THE LATE Col. AsHBY.-Col. Turn
or ". Ashby whose death occurred late
Yesterday evening as stated in the GAZ-
ErrE of that date was not only we'll
known in Alexandria, but more or less
throughout the State. AS was stated
he was postmaster of this city in ante
Jellum times, serving for about eight
wears, having been appointed by Presi-
dent Pierce aud continued in office
by President Buchanan. The pre-
sent postoflice was built principally
through his instrumentaiity. On
Nav oath, 1861, before his successor,
VIM. D. Massey, had qualified, Col. Ash
bv LETT this city for the South, relin2uish-
inc the postotiice TO one of his SUI
bordinates. He returned TO Alexandria
shortly after the close of the war where
he spent the evening of his life, re-
spected and esteemed by the entire con-
muDitv among whom he moved daily
and in whose midst he was Il promi-
nen; and familiar figure to all. OF late
increasing years, sad bereavement and
the multitude ofinfrmities which beset
advanced age, presented in him
striking commentary on the allegoricai
picture, in holy writ, of the closing ca
5eer of man-his whitened locks, fading
sight. lettering frame, and general de-
crepitude making it painfully apparent
to those near and dear that it was but a
matter of time-a very short time--when
Death should give the final stroke by
!oosening the silver cord and breaking
the golden bowl and the pitcher at the
cistern that the dust might return unto
the earth as it was and the spirit unto
God who gave it. And now having
crossed that mystic river. in charge of

who watch on The golden sands OF the
eternal shore to welcome earth's weary
mortals to better land.

SHOT AT a SUPPOSED THIEF.-About
nine O'Clock last night while Lieut..
James Saith was near the corner OF
Cameron and Alfred streets he saw a
misunderstanding negro whom he be-
lieyed to be chicken thief on whose
tracks he had been for several days.
He called to the negro to halt, but the
latter paid no attention TO the summons
and made it apparent 10 the officer he
intended to escape. The Lieutenant,
finding he could not catch the man,
drew his pistol and fired twice down
Alfred street at the retreating figure.
one of the bullets entered Mr.. Die
nclt'5 drug store. on the southeast
corner of King and Alfred streets and
buried itself in the wall. The propric-
tor had but a moment before turned
away from position which had placed
him in direct line with tho course OF
the bullet. Lieutenant Smith says he
fired his pistol to scare the man and
with no intention of striking him, but
failed to elevate the weapon high
enough TO prevent danger TO people
some distance away. The affair caused
some excitement in the neighborhood
at the time. The suspicious character
who occasioncd it all vanished in some
direction.

DEATH OF a FAIRFAxAN.-Mr. Geo.
Sims, generally known as Hum" died
near the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
Goram, in Fairfax county, yesterday
under circumstances which point to
suicide. The deceased, who lived near
Bculah Church, left his home and pro-
ceeded toward his daughters house.
Upon arriving at a hillside he sat down,
produced bottle and glass and took q
drink of what was supposed to be
whisky After draining the bottle he
broke the glass in a thousand pieces,
and later he was found very i'll, but re-
fused to be taken into his daughters
house. He appeared to be cQnciious Of
the fact that he was about to die, left
some instructions in regard to liquidat-
ing minor debt he owed his son, threw
up his hands as one in the throes OF
dissolution and afterward expired. The
deceased was well-known in Fairfax
and this city, and was always looked
upon as good-natured. He was about
eighty wears old.

FALSE ALARN.-The alarm of fire
between five and six o'clock yesterday
evening was caused by columns of
thick smoke issuing from a chimney of
the banking house of Burke and Her
bert, at the southeast corner of King
and Fairfax streets, which was blown
by the northeast wind over the adjoin-
ing property which passers-by suppos-
ed was on fire, 1t seems that the jari-
tor of the building had filled the fur
mace with quantity Of old paper and
ignited it. This caused the smoke and
the subsequent alarm.

FAIRFAX Notes.-The stable of Mrs.
Mary Malcolm, about three miles south
of Burke's station, was destroyed by

rye.

longing to Mr.. John Reid on the ad-
joining farm, was found tied in the
