AN EXTRAORDINARY TR1AL.-The most re-
markable case that has ever come before a
Virginia Court was tried in the Hastings Court
of this city on Saturday last. We aiInde to
the trial of Thomas A. Linton, who was indict-
ed by the Grand Jury the day before as being q
woman in mans apparel. This indictment was
made on the oath Of Martin N. Lipscomb, who
swore positively before the Grand Jury and
the Hastings Court that the accused a
female aud even went so far to declare that
he would take his own life il his declarations
were not fully substantiated by medical gentle
men, Mr. Linton. pending the trial, voluntarily
placed himself in the hands Of six medical gen.
tlener. all Of whom, on their return into court,
stated, on their oaths, that the accused was a
weiI-tleveIoped man. as much - as any other
person in the densely crowded Court House.
On this statement the jury rendered a verdict
Of not guilty, and the accused was thereupon
acquitted.

FAsHIoNABLE CRY PIErY.-The following is
too true to be creditable to human nature:
"You enter the church porch: The portly
sexton, with his thumbs in the armholes of his
vest meets you at the door. He glances at
you-yonr hat and coat new-so he gra-
ciously escorts you to seat in the broad aisle.
Closely behind you follows poor, meek, plainly
dressed seamstress, striving, from her treadmilI
to think one day out of seven Of the immortal! !!
The sexton is struck with sudden blindness!
She stands embarrassed one moment; then, as
the truth dawns upon her. retraces her steps,
and. with crimson blush recrosses the fresh
hold which she had profaned with plebian feet
Hark to the organ! It is a strain from Norma
slightly Sabbathized Now the worshipers one
after another glide in-silks rattle-plumes
wave-satins glsten--diamonds gltter-and
scores Of forty-dollar hankerchiefs shake out
their Ecrfamed odors. What absurdity to
preach the gospel of the lowly Nazarene to
such set! The clergyman knows better than
to do SO. He values his fat salary and hand
some parsonage teo highly. So, with q velvet
tread, he walks all arond the ten commandments
| and places the dowaiest pillows under the dying
prohigatc's head. and uslers him. with seraphic
hymning. into an 'npper-ten' heaven

A WONDERFUL RELrc.-It is stated that in
cutting through Oliver street, for the purpose
of extending the Bowery, tombstone was ex-
humed and perfect skull found beneath it.
The inscription was in Hebrew characters, and
after being submitted to the inspection Of many
learned citizens of the Israelitish persuasion, it
was deciphcred to bear the name Grenada, ?
while the date runs back some 800 years. which
was before the discovery Of America by Colum-
Ifbus.-

coRREsPosDExcE orrHE DISPATCH

PETERSBURG, May IA, 1856.
We have had another charming day for out
door sports and the interest among the people has
not abated . whit. The race today for the Pro-
q large number of spectators, and, as one OF our
South side nags was among the number, the
Cockades" backed her with will, and of course
went down like q thousand of brick. Fanny Fern,
YOU remember, made one Of the fastest two niles
races ever run over the New Market course, TWO
years ago, and on that account has made many
ardent friends but her delicate frame and consti.
tuition are unequal to the weights she has to carry,
and therefore 1t is that her glory has departed.
Before the time for starting this morning Fanny
had the "calf against Lucy and Sam, many De-
lieving that she could readily run over both OF
them with ease but az " doubtful things are quite
uncertain" the sequel will showIthat they were
vastly off in their calculations.
First Heat-At o'clock the three came to the
stand and receiving the word effected q beautiful
start Fanny soon cut out the work, with Lucy as
her opponent, and under steady pull won the
heat with apparent ease in 3:52t. Lucy being Sc
cond and Sam dropping In at his leisure.
Second Heat-Fanny again opened the ball, but
this time Sam joined her in the dance and after q
steady drive in which both appeared to put in
their best icks resigned her position to her ungal
liant partner, who crossed the score first in $50,
winning the heat
Third Heat-Fanny being now well nigh done
for, soon took her position in public estimation,
and those who had wagered largely, were eager
for hedging" point, but the "outsiders" were
"in, and the friends of the field in the first
instance, stuck to it like blister plaster bill
lious patient. The time for cooling having ex-
pired, the horn called up the trio, and the word
being given, Sam led off, and despite the repeated
efforts of the two ladies to throw dust in his eyes,
kept on the even tenor of his way, until the score
was crossed and the goal won in 8. 3.56-Lucy being
a good second. and Fanny third.

RIoToUs AFFAIR AT CovINGToN, KY.-The
German Turner's Societies of Cincinnati, whilst
holding celebration at Covington, KY, Monday,
were annoyed by some boys and handled them
rather roughly. Subsequently, Marshals Butts
and Harvey, on attempting to arrest the Turner'S,
were severely wounded; the former by pistol
ball, and the latter by sabre cut. The most in
tense excitement ensued, and large crowd of citi.
zens collected Some demanded the United States
troops at Newport barracks TO turn ont, but they
were refused. Stones were freely used, and some
firearms discharged. but NO one except one Of the
officers was much hurt Finally five of the Turn
ers surrendered voluntarily and quiet was restored
The Germans say that the officers did not make
themselves known, or NO resistance would have
been offered them.
