THE WEATHER.-Such a variety OF
weather as was crowded into the "a
hours between 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon and the same time yesterday Al
exandria has not experienced in many
a day. On Saturday afternoon the
temperature wavered around 70 de-
grees, most unusual thing for this pc.
Rod of the year, but from that time the
mercury began to drop, until at s
o'clock last night it stood at SIS degrees,
a fall Of 81 degrees in little over "a
hours. The rain which had been fall
ing most Of the day turned, to sleet at
about 9 o'clock. Later this was follow
ed by snow, making life burdensome for
those who had to be out of doors. Early
this morning the ground was covered
with snow to the depth of half an inch
but most Of it has disappeared.

A PoINTER.-lt was stated in the
GAZsTTE's Washington correspondence
a few days ago that lady from this
city, who had made an unsatisfactory
shopping trip to Washington, had said ::
IF the Alexandria merchants would
only advertise their stock in their city
paper, as those Of Washington do in
those of their city, great many more
Alexandrians than do, would buy at
home, as it is no little trouble to come
here for that purpose" Every word
of this is true. The failure Of Alexan
dra merchants to advertise their bust
ness and their wares results 10 their
loss of much trade and money. AS the
GAZETTE is known by everybody who
knows Alexandria it is but natural
that its columns should be consulted by
those who wish to make purchases here,
and when they fail to end the informa-
ton they are seeking, it is no unusual
occurrence for them to write to this Of
fee for such information. 1t was only
last week that gentleman living in q
distant county wrote to this office ask
ing that list OF merchants in certain
branch of business be sent him. Is it
thought that such request would be
made CT newspaper 10 any other city
in the country No Such informa-
ton can be found in the newspapers Of
other cities.

- BROTHERHOOD OF ST.. ANDREW.
The regular annual meeting of the
Alexandria local assembly will be held
this evening (being st. Andrews Day.
in Grace Church, at 7:3O o'clock. The
speaker of the evening will be Rev.
Randolph 81. McKim, d. D., rector of
the Church OF the Epiphany, Washing
ton, buG formerly of Christ Church, this
city, who will make an address on
"The Brotherhood Man and the Sum
day School" While the address is
primarily to the Brotherhood, still it is
hoped that many who are not men bers
will attend. The subject is one which
should be of interest to all who have
the welfare of the church at heart. The
Brotherhood, therefore, extends very
cordial invitation to the ministers and
members of the other denominations TO
b present. DR.. McKim made an ad.
dress on the same subject in Washing
ton short time ago, with the result
that the next Sunday in one church
alone six men volunteered to take
classes in the Sunday school. Z gen.
eral discussion, which will be open to
all, will follow the address. After the
president, treasurer and secretary
have made their reports the election of
officers for the ensuing year will take
place. AS the meeting is for men only,
it is hoped that there will be good
attendance. A meeting of the execu-
tive committee will be held from Z I'M
Ill 7:30 o'clock.
Grace Chapter held special service
at Grace Church last night at eleven
o'clock, the eve of St. Andrews Day.
Several new members were elected and
arrangements were for the services 10
