ORLEAN, Va, Jan. IL, 1SSS.-The sere'
naders of whom mention was made in
former letter to the GAZETTE were brought
to trial at this place on the 9th instant, and
seven of them were fined. The trial has
stirred up some bad blood on the part of
some of our best citizens. owing to the fact
that the party who prosecuted those boys,
has been guilty Of the same offence and on
one occasion was known to be the ring
leader of serenading party.
Several of our citizens have filled their
houses with first class ica, measuring about
six inches in thickness.
Mr.. Inman 81. Payne and Miss Ida Payne,
daughter of Mr.. Alexander Payne, were
married in Warrenton on the 9th.
A large number of children, as we'll as
grown persons, are troubled with a cough.
resembling very much the whooping cough.
The children vomit every time they cough
and have high fever and suffer with loss of
appetite.
Happy and prosperous new year to the
ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE, which has always
adhered strictly to democratic principles,
and better for the State had its example
been followed by some of it's inferior con-
temporaries. FAUQUIER.

indebtedness to the State. The inter

deck. AS cheer after cheer arose Mr.
Blaine bowed repeatedly. He was neatly
dressed in a dark cutaway coat, light
trousers and light derby hat.
The Chicago Blaine clubs had been the
first to greet the steamer as it came up the
bay, and clung under its wings while the
Chicago men cheered. Cappa's band on
the Starin played "Home Again" Home
