CEIMISAL-A new brick building,
eight stories high, fell in New York last
Thur-day, crushing two houses near,
and killing four persons. 1t appears
from detailed accounts that the building
WAS l9j feet long, so feet high, and on
ly % feet wide. extending from 35th to
Seth street, between 10Th and llth av-
cnues The walls were but l6 inches
thick from tie foundation to ~ feet
from the ground, and only u inches
above that Ii had been built and near
Iy completed in % working days, and II
is asserted that Il rise in the price Of iIie
induced the builder TO Use the very poor
est quality of mortar, with a very sT all
proportion OF lime. There were no lat
eral or partition walls, so the immense
side walls felt the whole force OF the ter
rible blast, and, as an eye witness eN-
pressed it, they seemed to squash all
out" The carpenters, warned by their
rocking, had already fed, but the engin-
eer of tie stationary engine in the base
ment was less fortunate, and persisted be-
meath the ruins. The tenement house
Of Matthew Cairns. a blacksmith shop
adjoining and a coal yard were buried,
and with them dozen human beings
Great exertions by the ncigEhors and the
police released several, bruised but living,
but little boy named McCatierty, Mrs.
Mary Reilly and Mrs. Hamilton were
killed by the falling ruins.

connected with gas works AT Worcester,
Mas, the 10Th inst. Three men were
injured. An escape had been discovered
in one of the pipes, and Blake and Nc
Aulitfe were engaged in repairing IT,
Blake holding a light, which probably
ignited the gas. The building IN which
the explosion occurred was literally
blown to atoms, and the surrounding
buildings more or less damaged. After
tie explosion Mayor Blake ordered the
pipes leading to the retort to be closed,
to prevent further damage. The noise
of the explosion was distinctly heard in
Milbury and Webster, sixteen miles d.
tant, where it was thought to be an
earthquake. in the city the excitement
was very great. Mayor Blake died from

IT gives us pleasure to be assured by
AdIutant General HARRIS that the article
in the MorgantOwn I1St, referred to yes
terlay in connection with the proposed
volunteer militia, was not his production;
and therefore, anything In our remarks,
outside Of the argument, based on the con.
trary belief, was misapplicd. The writer
was remarkably successful In his inita.
tion Of the Generals style, but, Of course,
this assurance Is conclusive Of our misaT,-
prchenslon.
We learn that ut the request Of tlle mill
larry committees Of the two Houses, the
Adiutant General Inns drawn n bill EN-.
bodying his views Of military law to
supcrcedc that now in tho Code. lie has
modified his plan somewhat since writing
his report, with viewO Of beginning the
volunteer organization on a less extensive
and less expensive scale. He will also
probably forcgo the special "hx" propos.
ed. His general plan Is 10 get rid Of the
cumbersome dead letter. militia law us 1t
exists in tho Code, and substitute u brief,
simple and more undermined system, with
a view Of dispensing with general muStcrs
and forming q small but efficient volunteer
corps.

SUSPENSION OF LIFE.
llir atleCtiOnate son,
ARTHUR PATRfCE.


~ .
From he Albany Ettnlng journal,
1t Is said that in the tombs Of the NEGRO
polls of ancient Egypt two kinds Of mum.
mics have been found One Is incomplete
that Is to say, all organs necessary tor
life have been separated from them the
other, on the cOntrary,is quite complete,
Having observed this, q Swedish chemist,
DR.. Grusselbach, who has the reputation
of being both great and learned, Professor
at the University Of UpSaL has come to
the conclusion that the Egyptian mum.
mics are not all as has been stlid and
believed for sOmei thousands of years,
bodies embulmed by any process OF pre-.
servatiOn whatever, but that they IRE
really the bodies Of individuals whose lie
has been momentarily suspended, with the
intention Questioning them at some future
time, only the secret Of preservation has
been lost. Meanwhile, Professor Grussel.
bach addpccs many proofs III support of his
idea; among others, his, experiments DUR
ing the last ten years, which he says have
always proved successful. He took II
snake and treated 1t in such u manner rs
to benumb It as though It Ind been carved
in marble, and It WIS so brittle that hHd
he allowed tito fall It would have broken
into fragments. In this state he kept 1t
for several years, and then restored It ia
life by sprinkling 1t with stimulating fluid,
the composition Of which is secret. For
fifteen years the snake has been undergo
ing M existence composed Of successive
