+ DEATH AND DRlNKING.- Life is Gods
gift. 1t is d great gift. We value it
above all riches. In case of danger
all that man hath will be given for
his life. 1t is the period measured by
Providence, during whicha ! the plea
sures and happiness Of humanity are
to be enjoyed, and all its duties to 1e
performed. Oh! what folly, to be con-
staptly tosking, mutilating, and de-
etroying that most precious Of all jew
sis! Ninety-nine out of every hun
dred die sooner than they would, by
violating the laws Of health and lon
gevIty, and a vast proportion do moi
live out half their days. Every un.
natural stimulant helps to bring them
nearer to the grave. OF all the other
causes, the use of intoxicating liquors
is the most powerful, Drinkers de-
sroy the pleasures of life; nay, they
cut off great portion Of it as effec.
tually as if they laid their necks upon
the block, and struck the fatal blow
with thtir own hands. Nature truly
bears up under a great deal Of torture
from strong drink, but at last it gives
way, and often suddenly. Could we
examine the progress of disease inter-
nalIy, we should be able to trace its
insidious progress in every one who
drinks strong drink even moderately.
Indeed, an occasional spreeof drunk
ennessd does not harrass the system near
50 much a the daily or frequent drink
ing Of few glasses 10 moderation.

A most awful tragedy occurred ia our city this
morning. man. named William c. Carson, shoe
maker by trade, killed his wife by stabbing her in
the heart with q butchers knife. Two OF the wounds
with the knife were nf ,ted one over the right eye
and the other in the right breast. Either wound
aDt]y.
The occurrence took place at the house Of the
wlfes mother, in Jefferson street. near Forman Park
adjoining Carson's residence. The cluse Of the
trae edy was jealousy. The woman had deserted her
husband duriIg the past sumner, and been off on
the canal with another man.
After the death of his first wife last summer, Car
son became acquainted with this woman aud hired
her as bis housekeeper, and was subsequently mar.
Iied to her. She owned canal boat, half OF which
he bought Of her, and went with her one or two
trips on the canal. Subsequently, she discharged
BIN and took another ~ her companion on
board the boat and one or two violent quarres took
place from time to time between Carson and his
wife paramour.
The close Of navigation caused the boat to lay H.
and the wife with her husband pro tenn went to live
at her mothers, which was extremely aRgravating
10 Carson. He entered the mothers house this
morning, about 10 o'clock, and found his VIE in
company with her psraTOur, and asked her il she
would go home with him. She said !" no." "Then,n
said fe," command you to go home with me-"
Again she refused. He then drew the knife from his
side pocket and stabbed her al mentioned.

1sar avoi myself Of the first opportunity to inform

pa Sod the House Of Delegates to-day.
Very truly yours,
We take great pleasure in laying before
our readers the above communication. The
bill, as passed by the House of Dele gates, al.
thorizes an increase of the capital stock of the
North River Navigation Company, sixty
thousand dollars. the Board of Public Works
to subscribe three fllhs Of said increase and
further, provides for pledge of tolls to the
North River Navigation Company by the
Jnmcs River and kanawha Company.
This is an improvement which among the
mlny that have been agtated In Virginia
has received comparatively but little attention.
| We are rcjoiced 10 find, however. that the
! House of Delegates has hoen awakened to is
importance, and trust that its passage will
meet with no serious opposition In the other
branch Of the Legislature. As local i'm
proyemen', it IS one of the mos promising in
| the State, and the rich store OF tonnage which,
when completed, it will pour eastwardIy
through the Blue Ridge Gap, will no doubt
| soon demonstrate this fact.
Scarcely any section Of Virginia is richer in
agricultural and mineral resources than thai
through which the Canal will pass. Many
evidences to thi, effect we have heretofore
presented; bntqeven We're it agriculuraly as
sterile as many OF the pine ridges of eastern
Virginia-the impulse which must be given tc
the development, by chcnpness Of trunsporta
ton, Of the embryo iron interest Of Virginia
Il productive interest destined we believe. te
be one amongst the first in the State, would
seem properly 10 present ii in the aspect Of a
Sta rather than Of local measure.
We hope the company with the assistance
OF the State may soon have the command oil
means sufficient to enable them vigorously to
prosecute Their improvement 10 completion
Tie work viii pay-no interest will suffer by
1t, and many now latent will be evolved to
swell the increasing tide of wealth and utter
nal commerce.
