ANOTHER MISS HARRIS TRAGEDY.-The
shepherdstown, (West Va.) Register says,
we learn that Eli Schley, a freedman, shot
and killed Betsy, free woman, at the
Railroad Depot, at Martinsbnrg. on Mon
day evening last. The cause assigned is
lore. 1t seems that the said Eli had BE-
come tired of his former wife, who was 700
old he said, and wanted to marry Betsy,
a youthful maiden of sweet seventeen,
who declined his offer, and thereupOn he
killed her and then killed himself.
THE barn of Hon G. j. Faulkner, near
Martinsburgh, was destroyed by fire last

of an incendiary.
REV. DIR. A. Fl. Fl BOYD, an able min

A NUISANCE ABATED.-The kanawha
Republican says: We are glad to know
that the State Home Guards. the source
| of SO much wrong, injustice, trouble and
insult to all classes ofpeople, have finally
been dispersed 1t is an unqneslionabie
fact, that the injury done by these guards
| to the people and the Union cause, has
vastly outweighed any good in any re-
spect that they may have done.
A correspondent of the same paper
writing from Grcenbrier county, says -
II am pleased to find that our paroled
soldiers are generally inclined to scru,
pulously observe the conditions OF Their
paroles. The only disturbing element
we have among us, is an occasional bdnd
of horse thieves, who, no doubt, have
steathily procured the L. 5. UNIFORM

TROUBLE IL CHURCH-We learn that
the minister in charge of the Berkeley
Circuit of the NJ E. Church South had
excluded from the church those members
that sympathized with the South, except
on certain very degrading conditions,
and this thing coming to the knowledge
of the Presiding Elder he visited the
| Circuit and closed the church against the
minister, but directed the laity to assem-
BILE and hold prayer meetings, whereupon
the Sheriff of the county arose and gave
notice that the preacher in charge wonld
hold services as usual. The Presiding
Elder then threatened him with arrest
for violating the peace; that he, a conser
vator of the peace, was doing all he could
to violate the peace of the community
and to divide the church of which he was
a neutrality-suspicious. Register
