The Richmond Despatch, of yesterday, has q
Geographic dispatch, dated Wytheville April
2, giving The following particulars Of a bloody
affair that occurred in that place:
For some time past, a man named ]. Austin
Graham, has been paying his attentions to the
daughter ola wealthy old gentleman named
W. Ii. Spiller, who is reported 10 he worth
about 100000. Graham was unsuccessful in
his suit, from the fact that the young lady
loved, and was engaged to be married to a
physician named DR.. Hamet. Graham on &C.
count of this state of things, has been very
violent, and threatened 10 take The life of his
rival the first opportunity that Offered.
On Saturday night, about 10 O'Clock, he en-.
tered the WltheviIle Hotel kept byMr. Thorn
as J. Boyd, where Mr.. Spillcr was sitting in

Exchange Bank at Abingdon Mr.. Cox an at
tache.o OF the Hotel, and a Mr.. Terry Of this

The Prohibitory Liquor Law in. New York.

The liqour merchants of New York, it is
said have determined 10 resist legally the
prohibitary law at every hazard, so that there
will be quite a harvest for Lawyers. That
such a law can be enforced in this city is a
matter of doubt. Mayor wood will have a
hard time Of II, as the duty of enforcing it
will fall upon him and his police. The pecun-
larry effect of the Lev will, at the start, be We.
ny seriously felt. The loss to the trade OF the
city in the future is variously estimated at
from $40, 900, 900 10 $50, 600, 900 per year, and
in July next it will leave without employment
thousands OF bor-keepeIs, walters, cooks. &c.
The moral gain, TIE friends OF the measure
will more than balance the pecuniary
loss.
A petition is circulating praying the Legs.
lature 10 pass a law prohibiting the use Otto
bacco and strong tea-drinking. The vegeta-
also are on the move, and intend sending
up q strong remonstrance against the ''bru-
practice Of eating animal food."-
These movements are probably made with the
Of ridiculing the liqour law.

A Horrible Murder.

Yesterday morning, at about half past ten
O'Clock, the body Of an unknown woman was
found in the woods back OF Green Lane, OF
Branchtown, between Old York Road and the
Water Gap Railroad, with her head almost
entirely severed from the trunk. Coroner
Delaven proceeded TO the scene Immediately
upon receiving information of the shocking &C.
.currence. On an examination it was discov-
cred that the wound, which passed through
the windpipe vertebrate, nearly s~evering the
head from the trunk, had been inflicted with a
sharp instrument, such as an ak or cleaver--
The body was warm when first seen. The
unfortunate woman was apparently Of German
birth, and twenty five years OF age. She was
dressed,in very neat style, with a cbangeable
silk worsted dresss, black kid shoes, and o
handkerchief on which was marked the in
itials l.. S. The same was marked on her
under garments. Lying besides her was found
a pair OF go iters. On her person was discover
ed o razor, which, however had not been used
and a bottle CT laudnum. The jury Of inquest
rendered q verdict in accordance with the
facts. No clue has been discovered 10 the

The State Fair and Rail rnaa,.

We notice q card going the rounds Of the

with certain railroads 10 say whether there
shall be a State Fair OF not. Or, in other
words, If these companies do not agree TO

We have no desire 10 favor them particularly,
neither do we wish to see them misrepresent-
ed Intentionally or otherwise. These are our
views upon the subject, and we think, if
those who want a Fair are not willing 10 pay
a part of the expense, they should stay a home,
and endeavor 10 reap rewards in the sale OF
their fine stock, or the increase of crops raised
ON well cultivated farms. We are in favor of
a Fair, but should there be none, the respon-
sibility should not be indirectly thrown upon
railroads, they are bad enough, and have now
about ns much to bear as they can get along
with. II costs money 10 run cars, besides the
wear and tear Of machinery and track, and if
one OF the fine animals intended for exhibition
should by any accident be killed, the owner
or owners would be sure 10 seek indemnify.
Then, should companies in justice TO them
selves be asked to run this risk and incur the
incidental expenses without remuneration for
service performed? We think no calm, un.
prejudiced mind will cenSure them for the
course they are pursuing.

rrThe Baltimore Conference of the Meth
dist Episcopal Church, recently in session in
that city, took unanimous and decided action
against anti. slavery resolutions sent in by the
conferences Of Ohio and Wisconsin. They
first voted that the resolutions should not be
allowed the courtesy ola reading, and then
voted unanimously TO non-concur in the reso-
buttons. The rejected resolutions prohibit
the buying ofmen, women and children, with
the intention to enSlavs them, and require
the emancipation Of slaves when it can be
accomplished without injury to them.

Astonishing Elopement.

One day last week, a woman nemed SULsER
eloped from her husbands residence in Nor.
gan township, Butler county, Ohio, with a
young schoolmaSter named PEAsE, who had
been teaching during the winter in the vicin-
lty, and boarded at SulSer's hou e. The in
iatuated woman had lived happily with her
husband for near twenty years, and was by
him the mother of seven interesting children.
She took with her her youngest child, an in
iant, (leaving six with her huSband.) and
about five thousand dollars in cash and nego-
table notes. She was the daughter of o
wealthy old farmer. who died about q year
ago, leaving a very handsome property 10 her.
The notes which she took with her were given
ny the purchaser Of a portion of the land in
herited rom her father, and were drawn in
favor OF her and her husband. On the day
alter her flight, one OF her brothers, who was
sick in her house, died, and it is presumed
that the sudden and strange disappearance Of
his sister may have given the shock that
proved fatal. The husband OF The guilty fu-
gltive was in the city yesterday, searching for
a clue to the Whereabouts of the wretched
pair who have robbed him of his peace. He
is almost crazed with grief, Indignation and
shame, and is Of the opinion that the flight
has been in the direction of New York. 1t is
feared that Pease had sumo of the notes CASH
ed in this city, but the fact has not been as
certained. This is one of the most remarka-
Bile cases Of elopement of which we have
heard. At home she was in very con, Portable
circumstances Her husband had just finished
a commodious and elegant new house, and the
eldest OF her children was a daughter fourteen
years of age. A more interesting and appa-
rently happy family than the one now dishon-
ored and broken, was, a fortnight ago, would
