PETERSBURG, March l.
The New Market Jockey Club was organized on
Saturday, by meeting of the subscribers at Boil

was appointed TO direct matters in the handicap

the opening Of the Spring Races at New Market
In this handicap there are thirteen entries,

The number Of deaths in the city for the past
month are only IA. but four of which hare natives
of Petersburg. This is fattering Vbmmentary
upon the health of city containing not less than
20 600 inhabitants.
In the police court, to day. several little
were examined. One A. King, Of Orange county,
answered to a charge OF drunkenness and bad bt-
haYEor and stated that he had on Sunday night,
taken a single tod" in house on Second street,
which so upset his nerves that in a few moments
he found himself perfect nuisance: and that he
was thereupon kicked into the street, and when
able to pick himself up again, discovered that
his pockets we're inside out. He was dismissed
to recover his lost funds as best he could. The
principal of the City Free School, MIR. Bass, was
arragned, charged by Mr. Frazier, with having
severely beaten his child. Mr.. Bass showed that
the whipping administered the boy was nothing
more than any other teacher would have applied 10
an obstinate pupil, upon which the case was dis
char ged.
