CHARGED WITH STEALING A HORSE.-A
case was tried in the jury-room of the
county court house yesterday afternoon
before Justices Farrar and Yeatman which
excited some merriment among the crowd
present. John Doherty had caused war
rant to be issued for the arrest Of Lucen
Gerard, who, it was alleged had unlawful
possession of a horse belonging to him
(Doherty). THE inevitable Mrs. Dohcrty
was present, and exercised her tongue
with more glibncss than ever. The Do
hertys, it will be remembered, have re-
Gently given the Henrico justices considc-
rable trouble by reason Of their COWS tres
passing upon the premises of neighbors,
and from the frequency of complaints
about these cows the public have been in
duced to believe that the seattle upon q
thousand hills" belonged to the Do
hertys.]
In the case heard yesterday the accused
was a Frenchman who could not speak
one word Of English, and was compelled to
make his defence through an interpreter.
He represented that he was engaged at his
farm in Henrico in the peaceful pursuits
Of agriculture and horticulture, and took
charge Of the horse, which was an estray,
only at the earnest solicitation Of a half
dozen or more respectable citizens. He
told everybody he met he had the horse,
and caused a notice to he publicly posted
to this effect. Mrs. Doherty, interrupt
ing.-"I have moved to the city, and
want city rights and city jnstice."l Two
witnesses testified that Gerard used the
horse publicly on his farm, and made no
effort to conceal him. Justice Farrar also
stated that he knew the accused had not
attempted in any way TO secrete the ami
NAL.
The magistrates announced as their de-
cision that the warrant should be dismiss
ed, the horse turned over to Doherty,
and that Doherty must pay the costs
Sl.3O. Here Mrs. Doherty's rage knew
no bounds, and her tongue became an
unruly member indeed. She would spake
her mind if it cost her her salvation. In
defiance of the orders of sherifis, consta-
bles, magistrates, or anybody else, she
would give it as her opinion that D0herty's
baste had been stolen by a French vaga-
bone. This all the world might know. She
finally left the courtroom, vowing that she
had moved from the bloody county, and
that she would have city rights and city
Justice. In the mean time Doherty vowed
he didn't have Sl.30, and the horse was
turned over to the keeper of q livery sta
Bile until further orders.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Night
before last about 10 o'clock, wagon
drawn by four horses, loaded with wood
and other articles, and destined for
Camp Grant, was attacked by negroes.
The attack occurred on the extreme
western end of Cary street near its in
tersection with the railroad connection,
and would have been successful but for
the proximity Of sergeant riding near,
who was attracted to the wagon by the
cries Of the driver, who shouted " Rob-
bers!" quite Justify. The negroes had sue
cecded in throwing a few articles from the
vehicle, when sergeant came up and dis
charged pistol at the thieves. The ex,
plosion Of the firearm was sumner, and
so frightened the negroes that they leaped
to the ground and ran like quarter horses.
1t is much to be regretted that none OF the
scoundrels were arrested.

THE WooD BUsINEss.-The magnitude
this business has assumed in Richmond is
to many matter of surprise. A gentle
man thoroughly informed and of great ex-
perience estimates the amount Of wood
consumed in Richmond during q twelve
month at $1,000 cords. 1t were unneces-
sary to 60 into details here showing how
this conclusion is arrived at, but We enter
tain'little doubt that it is nearly or quite
correct. A general impression prevails
that the great bulk of the wood consumed
in Richmond is brought by the James River
and Kanawha canal. This, We are as
sured, is erroneous. A large quantity is
brought in by the canal, but much larger
quantity by river and the. five railways
running into the city. In the course of q
year much wood reaches Richmond in
carts and wagons. It is estimated that

The FORD CUTTING CAsE.-Yesterday
for the third time, the colored individual
Winston Smith appeared before the Mayor
to answer the charge Of cutting Mrs. Ensy
Ford with butchers knife. Mrs. Ford,
an aged lady, appeared in court with her
arm in sling.
1t appeared from the testimony that on
Sunday evening last Winston commenced
beating his wife, who escaped from him
and ran to the house Of Mrs. Ford and
begged for protection. She had hardly
gotten into the house before Winston came
in, seized and stripped her naked, and
then carried her into the yard, saying he
intended killing her with the butchers
knife he held in his hand. Mrs. Ford
went out and demonstrated with the
brute, when he threw her violently to the
ground, ipjuring her on the head. Her
mother, Mrs. Ensy Ford, seeing this, came
out of the house, when Winston turned on
her and cut her on the right arm with the
butchers knife, inhicting wound several
inches in length, which, though painful, is
not serious. He then ran off. A warrant
was gotten out, and he was arrested.
The Mayor sent Winston to Jail to
await until the third Monday Of this
month, when he will be brought before the
Hastings Court.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE FROM THE PENITEN-
TIARY.-Between ] | and II O'Clock Thurs
day night nine prisoners attempted to es-
cape from the penitentiary, but were dis
covered in time by the guard and locked
up. They played sick and got into the
hospital, from which they cut through into
a room above, and thence to the roof, and
prepared to let themselves to the ground
with rope with which they had provided
themselves. While thus engaged, crazy
colored fellow lying in the hospital called
the interior guard, and informed him of the
state of affairs. He Immediately called
out the guard, and had the parties arrested,
as above stated. Two Of the party were
white the rest colored.

MARROW EscAPE.-Y yesterday afternoon,
as the schooner T. w. Ware, of Philadel-
pha, was entering the ship-lock at the
lower end of the Dock, seaman on board
named John Roberts lost his footing and
fell overheard. Unfortunately he could
not swim stroke, but as he went over
board he seized line, to which he clung
with the tenacity of a dying man. Con-
siderable delay was occasioned by the con-
sternation which Immediately filled all
present, and it was only after the drown
ing man had sunk three times that he was
drawn ashore. He had swallowed con-
siderable quantity Of water, which had the
happy effect of producing nausea, and the
overdose was thus elected from the sto-
mach. He soon revived sufficiently to
walk, and when we left the scene was re-
garded as past all danger.

HEAVY Loss.-A gentleman who reached
the city yesterday informs US of a singular
and heavy loss sustained by a lady while
on board one of the ocean steamers be-
tween New York and Richmond. The
lady was sitting under the awning on the
hurricane deck busily plying her fan.
While her attention was directed to
passing ship, she unfortunately piled the
fan too near her person, and it raked from
ber bosom a magnificent diamond brooch,
knocking it into the sea. The value of the
pin il greenbacks was $500, but it possessed
more than moneyed value to the untor-
tunate loser. 1t was the gift of q young
gentleman whose atfianced she is, and that
gentleman is now making a European
tour in the hope Of restoring shattered
constitution. Should his system succumb
to disease and death, and be never return,
the diamond pin would, indeed, be
souvenir - to the loser of most priceless
value.
The loss is really most singular one,
and will not occur again probably in a
thousand years. 1t forcibly recalls the
couplet:
Full many gem of purest ray serene,
The dark, unfathomcd caves of ocean bear"

having entered the house of Mr.. John
McMahon and stealing therefrom a barrel

articles. AS stated in the Dispatch of yes
terday, the affair occurred in December,
1865, and was nothing more nor less than
the serving of distress warrant By the
constable of the city at Signiago's instance
for house rent due. The Mayor dismissed
the case.

500 families derive their daily sustenance
in this way. Thirty years ago there was
but one wood dealer in Richmond now
there are nineteen licensed dealers.
Thirty years ago the wood used for fuel
was all cut eight feet, in length; now it
rarely exceeds four feet. Then sawed and
split wood were unknown; now it Is fur
nished all lengths which may be desired,
and split up so finely that it resembles
