GUARDED EY OwLs.-A small item in
Yesterdays GAZETTE stated that one OF two
white owls which had been living in the Pi-
oneer Mills some time had been captured
The capture was the occasion of some little
excitement and merriment, it seems. For
long time the mills have been regarded as
haunted by the colored stevedores who work
around the wharf, some positively refusing
TO ply their vocation in or around tho build
ing All sorts of tales have been told of I'M
natural noises heard therein, a few averring
that something white" had also been seen
in one of the upper rooms. Yesterday a
gang of colored workmen determined to
brave the consequences and convey some
bags of grain to the supposed haunted
apartment. so each shouldered a bag, and
started in single file up stairs, but upon ar
irving at the landing at the head of the
steps their ears were greeted by peculiar
hooting sound, which caused the eye balls
of the gang 10 distend and their hair to as
sumo a perpendicular position. A stam-
pcde followed, and darkies and grain bags
tumhied pell-mell down the steps together.
After being laughed at by some friends for
their alleged cowardice, the party subse.
Guently summoned up courage to ascend
tn" stairs again, and the more venturesome
grew bold enough to turn an eye into the
haunted" apartment, when they discover
I'd the cause Of all the trouble-two white
owls sitting in lonely grandeur, indignant
ut having their ancient. solitary reign mo-
ested." One Of the birds was captured, but
the other made it's escape from window
and was seen no more.

AN OLD-TIME INDUsTRY.-In yes!er-
davis GAZETTE notice of the death IN Bal
timore of Mr.. William Dean appeared. The
deceased was in his seth year, and will he
remembered by many of our older citizens
a. member of the long extinct firm of Dean,
Harmon 4 Smith, shoe manufacturers, who
commenced business in an old sugar house
on north Alfred street, on the site of which
the dwelling of Mr.. George B. Cochran now
stands The factory was put in operation
in the year 1885, and employed number of
iourneymen and about fifty apprentices. In
\ year or so the business of the factory as
sumed such proportions that the proprietors
deemed the sugar house 100 contracted tor
their trade and determined to build an edi-
flee peculiarly adapted to their wants, and
the erection of the building now occupied
he Mr., Il. Wheatley as an undertaker's es-
enlistment was the result, to which place
the enterprise was removed and the business
successfully prosecuted unit! the year 1871,
when. from Northern competition or other
causes the Alexandria manufacturers found
their products uuremuueratire, ard the
rity's "ptu factory" went TO decay. Nearly
three score Youngsters had gained an insight
into shoe making by this time, anu some
stuck TO the last" but the majority driiied
into other occupations, and though nall a
century has elapsed since this corps Of peg
gers rled their occupation, death has dealt
very leniently with them, and in bringing
IN mind those still in the land of the living
wa were rather surprised at being able TO
name 50 many. Among those who former
IL ver, anprcn,ices may be mentioned John
6 Phillips, John Payne, Thomas Cross, VIM.
Darl.v Char Hall. Lemucl Robey, Henry
Holt George Brooks, Lemuel Cook, Alfred
Jacobs, John l.. Boyer and George Daniels,
the latter Of Fairfax county, besides several
who worked in the factory as journeymen
who are still living. Mr. Dean, we believe,
went to 81. Louis after the closing Of the
factory, where he resided for number of
years and the news of his death has brought
to mind many "reminiscences Of the good old
days gone by

THE MAYORS VEToEs-M Mayor Smoot to
day vetoed the two bills passed by the City
Council at its meeting on Tuesday night last
which provided for the paving Of the two
squares on Cameron street. between Wash.
ington and Alfred the two squares on Co
lunbus street, between King and Queen
and the square on Queen street, between
Pitt and Royal. The reason given by the
Mayor for his vetoes is that by the prov.
sions of the bills the city could not compel
the property owners to pay their proportion
of the cost of the improvement as was the
intention of the trainers of the bills.
