ceiyed from the State, and the Common

mainder-s12, 900. The State this year gave
S5, GOO towards the support OF our pupllc

Many hundreds OF people-white and
colored-assembled in the vicinity Oh. H,li-

Though the election is over the poiltlcai
situation is not without interest. The va

ton, and the counciImen are kept busy day
after day by interyiewers. For the single
office OF street commissioner, which pays q
salary OF 5000 per annum, there are said to
be thirteen candidates, each one OF whom
is confident OF election. For other oflces
there are numerous candidates, and for APP

cants are almost without number.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]
CuIpEPER. Nav 25. 1879.

CULPEPER, May %, 1878.
This has been our county-cOurt week. be-
ginning with our regular court-day, Mon
day last. The attendance on court-day was
very small, and little business has been done
other than regular routine and one or two
small larceny cases tried.
The bright weather Of the last few days
has greatly improved the appearance of our
pectations of our farmers for the long-con-
both crops and owners, and we had some
long faces among US. The prospects are
good now, we think, for q fair crop.
Our corporation election came off Thurs
day last and was very quiet. Major John
b. Stanard was reelected mayor, John Peters
reelected sergeant, and four whites and two
colored to the council. ~E r.
Yesterday was our memorial-day. The
morning was quite unlikely, with several
showers during the day, but by evening it
was clear, and at the appointed hour quite
o crowd assembled in the yard OF ST.. Ste
phen's church, where the procession was
formed, which, headed by the chief marshal
and assistants, many citizens on horseback,
a large procession OH foot, each carrying
flowers, followed by a, long line of car
riages, proceeded up Davis street to Cole
man street, thence out Coleman to the GEM
etery; arriving at which q prayer was Of
fered by the Rev. Mr.. Wynn, and short
and appropriate address by MIR. John
Rixey; after which the decoration COM
menced, and all the graves were fully and
tastefully decorated, and the company re-
turned. a.~.r. II.

s TRAGIC AFFA1R-A MAN MURDERS His
BnoTHER-1S-L note from Forest
Depot Saturday we learn that most tragic
affair occurred on the premises of Mrs.
Sam. Radford, about one. mile from that
place. Friday night. Two men, named
Frost Coles and Alexander Sliey, who are
employed upon Mrs. Radiord's farm, had a
misunderstanding in regard to some corn
rows, at which work they were both en-
gagged at the time. Both men being Hercu-.
lean in strength a terrific rencontre ensued.
during which Coles drew his. knife and
stabbed Sliey in the left shoulder, INJECTING
a most CHASTITY wound. Drs. Lowry and
.Bowyer were summoned, and upon sur
:gical examination it was ascertained that
the knife had penetrated to the lungs, and
that internal hemorhage had set in. BE Is
not expected to survive the next twelve
hours. They are both men of families and
1brothers-fn-law. Coles is thought to he
concealed ID the adjacent forests.-D. W.
