arr These were about all the facts deVei-
oned before the Judge, and Pritchett was
admitted 10 bail in the sum OF $4,000 for bis
anpearapce before the County Court Of
Djnwiddie on the first day OF the November
term.
I understand from the attending physt'
ciau that Twenty-Five squirretshot from
prichett's gun entered Chappeli's shoulder
and arm. The wounds were scattered over
aspace OF about nine inches. TWO OF the
shot went through the arm and one IN the
elbow. Some OF the shot have been re-
moved, but most OF them remain IN the
body.

Petersburg in 1857, since when he had ira

year, during the ycllow-feyer epidemic In

Though the fact has not been definitely
announced, it seems to be understood that
the Senatorial Nominating Convention for
this district will be held in September, at
Surry Courthouse. A meeting OF the city
and county superintendent was held here
4 day or two ago, and such, it is believed,
was their action. 1t seems TO be the opin-
ion If the county committees agree upon a
man for senator that they will be given the
privilege OF naming him.
The Conservative citizens OF Surry Will
meet at their courthouse next Tuesday to
re0rganize the party and prepare for the
campaign.

expec;ed that they will carry with them a
large company OF eXcursionists.
