LOCAL MATTERS.

THE HENRICo MURpER-MoRE MYSTERY.
The last heard of the Henrico murder was
that the supposed murdered woman,
Jennie Edwards, was alive and we'll in
Norfolk. This left the officers without a
clue, but hardly twenty -four hours had
elapsed before they had another equally as
strong, and such as led Us to believe
that the mystery was about to De cleared.
1t appeared that woman from New
Kent county reported her niece, young
woman described as being very much like
the murdered one, as missing. She had
been sent up to this city few days prior
TO the finding of the dead body in charge
OF man with produce cart, and had not
since been heard from. The clothing OF
the deceased was examined BY Tie woman
from New Kent, who identified the
country-knit cotton stockings. A hole in
tho toe of one Of the stockings she said
she darned herself. The garterS found
upon the body were knit Of cotton, and
answered to the description of those worn
by her niece. The hair was alike, and the
general description answered well. Major
Poe, Chief Of the Police, and Detective
Tyler, were dispatched for New Kent on
Saturday, with blank warrant, and in
structions, if they should find out that this
young woman was still missing, not to
leave without obtaining the marketman in
whose charge she had been given. Upon
their arrival in New Kent they found that
the supposed murdered woman had re-
turned home, and was alive and well.
Here the matter rests, and it seems as
if the most skilful and earnest efforts of
the officers Of the law were all doomed to
be baffled.

THE CIRCUs.-The circus is coming.
Good gracious! what circus, and how
formidable is its retinue of animals, from
the big elephant to the baby elephant; the
rhinoceros to the tapir; the lion to the
ocelot; and the whole collection winding
up with those little devils the monkies, the
comedians of the brute race. "a. Fore
paugh, sole proprietor !" What man he
must be, to own such fine show Of men
and horses, such forest full Of wonderful
animals Forepaugh is greater man
than Peabody. He must be the richest
man in the world. What is an elephant
worth! Untold gold-so also lion, and
when he gets a man in his forepaw, you
may depend upon it it will be "a fore.
paw, sole proprietor" Now, this is q
great affair. We know man who is com
ing fifty miles to see it What time fol-
children! What capers the horses, what
leaps the riders, what feats the ladder and
rope men, what grimaces the monkies,
| what shocking roars the lions, what grunts
the elephants-each and all will cut and
give in their respective ways! Then the
tinery and dear Mr.. Merryman, with his
happy Jokes, and the little girls and boys
jumping hoops and garters, (the girls have
q great fancy for these things)-who car
stay away from the circus! Boys, We
will all have to go; and alas for the Ma
tional Bank of Bootblack, Shoeshine anG
Company Thrice has it been broken il
two years, and now here comes anothe
circus to take its last dollar. Forepaugl
will get it all.

No WATER-No FIRE.-For ten days vi
to Saturday night the Water Works had
been unable to throw gallon of water into
the reservoir. And for that ten days the
citizens have been full Of apprehensions OF
dreadful consequences Of fire. In these
feelings the insurance companies sympa-
thised with peculiar earnestness. Yet not
a single alarm occurred during all that
long time; for never were ten longer days
to this community. That's something to be
thankful for.
1t is proper to say, however, that our
city authorities were not so oblivious OF
their duty as to leave the city entirely un-
protected in such an exigency as a fire.
Water was held in reserve for that. There
was quite enough in the reservoirs at the
time of shutting off the supply from the
city to meet the demands of fire.
