MURDER BY STANTON COLORED
Maidstone two or three years ago, a
colored man, named Williams, residing in
Staunton, married widow, having a
daughter. At her death he went to West
Virginia, taking his STEP daughter with
him. Out there a young colored man,
named Grafton, courted and married her,
against the persistent opposition of Will
liams, who strongly objected to the match,
and, having raisedithe girl from a little
child, thought he ought to have control in
the matter. The day after the marriage
he went to the house, and after upbraiding
the bridegroom raised his gun to shoot
him. The wife threw herself between
them, and the result was that the groom
was shot dead and the bride badly wound
ed. Williams was lodged in Jail for trial.
The girl, the only witness of the murder,
recovered, and last week, just before the
trial was to commence at Barboursville,
disappeared. The authorities were in
Staunton, last week, active in search of
her, but Tuesday she made her APP
pearance in Huntington again, and the
trial is now progressing.

PERILs OF ADMINISTERING TO THE
SICK,-The City Council sat on Tuesday
night as Court Of Last Resort, to hear
the appeal of Mr.. John J. Christian, col
ored,the proprietor of that popular restau-
rant and political headquarters, the Long
Branch House, who had been fined 500 by
acting Mayor Evans, that morning for dis
pensing two or more drinks on the blessed
Sabbath, in contravention of the city
commandments. to gentleman from
Roekbridge, who was represented by the
President of the Council to be gentleman
of ''large family connections Mr.. Chris
t1an appeared in person, backed by the
able legal assistance of Mr.. VIM. B. Kay
ser. Mr.. G. showed that the condition Of
the gentleman from Rockbridge when he
called on him Sabbath morning was of that
degree of i'll health and physical dryness,
that even the largest family connections
could not alleviate, and that nothing but
a slight modicum of Bumgardner could
mitigate. This modicum, he said, was
administered as DEMONSTRATION" simply,
and was by no means intended as de-
fiance of the laws. Of the Commonwealth.
''Indeed," said Mr.. Christian, 81 am as
sured that no member of your honorable
body would not have been so moved by
your sympathy with the human race, that
you could not resist" This was we'll
directed clincher, and showed Mr.. Chris
tian's knowledge Of men. He was talking
to men, and there are few of that noble
animal who have not, at some time of life,
felt at early dawn that yearning fora slight
draught of 'snourishiation.: by which the
inner man might be comforted, and the
outer enabled to ''hold a steady hand.'
These resolutions crowded on the memo
ries of the members, and there was gen.
eral weakening around the board, which
resulted in an admonition to Mr.. Chris
tian to go and sin no more. He gracefully
expressed his thanks, and after a momen-
tary confusion caused by stepping on Of
ficer Kurtz's dog, which everybody who
comes into the Council room seems to feel
it duty to step on, left the room.
