A HEAVY REwARD.-There are nearly
$500 ia Albemarle as reward for the cap
ture of Rhodes, the murderer, and strange
to say the belief is that he has returned to
that county and is still concealed in some
of his old haunts. The Charlottesville pa
pers publish revised description of him
which we copy:
He is about six feet in height; weight,
1856 to IT'S pounds. and has blue eyes.
{ When last seen he had on black cutaWay
coat and vest to match, the material of
the coat and vest having dark brown
stripes running through it; black pants;
blue hat with cord around it; white shirt,
size 16; common boots with blue tops; all
new. His moustache is light, but his
hair is Of chestnut color. He has a scar
over his left eye, which is slightly colored,
and in conversation his brow is contract
ed, showing wrinkles obliquely towards
the nose. This popularity is very notice
able.
