Tho subscription price is 50 cts pet mouth, or at that rate for a greater or less time. LOCAL NEWS. For this district ioutherly shifting to westerly wiuds, local rains, becoming cooler. The Gift to Mount Vernon.?It was stated in yesterday's Gazette that a gen? tleman, whose name was not given, had re centiy purcha-etl aDd presented to the regents of Mount Vernon, upwards of tnirty acres of laud adjoining that estate, i be object being to prevent its purchase by ? arties who might put it to uses objection sbe to the Kegents and detrimental to Mount Vernon. The gentleman alluded to = Mr. Jay Gould, of New York. On the 7th instant Mr. Gould, who, with his family, aud to regain his health, had left New Vork n bis beautiful and commodious steam ) acht Atalanta without any display, quiet? ly sailed up the Potomac river, and dropped anchor a Bhort distance above this city. It was ascertained that en route a landing bad been made at Mount Vernon, but very idtle acoount of that visit has been pub? lished, and it was generally supposed that it amounted to notbim; more than ottierd made to the Mecva of America. While at Mt. Veruou he purchased acres of laud adjoiuiog the property of the Mt. Vernon Association on the north, aud LaB given it to the association, thus en? larging the Mt. Vernon estate to 2S5.J acres. The purchase was completed yesterday, aud the lady mangers of the association have re? turned their thanks to Mr. Gould for his handsome donattou. The idea of the pur? chase and donation suggested itself as Mr. Gould was leaving Mt. Vernon after having passed two hours there very pleasantly with his family, Iu the course of his inquiries concerning the length and breadth of tho property, be was impressed with the im? portance of protecting the mansion on the north b/ the addition of more land, and he promptly authorized the purchase of the tract mentioned, and added that it would kitlord him great pleasure to donate it to the ladies of the association us a mark of his appreciation of the excellent manner in which they carrying out tho great trust im? posed upou them in preserving the home of George Washington. The property just ad? ded to the estate was purchased from Law? rence and Elizabeth Washington, great grand ioephew and niece of Washington, for $2.500. Their father was the last mem, her ot the Washington family to sell bis share of the original site to the ladies of the Mouut Verucjp Association. The new ad? dition will, atter u few improvements are made, art'ord an unobstructed view up and down the river from the mansion, and at the same time prevent outsiders from build? ing frame bouses too near to the mansion or establishing pleasure gardens tbat might be < objectionable to visitors to the tomb. PvAilkoad Accidents.?A terrible acci? dent occurred on the Virginia Miuland rail? road about two milo3 from Lawyer's depot, below Lynchburg, about C:80 yesterday af? ternoon. A special freight train coming from the south, at the point designated, came iu collision with and demolished a hand-var containing Mr. John Martin, his rive ebildreu, and a Mrs. Sprouse, who were returning from the funeral, at Hickson's Crossing, of Mrs. Owen, a daughter of Mr. JJartiu. The collision was attended with fatal results, Lizzie Martiu, aged seven years being killed and Mrs. Sprouse and all theotherchildreu being injured. John .Mar? tin, aged 3, had hw skull badly crushed and bis recovery is doubtful: three other child? ren, George, Charles and Cordelia Martin, were slightly hurt, aud Mrs. M. J. Sprouse. was badly injured about the head. All of the iojured were taken to Lvnchhurg and are now at the Home and Retreat, where they received the necessary medical and surgical treatment. The railroad company is in no wise reponsible for the accident as the hand car was on the track unauthorized. Mr. Martiu, who is a merchant at Lawyer's, has the sympathy of the community in which he lives, in his double affliction. A simple minded man named Samuel Keld, who recently came here from up the ujuntry, was struck by the out going mail i vain on the V. M. road this morning and biirf, haviug his head cut and his shoulder an d arm bruised. He was sitting on a tie, near the track, at the switch house, just outside of the railroad yard when tho train approached, and disregarding the danger whistle was struck by the engine and knocked to one side of the track, with the above mentioned result. He was taken to his borne ou tho corner of Henry and Wilkes streets, where his injuries were attended to by Dr. Powell. Car Couplers.?At the meeting of car biulJers, at Minneapolis, last Tuesday, the tepon of the committee on automatic freight couplets presented an elaborate exhaustive ieport aud dwelt at length upon the difficul? ties encountered in making tests and weak? nesses displayed iu various couplers. Four thousand patents on car couplers have been Issued by tho Pateut Office up to this time, and not one had been generally adopted. The report devotes a great deal of space to tests recently held at Burlington, and to descriptions of the various couplings. It rei ommends that tho association adopt, the Janoey coupler as a standard. By the terra "Januey coupler" the report incudes all couplers which act on the Bame principle as t be Jannoy and which will couple with it. Tt>e committee strongly urge that the au? tomatic coupler standard be adopted at this meeti ng, that the automatic coupler is a ne? cessity, before another year tho State legislature will compel them to be intro? duced. T.^e various roads will probably adopt different couplers and a great deal of trouble wouhj be the result. The Free D^ivery.?The Alexandria correspondent of i be Washington Niarsays: "There appears to bean entirely unnecessary halt in the Droceedings for the establishment ot free delivery of letters here. It is stated that the streets of the city will have to be named and the houses numbered before the order for free delivery can be made. The streets have been named for one hundred aud thirty-eight years and the houses num? bered for"over thirty years. The few num? bers missing from some of the houses can ail be put up in two hours, and it is expected that this will be done next week, and that Council will order street signs to be replaced when the old ones have beeu removed." Police Report ?Last night was cloudy and warm until about 4 o'clock, when it be? came clear. The Mayor this morning disposed of the following cases : Geo. Sch?fer, arrested by officer Hayes for abusive language to Jas. Buckner, was fined $1. A railroad employee, charged with an as? sault on a colored bey, was discharged. Property Sale.?Miss Helen C. Cran- j ford bas sold to Mr. Chas. King a lot on the west side of St. Asaph street, between Queen and CameroD, 27 feet front for $50. 1 PERSONAL.?Mr. Edward W. La Cro Lj o, Mass., und Alias Edith Lee M dau httr of Mr. Geo. W. Morris, for of Ii;:3 city, but now of Chicago, were ried in that city on the 15th inst. Mr. F. W. Maddux, of Fauquier couuty, was in the city to-day on hi? way to Mt. Do Sales College, Md., to attend the closing ex? ercises of that institution, where his daugh tera are pupils and where one of them grad? uates this session. He say3 the farmers of Fauquier have commenced harvesting and that the wheat crop will be a lair one. Mr. E. F. (Bud) Baldwin, formerly of this city, but now of Galve3ton, Texas, his wife and two children are here on a visit to Mr. J. T. Hill. The condition of the Misses Moon, of Fairfax county, who were injured by being thrown from their buggy on Sunday last, is reported to day to be favorable by their at? tending physician, Dr. Klipstein. Presentation.?A committee of students of the Episcopal Theological Seminary this morning, waited on Prof. J. J. McElhinney, of that institution at his residence on "The Hill" and presented him with a gold headed ebony cane. They also read a series of suitable resolutions adopted by the students regretting his retirement from the seminary, to which the Doctor feelingly responded. Press Excursion.?The managers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have ar? ranged a special excursion for the benefit of the representatives of the press of Philadel? phia, Baltimore, Washington and this city, the objective point being Cresson Springs, Thursday, June 23, returning homeward the following Saturday.
