INFANrIcIDE- An old man named John
81. Sherbrock, resident of jamestown,
Kentucky, was arrested on Thursday
evening, on the charge of infanticide,
and conveyed to Newport and lodged in
jail. The particulars of the affair, so
far as developed, are as follows: Sher-
brock has been living for some time in
an illegitimate manner with a young
woman whose child this is supposed to
be. On Wednesday last the body Of the
infant-apparently about week old
was discovered, unburied, and in state
of nudity, in the Catholic cemetery, near
Jamestown, tie body bearing evident
marks of violence. Suspicion was i'm
mediately aroused, and a search made,
which resulted in the discovery of q
sheet in Sherbroek's house covered with
blood, and bearing the impression of the
hands, head and feet of an infant. The
sudden disappearance of the woman
was also noticed These, together with
other facts not mentioned, led to the ar.
rest of Sherbrock. Lou Jour.

Richmond is Ours! Tho Vic
tOrY Won

Long, bloody and holly contested has
been the struggle for the possession of the
Malakof of the rebel COntederacy, Rich
mond. Three years ago this very day,
April 9th, General Mcclellan entered
Yorktown, the precursor, as VIC all sup
posed then, of the speedy occupation OF
the rebel capital. But alas, how many
months has interviewed, months that
makes the heart faint, at the costly sacri-
ficelof blood, and of valuable lives lost +!
and how many weary marches, and how
many plans that came to naught, and cam
paigns that left US no nearer the coveted
prize, can we count up before the final end.
Mcclellan, in March 1862, led his army
by the Quaker guns at Manassas, mounted
his steed, issued a spirited address. and
led the way for Richmond. Who does not
know the issue of the Peninsular cam

Hon. Charles Jarvis.

The painful news comes to us this morn
ing that Hon. Charles Jarvis, died at
Geneva, Illinois, the 4th inst, at 1 o'clock
i'll the morning. He was on visit to
some relatives at the time, and had been
suffering from an'attack of lung fever
The family here Were i'll receipt of intel
ligence but day or two since that he was
rapidly recovering, and doing well,so well,
that he would soon be on his way to his
home in Ellsworth. This morning the
news comes by telegraph that he is dead,
without any further particulars.
Mr.. Jarvis was II years old, having been
born i'll Boston, Massachusetts, the 10th of
February, 1888. 1t were work of super
erogation for us to speak Of the character
of the deceased. in detail, for most every
man in the county, and all the active poll
tcians of the State,for the last forty years,
have known him intimately. For while
taking an active part in agriculture, the
mechanic arts, and all else that tends to
elevate and enrich a people, he always
found ample tune. as he had a natural ill.,
clination, to mingle in the exciting area of
politics. As q politician. he espoused the
radical Democratic side, taking extreme
views of most of the exciting questions
that have come up for discussion, and
maintaining them with an ability and per-
tinacity, which always won esteem, if they
did not issue in success,
His fathers family came to Castine in
this county, in 1900; and moved to Surry
in 1903, and the family of Jarvis, ever
since, has been one OF influence. The
late Hon. Leonard Jarvis, brother,repre-
sented this district in Congress for eight
years, from 1881 to 1889. The deceased
was a candidate for the same high position
number of times, but without Success
He served in the Legislature for a number
Of sessions, and in 1889, during the Aroos-
took troubles, he was appointed Provision
al Land Agent Of the State.
Mr.. Jarvis, was a man of decided con-
victions--a positive man in all things, but
possessed of the kindliest feelings, and of
a sympathy as wide as human Woe.
Mrs. Mary Ann Black Jarvis, eldest
daughter of the late Colonel John Black,
wife of the deceased, was born in Goulds-
boro' and died in Philadelphia, whittier
she had gone for her health, the Odd OF

The joy of our people over the fall
of Petersburg and Richmond, seems to
have been unboundcd. Everywhere the
people turned out en- masse, and in every
suitable way manifested their joy and
gratitude. We notice that in Washington

asking the people all over the land, to give
to God all praise, for blessing our cause
With such great success. Public meetings,
professions, bonfires, the roar of artillery,
all testified how great was the joy of the
people over this greatest of all events of

held ever since, while General Sher-
man has marched from Atlanta, or rather
from Chattanooga, through Georgia, South
and North Carolina, to the rear of Lees
army, making the circuit of one half of
the Confederaey. In this interval, since

splendid march, but he has captured Sal

by hisNresence and interest in them and

cheer and hope from the immediate front
to the people all over the land. He is the
great reporter of the doings of our army
to the people.
Up to this time, Tuesday, the particu-

Success Of the 7-3O Loan.

| Our readers will notice that subscrip-
tons to the popular $50 Loan are still
continued in the most liberal manner. To
the Old World the success of these Peo-
PIES Loans is one of the wonders of a re-
public. The Government does not seek to
borrow in foreign markets; it offers 10
premiums to bankers, but appeals directly
to the people, and with what success is
sufficiently shown by the fact that during
.torty-dree days they subscribed and paid
in cash down for one hundred and SIXTY
one million dollars of the 7-3O Loan
There can be no stronger evidence of pub
lie confidence in Government securities.
While nearly all other stocks have gone
down from twenty to fifty, and even q
greater per cent, within few weeks, all
forms of U. s. bonds and stocks have re-
manned firm except the slight fluctuations
that are incident to all rapid changes in
money market. Our readers will remcm-
Der that the subscribers to the 7-3O Loan
receive scmi-annual interest at the rate of
seven and three tenths per cent. per annum
in currency, aud at the end of three years
from July 18th, 1865, they will have the
option of receiving payment in full, or
converting their notes iuto 20 six per
cent. gold interest bond. The late great
decline i'll the premium on gold makes
these notes more desirable than ever as an
investment, and it should not be forgotten
that their exemption from state or munich
pal taxation adds largely to their Value
There is no interruption in the receipt of
subscriptions or the delivery Of the notes.

ton until June 18th.

receipts of the course of Lectures in this
village this winter exceed the expenditures
by the sum of one hundred and twenty

pense was for Hall rent, which amounted

as well as the community, generally, to
those gentlemen who favored us with lee
lures during the course. The small com
pensation which was paid those from

asked, would not be any thing like an ade-
quate reward for their valuable contribu-
tons and the task imposed ON their time,
&c. Those gentlemen will have the con-
seriousness of knowing, however, that their
efforts assisted in placing in the treasury of
the Soldiers Aid Society, or the Sanitary
Commission. one hundred and twenty-three
dollars, at very opportunc time in the
great national struggle. ..4..-
To those of our citizens who voluntarily
aided the enterprise, by their efforts to en-
terrain the large weekly gatherings at

munity is also due. Their contributions

and pleasure of our people. is fully appre-
ciated and will be remembered.
