A col ID man named Anthony Byrd was
run over by the ears and killed at Peters
burg yesterday morning. The name Of the
unfortunate man is also given as Jack
Porter.
The Fredericksburg Ledger says one
half of the preferred stock of the water
power company of that city, including the
wooden factory with its appurtenances and
number of valuable mill sites, will be
sold at auction on the 18th of August.
The Gloucester Herald has the follow
ing thrilling incident: On last Monday
morning, as the young ladies at Mr.. Rob.
ert Seldon's were out bathing, one of the
little girls saw something approaching which
alarmed her, and calling the attention OF
the others they discovered that it was a
shark making toward them rapidly. The
distance to the shore was so great that escape
seemed impossible, and terror almost par
alyzed them. But thoughtful of each other,
even in this trying hour, they bravely stood
together, the strong helping AMI urging on
the weak. Miss Mary Brewer was literal
ly dragged ashore in fainting condition by
the efforts of Miss G. Selden, while Miss M.
B. Selden and Miss N. Brewer drove the
trembling little ones before them. Just as
they all sprang safely on the bank the hor.
rible monster fioundered in the shoal water
short distance behind them, showing his
full length--ten feet. A fisherman out ii
his canoe witnessed the scene, but could
give no help, as the shark was between him
and the shore. He says he supposed es.
cape impossible. - 5.r..l.
"A correspondent in Culpeper informs
us that the colored Greeley emissary, one
Charles Stewart, who has been roaming
about the State for some time endeavoring
to speak to the colored people, but with
very poor success, was formerly sub
street contractor in Washington, and thai
he swindled the colored men EN- ployed by
him out of their hard-earned wages, anC
that but for the interposition of the authori
tiles he would have been mobbed by tn,
outraged workmen. Our correspondent
also pays his respects to civilian G. Nor.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Pic MICS. - 1t was
recently agreed at a conference of Protest
ant Sunday school officers and teachers of
this city that Sunday school pic-nics ought
to be discountenanced, as they have ceased
to do good, and are really productive of
much evil. In consequence, there have
been less than half dozen Sunday school
pic-nics this summer. This number is
likely to decrease from year to year.

THE FIRE CAPTAINS.-1t seems to us
that the City Council has got inself into a
snarl very unnecessarily over the late cleo
ton Of fire captains. The claim that this
astute body q" did not know what it was
doing" when it went into the formal cleo
ton of men to these important positions,
strikes us as being extremely ludicrous.
Our conscript fathers seem not to have
outgrown the proclivities of their boy
hood, but are as irresolute and fanciful over
the stern affairs of maturity as when in
their juvenility they practiced the Indian
"give and take" fashion with their COM
panions, and did or did not "play for
keeps" as the within of the moment might
dictate. We beg them to be more digni-
fled. Let their action be deliberate and
well matured upon the questions with which
and they can be as boyish as they please in
their private transactions. We know
nothing of the respective merits of Captain
King, who was ousted. or Captain Brophy,
who was put in. So far as we know, both
are good and capable men. But an election
is, or ought to be, an election, until a
successor is duly elected and quail
fed in pursuance of expiration Of
term OF removal for cause, and
should not be set aside upon any pretext
whatever. The excuse set up IN this case
will not hold good in law or reason. If
President Wynne should, in November
next, cast ballot for General Grant, un-
der the impression that he was giving his
suffrage to Mr.. Greeley, and General Grant
should be elected, we hold that the election
would be valid, and wholly beyond repeal.
IF there is any one point upon which the
suffragst should be posted, it is for whom
he votes,
