Fate OF Wicked Town.

Alexandria Gazette
Perhaps ono of the prettiest spots in
this or any other state is the old and
dilapidated village of Hopewe!l, situ-
ated as it is in u cleft of the Bull Run
Mountains, embracing some 500 acres
known as the "Hopewell" Valley, sur
rounded on all sides by lofty eminences
and pyramids of stone. The fertility
of this valley is proverbial. Divided
among many small farmers, each main
tains for himself sturdy inde-
pendence. Thirty years ago this vii
iage boasted of stores, mills, tanneries,
factories and hotels, in value hundreds
of thousands. To-day scarce one stone
remains on another to mark her former
splendor. But in the place of art
gentle nature has lavished her every
charm; myriads Of flowers extend in
every direction, while the flying spray
from the falling cascades gives to them
a delicacy of perfume and brilliancy OF
appearance surprising description.
This town attributes its downfall-like
unto that of Sodom and Gomorrah-to
the wickedness of its inhabitants. No
stranger who valued his life dared
enter its limits or pass its confines, SO
lawless were its people. Nothing now
remains Of this. Four years Of civil
strife swept Hopewell as clean as Her
cules did the Augean stables.

New YORK is ono of the richest
states in America, yet few of its citi.
zens realize what au amount of pauper-
ism it has, and how its Industrious pee-
pie are taxed for the support of the
poor, the sick, the dcmcntcd, and the
unfortunate. During the fiscal year of
1882 the state expended S9,S2O, 1856 for
the relief of these people. These ex-
penses do not include the vast sums
given by voluntary associations,
churches, and individuals.

The sentencing of NJ. P. Kay to
fifteen years hard labor in San
Quinten, for defalcation and for
gerry in the Auditors Office Of Ala
media county, CAL, is q judicial
outrage. There seems to have been
no attempt made to prove that the
Indictment was defective. There
might have been an somewhere
which was not properly crossed.
The foreman of the jury might have
lad trouble years ago with Kays
second cousin, and if so there ought

venue. If the Clerk of the Court
did not sign the order of sentence
in the same kind of ink the sem
tence was written il, Kay has ample
grounds for a new hearing. It is
quite evident that Kay's lawyers
were not wide awake or that the
man who Was deputised to sack the
jury took the money and left the
country. If it can be proven that
the latter theory is true Kay should

if Jones and Sharon each come into

States Express Company's money
carrier, Alexander Granger, re-
ceived sundry packages of money
and other valuables from the east
bound Lake Shore train at the
Union Depot this morning, and put
them in a buggy standing outside.
Somebody from the ice room called
to him and, nobody being in sight,
he stepped O little way from
the vehicle to ascertain who
called. Returning he drove to
the express company's main
Office, and there discovered that
two bags similar to the company's
pouches, but filled with brown pa
per, had beeu substituted for two
containing money. It is supposed
that the robbery had been carefully
planned by experts and executed
at the moment Changers attention
was diverted. The missing pouches
are said to contain in the neighbor-
hood of $15. 900 in thirty packages,
remittances from railway stations
on the Lake Shore and between
Chicago and Toledo to head
quarters. The amount cannot be
definitely known for some days.
Much of the remittances are

The great South is entering upon an era of

circulation OF any paper published in the
United States, and these letteas will appear
