ATTEsPT AT SUICIDE.-0n Friday evening
last, Csays the Winchester Nelcs) mulatto,
named John Brown, living on Washington
street, between Amherst aud Picadilly attempt
ed to commit suicide by hanging. 1t appears
that John had been guilty Of whipping his
wife, and was confined in the Jail for the of
fence. He had been released but a short tine,
before he made the attempt. He left his wife
and friends, and went into the yard; his wife
going out shortly after, found him hanging to
beam IN a shed, on thepremises. She raised
the alarm. but none fthe sable brethren came
n the rescue. Several white gentlemen, hear
ing the noise, went to the spot, when they found
John quietly untying the rope, he having, We
suppose, concluded not to " lie Wondering in
the ground" No reason that we can hear was
assigned by Brown, for thus attempting to take
his life, but the supposition is, that he feh dis
graced By being confined in jail. He is the
same negro who was arrested for breaking into
Blr. Lloyd Logans establishment some time
back.
On Thursday the court was engaged in the
trial Of John Brown, Of this county, charged
with stealing horse few months since. He
was found guilty and sentenced to the Peni-
tertiary for FIVE years.
HoPE DEFERRED, &c.-A pleasant New
Years surprise was the three per cent semi-an-
nual dividend paid to the stockholders of the
Winchester & Potomac railroad company
Such a thing has not occurred before for TWEEN
" odd years. It is hoped that a regular an
nual dividend Of six per cent will hereafter be
realised, that being the basis on which the
lease to the B & o. company was formed
The public spirited men who united in the
construction Of this the second railway built in
Virginia, arc mostly in their graves but the
stock is generally in the hands Of their repre-
sentatiyes remarkably little Of it having been
sold.
A PAPER MuL.--We are pleased to learn
that the gentlemen who have recently pur-
chased the Greenwood Mills, contemplate
changing it iutoa paper MILL We hope the
gentlemen viii push on the enterprise, feeling
assured that such an one would be literally
sustained by the press of the Valley.
