SrKASss.-The rapid decomposition
OF the hodios Of those who we're lost
in the great mining accident a, Gold
Hill, 10 quite ms strange and hard TO be
understood as anything connected with
the sad affair. The smell Of the bodies
last brought up is said 10 have been
almost in~tolerable, aud the flesh OF
some of them seemed us much dscayed
AS though they had been dead II mouth.
This is supposed to have 6eea caused
by the great heat TO which TIVE bodies
were exposed, and to the effects OF the
bad air and poisonous gases hlling
the lower parts Of the mines. IL is
said that the flesh OF some OF those
last brought up was so decayed that
the 6rgers Of those handling the bodies
would penetrate it upon the slightest
pressure. Those who assisted 10 taking
out the bodies say they will never, to
the latest day Of their lives, forget the
peculiar and siekeniug smell which they
gave out. II will he an awful task to
bring out the bodies of those still re-
maiuing in the mines. The filling OF
the mines with steam will doubtless
add greatly to the heat, and must
hasten The decomposition OF all the
bodies remaining below.

About ten years ago young man
named Qusckenbush left his home in
Warwick, Orange county, with drove
of cattle for New York city. H arrived
at his destination, sold his cattle, and
from that time up to last S lturday his
relatives lost all trace of him. On Sat.
urdsy q man Of about eighty years
arrived at Warwick, bringing intelli-
gence of the missing young man. 1t
seemed that Quackenbush was robbed in
New York city after selling his cattle,
and in desperation at his loss he shipped
for California. he went to the mines
and formed an association with two
young men to care for each other 10
sickness and during life, aud to share
each others fortunes in case of
death When that great disease, the gold
fever, broke out in Australia the trio went
thither and labored together with success.
Last year, however, Mr.. Quackenbush's
associates died, aud as their heir, under
agreement, he fonud himself possessed Of
about $35, 1000. He determined to return
to his early home, and, gathering up his
treasures, sailed for Liverpool. There he
was taken sick and died last spring. The
aged messenger referred to was stopping
at the same house with Mr.. Qusckenbush,
and as he intended to come to this
country as soon as he could arrange his
affairs, to him was intrusted the duty of
informing the relatives of Mr.. Quacken-
bush, in Warwick. He was received there
at 6rst with suspicion; bat he produced
satisfactory references, and the family
have taken steps to recover the fortune
which awaits them in England.

A Clever French Detective.

A Paris paper vouches for the autheu-
ticity of the following: A legacy of 500,-
900 francs was recently left to a lady
who had long lived with her daughter in
extreme poverty. Unfortunately, this
suddenly enriched couple were nowhere
to be found, aud the affair was put into
the hands of a young aud active detective.
He asked for fourteen days to prosecute
the search. At the end of that time he
had been unsuccessful, and he begged
for fourteen days more. Still he was
app lreutly no nearer his object, and he
requested that the time might be ex
tended to a month. When this period
had elapsed, and he presented himself,
unsccompsnied by anyone, before his
superior, the latter upbraided him with
his inefRciency.' 1t was obvious, the in
dignant ofiicisl remarked, that his sub
ordinate did not sufficiently know bis
business.
"Very well, my dear sill" was the
calm reply, "but have now to inform
you that have been eight days married
to the daughter of the lady | have been
searching for, and | shall thank you to
hand over the 100000 francs which are
now the property of my mOther-in-law."
