high price.

The Vaults Of st. Sepulchre, in London
Remarkable reservation of Corpse.

a correspondent of the New York Evangelist.
now IN London, gives the following curious nara.
tive oi his visit to the vaults OF the Church of St.
Scpulchre, IN that city:
n strange sight was recently disclosed to me in

res OF great burial vaults, where intermcuts
have been made for many hundred years. Tho
sexton told me 1t was estimated there were
lou collins now entire under tho building

truth.
The atmosphere Of the vaults seems to have n
remark able effect i'll preserving tho collins, if not
the bodies, from decay. Descending through an
iron door from the church tho other day, Wa en-
tered very large apartment, but dimly lighted,
there piles of mouldy, black looking collins wore
piled upon eacn other. These cnihns with all
their elegant and costly trimmings. had not vet
been Jecomposed. Climbing up over IL heap of

out "f 1t took an entire female figure in remar-
kable state OF preservation. The limbs were I'M
broken, and the body perfect except the flesh
shrnnken, yet it was sull soft and flexible to the
touch
The sexton stated that the officers of the church

barials there had long since ceased, they designed

been taking u careful survey oI the premises. ind

known to but few persons and before this reaches
you the entrance to it will be closed to all further

Why happened to haze the privilege of seeing
this strange sight extended to me, was rather Gu

Cost Of Fpel ON Railroads.

The last number Of the American Railway
Times ssys that the Railways of Massachusetts
have paid "a million Of dollars per annum for
fsa expasses for about tie same mileage The En-
hsh RaaUays pay about one third Of hat sum"
This difference, Of six hundred and sixty
thousand dollars, would pay interest eleven
million Of dollars; very nearly rs much as the
whole capital invested in great line Of railway
from Norfolk to Bristol. We invite the attention
of our Railroad officials of this entire line TO this
statement Of The Times" 1t surely demands
their consideration. as well rs that Of the Board
OF Public Works. and every individual and corpo-
rate share holder in the several corporations own
ing this great national thoroughfare.
Massachusetts has twelve hundred and eighty.
five miles Of Railway; Virginia fifteen hundred
and ffty-oight. Would it not be well for tho
Stockholders in nl the roads Of Virginia to require
that the accounts of our companies should be 40
kept - TO enable them to ascertain with accuracy,
what the fuel expenses of each and every loco
motive they employ. Fuel must surely be rs cheap
in Virginia "a in England. Many of our roads
penetrate extensive coal fields. aud if il bc that
the great disparity in fuel expenses arises from
the use Of wood instead Of conl, is very proba-
bly, the fact. it should be known, and the coal
burning engine introduced without delay.
