| AssAssrSATloN.--we notice by.ons Of our
exchanges that DR.. Almon Case, Union Sena>
tor from Obion county, West Tennessee, was
shot dead at his residence short time eince.
| We give few remarks that We have clipped
on the subject-[ED. REruB.1:
Senator Case was good brave and faith
I'll man, an advocate Of progress, and an en-
| lightencd public officer. He was an early
friend Of colored enfranchisement and it is
worthy of particular note that he was in favor
Of universal amnesty, and allowing all citizens
to vote, irrespective Of Their political antecc-
| dents or color. But his liberal views made
him no less obnoxious to rebel malevolence
He has fallen by the hands Of one Of the very
men whom he was ready to pardon and re-
store. Only few days prior to the beginning
Of the present session, his son, an excellent
lad Of sixteen, was shot dead while the family
was returning from church, where the boy had
just made profession Of religion. The father
was wearing Grape for his murdered son At
the time Of his own assassination.
"Thus another samc full Of honor, has been
added to the martyvology Of our S,ats-the
name Of one who livea without fear and per-
ished without reproach.

course by such horrid occutences."-Na.h,

OLD FoLKs.-The entire number of per
sons, who, according to the census, have
attained the great age of 100 years and up
ward, is probably larger than most of our
readers would guess. 1t is just 1900. OF
these there are, white 44O, black 6ss, mulatto
46, Indians go. Women attain high lon
geVity in greater numbers than men, and
black people more than white. There are
white, males 1874, females 25o; black, males
995, females 393. The proportions are about
the same in the different years above hun
dred as in the aggregate. The oldest persons
are white woman in South Carolina, and
an Indian woman in California, aged 14O
years. The oldest blacks, two males and
three females, are 1870 years. From these
advanced years down 10 100, there are per-
sons IN every successive year. At 1tO, there
are 30 white and 113 blacks; at 1870, there
are white and 81 black. In proportion to
numbers, twelve times as many blacks as
whites exceed hundred years of age. BY
the best calculations made, it is ascertained
that the average duration of human life ia
greater in the United States than IN any
other nation.

a coRREsPoNDENTo of the Chicago Tribune
gives the following account Of the way gold
is sometimes found in the auriierous regions:
IA year since Chinaman walking along
road in Calaveras county, because he was
too poor TO ride-John always rides if he
can afford it-picked up rock containing
gold worth some 50, 700, which the wheel of
a large coach had unearthed just after
rain. Such things are of constant occur
renee The other day two boys, sons of
widow lady residing in Nevada county,
were chasing lot of stock up ravine, and
were pelting them with pebbles and stones
which they would pick up on the side of the
ravine, when the attention of one of the
boys was attracted by the unusual weight of
the stones thus picked up, which, on exam
ination, proved to be a nugget of gold,
weighing ten and quarter ounces, and
worth about one hundred and twenty.eight
dollars.n

THE RoTUNDA TO BE LIGHTED BY
ELEcTRIc1TY.-Congress has appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of1lghting the rotunda
Of the Capitol by Professor Gardeners new.
wonderful, and truly astonishing method.
With his apparatus, Mr.. Gardiner is able to
turn on the gas and light any number Of
burners In an instant. Indeed, he does It as
quick as lightning. For more than year
the dome and tholus have been lighted in
this way, and thousands have witnessed the
marvellous method by which it IS done.
Professor Gardiner win proceed at once
to make his arrangements for lighting the
rotunda. He will place above the pictures
in that gallery of art sufficient number of
burners, and these will be attached by wires
to the battery in his laboratory, some two
flights of steps above the floor of the TO.
tunda, and when in working order the effect
OF the light thus produced will shed pc
culiar beauty upon the old paintings in the
hall.
We are glad that Congress is beginning to
appreciate this modus operandi of lighting
gas, and by their liberalitY are giving to the
country some valuable demonstrations Of
Professor Gardeners great invention We
trust it will not be long before both the
House and Senate Chamber will be lighted
by electricity.
While considering this subject we should
not fail 10 call the special attention of all
strangers and others visiting the Capitol, to
that beautiful model machine for lighting
gas which Mr.. Gardiner made for the Paris
Exposition. 1t is now on exhibition in his
rooms at the Capitol, where all can see it,

