. MAN HANGING
Yours truly
p. C. WILSON.

A MAN HANGING HIMSELF TO A CoRPsE.
At Il late hour last night, we learned the
following details of q most singular affair,
which occurred near Cummiusville, some
four or five miles from this city, on Satu--
day night. IL appears that a person, whose
name was not given US, entered the burying
ground at that place; and removed a dead
body from a grave, which he placed in a
sack. In making his exit from the yard, il
was necessary to scale a high board fence,
which the ressurreciionis evidently found
difficulty in accomplishing with the burden
with which he was encountered. In order,
therefore, to give him free use of his hands
and arms, he placed the cord attached to the
mouth of the sack, around his shoulder, and
climbed to the top Of the fence, when be
must have. fallen off, leaving the corpse on
the opposite side. The result was, that
the cord was drawn up around his neck, and
he was found dead yesterday morning hav-
ing been choked to death By he height of the
on he opposite Side Of the fence.
The story seems an incredible one, but
we are Informed that, startling as il is, it is
nevertheless true.--CiH. Gds.

Pixies PEAK.-Mr. Wesley Spear, Of
Wooster, Ohio, now at Pixies Peak, writes
to his brother in Wooster a letter which is
published il: the Wooster Republican,, the
editor OF which paper fully endorses the res.
probability and reliability OF the writer. His
letter is dated the 4th of January last. He
writes thus:
: 81 would like to know what the excitement
is with you about this country and the Gold.
From what | have heard | suppose it is great,
but | cSn tell you if there is not more Gold
found in the spring than there is now, il will
not pay to stay here. | have been out pros
pecting and hunting UiM an old CaLiforniGn
nearly all the time since | have been here.
1t Is true the color can be had by digging
any place, but it is float gold and very scarce.
1t will not pay for working but I think there
will be places found in the spring, up in the
mountains, that will pay big. The moun-
tains as yet have not been prosPected, for
we cannot work there in the winter. The
v%alIies have all been dug up, but not enough
gold is found to pay. There are six or
eight hundred persons here now, and still
more coming. Now If you are aching to
come out here, just hold your horses and do
not believe all the reports you hear. for
there are lots of tocnS spriRgtHg up here,
and anything will be written back to get
folks ont here. II there is net more gold
found next summer than there is row, I am
coming back, or going some place else. I
will quit writing a moment. and go Out to
hole | have sunk, and wash out q pan and
send you the gold, SO that you can see what
il looks like, and how much we get out of
a pan.-Well, l am back again, and have
washed out tro pans and have got about
tCetUe and a half cents, which ] will send TO
you. Now there are places where we can
not get more than two Of these small specks
in u pan, and other places where we can got
more than | send you out of one pan bot il
does not pay a person. \ sCoHd 0Svfse alI
friends of mine noi to come here until soHss-
thing better is found"
Mr.. ]. H. Snyder, formerly Of Stark Coun.
ty, writes from Pixies Peak, and an extract
from his letter is published in the last Stark
County Republican. He says:
SNOW | hope your friends and neighbors
will not throw themselves into the crater OF
Kansas gold speculations headlong, and
never seek to learn anything more than that
there is gold at Pixies Peak. 1t they will
look around and count up the number of
Californiuns who returned and made a for
tune by the trip, they can readily guess that
not all who so to the diggings and return,
bring back as much as they TAX AWAY, and
not more than one halt make more than fifty
cents per day, i G., one half Of ali that 90
and return make an average of about fifty
cents a day from the time of leaving TO that
OF returning, and one-third make less than
twenty five cents per day"

New Hampshire on Tuesday. The returns
show that the Republicans have swept the

which a few years since was so thoroughly
