FIEND1sH OUTRAGE.-A LITTLE Boy DROWNED.
"A most fiendish outrage was perpetrated on the
North Branch, near the residence of Mr.. Elston, on
Tuesday afternoon last. We learn that party of
boys ranging from fourteen to eighteen years of
age III the habit of repairing almost daily to the
vicinity where they engage in bathing and in com
pelling or inducing smaller boys to rob the neigh
boring gardens ofvegetables and fruits. On Tues
day last these young ruians took little boy with
them, a son Of Mr.. Lutz, aged about ten years,
whom they tried to compel to enter Mr. Blston's
garden to steal fruit This the little fellow refused:
They first tried threats and afterwards proceeded
to plunge him into the river, expecting that would
overcome his repugnance to stealing. The brave
little boy, we are told, refused as long as he was
able to speak, mploring them at the same tune not
to drown him. But the heartless wretches persist
ed until life was extinct and then ran away, leav
ing his body in the river. All Tuesday night ms
agonized parents and a few friends were searchinS
the river for him. Yesterday morning tney iouiiu
him floating in the river near the place ofhis muir
der-ChicdqO Press.

To this design there must have been strenuous
objections in the mind of the fourlegged trespasser
upon the corporations for he gave leg bail for secur

self hard pressed he struck for the county, but the
soil of Henrico would not even shield him from the

the hog, yesterday resisted before his Honor the

ACcLIMATIoN.-GeneralM MCMAHON of the Mem
phis Enquirer has some very sensible remarks on
this subject setting forth the necessity of suiting the
diet to the latitude. greater amount of carbon
being necessary to protect the system against cold
in high northern attudes than in the south, it fol-
lows that greater quantity of animal food, which
produces this carbon, is necessarily consumed in
those northern ATTITUDES than in the southern. As
you leave the north and progress southwardly, the
amount ought gradually to diminish. And our
brother of Memphis very justly concludes:
'Ifyou settle in the south, you must lay aside, in
great degree, animal food, and the fats and alco.
holic drinks which you can indulge in with impuni-
ty in northern attitudes Substitute for them the
farnaceous and watery fruits of the south and you
are as safe as the native alligator Like him, you
can revel in togs sleep in swanps and kick up the
very devil ON dry land"

dreds of small shops kept ostensbly grocery
and cook shops by negroes and white men, who sell
daily to the injury and ruin of colored population,
quantities of liquid poison and that too, in defiance
of all law The Mayor has set out with the determi-
nation of breaking up far possible these haunts
of misery and gradaton and particularly of closing
them Sundays, when they attract and create,
throug the medium of liquor throngs of noisy drunk
en- negroes. Several have already been re-
ported
On yesterday, Clinton James free negro, keeping
in Pink Alley near the new Market was found guilty
of retailing ardent spirits without license.
Mary Wright free muatto, was found guilty of
keeping cook-shop for the sale of snacks, on 9th
street. between Main and Cary streets. In the back
part of her house, the officer found bar with all the
fixtures, but saw drinking. If he had seen
any one drinking, if no money had been paid
treated her customers for nothing.
Joseph Thacker free negro, was found guilty of
keeping cook-shop on 18th street, between Main
and Cary streets. He had bar visible The last
two arraigued, exhibited certificates from the Com
missioners of Revenue, which they thought author

Breaking Ground on the Covington and Ohio
Railroad.

On the sth instant, the nrSt Sn0VeI 1uil OF
earth, in the construction of the Covington
and Ohio Railroad, was thrown near Guyan-
dotte. The ceremony was exceedingly in
teresting, and took place, as we learn from
the Guyandotte Herald, in presence of the
corps of engineers and large number of eli
tizens. The first shovel of earth was thrown
by Captain JACOB HITE, an old citizen,
who went to that part of the State forty-five
years ago, and who, although II years old, is
still a healthy and active man. He refusedto
ride to the scene of the ceremony, but walk
ed from the town there and back. When he
threw up the earth the loudest cheers rever-
berated among the hills and the utmost en-
thusiasm was exhibited by all present.
The Herald seizes the occasion for COM
parison of the county when Capt. HITE built
his hut there and the appearance of things
now. Then it was a wilderness inhabited by
wild animals only, and the only craft which
navigated the Ohio was the slow boat showed
up the stream with polls, taking months of
severe labor to reach their destination-now
the land is dotted with well cultivated farms,
the river echoes with the puff of the steam
boats transporting the rich commerce of the
West-and soon the locomotive whistle will
resound through the mountains and be
echoed by the Ohio. The Herald INDUCES
the most glowing anticipations of future
prosperity to its region of country and to
Virginia from the grand Improvement of the
Coviupton and Ohio Railroad -

1t is stated that S. 600 900 worth of willow baskets
were used in the United States last year, a large
portion of which were imported
Why is not all the willow for this basket
business produced in this country? Our
friend, DR.. STRECKER, has endeavored to
introduce the culture of the basket willow in
to this vicinity-with what success we do not
know. 1t is we'll known, however, to those
who are aware of the kind of soil adapted
to the willow, that we have a great deal of
land that is exactly suited to it. The land too,
that is best for the willow is generally poorly
adapted to any other growth that profit can
be made from. We hope our land owners
will give the subject theirattention. Doctor
