A brutal murder was committed ON the
18th in this county. The victim was a
young man, about eighteen years old, by
the name Of Hiram Bishop, well known in
this city. The murderer is colored boy
by the name of George Cooper, also youth
of about eighteen. There has been some
misunderstanding existing between them
for some weeks past, and Cooper has sought
opportunities to quarrel with him, and even
went so far on one occasion as to endeavor
to get Bishop to meet him at some point
away from his friends, but the brother of
deceased prevailed upon him not to crafty
his wishes. Yesterday they met, when the
dispute between them was renewed. FL
nally Cooper went off and procured an axe.
Returning, the quarrel was resumed,
Cooper daring young Bishop to strike him.
The latter had small stick in his hand,
with which he finally struck his antagonist,
which was no sooner done than Cooper
raised his axe and struck Bishop on the
head with it, inflicting wound from which
he died shortly afterwards. Cooper is in
jail Wilmington Nv. CO. Star.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
HoT SPRINGS, Va, August 10, 1870.
Tonight at S:45 there was a splendid dis
play of the aurora borealis in the northern
and western horizon. The piazza was
thronged with the visitors in mute admira-
ton at the gorgeously-lit heavens. Some
had never seen a similar sight before, and
none had seen one more splendid. At 9:15
the northern light seemed to move gradu-
ally to the east, and finally faded away.
Among the wondering group stood in digni-
fed silence General R. L. Lee, who, with
other venerable heads, wondered at the
mightiness of the author Of so glorious q
sight. ...-..-. .-
