The Editor Of the Garfield, Ohio, Herald,
says:
'WHEAToE's ITCH OINTATENT-Ith has been
said to get the itch is no disgrace, but it is dis
graceful to keep it, No one need have the
itch As hours if they viii use sWheaton's ONT
ment,' for it is a sure curei We saw it tried
on the persons of several children and adults
few weeks since, and the itching at once
ceased, and in two days not an eruption was
visible. 1t is e1ectual in removing pilnples,
biotehes, and especially old sores. We used
the ointment on one of our own children, and
the effect was magical. The itch, which has
been SO prevalent about here, has not yielded
to the usual remedies for this complaint, and
we are glad that remedy has been discover
ed that is so efectual and yet so cheap. Read

2 GEN. DoWs LEcTURE.-It was with deep
interest that we listened to the Temperance
Lecture delivered by Gen. Neal Dow Sabbath
evening last. 1t was delivered in his usual
earnest eloquent manner, which drew and held
the attention of his audience in breathless ST.
lence The lecture contained questions of
vital Importance, not only to the community,
but to the nation at large, VITO what ec-
tent, or hoac, we should go, towards excepting
our brothers" from intemperance, by prohibit
DRY laws, and by any moral power in the COM
munity, as church members and pastors, ex-
.erting over each other, and over the children
of Sabbath Schools, and day schools and Great
ing moral temperance sentiment by indiyid-
ual influence. The lecture, like seed sowed
broadcast, viii spring up and bear fruit, for as
yesow SO shall We likewise reap, is the promise;
and accountability arises from free agency of
persons of all TITLES and conditions. So Christ
taught US by precepts and by His example,
The Gospel, of which Temperance is one of the
fruits, is compared by our Lord to the sowing
of mustard seeds, the smallest of all seeds, but
this bears fruit nevertheless, by patient, perse-
vering labor in scattering the seed. Ye shall
reap if We faint not. Christ's process is sure,
though slow. Gen. d. proved, by illustrations.
that the fruits Of temperance, to individuals.
and communities, were aoeaIt7s, health and hap
piness, and to all those who were exercised
thereby. T. IS

A HORRIBLE MURDER-A WOMAN STABBED TO
THE HEART-THE MURDERERs ESCAPE. About
Sl.2 O'Clock on Monday night, four men, who were
unknown, applied at the dwelling of William Dunn,
IN the canal bank, near the Battery and opposite
the Belle Isle ferry, and asked for liquor. Mr..
Damn had no liquor to give them and told them so.
One of the men stood at the door while the three
others entered, and conducted themselves in very
;,sultinp manner. Mr.. Dunn went towards the
door. when he was seized By the brigands, robbed
of hi, watch, snuff box and five hundred dollars in
Confederate money. Mrs. Mary Dunn, the wife,
hearing the confused noise, and fearing that Mr..
Dunn had fallen into evil hands, rushed out and
was Immediately confronted by one of the villains,
who plunged large bowie knife into her left lung,
pe.forating the heart. She fell and died almost
instantly The murderers escaped Immediately,
though the provost guard was sent in instant pur-
suit. The murderers are believed to belong to a
band OF the desperate penitentiary
from that institution. Up to noon yesterday in
Quest ned been held over the body, and we do not
think that, under the circumstances, any will be
necessary. Tie deceased leaves no children.

children. from six years down to six weeks, all

nuisance, crying baby, is not to be seen. Why
should they cry2 They have plenty OF simple
food-no devouring of pound cake. II the child

they have plenty of fresh air and play here, and

aud fair-still, were parent, | should thank God

RoBBER1Es IN THE CoUNTY.-We learn that a
number of vagabOnds, black and white, are PROV
ling about the farms in Henrico county, plundering
all persons not protected by the presence prox-
unity Of the Union troops. Whilst this state Of
things continues, the people will be afraid to cult
v,ts their farms or gardens, and will be deferred
from coming to the city to make any purchases.
We hope that an efficient patrol of cavalry will
he sent through the surrounding country for the
nr-Dcse Of capturing these desperadoes, and OF
giving assurance to the people, who are in hourly
dread of violence, that they will be protected in
their legitimate pursuits.

