Anotber DimcuIty In Cuba,

The Philadelphia Bulletin briefly states the late
fuss in Matanzas as follows: An American citizen
died in Matanzas and the consul took charge of his
effects sealing them up with the seal of the consul
late The Alcalde requested that the seal might be
opened 80 that, in accordance with well known
law, an inventory of the effects of the deceased
might be taken. The consul refused to allow this.
the Alcade reported the refusal to the Captain ZEN
eral and the Captain General ordered that the law
should be enforced. Hereupon DIR. Worrell feels
himself and through him, his republic, inSulted,
and packs up his carpet bag for home. BY this
time the carpet bag and overburdened feelings are
unpacked and the story of his wrongs is probably
laid before the powers at Washington The
amount of indemnity claimed is not yet announced
The Bulletin jestingly adds rumor that fleet
has been ordered to Havana.
There is no danger of collision with Spain We
are on the most pleasing terms of friendship with
that amable power. All our hankerings for hel
possessions have passed away with our ability tc
acquire them. We shall send no feet to Cuba, un
less it be like the last to fraternze with the feet
SPAIN to hob-nob with the Captain General. an,
put down fillibustering. q"

Among the greatest curiosities in the fateht VI
sce at washington, are the busts OF NUMBER Oh
sfteenth rate notorietics, which are stuck up among
the crocodiles, alligators behemoths and monkeys
.nd are voyaging in the same vessel to immortality
We certainly think most of these busts are the ug
lost representations of animal nature in the whole
collection If the originals sought to CRAFTY any
personal vanity by such exhibition in the Paten
Office they ought to hear the remarks that are made
NV visitors: what ugly wretch is thats" Never
hoard of him before" what is he, doctor, lawyer
or highway robberi" ''Wbat did he ever do, tc
bring him herei" &c. &c Such are the questions
and remarks which are constantly elected by the
crowd of hideous looking busts of the smallest great
men that the world ever produced, now on exhibi
tjon In the IT, S. Patent Office.
Washington endeavored to collect all the coin
that had his image upon them and destroy them
What contrast to the conduct of the aspiring ma
nikin of our times But Washington could afford
IT, for his image stamped in everlasting letters,
on every American heart. These dwarfs, on the
contrary. would never be rescued from the tide of
oblivion, unless they adopted some such device for
uotoriety rs that which we have described, and then
they are only thought of to be pitied for their ugi
ness and laughed at for their folly.

CHARLES RANDOLPH, infant of John 2. and
Harriet 2. Pearson, aged Is months and "a days
On the morning of September 9th, after suffer-
ing but brief Illness Mrs ANNA BURTON GEORGE,
consort John George and only daughter of the late
James Brown Sr. of this city. She, who forms the
subject of this notice, but lately moved in midst,
full of life energy and spirit dispensing happiness to
all within her influence. But the Swallowing wing of
death has cast its sable pail around her loved form,
and the resemblance of her virtues alone remains to
cheer that darkened home where her uniform cheer
fitness like a sunbeam gladdened every heart. With
highly gifted mind she was formed to adorn any
sphere of life but naturally ambtious desired not
to figure amidst the hrong of fashion, but loved to
make her tireside happy and it there where all
the sweet sympathes and affections of the heart clus
ter that she was found mnstering angel in
sickness and in health Her friends feel that her re-
moval has created vacuum which must forever re-
main unoccupied-but it is the husband the children,
who so we'll knew her value upon whose happiness q
blisht-a mdew has fallen, which many revolving
wear will find unmitigated.
As wife and mother her example are truly worthy
of record and with confidence may it be asserted that
with her presence was interviewer every comfort,
every pleasure of her family.
In life she was practical Christian, and in death
expressed firm hope in a joyful resurrection.

NORFOLK, oct. ..
have the pleasure of stating once more, that the
yellow fever seems at last to have ceased its attacks
upon our citizens. Ihave heard of no new cases
since Thursday. There were but very few burlals
on Saturday. and heard of none at all yesterday.
The great calamity seems TO be nearly over; the
sickness excepting some cases III the suburbs, has
nearly ceased The Christening hand of God Is
withheld and the quick work of death and burial
that has been going on long, has almost terwina
ted.
We certainly had frost today; there is no mis-
take about this now. l am ready myself, with
many others who have seen it. to bear willing test
mony to the appearance of white frost this
morning. 1t is now to be seen on the mousse tops,
and upon the still unwilted grass and flowers, that
will soon show its whitening effects. As this will
be death to vegetation, so hope it will be to the
fearful fever that has robbed our resides, made our
hearts desolate and peopled the grave yards
1t has trod on quietly, and proudly, and
cruelty. like a mighty, mercess conqueror,
regardless of the cries and prayers that
came from bleeding hearts crushing many of
the best and the strongest and most lovely. But
the reign of the unfeeling monarch is well nigh
over.
Our city has been sorey afflicted and thou
sand hearts are sad; ten thousand bright hopes
blasted.
Nav the living take the matter properly to heart
May those who arc mercifully spared, learn wis
dom and be henceforth true to their souls best in
tcrests and their high destiny!
Hastily, F.
P. S.-Mr Hawkins, the keeper of the Aims
House is reported worse.

Everything was ready for the execution nj the
hour fixed-the gaows was erected and the oft;c;al
witnesses were in attendance The Sheriff va
not appraised of the intention of the Executive untl
about nine o'clock, and he did not receive the re-
prieve until half past eleven. He at once eommu
nicated with the prisoner, and stated to him that
through the exertons of Drs Clark and Stedmau
and other friends delay in the execution had been
granted, with a view of hearing further testimony
IN his behalf. The poor creature was so overcome
tnat ne feil upon the floor senseless. He soon re-
Vlved and wept pteously, and uttered, in broken
tones, his thanks to DIR. Clark. He spoke to a few
gentlemen who were introduced to him. and said
that he hoped he might be able in the time allotted
TO him to requite those friends who had taken an
interest in his behalf -
