Yesterday a eolored lupatic named Maria
Butcher, who is under confinement in the
city Jail awaiting removal to Richmond,
made a fierce attack on Deputy Sheriff DON
nan, the jailor, who went into her cell to
feed or otherwise attend her. She bit,
kicked, and knocked him severely, and had
to be thrown down several times beforeshe
escaped her. She will be taken to the asy-
lum ut Richmond tomorrow by Captains
Gray and Donnan.
The case of this crazy woman Is one of
some interest. 1t is said her mind was dis
ordered by the deserticn of her husband.
This man came to Virginia as slave in the
war, being already married in some southern
State, aud "took up" with Maria during
bis stay here. II seems chat they went
through the ceremony of marriage. After
the war the faitaless husband returned to
his old home and his first wife, leaving the
second one to mourn her fate and ultimately
to become deranged with sorrow.
The body Of Mr.. William Fl. Ellington, Of
this city, who died of consumption last night
at Farmville, was received here to-day, and
will be buried at BIandford tomorrow. The
deceased was member Of Company 5E,
Twelfth Virginia regiment, in the war, and
was highly esteemed for many worthy quail
ties. He was member Of the Knights of
Pythias. and Ruth Lodge will attend his
funeral in Il body.
In the Reorganization of the Radical ward
clubs of this city the negroes exhibit a very
decided disposition to push themselves for
ward. In Fourth Ward a bulky negro named
Joe Robinson succeeds Mr.. j. E. Justice
(wtite) as president; and in Third Ward,
last night, j. r. Stokes was made president.
These are the only Radical clubs that have
re6rSanized yet. -
Work was begun to-day on the extensive
buildings which are to he erected by Mr..
Augustus Wright at the corner of Sycamore
and Franklin streets for use rs stores, &c. 1t
was intended at first to put a new hotel there,
| but the scheme was not sufficiently backed
or encouraged.
The schooner Reynolds, from Philadel-
phia, arrived here to-day loaded with egg
cnal for one of our coal merchants. She is
| said to be the only vessel that passed un-
scathed through the terrible storm which
| recently swept over the northern Atlantic
| coast.
Alr. Marks completed to-day the erection
Of the twenty-five new street lamps, of which
mention has been heretofore made.
A "Sic hemper 1yranms" is in pro-
cess OF organization among the Conservative
/ voters Of Old street. This club will take in
| everybody over twenfy.One years of age.
The GrayS have decided not to accept the
] invitation of the Richmond military compa-
MES TO spend Sunday night in Richmond.
| Some of the members had moral scrupes,
and there were other reasons to cause q
change in the original programme. The
company will leave this city on Monday
| morning on its way to West Point.
The telegraph school Of Messrs. Burruss,
Thweatt & Watkins will be opened on Mon
| day.
The day has been beautiful and balmy.
General Malone has not yet signtied bis
| acceptance of the invitation to speak at the
Agricultural Fair.
The premium list of the Fair will be out
early next week. ROBIN ADAIR.
