BUCKINGHAM COUNTY, March 81, 1874.
We bud heavy frost last Wednesday
night. which killed most Of the peach crop.
Last night we had another, which 1t Is fear
ed has pretty we'll wound up our prospects
for that kind of fruit. The apple crop has
not been materially injured as.yet. -
Oat-seedlng is nearly over with Us.
The wheat crop is still looking fine, which
is the only crop growing, except 1t be toDac-
co-plants, and they are not sufficiently deVei-
oped to enable us to judge OF the prospect.
Circuit Court was in session last week.
Not much business was done except IN
chancery cases. One criminal case was tried,
which resulted in conviction, and the sen
tence Of one days imprisonment ana nue.
OF twenty dollars inflicted.
We have but little news afloat among US.
Our people are too busily engaged, each LOT
himself, to get up anything exciting. we
have some mountains in our county which
to those who have not seen others are big
things; but they are maintaining their dlg.
nifty in silence as heretofore. If they should
follow suit with those in Buncombe, or that
neIghborhood, we would then have more to
write about. Those must be strange sort
of mountains out in the North State. Last
winter one was reported as having suck

every kind during six months of the year
of course killing them; and spending the
next six months 10 leisurely blowing them
out, producing G stencil for distance around

Horrible Tragedy I'm Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IA dispatch from
Austin, Nevada, tonight gives the partlcu-
lars of horrible tragedy in Smoky Valley,
in that State. 1t appears that Christopher
Reckstern had been for 4 long time jealous
of bis wife in consequence of attentions paid
to her BY young man named Norton, and
they had frequent quarrels about him. Yes
terday man named Osterhaus went to Reck-
s1ern's house, and, receiving no response to
bis demands for admission, broke open
the door. On the floor lay the naked body
of Mrs. Reckstern, cut into pieces and the
head split open. At her feet were the bodies
OF two little girls with their heads nearly cut
of, and near by were the dead bodies OF
Reckstern and young Norton grappled as If
in death struggle. Reckstern grasped In
his right hand large bowie-knife covered
with flood, and in Norton's right hand was
a dragoon pistol, two chambers of which
were discharged. There is no living witness
to the terrible affair.

LOUISA COUNTY, Va, April l, 1874.
The entertainment ut the Christian church
took place last night. The recitation was in
two parts, as follows: "Good Seed,' by the
small boys and girls; "Fruits of the Spirit"
by the older ones. The latter was very fine,
and it seemed TO please the audience very
much. They sung some very beautiful songs
tendance.
The farmers are very busy preparing their
land for corn. @ lite large quantity OF
ground has been broken up, and corn will
be planted very early no doubt.
1t Is thought that the two recent heavy
frosts and the freeze last night have destroyed
all the fruit that was in bloom.
We had little hail this morning. It is
now very cold and disagreeable, and looks
like it will rain. VINCENT.
