THURSDAY, March 15.  This day Brother Kline spends in Washington City.  He visits the Representatives’ chamber, the Senate chamber, the Patent office, and other places of public interest.  His business, however, is at Alexandria, in connection with the Manassas Gap Railroad Company.  He is in attendance at a meeting of the officers and stockholders of said company in the city of Alexandria to-night; makes his report of the amount of stock in said company which Rockingham County is willing to take; hears it accepted, and next day returns home.  Brother Kline was deeply interested in this company’s road.  It is the same which now passes close along by his place; but he did not live to see its completion.
