HIS LAST HOURS.
A telegram from Lexington, Va, says:-This
community was plunged into profound sorrow upon
the announcement OF the death OF General Lee. He
had been almost entirely unconscious since Monday
night last, and expired very peacefully and quietly
at 9H O'Clock Wednesday morning. He was first
taken sick on wednesday evening, September 28,
denly sank in his chair insensble. A reaction soon
took place. and In the course OF the next ten days he
steadily improved, until 1t was hoped he was out OF
danger, but on Monday evening last he became sud-
wednesday morning During the early part of his
sickness he slept much and spoke but little, but
rational when awake, and always recognized those
who approached him.
HIS MIND REvERTs TO THE ARMY.
At times his mind seemed to wander, and on seve-
raj occasions reverted to the army He once ordered
his tent to be struck, and at another time desired
that Chill" should be sent for. He suffered compa-
died without a struggle. He will be buried on Sa-

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Gold In Ohio-Luclxy ssFind,, Of n Returned
Californian.

OaltfOrntame d.
The Mahoning Register OF last week says:-
''Wlthin the past week a new discovery has trans
pired which bids fair to elecrify this part OF the
State and add greatly to the fame and wealth OF
Northwestern Ohio It is nothing more nor less than
the discovery of gold-bearlng quartz rock at Mel
sons LEDGE near Garrettsyile, and the leasing Of
town capitalists, whose fame and enterprise alone
give credibity to a report which otherwise might
seem sensational and groundless. The facts,
time since a returned Californian, who
was visiting Nelson's Ledge, noticed that
the rock in that vicinity bore great resemblance to
the gold bearing quartz OF California The matter
was communicated to some OF our Youngstown
men OF enterprise, and immediately company, con-
sistiDg OF Messrs. Thomas Struthars John Stam-
baugh, charles d. Arms, Jacob Stambaugh, John
Tod and Evan Morris leased all the land In that
vicinity. They now hold leases Of the land around
and including the ledge to the extent OF twenty
hundred acres specimen OF rock has been sent
to the Assay Once at New York, and the assay
which has been received shows yield OF sl9l5 per
ton, which can be made profitable yield In
this country. The assay is In this city, and
slight sensation has been aroused over the dis
coVery OF this new mineral wealth In our Vicinity
What degree OF reliance may be placed upon the
new enterprise or the average richness Of the rock
is as yet absolutely beyond conjecture. The gold
bearing quartz is, as every one knows, among the
nature which precludes all reliable calculation as to
the results One thing is certain, that the gentle
men who have charge OF the matter are able TO test
1t thoroughly, and II they ind success they will re-
ceve the hearty CONGRATULATIONS OF all who know
them"
