Many persons through the county are sick
with the grip, although but few deaths have
occurred.
Messrs. Torreyson & veitch. contractors for
improving the public road from near Falls
Church to the Aqueduct bridge, have begun
work in earnest and have several wagons haul

and wet places. This is considered the first
step in the direction of stone and craveled
roads and the people are rejoiced to see it,
Great complaint is being made by the citi-
zens Of the county that the railroad company
between here and Alexandria city allows the
public road to be blockaded at -Four Mile run.
The crumbling walls of the old canal where it
crossed the railroad caved in some weeks ago
and the company moved enough of the debris
to allow the cars to pass, but left the public
road blockaded. Many years ago the charter
was grated the railroad company to build this
road, with the condition that q good road for
vehicles would always be kept by the company
along the side of the railroad track This it Is
alleged. the company has failed to do, the road
1t Is claimed being encroached upon and made
too narrow in many places, and during most of
the year allowed to be in almost an impossible
condition. 1t is said steps will be taken at the
nsxt legislature to have the charter of the COM
pany forfeited because OF their great neglect
In this particular. The next grand Jury of the
county viii consider the matter also.

ADMINISTRATIONS OF PATENT LAWS.
"In the administration Of the patent laws by
the courts of the United States the proper
rights OF inventors have been firmly main
tanned. while the abuses which crept in. in con-
sequence of improper reissues o. patents, have
been corrected. Patents for important and

notably in the case Of Morse's telegraph, which
was held valid in the case Of OReilly agt.
