DIED, at New Orleans on the l7th day CT
Novr"b'r' 1871, Mrs. frareis L. Block. ,ged
20 years. s months and 20 dayr; born at
Richmond, Va, February 81, 1876.
IhHfe are few of the oil households Of
Hampstead county into which this intelli-
g"nee will not bring shade of sadness
associated and contrasted with many pleas
ant memories of. the good old times now
p;si an gone forever. Fourteen years ago,
'he whole peop'e wero called to mourn the
death Of her husband, the late Cant, kbra.
ham Block, whose name was 30 ip,ima,.l,
associated with the rise. ,.ysp,rity and bis,
tory OF our co@nry. Since then, she, his
beloved and helpful wife, has calmly awaited
her hour to rejon him in the better land g.
and, although infrm in body, has lived to
see many of her descendants pass away be
fore her, in the prime of life and the bloom
of youth, whilst she endured in patient hope
to the end. Her trials are all over, and she
has followed the ties which drew her TO the
spirit land leaving large circle of sorrowing
relatives and memory fragrant with gentle
charities and domestic virtues for hers
was the true woman's life. Mostly occupied,
in her prime of life with the duties cf wife
and mother, and in dispensing the noted
hespitaliles Of her husbands household. her
days glided away without any incidents to
attract the public attention. What her hands
found TO do that she did; aud her children
grew up to call her blessed, and when age
and infrmities came upon her, a useful life
was fitly founded by pa!ien. and cheerful
resignation.
Her memory will be tcnlrrly cherished
| by host of ffirn]s. She was specially
noted for kindness and prudence, and gentle
charity and forbsarance with the faults and
follies of others. 1t WAS commonly said by
those who knew her well, that she had
never been heard TO make an unkind remark
about any one and now, there is perhaps
no one on earth, Who reading this. will not
JON in the earnest prayer, and full belief
that she may rest in peace.

Obituary..

Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, the
eminent English geoIogist, died in Lon
don, on October 22l, in the eightieth
year of his age. He was born in Ross
shire, Scotland, on February 19, 1892,
ana having graduated at a military col
Iege entered the British army, served
in the peDinsular war, and attained the
grade of Captain of Dragons. In 1925
he commenced the publication Of geo
logical memoirs, and from that time
forth was constantly engaged in the ex-
animation of rock strata, extending his
observations to all parts of the conti-
nent of Europe, as well as Great Brit
ain, and establishing the "Silurian
System" as applicable to the rocks ly-
ing beneath the old red sandstone. For
his labors in this field he received nu-
merous foreign orders, and was partic-
ularly honored by the Gar of Russia.
In 1855 he became Director General
of the Geological Survey of Great Brit
ain. He was four times elected Presl-
dent of the Geological Society, and
eleven times President of tbs Royal
Geographical Society, having delivered
| twelve anniversary addresses before the
latter institution. He was member OF
all the prominent scientific societies,
and received several gold medals fol
his services in the advancement OF
knowledge. During the last three
years Sir Roderick [. Murchison has
exhibited great interest in the explora
tions of DR.. Livingstone in Central
Africa, writing letters to the newspa
pers and arguing, against the stronges
probabilities, that the missionary trav
eler was safe, and would soon emerge
from the recesses of the wilderness.

The Tobacco Crop Of Virginia.
From the Danvine (va.) Register, Oct. 18


The tobacco crop has been cut and
housed, and much of it is already cur
ed. 1t has all along been predicted
that the yield of this year would be in
ferior in quality and short in quantity,
and now that it has been carried in,
the result only too palpably verifies
the prediction. In the outset full
crop could not be pitched for want of
plants; the fields suffered severely from
drouth later in the season; and now,
at the critical period, that great terror
of the planter and fatal enemy of the
weed, the frost, has done its part to-
ward the general misfortunes.
Some of the fields in the low grounds
were badly damaged by the frosts some
two weeks ago. but greater loss than
this was sustained because of the cold
snap at that time, alarming many firm
ers, who, taking counsel of their fears,
cut their tobacco green. AS well as we
can gather, great deal of the crop has
been thus cut before it was ripe, and Of
course the resultwill be a large proper
ton of dark and green leaf in market
next year, with a comparatively small
quantity of good working qualities ano
bright yellow. Some farmers who were
very fortunatein pitching their crops
early, have made and cured fine tobac
co, but we think they are the exception

Melted Coin from Chicago at the PhiIa.
.deiDhia Mint.

On Wednesday the counting of the
melted coin from the Assistant United
States Treasurer, at Chicago, was begun
at the mint, in Philadelphia The In
quirer says:
"The coin was taken from the large
iron chests in which it had arrived, and
spread upon tables where it was exam
ined. By instructions received from
Secretary Boutwell,, an accurate count
of this money must be made. To per-
form this duty Messrs James @. Eys-
ter, O. B. Jones, VIM. NJ. Runkel, VIM
S. Steel and Levi G. Cowperthwait were
detailed, and at little after 9 O'Clock
in the morning the work commenced.
The coin had evidently been shoveled
up from the ruins Of the vaults, and as
it was poured forth from the bags was
found to be mixed with particles of
stone, mortar and burned rags. In many
cases the silver and nickel coins, which
melt much easier than gold, were found
to have been run down by the heat, and
in their melted condition had so fused
with the gold as to render hundreds Of
dollars into one solid mass, which could
not be.separated except by the action
of chemicals.
Considerable of the gold and all Of
the silver Will have to be remelted AID
recoined before it can be again used by
the Government. Most of the gold has
been badly oxydized by the action of
heat and water, but from test made
Wednesday by the Assayers it is thought
that greater part of the whole mass
can be cleared and Teissued without
gong through the process of melting
and recoining. This will be accomplish
ed By the action of ofchemicals and wash
ing, and Will be more economical for
the Government than the process of
melting would be. The coin, so far as
has been examined, consists of sos,
$10s, $5s, $21s and SIS in gold, and all
denominations of silver pieces, from
the half dollar down to three cents. A
few nickels and copper pieces have also
been found. The duty of separating
these coins from each other, classify
ing and counting them, was performed
by the gentlemen above named on We'd
nesday, and from the time at which the
chests were opened until 81 o'clock on
Wednesday, night about $25S, 900 were
handled and put away to the credit of
the Chicago treasurer.
