EASTERN LUNATIC AsYLUM.-This State
institution, which has recently been placed
under the superintendent Of DR.. D. r.
Brewer, has now within its walls lS6 pa
tients, most of whom are in good bodily
health, and doing well in other respects. A
majority Of the inmates are educated per-
sons, and very fond of reading.
1t is the opinion of the present superin-
tendent that good reading matter is alb
solutely necessary for the proper treatment
of the insane, but he finds the asylum sup
piled with few books, periodicals, or news
papers. There are doubtless many persons
in Richmond and throughout the State who
would gladly contribute old books to the
asylum for certainly they could make no
better disposition Of them. DR.. G. S. Mills,
our city sergeant, has interested himself in
this matter, and will receive contributions
and forward them to DR.. Brewer. If our
citizens will respond to this appeal they will
make glad the hearts of many unfortunate
people. We are requested to say that any
books or periodicals-no matter how old or
worn-will be accepted and forwarded by
DR.. Mills.

BELL-RISGING BoYs.-The residents Of
Franklin and some of the cross streets
have been very much annoyed of late at
the disorderly conduct of several boys,
both white and colorcd, who make a nightly
habit of ringing the bells Of residences
along Franklin street from Eighth to Sixth,
and along the cross streets from franklin
to Grace. They sally out in squads of Il
dozen or more, a boy is stationed at each
door-bell, and at O preconcerted signal o
Simultaneous pull is given. 4 gathering Of
feet i5 heard, dash is made around q cor
ner or into en- alley, and in a little while
the rogues emerge from their hiding-places
ready for another attack. We have been
informed that some bells have been rung
By these young rascals as often as ten or
twelve times of an evening aud We have
been requested not only to call the atten-
ton of the police to this nuisance, but to
say that unless it is abated their names
will be unhesitatingly furnished to the
Mayor.

BRINGING IN sHEAvEs. I've have re-
ceived from the publisher a copy of this
very popular work. The New York lnde-
pendent says Of it.:
"He has embodied in this volume his
revival experiences-a story, a sermon, O
conversation, letter, rs they chance to
come. He invites, in short. the reader to
sit down for an hour and look over his jour
nal and scrap-book. 1t will afford to many
a minister illustrations out of real life, and
will quicken many one to more earnest
work and importunate prayer. And in
many sick chamber, and on many rainy
Sunday, it will prove an agreeable com
panion for the hour to some, who, kept from
church, will find in the very fragmentari-
ness On element of charm in the very bre-
vity and suggestiveness Of its hints and
seed-thoughts food for reflection"
1t is sold by subscription, and may be
obtained of Mr.. Salon, agent of the pub
Usher, ut Ford's Hotel.

The WEATHER AND VEGETATION.-The
remarkably mild weather of the winter
which is now drawing to close has been
srch as to push vegetation forward to such
IN oxtent as to endanger at least the crop Of
fruit for the present year. Indeed, we are
informed already that hard frost and freeze
now would kill the peaches and apricots.
Some trees in the city are looking as green
IS they usually do in March or April. A
gentleman residing in Fluvanna told US two
weeks since that he had measured some
wheat fourteen inches in height in his
field.
The average range Of the thermometer,
taken at O'Clock in the morning, for the
present month is 36 3-l6, varying from %
ION the 5th) to 53, which it reached on the
18th.

THE OPERA.-Biscaccianti opera troupe
have given our amusement-loVers two very
creditable operate entertainments, and we
are pleased to say they have been well
patronized. 1t is to be regretted that their
engagement is 60 short, as considerable
anxiety is manifested to witness their rem
dition of some other operas.
Madam Testa is Of prepossessing per-
sonal appearance, and is an admirable
actress. Her voice, too, is sweet and clear.
After these remarks, we need hardly say
that she is already fayorite with Rich
mond audiences. Signor Reina has per-
haps been better received here, however,
than any other member of the company.
His is clear, strong baritone, and ne il
thoroughly acquainted with the characters
which he takes. OF the other artists We
cannot speak particularly, except to say
that Susini is every bit himself, and wins
as many plaudits as in his younger days.
Tonight the opera of Martha, which
always draws good house in Richmond,
will be presented, and We can confidently
predict that the largest and most fashlona-
Bile audience Of the season will be III at
tendance.

FIRE.-The citizens Of Manchester were
aroused from their slumbers on yesterday
morning about l o'clock by the alarm of
fire, caused by the burning Of one OF the
"dry houses" attached to the bucket fac
tory Of Messrs. Allen & Co. The house,
with its contents, was entirely destroyed, ,
and but for the efforts Of the citizens ne
doubt the main building would have shared
the same fate. The loss is supposed to be
about $i00. In consequence Of the i'm
provements which are being made to the
Water Works of the town, the "Hope Fire
Company" was not called out. One or
more companies from Richmond, however,
were promptly on hand, but could render
no assistance.

A TRUE BILL AGAINST JAS. GRANT.

At noon yesterday the grand jury of
Judge Burnham's court presented, among
others, the following true bill against James
Grant for the murder of H. Rives Pollard :
"Tnginia-Gty of Richmond, to uit:
In the Court of Hastings for the city Of
Richmond, held by the Judge thereof
1.-THE grand jurors of the Common wealth
Of Virginia in and for the city of Rich
mond, duly summoned to attend the Court
Of Hastings for the city Of Richmond, held
by the Judge thereof, upon their oashs pre-
sent that James P. Grant, on the 24th
day of November, in the year eighteen
hundred and sixty-eight, at the city of
Richmond, and within the jurisdiction of
this court, in and upon the body of Henry
Rives Pollard, in the peace of said common
wealth, then and there being, feloniously,
wilfully, and of his malice aforethought,
did make an assault, and that the said James
?. Grant, with certain double -barrelled
gun, then and there charged with gun
powder and divers leaden missiles COM
monty called buckshot, which said double
barrelled gun he, the said James ?. Grant,
in his right hand then and there had and
held, then and there feloniously, wilfully,
and of his malice aforethought, discharged
and shot off to, against, and upon the said
Henry Rives Pollard; and that the said
James Grant, with the divers leaden mis-
siles, commonly called buckshot, aforesaid,
out of the double barrelled gun, by the
said James Grant discharged and shot of
as aforesaid, then and there feloniously,
wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, did
Henry Rives Pollard in and upon the
right side of the neck and upon the right
side of the body Of him, the said
Henry Rives Pollard, then and there
giving to him, the said Henry Rives Pollard,
then and there, With the divers leaden mis-
siles, commonly called buckshot, aforesaid,
SO as aforesaid discharged and shot out of
the double-barrelled gun aforesaid by the
said James Grant in and upon the right

Grant, him, the said Henry RiVes Pollard,
in the manner and by the means aforesaid,
feloniously, wilfully, and Of his malice
afore.hought, did kill and murder, against
the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth
of Virginia"
Upon this indictment Mr.. Grant was ar
rajgned, and pleaded "not guilty."
After some discussion between counsel it
was agreed that the case shall be tried on
Tuesday next at II A. NJ. This delay of a
few days is occasioned by the absence of
Colonel Marmaduke Johnson, who is in
Tarmville fulfilling en- important profes-
sional engagement.
The question OF bail then arising, Mr..
Bundy, the Commonwealth attorney,
urged that the accused be committed to Jail
to await his trial. To this the defence OBJ
jectcd, and finally the question wa5 laid
over until to-day. In the mean time the
accused is at large.
