We have made enqui ry as to his whereabouts, but have not succeeded in gaining any information, further than that a colored family by the name of Valentine lived in this town many years ago. The Augusta Chief of Police ought to send out4 description of Valentine. A rewar of nearly one thousand dollars ha been offered for the murderer. Thi is a Valentine that our police woul like to get.
