The River.

Arctic scenes were presented on the
river this morning. Floes and sheets OF
ice were moving lazily along the chan,
mel. while snow was falling thick and
fast. On the opposite shore the scene
was more dismal. The flats are still a
solid sheet of ice now covered with snow
There is but little doing on the river.
Occasionally a tugboat armed with an
ice plow FORCES its way up or down Inc
steamer Calvert started from Washington
last night for Baltimore, but upon reach
ing this city it was concluded to remain
here until this morning, as the weather
was too thick for safe navigation. She

The Purpos ed Parade.

The executive committee of the
Washington's Birthday Association is
making satisfactory progress in prepar-
ing for the purposed parade on the 22d
of February. Another meeting was
held last night at the Friendship engine
house when many preliminary arrange
ments for the parade were formulated.
The finance committee reported that
thew had met ready responses to their
solicitations of contributions from
citizens, some having given more than
last year, and that there was every
reason to believe that the parade would
be of colossal proportions and a success
in every particular. The committee
will call again upon the citizens for
donations next Tuesday. A committee
will visit Richmond and extend invita-
tions to various military organizations
TO visit this city on the 22d proxlmo,
Snecimens of badges and emblems to be
worn on that day were exhibited by the
committee that had been appointed to
procure the same.
In reference to the parade the Staun-
ton News says: Both the Stanton
Rifles and the West Augusta Guard
have received invitations from the city
of Alexandria to participate in the
memorial exercises at the Washington
birthday celebration. 1t is said that the
expenses of the trip will be borne IN
part by Alexandria, but as yet neither
of the companies have sent their ac-
c~eptance of the invitation.

More Wintry Weather.

Snow, which began to fall Yesterday
afternoon. continued during this alter
noon. BY that time il had covered the
ground to a depth of six or seven
inches. In some places, however, it had
driGed into banks a foot or more deep:
The snow came up from the SOUTH and
Is at present visiting pretty much the
whole of the eastern part of the country.
There was no snow last night south CT
North Carolina, but rain prevailed as Tar
down as Florida. Dispatches from many
nlaces in Virginia describe conditions
similar to those existing hereabouts'
In fact the heaviest fall of snow last
night was in Virginia and the western
mountain region Of North Carolina. Ihe
temperature, however, did not fall materl'

frigid and uninviting, was rendered pretty

The Reason.

A merchant said to a representative OF
the Gazette Yesterday that he understood
the retail shoe business in Alexandra
had considerablyGlle off recently. The
reason is plain. The Alexandra shoe
dealers do not advertise, while those IN
other cities invariably do, and the latter
carcb the trade. Alexandria shoe deal
ers' however, are types of other classes
in this city who never let the puohc
know they are in business or have any
thing to sell. Some, like merchants IN
Damascene bazars, sit down and wait ior
customers to ferret them out. NO d
could tell from reading the local papers
whether certain branches Of trade are
conducted in the city or not. 1t mas
time and again been demonstrated that
most all articles can be purchased here
at As low prices as any where else, oa'
purchasers are not made aware OF TINS
fact until they have sought out the deal
ers and examined their stocks and prices.
