THE MILITARY SCHOOL, AT ALEXANDRIA.
The fity-second year will begin on MONDAY,
SEPTEMBER 1st, and end about the 18th of
Juno, 1885.
The barracks on Prince street having, notwith-
standing three enlargcmcnts become too small
to accommodate the increasing patronage the
large building on Duke and Columbus streets,
erected for the old Alexandria High School, has
been leased, and will be used in connection with
them The spacious grounds there will give
ample room for recreation and drill and the room
system will be substituted for the dormtory.
The school is finely equipped with apparatus,
cabinets, library. &c, aud its past success is an
earnest of its future usefulness. The Principal
has had nearly forty years experience in the man
agemcnt of boys and young men, and is aided BY
young and competent assistants. The proverbial
hcalthfuncss of Alexandria, its pure water, and
it's great accessibility emineutly fit it for school
purposes. oo = :,

THE w. O. & w. Il. R-A marked i'm
provement is apparent in the management
of the Washington, Ohio and Western Rail-
road. New steel rails have been laid over
a portion of tho tracks, some new engines
have been purchased, the old wooden
bridges 10 many places along the road have
been removed aud solid ones of stone or iron
have been constructed in theirstead and the
schedule for the running of trains has been
altered to accord more with the convent
ence of the public. Two passenger trains
are now running each way on Sundays,
where formerly there was only one. On
SATURDAYS there is an extra coach put on
the afternoon train for the accommodation
of the large number of persons going out of
town to remain over till Monday. The
road runs through two of the richest coun-
ties in Virginia-Fairfax and Loudoun-
the latter especially is not surpassed IN
richness of soil and beauty OF scenery, by
any county in the State. Many families
prefer Loudoun county as summer retreat
to the more fashionable mountain or sea-
side resorts of the North. In fact, the
houses that take boarders along the line of
the road are crowded with people to their
full capacity. The road to the present
time extends to within few miles of the
base of the Blue Ridge, but when completed

On Monday evening, No. Q mber 10th,
the Kiralfy Brothers. under the man.
agement Of Nixon g. Zimmerman, will
produce Siebs," At the Academy oil
Music, Philadelphia. This 10 the grand
est spectacular drama ever witnessed
on any stage, and some idea of Its mag.
nitude can be found, from the fact that
six car loads OF scenery, about 500 peo-
pie, and more than thousand electric
lights will be used In its production. In
this grand play. the Kiralfy's have sur
passed all former efforts, and Michael
Strogofi," with all Its grandeur, +" Jal
ma" and " Excelsior" In all their mag
nidoence, fade into insignifcance. A
fortune was spent in preparing 1t for
the stage. and when it was fret pre-
sented In New York, 1t took the critics
by surprise, and they were unable to
and words TO express their admiration.
Wilmingtonians will have an excellent
opportunity to witness this play, ~
they can secure seats by mail, and go
up on the SO p. m. express, and re-
turn at II o'clock.

For nearly three months past the
work of grading and putting Mary land
avenue in substantial condition has
boon progressing slowly, and from pres
ent indications the work will not be
completed short Of Christmas, II in.
deed 1t is then, as considerable work
yet remains to be done. The street has
been graded and filled up in such .
manner a. to be scarcely recognizable
from the once billy and stony thorough.
fare, and the chairman OF the Opening
Streets COMMITTEES, Mr.. Newell, 10 do
serving Of credit for having this much
used avenue put In . good condit ion.
His part of the work has been
finished for some time, and the remain.
der of the work Is now in charge Of the
Street Committee, who should use
every effort tn push the work rapidly
forward to completion before bad
weather sets in, for II continued wet
spell should overtake them before the
work Is completed there ia every indi.
cation that the road bed would be III .
deplorabls condition and In some
places aln "-t impossible. At present
there IL .i,ly small force of workmen
engage" III the thoroughfare and ut
this rate it will take some time to com.
plet+ The job. These men are now en-.
ga I'd in spreading broken stone over
The centre of the street, which is about
one foot In thickness over this will be
spread about six inches of .maller
stones, while the sides will be properly
paved, curbstOnes set and cutters laid.
With the eighteen inches of stone
properly packed. II Is thought q sub.
stantial road bed will be maize, through
which 1t will be- difficult for wagons to
cut, although some doubt this
assertion. In conjunction with the
above Improvements it b. came necessa-
~ to extend the sewer, which crosses
Maryland avenue 1t Beech street some
eighteen feet. and the Sewer Com mittee
have been granted authority TO have the
work done, but rs yet nothing has been
done towards extending the same, not.
withdrawing the fact that three weeks
have elapsed since the order was
granted.
In Its present condition the sides OF
the sewer are In q dangerous condition,
especially on q dark night, and shou Id
an accident happen at this place the
city would be liable for damages. Lot
the work Of extending this culvert be
attended to at once and the entire job oil
putting the street in q substantial con.
dition be executed as speedily as posi-.
BILE, thereby avoiding all accidents and
danger of bad roads, which will in the
end be q saving to the city. The work
Of grading and filling in this. avenue
which was creditable job, should moi
be spoiled merely for the want of q
sufficient force of workmen to complete
the same in q short space of time.
