MiNCHESTER ITEMS.


The temperance meeting OH Thursday even
ing was largely attended, and interesting adj
dresses were delivered by the Rev. Mr..
Hatcher and others. We wish the cause Of
temperance much success, and can assure its
friends that there is fruitful field for labor
in our midst.
HEAVY RoEBERY.-The store Of Messrs. Bur
nett 4 Morrisett was entered on Thursday
night and robbed of about one hundred and
fifty dollars worth of goods, of all varieties,
and all the change in the money drawer No
clue has been obtained 10 the robbers
CONDITION OF THE Towy.-The usually quiet
temperament of some of our denizens appears
TO have been disturbed yesterday, as Justice
G GENTRY issued three peace warrants before
o'clock, a. NJ.
Our worthy Chief of Police and his assist
ants have been very industrious lately, and
have put the town generally in good order
We trust that they will relax no effort to place
the town i'll cleanly condition, so that we
may be as well prepared rs possible for tho
sickly season.
WHERE Is THE TAX COLLECTOR I'VE desire
to ask one question. Is it the tax collec'
tors business to present Il bill, or the tax
payer's business TO hunt the collector up
A great many of our friends say they
have paid no taxes, because no bill has been
presented Let the bills be presented, and
have no unfair excuse TO deprive any man OF
the right of suffrage.

PRICE, TWO CENTS.

THE RICHMOND THEATRE.-The bill for to-
night is unusually attractive. Horse. Shoe Robin
will be played, with Miss Mary Mitchell as
Mildred lindsay and Mr.. J. w. Albaugh as
Mn jor Butler. This will be followed by fancy
dance by Miss Kate Partington, and the per-
formances will conclude with The Wandering
Boys in which Miss Mary Mitchell will appear
as Poul. In the course of the evening Mr.. s.
Is. Dufield will sing the Wearing of the Green.
The Dukes INptto and East Lynne are in rehear-
sal, and will be shortly produced.
Miss Mitchell and Mr.. Albaugh are rapidly
becoming favorites in this city. The lady Is
graceful and elegant in her manner, and dis
plays considerable talent. Mr. Albaugh is a
thoroughly conscientious actor and performs
well all that he undertakes. The other mem
bers of the company, particularly Mr. Shields,
are well deserving of praise, and the whole
company is considerably above the average.

ANOTHER HONE ISsTITrTIoy.-Every dollar
of insurance paid to our State companies is so
much money kept in the State, and we are sure
that our readers will share the pleasure we
feel in announcing the organization of the In
surance and Savings Company of Virginia,
whose principal office is located in this city.
With ample capital, and officers and directors
selected from our best known and most sue
cessful business men, we predict that this
company will at once take its place amongst
the foremost and most popular insurance com.
panies of Virginia.

THE DISTRACTIONS IN THE RTrER.-Attention
has already been called, in the columns Of the
Disputch, TO the necessity and propriety OF
taking immediate measures for dredging out
Warwick Bar, below this city, and removing
other distractions which impede the free navi-
CATION OF the James river. Before the war,
Warwick Bar had been dredged out to depth
of over twelve feet at high water, but work was
materially suspended, and ut the present time
a greater depth than nine feet cannot be relied
on This depth will be considerably reduced
in the summer months, when the river is low,
and If nothing is now done to dredge out the
Bar, this city will then be practically cut of
from steam water communication with Nor
folk The fine line of steamers which, during the
early part of this year, had been running from
Richmond to Baltimore, which frequently met
with delay at the Bar, do not now come up
higher than City Point and rs nothing in the
river can well remain at stand-still, twelve
months more of inaction will possibly close
the James to any craft drawing more water
than common latboat. 1t has been so easy
to see the Importance of going TO work ut
once that more than one offer has been made
by responsible persons to dredge out the chan
mel; and Messrs. J. n. COPYRIGHT Co. are
prepared to undertake the work at an esu-
mated maximum cost Of seven thousand dol
lars. This is n mere trife in comparison with
the benefit which its expenditure will confer
upon our mercantile community, and arrange
ments might probably be made to pay the
amount in city bonds.
After great deal of outside thinking and
considering, the present state of the river has
been forced upon the attention of the City
Fathers and the New Council have appointed
n committee TO inquire into it's condition and
report the cost of clearing it from all obstruc-
tions. We have not much confidence in COM
mittees, it is true, but we still hope that this
River Committee will soon make practical
and practicable report The subject is one in
which every man who buys, sells, or consumes
any article imported to or exported from
Richmond has direct interest; and the New
Council have now an opportunity of proving
their decision and judgment by ordering the
execution of plan Of dredging and clearing
away the distractions which will earn fol
them the support and good will of this entire
community. One day or other the work mus
be done, and an expenditure of seven thou
sand dollars now will do more good than twice
that sum a year hence, not to mention the loss
which our merchants and consumers must eX-
perence in the interval.
1t is understood that arrangements have
already been made for raising the sunken yes
sells in the channel; but under any circum-
stances, the work of dredging ont Warwick
Bar is most important, and no other plan OF
Improvement should be allowed to interfere
with its immediate execution.

The SERENADING tAsE.-The case of Tom
Hunter, the negro who beats the bass drum
for am Ethiopian band, charged with aiding
and lbetting in an attempt TO rob West x
Audrews's store, was continued yesterday,
and the testimony of additional witnesses
taken. Several white persons testified TO the
same facts as were recited by the WatChlnan
ut MesSrs West u AndrewS's on Thursday.
But when Tom Hunters witnesses" tall the
members of the aforesaid Ethiopian band and
the negro keeper OF 4 grog shop appeared
quite Il different tale was told; from which it
would appear that Tom Hunter was the most
innocent person i'll the world. The keeper of
the grog shop, "a tall, impudent negro waXed
wroth during his testimony, and ran on
strain somewhat thus: :" If dis here band was
awhile band, dere wouldu' n bin nothin' done.
Whenever we all colored folks tries 10 do any
thing, de white folks got to Interfere From
the copious notes that were here taken for the
Freedmens Bureau, this statement is likely TO
appear in few days before the Reconstruction
Committee. His Honor very quickly put a
stop TO his wild strain by peremptory order,
and sent Tom Hunter on for further eXamina-
tion bailing him in the sum OF one hundred
and fifty dollars.

MISTAKEN IUENTITY.-Some days since, Il
negro who lives in Rockets was robbed by a
white man of siXty-five dollars III currency.
The negro was very much demoralized at the
time, but he heard the thief say that his name
was Lambert. To discover person OF that
name now became the object of the injured
"emancipated," and on yesterday Mr. John
Henry Lambert was arrested at his instance
and carried before Justice Wade. The negro
was sent for, and said he could certainly lden-
tify the man who robbed him. He SAID he
was not in the room, and said distinctly thai
MIR. Lambert was not the man. The accused,
who has always borne an untarnished charac-
ter, was of course discharged. In answer 10
questions, the negro described the thief, and
Justice Wade came TO the conclusion that the
notorious Shumaker, now in Jail, must be the
man. He accordingly carried the negro down.
called Shumaker out, and he was directly ldeh-
tilted. In this instance there was no mistake,
as Shumaker cried out, "Come after your
money, old man? Well, you won't get II no
more" Erit Justice Wade triumphant, ana
the "emaucipated" in tears.
