ports, Local News and matters of
interest to Virginia, but more es.
pecially to this city and section Of
the State.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper in the State, and with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun.
try, and its usefulness has been de-
monstrated and appreciated during
the NINETY.oNE YEARS of its exist.
ence. In its columns has always
been found a mirror OF passing
events and the careful chronicling
Of the history Of what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house
hold, while in the counting room
and work shop it has become in,
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is SO
close to Washington, the great cen.
tire Of news, enjoys daily the bene-
fit Of the ASSOCIATED Press DIS.
PATCHES from every part Of the
world hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has TRANSFERRED that day in ev-
cry portion CT the United States as
well as from every part of the hab,
table globe. Consequently it is
an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every section Of
the State is published regularly,
and all events Of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
unns of the GAZETTE
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE great desider-
alum with merchants is its after
noon market reports from all the
great centres Of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
in its history and is steadily increas-
ing, especially among those who
consult its advertising columns be-
fore purchasing.
The COUNTRY EDITION is
nearly as large as that Of the daily.
This edition is sent out three times
a week.

A large number of leading democrvts

orga nization of q Cleveland club in that
city. Judge Bergman Green has issued
call for n meeting at the Academy of

Democratic club to do all it can in a
proper way to effect the nomination of
Cleveland. but no criticism of other as
pirants calculated to create discord will
be allowed, and the club will support
the nominee, whoever he may be.

is about $4,000, showing an increaee of
$4,000 or 60 per cent The rate OF tax
alton has not been changed. The in
crease in income arises from CORES

The Long Lost Boy Said to BE Living in
Benton, Mo.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April s.-According
to the firm belief of Mr.. II. G.. Sparks, a
reputable citizen of Benton, suburban
town west of this city, the missing
Charley Ross, stolen from his parents
in Philadelphia on July 1, 1874, is found.
If Mr.. Sparks is correct in his belief,
Charley Ross, now arrived at mans es.
tate, is at present living with and en-
ployed by him at Benton, and the world
famous mystery of the greatest abduc-
ton sensation known to criminal annals
is about to be cleared up forever. So
strong is the evidence already gathered
in the case that relative of the boy is
even now en- route from Philadelphia to
Benton. Mo-, to meet the young man.
The relative is expected to reach here
tomorrow. Mr.. Sparks says that about
four months ago q young man bearing
the appearance of tramp applied to
him for work. After becoming ac-
qlainted with him the young man told
him enough of his history, so far as he
could remember it, to convince Mr..
Sparks that he was Charley Ross, of alb
