FATAL OBSERVANCE OF LENT.-Matilds
Goyno. woman about fifty years old, who
was admitted to the Watertown. N. Y.
county insane asylum two weeks ago, was
found dead in her bed Friday, having died
to take any food, being of the conviction
that God had commanded her expressly to
abstain from eating during Lent, and had
told her that all that would be presented to
her was poisonous. She ignored the most
tempting dishes left in her room, and would
not even drink the water provided by the
keepers. She broke icicles from the window
casing, melted them and them quepched her
thirst.

A CoLLAPsE.-Captain r. A. Paul, who
was once the master of ceremonies of Gov.
Cameron, and was forced on the city of
Richmond as member of her school board,
latterly became q barkeper. His place Of
business was on Seventh street, opposite
the First Virginia Regiment Armory, and
was known as the "Armory" saloon. 1t was
frequentei by negroes, and has been the
scene of many fights, shooting affairs, and
other scrapes. Several thieves have also
been caught inside of this saloon attempting
to rob the till. Though apparently doing a
good business the bar room did not pay.
Mr.. Edgar Allan Saturday night took pcs
session of it as receiver, and his clerk
called on Captain Angle and Sergeant
Brooks of the Second police district, to have
them watch the saloon after midnight, to
see that none of the stock was carried away
reptitiously. -Richmond Times.

THE THIRD REGIMENT.-The Board of
Improvement at it's last meeting determined
to secure, if possible, the encampment Of
this command at Charlottesville In June
next. A committee was appointed to wait
on the citizens of Charlottesville and secure
subscriptions to this end. About $500 will
be needed, which will be all spent in rations.
etc., in this community. and it is reasonably
thought that the people of the city will be
the recipients of from $500 to 5000 per day
during the encampment of week. The
President is most likely to be here about
that time, and it wonld seem fit and proper
thing to receive him with military hohors.
We heartily commend the scheme, and hope
our people will enter into it with the proper
spirit Charlottesville Chronicle.

The bill reported favorably in the Senate
Yesterday BY Mr.. Daniel from the Commit.
Tes on Public Buildings and Grounds for q
public building at Old Point Comfort was
reported favorably in the House in the last
Congress, but failed to go through for want
of time.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Edmunds
said hs was directed by the Committee on
the Judiciary to whom was referred the Dill
for tho relief of DR.. A. Sidney Tebbs, now OF
Alexandria, Va, to ask to be discharged from
its further consideration and that 1t be re-
ferred to the Military Committee, which
was done.
Among the bills introduced in the House
Yesterday by Virginia members were the
following: NJ. T. h B. Browne. for a light

Recent and most reliable information re-
ceiyed here indicates that Notwithstanding
his deolension, the New York delegation at
Chicago will be for Blaine, and that the feel
ing in favor of the nomination of Blaine
grows daily in every State north of the Pc.
tomac and west of the Allegnanies. Prom
inent New York people say that Blaine Is
by all odds the strongest and most available
man in that State.

quet given at Moore's Exchange here last
night, and made g speech that was received
with great applause.

The fact that Mr.. Blair, of New Hamp.

were Messrs. Plat, Hoar, and Hawley,
made bloody shirt speeches. Messrs. lamp

federate had asked for such bill, and de-
Tended the ex Confederates for their loyalty
and courage. The speech Of the day
was made by Senator Daniel. He
said that no disabled Confederate SOL
der was in an almshouse or had to beg
bread Every hamlet and firesde from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande made him q
welcome and honored guest. He said the
bill originated entirely in the brain of the
Senator from New Hampshire, and that
Wills he had every respect for the motive
by which that Senator was aotuated, he was
compelled to say that he, and, he thought,
oil other opfederates, were opposed to
his proposition. No ex Confederate would
ever be found in favor of any such legisla-
lion az that proposed. No disabled ex-C Con.
federate would ever be found in actual want

BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE.-For thirteen
years Mr.. H. q. Wilson, of Pittsburg, court
ed Miss Louisa E. Wilson. He was rich
she was beautiful; and. although their
names were similar, they were not related.
1t was long period for courtship, but
where love is, time never drags The hours
fit by like minutes days go like hours, and
years slip away like months. For thirteen
years Mr.. Wilson euded marriage. He
was ready in promises, but unwilling 10 take
part in ceremony that binds until death or
divorce cuts the bonds. Courtship was
pleasant enough for him, and although Miss
Wilson grew tired of waiting, he did not.
For thirteen years Miss Wilson saved the
various messages, the dear, loving letters,
and the sugar coated expressions of endear-
ment that the mail brought to her. And,
now, after her devoted admirer has refused
a last appeal for a wedding, Miss Wilson
goes into court and asks $50, 900 damage for
breach of promise.
