PREMISES SEARoHED.-Lieut. Smith,
with Officer Frank Belts, of the Alex
andris police, yesterday afternoon
made search of the barroom of Dick
Burnett, at the upper end of King
street near the Stone bridge, in search
of stolen goods alleged to be hidden
there, and though the house was
searched from top to bottom, drawers
turned inside out and every nook and
corner examined, nothing stolen was
found. Had anything been previously
stored there George Chichester's ex-
pose Saturday night doubtless proved
the necessary hint. Burnett's ranch is
not the only place in Alexandria which
can reasonably be looked upon with
suspicion. While that place may have
gained more notoriety, there are others
none the less questionable. They have
been given names recently. One is
called "The Cave of Skulls" and others

TROUBLE ON THE RoAD.-Mr. r. 81.
Atkinson appeared at the station
house this morning and gave thrill
ing account of an adventure which be-
fell him last night on the road between
this city and Washington. He says he
was in his road cart with his family on
the way to this city when resident OF
the county named Denterman ran his
team into him. Mr.. Atkinson remon-
strated with him for his action, telling
him the collision was the re-
suit of carelessness or wanton-
ness, when Denterman became in
solent and aggressive and jump
ed from his vehicle and caught the bri-
die of Mr.. Atkinson's horse. Upon the
latter ordering him to release his hold,
Denterman, he charges, drew pistol
and said he would kill him. By this
time three colored men were attracted
to the scene, and when they said some
thing to Denterman he reasserted that
he would kill Mr.. Atkinson. The lat
ter finally drove away. The authori-
ties of this city having jurisdiction
but one mile beyond the city's limits,
could do nothing in the matter, and
Mr.. Atkinson will appeal to the county
authorities.

BANK CHANGEs.-AS a recent meet
ing of the directors of the Citizens Ma
tional Bank Mr.. W. II. Lambert ten
dered his resignation as cashier, stating
that the duties of the position were be
coming too burdensome now in his de-
clining years and that his close appli.
cation to the banks business was tell
ing on his health. Mr.. Lambert has
filed the position so acceptably since
the organization of the bank-over q
quarter of century-that the directors
declined to accept his resignation, but
elected bis son, Mr.. W. F. Lambert, as
assistant cashier. Mr.. Mayor Green
was then chosen discount clerk in place
of Mr.. W. F. Lambert. Mr.. VIM. II.
Lambert was elected a director to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death of

BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE.-There
was another meeting of the Business
Mems League in the hall of the Relief
Hook and Ladder Company last night.
M. B. Harlow, president, was in the
chair and John n. May secretary.
Thirteen new firms and business men

the Delegate to the general assembly,

ing felt in the community.

The CHRISTMAS TRADE has made
things lively in the city to-day. While
numbers made many of their selections
in Washington equally as many made
them here. The stores have been
thronged throughout the day and will
be long in to the night. The number
of strangers in the city was noticeable,
and most of them was buyers. The
country people found ample stocks
from which to select, and the mild and
clear weather brought many visitors
from the rural districts. The streets in
the neighborhood of the Market Build
ing were strewn with evergreens, holly
and other Christmas adornings, and
much were purchased. Nearly every
store exhibited turkeys, and the bulk
of this species of poultry seemed to be
prime. Housekeepers were busy all
day in stocking their lsrders and max
ing other preparations for the enjoy
ments of the morrow, while the young
ones reveled in anticipation of KIiss
Kringle's annual visit.

MORE NOCTURNAL RAMBLERs.-Hez-
ekiah Godfrey, Henry Brown, John
Halliburton and Mary West, all colored,
we're arrested in the streets about two
O'Clock this morning by Officers Young,
Beach, Hall and Sherwood for drunken
and disorderly conduct. They were
making night hideous by cursing,
fighting and yelling. Most of them
were caught in the nelghborhood of
the colored Odd Fellows Hall. People
living in the vicinity are apprehensiye
lest the scenes so long enacted on "hard
corner" be removed to the southwest
ern portion of the city. The police
men on duty in that ward are doing all
they can to keep this disorderiy ele-
ment down. The parties named above
were fined SIS each this morning.

CHRISTMAS IN THE AIR.-The toot OF
the horn, the occasional explosion OF
powdercrackers, the holly and cedar
here and there, the displays in the shop
windows, the anxious and anticipative
expressions of the younger generation
sud the smiles of tho older, all unite in
imparting the requisite vim to this
greatest of all holidays, The prepara-
tions bereabouts for its observance,
while not lavish, have been in most cases
ample and sensible, and tomorrow
good cheer will prevail in the majority
of homes minus the excuses into which
some are prone to run. Originally a
strictly religious festival, the day was
celebrated in manner suitable to the
spirituality it should impart to every
believer in the Christmas religion. But
centuries ago it was captured by the
world, and while still observed by n.y.
riads in accordance with its prims ~
object, it is too often desecrated by ex-
cesses aud orgies which SAVIOR not of q
day intended to celebrate the birth OF
the Prince of Peace. The GAZETTE
wishes all happy Christmas, and
hopes the day will be spent in innocent
pleasures and in the temperate use of
the blessings sent by kind heaven.
In the midst of it all let us remember
there are many in our midst to whom
the occasion is calculated to be tanta-
lizing. All have not been blessed alike
in basket and store. Some will be
thankful with the bare substantials, not
even hoping for the luxuries of life.
While surrounded with plenty let none
forget the less fortunate brother, re-
Numbering that one of the required
evidences of our faith is to distribute to
the necessities of our fellow-creatures.
