COMMON COUNCIL.

The board was as usual late in Assem-
bling. After the reading OF the minutes
and the call for committees reports.
MIR. Snowden (for Mr.. II. X. Burke
submitted report of the committee on
general laws adverse to the order pro-
posed by Mr.. B. B. Smith at the last
meeting, declaring that MIR. w. B. Corse
had air, ady passed an examination
sufficient TO authorize his election as
City Engineer. The report was adopted.
The Corporation Attorney submitted
an opinion in answer to ques ions pro-

and that the City Council has no power
to interfere with the water rates estsb'

was received and submitted tothe COM

When an appropriation OF $500 Tor a
20 feet roadway on Gibbon street, be-

MIR. Smith said that the SD section

A CARD.

TO the Editor of The alexandria Gazette:
Continued communications on the subject
of Mrs BARRIERS attempt at suicide prompt
us to state that we bow to Mr. Ball IN matters
ecclesiastical only. Notwithstanding 'irref.
ragsble evidence we still do not concede
that Mrs. Bsrber's life was in jeopardy when
we left hor If thirty and seventeen years
practice respectively, count for naught against
the opinion of al M. D. not permitted by the
State to practice within its limits on account
of failure to pass the board recently convened
in Richmond to examine candidates, we sub.
nit to the inevitable and admit that supreme
knowledge and skil snatched this patieut
