STATISTICS OF MrsCEGENATIoN
There we're All, l,6I2 muIatto slaves in
the South in 1860. OF whom 69,979
were in Virginia, 1921 in Kentucky,
and $4,000 in Georgia. These numbers
are considerably beyond the legitimate
proportion of those States. There were
also 176,739 free mulattoes in the United
States in 1860, of whom 106,770 belong
ed to the South, and $1,000 10 the free
States. OF the free mulattoes Virginia
contained 23,4S5, which number, added
TO her slave mulattoes, makes a total of
miscegenated population of 93,824. Her
slaves alone exceed the total number of
muatoes, slave and free, in the Union, in
1860, was 5SS,352, of whom 69,969
belong to the free States and 519,3S3 to
the slave States number greater than
the combined white population of Ar
kansas, Delaware and Florida, greater
than the white population of Maryland,
almost twice as great os that of South
Carolina, and twice as great as the com
bined populations Of Delaware and Flor

alone exceeds the number Of whites in
Delaware of Florida.

MINING ITEMs.-We learn that w.
s. Hunter has sold the celebrated Grass
Brook Gold Diggings,' Hatley, to parties
from New York. These dggings have
been more visited and tested than any
other in the new gold fields, and have
uniformly yielded "paying" amounts for
even the rudest style of "panniug.' Re-
ports say the price is 100000, one-ffh
of which was paid down. The pur-
chasars will soon commence operations
for developing the wealth of their claim.
We congratulate our townsmen on his
good fortune.
The "gold fever" RACES hotter as the
season advances, and searching for the
precious metal is zealously pursued.
Gold has been found in DudswelI and
South Ham, where the "Wolf Mining
Company" have bonded large quantity
Of land. Report says they have been
offered $4,000 for one-third OF claim
in South Ham.
Gold has likewise been discovered in
Windsor.
The stock Of the Ascot Mining and
Smelling Company has been introduced
in the Boston market. The working
capital Of $50. 900 has been secured.
The mining interest in the Eastern
Townships promises to be very large
one, and will bring good deal Of capi-
tai into the Province if its influx is not
impeded by bad legislation. .-Sanstsad

Attitude of the Slain.

A prominent officer attached to the
ambulance corps OF the French army in
Italy, DR.. Armand, has published the re-
suit of some curious and interesting OBJ
servations made by himself and others
upon the battle fields of the late Napole-
onic war with Austria. The position
which the bodies of the slain assume,
under the effect of mortal wounds pro
duced by different missiles of death, and
the effect of such wounds in various
parts OF the body upon the expression of
the features, as well as upon the general
attitude, were the subjects of the some
what novel Investigations, which might
have been pursued on a grand scale in
this country for the past two years.
In number Of cases the dead soldier
was found almost in the speaking attitude
of life. A Hungarian hussar, killed at
the same moment with his horse, was
only slightly moved in his saddle, and
sat there dead. holding the point of his
sabre in advance, in the position Of
charging. A parallel case occurred in
the death Of an Austrian artilleryman.
Those wounded in the head, it was re
marked generally fell with the face and
abdomen fat to the ground. Wounds in
the chest and heart produced like pos
ture of the body, though in the latter
case notifications of the position and
expression more frequently took place
than in the former. A Zouavc struck
full in the chest was doubled upon his
musket as if in position to charge bayo-
net, his face full of energy, with an atti-
tude more menacng than that of lion.
In wounds of the abdomen the agony
seemed to have been prolonged the
face was counteracted, the hands crossed
and closed upon the stomach, the body
doubled upon itself and lying partially
on the side.
But the report Of DR.. Armand, after
all contains 10 cases so remarkable as
two upon one Of own battle-felds-that.oi
Shiloh. On that bloody field, when the
carnage was over, soldier was found
standing, his legs somewhat apart, and
his arms thrown convulsively outward
his posture that Of living man, agita'
ted, perhaps by strong emotion he
was nevertheless stone dead, ghastly
monument of seeming life alongside the
hecatomb of fallen corpses. Another body
lay partially Frustrated on one side, The
right, and o lding TO the mouth q
piece of cheese, which the set teeth
we're almost in the act of grasping. Ly.
ing upon the back with the arms exten
ded, and the knees drawn up towards
the face, was n posture frequently to b'
observed, on this as we'll as other fields
The living attitude of the dead soldier
still standing upon his feet, and the grin
mockery Of life iq the apparent offer o
food TO corpse, are hardly surpassed BY
any reported incident of war. The fscti
are derived from an officer who witness
ed the unequal spectacle.-JoVnal D

FATAL ACCIDENT In CABoT.-We
regret to learn that on Wednesday, while
Henry Durgan and small boy were
crossing Molly's Pond, in Cabot, the
boat was capsized and both we're drown
ed. No one saw the accident. They
crossed for the purpose of procuring
trees to plant, and the probabilities are
that the wind and trees upset the boat.
Durgau was good swimmer, and doubt
less lost his life in bis endeavors to save
his young companion. He was about 20
years old, much beloved and respected
