CoUrLE PROBABLY MURDERED --MempliS, De-
cember 10.-On Saturday night two negroes
entered the grocery store Of j. B. Ginnochio,
an Italian, and asked for some cheese. While
Ginnochio was serving them one Of the ne
Sroes struck him with wagon-standard,
which broke his jaw and fclled him to the
earth. The negroes then rushed into an adj
joining room where his wife was and beat
her until she was inSensiblc. Seeing the lit
tie daughter Of Mr.. Gnnocho asleep on the
bed, the negroes threw a heavy trunk upon
her. Surprising that Ginnochio had been
killed, the negroes then proceeded to rifle
the store. In the mean time the little girl,
who was but slightly injured, escaped and
alarmed the ncighbors, who fastened to the
scene to find the aged couple wetering in
their blood and the assassins gone. The po-
lice are III search of the negroes to-day. No
hope is entertained of the recovery of Mr.
Ginnochio or his wife.

announce with unfeicned renret the
Death OF Mr.. Edward al. Pollard. which
lnoarnfal event transpitef nc the residence
OIL his brother, Mr.. Richard Pollard. on Court
street. In this city, yesterday afternoonat Oh
o'clock. Mr.. Pollard had long been d great
sufferer, and his disease (Brights disease Of
the kidneys) in this case, as In all Others we
believe, baflled the skill of the best metlic,i
men OF the country.
we nave not the data mt command 10 make
more than a brief mention OF Mr.. Pollard's
lite. lie was born, we believe, In Nelson
county, va, and was educated nc the Uni.
9er%ity OF Virginia. Leaving this venerable
,hs'itution about the year 1851, the deceased
located IN San Francisco, CAL, with the view
OF pract'c'ng law. for which profession he
had thoroughly qualified himself. But he
soon became contributor to the press on
the Pacific coast. and finally abandoned law
and entered the field Of Journalism. Return
lug to Virginia about 1857, MFR. Pollard de-
voted himself to literature, for which he had
decided taste ~ we'll rs gifts. During q nor.
ton OF the war he was engaged as an esli.
torial writer on the Richmond Examiner.
After the war his time was occupied for
months in the preparation of a history of the
war, which had large sale.
About two years ago Mr.. Pollard's health
became so feeble as to render him au almost
hopeless invalid. and he became resident
Of Lynchbur@, finding welcome home with
his brother. About this time he made
profession Of religion, and connected HIM
self with the Court-Strcct Methodist Episco-
pal Church South. and it will be pleasure TO
his friends to know that he died in the tri-
umphs of Christian faith.
During his painful illness he received the
unrcmitting attention ofrelatives and friends.
One Of his last requests was, Bury me at
Oak Ridge beside my brother" referring to
the late II. Hives Pollard. In compliance
with this request, his remains will be taken
to Oak Ridge on Wednesday next, to rest
under the old oaks he loved so well.
Mr.. Pollard was in his fortieth year, and
unmarried.
