FALL AND WINTER ARRANGEMENT
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1859-12-20

Improper Remarks.-A man calling himself
BENJAMIN w. HEATH, was arraigned before the
Mayor yesterday TO answer the charge of en-
tertaining abolition and reasonable senti-
States army, and while full to the brim with
"rifle cannonv whiskey, was heard to ex-
press sympathy for the numbering land pi-
rates, Brown and Cook. During his examina
ton gentleman testified to having seen him
in the Jail of King William county on the Nth
of November last, on charge of tampering
with slaves; and another one heard him say
that he had John Browns hat; that he knew
him ia Missouri, and that he was Brown all
over As none of the facts ELECTED were suffi-
cient to fix the charge upon the prisoner, he
was given until this morning to leave the State,
which he promised to do by the first train.

Slightly Alarmed.-Some few nights since, q
resident of Henrico county was frightened out
of his boots by trivial circumstance. Resid-
ing in the pines, and having holy horror of
dark lantern attacks, he was awoxe from q
pleasant slumber by loud calls for help, in the
woods. Suspecting that the enemy was on
him, and that he was about TO be surrounded
he sent girl and a boy in the direction of the
call'' to ascertain the cause, and prepared
himself for flight. Immediately after, q bright
flame shot up through the darkness, and taking
this as an evil omen, he dashed through the
woods at quarter-horse speed, his wife follow
ing as best she could, and made for the cabin
of widow lady for protection, declaring that
all of them would soon be dispatched by the
enemy's spears. The children who were sent
out as a scout, advanced to where the fire was
burning, and ascertained that two wagoners
had lost their way, and had fired pile of wood
to dry themselves by-for the rain was falling
in torrents at the time--returned TO the house,
but finding ii vacant toek possession, and there
remained until next morning, when the owner
made his appearance considerably worsted by
the anxieties of the previous night.
