RICHMOND: THE CAPITAL OF VIRGINIA: IT'S
HISTORY. By John 2. Little. NJ. D.

RICHMOND: THE CAPITAL OF VIRGINIA: IT'S
HIsToRY. By John P. Little, M. D.
We are indebted to Mr.. A Morris for a copy
the above interesting volume. The chapters
comprising this history first appeared in the
Southern Literary Messenger, and were written.
as the author candidly tells his readers ''when ~
he had nothing else to do.' The following ex-
tract from the preface will suffice give the rea-
der just impression of the candour of the author,
and is in reality the best thing of the kind we
have recently encountered:
at is customary, when physician puts forth work,
for him to speak in phrase OF the time snatehed from
professional pursuits of the weary hours taken from
pose of the harassing calls and the little time allowed by
fections of a work which he, tremblingly and much
ashamed, issues to an indulgent public.
"Ihave such apologies to make and regret that
cannot make them in truth.
"Ihaveha full time for the preparation and composition
of this work In fact has been composed in those long
intervals ofeisure usually allowed strange physician
in new place of abode by discriminating ignor
ant public
Having recently copied literally from the work,
as it appeared in the pages of the Messenger, our
readers are probably better qualified than our
selves to judge of its merits. About that, howev-
err there cannot exist two opinions. We have
read several chapters with interest and instruction
and imagine there are persons in this community
who will not deem this unpretending volume wor-
thy aplace in every library in the State.

% year ortwo ago, a humane and charita-
BILE gentleman, residing in this city, encountered
in his never-ceasing efforts to alleviate the dis
tresses of the poor and the unfortunate, family
consisting of three orphan female children.
The eldest, who had seen probably some eigh
teen cold and cherries winters, lived by the
wages of sin, and thus fed and clothed her youn-
ger sisters-aged, respectively, ten and twelve
years. Finding the children in this deplorable
condition, he caused the two youngest to be placed
at the Female Orphan Asylum, where they re-
ceived proper and attention. Here they
continued, apparently we'll satisfied until one
day lastweek, when they clandestinely left and
took up their abode with their unfortunate sister,
whoresides some where near the Federal Spring
on the Northern suburbs of the city. As soon as
the gentleman above named heard of the change
of residence, he procured the services Of the po-
lice, repaired to the house, captured the little
phans and conveyed them back to the Asylum,
where they now are, and where me trust for their
future welfare, they may remain.

STRANGE CoNnUcr.-Mrs. Alexander, a re-
spectacle and industrious woman, Yesterday APP
peared before the Mayor for the purpose of COM
planning of her husband, who she said frequently
drank to intoxication, and whilst under the infu-
ence OF liquor not only rendered himself very dis
agreeable, but seriously interfered with her efforts
to support her family by honest industry. The
family reside on CANDLES Hill, and Mrs A., as
sisted by several young women carries on the
mantua- making business. When Alexander gets
drunk it appears from the evidence of his wife,
corroborated by other members of the family, he
swears more work shall be done on the premi-
ses, and manifests disposition to enforce his
edict. The Mayor held Alexander to bail for
good behaviour in the penalty of 800, and in
default ofsecurity, committed him to prison.
