A MAN BURIED ALIvE.-An Irish.
man who died suddenly on the Rail
Road, was buried at Wheeling on
Tuesday. Those who attended the
funeral, after lowering the coffin into
Sthe grave, returned to their homes,
leaving man to fill up the grave. 1t
appears that after throwing in few
shovels full Of earth he was alarmed
by singular noise as if kicking and
struggl ng in the coffin, SO that he ran
away. Coming up with Mr.. Fitzim-
mons he told what he had heard, and
both Immediately returned, raised and
opened the coffin, and found the man
turned on his face and his person warm.
The Gazette says that if the coffin had
been opened when the commoton was
FIRST heard, the man might have been
saved, and that he died solely from
Ssufoeation.

and thus put Mrs. M. in correspondence
with her deceased husband, in heaven.
She became intensely interested in the
Tappings, and held, rs she was led to
suppose, frequent interviews with her
husband, until finally she became de-
ranged. The Commercial says that
among her other mental vagaries, she
imagines the spirit of her husband oc-
fcupies her body, that her own has de-
parted to give place TO his, and that if
she could discover his mortal remains
she would be enabled to endow them
with life, by returning to him the soul
which, though properly his, now ami
mates her.

ssa a GANG OF JUVENILE HoUsg-
1BREAKRRs.-During the past summer,
while the families of many of our citi-
zens were out Of town, u number Of
houses, which had been left closed up,
were robbed. Among them, three
dwellings were forcibly entered and
ransacked in al outrageous manner
These were the mansions Of Mr.. Will
liam Ryan, Logan Square, Rev. Ly-
man, Coleman, in Rittenhousc Square,
sand John Welsh, Jr., Esq, Spruce
street. A boy was caught by Mr..
sWelsh's man, one evening, leaving the
premises. This led to the taking of
two other boys into custody.-From
information obtained from these
youngsters and others-one in the
House of Refuge-it was ascertained
that very bad youth from New York
had enticed them into crime, and shar-
Sed with them q part of the proceeds.
a.a.ho youth referred to planned and ex-
5ecuted the robbing Of all three of the
houses above mentioned, appropriating
to himself the most valuable portion
:o. the plundF obtained. FIc fled 20
New York, to which city he was pur-
sued by officer Magargee, Of the Mar
sshals police. The officer, however,
was unable to ferret him out, and the
New York police are yet on the look
out for him. A few Of tho stolen arti-
ieies were recovered by officer Magyar
gee, and restored to. the owners.-PhH.

From Chihuahua.

The San Antonio Western Texan of the 10th. has the
following interesting information from Chihuahua and Ell
Paso:
Mr.. W T. Smiths train arrived at Mr. Lewis rancho
on Saturday last having made the trip to Chihuahua
back by way of Ell Paso in three months and fourteen
days His trip has not only been rapid but successful
Accompanying the train eutenants Smith and Til
inghast, U. A. aso, Messrs Snowden, Won Nipple and
Johnston, who came passengers.
After leaving this place, the train forty-two days
going to Ell Paso. Left there June q for Chihuahua
which place it reached in thirteen and half days Left
Chihuahua their return July 49, arrived at Pres
do in nine days at which place it took the California
trail for Camanche Springs the I'll road raakng
that point in nine days hence this place in fifteen
Taken together, this is rapid travelling for train We
had intended giving the distances between the
points, but were unable to obtain them in time.
The California trail from Preside Camanche Springs
is considered impraccable for loaded wagons There IS
however fine route from the head of the Lympa being
perfect level nearly the whole distance with plenty Of
permanent water at convenient points From Preside
Chin there two or three routes one of which
good road.
Trade at chihuahua is reported dull. No rain had fall
len for long time and much alarm that the corn
crop would be failure. The Indians very trouble
some in and around chihuahua. In some instances.
Mexcans had been killed almost the very streets of the
city. No means had been adopted to arrest or put an
end to their depredaons. In fact there is an apathy
about the people that is and will continue TO be- fatal to
their prosperity.
Trade at staudstill Mt FL Paso. There appears
to be no money in the county The Indians about Ell
Paso still continue very troublesome.
1t reported that Captain Longs company of Cali

miles above Ell Paso Another company had lost all Of
theirs before reaching FL Paso Great numbers had

OuR PAST COMMERCIAL YEAR--We call atten-
ton to the Annual Commercial Statement, which
we publish in to-day's Crescent.
As the commercial department is one virtual
~ independent of our supervision, we are free
to say, that, we believe. in every requisite and
substantial statement, the conductor of that de.
partment will be found to combine clear and i'm
pressve statement with the convenient breyity
sought for by all intelligent mercantile men.
Reflective citizens, Of every pursuit, will find
presented a useful compendium of desirable, if
not necessary, information; and, if at all
given TO investigation or comparison, may draw
fromit many suggestive and instructive deduc-
tions
IL space admitted of our so doing, We should
give conclusions we have formed in the premises,
and which, We believe, have been arrived at by
reelection and not by the misconstructions of
prejudice and pride Of opinion. Rightly pre-
sented and fairly considered, there are, to all
the citizens of Louisiana, important lessons and
grave monitions in the Annual Commercial
Statement of the City of NewOrleans
