ANOTHER DEAD BODY FOUND
The deal body of colored infant was
found yesterday afternoon near the gully,
Navy Hill, by policeman and some other
parties, who we are informed, dug hole
in the ground and inferred the remains.
The finding of dead bodies of infants has
become painfully frequent of late, and we
submit that it is high time the subject
should attract official attention and some
thing done to arrest the criminality which
the facts suggest.

A LEX A NDRIA.

The TRIAL of Joseph Shepherd, tor defraud-
ing insurance con psnies by falsely representing
that his brother, insured for 81 900, had been
drowned, is set for october 18th. Since Shep-
herds committal to jail his brother it is said,
has been seen not only alive and well, but so
heavily armed that the officer whom he en-
countered did not dare attempt TO arrest him
place in Alexandria, Thursday. Mrs. Perrin,
residing near the Orange car works, has been
Ill for some weeks, and about two weeks ago a
white woman, about IS years of age, who gave
her name as "Hannah," but refused to give any
other name, arrived from Baltimore, and took
lodging in the room adjoining Mrs. Perrin, and
since that time has often complained of being
sick, but has refused to see a physician and has
waited assiduously upon Mrs Perrin. Yester-
day Mrs. Perrin being very much worse, her
son was dispatched for the doctor, when he
returned, both Mrs. Perrin and Hannah" were
dead.
