PETERSBURG, December Is, 1868.

PETERSBURS, UeCeWpeE 40, iooo'
The Relief Association which was or
ganized few evenings ago under appa-
rently favorable auspices had meeting
Last night, at which feeling OF so mncn
opposition was manifested by the white
members to anything like concert Of action
with the blacks that the whole scheme fell
through, and the Association was dissolved.
The citizens have fallen back upon the or
panization Of last year, which will hence
forth receive their support, while the ne
croes are left to their own efforts in relieving
the INDECENT among them.
The quarterly term of the Hastings Court
will commence its sessions tomorrow, with
the prospect of being diligently occupied
for several days. There are about dozen
cases Of felony, and nearly twice as many
of misdemeanor. For some time past the
Jail has been quite crowded with prisoners
sent on by the Mayors court for trial.
There is every probability, therefore, that
Superintendent Wardwell will soon be re-
inforced by large accession Of convicts
from this city, to supply in part the place
Of those who may be released under Judge
Underwood's rulings.
The remains of the late Judge Gholson
are to be brought here for interment in the
family burying ground at Blandford oeme-
terry. They are expected to arrive by the
train tomorrow night or the next morning.
He so lately spent few days among u.s.,
apparently in the enjoyment Of excellent
health, that his death has produced pro-
found sensation.
The funeral of DR.. Thweatt was very
largely attended to-day, showing the high
respect in which he was held by this COM
nunitY. ..

THE JUDGE AND THE CULPRIT.-Lord
Chief Justice Holt, when young, was very
extrayagant, and belonged to club of #ild
fellows, most of whom took to an Infamous
course of life. When his lordship was en-
gagged, on certain occasion, at the ola Bal
lev. a man: was tried and convicted Of rob-
berry on the highway whom the Judge
remembered to have been one of his old
companions. Moved by that curiosity
which is natural on retrospection of past
life, and thinking the fellow did not know
him, Justice Holt asked what had become
of such and such of his old associates.
The culprit, making q low bow, and fetch
ing deep sigh, said, "Ah, my lord, they
are all hanged but your lordship and l."

Dutchman " was Professor Louis Agassiz.
A lady who had refused an awkward but
wealthy sutton said to friend as he passed,
" Look at him Could you marry him even

"Emma," said little girl to her school
mate, wouldn't it be awful if somebody
should shoot our schoolmistress ?" yes"
was the reply, shut, then, wouldn't it be
nice not to have any school ?"

his reply; "sf some one must be last"

said Mathews, "r beg you'll let me have
something of yours for remembrancer."

"we'll exchange umbrellas!' Mathews
was so taken by storm that Munden walked
off with 8 new umbrella.
