Another Description Of the Albemarle
Murderer.

Another Description Of the Albemarle
Murderer.
1t seems to be the prevailing opinion in
Albemarle. and in some portions of Au-
gasta. that James Rhodes (alias Clark the
murderer Of the Massie family in Abe
marie, is still around his old haunts in one
or the other of those counties. The Char
lottesville papers have just made public a
description Of Rhodes Tor Clark given by
an officer of the Tennessee penitentiary,
in which he served a term. We copy it
in the interest of the ends of JUSTICE:
TENNESSEE STATE PENITENTIARY,
WARDEN's OFFICE.
NASHVILLE, TENN, June 18th, 1882.
Mr.. Micajah Woods, Attorney for Common
.Cedlth of Virqinia:
Sir,-Yours of the 10th instant here and
noted. James Clark was sentenced from
Sullivan county for larceny, two cases, and
arson one case, in all for eight years, De-
cember 18th, 1877. Nineteen years old,
six feet high, weight, 100; scar on the back
OF left hand, blue eyes, fair complexion
escaped from prison December 5th, 1881.
The above is all that is recorded of him
uGCo, duU IL Was I6COTu6tl Wucu to Was It,
ceived. He is now about "a years old, and
has perhaps grown little in height and
weight. He while here. worked in the
foundry, and think learned to be mould
er which he will perhaps follow as trade.
While working In the foundry he got one
or both feet burned. On examining his
feet you will find scars from the burns
Sears from burns caused by hot iron. es-
pecially on feet covered with shoes, are not
very easily detected. When they are wash
cd and clean they resemble marks made by
small pox and wrinkled. I mention the
above, thinking that after the arrest (if you
can identify him more readily. His general
appearance is bad; he seldom. if ever,
looks you in the face while talking; has
thin, long face and long nose.
Yours, &C..

A FAMILY MEETING.-A few days ago
Charlotte johnson, domestic in The en-
ploy of Mr.. A.Lynn, received letter from
Charles Woody, colored, of Baltimore, who
as slave boy here, was sold twenty years
ago, and went to Georgia, inquiring if his
mother, whom he had not heard of since,
was living. His mother who is living in
Richmond and long since believed her son
dead, was notified of the letter, and next
week, with his wife and children, he will
visit her and have one of those family re-
unions which are the sad reality as we'll as
the joyful romance of the institution OF
slavery.

YEsTERDAY's SHOW, THE BEST THAT Ev-
ER EXHIBITED IN THIS PLACE-A LARGE
ATTENDANCE AND EVERYBODY WELL
PLEASED.
As announced, the monster shows OF >.
81. Barrett & Co, exhibited here yesterday.
and Notwithstanding the raiE fell nearly
all the afternoon, many persons were
TUNED away. not being able to get seat.
even standing room was at a premium.
There was not SO many present at the
evenings entertainment, for the reason
that but few ladies would go out on &C
count of it raining very hard about the
time the show opened, yet there was
very large crowd present, and but rev va
cant seats. There was upwards OF $500
in attendance in the afternoon, and 1,5OO
in the evening, which was much larger
turnout than the management had anClcl-
pated, on account OF the weather. The
performances were all very good and with
but one or two exceptions, all that they
advertised. There was noticeable ab-
sence of the hawkers, who usually pass
around some sweetened water and palm it
of for lemonade, and disturbing the au-
dieDce by tramping upon them. and being
in their way. There was excellent order
kept, and no one was permitted to stand
in front OF those who were seated, which
was in striking contrast with the Circus
Royal, which exhibited here two weeks
ago. The animals they advertised were
all to be seen, and from their appeara Dcs.
we should say that the society for the pre-
ventlon of cruelty to animals will not soon
be called to take care of the animals, as
they are well fed and cared for. The Off

They treat every one with civility and
courtesy, something usually neglected by
showmen. We say candidly that s. H.
Barrett & Co.'S Show was the best ever ex-
hibited in this place, at least they gave the
most general satisfaction of any that ever
Came here. There was nothing immoral
shown and everything was done to make
their patrons feel comfortable. Had the
weather been more suspicious. the crowd
would have been immense. We cheerful
ly recommend Messrs Barrett s. Co.'S Show
