LOCAL MATTERS.

MYsTER1oUs.-Tuesday morning early a
colored man found floating in the dock
near its intersection with Fifteenth street
a large black morocco pocket book. 1t
contains many papers valuable to the
owner, some fractional currency, and q
check on one Of our city banks. From an
examination of the papers it has evidently
belonged to some one bearing the name of
j. NJ. Poindexter. 1t may be that the
owner has been foully dealt with, or pos
sihly the book was stolen, and then
thrown into the dock to avoid detection.
Many Of the receipts and other papers are
dated at Charlottesville, Va; and perhaps
some Of our readers in that section may be
enabled to throw light on o matter now
enveloped in mystery.

MONTHLY REPORT BOARD OF HEALTH
Office Board Health, Richmond, 9th Sep
tember, lS67.-Gentlemen,-The Board
has received official notice from the Freed
mems Bureau Of the discontinuance on its
part Of the employment of the district
physicians for the indigent sick colored
population of the city. These gentlemen
were also entrusted by your body with the
medical care Of the INDECENT whites within
the corporate limits, and received COM
pensation from the city and the Bureau
for their services. From the monthly re-
ports it appears that this charity has been
used to limited extent by the whites.
Unless the Council is prepared to assume
control and management of the entire
population of the city requiring medical
aid we think the arrangement by which
these gentlemen were selected may with
propricty be suspended. But inasmuch
as the city ultimately will be compelled
to provide for the wants of the entire in
digent population, we respectfully call
your attention and ask your favorable con-
sideration to the proposition Of the Facul-
ty of the Medical College Of Virginia ten
dering their buildings and appliances for
the establishment of city hospital and
dispensary, and supplying gratuitously
from their body medical and surgical ad-
vice. Under the crippled condition of the
citizens it is not to be expected that pri-
vate means will be able to supply a chari-
ty so much needed, and it will be ncces-
sary for your body to provide for want SO
pressing. The clinical instruction which
can thus be secured to the students of the
college will invite large attendance, and
the city will thus in great measure be
repaid for the outlay and expense of con-
Quoting such an establishment. We are
happy to state that the health Of the city
continues good. Very respectfully,
j. q. CABELL,
President Board of Health.
To President and Members Common Council.

HENRIco COUNTY CoURT.-The court
met yesterday forenoon at the usual hour
The following justices were present: Geo
D. Pleasants (presidiDg justice), William
Hendrick, c. w. Petherbridge, Thomas L
Peasants, and William E. Wade.
| The following cases were called:
William Green, white, charged with
stealing gun from Jefferson Melton. The
case was argued by Messrs. Berry, Atkin.
son, Thomas, and Page for the accused
and John B. Young, Esq, for the Com.
monwealth. The jury could not agree
upon verdict, and accused was admitted
to bail.
Beverly Williams and William N. Tyler
charged with stealing two mules from the
stable Of DR.. Lohand on the night of Fri.
day the 9th Of August last, made applica.
tion for bail.
Williams is exceedingly i'll with inter.
mittent fever, and has been for some time
past, and on this ground chiefly was the
application for bail made. The prisoner
was brought into court on blanket, and
being unable to sit up, lay in recumbent
position all the time. He was exceed.
ingly pale and emaciated, and looked as il
his dissolution were close at hand. The
prisoners were represented by Messrs
Thomas, Page, and Atkinson, and the ex.
animation was protracted through several
hours.
The court decided to bail the accused
in the sum of $500 each, which was given

famed him during the whole examination
and at its close procured carriage, into
which he was placed and taken home.

THE MYSTERY PROBABLY EXPLAINED
We learned late last night that Mr.. J. NJ.
Poindexter, Of the Dexter House, Char
lottesville, gave information last evening
at police headquarters that he had been
robbed some time during Monday night.
He lost gold watch, $500 in greenbacks,
and some valuable papers. He had bag
of gold on his person, but this the light
fingered gentry did not succeed in finding.
Mr.. Pondexter attended the performance
at Parker's Opera House during the early
part of Monday evening, and witnessed
the sights, but thinks the robbery was
committed between the opera-house and
the Exchange Hotel, where he is stop
ping. He discovered upon reaching the
hotel that both pantaloons pockets had
been cut into from the front, and his trca-
sure stolen, but has not the remotest idea
when or by whom the dexterous operation
was performed.

THE RECENT "FIAsco" AT THE P ENITEN-
TIARY.-We inadvertently omitted to men
ton in our notice yesterday that the
estate Guard" took hand in keeping
the fleeing felons in their prison bounds on
Thursday morning last. A messenger
having been dispatched to the armory,
Lieutenant Poyner, the officer in CON-
mand, hastened up with reIntorcements,
reaching there in fifteen minutes time.
Ouly two of the prisoners could be dis
cerned on the roof upon the arrival of the
Lieutenant, and these came down at the
Leutenant's bidding. Colonel Pendleton,
the Superintendent, and all the inner
guard, we are informed, did their duty no.
bly,; but the Colonel, not knowing the ex-
tent of the "plot" at first glance, deemed
it prudent to have all the available force
at hand. 1t is gratifying to know that not
one escaped, and that all the guard, both
private and State, were so eager to engage
in the good work.

SHocKoE HILL CEMETERT.-Since the
establishment of Hollywood much Of the
interest which formerly centred upon
Shockoe Hill Cemetery has been diverted
to its rival in the western part Of the city.
But the old resting-place for Richmoud's
dead has not been neglected. A walk
through its sacred grounds day or two
since enabled US to observe that it is kept
with scrupulous regard to neatness. The
shrubbery is kept closely trimmed, and the
walks are clear of grass. Nearly all the
graves have been remounded and returfed,
and many beautiful spot bears unmis-
taxable evidence that the memory Of those
who repose beneath is cherished with the
fondest recollection. Beautiful flowers,
planted by the hand of Affection, decorate
the marrow beds" and fill the air with
their fragrance. Many of Richmond's once
most eminent citizens now repose beneath
the sod at Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and
visitors will find tombs and tablets there
which tell the virtues of soldier and civil
ian, the wise, the pious, and the noble.
