EVANSVILLE, HENDERSON AND NASH
VILE RAILRoAD-We invite special at

"Viator," who is now travelling in KeR-
tucky, along the line of the Evansville,
Henderson and Nashville railroad. His
description Of Guthrie, Trenton, Pembroke

try, will be interesting to our merchants
and mechanics, particularly 40 from the
fact that we will, in a short time be in
direct communication with these points,
opening a new and valuable field for trade
for our city. II is a fact not generally
known that Christian county, in Kentucky,
produces more tobacco than any county in
the world. Mr.. Hsssard, the gentIemanly
aud enterprising Superintendent of the
Edgeheld and Kentucky and Evansville,
Henderson and Nashville railroads, pro.
poses TO give our merchants aud business
men generally a free ride as soon as the
road is completed to Hopkinsville. Nash
vile is lis miles nearer TO Hopkinsville
than Louisville, aud when the road is COM
pleted to that point, passengers can leave
HopkInsvilie in the morning, spend four
hours in Nashville, and return the same
evening. We understand the Louisville
merchants already have their drummers
in that country. viii the Nashville mer-
chants sit quietly and lose this valuable

sation in East Boston:
Yesterday afternoon accounts of n ra,...I,a-
bic case of trance were prevalent in EaSf -
Ton. The stories were various, and some har-
dsred on the marvellous and supernatural All
agreed, however, that the subject was a zen
tleman who was supposed TO have died in
New York, on Monday last, and whose body
was received By his family, residing in East
Boston. Friday was set as the time for the
funeral, but when the coffin was opened on
tnat day. the appearance of the body was such
THAI me !1inily believed that vitality remained.
Al tins point the stories diverged. One runner
was that physician was called and pronounc.
ed the opinion that tiie miin was in a trance I;
another, that incisi0ns had been made in the
body from which blood flowed freeIy: a third
that the eyes had been seen TO roll and stare
and the body to move on the couch it was laid
upon; a fourth, that a spiritual medium had
said that the soul had not left the body; while
these startling rumors found a climax in the
report that person passing the house had
seen the body seated AT window, gazinS into
the street. Tho truth appears 70 be that the
family were led 10 believe that death had not
occurred. A medical examination was made
by several physicians, the man was pronounced
dead, and the family assented TO his burial.
The funeral will take place on Tuesday.
