DRAINING BEER KEGS-ln New York it
is said many persons make respectable
living by starting ont early in the morning
with two large buckets and draining all the
beer kegs found in front of saloons. This
beer is taken to the quarters inhabited by
organ grinders, banana men, scissors grind
ers, &c, and retailed at one cent per glass.
While no one hereabouts collects such
liquids for sale, it is becoming the habit OF
some of Alexandria's promising youth to re-
pair to the pavements Of certain saloons
whore empty kegs have been placed, and
drink all that can be drained from them.
On saturday night some precocious young
sters were engaged in this enterprise, one
holding hat while the other held up the
keg and patiently extracted every drop OF
the liquid that had remained in it. The
couple then drank from the hat by turns
until the supply was exhausted.

New Doors FOR THE MARKET HOUSE.
Among the petitions presented to the City
Council at its meeting Tuesday night was
one from number of hucksters praying
that body to do away with the doors now
in the Market Building and substitute in
their place double ones, working on springs
and opening both ways. The hucksters IN
their communication say that during cold
weather it takes considerable portion OF
their time during market hours to shut the
present doors. This has been subject oil
complaint ever since the erection of the new
Market Building. The doors are double
and slide from side to side, often coming to-
pether With rush, endangering the fingers
of those working them. a colored man,
huckster, had one of his fingers taken en-
tirely oil in attempting to close one of them
some years ago. Council referred the mat
ter to the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund.

after his speech at the Opera House, Mr.

house at Charlottesville for their meeting to-
night, and that if Foraker refused to divide
time he would have to speak out of doors.
He said that Mr.. Foraker would be courte-
ously received but that the people of Able
marie had no idea of his coming there and
making such speeches as ne had made else.
where without being answered. Mr.. Mas

He said he thought he knew of four demo-
Gratis from the Southwest who would be
elected in the places Of Mahoneites who last

OFFICE SUPT. OF PUBLIC INST,
YANkToN, Dec. 3rd, 1884. :
To County Superintendents.-I our
attention is especially requested to
the township bond law. This office is
informed it Is being violated in
various WAYS resulting i'll loss of
credit. Those who bid down the
prizes of these good bonds are doing
all the people great wrong.
The bonds should sell according
to law or not at all They are worth
par. Many thousands sold ut par,
less , per cent commission. Other
sellers have deprecated them by
haste to sell, by trading them like
doubtful paper for high priced goods,
thereby bidding down the public
credit. The few who did this have
stopped many others from legitimate
sale and put sharp speculation III the
market instead OF honest bankers
and investors.
Word comes that my name has
been used as 4 seller Of large blocks
Of these bonds 1T low rates. This
false report is put forth to deceive
honest township officers.
DO not permit the sale Of another
bond for anything but money, and at
lawful rates, if you can prevent it.
There is no other way. The law YOU
are sworn To obey requires it. Take
all chance Oh the side of I he Law,
and let not the peoples substance he
wasted.
II officers persist III open violation
Of the law, seek their removal from
office
