work and bis play the same as usual until
Sunday evening, when be came in the house
complaining Of high fever.
He was at once put to bed. a glass OF
water was brought him, rs bis lips were
marched. The mere sight of IL threw him
into commissions. DR.. Frayser, the aIfend.

saw that he had genuine case OF hydropho-
bia before him. DR.. Willett was sent for,
and q consultation was had. There Is no
cure known for this most horrible OF diseases
when it has fully developed, as in the case OF
the boy. All that could be done was to ad.
minister powerful soporifcs and sedatiyes,
so as to deaden the paroxysms as mucn as
possible. The poor little fellow fingered 10
untold agony until Monday evening, when
the kind angel Of death came TO bis relief.

DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.

JANUARY 1, 1875.
Jim Edwards (coloreD was before Justice
j. W. Hubbard on yesterday. 1t seems that
Jim and Aipheus Cowles, also colored, want
ed money to attend neighborng subscrip-
tion.party, and conceived the idea of getting
it without work. Accordingly, having seen
Mr.. James Yates on Tuesday night receive
some change from Mr.. F. C. Davis, store
keeper, and knowing MIR. Yates's route
home, they waylaid him, and after knocking
him down three times he promised them
that if they would spare his life and 60 with
him to Dick Browns, the scene of the party,
that be would divide his money with them.
To this they agreed. but after getting to
Dick Browns and recognizing some
colored friends Mr.. Yates declined to COM
ply. Mr.. Yates thinks that his Would.be
robbers would have forced him to divide bis
$3.50 among them, even after he had identi-
lied them by the light, but for the interposi-
ton of Mike Tinsley and some other coored
friends. Mike took Mr.. Yates home with
him. The hungry party.goers followed and
threatened to break open the door, and it is
thought they would have done so bad not
Mike Informed them of the presence Of
loaded double barrel gun, whose contents
would be given them on their entrance.
Jim Edwards was bailed. Jim wishes to
turn States evidence. Alpheus Cowles has,
up to this date, eluded the search Of the
constable.

CoLoRED WoMEN Can't SWEAR" Chill
DREN.-In the County Court, Friday, in the
case of the CommenWealthus Stape SaEuels
(colore0, being q proceeding by colored
woman seeking to charge Samueis as the
father of her bastard child, By virtue Of chap
ter 121 of the Code, allowing any unmarried
white woman to 60 before Justice of the
peace and accuse any person of being the
father of bastard child Of which she has
been delivered, etc, Judge Hendren held
that the proceeding could not be instituted
BY colored woman, as the law did not con-
fer or affect any right, or abridge any priv.
lege, or subject any person to any penalty or
punishment, but was merely intended as a
police regulation to relieve the county from
the support of bastard white children by de-
volving their support upon the p1tatiVe
father, and as the Legislature had not ex-
tended its jurisdiction to embrace colored
persons, it was not competent for court to
do so.-Stdunton Vindicator. .,-sa.s

DANyILLE, Va, January l, 1875.
Some of the members of the Executive
Committee of the Bible Society Informed
me yesterday that my report of their action
at their meeting recently held may be mis-
understood. It is not the appointment OF
an agent for this part of the field which they
wish to avoid, bat the ending Of the agent.
They themselves are willing, anxious, to do
the collecting which the agent has heretofore
been sent to do, and they may themselves,
they say, fiud it expedient to appoint an
agent Of their own for the distribution of
Bibles and Testaments, as they did for por.
ton of the last year. .

