SUDDEN DEATHs.-The following re-
marks Of the London Lancet have world
wide application. At any rate, the lesson
taught is one that every civilized commu-
nifty may we'll take to itself. The sudden
death of Madame Masurus, wife Of the
Turkish Ambassador-itself very sad and
shocking-is, says the English editor, only
the last of several sudden deaths, in
persons of high social position, calculated
to produce an excessive impression of the
risk of sudden death incident to diseased
condition of the heart. "We have lost
lately, in similar way, two bishops, one
member of Parliament, and now the dis
tinguished lady Of the Turkish Embassy.
We are informed that Madame Masurus Ia
bored under disease of the heart, and that
she was advised by her medical attend
ant not to attend the grand ball at the
India Office" given, it may be added, in
honor of the Sultan. The advice was, un-
fortunately, disregarded. In many such
cases it will be found that the fatal result
is produced by avoidable indiscretioD,
amounting in some cases to reckless
strain on the physical or mental power, OF
indulgence in the passions. "Apart from
such indiscretions, the occurrence of sud-
den death from heart disease would really
be less common. One Of the bishops al
luded to died shortly after helping to
carry an invalid friend up stairs. The
member of Parliament was notorious IN
the House for the amount OF committee
work he did, to say nothing of the long,
exciting, and exhausting sittings Of the
present session, which he should have
avoided"
Coming nearer home, we are privileged
to give the experience of medical friend
who had under his care some years ago
two persons in the prime of life-strong,
athletic subjects-who met their death by
undue bodily strain. The first, in lifting a
weight to show his strength burst the
aorta, or great artery of the body, some
distance below the heart. He survived
the injury for some days. The second was
business man, who had repeated attacks
of heart disease, and was warned repeat
edly by his physician against any unusual
bodily effort or mental excitement. For
getting the warning, Ec ran one evening
at nightfall short distance to overtake an
omnibus; he fell and expired in few
minutes.
Recurring to the remarks of the Lancet ::
It is obvious that sudden death is, in the
right sense of the word, an accident, and
that but for something attempted, which
should never have been attempted, the ac-
cident would not have happened. 1t
should be the study of persons SO affected
not only to live quiet, leisurely lives, but
to resist the occasional temptations to
extra exertion and excitement in which
the life Of the present century abounds."
All that has been said of heart disease
will equally apply to apoplexy and other
diseases of the brain, followed by paralysis.

CHIcxAMAUGA.-Yesterday occurred the
anniversary of the battle Of Chickanauga.
It was fought September l, 1868, and, as
will be remembered, was one of the most
desperate engagements of the war. The
first particulars Of the terrible affair crea-
ted considerable excitement in Richmond.

FIRE.-About ii O'Clock Friday night
two unoccupied brick buildings in front OF
the penitentiary were discovered to be on
fire. Before an alarm was given the flames
were extinguished. The roof OF each
building was partially consumed. The pro-
perty is owned by Mr.. B, r. Bolton.

A FINE ORGAN.-On Sunday we had the
pleasure Of hearing very effective and
deep. toned organ, which has just been
placed in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic
church, corner of Twenty-fifth and Broad
streets. 1t has been our good fortune to
listen to many of these instruments on
former occasions, but we never before heard
such volume of sound from an organ of
similar size. 1t has but one key board and
only fourteen stops. The case is Of genuine
Gothic style, richly carved, and is nineteen
feet in height, nine feet deep, and twelve
feet wide; and, taken as whole, it will
favorably compare with any we have ever
seen. This instrument was manufactured
by Mr.. Pomplity, of Baltimore, and it is
the first that has ever reached this city
from the factory Of Mr.. Pomplity. AS Bal
timore was the first city in the Union which
came to the relief of the suffering poor of
the South, we trust that her manufacturers
will not be forgotten. Professor F. A.
Newheiser is the organist at st. Patrick's,
and his skilful manipulations attest his eff
cheney. as.t

MAraIMoNY IN THE CouNTY.-During the
month of August, just ended, there were
eleven marriage licenses issued by the
clerk of Henrico County Court, FIVE to
persons of color. Cupid must have been
somewhat inactive in the county. When,
however, it is borne in mind that August
has ever been regarded an unpopular
month for matrimony, the limited number
reported need not occasion surprise.

PAUL VS.. The CoMMoNwEALTH.-Att the
last session of the Virginia Supreme Court

was involved, writ OF error was petit
toned for, and was, Saturday, issued from
the clerks Office Of tho United States Dis
trict Court, and made returnable before
the Supreme Court of the United States,
in Washington, on the first Monday in De-
cember next.

For WEST VIRGIEIA.-We understand
party of emigrants will leave Richmond
about the 10th instant for West Virginia,
under the proposition of Dr.. W. W. Par
ker, which was made public through the
columns of the Dispatch several days since.
These emigrants will 60 in wagons, and
several will be accompanied by their fami-
lies. The northwestern turnpike from
Staunton will be the route. The expense
to young men of endurance, and able to
walk the entire distance, will not exceed
ten dollars. The party will probably travel
about twenty-five miles per day. As. all
these men are familiar with marching, it
probably be an agreeable journey, which
will be no little enhanced by knowledge
of the fact that there is no "enemy in
'front.'" Several who go are printers !; and
when snugly located in their new homes
will no doubt sensible men as they are)
subscribe to the Dispatch, and urge upon
their neighbors to do likewise.

