native of Rhode Island who moved 10
Georgia in early life. He was q remark
ably accomplished man in languages
and mathematics. Her mother was q

popular novelist and successful teacher.
and M2u6e Amulet Andrews Mrs Jos.

Miss Bowen's youth was spent in the
hospitable home Of hor uncle. Judge An

mons lawyers of the state. who were en-
teltained there IN large companies dur
ing the term of tho county court. And
she proftei by the forming iniu-
enoe Of their wit and wisdom.
Miss Bowen commenced 10 write for
print al an carly age, and received the
impetus OF complimentary encourage
mcnt from William Gilmore Sinms and
Il. p. Willis. For many ycars she wrote
anonymously. AS she says. she had the
old fashioned southern notion that a

Her best appreciation came from The
New York Sun. Mr.. Dana proved an

for The Popular Science Monthly an ac-

WHO STRUCK HIM !?
He csnnot or WIN NOS Give the Name Of
His Asssifsnts-Hfs Coz
dItfon Serious.

A white man named John Dick Hollis
way was found about 8 o'clock last night
on Third and Baker streets bleeding pro-
fusely and with o severe fracture on the
back Of his skull. lie had lost much blood
when discovered and was very weak, but
either on account Of his dazed condition
or for private reasons refused to tell In
what manner he had received his injuries.
THOUGHT TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT.
The city ambulance was summoned and
responded promptly. After having ms
wounds dressed by the physician IN cnarVe
Of the ambulance, Hollaway was taken 70
the almshouse for further treatment. MS
condition, although the exact extent Oh MS
injuries could not be escertained. was
thought late last night to be quite serious.
BLooD-sTAIss FOE SEVERAL SQUARES
The police were notified Of the affair and
Sergeant Brooks and Officer Wren went 70
the locality where the wounded man was
found. They traced blood-stains from the
THIRD street gate of Shockue cemetery
TO Bates street. and thence to Second
street. and from there to Leigh and Gay
streets, where the trail was abandoned.
They were unable TO ascertain how tne
man received his injuries, and although
they questioned him closely he declined TO
give the circumstances which led to his
being woun He'd.
NOT HURT IN THE NEIGHBoRHooD WHERE
FOUND.
Holloway is about forty-two years OF age
aud lives at No. G22 south Pine street. He
is married aud has several children. two OF
whom are sick. -, A.
Yesterday morning he was with Mr..
Marcus Mccain and Mr.. William kingtrey
and left them early IN the afternoon, say
ing that he was going j me to his SICK
children.
He had been drinking and the police are
of the opinion that he became involved IN
some difficulty and after being wounded
wandered in a semi-conscious condition to
the locality where he was found.

Ice for Next GUNNER.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

RICHMOND, December 81, 1880.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
II is very interesting to contemplate the
ice situation in advance. We (poor peo-
ple) have been compelled to deny our
selves this necessary luxury for the past
few years. But the prospect is that during
next summer at least we in Richmond will
not be shut out. Your paper confirms this
opinion. Even the James is frozen below
the city and steamship cut her way
through on Saturday or Sunday. On
Saturday they were harvesting ice on
North river, near Lexington Ice was
seven inches thick Monday around Staun-
ton. Skaters are enjoying the ex-
hilarating sport which the season
affords around Richmond. On Mon
day the farmers were gathering ice
around Scostsville, and 10 was seven inches
thick. Ice il floating down James river in
considerable quantities, and the kenne-
beck and other streams in the North and
East from which northern dealers obtain
their supply are frozen TO an extent that
guarantees large crop. Now. with two
Elephants right here in town, several deal
ers who handle many thousand tons. and Q
fair supply harvested by our country
friends, NAV we not look for lively times
next SUMMER One is reminded OF the
James-riyer steamer lines few years ago
when the traveller was almost paid to ride
down the river and q chrome thrown IN.
