Tho occurrence has crestsd mu,h in-
dignation here, and the woman viii 30
severely dealt with II she does not
make her escape. !,
The Circuit Court has been engaged
during the week in trying the case Of
Dafiield Savage, hotel-keeper at Acco.
mack Courthouse, against j. Revsi,
Sturgis, who Is now serving term OF
Eve years in the penitentiary for kill
ing Smith Mears in this county last
fall. While Sturgis was in the county
Jail he had his meals furnished him
from the hotel, for which the proprie-
tor charged him so cents . day in ex-
cess of the usual rates. Sturgis re-
fused to pay the bill, and hence the
suit. One considerable item Of the bill
was the amount due for liquor which
Sturgis procured from the hotel curing
his confinement. This item the Judge
ordered to be stricken out Of tho bill.
As soon as this case is ended the court
will take up the suit Of Mears's widow
against Sturgis for $4,000 damages
for slay ing her husband.
The hard times are not very visible
in this town, as there are more build
ings going up here than were ever
known at any one time before.

NORFOLK, June IL. 1856.
A Young man named William q.
King. clerk at the hardware establish
ment Of Mayer & Co., in this city, has
been missing since Friday, leaving a
wife and two children in Portsmouth.
King left the store suddenly on Friday
afternoon, and it is thought probable he
at once went on board the Baltimore
steamer and left for the North, as there
is clue to that effect. lie ia the eldest
son of the late Chief Engineer William
II. King, Of the navy. The family are
greatly Frustrated.
A negro named Edward Clayton, q
fugitive from Lynchburg, was arrested
here last night on telegram from the
police authorities Of that city stating
that he. is wanted on criminal charges.
The prisoner was forwarded to Lynch
burg this morning.
The French corvette Talisman, which
has been in the harbor about ten days,
put to sea yesterday for New York.
No one on board could speak English,
and there was no visiting ashore,
great disappointment to such OF our
young ladies as desired to air their
French.
To-day gives rs the hottest weather
Of the season, the mercury indicating
% in the shade on the streets.
The schooner William Ward, sunk in
the harbor last evening by collision with
the ferry, was raised by the wrsckers
this morning.
The depositors here of the Exchange
National Bank do not generally agree
as to the wisdom Of the appeal to the
Supreme Court in the Balm Brothers
case. The cost Of the litigation will be
enormous, and it will be five years pro-
baby before the case is disposed Of.
Under the decision Of Ohief.JuStice
Waite here last month the Exchange
Bank gets 100000 Of moneys traced,
$40, 2SS.4 10 as preferred creditor, and
slO2, geo along with the depositors Of
Balm Brothers in the second class. The
Exchange is suing on million dollars
involved.
The wrecks Of the schooners Anihea
Godfrey, in Lynnhayen bay, and larry
Not, near Viewpoints News, were blown
to pieces to-day by the officers Of the
United States Engineer Corps stationed
here in order to remove distractions TO

A movement is on foot among the
merchants OF Norfolk to raise a joint
stock company to operate in grain in
the markets Of the West and bring the
staple to this port for export.
Miss May Hatch, who disappeared
from her homo in Baltimore and came
to this city on Tuesday, took passage
from here the same night on the Boston

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
OLD POINT, June, IL, 1886.
Coming down the river yesterday on
the Ariel, fell in with party Of rail-
road-men and northern capitalists who
came aboard at Claremont. They are
the same party your correspondent at
South Boston relers to as having
aroused the railroad spirit in Halifax
to heat. An interview with Mr..
r. D. Tillar disclosed some interest
Ing points in connection with
the road. Mr.. Tillsr, the presi-
dent Of the new road, had with him
Messrs. Charles A. Sinclair, Of Bos-
ton, President Of the Worcester,
Nashua and Rochester railroad;
Charles Howard, Superintendent OF the
same Ely Sweat, Woonsocket, Rhode
Island Charles Gardner, Boston; W.
II. Flynn, Maine, aud Mr.. Cook, of
Boston, engineer. The party had just
been over the proposed route, or rather
the two routes, discussed. They went
by rail TO Danville, and there the
party divided and went by private
conveyance. One party travelled over
the South.of. Dan route, the other going
by Halifax Courthouse, Scottsburg to
Buffalo Lithia, where the two parties
met, and then, travelling together ria
Claibsville, Boydton, and Lawrence
vile 10 Hicksford, the present terminus
Of the Clsremont road, making the 10
miles in four days. They had a most
tmesome trip, but are pleased with the
country, and Mr.. TIllar says the road
will be built, and the engineers will go
over it next week. The subscription
of Halifax county, the only one on the
proposed route which has not SUBJ
scIibed. will determine whether the
road will go by the Courthouse or
South Of Dan. Mr.. Tillar thinks that
county must vote $3.50, 900 in order to
bring the road by the Courthouse.
find that wheat harvest has COM
menced on the lower James. Yester-
day Major Mann Page started his reap
els into some Of the finest wheat on
the Lower Brandon estate ever saw
anywhere. | saw corn on that fine
estate already waist.high. On Upper
Brandon, Westoyer, Shirley, and other
plantations the wheat is ripening fast
and looking magnificent. On the fine
farming lands about City Point the
farmers are much mystified and dissp-
pointed by their promising fields Of
winter oats heading into cheat. Whole
fields ard broad strips in others are
nothing but cheat, while other fields
but few yards distant are oats all
right, though oats was seeded on all.
An experienced farmer has since ex-
planned to me that in order to get win
ter oats unmixed with cheat the seed
must be gotten from winter oats which
was sown in tie spring, and not from
that seeded in the fall or winter. That
will, it is stated, invariably be all OF
part cheat. Farmers should take note
Of this. VOX.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
SOUTH BosToN, June II, 1886.
The news Of the result of the election
yesterday for subscription to the
Lynchburg and Durham railroad is re
ceiyed here with the greatest satisfac-
ton. Although it is not surprising
that Lynchburg subscribed her $780,
900, yet the splendid majority by
which it is given falls with telling force
upon the opponents Of the road in this
county, Of whom, however, am glad
to say there are few. There is scarcely
any doubt, certainly no reasonable
doubt, that Halifax will subscribe
$l50,000 by large majority.
Now, if the Atlantic and Danville
Company will locate their route by Hal
fax Courthouse it will impart addition
al strength to the two roads, making
certain Of subscriptions to both, and
this, think, will be done.
TERRY's TRIAL.