CAsDos.-There Is nothing sheds so fine light
vpon the human breast as csndor. 1t was called
"whittness" by the ancients, for its purity and it
has always Won the estee dus to tbs most aduira-
bic Of the virtues However little sought for O.
practsed all do it the homage Of their praise, aud
all feel the power and cham Of It's influence. The
man whose opinions make tbs deepest marx upon
his fellow-men, whose influence is the mcst lasting
aud eff lent, whose friendship Is nstinctvsy sought
where all others have proved faithess, Is not the
man of brilliant parts or hatterrg tongue o;splen-
did genius, or commanding power, but no whose
lucid caudor and ingenious truth transmits the
hearts best feelings pure and without refraction-
There are other qualities which aye more snowy,
and other traits that rave higher place in the
world code of honor but none are b'ttet or gather
less tarnish by use, or claim deeper homage 10
that silent reverence which tie mind must pay to
virtue.

A DIABoLIcAL OUTRAGE.-Several nights ago,
couple of the escaped penitentiary convicts invaded
a house near Camp Lee, and by their conduct show
ed tina. their expedition was one of plumber. They
hung up the woman of the house by the neck, and
kept her hanging for some time to extort from her
the secret of her deposits of money and valuaoes'
After some time they let her down, more dead than
alive, but she steadfastly refused to reveal any
thing. The military authorities have been acting
with promptness and energy in the matter OF appre
bending these desperadoes, and we hope it will be
continued until all OF them are again within the Sc
curly Of four walls. Their going at large can be OF
no possible service to the Government, while their
prompt confinement will rid the authorities Of
g eat deal of trouble in their behalf. The city po
lice, who are familiar with the faces of the con-
vcts, would be invaluable in pointing them out, if
they could be so employed.

HOTEL AccoMNoDATION.-Rich will want all
the hotel accommodation that can possibly be made
available. and for that reason we would suggest THAI
the Richmond House, as well as the Ballard, Spots
wood and other hotel edifces, should be given up
exclusively to the accommodation 'of the migra-
tory public. The Richmond House, we believe,
us occupied as one Of the headquarters of tie mil
itary authorities.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-Mr. J. G. Conner, of
Baltimore, was prisoner in Castle Thunder up to
within week of the evacuation. Eight long months
he spent in that gloomy dungeon. The charges
against him that of being spy for the Union.
and inimcal 10 the government of the Confederate
States Mr.. Conner found himself at liberty in the
turmoil and excitement of the evacuation, and hav-
ing displayed his true colOrs, again is engaged in
effecting some arrests which are very important to
the government, and which no other man could have
brought about.

The MAYORS UNCTIoNs.-We are gratifed to
learn that the Mayor of the city has been autho-
rzed to resume the fu notions of his Office, so far
as it relates to the commitment Of persons to the
Aims House, which is supplied by the Federal
Government.
Mayor Mayo is enc of the oldest and most re-
spected citizens of the place, and we are satisfied
that if any trust is repoSed in him, either as Mayor
or citizen, it will be religion sly and judiciously
fulfilled,

AROUND RIcHMOND.-The three lines of defcaces
encirchng Richmond have been left as perffc: as
the day they were pnt ur. Not traverse was bro
ken. 1t is estimated that at least three hundred
and fifty pieces-a great many of them spiked-fell
into our hands.

A CITY RArLRoAD.-We are glad to know that
some of our citizen capitalists, assisted by North
ern enterprise and capital, have adopted our sug-
gestion in regard to city railroad, and are moving
in the matter of laying down at once track on Main
and Broad streets.
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-04-12

this morning, we wish to add what should have been
in the first day but for the difficulties under which
we labored. They are the Public Warehouse, in
which was stored very large quantity of tobacco
the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad bridge the
Richmond and Danville Railroad bridge, two spans
of which were destroyed; 'Mayo's" passenger
bridge, which was owned by Mr.. Z. c. Mayo
These were all public losses, not felt alone by the
owners, for they affected all classes of the cOmmu-
nifty. 1t is remarkable that this fire swept away
almost every vestige of the Confederate Govern
ment from our city.

Tue REPORT CONCERNING the health of Mrs. Gen.
Robert E. Lee, extensively circulated yesterday is,
we learn, entirely unfounded. Mrs. Lee is IN as

and the stories of her serious ndsposition had their
origin in the brain of idle gossips. We derive the
information from a source entirely reliable.
