A Lorain county (Ohio) paper is re-
sponsible for the following: William
Hyde, veteran of about eighty win
ters, got tired of living alone, and pro-
cured the Importation of venerable
dame from Cleveland. Going upon a
rule adopted by some churches, he pro-
posed to take her upon trial, and if
everything was satisfactory, afterward
have the marriage ceremony performed,
to which the lady assented. But when
the morning of the first day of proba-
tion came, the old lady backed out, and
took her departure for Cleveland. Moth
ing daunted, and apparently being de-
termiaed not to lose about eighteen
dollars he had expended in anticipation
of his bridal, another was found to take
the place of the probatum, and they
were soon made one.

On Saturday morning the body OF
William E. Burton, a white man, who
had been in the employment of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company
for some months past rs brakesman on
n freight train, was found by two negro
women near GOrdonSville, bearing the
marks of having been most foully muir
dered. His body was bruised from head
to foot, and his skull fractured on the
right side just behind the ear. His
hands were crossed and tied together
in front of him. He was last seen in
this city about two weeks since in the
neighborhood of Rockets. Since that
time he has not been seen by any one
who knew him, and it is not known
how his body was gotten to the spot
where it was found, as he did not go
up on any train on the road. He came
from the neighborhood of Milisboro',
and has wife and family living there
now. No one is aware of any cause
that could have induced his murder,
and the whole affair is enveloped in
mystery. The body was in a thicket of
underground about hundred yards
from the railroad. 1t had the appear
ance of having been dead ten days or a
fortnight. An inquest was held, but
no light was thrown on the affair."

washington Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.I
Several months after the clsse Of the
war q tin bsx was given 70 GENERAL
Spinner, Treasurer of the United States,
by Mr.. Stanton, then Secretary of War,
for safe keeping. The box was said to
contain about $780, 900 in gold, and Mr..
Spinner carefully locked it away in the
vaults of the Treasury. About q year
ago q certain national bank suspended,
with heavy Indebtedness to the Gov
ernment. A United States Quartermas-
ter who had got into trouble in his
official capacity was indebted to this
bank in the sum of $50 900, and the box
deposited with Skinner was said to con-
tain that amount of money belonging to
said Quartermaster. The bank engaged
the services of an eminent lawyer ofNew
York city as its attorney, and no
Immediately began proceedings to have
the box opened and the money taken
out aud paid over to the Government
to liquidate o part of the banks ina
debtedness. The attorney had been
striving more than a year to accomplish
his object, but it was not until the
other day that success attended his
efforts. He had been to Secretary Nc
Cullech, who referred him to General
Grant. General Grant hadn't the aa-
thority, but thought Stanton was the
person. Mr.. Stanton referred him back
to Mr.. McCulloch, who asked time to
consider Several months thus passed,
and Mr.. McCulloch laid the case before
the President, and he thought it fit
subject for q Cabinet consultation.
1t was accordingly discussed in Cabinet
meeting, but before conclusion
could be reached, the impeachment
complication occurred, and changes
were made in the Cabinet. 1t was then
found necessary to bring the subject
before the Cabinet again, with its new
members. This was done, and it was
decided that the power to open the box
lay with the Secretary of War. To-day
the War Secretary detailed General
Hardee, of his staff, to accompany the
bank attorney and have the contents of
the box examied. They found that the
rules of the Treasury Department re-
suired law officer of the United States
to be q witness, and Assistant District
Attorney Wilson was sent for. Gen.
eral Spinner then summoned several
of his confidential clerks as addition
al witnesses, and the whole party,
headed by the hopeful and triumphant
attorney, went to the vaults. The box
was brought out from dusty corner,
for inspection. 1t was locked and seal
ed, but there was no key. After some
delay locksmith was secured and the
box was opened, and found to contain
an old calico dress and woman's shawl
and waterproof cloak, labeled as follaws:
"Taken from the person of Jefferson Da-
Wis at the time of his capture by Colo
mel Pritchard, of the u. S. A." General
Hardee at once departed for the War

