FATAL STABBING AFFRAYs AT BUFFALO GAP
Onrxuesday evening the It'll inst an ARRAY took
place at Buffalo Cap in this county, between three
negro men, employees at the Furnace, which re-
suited in the killing of one, and fatally wounding
another. The exact origin of the difficulty We
could not learn but it is stated it grew out OF
charge and counter charge of chicken stealing by
the parties, and resulted in Jackson Norvell, for
merly of Loudon county, INJECTING a fatal stab on
the person of Joe Allen, of Nelson county, with
large pockst knife, the blade entering above the
Left breast and penetrating the heart, causing in
slant death, Frank Gwin was stabbed by the
same party and with the same instrument IN the
RIGHT side. under the ribs. The inteslnes pro-
truded from the wound, which it is thought will
prove fatal.
Great excitement prevailed among the negroes
employed at the Furnace. Norvell says that five
shots were fret at him in his house, wther he
had gone after the ARRAY.
Dr. Hamilton, of this city. sent for to at
Tend the wounded man, and the same letter that
called him to the scene, beng handed to Sheriff
". L. Mowry that officer, with our efficient Ser
peant. Jacob T. Parent, left here about IL o'clock
on Tuesday night and brought in on Wednesday
morning and lodged in Jail the accused, jackson

:: The Wharf.-The growing wheat along the
Valley Turnpike in Augusta and Rockingham is
looking promising. The few mild days we have
had within the last ten days, has had very PEI
ceptible effect in bringing out the blade and where
it supposed the wheat had been damaged by
the very untavorable winter for this crop, it is
springing up green and beautiful. There may te,
here and there, where the ground is of the
..spouty'' kind some Indifferent fields, but gen
eerally we regard the crop as promising as could
be expected. In the vicinity of Waynesboro,
and along the line Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Road to Richmond, it is looking well.
