Music HALL, Virginia, Nov. 10, 1865.

II SCESB.-lnlS morning. we
witnessed q scene in Recorder Meagher's
| Court that shocked our nerves-not par
| ,icularly sensitive-and one which will
never be forgotten. Mrs. Welsh, a woman
forty years Of age, was brought into Court,
or rather bent and trembling staggered
into the room, the most desolate picture
of drunkenness in a loathsome form we
have ever seen. She was aided to a seat,
and a small dose of brandy and ginger was
given her by officer Irwin, but her trem-
bling hands refused the Office and spilled
the LIQUID in the vain attempt. Although
a comparatively young woman, her voice
is tremulous, her face wrinkled, her eyes
blood-shot, herr body bent with disease,
and her brain tortured with fanciful
visions. Officer Downey found her al
most naked, last night, on Sutton Avenue,
where she would doubtless have frozen to
death had not the officer CHANGED that
way. Judge Meagher tenderly cared for
her this morning-all honor to his manly
heart-and this afternoon she will be sent
TO the County Hospital for treatment.
We fear, however, that her appetite for
WHISKY IS Oeyouo cure
WHO Is SHE Mrs. Ellen fancy Pc
titioned the Board of Town Trustees, at
their meeting last Monday evening, for re-
lief for herself and four children. The
petition was directed to the Board and
laid on the table before they assembled.
Il was read and referred to Mr.. Gushing.
who was authorized to draw a warrant in
her favor for an amount not exceeding
$50, if he found her necessities so great as
to demand it. He has made considerable
inquiry, and can't find the petitioner.
Who is shes Where does she live: Who
brought in the petition: We suggest that
| the committee advertise that Mrs. Ellen
| Taney will learn something to her benefit
by apprising the Honorable Board OF
Town Trustees Of her whereabouts.
IT is estimated that one-third Of the
value of ores worked in Gold Canon goes
to waste for want of proper processes and
good chemicals for working them. What
is wanted, then, is q greater diffusion OF
scientific knowledge among our mill men,
and better chemicals for their use. The
one object can be attained by the estab-
lishment of mining schools and libraries.
and the insetuting of popular lectures on
the subject of mining and reducing ores.
| The other difficulty can be removed by
buying chemicals at Deans drug store. .
CUTTING. - One Martin cut a man
named Gallagher at a low crib on South
C street, Virginia. last evening, it is feared
! fatally. The wounds were inflicted with
a shoe-knife, and the principal one is on