TIE CAMPAIGN.--We learn from Bland
county that on Wednesday last the campaign
was opened in that county with fine spirit.
General WALKER, the Conservative candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, was present,
and made strong speech to large assem-
blage of the people, which was listened to
with marked attention. The Generals
points were forcible, and were presented In
clear and convincing logic. JAMES b. COX.
ESQ.,, of Chesterfield, happening to be pre-
sent, was prevailed upon to speak, and fol-
lowed General WALKER in telling speech,
remarkable for it's practical good sense as
well as political wisdom. He, too, interested
the audience from beginning to conclusion
of what he had to say.
Persons present represent the effect OF
these speeches upon the people Of Bland as
most decided and encouraging. General
WALKER was received with great favor.

1t is an easy matter to be Radical edi-
tor. All you have to do is to manufacture,
day after day, the most incredible stories,
and publish them for the instruction and
belief of crowd of wondering asses. One
might judge from the stories thus brought
forth that the Radicals are the stupidest
fools that ever numbered the earth. They
are always ready to swallow the most ab-
surd lies. The last one out is that. the
whites of the southern States will hold a
separate Presidential election OF their own.
Here is the story as told by FoESEY:
sWe have proof in the recent utterances
of men who are in the secrets Of the Demo-
cratic managers that one of the means re-
lied anon for. success IN the neat election IS
to co,t,,t the yvotes Of the rebel constituencies

reciting tfat whereas the Bishop Of Vir-
ginia has decided repeatedly that the lend
ing Of Episcopal churches to ether denoml.
nations for the public worship Of God ls NOT
in conflict with Canon No. II which decl.
sion the Council doth approve and that
whereas there are many churches II tne
diocese which owe their erection TO sne
liberal assistance Of other Denominations
therefore it is resolved that the cause OF
Christ and the true interests Of the Cnurc.
would be greatly promoted by 9 hberai
exercise Of the authority Of the rectors ana
vestries to lend their churches to ministers
of respectable orthodox churches when they
are not needed for Episcopal services, out
that the duty Of the vestries to inquire lnto
the character of the application shall Dc
unimpaired.
Mr.. Colston said that he was anxious that
the Council of Virginia should put them
selves on record as in favor Of liberal con-
struction of the canon referred to, so that
Episcopalians may not be subject to the re-
proach that they beg the use OF otner
churches and yet refuse to lend theirs ior
Divine worship by ministers OF other oe-
nominations.
Rev. DR.. Peterkin stated that some years
ago the clergy and lay delegates had aoro-
gated the canon prohibiting the loan OF our
churches for the use of non-Episcopaii
preachers. In this action the House OF
Bishops refused to concur, and therefore
the canon is still in force. AS the law now now
stands, vestry (of which the rector is a
member) is to decide whether the use OF
church Shall be granted to congregation
not Episcopal for religious purposes. ne
favored the liberal exercise of this right
but did not see that the adoption of the re-
solutions would better the state of affairs.

The MILITARY wave Rons Ca.

On Wednesday last, Judge FULTON, of
Wythe, opened his court at Bland Court
house. During the week, and before the
session Of the court was completed, 9 sum-
mons came from General ScHoFIEtD COM
manding the Judge to.appear before Q mill
tary tribunal at Wytheville. The Judge at
once adjourned his court and resigned his
Office. He could not consentto proceed with
the mockery Of court for the administra-
ton Of justice while its presiding officer
was in the custody Of the military power.
He could not serve two masters, and, with a
high sense Of duty, promptly closed the
court and resigned disposition.
What accusation has been brought against
the Judge not even he knew on Saturday.
He arrived at Wytheyille on that day. to
snswer. the summons. The accusation is
probably based upon alleged partiality Of
the Judge in his decisions between Virgil
mans who sided with the Confederacy in
obedience to the mandate of their State
and self-styled Union men. And it is
equally probable that desire on the part
Of somebody to get Judge FULToN's place
is at the bottom of the whole proceeding.
Judge FULTON has ever maintained before
his fellow-citisens the character Of an up
right and impartial judge; and none who
know him will apprehend for a moment
that any charge affecting his integrity in
his high Office will be fairly established by
testimony.
