dead some two months since, being found,
on opening the coffin, to be lying on her
side with one hand under her head. From
this it was evident the woman was alive
when placed there, and awaking from the
trance into which she had fallen, endeav ored
to extricate herself from her entombmsnt,
This of course, was an impossibility the

but the space was too contracted to allow 81
even an effort. 1t was evidently, however.
that the::unfortunate woman became convinc.
ed of this fact and concluded to die. She
therefore took an easy posture in which she
was found, and brsathed her last. The
thought that they had buried her while vet
alive, set her friends almost crazed. The
body was that Of woman who formerly
resided in the Bowery. The father and mo-
ther Of the deceased had Just arrived from
the old country last week, and were brought
to the vault to see their child. The scene
is related as heart-rsnding. This is another
instance Of too hasty burial.

FORT xEARxKY FILLED WITH BEGGAas!

Lyaehiss Of LetterWrttes..
In Carr, NEBRASKA CITr, N. T.
April 2Sth, 1859.
DEAR DIcK In the wake of the
favorable intelligence which have
heretofore reported now comes news of
a most discouraging character. Two
men, Messrs. McCandlass and Travioli,
Of Taylor county, Iowa, who left this
city some five weeks since, returned
last evening, having proceeded ouly as
far IS Fort Kearney. They state that
the Fort and the immediate vicinity il
filled with persons who have returned
from the mines, and are begging their
way home, from emigrants. These
returned miners state that the "gold in
the mountains" regarding which so
mauy expectations have been INDUCED,
is total failure, and that the Cherry
Creek gold mines are most unmiti-
gated humbug. The two men of whom
| have spoken, also state that on the
day before they left Fort Kearney,
Major Morris, the commander at that
station, received letter from Cherry
Creek, to the effect that tuo men wAo
had been prominent as Letter. ,oriters
during the acinter, had been hung by a
party Of exasperated emigrants whom
they had humbugged. They represent
that there has been an immense
amount Of suffering upon the road,
and that in instances, persons who
have started out poor for the mines,
bave persisted from cold, and in some
cases, of actual starvation.
These statements / give you for
what they arc worth, it being impos-
sIble, from the contradictory character
Of the advices, for me to determine
anything regarding the matter. The
persons who brought the intelligence
to be far and candid men,
and their statements have created
quite an impression among the many
who are camped in
town. We shall not of course turn
back unless something certain is OBJ
tanned. We will leave in company
with DR., Cole, Oldweiler, DR.. MINER,
living, Broomfield, Thorington, Cen
ter and large number Of other per-
sons from Davenport.

scretions, and dishonest acts commit
ted; and now We find our present
Republican State Superintendent pre-
e'sely in the same business which the
Republicans claim that DR.. Eads was
engaged in-withholding the Public
funds.
The above article shows very plainly
how easy it is for the Black Republi-
can office holders to trump up preten-
ces fov holding back money due to the
citizens of Iowa, for tho purpose Of
slipping the same into their own pock-
cts. 1t is but another OF those artful
lodges which have been and are still
being practiced by the Republican
State officials.
We concur with the Plaindedier in
the hope that the democratic editors
At the State Capital will take pains to
investigate the matter, and let the peo-
pie know what has become of the
money which now lies in the hands or
in the pockets Of Mr.. Cattell, and
which now belongs to them. Let this
matter be fairly and squarely brought
before the people Of Iowa and let them
decide whether or not they want such
pilfering of Office holders in charge
of the affairs of the state or not.
Above we mentioned the name Of
DR.. Eads. We would say that he
has at last succeeded in getting the
State Attorney to commence legal &C
ton against him, in the matter of his
alleged unfair disposal of the School
funds in his charge when State Super

been branded by the opposition, we

State Attorney has been

HOME LIFE.-Here are some very
judicious remarks on a much needed
reform in this country
The homes of America will not be-
come what they should be until a true
idea of life shall become more widely
implanted. The worship Of the dollar
does more to degrade American homes,
and the life of those homes, than any
thing-than all things Utility
is the god of almost universal wor-
ship. The chief end of life is to gath
er gold, and that gold is counted lost
which hangs a picture upon thc..wsli,
which purchase flowers for the yard,
which buys toy or book for the
eager hand of childhood. Is this the
whole of human life 4! Then it is a
mean, meagre and most undesirable
thing. A child will go forth from
such home as horse will 60 from
stall-glad to find fresh air and a
wider pasturage. The influence of
such home upon him in after-life will
be none at all, or nothing good. They
crowd into cities. They crowd into
villages. They swarm into all places
where life is crowed with higher sig
nificance and the old shell of home is
deserted by every bird as soon as it
can fly. Ancestral homesteads and
patrimonial acres have no sacredncss,
and when the father and mother die,
the strangers presence obliterates as
soclstions that should be among the
most sacred Of all things.
81 would have you build up for your
selves and for your children a home
which will never be lightly parted
with-a home which shall lie to I'll
whose lives have been associated with
it, the most interesting and precious
spot upon earth. l would have it a
home the abode of dignity, propriety,
beauty, grace, love, genial fellowships
and happy associations. Out from such
home l would have good influences
flow into neighborhoods aud communi-
ties. In such home would see no.
BILE ambition taking root and receiving
all generous culture. And then
would see you, young wife, and young
husband happy. Do not deprive your
self of such influences as will come to
you through an institution like this
No money can pay you for such a de-
privation. No circumstances but those
Of utter poverty can justify you in de-
nying these influences to your child
rem.
