The Case of the COlored Boy Lomax.

w. II. Saddler, colored, who formerly
practiced law in this city, but who OF
late years has been located in Pennsyl-
vania, has been employed by friends OF
John Lomax, the colored boy, who is
under sentence of death for assault on
the late Miss Costenbader in King
George county, and on Wednesday he
went to the county seat for the purpose
of examining the record and ascertaining
the facts produced before the jury at the
trial of the boy. He made copy of
the record and filed it in the Circuit
Court. Saddler says that while he
thinks there are some technical errors in
the record, he cannot say there is any
thing upon which an application for
reversal of judgment could be based, as
els satisfied the court had sufficient cir
cumstantial evidence before tito warrant
the action taken He, however, says it
is probable the Governor will be I'M
portuned to substitute Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for the boys crime.
The grounds upon which this will be
based will be the youth Of the felon, his
natural stupidity and want Of compre-
hension of the enormity Of his Ofense.

PnstoElce improvements.

The supervising architect of the treas
ury has approved sketch plan for the
extension of the postoffice, courthouse
and customs house at this city. The eX-
tension calls for the expenditure Of 500, =
600, the entire appropriation made by
Congress. The old building is to be in
creased thirty-two feet on st. Asaph
street by sixty-two feet running back.
The present shape and appearance of
old building will not be materially
changed. The addition will be three
stories and basement. The foundations
and walls will be of brick and the ex-
terror walls faced with brick. The work
will be let to contract in about two
months, after the working plans have been
made. Representative Mxey, it will be
remembered, asked the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds for 5000, 900,
for a new structure for this city, butt was
finally determined by them to have the
present building enlarged and made
more commodious for the business OF
the postoffice, L. 5. courts, internal
revenue and customs house.

Pretended Suicide.

A young man, who has been con-
fronted by domestic infelicity for some
time, last night created some sensation
in the northwestern part of the city by
causing many to suppose he had com
mitted suicide. He procured a yeast
powder bottle and filed it with coffee,
leading his friend sto suppose itcontained
laudanum. He then proceeded to Col
ross, near where young Travers took his
life recently, and taking drink from
the bottle lay down on the grass and
seemingly passed into stupor. A
crowd gathered and the conventional
methods of bringing him to- were
enacted, during which one of the party
picked up the empty bottle and from its
size concluded the Suicide had drank
half a pint of laudanum. He, however,
upon placing it to his nose discovered
that the man had drank coiee-only
this and nothing more. Those who had
previously been giving expressions OF
commiseration, when they realized the
affair had changed from a tragedy to a
farce used their toes and sticks on the
possum-player and finally brought him
to his feet when it was seen he was Ill
his normal condition.
