He was also the spiritual adviser of others, Including Mrs. Surratt, who was executed In the Arsenal grounds In July, 1865, for complicity in the conspiracy to murder Fresident Lincoln. ‘The deceased was a man of many fine qu lites, was modest and unassuming, and during his residence here he endeared him- self, not only to those of his own faith, but to Ta ihy without the pales of his denomination.

An Exrspirep Stax Rovre—It has been no- teed that since Taz EVENING Stak hes been shining on Alexandria the town has wonderfully improved. All the new enterprises came with the advent of THE STARhere, The most notable event Of the afternoon is the dally race from the depot along King street, of the lightning athlete Smarr and the shooting star Gentzburg. One evening last Week, as a genial bank officer was winding his way leisurely up King street he descried the two carriers, “Meteor” and “Lightning,” dashing towards him. He was quick to turn aside; but too late. The Alexandria Gazette tells the re:t: “A colitsion was inevitable, and in the twinkling of an eye the stout gentleman. was stretched out horizontally, as stiff as a statue, knocked over froin the front by a stroke of lightning, while the force of the concussion occasioned by his sudden halt had thrown the other party into. posterior attitude some distance in the opposite direction upon the hard, inhospitable bricks.” Unirep States Covrt.—The United States court Was opened here tls morning by Judge Hugves, Who on his arrival yesterday ordered that the jurors be summoned to-day.
