An attempt was made last night about .
O'Clock TO burn the frame tobacco STEM
merry on Tabb street. The patty gained an
entrance 10 the house, which FOR some time
past has been unused, and kinded the IRE
on the floor. The fiimes were fortunately
discovered by some gentlemen who were
returning home from service at the Tabb-
street Presbyterian chnrch, and were eX-
tinguished by the prompt application OF
few buckets Of water. This i the tDird
attempt made within week 10 burn build
ines almost in the very heart OF the city,
the success Of which was only prevented by
timely discovery. II seems a. II there Is
some determined effort 10 cause fire, but
by whom cannot be ascertaned.
Bishop Whttle will visit the Episcopal
churches in this city next Sunday week.
He will confirm class at Grace chHl ch in the
morning, another at the Church Of the Good
Shepherd in the afternoon, and a third at
81. PaurS church at night, preaching on
each occasion.
The advocates Of the temperance cause
have recently become more active in their
efforts. The society recently organized In
the west end Of the city Is doing good work.
Under the auspices Of Petersburg Council,
No. /, OF Friends, Rev. Or. Edwards will
tomorrow night dCliyer public address on
total abstinence. The first Of o series OF
meetings in favor Of practical prohibition
was held yest6 rday afternoon, and was well
attended. II was very satisfactory meet
ing. and good speaking and singing marked
the occasion. These meetings VIII be held
every Sunday, and in the warm weather
will be transferred TO the Academy Cf
Music.
The public interest in the sale OF the At
lautic. Mississippi and Ohio railroad mas
been greatly increased to-day by u" an

the fairness Ct the assessors in assessing my
land and the land OF his brother j. Massle
Smith.
The dninuS Of this unfortunate man is
easily seen when be refers TO me as the
"Readju,ter judge" and TO his brother aS
"a Democrat" thereby insinualIng that the
assessment referred to was partisan one.
am ga Readjuster,' and he i gene
rally esteemed the great Virginia What Is
III"
The assessors appointed by me for this
county are the peers OF any assessors in any
county in the state. rs The impartial assess
ment and the mechanical execution. OF their
work attest. No Instructions were given to
these gentlemen, except, perhaps, TO call
their attention to the fact That when parties
thought the assessment was too low they
should put It at the owners figures, and say
so on the margin.
But Mr.. e.. +. Smith says his brother :
land f235 acres) was put at $3.50 per acre,
whereas it was put at Sl3 per acre. and the
buildings at y. 900, while he must know, i
he examined the record 10 which he rtfer-.
that the $l3 embraces or includes the build
ingS, leaving on the % acre only Sl.OJ5 for
The land alone, or not quite $40 per acre
for his brothers, "Whilc the nominal rs.
SeSSmcni.' he SAYS, ''Of my 200 acre. al -
per acre, aud deductiug 800 for the tempo.
rary buildings (all they cost, leaves Sl,40O
for the land alone, OF - per acre. OF go
per cent. HIGHER than bis brothers.
But this OfliciOu, Nelson >cribblcr says |
have a superior vineyard, since put on nv
land, and puts the gross product much
higher than it was, and then iorGeiS to
state that since the assessment Of - ll>
brother has planted vineyard nearly -
large as mine, an orchard OF about LOO
trees, and additional building, at least Is
valuable Is mine. He farther says " Sncc
this was done che low a>>cssmcntl, Dor
rowed 81, 700" There, again, be saws what
i not fact. The money arrangement was
made for me by gentleman who would
scorn to sccurc money by false pretcnces.
Indeed. there i not one statement true OF
bis whole article He CLOSES by saying :
" such cases - this are numerous all over

But the court has not vet begun It's specia'

having occasion to refresh my memory
upon the subject, referred TO Aprleton's

which failed to find; though there was
plentiful sprnklDg OF third-rate Yankee

Of Mr.. Jefferson. And what real Plymouth

any trace Of snch manl
