I'm MeniOriaIn.

The Gazette of to-day is filled with just and
chaste and beautiful tributes of respect ard ST.
lection to the memory of LAWRENCE BERRY
TAYLOR; and they have been read again and
again with the tenderest and most sincere and
sacred sensibility by an old and early friend and
neighbor, who knew him long and well. All
that has been said of him. so lovingly, by the
varied and numerous associations of his life, in
business and IN society, is most appropr late and
true; and yet the salient point of his character
was, as happily expressed by Judge Keith the
unvarying exhibition of ''dignity, geniality and
courtesy" And these graces were native and
intrinsic to the an,-not the sulerinduct;on OF
mere education; though, indeed, he was Il
scholarly and polished gentleman; at all times,
and through al the intercourse of his life, frank
manly and magnanimous. His sudden ana pre-
mature death does ind ed, admonish us that we
are hurrying, in swift career, to the silent
tomb that
"Our lives are rivers gliding free,
To that unfathom d, boundless sea,
The silent grave;
Thither all the livng-dylng host
Hasten to be swallowed up and lost,
In that dark wave"
and yet he WAS, above all, Chrlstlan and this
gives blest assurance that
Death is but the rugged road
Which leads us to the bright abode
Of peace above.
$50 let us choose that narrow way,
Which leads no travellers foo! astrsy
From realms of love-
Our birth is but the starting place,
Our life the running o. the race;
We reach the goa,
When, in the mansions of the ble:t,
Death leads to It's eternal rest
The weary soul"

THE LATE W. BRENT RIELY.-Our whole
community was shocked last Friday morning to
hear CT the sudden death Of this gentleman.
He had retired the night before apparently 10
his usual health, but his summons came before
the rising Of another sun. Mr.. kiely for some
years had been afflicted with disease of the
heart and his close attention to the business of
deputy clerk of the circuit court of this county,
no doubt, helped to aggravate this insidious
disease. Although comparatively young man.
MIR. Il. was known as man of sterling integ-
rity Of character and great capacity for bust
ness. Since the war he has been connected
with the clerks Offices 10 this county, and by
his accommodating manners, his even and cheer
full temper, had eudcarcd himself not only to a
wide circle Of friends, but to all who were
brought into business or social relations with
him. Courteous and kind to all, genial and
liberal to fault, he has left void among his
associates hard to ill. In every relation of his
life he was the same true man-as soldier, as
a brother, as a friend, he never swcrved from
that line of conduct which marks the perfect
gentleman - Winchester Ne,rs

Night Trains.

1t will be seen by referring to the schedule
of the w. c., V. NJ. 4 q. S. r. r., that the
night train has been taken off, and that on and
after the 18th inst, only Que daily passenger
train will run between Washington and Lynch
burg. Nothing is said about running passen-
ger coach to freight trains for the accommoda-
ton of the community and way passengers.
This arrangement will be very inconvenient to
the people 10 this county and elsewhere. To
have day in Alexandria, persons going from
the courthouse will require to remain TWO
nights ia town. Cannot some enterrriSlng
person start team twice in the week to and
from Alexandria or Vienna, on the W. 4 0. r.
r. 1t would doubtless pay.-FaiJar Ne,cs.
Those living along the line Of the w. e., '.
NJ. & G. s. r. r., are considerably put out in
consequence of the dscontinuence of the night
trains which have heretofore afforded so much
accommodation to the travelling public, and es
peciay to the local travel. Persons now hay
ing business in the cities will be compelled to
remain away from home two nights, unless their
business can be attended to at night, which is
not often the case We suppose the company
has taken this step In consequence of the fall
ing off Of through travel. but we hope it will
not be long before their business will justify
them in increasing their accommodations Since
the above was in type We learn from what We
believe to be reliable source that a night train
to run as far as Gordonsville. will be put on in
few DAYS. -HunnSSds Gazette.

TIE SHOOTING CASE IN WAsHINGToN-
TFrrom the Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun. About ten O clock on Satur-
day morning, colored boy, of eighteen, named
Samuel Agge, shot Mrs. Fanny Kelly, the wife
of Frederick Kelly, a clerk in a store on Louisi-
ana Avenue. The affair created the greatest
excitement, and had he not escaped, he would
very probably have been hanged to the nearest
lamp post 1t appears that Agge had sawed
some wood for Mrs Kelly, and had come for
his pay, twenty cents She refused to pay it to
him, stating that his mother, who resides in
the alley IN the rear, had asked that the money
be given her. This enraged him and he went
to his house. % Saturday morning he made
some money at the market, with which he pur-
chased an old single barreled cartridge pistol.
Armed with this, he again demanded his money.
but was again refused. He then fired at Mrs.
Kelly, the ball entering the outer angle Of the
right eye, fracturing the skull, and it was sup
posed at the time, entering the brain. Leaving
the scene, he threw the pistol into his mother S
house, with the remark, Now I've done it, and
will 20 to hell"
The doctors have made several attempts to
extract the ball, which lodged behind the ear,
but so far have been unsuccessful. Mrs. Kelly
has been conscious all day, though she is hardly
able to speak, having lost at least a half gallon
of blood. Her statement has been taken, which
corroborates the above The coored boy is still
at large, though it is almost certain that he will
be arrested to- morrow, as the detectives are on
the track of him. Martha Agge, the mother
Of the boy, says that she had twenty one chill
dren, and that the three oldest boys are very
bad aud cruel, one of them having killed a
woman in Virginia This boy has, on several
OCCASIONS made threats that be would kill his
mother and brothers She says they belong to
a race of woman killers.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY ITEMS =. From
the Manassas Gazette. Mr. Matthew Wood
yard, of Brentsville, few weeks ago lost a
grown sou, then valuable horse, then a sou
nearly severed foot while chopping wood, and
now we learn that Mr.. woodward himself,
while putting on o load of wood last week, had
one of bis legs broken by falling with stick of
wood which he was carrying to the wagon. Mr.
W. is an Industrious and hard working man,
and has large family to support,
Mr. John Alexander, who purchased farm
in this county few months ago, arrived here
with his wife on the first of this month from
Leeleuaw county, Michigan. The contrast of
the climate there and here may well be imag-
ined when he informed Us that be left snow II
inches deep.
Mr.. George Trimmer has sold the farm on
which he lives. near this place, consisting Of
24l acres, attached to which is tolerable good
saw and grist mill, to L. u. Prescott, Of New
Hampshire, for $3.50.
AS the north-bound train was moving off a
few evenings ago saucy and unmannerly Miss
deliberately squirted a mouthful of water 10 a
man s face, who stood on the platform, and to
add insult to injury, laughed at the fun.
Snow fell mere to the depth of five inches
Monday last, and commenced again on Tuesday
ABOUT tcn CLOCK anu continued at Intervals
during the day.
A large number of fruit trees have been re-
ceived at this place from several different nur-
series, but the weather has not been very pro-
pitous for planting them.
judging from the plumber offered for sale 10
this village, wild turkeys must be plentiful this
season. The price ranges from Is cents up to
$3.50 apiece.
The snow storm on Monday last put a stop
to telegraph operations in this section by the
breaking down Of nearly all the wires.
Mr. John Warns, of the Manassas Hotel,
was eighty years of age on the 10Th inst. He
is hale aud hearty.
