DRIA. (Continued ) Let no one imagine for one moment that the old town of the trustees whose lots are being auctioned oil with a suc? cess that was slow but eure?(i i 1751 there were only 10 utsold and those in the extreme southeastern come-) ? brars any proportion to Alcxtcdria of the present. Like Tossy we have "growed," notwithstanding; the U.sh iog domes across the \vay?the big tity whose mild jest we are. To obtain some idea of this plan of Alexandria town as it existed then on paper, draw eight parallel liuej, repre? senting Duke, Prince, K op, Cameron, Queen, Princess and O.ouo^o streets, uoross these at right angles run one line (allowing for a row of lots above) for Royai street, and another below for Fairfax. Tbia street laid out with wooden stakes was designated Main street, intended to be the principal thoroughfare of tbe embryo city. Water street might have been so named be-' cause it was a street at either end and water in tbe middle, tbe river in those days washing the banks of Fairfax street from half- way of Prioce to Queen street, forming a well shaped crescent and curving &barply to Point Luntry on 'be left, and more gradually to West Point on tbe right. These Doiots were both helow what was later Union street. Oa the right side of Oronoco and jusr above West Point, so named perbais because Bugb West owned the front? age there of two lots on tbe river's bend, the lots began to be numbered. N08. 1, 2, 3, 4 were long and narrow in shape, all tbe others, except on a slanting boundary line just above, which cut of! a part each of 5, 6 and 7 and on the two river curves were balf equares of one half acre each. Four of these formed a square 01 two acres each. Tbe streets were 66 feet wide, except Water e-treet, which was 50 feet wide. Counting up from tbe river were lots 8 to 13 inclusive and from 14 to 19 be tween Oronoco and Princees. ' Five lots were on either side of Queen, Cam? eron and King; six on tbe left (56 to 61) j and seven on the right of Prince; eight on tbe tight and left each of Duke; 84 lots in all. Such was Alexandria town one hundred and fifty years ago. On tbe first bid of tbe lots, those on the river front were taken by the trus? tees and others at highest prices, as most desirable, and most of them bought two contiguous lots or one acre to tbe water's edg9. upon which they were to build within a certain period under penalty of forfeiture and reeale. There were Dot bo many but that we can refill in imagination the homes and spacious grounds tbat bordered tbe riv? er in tbe new town a century and a half ago. Sweep away tbe ware bouses, tbe stores with wbicb we are so familiar, let the water wash over tbe streets which we now walk, till it breaks against tbe old garden beeches of tbe generations gone by, and it will not be hard to re people those old homes with names that are familiar, handed down to us with the blood that beats in tbe veins of many in our midst. For instance, Alan Macrae is on the right of Queen street with John Alexander to complete tbe square. Gerard Alexander is across tbe street with two lots to the river, and John Dalton adjoins with bis two fronting Cameron. John Carlisle owns tbe Braddock House site, and his gar deu also is on the water's edge Side by side with him is William Ramsay whose I oundary Hoes are 00 King street. Where Burke & Herbert's Bank now is are the two half acres of Augus? tine Washington to tbe shore. Half way of that square commence the two lots of William Fairfax on Prince street, for the river begins its bend here. This is the site of tbe Citizens' Bank. Col. George Fairfax's full lot and part ol auother begin at Water street. Lower down on tbe bend Oul. Harr sen's two lots front Duke street (Lee s.tost es a* present would divide then ) ?nd across : ha street facing them and tak'ns in Point Luntry we find Naihauiel Chap? man. The last two and the river lot each of Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Ramsay commanded highest pries. Where the National liti.k now is, Mr. Augustine Wapbicg'on'a half 'ot wa^ located facing Fairttx a'reel, and tide by side with him John West. Wm. Henry Terrett (whose widow John West married as his second wife) and Pearson Terrett own the square on which the Gazette office stands. The Wests have the entire leDgth of Duke 6treet on tie left from Water street to the boundary, and the square on the west side of Royal. Crossing Prince 6treet we again rind Mr. Ramsay, and next him George Mason. Col. Mason is also on King and Fairfax, where Mr. Leadbeater'e s ore is located, and adjoining bim on Fairfax s.reet we find Col. William Fitzbugh. Surely in the circumscribed space of sixty acres allotted to tbe town, can tbe colonial history of the county be chal? lenged to find names of greater worth, wealth, prominence or standing. Tbe banks of tbe James, whose homes are historic for all tbat ennobles Virginia's past, can not take precedence of our old Potomac when we coil tbe roll with pride and reverence of men wbo one Hundred and fifty years ago founded 00 its snores this Alexandria town.

"When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine iD Lhe first place; what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place ; what reason (i. e., theory) says is best to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr Experience and Dr. Season to hold a consulation together, they will give yon the best advice that can be taken." When you have a bad cold Dr. In? clination would recommend Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy because it ie pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Expe? rience would recommend it be? cause it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it be cause it is prepared on scientific principles and acts on nature's plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secre > i ids and restoring the system to a na? tural and healthy condition.

No. 322 King St.,) I No. 1335 E 6t, n. w. Alexandria, Va. j 1 Washington, D. C I believe it is possible to build up a much larger tailoring business in Alex?ndria than has ever existed heie. I believe also that while PBICE3 is a factor, tbe first and most, important thing is THOBOUGHLY GOOD WORK. In other words while men want low prices they also demand good cloth and nc.i cut, and well made garments. 1 have bought both here and in Europe a bigger stock of high g-ado cloths than usual, and at advsL Ugeous prices. I have the best work ram that money can hire, and I'm attending right to business myself as I have been these twelve years. I nave carefully counted the cost of everything; I have figured not how much such work should bring, but how little I can do it for, and I'm going to make tbe price $20 PEB 8?1T, and Bobert T. Grimes's well cut, well made TB0?8EBS at $5. BOBEBT T. GRIMES, Naval, Military, Clerical and Livery. LANKETS, new line, just received, at * A, C. hLAYMAKEB'S.
