LOCAL MATTERS.

A CITIZEN GARRoTED AND ROBBED
About 9 o'clock on Tuesday night last
Mr.. George II. Brown, foreman at the
works of the Union Manufacturing Com
pany of Richmond, was garroted and
robbed near the old "nitre BEDS" short
distance north of the city. The garroters
secured SlOO, gold watch, and pistol.
1t appears that about o'clock police
man Hix met Mr.. Brown, who was under
the influence of liquor, aud engaged ne
gro man to carry him home. At half-past
10 O'Clock Mr.. Brown was brought to the
Third station-house from Mrs. Edward
Grifiths', about mile and half out of
town. An investigation showed that he
had been struck with bludgeon on
the right side of the head. His
statement was that negro and a white
man were to carry him to Lieutenant
Townsend's, near Bacon's Quarter branch.
The men led him across an old deld-the
negro in front and the white man bringing
up the rear. He was then struck on the
head, and fell senseless. On coming to he
found that he had been robbed Of the arti-
cles above stated. He saw house near
by, and went to it. Mrs. Griffiths, the
owner of the house, then sent him, in
charge of the two negroes, to the station
house.
Lieutenant Townsend was sent for,
came, and carried him home, where he
was properly cared for. At last accounts
be was doing well. He does not think
that he would be able to recognize those
who robbed him.

THE TEMPERANCE MovEMENT.-The in
terest in this cause at the present time in
dicates the beginning of a new and, it is
to be hoped, extensive reformation. In
addition to measures lately set on foot
among the temperance men Of Richmond
we have gratifying accounts from the coun-
try. An old-fasbioned Teetotal Society,
under stringent rules, has lately been or
ganized at North Run meeting house, near
the head of the Brook turnpike. Its
meetings are held every Monday
night, ard are remarkably we'll attended
considering the state of the weather. The
last one, though held on the bitterest night
Of the winter, drew out good audience of
ladies aud gentlemen, who remained till
10 O'Clock to hear addresses and participate
in the business of the society.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-02-06

A PLEASANT RETREAT.-For one who
has an hour to spare, or to be occupied in
the city in way that combines pleasure
with bodily comfort and mental improve
ment, there is no more agreeable place
than the warm and quiet rooms of the
Young Mems Christian Association, nearly
opposite the post-office. 1t is very sooth-
ing and delightful to step into these halls,
from the noise and the cares of the busy
street, and among the books and maya
zines displayed on every side to seek en-
tertainment and instruction. This ipsti-
tuition, ON this account alone, deserves the
patronage and encouragement Of the pub
lie. It's library is gradually growing again,
having been from time to time enlarged by
the gifts of friends, whose example will,
we hope, be widely initiated.

RICHMOND MUSICAL BENEVOLENT Asso-

ness of Monday evening, large number

Spotswood Hotel concert-room to perfect
the above organization. The Association

enthusiasm is manifested by its members.
Among the voices we noticed some of the
