We see it stated that Gov. Wise has It il
contemplation to appoint Geo E. Denoalc
Esq, the Senator from Rockingham, lieu
tenant Governor. We mention the fact, not
that we object to Mr.. Deneale, for he !.
both worthy and competent, but because VIC
think the West is entitled to the appoint
ment. II does seem like there was a little

ACQUITpAL OF LEE.

WASHINGTON, March % The trial of
Col-Lee for killing David Hume, Esd, of
Alexandria, was given to the jury at halt
past . o'clock yesterday The Court resum-
ed its session this morning at half-past 10,
when the jury came down for instruction.
The Judge said that yesterday he refused
the prayers of the counsel for the prosecution
on the ground that there was no evidence
whatever shelving that Lee designed to pro-
woke Hnme to strike him. In reply to the
inquiry of juror, the Judge said that the
case should rest on the point whether Lee
could have retreated farther before shooting
or whether he had reason to apprehend per-
sonal bodily injury from force and the ra-
pidity of blows. He said that Hume went
to Lees place of business, and that Lee
said nothing except in reply to questions
propounded by Hume.
These were the reasons why he granted
the prayers of the counsel for the defence
The jury retired, and in half an hour reap
pcared with a verdict of NOT GUILTY. Col.
Lee was then discharged from arrest, and
Court adjourned until to morrow.
This is the shortest trial for murder on
record in our Court. There is intense feel
ing in the community on the subject of the
instructions and the verdict

Horfid Accident.

On Monday evening last, Mrs. Lloyd.
who lives about three miles east of this
city, was SO severely injured by the down
train of cars, as to cause her death. The
accident occurred on the trussel work across
Corners branch. The engineer, Mr. G.
Martin, informs us, that when he first dis
covered the woman she was walking in the
center of the track, with her bonnet drawn
down over her face, but had not reached the
trussel work. The whistle was sounded,
full toned, twice. but it failed to attract
her attention. She came on towards the
train, and had approached to within about
thirty feet of the locomotive before she
looked up.
When she realized her perilous condi-
tion she attempted to regain the embsnk
ment, and was within two or three feet of
it when the pilot struck her. Her right
foot was cut of and her left ankle broken.
She fingered in great pain until Thursday
night. when death put an end to her suffer.

boris on the day of the accident, and re-
marked. on starting for home, that she ex-
pected the train would overtake her on the
bridge, which makes her apparent absence
of mind unaccountable.- Arc Of

The Fruit.

The lovers of fruit may rejoice in hope
The peach, cherry. pear and apple trees are
full of fruit blossoms and buds. If not
destroyed by very late frost, the fruit
will be abundant. In fact; the late spring
will prove a great advantage, for it has
kept back blossoms till they can expand
with safety, The loss of fruit has general
ly been occasioned by the late frosts near
the first of May But when the spring is
unusually late, that evil is not likely to oc-
cur.
We observe that through the country,
an unusual number of fruit trees, es-
pecially the peach and pear, have been set
out. Many new vineyards are also plant
ing, and we think, if the Lake cities do not
make an exhorbitant demand, we shall
have hereafter supply for this city
