THE MINERAL BUREAU--The Lyncbburg
News, in commenting upon MIR. Britton's plan
for Mineral Bureau at this place. says =
We hope Mr.. Britton's plan will be carried
out at once. 1t is the best suggestion of the
kind that we have seen, and We believe that if
acted upon, it will be Of immense advantage to
the State, and will advertise Virginia mineral
wealth more widely and effecrually than could
be done 10 almost any other way. Virginia
ought to send samples Of her iron and other
ores to the Centennial. But if anything is to
be doue, it must be dooe at once. Procrast-
nation is our besetting sin. We must be more
prompt and energetic, and it is to be hoped
that we will show these qualities 10 the under
taking suggested to US by Mr.. Brtton. "

LOCAL NEWS.

SUPPOSED MURDER.-The mother and step
father OF Alfred Hyatt, the colored boy, Of
rhom the Jury of Inquest found that he came
~ his death by being run over by the night
rain of the Alexandra and Fredericksburg
Railroad, on Saturday last, are dissatisfied with
the verdict, and assert their belief that the de-
ceased came to his death by violence, suffered
of the hands of some unkuowo person or per-
sons, and that he was Knocked down and rob-
he'd, and then placed on the railroad track.
They assert that when they discovered the re-
nsos, which was only ten minutes after the
train passed. the pockets of the deceased were
turned wrong side out and there were two cuts
Oh his head, apparently made with a sharp in
srument. one on the forehead and the other
90 the left side of the head, near the ear. The
deceased also had o bundle, which contained
shirt and other articles, which was missing at
the time the remains we're found. His leather
mttans worn 10 caring bricks were found at the
precise spot from which his body was dragged by
the train 1t is further asoertained that an un
known colored man made Inquiries near Ar
lngton Park concerning the way to Washing
ton about half 40 hour before the body was
found, and upon being directed, deliberately
turned 10 the opposite direction towards the
tuupel, the place where the supposed accident
occurred, and made there the same Inquiry of
the watchman Of the canhl, who observed him
lettering at that spot. These are suspicious
circumstances which we're not within the know
ledge of the coroner or the jury of Inquest. Ga
the other hand it is well koown fact that the
traiu always comes to full stop at that ideuti
cal place, and it appears mysterious that if the
boy should have been Knocked sepseless and
placed 90 the track the engineer did not OBJ.
serve it. and the engineer asserted that bis
engine did not pass over the body.
