at about I or 8 O'Clock the hen.house OF
Mr.. Chitman, on Franklin street, near the
corner Of Foushee, was broken into by q
negro, and one chicken had been captured,
when some one unknown advanced upon
the rear of the thief and opened fire upon
him. Five shots were fred, the last one
of which took effect in his back. He was
not disabled, however, and would have
made his escape but for the timely arrival
of a policeman, who captured him and
carried him to the station house, where he
learned that his name was James Henry
Polk Britt. The person who fred the
shots has not been discovered.

CIRCUIT Court OF RIcHMoSD-JUDGE
MEREDITH PREsIDING.-The will of John
W. McKiel, deceased, was admitted to
record, and his wife, Mary McKiel, ap-
peared and qualified as executrix, giving
bond in the penalty Of $4,000 without Sc
curity, the will requiring that there should
be none.
The Acknowledgement instituted mo-
tion, on the part Of the Commonwealth,
against Messrs. c. W. Purcell and Joseph
K. Anderson, stockholders in the National
Express and Transportation Company, for
the recovery of taxes due to the State by
said company. Messrs. Imboden, Howard,
and Maciarland appeared for the defend
ants, and objected to the motion on the
ground that the law authorizing such mo-
tions was Illegal and the informality of the
notice given by the Attorney-General.
The court took time to consider.

And George has welded gold,
And we are not the same, Frank,
For we are growing old.
How changed from what w thought, Frank
