the night of Thursday, the Bird inst, piece of
counting among the colored people or Christian 8
Creek about miles from the city, came to a
tragic end. The facts of the case show that
VIM. Thompson, colored farmland, had been
counting Jane Strother, the sister of James
Gowan' $ wife, and had been rejected On Thurs
day midnight be went to the house of Gowans
where the girl lived, and was met at the door BY
Gowans' wife who asked him to stay all night.
He went in announcing that he was there stto
kill somebody or be killed." and commenced an
indiscriminate assault upon Jane Strother, COL
ored man named Osborn Gowans, who interfered
to protect her, and James Gowans' wife. The
cries of the women walked Gowans who sprung
out of bed and, as Thompson advanced upon him
to include him in the general thrashiug, seized
gun and shot him dead. The whole load of
small shot was lodged in Thompson's heart,
causing his instant death. The homicide made
no attempt to escape, and when morning came
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff G. A. Roller and
carried him before Justice Leigh R. Waddell
who after hearing the testimony discharged the
prisoner, it being clearly shown that he acted in
self-defence. Preston A. Baylor, Esq. was coun-
sci for the defence. After being discharged, the
prisoner, a mulatto man of small stature, dressed
in an old U. S. army officer coat, struggled
down the street with the fatal gun in hand and
getting to the corner of New and New Court
house Streets, propped the weapon up against
the gas-post and lighting stump of pipe,
backed himself against the wal, and proceeded

THE MEMORIAL FAIR.-There is card pub
lished with the signature of "The Lady Mana
gers,'' about the Memorial Fair, to commence
Oct seth, with the request that this Journal
shall copy it. If we do not do so, and we shall
not, it is because we should like to say some
thing for these ladies that they are not likely to
to say for themselves. 1t is very hard for men
to understand the tenderness and depth of the
love with which these women regard the memo
ries of those sixteen hundred men, who lie amid
the weeds of overgrown graves in Thornrose
Cemetery, and who died for them We can't
understand how they can give up their time and
their energies and their comfort that there may
be given some token that we remember these
men. Men can't reach up to such feelings as
these. They are the rare dollhouse flowers of
the heart, which only bloom with women who
are protected from the chilling influence of this
very worldly world. Men have to rough it;
they soon forget any calamity. Women are not
SO, and they supplement their grief at death by
touchingly tender recollection of the dead -
The lady managers of the Fair are Mrs. Hender-
son 81 Bell, President, md Mrs. Jed Hotchkss
and Mrs. J. G. Marquis, Vice Presidents, which
is a guarantee that the funds raised will be iu-
diciously used Let no man withhold his liber-
al aid. Money is the first want, and then their
card says
Clancy articles will be thankfully received,
but especially do we ask contributions of pro-
visions for the Dinners and Suppers which we
intend having during the Fair. Hams, poultry,
butter, eggs, fruits, and in short, edibles of all
sorts will be most acceptable, and may be. left
for us on Court-day October 2sth, at the stores
of John B. Hoge and charles G Wheat, or at
any time before the Fair, as may be most con-
venient to the donors"

was Zone of the best scholars and most exemplary

He elected Assist Professor of one of the Insti-

by consumption, and it soon became apparent
that the disease would prove fatal On Wednes-
day morning it was determined to take him from
the Rockbridge Alum Springs, where he had
been stopping, to his home in Tarboro, n c.
Upon reaching Richmond the train missed con-
nection, and the car in which Mr. Bridges was,
was carried over to the Southern depot and left
on the track ready for the next train. About
o'clock in the morning he suddenly became
worse, and in a few moments was corpse. The
body was taken to Tarboro'

was arrested and recognized to appear before the
