OF A YOUNG LADY, &C., &C.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatcb.l
APRIL If, 1881.
The rumOred burning to death OF two
coOred men in house about three miles
from stanton last Thursday morning, OF
which | wrote you, turned out TO be TWO
children Of Ned Reeves, a colOrcd man.
One OF them-a girl five years old-was
burnt up IN the house; the other-eight
years od-ran out with piece OF burning
comfort around her. She was burnt all
over her body, and died in few hours.
The man Reeves is SO badly burnt that his
recovery is doubtful. Literally everything
was burnt up in the house, and the man and
his wife, with a few articles OF clothing
given by the neighbors, and childless, have
been sent TO the poor-house.
Several interesting criminal eases have
been tried before Judge Smith, Of the Hust-
ings Court, the present term now In session.
j. II. Smith, the cOlored burglar who stole
Sis from the house OF Major Tom Shu-
mate last month, on the second trial by 4
mixed jury was convicted and sent TO the
penitentiary for six years.
Oscar Wimbush, colored man who AS
saulted c. NJ. SDead on the Chesapeake and
Ohio train last December, was also tried by
mixed jury, and got two years IN the PEN
iientiary.
J. 5. Grover, charged with grand larceny
stealing $40 from the pocket OF Enoen
Whisman, who was sleeping In the sanc
room with him, was tried yesterday. Th'
accused had borne an uDexeeptional cha
racter for honesty, and large number o
the most respectable witnesses In tn
county, among whom was Bishop Glosbren
ner, testified as to his high character. Bn
he was unfortunately on spree, aud the dc
fence claimed he was not responsible for II

FIRE IN DINwIDDIE COUNTY-PERs0NAL-- THE
FRUIT QUESTION: PETERSBURG BIBLE So
ETY-DEATH-POLITICAL MATTERS, &C.
ICorrespondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
APRIL II, 1891.
The storehouse OF Mr.. j. c. Duane. on
the Old Stage road. in Dinwiddie county,
occupied by Mr.. William Scbanb, was de-
stfoycd b. fire several nights ago. The
stock OF goods was insured for $500; no In
,urance on the building. The fire Is believed
to have been OF incendiary origin.
1t IS believed that DR.. Eaton will accept
the call to the Walnut. Street Baptist church,
IN Louisville, very recently extended 10
bim-though no official notification OF ire
fact has been given. DR.. Eaton succeeded
Rev. DR.. William T.. Hatcher in the past0'
raj charge OF the First Baptist church here,
which be has held for five years. His tie
partule from our midst will be deeply re-
GREETED by all classes.
The fruit question is still agitating the
minds OF the fruit-growers. The lmpres.
sion seems 10 be that the fruit OF the Ouddcd
trees was killed by the cold spell IN Janu-
ary. while that OF the seeding trees was I'M
hurt.
Rev. John Pollard, d. D., Of Richmond,
has accepted the invitation 10 denver the
address before the Petersburg Bible Society
at the annua! meeting TO he held on the
fourth Sunday of this month in Grace (EpI'-
cOpIl) church.
Many Of our citizens have contributed
articles for the fair Of the Norfolk Clty
Guards, which is to be held to enable that
company to entertain their guess during
the Yorktown CeBtcnni1l.
Mrs.. Sally HarweIl, native OF this see
ton, and widely known and connected IN
the adjacent counties, died recently at Grand
Junction. Miss. aged seventy five wears:
Political matters are very quiet here. Inc

Another Railroad.

