The SuoorIyo or ALLrN PooLr.-

/ He SHOOTING OF ALLEN POOLE
The tragic result of an attempt To ar
rest Dir. Allen Poole, on Wednesday
last, for an alleged violation of the
revenue laws, h:,s created bitter feel.
ing OF Indignation in the western part
OF the county, where the affair occur
red, and the excitement extended to
this community-one of the principals
being an officer of the city police.
The facts, from the most reliable in
formation we can get, are rs follows /:
Allen Poole, son of Martin Poole,
Esq, of the Back Greek section of
this county, was charged with viola
ton OF the revenue laws of the Uni
ted States, in selling liquor without
license, &c., the specific offence being,
we understand. that he sold whiskey
at campmeeting about year ago.
This charge, il is said, Poole strenu.
ousiy denied. A warrant was issued
for his arrest, and placed in the hands
of Deputy Marshal Turk, of Augusta
county, who took officer Evans TO as
sist him in making the arrest. The
officers went in buggies, aud met
Poole, who was in wagon, at Back
Creek, on the Northwestern road, just
about dusk i'll the evening. Observ.
ing their approach. it is said, Poole
jumped from his wagon and leaped a
fence into a cornfield, to escape from
them. Evans got out of lis buggy
to pursue linn. Both officers ordered
Poole to halt, aud Turk told Evans,
IF he don't stop, shoot him. Evans
fired, and ran after Poole through the
corntieid, firing again rs they both ran.
The tall corn and the growing dusk
concealed Poole etiectualIy, and T.
vans gave up the chase. Poole finding
himself growing weak, made his way
TO Mr.. K b. Smiths residence, where
he tainted. DR.. S. j. Smith was sent
for, who found that Poole had been
shot Ill the back, the ball taking an
upward course, and lodging in the
shoulder in front, whence he extract
ed it. The officers returned to this
city. Poole swore out warrant.
aud on Saturday Constable Scrivcner
came to this city and arrested Evans,
and took him before Squire Lockhart,
OF Back Creek district, for trial. The
magistrate committed Evans without
bail, and he was lodged in Jail on Sat
urday night. Turk, we are informed,
assumes entire responsibility for the
occurrence, and has employed DR.
Love ut his own expense 10 attend
Poole during his illness.
Poole has the sympathy ofhis neigh
hors, and the entire community in
which he lived is greatly excited. At
the trial on Saturday large crowd
of his friends were present, and it was
evident they were ready and wiling
to take mp his cause in any manner
which might have been suggested.
Mr.. Poole has the reputation OF be-
ing peaceahle, industrious young
man and is we'll known in this city.
lIis..wound WAS at first supposed to be
mortal, but we ale glad to learn that
he is now considered to have a good
chance Cor recovery.
Forbearing comment, as the case is
now i'll shape to be Investigated by
the Courts, we have given the facts
OF the unfortunate affair as accurately
rs we. have been able to ascertain
them. Winchester Times, Aug. 10.

A Villainous Act.-This is an age
of deception and'froud, greater than
has ever marked any era in the worlds
history. Every day we read of some
deep laid and cunningly executed
machination. The latest and most
cruel yet perpetrated comes from Rich
mond. A highly connected young
lady, of that city responded to an adj
vortisement in Hartford paper for "a
governess for the daughter of an Ohio
widowcr. A man calling himself
Marvin, answered in person. lie
held several days interviews with her
and was charmed. Then he went
north. That was in the early part of
July. A few days afterward he re-
turned to Richmond They were
married. The groom brought m,
merous well written letters of intro
duction, and settled thirty thousand
dollars on the bride as wedding gift.
Before starting upon their wedding
tour he was introduced at the Fist
National Bank. presenting letters of
credit, and Il draft on large western
banking house secured for him eight
hundred dollars for his immediate
wants. Nothing was heard Of them
for several days after they left Rich
mond, but the draft was promptly re-
turned and the whole plot was dscov-

Excursion Notes.

STEAMER COLUMBIA EXCURSION.
 sail on the beautiful Hudson, especially at the opening of fall scenery, means day of exquisite enjoyment. On the 10th of September all will have one more and last opportunity of sailing down the Sound, through Hell Gate, past the Brooklyn navy yard, the bridge, Governors Island, around the Battery, and twenty miles up the Hud son on the last grand Ryder's excursion. The palatial steamer Columbia is chartered for the trip. The fare for the round trip is only 75 cents. The boat will stop at Twen- ty-Third street, East river, and all wishing may spend six hours in New York, while those who prefer sail, with music and dan cling, can stay aboard and enjoy the entire trip. But no matter how you decide, don't fail to join the throng and make one of the happy excursionists on the 10th of Septem- Der.
 At the Shelter Island excursion of the Elm City Saturday, the party numbering many influential people, passed resolutions of thanks and hearty appreciation of these ex- cursions as in high degree acceptable and enjoyable. Hon. c. B. Bowers presided at the gathering, Wm l.. Everit, Esq, secre- tary.
 On Saturday next the steamer Grand Re- public will make an excursion from this city to New York and Coney Island, leaving Belle Dock at 8 o'clock, and Canal Dock at 8:3O a. m.

The Disaster to the Steamer State of
 New York-One Life Lost-LOss About
 $40, 900.
 The State of New York, the regular boat from Hartford for New York, was whecked Sunday evening at Goodspeed's landing One life was lost There were between 300 and 400 passengers on board. It appears that the State of New York was steaming past Goodspeed's landing at 8:30 p. m.
 when 8 tug came along and the steamer steered out of it's way. In doing so it struck upon rock, making hole in it's bottom The steamer began to fill rapidly. and she quickly put in on the shore opposite Good speeds landing. All the passengers were landed safely. The baggage master of the steamer. Mir. Sidney Sellew, just after the steamer struck hastened to the cabin and closed the door, locking himself in, and no one knowing he was there, he perished. His body had not been found when the train left the place of disaster in the morning It is supposed that it is in the baggage room, for he was last seen by that door. His light may have been extinguished, the door closed upon him and caught him in the darkness and water inside He was married and lived in Haddam. His wife is chambermaid on the same boat.
 The damage to the boat and furniture is estimated at from $35, 1000 to $40, ,000, which is covered by marine insurance. It is impos- sible to say how long it will take to raise
