BODY OF GIRL FOUND DEAD IN HEN
RICo.-The neighborhood of Darbytown
was very much startled on Saturday morn
ing by the finding of the corpse of colored
girl on the Central or Darbytown road, about
three and half miles below this city.
Suspicious of another foul murder were
entertained by all who saw the body. The
clothes of the deceased were all off. Her
shoes were gone, and diligent search
failed to bring them forth. The ground
around gave seeming evidence of con-
siderable struggle. Justice Peasants, act
ing coroner, Immediately upon receiving
the above information, ordered jury to be
summoned. This body-composed of the
following gentlemen: B. F. Dickinson,
James F. Bradley, NJ. Laughnane, j. r.
Roper, Jr., Robert Bennett, George Prock-
lington, r. X. Peasants, G. P. Drinker, c.
H. A. Clay, A. Wiltz, j. II. Smith, and
John S. Becker-at once proceeded to the
discharge of their duty.
The body was recognized as being that
of Georgeanna Griffin, about thirteen years
old, formerly slave of Robert h. Styll,
ESQ, but recently in the employment OF
Mr.. George D. Peasants. The testimony
elected from the witnesses went to show
that about week since the deceased had
become gloomy and respondent, had fre-
quently walked out at night, that the night
before her death she had remained out
nearly the entire night. Whenremonstrated
with, she said that she had "got lost, and
when she found herself she was nearly a
mile from home." She was asked by one
of the witnesses why she walked out Sc
much. Her answer was that she "was
looking for Jesus, and she had to 60 wher-
ever her mind led her." Her mental con-
dition had so affected her physical that her
employers had given her medicine and told
her to keep her room, and for two days she
had remained there during the day, but
would get up and walk out at night that
on Friday night she had left about7 o'clock
and was missed during the night; but a.
this had happened on previous occasions, nc
notice was taken of it by her colored room.
mates.
The jury, after hearing the evidence,
rendered verdict "that the deceased, in
the unsettled condition of her mind, had
wandered from home, and came to her death
some time during the night from cold and
exposure"
Inc point at WHICH INC Douy was iouhu
was just where the road to Currie's leaves
the main road. The surface of the ground
showed that before death there must have
been violent struggle of the deceased
when about expiring, and this idea is con.
firmed by the fact that her clothes were
torn from her body. The garments, con.
siderably torn, were near the body, and
partly entangled about the feet. There
were no marks of violence about the body
so that the idea entertained at first OF tou
play was not considered by the jury, and
not proven by the testimony. The deceased
was inclined to mental alteration, and had
a spell similar to that which has now ter
minated in her, death about year ago.
The body was taken in charge by Justice
Peasants, and buried on his place yester.
day afternoon.

These are all the changes made in the
law regulating the assessment of property.
LICENSE TAXES.
The law in regard to the assessment and
collection of license taxes has not been
amended, and the commissioners of the
revenue and the sheriffs will commence on
next Monday, the first day of April, to as
sess and collect the license taxes under
the old law. Mr.. WILLIAM f. TAYLOR,
Auditor of Public Accounts, will to-day
issue orders to this effect to his revenue
officers. AS he relies upon the receipts
from licenses for large portion of the
amount required to pay the interest on
the public debt on the 1st of July, he can
not wait to see if the Legislature may
change the tax on licenses when it re;is-
sembles in April, but must proceed at
once to make provision for maintaining the
credit of the State.

PLANT THE FLowERs.-The beauty and
attractiveness of Richmond in times past
was not in magnifcence of architecture
and palatial private residences, but in
something much simpler, and still attaina-
BILE by our impoverished and oppressed
people-viz., the adornment of their
grounds with tastefully- arranged flowers
and shrubbery. There are evident causes
for the neglect of establishment and care
lessness as to appearances for the past
five or six years. But this should now
cease, and all should strive to bring back
cheerfulness to their homes. The effort
alone will do q great deal Of good. Out
door exercise is conducive to health OF
mind as well as body and much of the
gloom which has been hanging over us will
disappear if we can occupy ourselves with
our flowers in the bright spring days that
are coming. Fortunately, ours is not a
crowded city, and majority Of dwelling
houses have larger or smaller yards in front
or at the side. Those, even, who have only
few square feet may derive much enjoy
ment from the cultivation of well-selected
flowers which do not require much space.
Let every one who can, plant something,
and let the warm days find everybody busy
in their yards and gardens.

CITY RAILwAY.-By reference to an ad-
vertisement elsewhere in to-day's paper
stockholders in the city railway will read
something of interest to them. Those who
own the old stock are required to report
the number of shares held by them, and
exhibit the necessary evidences of their
titles. There is a two-told object in this ;
the first is to reduce the number of shares
Of the old stock and the second, to find
out who are the holders of the certificates.
This latter is rendered necessary from the
fact that the books Of the company were
all destroyed in the fire of the Sd of April,
1865. Where the scrip has been destroyed,
a certificate Of publication in newspaper
will be necessary to enable the holder to
prove his right to it.
