An Embarrassing Denouemen,.

Dreadful Death Of Leigh Rich.
mOnd's Grand daughter.

| The neighborhood of Clifton, England
was recently thrown into most painful ex.
citemeHt in consequence of the death Of q
young lady, the daughter of a clergyman in
the neighborng county OF G Gloucester, under
circumstances OF the most appalling descrip-
ton. The young lady in question, Miss
Mary Richmond, was about eighteen years
OF age,and is understood to be grand-daugh.
ter OF the Rev. Leigh Richmond. Miss Rich.
mond was on visit to connexion of her
family, residing near Richmond Park, Clil.
ton. On Friday che was observed to wan
der to a cliff, called "the Lion's.head Cliff"
which stands at on elevation of upwards OF
three hundred feet from the road below, and
from which are obtained magnificent views
OF the Avon, the Hot-welIs, the Leigh
Woods, Ashton and the surrounding scene
ry. From this tremendous height the un.
happy young lady fell. The precise circum.
stances which led to the terrible accident,
are differently stated, but that it was an ac-
cident. and not, US as first stated, a suicide,
there can be no reasonable doubt. Accord.
ing to one statement, Miss Richmond was
absorbed in the perusul of a book, and she
unconsciously walked over the edge of tine
precipice; another account states that she
was endeavorins to gather one Of the rock
plants which grow III the crevices of the
limestone formation, and that in her efforts
to reach it she overbalanced herself, and so
fell. In her descent she was observed to
beat against the projecting points ofthe cliff
and finally to pitch on her head on the wind
ing road which skirts the river. Assistance
was at once offorded, but the unfortunate
young lady was beyond the reach of any hu.
man aid, having been dashed almost literal.
ly to pieces. Her face was shockingly torn
and mangIed, her lower jaw being broken
and forced in on one side, several OF her ribs
and her arms and thighs broken, and the
flesh of her legs torn and lacerated. This
is the fourth or fifth accident of the kind,
which, during the last twenty.four years,
has occurred from the same cliff.

$4,000 MutilatCd Rln lnk Bills
CaVeleSSMcSS i'm burning tilcsm.

Mr.. Samuel Hall, Presiden. of the Nave,
rick Bank. Boston, called at the off ce of the
General Superintendent of Police, to obtain
help in ferreting out an individual engaged
in putting worthless bills of that ins titution
into circulation. Officer 1'iemann, detective,
wus accordingly detailed for that SERVICE
He stated the method by which the bills
were obtained. Some months ago, he and
several of the directors had taken some $780,.
600 of mutlated bills to an iron foundry, be-
longing to one of the bank officers, and
there consigned them to the furnace.
Nothing further was thought of the occur.
renee till some time since five dollar bill
with burned edges was paid in at the desk,
when on investigation it was traced to
workman employed in the foundry, who &C.
knowledged that bundle of these charred
bills had been obtained. A few days ago
another was sent from this city for redemp-
tion, with an apology for it's condition,
which was occasioned, the letter stated, by
accidental burning with q candle. It was
quickly seen, however. that the edges cor.
responded precisely with the bill already in
possession OF the bank, leaving no doubt
that the two had been in the package and
forge together. 1t is apprehended that
considerable number of these bills are in
circulation, and the officers of the bank are
determined to ferret oct the matter.
Some time since, it will be remembered,
a wusherwoman obtained bill upon one OF
the banks in Wall street, which had been
placed in crate and carried up the fiue BY
the drought. One or two analogous occur.
rences have been mentioned in exchanges,
ind dicating that there is often Carelessness in
this malteT.--POSt. ..., .. , ..

State school Libraries.

Our excellent Commissioner Of Common
Schools, Rev. Anson Smith, after visiting
great part of the State, in the discharge of
his othcial duties, has once more returned to
Columbus, and will now be able to attend to
his voluminous correspondence with teach
ers and others connected with school mat
ters. In conversation with him the other
day, we CLEANED the following information
in reference to his action, in the purchase of
books for the District Schools Libraries.
When in New York, few weeks ago, he
succeeded in making q contract for the
State, with the Messrs. Appleton & Co.,
the extensive book publishers, for about
1915 900 worth of books, at 40 per cent less
than the retail price, freight, drayage and
handling incluced. Great care was taken
in the selection of the kind of books, and
the quality OF the material is minutely speci.
fed. The binding of the books under Mr..
Barney's administration, having been OF the
most tiimsy character, Mr.. Smyth, warned
by experience. has taken especial pains to
have bis books bound in the neatest and
most substantial manner. The books will
be delivered in sheets at the bindery OF Fol.
lett, Foster & Co., in this city, who have
the contract for binding all the works pur.
chased by the Commissioner. From the
excellent work done in this department
heretofore by this firm, we feel warranted in
saying that the binding will not be surpass.
ed by any establishment in the eastern or
western cities.
The books are to be ready for delivery by
the lst of March next, and for every DAYS
delay thereafter, the contractors are liable
to forfeit Of fifty dollars. Mr. Smyth has
performed this important duty with an eye
single to the interest of the State, and the
people will no doubt approve of the economi.
cal and faithful manner with which he has
invested the public funds entrusted to his
Columbus Gaz.

Death OF q Child from Drinking
GIN.

Bayard SurpIass, aged four years and six
months, son Of John Surplass, residing in
Division avenue, near Tenth street, died
yesterday morning, from the effects ofa dose
Of gin. administered accidently by his father.
For some days past man named Thomas
Quigley, has been living with the family OF
Mr.. Surplass, and yesterday NOR ming early
he applied to Surplass for tome gin, as he
felt cold. Surplass went into the store and
got the gin, when bis attention was called
by the child calling fof drink of water
Instead Of giving the water to the child, he,
by mistake, gave him about gill of gin,
which the child drank. As soon as the mis-
take was discovered, DR.. Blannerhasset was
called in, who administered to the child, but
1t died about II O'Clock. The father states
that in consequence of having been up for
some nights in attendance upon sick sis
ter, he was so confused that he did not know
what he was doing. The Coroner was not
notified, as DR.. Blannerhassst had attended
the child, and an inquest was not deemed
necessary Y. Tribune. leg IN,

Gold Gold! Gold!

The golden fever rages in Kansas and Ne.
braska. The people Of those territories are
really excited on the topic. II their mines
were as full of gold as their papers, they
would be rich beyond calculation. That
gold has been discovered in the Pike Peak
region is unquestionable, but the reports
from these mines have been so various and
go contradictory that hardly any reliance can
be put upon any statement. Yet company
after company is leaving for the land of pro.
mise, to the happy region where the "root
Of all evil" can be picked and spaded out OF
the earth--where $40, $l5. and $40 per day
can be made by jolly hard work and sturdy
endurance. Over six hundred wagons bound
for Pixies Peak, and Cherry Creek, were
passed by the overland mail wagons, be.
tween Kearney and the crossing Of Platte
River.
The Frazer River gold mines hive proved
to be grand humbugs. The news by the
last steamer from California informs us that
thousands of miners who left California for
the Frazer River regions had returned, curs-
Jag their foOlishness for being humbugged
into taking trip to the British Possessions.
This is truly the age, and ours is certain
ly the land Of gold. The discoveries of gold
in different parts of our country has rapidly
increased its population, and deyeloped all
the resources OF the regions where it has
been found. Gold ia very good thing to
have in the country, as we'll "as in the ia
mily." .
