Shocking TraUGlY.

Farmvillc, ordinarily one Of the quietest town!
10 Virginia, was thrown into great excitement
yesterday by most horrible tragedy which wa:
enacted there, resulting 10 the instant death Of
a most respected citizen and the subsequent de-
mise Of his murderer.
A dispatch from FarmviIlc gives the follow
ing particulars about one o'clock Col. VIM.
Randolph Berkeley, a prominent member OF
the bar, was ruthlessy shot down by the hand
of an assassin. who Immediately after the con
summation of his purpose committed suicide.
Col. Berkeley was seated in his law Office con.
versing on business with MIR. Alfred Moth, a
local banker. when knock was heard, and the
Colonel, saying. BE seated, MIR. Moth got
up to open the door. AS soon as the door was
opened Col. Berkeley was shot in the breast
and staggered, when the assassin fired again
and shot him 10 the right temple. Capt. w.
II. Kennedy, who had done the deed, stepped
into the office, and said to Mr.. Moth, You had
better leave, and then shot himself 10 the
head. Several physicians were speedily on the
spot, but life was extinct 10 COL Berkeley, and
Kennedy was only just breathing. The cause
Of this awful crime is believed to have been the
fact that Col. Berkeley had distrained 90 Ken
Dcdys goods for debt due to client. Capt.
Armiste.d, the county coroner, opened an in-
quest 10 the case of Col. Berkeley 10 the after
noon. The evidence OF Mr.. Moth showed
clearly that the facts we're as stated above. DR..
Nash, a physician who had been attending
Kennedy, testified as to threats against some
person whom he alleged had Injured Elm.
Kennedy was moved to tho Randolph House,
and died last night. having been insensiblc
from the time he did the deed
Col. Berkeley was widely known throughout
the State. having been frequently spoken of
for Governor, and other prominent positions.
Capt. Kennedy was the proprietor OF the Ran.
doph House at Farmvile.
A dispatch from Norfolk says:-"Wm. II.
Kennedy has brother 10 this city, and spent
some time here this fall. During his stay here
he showed conclusive evidence of temporary 10.
sanity, and at one time attempted to take his
,Wu life by means of laudanum, which he Sc.
,reted 10 his room at the Atlantic Hotel. His
brother and other friends knew of bis wander.

He was about thirty-two years of age. and was
considered one of tho most honorable young
men in the State. lie was of an extremely
eDstive disposition. Col. Berkeley was said |
