TRAIN DELAyED.-The Southern train
over the Richmond and Petersburg rail-
road, due here at one O'Clock, p. M, has
been delayed and will not arrive until some
time tonight. The cause of the delay is
owing to the overflow of the track by wa
ter near Temples turnout, about seven
miles from the city. Several washes have
also occurred between Richmond and Tenn
Pies. The extent of the damage we were
unable to learn. Hacks have been sent
over the Richmond and Petersburg turn
pike by President Wynne, to bring the
passengers TO this city. Major Myers made
up train and sent on the passengers here
bound north.

Shocking Murder In Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-A shocking murder,
the particulars of which have not yet come
to light, was perpetrated last night in the
northwestern outskirts of the city. EARLY
this morning the body of an old man, EVIL
IDENTIFY farmer. was found lying in what
is known as the Whisky Point road, with
his skull fractured, pockets rifled and
turned inside out. The belief is that he
was farmer, on his way home from mar
ket, and that the murderer not only Sc
cured all the valuables on his person, but
likewise his whole team and wagon.

The RAIN.-7As far as we have been
able to learn the streams and rivers for a
number of miles contiguous to Richmond
have been very much swollen by the rains
of the last few days, Shockoe creek has
spread itself considerably, and threatens
to invade Marshall street, near 18th. James
river has risen a little, and while the rain
has perhaps been general, covering many
of the streams that empty into the James,
we think nothing of serious nature NAV
be apprehended thereby. We trust the
sun has made its appearance for season
Of some length.
