No More Nmnll.POX.

From the Norfolk ylrginlan Of yesterday
We are glad TO be able to record that
there are now no more smallpox cases in
Norfolk or vicinity. The nurses are now
being quarantined, after which the last
trace of the disease will have been eradi-
Gated. But twelve cases altogether have
been treated; OF these, six unvaccinated
ones died. The disease was brought here
in the first instance by q SAILOR on vessel
from philadelphia, aud thus communicated
to nine other patients. Another case was
taken from vessel In the harbor direct TO
The pesthouse, while still another contracted
the disease IN the county. Surely all credit
Is due in this matter to our watchful health
officer DIR. James ID. Gait, for there can be
no doubt that largely to him Is owing our
escape from q more destructive spread OF
that terrible pestience smallpox.

CLOSE OF CASE IN MHItH HUN. c. 10 WISE
WAS OF COUNSEL FOR DEFENCE.
GSufolk Herald
The entire term OF the County Court was
consumed in the trial Of Nathaniel Pittman,
charged with the murder OF Euclid Day.
The killing took place at Eyeretfs Bridge
on the 18Th of November, while Piltman
was on a spree. Day was killed with a
pocket.knife, receiving but one wound. in
the neck or throat Monday and Tuesday
were consumed in examining witnesses, and
Wednesday was taken up with the argu-
ment. On Thursday morning the jury re-
ported verdict for voluntary manslaugh-
ter, and fixed his term OF imprisonment
at eighteen months in the penitenliary. The
verdict was received with compOsure by the
prisoner. but his. counsel made motion to
set aside the verdict and asked for a new
trial, which, being refused, they concluded
to take an appeal. but upon second thought
dropped the whole matter and accepted the
verdict. The following gentlemen com.
posed the jury: Francis II. Ellenor, James
NJ. Savage, Lemuel Gardner, Jesse w.
Rogers, Borland X. Doughtie, Hennng :.
Douebtie, Mills j. Rlddick, Elisha Rawls
(of Wm.), Mills Il. Darden, James c.
Vaughan, John b. Vaughan, David l.. But
Ter. It is understood that on the first vote
six OF them were for one year and six for
two years confinement, and eighteen
months was accepted as compromise.

General MahODe's Detection.

HAKKISONBUKG, MlTCH =, 1851.
Perhaps the people Of Virginia IN other
parts OF the State would like to know what
the mass OF the people Of the great Valley
OF the Shenandoah think OF General Will
liam MahOne's apOstacy. The Republicans
are, of course, pleased with his abandon
ment OF his old Democratic associates and
friends; but the Democracy "laugh TO
corn his effort TO do them more BARN
than his desertiOn has caused them. The
Democratic party here simply regard Sena-
tor Malone as lost 10 them, aud a. having
fooishly shorn himself OF the strength they
gave him to do them harm. But few Demo
Gratis will follow his example. IL be can
survive his treachery. his old companions
in-arms will try to stand it.

Den DEATH, ETC.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Di-pateh.I
CULPEPtR, March %, 1891.
Monday was an exceptionally tine Gay
for March cOnrt, and consequently we bad
a very large attendance. but less Of business
or interest than we remember ever to have
seen at a March court, which with us has
always been a largely-attended and busting
day. Fewer horses exhibited, fewer sales
bv auction, and less general barlerlng Than
we have ever noted-nOt even patent
medicine man was present to enIlyen the
crowd. Little OF interest was done in
court, which early adjourned TIL next day.
The meeting OF the LOw-TaX Association
advertised for that day was unayOidabiy
postponed. This new movement seems TO
have a good many friends and supporters
among our people.
We learn that new weekly paper Will be
at an early day started in our town-AnguS
McD. Green, editor and proprietor.
Yesterday at the opening OF the court
Maggie Williams, mulattO girl about SIX
teen years old, was arraigned for larceny.
convicted, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for five years.
This morning cOlored man named David
Jackson, about fifty years old, working at
the mill Of Burgess Il Co., fell suddenly,
and died before assistance could reach him
from heart disease.
The back ward weather has thrown our
farmers considerably behind in their spring
work, but il the weather remains favorable

We have only to add that the bargain and

zette makes the significant declaration that
"t cannot be reasonably expected that the
Virginia Democrats, with strong opposi-
ton at home, aided and abetted by the Re-
publicans and so.caled Independents OF the
North. will insist much longer upon forcing
full payment upon creditors who, Judging
from the Heroid, are unwilling toaccept it."
Republican capitalists may find after all
that they have gone too far.

A TeutOnic Argument.

In the Legislature of Ohis, some years
ago, there was warm dispute whether a
certain proposed railroad should COM
mence at given point down or at GER
tain other up the river. "Who ever
heard" said a down-the-river advocate,
'of beginning anythi ng at the top? Who
ever heard of building a chimney from
the top downward? Who ever saw a
house begun at theitop?"
Up jumped Dutch member from an
up-the-river county. "Meester Brezi-
dent, de jentlemans zay dat dees beeznes
ees all Won hoomboog. because We wants
to pegeen our railroat nit de top ov de
Shtate, und he make some seely com
barisons apout de houze and de schimney.
I veel also ask de jentlemans Won ques-
tions. Zen hees bart ov de Shtate, ven
dey pegins to build Won veil, or do dev
pegins nit de top ov de veil? Veil de
ientlemans bletze answer me dat one
leetle question:"
The laughter which explosively fol-
lowed this Teutonic retort showed who,
in the opinion of the legislators, had the
better OF the argument,-Hdrpers Draac-

Another Comet.

About two o'clock on the morning of
the tst of May, Professor Lewis Swift,
director of the Warner Observatory, at
Rochester, n. Y. turned his telescope to
the constellation of Andromeda and dis.
covered bright comet, moving in a
southerly direction. The new comet is
located in the constellation above named,
right ascension. hours, minutes; de-
clination, 81 degrees North. This is the
first comet discovered during the present
year, and places Prof. Swift in possession
of the 5000 prize which Mr.. H. II. War
ner offered last January for the discovery
of comets. Inasmuch as Prof. Swift re-
ceived $500 for tho discovery of the com.
ct of 1880, from the same gentleman, he
is at last finding astronomy profitable as
well as pleasant. 1t IS not thought the
present comet is the expected one of 1872.
although it is nearly the location from
which that comet is expected, nor is
there any reason to believe it will have
any effect on the earth, or hasten the
predicted coming of the end of the world.
