Fatal affair.

--The killing of Nelson A. Patterson, formerly proprietor of the City Hotel at Lynchburg, and recently an assistant clerk in the Virginia House of Delegates, has been noticed. He was killed by Dr. Cephas Lowry, at Liberty, Bedford county, on the 23d. The Virginian says:

‘ "There seems to have been little or no provocation for the murder. The parties were in a barber shop, when Lowry, who was drinking, took up the brush and attempted to lather Patterson's face. The latter objected to the procedure and told Lowry to desist.--They then went out of the shop, when the shooting occurred. Whether anything more passed between them we did not learn. Lowry endeavored to escape by pressing a soldier's horse into service, but was captured and committed to jail."