/ Christmas week here, was remarkable for
bothing Bot very mild weather and streets
filled with idle negrees.--D During the present
week two horsethievesP have beenscaptured
and lodged In Jail here.4 Thes first one was
negro named William .Mitchelk, who stole "a
horse from Mr.. S. j. Bondurant, living iiesr
rFishersville, on the 18th of December. He
Erode the horse about nine OF ten miles and
sold him TO- q young man, named Robert
Fox Cor q; pistol. and es15., Mr., rBondu-
rant afterwards offered q reward OF S25
for the recovery or the horse, aud this
coming to the ears OF the negro, he
went to Mr.. Bonduraut and told him where
the horse could be found, but did not ex-
plain how he came TO know, and claimed the
reward, ) but Mr.. Bondurant refused to give
it to him until he had secured the horse.
When be recovered the, horse he learned
from Fox that the negro had sold it to him.
Upon his return home he attempted to ar,
rest him, but the negro succeeded in making
his escape. The. first Of this week MIR. Boz
durRnt learned that the negro was IN Staun-
ton, and accompanied by Constable Grimes
be came here and found him at q blacksmith
shop, where they arrested and bandcuffed.
him. On the way to the jail,as they were
turning corner, he again got away from
them, and although he had handcufs on
would In all probability have again made his
escape IL. Mr. Bondurant had not been on
horseback and armed with pistol. He is
now safely. in Jail, where he will await bis
trial next March. ,-a;<f1. ~. .-a., ~. 80
Yesterday evening Officers Parent and
Harlan returned from Mt. Jackson, Shenan!
doah county. where they had been to get a
young man named Elijah Helmick, who, on
last Tuesday night, stole a fine horse from
Mr.. William F. Ash, living near the city.
AS soon as the horse was missed kilograms
were sent over the country, and when the
thief offered to sell him to Mr.. j. z. Wen
dell, of New Market, Mr.. Wendell pulled
out the telegram describing the horse, and
had the thief arrested. He-says he is from
Pendleton county, W. Va, and has been
travelling until lately with Robinson's circus.
He came here from Charlottesville, and CO.
ing into the stable to sleep he saw the horse
and stole him.
It is reported here that at the meeting Of
the stockholders to be held January 12tbe two
national banks-the First National and the
National Valley-wil be consolidated. This
movement is probably caused by the pro.
jected plan of establishing Changers bank

ANOTHER Fraud Washington, January
1.-The House Judiciary Committee has
bill before il, introduced by Mr.. White, of
Alabama, which should be entitled, "a bill
to legaliZe repeating and to perpetuate fraud
and corruption in the southern States" Mr..
White calls it "a bill to regulate elections
in certain States and 'fOr other purposes"
The crowning rascality OF the bill is found
in these words:
"Aud any such citizens may vote at any
precinct or place Of voting fixed by law in
the county or parish in which he may reside
at the time of the election, any law of any
State to the contrary Notwithstanding"
The intention is to head off anticipated
legislation in Alabama and other States with
Il view TO putting stop to repeating, which
has been carried on by the wholesale by
colored voters heretofore. In Alabama in
particular this abuse has been carried to the
extreme, as will be shown when Mr.. Brom-
berg, of the Mobile district, makes bis con-
test for a seat in the next House. In that
district alone some three thousand illegal
votes were cast in the last election. Repeat.
ing is the last stronghold of the carpet-bag-
ger and the scalaWag in the South, and when
that is put stop to their race is run. Hence
this bill of Mr.. Whites, himself a scalawag !;
and of course it will receive the support of
all sucb.- Washington telegama-Baltimore
Gazette
ANOTHER CARPEr-BAG BILL.-The Judi
ciary Committee has bill before it, intro
duced by Mr.. Whitley, a Georgia carpet-bag-
ger, which is less skilfully drawn than MIR.
Whites, but aims at the same end. Its first
section opens the door to unlimited repeat.
ing, and the remaining sections are designed
to place the entire control Of elections 10 the
South in the hands Of United States officers,
the appointees of Attorney-Genera Williams,
with what object may be plainly seen.
Whether these bills are embraced in the pro-
gramme of Grant, Williams, Morton d co.
for again placing letters -on the southern
States has not yet appeared. 1t Is probable
that they are. The Republicans see. that
with united South against them they have
not a ghost of O chance in the next presi-
dental election, and they do not mean there
shall be united South if Federal bayonets
have any potency, or slander-mil outrages
the power to fire the northern heart.-Wdsh-
inqton observation-disclosures Gazette.
