STRANGE RY.-rhe Morksvillo, (Avoy-

following;
"Somo two nights since death occurred
in certain portion Of our parish, which wa
brought about in strange manner. A gem
teman living unhappily with his wife some
few months since committed suicide. This so
affected her that she often Of morning de-
elarcd the ghost Of the decease ed had haunted
her during the night. Finally, ono day she
affirmed the devil had appeared to her, and
after upbraiding her stated that hereafter
when she would attempt to cat or drink, her
food and water would choke her. And strange
to say. whenever she took any nourishment
or drank anything she was invariably choked
This continued for twenty-seyon days, when
she died from pure starvation These facts
we have from gentleman of undoubted We

ERUPrroN or MoUNr NEsUvus.-let-
ters from Naples Of May 81 and June |, give
exciting description Of new and brilliant
volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius, which
commenced on the 26th, and at the last date
was increasing in power and beauty. The
discharge Of burning lava reached its height
on Sunday night, (30th) when four great
streams of flowing fire were pouring down
the sides Of the mountain. We quote from
one Of the accounts ;-
The spectacle was peculiarly grand and i'm
posing. The lava was poured in increased
quantities along the streams already estab-
lished. and being in high state of incandes-
once. At about o'clock an immense tor
rent of lava broke over the ridge which con-
fines the basin of craters, in the direction Of
the Somma it flowed down the declivity Of
the Somma as an immense torrent Of liquid
fire. and with such extraordinary rapidity
that in less than an hour it had descended
through a considerable portion Of the noun
tain. Its progress was then retarded, partly
by the diminished steepness Of the ground,
and partly bv transverse ravines, which must
be filled before the fluid can advance. Moth
ing could exceed the spendor Of this torrent
of liquid fire, forming the fourth principle
hAithln Oh AdNh bAl ANt NlhSN NANAnhi NAii"i
burst Of splondor which has been presented
since the commencement of the eruption took
place soon after nine o'clock when all the
mouths seemed TO be simultaneously called
into violent action. and to vomit forth such
torrents of lava, that the entire mountain
seemed one blaze Of fire the varied colors
produced in different parts, owing probably
in part 20 reflection. presented beautiful and
striking appearance. The lurid light diiiused
from this enormous burning mass, rendered
visible the subjacent country, the towns, the
coast and bay.
On each night several thousands Of persons
Of all ranks, from the peer to the peasant, ur-
ged by curiosity repaired to the scene Of this
extraordinary spectacle. The darkness being
complete, and the route in many places diff
cult, each party is furnished with a torch and
the view Of the hundreds Of torches fitting
about between the streams of lava is curious
presenting the appearance of multitudos Of
frc-fics. The Hermitage, which is close to the
great basin Of craters and rivers of lava is
approached by tolorably good carriage road
and as may be supposed, hundreds ofvchicles
of every description, from the coierhe OF the
millionaire TO the humble corico'o arc collect
ed there towards midnight. Donkey parties
abound of which ladies do not fear to iorm a
part.
Part of the extraordinary splendor Of the
spectacle on Sunday night was due to the
burning Of the forests, over which the lava
passed The Ncapoiitans congratulate them
selves on the circmns tanco Of the lava having
been directed into SO many different streams :;
for if. as in former erupuons, it had all been
thrown into ono channel the destruction
which must have cusued, would have been
tremendous.

AWARD OF MEDAL AT THE UNI
VERSITY,

We learn that the Jefferson and Wash.
ngton society Of the University of Virgin.
ia, by whom the 'Virginia University
Magazine" is conducted, have this session
instituted, as stimulus to literary exertion
among the students, a custom of presenting
annually gold medal to the author Of the
best contribution during the session to the
columns of the Magazine This medal is
offered only to contributors who are stu
dents, but to all of them alike; membership
in either of the societies being unnecessary
to enable one to compete for it. It is a.
warded by committee composed of Pro
fessors Minor, McGufiey, and Holmes, who
are nominated by and act as agents Of the
societies. and is publicly presented at the
close Of the session to the successful compe-
titor.
This honor, for the session 1888.
Gas just been adjudged to Mr.. John John
son, of Charleston, S. G. as the author OF
an article entitled ''Drudgery and Leisure,
as Social Conditions" which appeared in
the June number of the magazine.