THE POLAR BEAR.-This beautiful ami
NAL, whose arrival here last week has
been announced, is quite feeble, and gives
evident signs of failing health. 1t is with
great difficulty that he can be kept upon
his feet, and his appetite is extremely
poor. His owner, Mr.. Robinson, has caused
his cage to be provided with tank, which
is kept constantly filled with ice-cold
water; but the poor creature seems to
find little relief even from constant bathing.
Coming, as they do, from the arctic re-
gions, and living amid perpetual ice and
snow, it is rarely the case that they long
survive in as mild climate as Eastern
Virginia. The cost of the one attached
to Robinson'S menagerie is said to have
been $4,000. His death would entail O
heavy loss upon the manager.

A CRUEL HoAx.-Some persons fond of
sport fixed up an old pocket-walleti in most
tempting style on Friday night last and
placed it in the main promenade between
the menagerie and the auditorium Of the
circus. But moment elapsed before it
attracted the attention Of q passer-by.
Watching his opportunity, he seized the
wallet (pregnant with old paper and
shavings) and thrust it into his pocket. He
knew not that he had been observed until
! q most immoderate burst of laughter fell
upon mis- ears from a crowd secreted near
by. The sell" at once flashed across his
mind. With detected look and cheek
suffused with shame, he hauled the book
from its hiding place, and throwing it away,
declared that he knew it wasn't worth a
cuss, for he had never had the luck to find
one cent, much less pocket-book.

An Ex-FEDERALsa SOLDIER SHOT II
CHESTERFIELD CoUNTT.-A few days since
an ex-United States soldier, named Hen
derson, was shot and badly injured by Q
guard stationed at the residence Of Mr.
Thomas Chase, near Chesterfield Court
house. It appears that on Wednesday
last the unfortunate man stopped at Mr..
Chase's house while on his way to Mr.. Il.
K. Graves's, where he was employed.
While here he made use of insulting Ian
guage to the guard, charging him with be-
ing the cause of his arrest and imprison-
ment during the late war;, He was prompt
ly arrested by the guard, who, few hours
afterwards, released him. The next morn
ing the guard went and arrested him at the
house of Mr.. Graves. A short time after
leaving the house, the prisoner at
tempted to escape, and was shot by the
guard. He was then carried to barn on
Mr.. Chase's farm and attended to.

MEcuAS1csv1LLE misunderstanding
to take view Of the suburbs, on Satur-
day last we pressed "Shanks'S mare" into
service, and extended our peregrinations
to several localities quite remote from our
metropolitan centre. Among other OBJ
iects Of interest which arrested our at
tention was the Mechanicsville turnpike.
This is one of the most frcquented high
ways leading to Richmond, and we are
pleased to notice that the company are
determined it shall be kept in good order.
They are now engaged in rcgravelling the
pike. The gravel is from the farm Of DR..
J. G. Lumpkin, and the work is done at o
cost of 5000 per mile. During the war,
from long and constant use, the Mechanics
Vile pike became very much worn, and at
the termination Of the struggle was scarce
y worthy the name Of turnpike. All the
bridges, seven in number, were destroyed,
and all the eight culverts were either
washed up or SO badly broken into as to
be comparatively valueless. The COM
pany, however, went to work most cner-
getically, and soon repaired and resra-
yelled the road, reconstructed the cul-
verts, and rebuilt the bridges. As an
evidence of the perfect manner in which
the work was done, during the recent
freshet, which washed away the bridges
over nearly every small stream adjacentto
Richmond, not one on the Mechanicsville
pike gave way, and every culvert re-
mained uniDjured.
The following gentlemen now comprise
the company:
President John G. Lumpkin.
Secretary-David Baker, Jr.
Treasurer NJ. Sutton.
DirectorS.-George W. Smith, George
K. Crutchfeld, Charles c. Elicit, Thomas
boswell, Woodson. Harwood, and Philip
Sutton.
The tariff Of tolls remains the same as in
ante. bell,.m times, with the exception Of
carts. Then the charge on carts was ten
cents, now it is thirteen. ~.

MEETING OF THE RICHMOND TOBACCO
TRADE SATURDAY. On Saturday meet.
ing of the Tobacco Trade OF this city was
held in the Tobacco Exchange. Mr.. E. o
Noting was called to the chair, and read
circular sent from the Tobacco Trade oi
Cincinnati, which requested the Tobacco
Trade of this city to send delegates to q
convention to be held on the 18th of this
month in Cleveland, Ohio, to take mea-
sures to have the law taxing tobacco re-
pealed. The circular says that the tax on
manufactured tobacco, imposed by the
present internal revenue law, is so great,
that Of the gross receipts Of the manufac-
turer from his business, from one-half to
two-thirds is claimed by the Government,
thereby reducing him to the condition of
serfdom to the revenue, Of newer OF
wood and drawer of water to the bond
holder destroying all equality before the
law, and creating a disparity of condition
equal to any known in monarchical and
imperial Europe.
After the circular was read Mr.. Z. A.
Mayo moved that six delegates be ap-
pointed by the Chair to attend the Con-
vention. The motion was carried, and
the following gentlemen appointed: James
Thomas, Jr., William j. Yarbrough, S.
NJ. Bayley, L. Fl. Frayser, R. A. Mayo,
and William R. Mallory. Aternates-
John II. Greanor and James B. Pace.
