WANTED AN ALEXANDRIA PAPER. -
II seems that there are still some peo'
ple 10 the city who, for reasons best
known to Themselves, do not subscribe
to an Alexandra paper, although they
buy those printed 10 other cities which
abound in crude pictures OF things In
which few hereabouts are interested.
A gentleman stopped an attache OF the
Gszet e this morning and said, Ia sub
stance, that be had been subscribing to
papers which come here from other
places and found he bad bsen making
q mistike, as il was necessary for him
to have Ga Alexandria paper 10 his
house 10 order that he and his family
could be keIt posted Ia local affairs.
a near relative of the gentleman re-
farred to was sick and the fact had
been stated in the Gazette, which was
the first i0timstion be had bad Of 1t.
A local paper Is indispensable 10 a
household which desires TO keep
abreast OF the times. Alexandris, like
all cities, Is making history, more or
less important, as time goes on, and
the local paper nstnrslly expands
everything Of interest TO the COM
muni.y, while those published ia other
places necessarily give space to i'm
portant events ouly and then 10 brief
manner. The G,zette has labored to
make ne local department a special
feature, and 10 order to render as com
plete as possible the ct3 is thoroughly
oanvassed every day. Every hing IT ali
savoriDg OF city news is printed, and
those who read the columns OF this
paper will be kept thoroughly posted
in all that occurs 10 Alexandria. Apart
from ITS local feature the Gsz tts
presents 10 a readable form the general
news Of the world every day. Dis
patches are received in this office dur
log the aitarnOon from sill the news
centre, OF lie world, and eurreut mat
tiers Gao bs read at the close OF the

IMPORTUNATE CRAMP5.-Two tramps
--ooe wnits and one colored-visted

twelve o'clock last night, Knocked at
several doors and demanded something

language. After causing considerable
disturbance on portions of two squares
they started to enter q cellar on re-
coonoissance for food. One of the men
was smoking a pipe, and when the &C.

much excitement that the trsmps de-
sisted and concluded they had better
