VIRGINIA..

RICHMOND, Nov. 26.--The Ma
tional Grange, Patrons of Husband~
ry, which has been in session here
nearly a week, adjourned until
Thursday, in order to give the dele>
gates an opportunity to accept an
invitation from Churchland Grange,
of Norfolk, to visit them. Nearly
every member left on the steamer
Wyanoke this evening, en- route for
Norfolk.
In to-day's session, Mr.. Darden,
of Mississippi, in advocating resolu>
tions setting forth more definitely
and distinctly the purposes and
principles of the order, said the
people of his State felt no i'll will
towards the people of the North.
Had any ever existed it had been
dispelled by the kind sympathies of
that section towards the South du-
ring her recently plague-stricken
condition. He wanted the Northern
people to remember, during the
comiug political struggle, that what
politicians might say towards ar
raging one section against the other,
was not a true reflection of the
of the farmers of the
South.
Much business has been done by
the National Grange looking to the
general good of the order.

IRON SHUTTERS.

A committee from the Board of Under
writer's visited the Mayor yesterday to
request him to aid them on the passage OF
an ordinance requiring occupants OF stores
having iron shutters to leave, on each floor, at
least one Of these windows open at night In
order that, should fire break out In the build
ing, the fremen may have access to the in
terror.
The Mayor thought that the proposition
involved q legal question, and suggested
that 1t should be refer ed to the City Attor-
ney, who might be ena led to give his opinion
In the matter before ~ ouncil meeting to-
day. The committee retired after some con-
versation relative to the substitution of some
other plan that will disclose the existence Of
fire in such stores and facilitate the opera
lions of the fire engines in an emergency.

A Woman Cut In the Face-The Man Ar
rested.
Yesterday evening at No. 121 Barracks
street a coored woman, Matilda Joseph,
was severely cut on the right side of the face
from the forehead to the chin by a negro
named Joe Williams, who fled, but was ar
rested at the corner of Esplanade and Dau-
phine streets and locked up in the Third
Precinct Station, charged with cutting with
intent to commit murder.
The wounded woman was taken to Llado's
drug store, on Chartres street, where her
wounds were dressed and her immediate re-
moval to the hospital advised-where she was
conveyed. Her wounds were there pro-
nounced to be severe, but might become dan
gerouS.
SAT the hospital Matilda stated that Will
liams with whom she had lived for long
time, became enraged at her INCONSISTENCY;
that he called at the house in the morning,
when they had a row, and he struck her over
the head with a brick and left; that he re-
turned in the evening, and, after few words,
cut her as above stated.
Williams, when interviewed by a representa-
tive OF the DEMOCRAT, at the station, stated
that he had been drunk, and that he had a
faint idea of what had occurred. In the
morning they had few words, but denied
striking her with brick; that when he re-
turned in the evening, she opened the fight
by striking him over the head with an iron
at the same time exhibiting the cash on his
head; that he then struck her. He denied
cutting her with knife, and that if she is
cut, that it must have been done with his
finger nail. He further stated that his name
was not Williams, but John Lewis.

AN IMPROVEMENT,

Now that the city has put johnson street
in tip top order and condition by having the
street nicely graded and ballasted from Es-
planade to Lapeyrouse, the residents of that
section ought to show their appreciation of
this work by having their sidewalks repaired
and planked, and by fixing up the cutters
with wooden curbing.
Some time ago johnson street, in that part
of town, was perfect quagmire after days
rain, but now it can compare with any shell
road in the city.
Another improvement to be noted Is that
rounds on that street, where formerly no cart
of that sort had been seen.
