SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPT AT HOMICIDE IN
KING AND QUEEN.-Tidings of serious dis.
turbance of the public peace in King and
Queen county reached this city yesterday:
The scene of the affair was the village OF
Little Plymouth, about six miles from King
and Queen Courthouse. Mr.. James Spen-
Ger, q school teacher of good reputation,
was charged with the seduction of Miss
Moore, q young lady of highly-respectable
family, and the charge coming to the notice
of her brother. it is said that, being interro-
gated, she admitted to him that she was en-
ciente by Spencer, but that he had promised
to marry her. Moore at once threatened to
shoot the alleged seducer on sight, and on
Tuesday last attempted to carry out the
threat.
Meeting at Little Plymouth, Moore drew
a revolver, and fired without effect. Spencer
retreated to store, and getting behind the
counter, from that breastWork fired shot
| which lodged just below Moore's left ribs,
passing around the body just beneath the
skin. The crowd then rushed in, and de
prived both of the coTbatants of their
weapons, when, although wounded, Moore
commenced an attack upon Spencer with
his fists. His brother then came to his as
sistance, and the bystanders becoming IN
volved in the melee, something that resem
bled a free fight was the result, and Spencer
| was roughly handled. Both parties were
| finally arrested and bailed to appear tol
examination. Moore is cripple, anf
served throughout the war in the FLY
third Virginia regiment.

AFTER THE VAGRANTs.-Thosc persons
who have no visible means of support, or
who come within that other and worse
class of social pests known as professional
thieves, have a hard time in Richmond now
a-days. Every day several white and black
men are before Justice White on one or
both of these charges, and they are, gene
rally disposed of very. summarily by his
Honor. Yesterday female subject pre-
sented herself in the person of Roxanna
Ellison, who is too often found drunk or
disorderly in the streets. She was or
dered to leave town. John Firth, white
fellow stout enough for any kind Of work,
was up for the third time. and the ineXora-
BILE Justice consigned him to the chain
gang. William Conncrs, Il young white
man, charged with being professional
thief. was required to give security for his
good behavior. George Snyder, another
White yagrant, was more fortunate, for on
proving himself to be possessed of IN occu-
patton equally remuneratiyc and uncom-
mon nhat of a " colorer of billiard balls y,
he was discharged with an admonition TO
hunt up some work. Who comes next?

HOW TO LOOK YoUNG-SIxTEEN.-D paint
or use vile Hair Restorers, but simply apply Ha-
gan's Magnolia Balm upon your face, neck, and
hands, and use Lyons Katharion upon your hair.
The Balm makes your complexion pearly, soft,
and natural and you can't tell what didit. tire
moves freckles, tan, salowness, ring-marks,
moth patches etc. and in place Of red, rustic
face, you have the marble purity Of an exquisite
belle. 1t gives to middle age the bloom OF per-
petual youth. Add these effects to splendid head
fhair produced by the Kathari0n, and a lady has
done her best In The way Of adornment. Brothers
will have no spinster sisters when these articles
are around.

BEGGING AND TH1gv1NG.-An Irish woe

Church Hill yesterday pretending to be
begging; went into house on Broad street
and finding the door open stepped into the
passage, and thinking herself unobseryed,
took one Of pair of shoes which were be-
hind the door. A child, however, noticed
the proceedings, and after the woman had
gone made the fact known. She was i'm.
mediately pursued, captured, and brought
back. when the shoe was found secreted IN
her dress next her flesh. She: was released,

HoRsE-THIEvBs SENT ON FOR INDICTMENT.
Walton and johnson, the persons charged
with stealing two horses from Mr.. Absalom
Poiner, of Augusta county, were examined
before Justice White yesterday and sent on
the grand jury of the Hastings Court for
indictment. The fact that the horses were
the property of Mr.. Poiner was very clearly
established by evidence, and the accused
accounted for the animals being in their
possession by contradictory statements.
the horses were given him by his father to
sell, while johnson admitted that they
came from Augusta, and alleged that he
was hired by Walton to assist in bringing
them to Richmond. Mr.. Poiner tracked
the thieves to Louisa county, and while
there learned through the Dispatch that the
horses had been found in Richmond. The
prisoners were remanded to Jail.

THE MAYO HoM1crDE.-The jury Of IN,
onest summoned to view the body OF Isaac
2. Mayo, whose death was reported In y"s "a
issue Of Yesterday, met on Wednesday after
noon, and found that the fatal wounds were
inflicted by d knife in The liahds of Milton
Ladd. The evidence showed the facts to be
in the main as stated yesterday, except that
it seemed to be established that Mayo tirst
gave Ladd the lie. Ladd returned it. Mayo
resented it with blow, and the cutting
then took place. Justice Atlee has issued
warrant for the arrest of Ladd.

The WOES OF BURGLAR.-John Orrell,
the burglar of the period, made his appear
ance before the Police Court yesterday de-
cidedly the worse for his late unequal en-
counter with Fate and two policemen. His
law had been reset by Drs. Brock and Trent,
but he was evidently suffering greatly. The
evidence was too positive to admit OF
compassionate doubt, and he was sent on
to answer for the offence of shooting at the
officers with intent to kill, as for the at
tempted burelaries at Arm stead & Bibb's
and William NJ. Aliens. The chances are
decidedly in favor Of OrrelPs spending the
balance of his days in the penitentiary.

the arrest of several negroes charged with

place near Malvern Hill on the night pre-

no prisoners had been brought to the county

that the officers in whose hands the war
rants were placed had made no arrests.

Immediately beyond the station is crowded
by a thick wood, which had been occupied
by the Prussians during the battle, and, as
the French passed out of Forbach Oh the
road to St. Avoid in tolerably orderly
though hurried retreat, they encountered
such terrible fire from the Prussian mi
traiUeuses, placed on the very verge of the
wood, that they were completely routed,
and fled in every direction unoccupied by
the prussians, flinging away their arms
and cursing their generals as the real
cause of their dishonorable defeat. AT first
every retreat seemed to be cut off. There
were Prussans behind them, Prussians on
their right, and Prussians in front of them,
for a large portion of the enemy descended
from the heights to the high road, and thus
cut off all escape in that direction. The
remnants Of General Frossard's corps sue
ceeded. with some difficulty, in escaping
over the hills, on the eastern side of the
road, to Puttelange, where they still re-
main. The person who brought me this in.
formation, and who escaped over the hill
facing that on which the Prussian mitrail-
leuses were planted, tells me that the slaugh.
ter of the French troops, as they moved
along the high road after leaving Forbach,
is beyond ali description. An attempt was
made to answer the fire from the opposite
hill, but it was found that the French shots
produced no effect whatever on the Prus-
Slams, who s.ood sheltered by the wood.
It is said that the Germans employed In
the Executive Departments, Washington,
have agreed to contribute five dollars
monthly in aid Of those wounded in the
PrusSian cause.
