The former part, delivered two weeks since,
was very good. In the latter part tne
Doctor gave the 'best wine." The two
parts made the whole lecture of great prac-
teal value. The Doctors originality, Wit
and rendition, united with his command
ing presence, good voice and earnest force
will not be forgotten, but will always DC
desired by the good people of Alexandria.

TIE MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN.-The election
which is to come off here on next Thu! sday
y causing very little excitement. 1t is not
.bonpht there will be large vote polled,
he estimate being fixed at 230O. The only
oifce for which the aspirations of the demo.
oratic candidate is 30 far contested is that of
Wsvor. where Mr.. R. T. Lucas, who was
esriy in the field as an independent caudi-
dere will make a contest with Mr.. John 3.
Smoot the democratic nominee. The total
vote polled at the late primary election was
! 49, while Cleveland received l, $50 votes
a, the election for President. II has always
been found impracticable to get out full
vote at the municipal election, although the
total vote of the city is about 3 600; yet IN The
Nlsyoralty contest between Beckhem and
Harmon the total vote Was only 1860. The
total vote Of Alexandria at the late presi-
Dental election WAS 3,0l6. That Mr.. Smoot
will be elected by good majority there
seems little doubt, though Mr.. Lucas is
making an active personal canvass, and an
effort is on foot to make this contest one of
labor against capital-Mr. Lucas posing as
the friend Of labor. This silly notion may
catch few foolish voters, but the majority
of the ruen now are too sensible TO be caught
by -;lch threadhare argument The sug-
geStlun maze Co-Gay ny ponce oUCer, lual

Que and permanently sileuced" the man
who WAS so opposed. This is bad year
for independents" for now the demo-
Gratis are ION top" and the average voter
likes To b. on the stroug side, and he knows
that if he should hereafter want anything,
either under the national, State or city gov
eminent, his record will have to be clear or
he won't get it. The independents" have
no 'induceme to offer now, and the
trick of promising the same place to forty
voters can not even be played.

A Big Storm.

Reports from Wheeling state that the
storm last Saturday was very violent
i'm that locality. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were blown down, the
bakery of John Pracht was unroofed
aud demolished and the marble works
of Howell Brothers was leveled to the
ground. The tower of the capitol build
ing was badly shattered and the heavy
glass dials of the clock driven in. Re-
ports from surrounding places tell OF
great damage in every direction. At
st. Clairsvile the ST. Clair and National
hotels were unroofed with great loss.
At the latter, after the roof disappeared,
huge chimney toppled over and crush
ed through two stories, part of it pass
ing through the room occupied by the
chambermaids, even demolishing the
bed, but missing the occupants.
AT Moundsville the McFadden House
was unroofed and several dwelling
houses destroyed. Along the lowlands
of the river the wind became perfect
blizzard and flattened out barns, sheds
and fences in its course, but without
loss of life. .......

+ A dispatch from Parkersburg this
State, says: The attention of Sheriff
Smith was attracted Sunday evening by
n poem written by a Jail prisoner named
Campbell, which displayed remarkable
talent. 1t led the correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times to see the poe:, when
to his surprise he learned the man is a
vertable grandson Of the poet Thomas
Campbell, which he proves satisfactO-
rily, yet he is in Jail on a charge of
chicken-stealing. He was born in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, and coming quite
Young to America served through the
war for the Union and in the battle of
the Wilderness received wound, for
which he now draws II pension. After
the war he studied medicine at Paris
and Berlin and received diploma from
each university. Hepracticed medicine
at GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati, and lost
his Office material and stock of drugs at
the latter place in the great flood of last
year. Taking to drink he fell very low,
and finally took to trading on the river,
beginning &C Steubenville, where his
little child was burned to death. This
child was the daughter Of his wife, a
daughter of Captain Thompson, of the
Sixty-third Pennsylvania Infantry, and
II prominent society lady of Pittsburg.
At this place Campbell WAS entangled
i'm a chicken theft, the chickens having
been found in his boat, but he is conf
dent ofacquital. He has the documents
to substantiate his story.

LippincOtl's Magazine.

Lippincott's Magazine for February
opens with ;he second installment of
the amusing international story "On
this Side" Introducing Sir Robert
Heathcote and his party on their arrival
in New York and while gaining their
first impressions of American manners
and customs. The writer's intimate ac-
quaintance with English types and mod
els is exhibited not merely in the ma
.ional habits of thought and speech
common to all the characters, but i'm
the wise discrimination with which
their different Municipalities, repre-
sensations Of distinct types, are brought
out and contrasted. Under the title of
"Steerage to Liverpool, and Return, >
Thomas Wharton gives graphic ac-
count of his experiences on board the
"Orgeon" Sed the ALASKA" and man
ages to convey the impression that for
real enjoyment and opportunities of see
ing life the steerage is to be preferred
to the saloon on transatlantic voyage.
In an article on "rhe representation of
the People in Parliament" Prof. d. B.
King sketches the successive steps in
the history of this subject, from the
first admission of burgesses into the
House Of Commons, in the thirteenth
century, down to the recently-enacted
bill extending the franchise to the
whole body of householders. The
Prussian Civil Service is described by
Alfred G.. Lee. Miss Brewster has an
entertaining article on old Paris and its
associations, and two very agreeable
papers on "Cats and Poetsn and {" Fs-
thetic Children" with some excellent
short stories poems, and sketches, help
to diversity the contents.

Great excitement prevails in st. AL
bans, w. Va, over the poisoning OF
Annie, Blanche and Jennie Burns,
three highly respected young ladies o
that place. They had been to an enter
tainment the other night and oversight
themselves the next morning. They
prepared their own breakfast, using
water from barrel. Shortly after
breakfast they became very sick, with
symptoms indicating poison. They were
treated by doctors for that trouble.
Upon examination, the water in the
barrel was found to contain arsenic.
How it got there is a mystery. The
victims are In serious condition.