Cuba.-The London Times has a long
article specializing on the probabilities Of
Cuba falling into the hands of the United
States and England's interest in the event.
+, One paragraph is this:
What is Spain to us that we should inter-
fere further to protect her colonial posses
sions The only arguments which we are
disposed to consider, after the treatment we
have met with from successive Cabinets at
Madrid, are those which apply to our own
interest and we'll being. Looking at the
question from this point of view, two argu-
ments might be urged, but there is proba-
bly, no great weight in either. It might be
said, in the first place, that it would be
short-sighted policy in us to stimulate the
progress Of the United States in wealth and
power, for the time may come when they
will prove formidable antagonists to our
selves. This is but a paltry policy after all;
for, whatever we may do, the vast Confede-
ration on the other side of the Atlantic will
60 on increasing in strength and in extent
Of dominion.

lNorphy at st. Georges Chess Club. -
Mr. Morphy, who arrived out by the Afri-
ca, quietly walked into the St. Georges
Chess Club, one night last week, and after
beating MIR. Lewen, who is a recognized
champion, with the greatest ease, offered a
challenge to Mr.. Staunton, the British
Ceur de Lion Ct the noble game. Mr..
Staunton accepted the proposition, sat down
went tc work, almost cleared the board in
some twenty moves, and was about with
drawing, in contempt, when he was arrest
ed by 'check," which, in three moves
more, grew into "mate." Y6u may i'm
agine the CONSERVATION of the hero and the
lockers on. "May ask your name, sir?''
said Mr.. s.. Certainly, SIR" replied his
young antagonist. My name is Morphy.'
"Oh of America p Eyes, sir p ''Ah!
then am sorry, but am not quite IN play
just now. should rather not risk another
game at present " The event has excited
quite as great sensation in the world Of
chess as was bred in the world Of yachts
men by the victory of the America and
Mr.. Morphy has made up match with An
derson, the Hungarian, upon which all En-
gland that playeth chess, will of course be
vehemently betting in the course of a fort
night. You may regard this as set off,
perhaps, against the defeat Of Mr.. Ten
Broeck's horses though, it should be re-
membered, that the battle there is not Civ

CE 1t IS rumored that our government
has entered into correspondence with
Spain concerning the acquisition Of Cuba.
We know not and can only hope that this is
true. From the tone of an article which
appeared recently in the London Times, it
is evident that the sentiment Of one party
that Of which the Times is tho mouth
piece or rather leader-has suffered total
revulsion concerning the wisdom Of the pol
icy Of interference between the U. States
and Spain, which England has always here
tofors pursued If the acquisition of Cuba
is really contemplated by our government.
we see nothing to prevent a happy result,
since it is to be hoped that the protectorate
over Spain will be withdrawn by England,
which has ever been the only drawback
we blush in admitting ito the purchase
Of Cuba by us.

THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY,
AND THE GOLD DIGGINGS ON
FRAZER RIVER.
From, the New York Eupress
WASHINGTON, July Is. 1858.

WASHINGTON, July rs, 1853.
Our government begins to realize the I'M
portance Of questions heretofore thought but
little Of, relating to the rights and claims
Of the Hudson's Bay Company on the Pa
ci6c side of the continent.
Unless wise and liberal policy be pur-
sued by the British with regard to miners
in the Frazer river country, there may be
collisions that would lead to international
difficulties. The American miners will soon
learn, if they have not already, that neither
Gov Douglas nor the Hudson's Bay Com
pany have any authority over mines on this
continent. The colonial Governor Of Van
couver's Island (Douglas) has no authority
beyond what his commission confers. He
has no right Of jurisdiction, and has never
claimed it before, over the main land OF
any other territory than Vancouver's Is
land, in the capacity Of Governor, and ex-
.cept as chief factor Of the Hudson's Bay
Company. Neither the Company nor he,
as its chief factor, have any right under
their charter except the right or priv
ilege Of trading with the indians. They
have no possessory right over the mines,
or approaches to mines. and therefore the
imposition Of taxes or license fees by either
Governor Douglas or the Company is a
usurpation of authority. All mines belong
to the crown of England; but it has been
decided by British authorities in Australia
that "placers" are not mines; in the
meaning Of the enactment ceding all
mines to the crown, that gold washing
and working for gold on the surface is not
mining.

THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.

A Washington correspondent of the Bal
simore Sun furnishes that paper with the
following:
The proper officers at the Capitol, charged
by law with the duty Of making an exhibit
Of the amount Of annual appropriation BY
Congress, report those Of the last session as
follows: Definite, Exclusive Of what is for
loans or treasury notes. 1900, 900; in
definite appropriations, ESTIMATED, J g.
100000; total, 1874, 100000 It is prop
er to say that, heretofore it had not been
customary to make appropriations for the
post-ohice service, other than for the balance
between receipts and expenditures but at
this session, the plan has been inaugurated
Of appropriat!ng for the whole expenditure
Of postal service. The whole expenditure
for the present year is ST., 100000; the
estimating receipts $4,000 900. De
Quoting the receipts from the total of $751;
100000, we have $72,300,0O0 as the
expenditures Of the fiscal year, calculated
as they have been under past admins
trations.
