the negroes in possession of this farm have
been left uudisturbed, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Government has restored 1t

made through the courts recently to obtain
possession and on Monday last Sheriff Ma
hew and his deputy, Mr.. Stevens, paid a
visit to the farm, armed with writs of eject,
ment. They went down in a buggy, and
coming to TIE village, left the horse and
vehicle in the road. They passed through
the different streets and avenues, leaving
the notices in every house, and when they
returned to their buggy were astonlShso 10
find the buggy, horse, and harness oeco,
rated all over with the notices they hao

Of this, the negroes informed them sn i: no
attention would be paid to these notices

TIE SUPPOSED iNFANTICIDE CAsE-AR-
REST AND EXAMINATIoN-DISCHAR OF
THE ACCUsED-EXCITING SCENES IN COURT.
The public are fully cognizant of the facts,
so far as developed, connected with the sup
posed case Of infanticide which occurred in
this CITY last week. The investigation be-
fore the coroner's jury failed to elicit testi-
mony which could fastcn guilt upon any
person, though it clearly exoncratcd the
family upon whose premises the body OF the
infant was found, and n verdict merely e3-
pressing the differences Of the jury was rem
dcrcd.
Public sentiment, however, WAS not salts
fed, and, rs it appears also, the civil au-
thoritics, who, we presume, IN case OF
such solemn and serious nature, acted as
they thought best for the public good, were
not satisfied either. On Monday it was in
timatcd that some further steps would bc
taken towards probing the secret and de-
vcloping the facts Of the case, and on Tues
day this action was taken.
1t may be proper here to state that sus-
picion attached to Mrs. Wyatt, widow lady,
WHO for some months past has been occupy
inc a room at the residence Of Mr.. John w.
Goodwin, as the mother Of the infant. On
Tuesday morning at an early hour 1t was
ascertaincd that she left town for some point
in the country. As soon as the fact was
known the Mayor detailed nearly one-half
of the police force of the city to trace her
whereabouts, and she was pursued and
brought back to town. She was placed under
surveillance until such time as an inVestl-
cation Of her case could be had.
Yesterday afternoon at ! o'clock special
court, composed of Mayor Pcarce and jus
tees R. G. Greene and Franklin Wood, was
convened to investigate the case.
The courtroom was crowded to It's ut
most capacity, and many persons were I'M
able to gain admittance. Among the au-
dience we noticed number of our most
respectable citizens, -embracin persons OF
nearly all the professions and trades-who
were evidently drawn there through curl
osity or sympathy for the accused. 1t was
apparent by the large attendance that
deep interest was felt in the result of the
case, and it may be we'll here to state that
this interest was fully manifested during
the progress of the examination.
Messrs. John Lyon and Charles S. String
fellow appeared as counsel for Mrs. Wyatt.
The Court, after hearing all the evidence,
announced that in its opinion the evidence
was not of character to justify the Pri-
soncr's detention, and therefore she is dis
charged.
The welkin and the square resoundcd
with cheers on the announcement OF this
decision. -PeterSbsrg Ioder, 9Th.

BAD PRospECT.-A gentleman from the
best tobacco-growing section of Amherst
informs us that the prospect for even half

moro gloomy. In many fields the plants
are no larger than when they were set, and
it ia impossible for them now, even with the
most reasonable weather, to obtain full
growth. The same bad prospect applies to
the corn crop, which is irretrievably ruined
by the long-continued drought. -Lynch-

The Strawberry Association OF
BapSists.


This body met in the town of Liberty,
Bedford county, on Tuesday the Sd instant.
The Association embraces the entire county
of Bcdford--eightcen churches-and por-
tons of Campbell Franklin, and Roanoke
ten churchcs-and is one of the largest local
bodies of the denomination in the State.
After devotional exercises conducted by
the Rev. DR.. Jcter, of Richmond, the intro
ductory sermon was preached by Rev. c. c..
Biting, of Lynchburg, from Matthew XIV,
3: " But in vain do they worship me, teach
ing for doctrines the commandments Of
men,"
Taking Dean Affords definition of the
two religions-the religion Of the Bible and
the religion OF the Church--thc speaker
brought in powerful contrast the simple
rites and prcccpts Of the Bible and the
elaborate ri,ualistic ceremonies which pre-
vail in the world. The discourse was one
of great ability and power, and was listened
to from beginning to cad with deep in
tercst.
In the afternoon the Association was Or
gained by the appointment Of regular Off
GERS for the ensuing year: Rev. J. A. Da-
Wis, of Liberty, moderator Rev. c. c.
Hcnesly, of Liberty, treasurer.
At night Rev. DR.. Jctcr preached to o
large congregation.
The attendance of delegates and friends
is represented as unusually large for the
first day.
SECOND DAY.
The Association assembled promptly at
9 O'Clock; the attendance of members full,
and the congregation crowded.
After incidental business, lengthy and
interesting report on education was read by
Elder i. Eubank, Of Bedford. The report
elected short and pithy speeches by DR..
Jetcr, C. S. Cooke, Professor Rawlings, and
Rev. Mr.. Hume, of Danville; after which,
the congregation was addressed at length
by Rev. DR.. Curry, Of Richmond, on the
general subject.
The Doctor scared above all local, Sec
tartan, and denominational interests, and
in mastery speech Of one hour and u half
lahored to impress the Importance of edu-
cation to all classes and all professions.
He said that systems of education might be
adopted which look solely to intellectual
culture, and urged that moral influences,
especially as they work through successive
generations, should be carefully guarded.
Educational systems often fix and deter
mine the civilization of n people, carrying
them forward to the highest pitch of moral
worth, influence, or power, or ending in
their total corruption and ruin. He spoke
of Virginia as becoming the educational
centre of the South, and predicted that it
was within the range of possibilities that
this Old Dominion may yet be looked to
from all quarters Of this vast continent as
possessing the best standards in all educa-
tional interests. His speech made q pro-
found impression.
II the afternoon the subject Of State
missions was considered. Addresses by Rev.
Messrs. Fisher, Davis, and Biting, and II.
Hatcher.
At night, Rev. T. Hume, Of Danville,
preached.
