The people Of this county are much graft
fed ut the nomination of Judge William
Pope Dabney by the legislative caucus for
county judge, which isyFegarded as equiva-
lent to reelection. Judge Dabney was
elected some months ago to complete the UNI

he has given entire satisfaction ,iu the dis

lawyers, Judge BoEp has announced his III
tention to hold court in Richmond about

WILLIAMSBURG, March II, 1873.
The rain on wednesday, night put out the
fire that had been raging around our city
since Saturday. Before being checked it had
spread in every direction all around Us, so
that on every side we could see the smoke by
day and the blaze at night. A largeramonnt Of
damage has been done than was at fist sup
Dosed. A great deal c! cord wood has been
consumed, besides sawed lumber, fences, ana
houses. Not Il small item Of loss is The IN
Jury done to the standing timber. Some
estimate the loss at $4,000. Surprising that
to be a high estimate for the present actual
loss, if the effect hat it must have upon the
farming interests for the year, upon which
other Interests depend, it must fall very far
short Of the real loss sustained. This, too.
after repeated droughts makes it very en-
barrassing.
We had severe storm yesterday. Its
appearance as it made its approach was more
terrific than it proved to be destructive,
though it blew over Il house in the Enclosure
of the ASYLUM, damaged the slate and tin on
some OF the roofs, and uprootcd several trees.
No houses in the city were materially injured,

A mongrel descendant of the Pamnnkey s
has been on visit among US for week or
so past. He wears sometimes high beaver
and then very diuinutive cap and ared cot
ton handkerchief around his neck. He claims
to be a gentleman of the medical persuasion,
and carries the materials for filling his own
prescriptions in greasy-lookiug carpet-bag.
Some of the colored people had him before
Mayor Barlow OH Wednesday, charged with
attempting to poison one of their springs. A
strange looking compound, having the ap-
pearanc OF red pepper, onions. and soll-soap,
was exhibited in the courthouse.
This was found either in the spriNg or
placed particularly near it, and the fact
proved that he put it there. There was sup
posed to be an effort to poison or trick some
one. He owned up to the charge, but de.
claIcd that his design was entirely the oppo.
site that it was intended for the special
benefit of one Of his patients who was in the
habit OF visiting the spring. As nobody
had been hurt, or was likely to be, the Mayor
very wisely gave him charge to make him.

dismissed the case.

At II O'Clock last night the headings met,
and the completion Of the Lewis tunnel by
juno 18th is now ensured. About four hun
dred feet only Of bottom remain TO be exca-
waited, and the temporary track can then be
dispensed with. When the contractors.
Messrs. Mason & Hoge, took hold of this
work in May last there was heading of
900 feet to drive. Half Of this, perhaps,
was down grade. The workmen had to keep
three pumps going to carry the water to the
top OF the shaft, and about 10000 gallons
were pumped out daily. More than once
the water gained SO on the pumps that the
laborers were driven out. The lines Of the
engineers met within few inches of their
calculations, and we now have daylight
through. Great credit is due the contractors
for their perseverance In this great work in
