RELIGIOUS AwAKENING.-There
ara decided indications of a religious
awa kening in Alexandria, more in
1sr..f being manifested in spiritual
tbinos at the commencement of the
Ienfen season this year than for some
rima services OF a revival nature will
h. ipaugurated in Grace Church to.
MINT aud on Sunday next Mr.. School
rrst, will begia series of protracted
meetings in the NJ. f. Church South.
This increased interest is in no wise
limited to the Catholic, Lutheran or
Episcopal churches, which always
observe the season, but religious people
Of all denominations seem animated by
+ fervor which is observable at inter
walls of decade or more. And it is q
striking coincidence that it should &C.
cur 1T a season of all others deemed
most sacred by many religious people.
The feast of Purlm, too, is almost upon
use: hence both Jew and Gentle are
found at the same mercy seat all look
ing UP to one Great Creator. The
second Presbyterian Church l:st night
was we'll filled and Rev. Mr.. Rice de-
liyered very fervent sermon from the
third chapter of John. AS has been
stated, these services will be continued
nightly during the week and at noon
each day. The year 1895, according
to some, will be remarkable one,
both from an astronomical and re-
ligous point of view. On good Friday
april 12), the heavenly bodies which
gravitate round the sun will be III
exactly the same position they occupied
in the armament the day Christ died on
the cross. 1t will be the first time such
u hing has occurred since that great
day, just 1862 years ago.

A PROPOSED FERRY.-A number { f
merchants and others of this city are
endeavoriug 10 inaugurate movement
by which ferry line can be establish
ed between this city and the opposite
Maryland shore. 1t is now an assured
f4ct that an electric railway will be
constructed between Washington and
Oxou Hill, opposite Alexandria, and
the gentlemen who are agi.a'ins the
movement can see no good reason why
this proposed railroad could not be
utilized by Alexandrians to some ex
tent in these trips to and from the cap
ltal city. With a suitable ferry there
Is no reason why the people of this city
could not add the third route to Wash
ington. For some reason best known
TO themselves Congress is aver5e to al
lowing any more bridges across the Pc.
tomac in the vicinity Of Washington or
Georgetown, thereby making a
cber0pr de .ti'iSe to the entire South,
though common sense makes it appar.
ent that such route is the natural ar
terry between the two sections. 1t i
also suggested that the new ferry line
should be at the foot of Prince street,
and that the squares between Royal
and Mon streets should be cut down
and properly graded. With such en-
lerprise it is predicted Prince street
would in a few years rival King in
commercial Importance. OF course,
something will be expected from the
Congress of the United States before
