herein imposed shall be levied on the
FIRST day Of March, and be due and pay

enact the law, as the revenue from this

THE exhibition Of postage stamps re-
Gently held in one of the apartments OF
the Paris Mint, attracted great atten-
ton. Tho finest display was made by

of the flight of Mohamed, tho year OF
the reign Of the Sultan, aud the value

Tho charlottesville Homicide.

The reader will ind in our paper to-day
an account of the killing of DR.. ANTHONY
Il. OLIVER Yesterday, in charlottesville, by
GEORGE c. AVER, Of LoudOun, for IN offence
which society considers as .ius'itying The
taking Of life. Mr.. AVER is Il respectable
gentleman and an exemplary church men,
Der, and proceeded to the execution OF his
intentions upon the alleged slayer of the
peace of his family very deliberately. The
facts of the case will be brought out in the
examination of the accused.
DR.. OLIVER came recently to Virginia
from neutrality-suspicious.. He made
himself well known in & good part of the
State by his zeal on the subject OF immlgra-
ton and his views Of agricultural improve
mcnt. At the late Agricultural Fair he
made an interesting speech to the Pomo-
logical Society. III which he described his
tour in the United States in search Of Il
proper home for a large number OF the
people amongst whom he lived, and his III
innate selection of the Valley and Piedmont
regions as best adapted for them OF all the
lands he had seen in 4 journey OF 11,U0O
miles. lie induced some siXty-odd families
to come over with him. He settled in Char
lottcsville asa practitioner of medicine. and
his companions found homes in different
parts of Piedmont and the Valley. At the
Fair he exhibited 4 doublc-barrelled breech-
loader which he said was the invention Of
his brother in Scotland.
DR.. OLIVER was in manners quite frank
and. neutrality-suspicious. a little too much IN
clincd to press acquaintanceship and conf
dence. and a very rapid and pretty good
talkcr. He waStreated with much courtesy
here. Last year. upon his appearance III
the Piedmont region, he is said to have
gained the friendship of Mr.. AVER, who
gave him letters of introduction to promi-
ncut gentlemen in different counties.
