The senate Of Virginia has agreed to a resolu.
ten inquiring into the expediency of amending
the code so as to allow any person who has been
tried and fully acquitted of criminal charge
by any court in the state, a reasonable allow
ance In money for the expense incurred by hi n
or her in their defence; the amount of such al
lowance TO be determined by the Judge of the
court OF the county or corporation in which
such case was tried. In some cases such a Law
might work well, but in instances where the
prosecution fails for lack of proof, considerable
discretion should be allowed the judge who de-
teImines the amount of compensation.

Naples the other day. Several years ago Mr.

on the Chisia. They had four children, the
eldest twin daughters. In the course OF event.
the father died. and the mother married q Mr..
Douglass. The boarding-house was still con
tnued, and to young girls naturally received
good deal of attention from the inmates of the
house. Among others, an East India captain.
named Gordon, fell in love with one of the cid
est daughters, who did not, however, return
his affection, perhaps because Of the disparity

but eighteen or nineteen years of age. At the

another boarding house, but eeems to have

obtain an interview with her, and watching for
her in the streets. On Tuesday last, as che Wa
walking with her twin sister, Captain Gordon
came up and insisted upon her granting him
An interview. On her refusal he withdrew a
few steps and shot the poor girl twice. She fell

two sleighs crossing the river in company
broke through .sand in a moment the occupants,
seven in number. and the three horses, were
houndering together in the common struggle
for life. The screams Of the women were
heard in Newburg the distance off half a
mile from the scene OF the accident. Several
men were on the dock in the neighborhood,
but through fear would not go to the rescue,
At length some Of the members of Ringgoli
Hose Company, who were in their house,
several blocks distant from the river, heard tn Q
screaming and fastened with ropes to the spot
ana rescued all the imperilled men and
women, ard also the horses. The clothing of
the immersed passengers was frozen stiff, and
their suffering was great. They could not
have held on to the ice much longer had thu
brave fIemen failed to reach them.
