Fresh Fish.

The receipts of salt water fish al thiS
place during the past few days have ma
terially increased, and some hne sPTci-
mems are now offered in market. Inc
varieties embrace rockfish, croakers'
mackerel, butterfsh, founders, taiiorS;,
&c. a large consignment OF small
rockfsh was received today. Prices
however, have been immOvable Tor a
long time, and fresh fish are regarded as
an expensive luxury. There is but lit
tie likelihood of prices weakening in the
near future from the fact that there is
always demand in the larger cities for
these saltwater products, and with the
rapid transportation now afforded a
market can always be found for them.

The Denver Express.

.cThe Denver Express" will cross the
stage at the Opera House Monday Sep
TENDER %, piloted by Holden Bros.
and their trained crew, which includes a
right bouyant brakeman in the person
of dainty singing and dancing soubrette
who, as the heroine OF this well tried
success, makes laughter and mernment
,preyade the piece. Few dramas can
compare with this well written play. Al
most every phase Of western life IS
wividly depicted. FROM the attempted
massacre of the whites by aparty OF sure
enough Indians to the derailing OF the
Denver Express, the interest never lags,
and the scenery painted for these episodes
is said to be excellent examples of the
scene painters work. The play has the
advantage of strong company, special
scenery, and carefully selected series
of clever specialties.

Remarkable Phenomenon.
Old Point Comfort College, Va,
September 81, 1908.


September 81, 1903.
To tho Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette.
The writer, who lives near Buckroe
Beach, saw yesterday morning, about
five o'clock. a remarkable phenomenon,
the cause of which be does not under
stand and which he therefore desires 10
publish ia order to obtain an explana-
ton from some person who may. he
wss nearly mile from the beach, stand
ing upon a veranda probably ten feet
from the ground. Behind Buckroe,
possibly far off on Chesapeake bay, or
the Atlantic, there was a broad band OF
red light, far more resplendent than he
had ever seen in that direction before,
the red which comes before sunrise be-
ing always dull until the sun is well up.
Above the band. there were what looked
like trees, but which be supposed to be
clouds. 10 a very few moments 1t be-
came evident that they were trees, but
he knew that there were none OF such
size in that vicinity, while be was look
ing from between trees closely resembling
them. His conclusion was that they
we're the pictures OF those trees reflected
as in a looking glass. Was he right
The whole scene was by far the most
magnificent he had ever witnessed ex-
cept the corona of the sun in the total
eclipse visible 10 this vicinity some
years ago. As the band began to lose
its brightness while he was gazing at 1t,
and no one else about the place was up,
he alone saw it and he knows OF no one
elsewhere who did, though it was doubt
less seen at Fortress Monroe or the
Hotel Chamberlin.
