Wolfe:
On our trip over the line last week,
Mr.. Williams and ourself were we'll used
and literally dealt with at the Twin Val
ley House in West Alexandria, and we
feel like speaking a good word for the
house and its gentlemanly proprietors.
Mayor Holt issued warrants last Mon
day morning for the arrest of Jacob Pat
~terson, John Wade, Joseph Nelson and
Geo. Holland, all colored, charged with
drunkenness and disturbing a colored re-
ligious meeting ON Sabbath evening.
Holland was mon est" Patterson was
fined $40 and costs and committed for
want of the stamps, and Wade and Mel
son were discharged.
New stock of glassware and queens
ware at F. P. Filbert's.
Our philosopher observes that a man
who, in the face of all that is solemna and
sacred, makes religion a loaf to feed up
on, burrowing in a-ehurch as a maggot
in fair fruit, and concealing his foulness
while polluting that which is lovely, ere
ates a repugnance beyond that which at
taches to the lowest thief. Hypocrisy is
a crime which most ofends God and
man, as it both carries and ~conceals
guilt.
The Church of Christ-in Eaton was
dedicated last Sabbath, Ed. 7. D. GAR
WIN delivering a very beautiful and inter
esting sermon. The house was filed to
its full capacity and every body present
seemed to be well pleased with the SER
vices. Over $500 was raised on the oc-
~casion, which amount comes within a
hundred dollars of liquidating the entire
debt of the building. 1t is a very pleas,
ant place of worship and an ornament to
our city, and we are really pleased that
it is in such a ~prospeetively Furnishing
condition.
The el~ectionsfor Corporation officers,
this spring viii be an important one.
Besides the Mayor and Marshal, there
will be four Ceuncilmen to elect. 1t is
important that we elect a class of wise,
discreet and active men, who will fill the
positions impartially and without favor.
Let no narrow, prejudiced, selfish inter.
est Influence the selections, but let us as
citizens choose our best men, and if par
ty lines must be drawn, which we hope
not, let US select the best men the party
possesses. Tt is the duty of every tax
payer to consider this matter carefully.
Superintendents of the Insane Asy-
lums of the State, have. issued notice to
the effect that they propose TO strictly n
force the new law which requires the
friends or those having custody of insane
persons committed to the Asylum, to
provide the patients with proper clothing
and pay their travelling and incidental
expenses until lodged in the Asylum. In
case such friends or custodians fail to pay
such expenses, the Steward is to furnish
the clothing and pay the expenses from
the Asylum appropriation and the Audi
tor of the county from which the patient
is sent must reimburse the institution
and collect in the same other
county debts are collected.

A very pleasant surprise party came
off at the residence of c. F. Brooke,
Esq, on Thursday night OF last week. 1t
was in honor of his wifc's birthday, but
as ladies never tell their age after "sweet
sixteen. we are unable to say the num-
Der of years the celebration was intend
ed for. The affair was a success. being
a complete surprise to Mrs. Brooke. The
large tables were loaded with the choicest
refreshments of which all seemed to en-
joy. The party continued until a late
hour, every one regretting to leave, but

brances of the evening just passed, and
wishing Mrs. Brooke long life and many
more such pleasant birthdays.
