is now. Il Is with grea, difficulty that any
Of our mills can do any grinding, aud The
demand for meal cannot be supplied. There
have been 90 rains Of aay consequence west
Of ne Tor a long while, though the showers
east OF Us have been Of frequent occurrence.
The complaint OF severe drought seems 10
be general throughout the State. a gen.
tleman who recently travelled through
Southwest Virginia says that no good rain
has fallen Ia that section siBcs April, and
that the country is parched and DRY. The
bay and corn crops are q fsilure. The
usually rich, green fields OF Pulaski and
adjacent counties present the appearance Of
DRY stnb0lc. and many people are selling OF
their cattle for want Of food to carry them
through the season.
The Blue Ridge Springs property. which

Correspondence OF tie Richmond Dispsicn.l
SAN HARRo. August 20, 1881.
The quarterly term Of our County Court
was held on Monday tie 18th OF August.
Two cases that attracted great deal Of in
,erest came before the grand jury on that
day, The FIRST was that OF David Street,
charged With stabbing Joe n. Brooks.
The evidence was very plain, proving il 10
be q very malicious case OF felony. The
grand Jury brought ia q true bill sgsinst the
prisoner. but owing 10 the absence OF an
important witness the counsel Tor the de-
ieudant asked that the trial be postponed,
and that the prisoner be granted bsil. This
the Court sgreod to. fixing the amount OF
bond at $500. At sunset Street, having
failed 10 give satisfactory security. was,
after considerable remonstrtnce on his part,
nut for safe keeping In the lower cell
or dungeon OF the county isll. When
The isiler went TO see him next morning the
doors OF the Isil bad been forced open and
Street bad given 4" leg bail" lie must have
received assistance from the outside. No
guard was placed ia tbs Jail, as II was
thought to be entirely unnecessary. His
escape, I believe, gives general satisfaction.
| The county Is saved the expense OF trial
and the community has been relieved OF bis
presence for all time. The other case
brought before the grand Jury was that Of
Thomas J. Cairns, charged with attempting
to POISON d. p. Lewis. From the chsrsc-
ter OF the witnesses and their testimony the
iury was satisfied that the charge was
prompted BY malice, and refused TO bring
In 8 true bill, thus relieving Mr.. Cairns OF
auv blame or suspicion in The matter. A
sun for SANDER msy be the result Of tsn
charge.
There was no political speaking on the
court-green that day, except with Republic
cans. The delegates TO the late Lynchburg
Convention were calsd upon to g1Vs 80 40
count OF their stewardship, but from what
| can learn their report was not very salis-
factory. One Of the delegates told them
that they could now vote as they pleased,
either for the Bourbon-Funder men or the
Regdiuster men. This county sent Straight
ont delegates TO the Convention. see
