Buryiag . WIFE and finding Her Aliy

'Buryiag Wife and Finding Her Afive.
a most singular circumstance occurred in
this city last week, towards the close, that
has been the subject Of remark among the
high officials at the court house, and in seve-
eral Of the churches. The story runs thus -
A young married woman called on the Hon.
-ludQe Satin Of tina Court az Larnnaasl pia.s.-
pital, which was. through his kindness, nnme-
diately obtained. After remaining thereafter
days, Mr.. Doolittle, the very efficient Stew
ard of the institution, called upon the Judge,
stating that the woman for whom he had OBJ
tanned admission into the Hospital wasdead,
and said he was seeking information respects
Ing the woman's husband, stating, at ths same
lime, that the woman was foreigner, and
was expecting her husband here; ldnriog her
watching for him she became sick ands desti-
lutte and applied as above. JudgeSafin took
the trouble to advertise in one or the German
papers for the person, and the advertisement
had the effect dof finding the man early next
day, and the sad news of his aEife's death was
told him. The husband lost ho time in sepair-
ing to the place where the. corpse laid. He.
kissed her cold lips g that laid death sold in
clay r to- use the very impressive line Of an
old nursery ballad, and did The necessary bu-
rial, after taking the body to the4chureh, and
doing all the necessary ceremonies peculiar
TO hisabelief and duty IN such cases The
corpse was inferred in respectable burial
place, and the husband returned to the Hos
pital to inquire If there were charges, for
which he ID honor stood bound. On his re-
turn, instead Of going to the g Dead Room, .
as he did IN the first instance, he was shown
to the Convalescent Department. > What
was his adjustment and delight how his
heart leaped with joy-il there, finding his
wife, into whose arms he fell with a Wild 10Y
business, not to be described in paragraph, Or
exhibited in d drama The body that the
kind and sad husband had inferred, by mistake,
was that Of an unknown and friendless female.

more singular incidentin vain, and the works

PROSPECTS FoR Is4o--INFLuENcn


A new and remarkable element has mado
its appearance, to excite speculation. and sti,
mulate that desire for enterprise which. has
long lain dormant. We allude to the gold
discoveries in the Californian regions, This
is by no means the first gold excitement to
which our markets have been exposed. In
the year 1903, negro found in North Ca
rolina lump of gold Weighing ~ lbs, worth
some $4,000, and since that time many mines
have been discovered and worked in Virgin
in, North Carolina, South Carolina, Gcor.
gia, Alabama and Louisiana. In 1886, near
~ as great an1excitenlent prevailed in rela
ton to them, as does now in reference to
California Persons from all quarters crowd
ed into those regions and the product was
then estimated at o., 100000 per annun -
Gradually. however, hopes failed to be real
lied Although the mines became richer as
they we're worked the business was found in
the long run less profitable than others. -
Hands were withdrawn to cotton fields
Companies dissolved, aud the work was con-
tinued only by farmers and others, who dig
only when otherwise unemployed The CEN
sus gave the number Of smelling concerns at
l56, and the product for 1889, 1928, 405.-
From 1924 down to l84S, $4,000, 600 has
been realised from those mines = go

The last steamer from Europe reports . far
ther decline ID the prices of breadstuffs. 7I
This result is very different from that
which was predicted by the Free Traders,
and the sage political economists, who advo-
Gated the tariff of 946. We recollect, that
Gen. Bayly, in the canvass of AZ, assured
the good people Of tide-Water Virginia, that
the Free Trade Tariff of '46 would enable
themto commend shout IS barrel for their
corn, and that Norfolk. harbour would be SO
crowedwith square-rigged vessels, that small
craft would no more be sisiblein those waters
The scarcity, which then prevailed in Europe,
creating great demand for corn, prevented
his prophecy from being falsifed before the
election was over. But since june AZ mp
