Tree Released on HIS O,cn Recog,isance.
James H. Tyree, who, it will be remem-
bered, was arrested some time ago, charged
with representing himself as being U. S.
revenue officer, and on account of being
unable to give bail, has since been confined
in the city jail, was, this morning, brought
before U. s. Commissioner Peasants, and
recognized to appear on the first Monday in
October next, to answer, in the sum of
$500. This action in his case was done on

opinion any longer confinement in Jail
would endanger his life.

Democratic Ingratitale.-While promi-
-nent Democrats are busily engaged in pro-
yiding "honest employment" for Ben.
Scott, recent convert to their church,
number of their well tried and often
severely tested friends are suffering for
the necessaries of life, and few of them
now languishing in Democratic jails.
Among the latter, we know of none more
deserving of substantial relief for his past
efforts, than James H. Shaw, who is now
serving term in the city Jail for violation
of law. Jim was a hard worker. for
Democracy, and will be apt to remember
the ingratitude of those whom he served
so long and faithfully, when his term ex-
pires.

attempted Suicide in Neao York Of a
We'll Kno,cn Girl of Richmond.-Some
time ago, the several papers of the city
published accounts of the attempted suicide
Of young girl, then residing in this city,
whose name at the request of friends was
withheld.
In our account we gave of the affair, we
stated she had determined to destroy her
life and unless care was taken she would
soon succeed in her efforts. Since the last
attempt made here, she moved to New
York, where she is now residing. Several
days ago, we heard she had shot herself,
which proving unsuccessful, she finished
her existence with knife.
This morning, we made inquiry as to the
truth of the report and learned, that she
attempted to kill herself short time ago in
New York, by shooting herself through the
heart. The timely Intervention of a friend
prevented the successful execution OF her
intentions.
The weapon was turned from its aim in
time to direct the leaden ball from fatal
spot, to that of her side, which it grazed,
inficting painful but not serious wound.
The name assumed by this unhappy
woman, is 'Minnie French" We were
unable to learn her real one. She is ma
tive of North Carolina, and about twenty
two years old-has led the life of a prosti-
tute in this city for several years. She is a
woman of splendid ability and attainments,
and ranked as the most beautiful woman in
Richmond leading her life.
There must be some keen, poignant grief
inducing the conduct of this woman. At
present she is beyond want, having ample
means of living. No other motive can be
ascribed to her conduct, than the suferings
entailed upon mind like hers by thecours
of life she is now leading. sso

Lunatic.-Maggie Lynch, an inmate of
the city Jail, has, we understand, become
insane. Maggie is well known character
in this city, she having been, almost daily,
before the police court since we became ac-
quainted with that popular temple of JUS
tice. Maggie is rather good looking wo-
man, of Irish descent, and may be remem-
bered by many as the exceedingly polite fe-
male beggar who bows and courtesies to
every passer along the street. She was
to Jail some weeks since, for being
drunk and disorderly. Another Of whis-

An Unprouoked Assduh. Last night four
young white men entered the house of a
colored woman living near the New market,
and, after inquiring Of little daughter OF
the woman If she knew anything Of fight
taking place near there, slapped her down.
The mother did not know either of the
young men, and cannot imagine why they
treated her child in the manner they did.
While unwilling to believe it possible for
them to have acted as described without
so'ne. proyocation, their conduct was such
a violation of law as makes them liable to
prosecution. We still have laws, and Off
GERS to execute them, which fact it is well
enough for such disturbers of public peace
to understand.

According to the papers the earthquake was
pretty severe in some parts of New Hamp-

4notAer Suicide The Body Found
Yesterday morning, while some boys were
bathing IN the river near the Danville rail-
road bridge, they discovered the body of a
man floating in the water. They immedi-
ately gave the alarm, when Mr.. Daniel
Murphy and two other gentlemen started
in q boat to the place where the BOYS re-
ported they had seen the body. They sue
ceeded in finding it near one of the fish
traps IN close proximity to the bridge, and
upon taking it from the water, Mr.. Murphy
at once recognized it as that of Thomas
Coppenger, who jumped into Haxall, Cren-
shaw u Co.'s mill-race on Sunday morning.
The body was taken ashore, when, upon
examination, it was found to be considera-
bly, bruised from falling distance of about
twenty feet after passing through the waste
gates of the mill-racc into the river. II
was also much swollen, and the clothing
had been nearly all torn off, nothing re-
naming save the pants. ia'- .s.o s.. t'isa =.
