The Grand Jury Creates Sensation and 10
DO the Neu,pspeis- Other Matters OF In
teYest.
fCorrespondence Of the Richmond Dispatchl
JANUARY 20, 1856.
Since the recent adjournment Of the
grand jury the liquor-dealers and the
light.fngered gentry Of this city are
breathing freer that is, the few OF
them who have so far escaped indict-
ment. The action Of the grand jury
caused great sensation in the commune
ty, and was also the means of promoting
considerable emigration ofthe faro deal
ers and gamblers Of other descriptions.
Some amusing incidents are related in
connection with the investigations of
the Jury. 1t is said that when the
name of certain young man was called
as a witness a member Of the jury re.
marked with evident satisfaction
Why, gentlemen, he is one Of my
Sabbath-school boys; and you will find
out nothing through him." The examl-
nation proceeded and the good mans
confidence was sadly shaken. The
Sunday.school lad knew it all. One
prominent man is said to have demanded
the name of the juror who had him sum-
moned with the intimated purpose of
raising a row but he was told that all
of them had hand in it. None of the
indictments have yet been tried.
At Amherst Courthouse yesterday a
negro named Port Redcross was tried
on the charge Of maliciously cutting a
white man named jim Myers, with in
tent to kill. Myers was pretty sharply
carved up, and at frstit was not believed
that he would recover. The cutting
was caused by a quarrel about
prize-turkey shooting-match. The jury
gave a verdict against Redcross Of
thirty days in the county jail and 500
fine.
Some time ago Henry Morgan,
negro man, was mistaken for rabbit
and shot while hunting with a compan-
ion. He survived about two weeks
only. His family and friends insisted
that his wounds did not occasion death,
but that he was also poisoned. A post
norton was held, and Professor Minor
was employed to examine the stomach.
No poison was found, and to-day the
coroner's jury rendered verdict that
Morgan came to his death from the gun
shot wounds, attended by indiscretiOn.

Case of Crueity-A Tramp jailed.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
JANUARY 90, 1886.
A case Of cruelty has just come to
light in this county. A man who lives
in the northern part Of Albemarle
brought his little son to Charlottes-
vile during the recent cold snap. Pre-
viously to starting the child had been
out in the snow and gotten his feet wet.
Upon returning home the father at
tempted to remove the little fellows
boots, and learned that boot, stock
ing, and feet had frozen together. The
removal Of the boot was accompanied
by severe pain, and in places the skin
was stripped from the foot. Although
the child so plainly needed the imme-
date attention Of physician the father
refused to summon one, and it was only
by chance that a Charlottesville ply.
stefan became aware of the facts and
visited the sufferer. The feet had turned
black.
Mr.. Dawson Elsom died yesterday at
the residence Of his daughter, Mrs. G..
t. Estes, in this place. He had long
been in bad health and his death was
not unexpected. His remains were
conveyed to Sharon, Nelson county, and
inferred to-day.
A tramp entered residence in Char
lotiesville last night at about 9 o'clock,
and, having removed his boots, was

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
CULPEPER, January H., lsSG.
With January Court yesterday COM
menced our first quarterly " term of
the County Court of 1856. Our newly
appointed Judge, W. L. JeiIries, ESD,
presided for the first time. The attend
ance at court, although representing all
parts of the county. was not large.
There is but little Of interest to note
save the general complaint relative to
the deliquent-land taY-list, which causes
much disquiet and promises to fall very
heavily and unjustly on many Of our
people.
Rev. DR.. Hatcher, Of your city, de-
liyered a lecture here last night to
large audience. 1t was for the benefit
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. The lecture was highly appre-
ciated by the audience. A collection
was taken up for the benefit of the
Association. The Association numbers
about eighty members. K.

Mad Steer After Gore.

An Ithaca telegram says: \ mad
steer attacked two-horse sleigh driven
by the brothers Slight near the Uni
versity buildings to-day, and seemed
determined to kill the men. The ami
NAL sprang on the rear of the sleigh
and gored the occupants, tearing off the
overcoat Of one Of them and bruising
him more or less. A little further on
the steer encountered a pleasure party
of women and men in a sleigh and was
only prevented from doing serious in
jury by prompt and vigorous measures.
The vicious brute is supposed to be a
valuable thoroughbred recently import
ed by the University.
