The Staunton Suicide:

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-On Thurs
day afternoon last MI. Richard w. Bush
nell. of Washington. arrived at this place
and took lodgings at the American Hotel.
During the afternoon he had an iuterview
with Doctor S;ribing. the superinten-
dent of the Western Lunatic Asylum, in
which he stated that his object in coming
to Staunton was to place himself under
the Doctors care that mysterious int1u.
ences were surrounding him, his food and
drinks having been drugged wherever he
stopped. He gave unmista&able eyiden-
ces Of deranged intellect, and made an
appointment to meet DR.. Stribling the
mex morning when he proposed to enter
into details in regard to the condition of
his health, and expressed the hope that
the seclusion Of the asy lum and the med.
ical treatment of Dr.. Stribling would af-
ford him relief.
On Friday morning, about O'Clock a
boardcr who occupied the room adjoining
Mr.. 8ushnell's heard the report OF a pis-
toll. Information was Immediately given
to the proprietor Of the hotel, who forced
open the door, and found Mr.. Bushnell
lying on the floor. shot in the head,
bleeding quite profusely. and portion Of
his brains, scattered on the floor. The ball
had entered little above and behind the
RICH! ear and lodged somewhere in the
front part of the head. A FIVE shooter
was lying on the floor beside him. Upon
inquiry he was found to be conscious
1t was supposed that he would not live
during the day. but marvellous to say,
he is still alive. with good pulse aud no
fever; and states that he feels pretty
we'll with the exception ola headache.-
Physicians, however. entertain no hope
for his recovery. He has admitted that
be shot himself and expressed regrets,
but stated that the impulse was lone Of
those involuntary passages of electricity
which it was impossible to resist" He

glnla some eighteen or twenty years ago

The Asylum Location.

AS some anonymous publications have
been made and some unfouuded reports
put in circulation with regard to the site
selected by the Commissioners, for the
location of the new Asylum. since our ar
rival here, we have visited the grounds,
and made a thorough examination with
reference to the objections raised, and it
is due to truth and justice to state that.
so far as the question Of water is con.
cerned. we believe the supply to be am
pie, and base that belief upon the fact
that Of three springs not too far apart to
be united in one. there was good flow
of water, and this after a most unprece>
denied drought in this section of the
State. We measured the depth Of one
of the springs-a very bold one-and
found the depth to be about eighteen in
cAes. One of the others had afforded
and still affords sufficient water for large
number of stock. Besides these, there
are two other springs, at not inconVen.
lent distance from the others, which fur
nlsh good supply Of water, so that
within range of half n mile, there are
five bold springs, all. we believe, on the
Asylum grounds, and which cannot fail
to furnish an abundant supply Of pure
aud wholesome water when thrown into
a common reservoir. Added 10 this, the
grounds selected for the site is washed on
one side by the Monongahela river, and
on another by Polk, Greek. Two streams
which have never yet gone dry, and we
incline to think will last as long as Asy-
lums ara wanted. This location has been
visited by two or three scientific gentle>
men, all of whom concur in the opinion
that the selection is most fortunate, and
one Of these gentlemen expressed will
| lingness to enter into bonds TO furnish
the new Asylum with abundant water at
half the. cost at. which the Asylum at
S,aunton was furnished--so that on the
score of water The public may rest assu>
red the. supply is ample and abundant,
and water can be thrown l03 feet above
the level Of the spot where the buildings
would stand.
With regard to the fertility Of the soil
we do not profess to be skilled, but we
counted eighteen stacks of hay. which
would weigh 2 tons each, the produce OF
some eight or nine acres, cut this season,
and judging from that and other eviden>
ces OF fertility, we come 10 the conclusion
that the soil must be good. With refer
ence to fuel, the supply of coal is mex
haustible. veins Old and feet in depth
underlying much of the high land. This
fact, of itself, added to the undoubted
truth that an abundant supply of water
can be obtained, ought to convince the
most sceptical that the location is good
one and that the Commissioners acted
wisely in making the selection.
For the correctness Of the statements
here made we make no pledges but know
that the most rigid examination is not
only invited but courted, and We have
only referred to the subject in order TO
correct the Misrepresentation that have
been made and to vindicate the character
of the Commissioners which has been as

unworthy motives Weston Herald.

THE GERMAN Press ON THE AUsrR1A's
CAFrAIN.-The German newspapers OF
New York contrast in striking manner
the wan: Of order and discipline on the
Austria with that OF several Of the Anne.
rican steamers lost at sea. The Abind>
Zeitung says:
When the Arctic and the Central Anne
RIGA went down, the mind found, in the
midst OF so much that was terrific and
horrible, circumstances which left an. ell.
evated observation-disclosures Of self COM
mand. of heroic courage. OF fidelity to du-
ty, and cheerful sacrifice. 1t was not so
in the case of the Austria. A chaotic
confusion and desperation filed the brief
interval in which the fate Of FIVE hundred
human beings was decided. No order.
ing and loading hand. no plan of rescue,
such as distinguished the never to be for
gotten Captain. Herndon. executed with
untiinching courage and calmness; all W as
wild and mad, crowding hither and thith.

Capt. Heydtman is dead we'll for him
that he is so, By his death he has paid
heavy debt. For-this is the most
painful part of the catastrophe-the dis.
aster was incurred by the most criminal
negligence. and after it was incurred
there were either no means Of rescue pro.
Vlded beforehand or. if provided, the men
who had charge of them were utterly in
competent.

The BURNING OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE
No SAFETY IN 1RoN.-One of the chief
arguments that has been used in favor OF
iron buildings and iron ships is their pre-
sumed immunity from the dangers of fire.
Within the past FIVE years numerous pub
lie and private edi6ces have been built
entirely Of iron-the London Crystal
Palace giving the idea grand start
Our Crystal palace. like the edi6ce now
located at Sydenham. was constructed of
the supposed incombustibIe materials,
glass and iron, and no one ever supposed
that 10 forty minutes it could have been
burned to the ground. The iron ships
tare no better. as we have seen in the case
of the Austria. 1t was supposed iron
bulls would resist the action OF FIRE but
the Arabia reports that the Austria's
sides we're falling to pieces and the pro
gress of the FIRE seems TO have been as
rapid. both at the Palace and on board
the ship, as in wooden buildings or yes
sells, while the heat emitted from the fer
ruglnous material was, Of course, ,infnits>
~ greater. These examples would seem
to show that the fancied security of iron
is TO be exploded. Like other lessons in
the school of experience we have to. paw
very dearly for this.-Ns,O York Herald.
