Latest from Portsmouth and Norfoll

AaCesI HUH olIsinou'n anu Noriolk'
The tidings from the two places are still of the
most melancholy character.
There were fifty deaths in Norfolk on Sunday
last, and twenty-three in Portsmouth. Among the
deaths those of Mr.. Walters, proprietor of the
National Hotel, and DR.. William Collins, President
of the Seaboard and Roanoke Road
All accounts agree that there is abatement of

ARREST OF ABBoTT.-We hear that Abbott the
burglar, under assumed name, arrested yes
the cars, by persons from Oxford, at which place
he had been committing depredations. It seems
that. Abbott after his escape from the Petersburg
cars, had managed to reach Oxford, and gone to
work as a tailor. There he stole 1915 in money,
bonds to a large amount, and gold watch and put
out first sewing up the money in the leg of his pam
falcons. He was followed to Hilsboro and there
arrested 1t is to be hoped that he will not be per-
mitted to escape a second time.
Wilmington Herald.
We learn that Abbott was tried at Oxford last
week, convicted of the above theft, and soundy
whipped by the Sheriff on his bare back for the
same. He was then taken to Petersburg, to answer
for his crimes in that quarter
