the acts of 1854, 1858 and 1860, and
cannot in any' sense be considered acts
under which the bonds were authorized
to be issued I therefore conclude that
it is your duty to issue bonds Tor the
commons past due on these classes.
Further, am of opinion, that the bonds
issued in pursuance of an ordinance OF
the Convention. ratified June 29th, 1 S6l,
for the benefit of the Chatham Railroad
Company. are not embraced in the de-
scription of bonds intended by the act
of Assembly ratified March 10th, 1866
You ask, secondly, "what is the duty
of the Public Treasurer in deciding as
to the identity of the coupons ?" As
no rule has been provided by which you
are to identify the coupons, and as they
are similar in all respects to the cou-
pons of bonds issued under acts'and or
dinance passed after goth May, 1861, I
thinh it will be safe for you to fund only
-those that are taken from the bonds in
your presence.
Thirdly, you call my attention to an
ordinance of the Convention declaring
what laws and ordinances are in force,
and for other purposes, and to the Act
Of Assembly ratified March 18th, 1866,
establishing scale of depreciation, and
ask my opinion whether the coupons
ale to be scaled.
Looking at the history of the bill,
which 1 think, is proper to be consid-
cred in giving construction to it, [
am of the opinion, that the coupons can
not be scaled. The bill ratified March
10th, 1866, was introduced, and passed
the House of Commons in December,
1865, and the preamble refers to the
report of the late Treasurer, Jonathan
Worth, in which he places the four clas-
ses above spoken of upon the same foot
ing precisely as the old skies. 1t re-
cites the estimates of the late Treasu-
rer, including the four classes ofcoupons
and the coupons of the old skies, and
then makes provisions for the funding
of all, without any direction as to the
scaling of any.

Attorney General

TWO MEN SUFFOCATED IN
BURNING WELL.

The vicinity of the village of Leslie
Vile, on the Kingston road, was the
sence of intense excitement yesterday
morning, occasioned by the suffocation
of two human beings in a well, and the
that a Mr.. Brockwell, residing in the
locality, had we'll on his land which
had run dry during the winter by the
stopping of spring in the bottom OF
the well, which gushed through a rock
AS, therefore, there were but two or
three feet of water in the well, which
was fortv-two feet deep, a man named
Sears was hired to drill the rock, and
thus open the spring. Operations were
commenced early yesterday morning,
and Mr.. Sears at once proceeded to drill.
the rock.
Mr. Sears had been working with the
drill for considerable time, when, the
men not hearing from him, Mr.. Brock
we'll also went down; and, as he also
did not show signs of moving, after
lapse of time, third man was let down,
but had only been lowered a few feet
when he cried out, asking to be drawn
up, as he was suffocating. By this time
the whole inside of the we'll was a cloud
of smoke, and the rushing of water
could be distinctly heard, while a strong
smell of gas prevailed around the mouth
of the well. Persons who were about
it were startled, and for a moment could
hardly make out the fearful state Of af-
fairs. A candle was then sent for, to
enable them to see into the well but
while they were striking match with
in few feet Of the well, the gas took
fire, and instantly the we'll was in flames.
which spurted out eight or ten feet into
the air. 1t continued to run in this man
ner for about three hours, without any
intermission.
The well was then covered with
planks and manure to try and eXtinguish
the flames, but with no effect. Finally
Il bag of salt was poured in, and the
flames ceased. On inspection it was
found that the we'll was nearly filled
with water, although few hours be-
fore it was almost dry. Graphing irons
were procured, and in short time the
The Court street steamer had previously
to this been sent for, but the flames had
been extinguished when it arrived
During this time the water and gas had
been bursting from the well, and the
water bailed continuously all yesterday
afternoon. An inquest was held on the
bodies, and verdict to the effect that
they died from inhaling poisonous gas
ses, returned. Sears and Brockwell
have wives and families to mourn their
untimely end.-I0rOaeto Globe.

SINGULAR SToRY.-An Ohio pa

SINGULAR SToRY.-An Ohio paper
tells the following rather singular story ::
Four days after the rebels fired on
Fort Sumter, son of Mrs. Duncan, of
Mecca, Ohio, enlisted for the war. He
joined a Western regiment, and after
being in several battles, was reported
killed at the battle Of Stone River
His body was brought home and in
tered. Afterwards intelligence was
brought to the parents by returned
Union prisoners, that their son was not
dead, but in rebel prison in Georgia
Other prisoners returning from there
last spring, brought the sad news of his
death to the sorely distressed family
When the war closed an opportunity
was offered to penetrate the rebel lines.
Mr.. Duncan sent down and had his son
brought home again and buried. Hav-
ing had him buried twice, as was sup
posed, it was natural that they should be
reconciled to their loss, but few days
ago their son Bob, in spite of wounds,
and deaths, and funerals, came "march-
ing home" and is now enjoying the
hospitality Of the parental roof.

SIR:-Your letter OF this date, sub

arising out of what is called the Fund
ing Act passed at the late session of the
General Assembly, is at hand.
After stating the substance of the
various acts and ordinances classifying
the bonds, you ask: "Is either, or are
all, of the above classes included in the
foregoing description Of bonds issued
under acts passed before May goth,
1922
am of opinion that the first, second,
third and fourth classes mentioned by
you, were issued under acts passed prior
to May Goth, 1861. The resolution of
General Assembly, ratified 18th Sept.
1861, and August oath, 1861, and the
ordinance of June 2sth, 1861, were

The fine and spacious United States Military
Asylum buildings were also destroyed. These
were built and decorated By DR.. Graham for the
guests who once frequented his mineral springs by
thousands, for this was once the most fashionable
and popular watering place west of the Alegha-
nies Though weeds are growing over the min
gled heaps of ashes and masonry, the shrubbery
planted by the tasteful proprietor fourishes in as
great luxnriance as ever, lacking only the fine
fruits that once graced the table, and the multi
tude of flowers with which the great gardens were
filed. The grounds measure more than 200 acres,
of which about twenty-five acres are thickly
planted with all manner of forest trees, and in
closed within stone wall. Another wall around
the balance ID also in process Of construction.

ernment, but is now applied to no use. 1t would

Within the inner inclosure were buried the re-
mains of about forty Confederate soldiers who
died in the Harrodsburg hospital, from wounds
received at the battle of Perryville. Their graves
are now overgrown with weeds, but may be easily
identified. Many others repose in cemetery on
the other side of town.
Crops in this region are abundant, and reports
from other sections Of the State give promise of a
heavy yield. Experienced farmers express theil
belief that more corn viii be harvested lin Ken
lucky this year than ever before. 1t is cheering
to stand on one of these hills and look over wav
ing corn-fields stretching out for miles, inter
spersed with meadows, blue, grass pastures groves
Of oak, walnut and hickory, grain fields and farm
houses. To one coming from the alIuvial dead
level Of lower Louisiana, these swelling hills and
grassy valleys are peculiarly refreshing.
