A RICH SELL.-The great sell of last
Saturday week, was our local on N. G.
McKerell, whom we assured our readers,
had been killed by Radicals on the coast Ct
North Carolina, aud by them split the en-
tire length of the spine, and whose mutt
lated remains had been shipped to this
point for interment, and which could be
seen at the Virginia House, the remains
having been embalmed according to an
ancient process. A large number of our
citizens suspended business and repaired to
the hotel, where Mr.. Thomas conducted
them into an elmer chamber" and with
great gravity raised the lid of large box,
revealing to their gaze the we'll preserved
body of North Carolina Mackeresi
The sold party returned, and kept the
secret, aud others followed. Not until
late hour did persons cease to wend their
way to the hotel, to view this victim of
Holden's rule, until some half dozen per-
sons, who relieved zach other from time to
time, actually grew tired of the sport, and
informed the remainder of the visitors
that the matter was>an April hoax. Some
of our best citizens while awaiting the re-
moval of lid, reverently removed their
hats and waited in respectful silence the
view of the body. Altogether it was the
largest hoax of our town for years aud
embraced more victims. All seemed to
enjoy the joke hugely, and our assertion
that Mr.. McKerell had many friends in
town was verified. Bristol Ne,ps.

Easter Eggs.-For the ensuing week
the little people throughout Christendom will
rejoice in the surprise that Easter brings 10
the shape of eggs of variegated hue and
unique devices,-an imitation of a custom
which anciently prevailed in commemoration
OF the Saviour's resurrection and the con.
sequent peace and good feeling that should
prevail among all men, though some have
traced it to an oriental custom, and found in
it the symbol OF creation, which deveoped
the germ Of all things. In most Eastern coun-
tries the new year begins with the spring
equinoxes, and the festive occasion is partly
celebrated by the sending of gaily ornament
ed eggs from one friend to another, and it is
supposed that the custom found its way to the
Western portion of Europe, where for centu.
ries the year also began with spring. In
France Easter eggs, though still SO called, have
changed into costly bon bons, or even more
expensive presents, as tokens Of friendship. In
Russia alone the custom maintains its sacred
character, and the eggs are given with the
words "Christis arisen ~ Every body; at home
or abroad, has supply of Easter eggs about
him, and passers by are accosted with those
words and two eggs struck against each other
and the one that succeeds in breaking the
other claims both. The custom has lost much
OF its ancient significance, and is regarded
win US rather as holiday pastime than any.
thing else.

Western Silver Mines.

The New York journals express surprise at the large and increasing shipments of silver ore from the mines of Utah, Nevada and Arizona, and frequently publish statements on the subject which must have much in- fuence on their readers. The fact is, that even here on the Pacific Coast, 1t IS hard to realize the immense ex- tent and richness of the silver mines of the West, and particularly west of the Rocky Mountains. These mines, with those of gold quartz, are certain to attract yearly increasing amounts of capital to their development, and will make the United States eventually the greatest producer of precious metals ever known Their agency in stimulating emigration and building up the immense spaces of the middle continent and Pacific shores, will be cumulative, though it may operate more slowly than in the case of California, where the richest surface diggings ever offered as a free field of labor to the enterprise of the world drew armies of prospectors in single year, $. ?.
