Several days ago DR.. W. NJ. Smith,
of this city, Major Of the Sd battalion,
Seventeen Virginia regiment, notified
Colonel Anderson that on account OF tire
Illness OF a number of his patients 1t
would be impossible for him to attend
the Manassas maneuyers. de, there
fore. asked tor a leave of absence for
thirty days with the privilege of joining
his regiment at any time during that
period should the condition of his pa
tients warrant it. Surprising his request
would be readily granted, he was mach
surprised when informed that it had
been denied and that he had been order
ed to report at Manassas when his regi-
ment reaches that camp. 1t being a
matter of life and death with his patients
should he obey the summons, MAJOR
Smith on Sunday sentin his resignation.
which was accepted, and meeting OF
the officers was called for today In Rich
mond to elect a successor. Captain King,
of the Alexandria Light Infantry, this
morning received a notice to attend the
meeting with his company officers. he
wired that it would be impossible Tor
him to respond in time to attend the
meeting and asked that it be postponed
till he could reach Richmond. He and
the other officers of the company lett
later in the day in the hope Of reaching
Richmond before the meeting adjourned.
Major Smith has given much of his time
to the militia of the State, and the fact
that it was not absolutely necessary for
him to be present at the maneuvers,
prompted him to ask for leave OF alb
sence. The companies whose officers
will participate in the election OF a sue
SCISSOR to Major Smith are Company Z,
of Richmond; Company d, OF Char
Iottesville; Company G, of Alexandria,
and Company |, of Fredericksburg.

A Mysterious Case.

A dispatch from Richmond says that
William Frederrkling, an intelligent and
refined young German, settled at Clare
mont two years ago on little farm which
he bought and stocked. Ere long he
sold all his farm effects and returned to
Germany. While there he met wealthy
orphan girl and they fell in love, and
owing to opposition and the fact that
her property wa held in trust the mar
rage was postponed. The young man
returned to his farm, and ere long the
girl followed hin, bringing only enough
money to pay her passage, and they
were married a once SO far the ro-
nance was perfect Then the woman
refused to live With him. He refused 10
pay her passageback. She demanded that
he secure her employment. Unable to
speak a word O. English aud unused to
labor. he PLACID her as a maid in
Philadelphia hdel, with the understand
inr that her hin should come to him.
Last week she went ClaremOnt TO de-
maud that her husband send her back
to Germany. Se refused to go TO her
husbands hous, and, having bad no
food since she let Philadelphia, was an
object OF charity She was taken in at
a hotel at Carenoht The woman de-
clares that Fredeicking wanted to hold
her until she wa of age, in order to get
her money, but in spite of all the cir
cumstances and ne strange appearances
against him Frelericking seems to be
heartbroken over he matter. He has
stood we'll at CIarenout for honesty and
gentlemanly conduit, and his reason for
allowing her, refined girl, who could
not speak English, to 60 among strangers
as a common savent in past CONF
prehension. He agreed to give her
money to pay her passage to Philadelphia
and to maintain her until she could get
money from home to return to Germany,
and also agreed 70 divorce, 1t cannot
be understood why she should cross the
ocean to mary him and then refuse to
live with hin. The whole matter is a
mystery.
