Correspondence OF the Alexandria GAzErTE.l
Owing to the incemency of the weather
on the evening designated for the regular
May gathering of the Farmers Club of this
locality, the meeting was postponed for one
week, but again the water bearer was 30
liberal with wetness that the few kindred
spirits who wrestled with darkness and mud
assembled at the residence of Geo. Auld,
dispensed with club matters and enjoyed
themselves sociably. The home of VIM. q.

Thursday evening, 21st inst
City people are learning that there ia bliss
ful comfort and felicity to be enjoyed 10 this
section during the sultry season. Several par.
ties from Washington having secured
agreeable quarters, have put in an appear.
ance, and others have been and are on the
lookout for abodes.
as stated in previous article the railway
train time is so arranged that the accommo-
dation for people going TO and fro from our
station, Bush Hill, to the cities, morning
and evening, is coram, so far as travel is
concerned. A great need at this station is
shelter from heat and storms for people
awaiting the trains. We venture the asser-
tion that but very few Washington people,
and that even as close conjunction as Alex.
andria is to this locality, there are many
therein who are not aware of this historical
and romantic region and its charming land
scape now sumptions with verdure.
June means much that is sweet and lovely,
even when her smiles are shed on hot city
streets and glaripg walls of brick, but in this
quiet rural hamlet, with the Maryland hills
and the placid bosom of the Potomac in the
distant foreground, June means beauty,
fragrance and delight, beyond portraiture
of brush or pen, and abundance of ozone to
enhance longevity.
The prevalence of so much vet weather
lately has retarded blowing and planting
very much, and considerable seed planted
rottedin the soil requiring repianting. When
the sun shines muscle is not laggard
with the plow and hoe, and at tn. close of
the days labor natures sweet restorer" is
appreciated as closely allied with the balm
ofGilead. The frequent rains at times causes
Holmes's Run, near Clouds Mill, to become
turbulent, and those crossing on the bridge
over the stream pause to gaze at the rag
ing waters. Among the number it is surmised
an agile infatuist, A. F. Lea, colored, leaped
from the bridge into the rapid current. Sue
cour was useless. The remains have not
been found and sympathy is so morbicund
that not even faint effort has been made
to find the bones of tho infatuated victim.
All fruit trees appear very promising for
large yield. Growing phat on luscious
strawberries is the acme of lucid delicious
ness.
There does not appear to be interest
enough manifested politically in this realm
to load howitzer and let her go, and no
one desires stock in Mahone's political vir.

SOME OLD NATURAL HISTORY AND FA.
BLEs.-The "Speculum Mundi or Glass
Representing the Face of the World, which
was published in 1870, before the advent of
real science, contains some very curious
statements in natural history. 1.-THE bigness
of the whales" it says, "equalizeth the hills
and mighty mountains" Indeed, some au-
thors mention star greater whales than
these" Above all others, mermen and mer.
maids are considered "the most strange fish
In the waters" A fine specimen of mer-
maid, which was said to have been caught
in Holland suffered herself to be clothed,
fed with bread, milk, and other meats, and
would often strive to steal again into the
sea, but, being carefully watched, she could
not. Moreover, che learned to spin and per-
form other petty Offices of women; but NJ
the first they clesnsed her of the sea-moss
which did stick about her." The ostrich is
said to be compounded, as it were, of bird
and beast. For making drupkard !oathe
his liquor, prescription is given for break
ing OWLS eggs and putting them into it.
Birds of paradise "have no wings, neither
do they fly, but are borne up into the
air by the subtility of their plumes n
and lightness of their body" the
unicorn is described as being like two.
year old colt, with horn growing out of his
forehead, "a very rich one being horn
of such virtue ss is in no beasts horns be-
sides, which, while some have gone about
to deny, they have secretly blinded the eyes
of the world from their full view of the
greatness of Gods great works" The gor-
gon is "a fearful and terrible beast to look
upon. He causeth his name to stand upright
and, gaping wide, be sendeth forth horri
BILE and filthy breath. which infecteth and
poisonetn the air." The cockatrice or bas-
iisk is called the king of serpents, not only
on account of his size, but also "for bis
stately pace and msgnanimous mind" His
poison scorches the grass as if it were
burned. The "beams" of his eyes will kill a
man. The dragon is found chiefly in India
and Ethiopia. "EIis wings will carry him
to seek his prey when and where occasion
serveth ~ his teeth are very sharp and set
like a saw, but his prodigious strength

both ends" Africa "aboundeth with them"