STRANGE STORY IAN OFFICER BELIEVED
TO BE DEAD.-The Bellows Falls (Vt
Times says that letter has been received at
the Adjutant Generals office of Vermont,
purporting that Major Buxton, late of the
Eleventh Regiment of that State, who was
Killed Gas generally understood) at Win.
chester, Va, September 10, 1864, was still
alive. The letter, which is written as If bv
partially insane person, who says he ia
Major Buxton, states that he has a strange
story to tell, &C., and trusts in God he will
be able to find his wife, whom he has not
seen for long time. He saws he was
wounded and left on the field for dead. and
must have become insane, as the next thing
he remembers was in Springfield, Illinois,
without money or friends; subsequently he
enlisted as private in the Eleventh United
States Regulars, but was discharged for
disability, and is now awaiting transporta-
tion home,
The letter was sent to Bellows Falls and
shown to Major Buttons wife and also TO
some OF his friends, none of whom think il
IS IN the Majors handwriting, of whose
death on the 18th OF September, 1854, there
does not seem to be a particle Of doubt
several of his comrades testify to having
seen him killed instantly, he having been
shot through the head as he rose at a time
when his regiment was lying on the ground.
ihey also saw him after he was dead, and
his company sent home his remains. All
the details of his death are as well certified
to as it is possible they could be. But still
there is such extraordinary evidence that
Inc letter, which is dated at Lynchburg,
Va, might have been written by the Major,
that the greatest excitement prevails. Every
eiiort is being made to throw the light of
truth or the stigma of cruel imposition on
the affair. .e....

TWICE MARRIED TO THE SAME WOMAN
1t frequently happens that man is twice
married; but it is not usual for the same man
to be twice married to the same woman.
Such case, however, really occurred not
long since in Memphis, A surgeon in the
rebel army, after serving until the close of
the struggle, returned to his home in Hope
field, Arkansas, to find his house burned
and his wife gone. Unable after a long
search to find the latter, and believing she
had wilfully abandoned him, he procured
divorce, and returned to Hopefield to practice
his profession. A few weeks ago he received
word that his wife was in West Tennessee
and that she was still faithful to him. but
had sought the home of friend after their
house was burned down. A correspondence
ensued; and last week the former husband
and wife met at the Commercial Hotel IN
Memphis, and were formally remarked,

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Another OF those startling and horrible events

and Northern Indiana Railroad. 1t seems that
boy in the village has been and is credited
with the powers of second sight, or q species Of
prophetic vision, which has given him consider.
able notOriety. The most ancient female has
sought his aid, and the avaracious have conferr-
ed with him concerning matters Of monetary
consideration. II is said that he is 10 possession
Of stone, through the manipulation of which
he can see wonderful things, and open the CON
Germs Of the past, present and future, with as
much facility as the most mysterious-minded
could imagine. His powers of seership have
been doubted, but notwithstanding this many
have aooked to his fathers house to test his
visionary mode Of revelation.
From this blind confidence q most horrible
incident has occurred, resulting iu the death Of
hard-wOrkIng and probably innocent man. 1t
seems that G man named Kelson lost an axe, and
suspected neghbor named Watkins of stealing
it. 1t being sugar time, Keson needed the
services Of the blade, and proceeded with rather
wrathful feelings to Watkins sbanty for the
purpose Of getting the implement. The pecula.
tion was Indignantly denied, but 80 we'll satisfied
was Kelson that Watkins had the axe in his
possession that he openly accused him Of il. A
personal encounter ensued, during which Kelson
received the worst Of il. After this he went TO
the boy alluded to, and was told by him, after
consultation with the stone, that Watkins had
stolen the axe. Satisfied that it was true. he
returned and renewed the quarrel. What passed
between them is not known, but that most
fearful encounter took place cannot be doubted.
as Watkins shanty is besmeared with blood. His
doorway is despatched with blood and other
horrible evidences of a desperate fight are
apparent from appearances.
How the circumstances of the affair FIRST became
known are not apparent, neither can history Of
the deadly fight be read until the inquest takes
place, but-that it was horrible one cannot be
doubted. Kelson was first discovered lying about
five yards from the shanty, with his head literally
cut in pieces, and n ghastly wound on his right
breast, sufficient Of itself to have caused death.
A more horrible or sickening sight than the
body Of the wounded man presented would be
impossible to conceive His skull was battered
in and gaping wound on the left side OF the
head of the measure OF the axe, exhibited how
fearful blow had been given. Watkins, after
the occurrence, left the place, and it is reported
gave himself up to the authorities at Monroe.
