
large sale of Belgian paving blocks to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. to go to
Pittsburgh, and are shipping from five to
ten Car loads a day via the Columbia &
Port Deposit railroad. On Tuesday last,
the train brought down ten stone cars, ar
irving at the quarry at leo P. NJ, which
were put on their siding. At P. NJ the
cars were all loaded aud hauled away by
the returning train. The same thing was
done on Thursday. Ten cars were loaded
in from thirty to forty minutes. We call
that pretty fast work, but it can be done
every day, if the cars are put in.
THE POLITICAL CAULDRON
Is beginning to boil, if we may Judge from
indications thrown out by the party man
ayers. The Potter Investigators have let
loose the game, and the hue and cry is
taken up by the whippers-in, and-well
Mr.. Hayes is up there, and can look down
at all the bowling and fuss. Keep cool,
gentlemen of all parties. Hayes is Presi-

without success, and as the season closes

Professor Baird, of the Smithsonian

sion, at Havre de Grace, on Friday of last
week. The Commission is actively en-
gagged in Matching shad eggs at that place
The young shad, nearly million of which
are hatched each day, are sent to the prin,
cipal streams in the south and southwest
with view of stocking them with this
fish, it being the theory of naturalists that
shad will continue to frequent the water in
which they are placed when qnite young.

The Huntou Controversy.

Mr.. COLUMBUS ALEXANDERS LATEST CARD.
Mr.. Columbus Alexander, in last evening s
Alexandria Gazette, has a card oftwo columns
in answer to that of Gen. Eppa Hunton, pub
lShed on Friday. Mr.. Alexander carried his
card from Washington to Alexandria yeSter-
day himself. Gen. Hunton was at Orange
Court House, Va. Mr.. Alexander denies in
this publication that he declined to accept
HuntOnS challenge, but says he has as much
right to fear the Alexandria police as Hunton
had to fear those Of the District of Columbia.
He concludes by saying:
WhO is malicious liar, a vulgar black
guard, and an irresponsible coward is not
necessary for me to say! So much about that
personal difficulty between General Hunton
and myself. But politically l cannot let him
go. He is the friend of the various District
rings: has always voted for them and against
the honest people of this DStrict has only re-
Gently not merely voted for, but engineered

Warded with most extensive ring patronage
and Tor that and other similar reasons we ask
our Virginia nelghbOrS and kinSmen to keep
him at home. Our proof for these assertions
IS the congressional Record and other sources
the support he gets from the ring papers, and
his own silence, though l have made these
charges against him in my second letter In