We have read with care the report IN tue
Wheeling Inteuigencer OF the proceedings OF
the railroad convention held In Wheeling
last Tuesday. The indications are strong
that a railroad extending from Wheeilng
10 Charleston, aud connecting at the lat
TER Mace with our Chesapeake and Ohio
road. will be completed in very
short time-possibly within year. 1t
will not enable Richmond people TO
reach Wheeling any sooner than they
now can by way OF Washington aud the
Baltimore and Ohio road but 1t will ring
all parts Of West Virginia south OF Parkers'
burg nearer to this city. Anyhow the roao
is one much needed and that ought 10 be
built. II will benefit all the springs IN VIZ

| COMPARATIVE DEATH. RATE or WHITES AND
BLAcKs.-The impression has gained ground
OF late that the dcath-raie OF the cOioreu
people since they acquired their freedom IS
not much if any greater than mat OF tne
whites. Under this belief quite number
of the Iife.insurance companies at The East
issued pOicies to the two races at TIE same
rates. They have found c0gent reasons IN
the falling in OF much larger proportioh oi
| deaths among the colored people 10 alter very
materially their schedule. Mr.. j. J.. O'Sul-
| Ivan has been writing on this subject III the
New York Sun, in which he pointed out the
popular ialacy in this regard. we pave
| nov before us the statistics OF New Ofle'h
in which we frd that the dcath-rate for the
first six months OF 1880 among the wbite
populatOn was % 43 for each thousand, ana
among the coiOrcd 36.35 Ter thousand. IN
the last half year the rates were 22.2S
among the " hitcs and 1888 among the COL
ored peOpe-a difference in the deatn'faie
which follows very closely that reported De-
tween the two races in the eastern S'ateS'
and showing that The same causes operate 10
produce the larger proportion OF dcalhs
among the colorcd people III both sections
Of the Union. and. without doubt, in all the
States if the investigation Werc made gene
raj II baltimore SIN.
And showing, Of course, that the large
death.rate in cities whose negro population
EQUALS or exceeds their white population is
due to the mortality among the negroes.
But let no phianthropist jump TO the con-
clusion that the negroes will not or do not
increase much more rapidly in the southern
States than the whites do IN the New Eng
land States. They arc prolific race.

! The weather has been rs variable as a wO-
mans temper fDr TWO weeks past. Snow,
hail, rain, sunshine, and general ndeti-
nitenc>s sufficient TO worry the life out Of
the farmer and gardener. Farmers are very
backward in their crop preparations. The
late spring Ia, exhausted all their forage,
and Just A. they need ii most it cannot be
| had | find that very few farmers will plant
tobacco this wear. ! hear some complaint
OF difficulty Of getting hands for the crop
season. This j. due to the inducements held
out by the mining and railroad operators,
who have carried off large numbers Of co.
lOred men. A diversity OF farm operations
j. now the leading idea. As 10 the fruit
crop, there is hardly any doubt that the
peaches are killed and the apple. injured to
large extent Everything in the garden
vegetable line is scarce.
Politics remain mixed in this county vet.
The coalition ticket is meeting with little
favor from either party. | have heard that
distinguished member OF the Republican
party, who is also an eX.cOngreS> has
been trying to patch up Il ticket that will
combine the forces, but his success is not
apparent. In the mean time people OF all
parties who do not want office can see no
reason why the incumbent- OF the several
offices 10 be liled should be removed, as
they have proved efficient in all their duties
especially Is their places may be occupied
by persons OF doubtful capacity, to the
detrimcnt OF the public good.

raised his eyes towards hedeep blue sky,

lilies on the surface OF a clear, calm lake.
Then he cast them ON the earth, where
few more helpless beings than himself
were moving towards their inevitable goal
the tomb. Already he had passed sixty
Of the stages that lead to it, and he had
brought from his journey nothing but
errors and remorse. His health was de-
stroyed, his mind unfinished, his heart
sorrowful, and his old age devoid OF COM
fort.
The days of his youth rose up in Wis
ion before him, and he reached the SOL
emn moment when his father had placed
him at the entrance Of two roads, ono
leading into peaceful, sunny land. COW
cred with fertile harvest, and resound-
ing with soft, sweet songs while the
other conducted the wanderer into deep,
dark cave, whence there was no issue,
where poison flowed instead Of water,
and where serpents Kissed and orawled.
He looked towards the sky, aud then
cried out, in his anguish "Oh, youth,
