in considering the case Of Guiteau was made
known officially this morning by state
ment from the Attorney General that the

Letter from Rapuahannock.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
WooDvILLE, Rapp. Co., Va, June 10
Our community is just now more or less;
agitatcd with regard to two subjects; the
milk weavil, and case of attempt to
poison.
The weavil is universal in this vicinity
and IS sapping the wheat to such an extent
that the grain must necessarily be both
diminished in quantity and seriously affected
in quality. 1t has also invaded all the oat
fields, and its effects in that quarter are so
plainly visible and its raragcs SO devastating
that it is not probable that single field"
will he fit to harvest.
The facts in the poison case, us ;lsccrlaincd
from Justice Namhorn. before whom the
ALTAR wa; tried, arc as follows: James
lh"rhhlll. upon being summoned to break
fast, Il few days ago, by his brother Dallas,
was offered mug OF milk which, upon
tasting, he found 50 intensely bitter that
ne ran To the door and $pat it out. His
brothers wife then took the mug and
cmptird lis contest in Il chicken trough,
from which it WAS Tapped by cat and a
dog, both OF which died in about fifteen
minutes ailcrpartakingo oft james Thorn
NIL at once went to Justice Samuel Van
horn and asked for Il warrant of arrest for
his brother Dallas and his wife. Mr., VAN
horn informed him that before granting the
warrant nc must make oath that he believed
they had attempted TO poison him. This
james Thornhil at first declined to do. but
was finally persuaded by friend who ac-
companied him to consent to it, 1t seems
that Dallas and James Thonrhill were living
Ill the same house. and cultivating the Elrm
together, and Dallas married II lady whom
James did not like and brought her TO their
JOINT home This addition to the family
circle resulted in mutual quarrcls and abuse
and finally eliminated as above stated
There are circumstances attending the case
which induce many to believe that james
Ihornhill himself placed the strychninc
in the milk in order to rid himself of his
brother Dallas wife. The parties have been
bailed for future hearing
1t Is but right to state that Dallas Thorn
hill has always been esteemed and respected
by his neighbors.
Owing to his having lost the KEY to the
mail bags our Postmaster (Who is a thorough
going Malone NAM is in daily fear of losing
his place, and the Office itself has been
virtually closed for nearly three week, and
our people have to get their letters, &c,
from the adjacent Offices at Sperryville and
Rocky Branch. We are Southerners how
ever, and the Postmaster General does not
disturb himself in the slightest degree on
our account. P

The statement from Georgia sources that the

President Garrett in answer to note sent him
asking as to the truth of the report sent back the

are now based upon disagreement, and which was
explained ut the time. That agreement looked to
large increase Of the business between the South

increase of this traffic is effected and large
results are flowing from it, and which will be
greatly Increased in the early future. The trade
