LOCAL MATTERS.

SCIENTIFIC LECTURES. are graft
lied to be able to announce that a series of
three scientific lectures upon the "Won.
ders of Science" will be delivered at Vir-
glnia Hall next week, by Professor E. P.
Rowland, of Washington, under the aus
pices OF the Richmond Lecture Associa-
ton.
This association was formed but few
days ago, and its early fruits indicate an
activity which promises much immediate
good to this community. Professor How
land will lecture Tuesday, Thursday and
FRIDAY evenings, the Sd, 9th and 9th DAYS
OF December, and he will illustrate his
SUBJECTS on each occasion by means of suit
able apparatus, &c. The Professor is in
the city to-day preparing for the lectures.
These are but the beginning, we are as.
sured, of the valuable and instructive les
sons which the Association promise the
Richmond public during the present sea-
son. 1t is probable that other able and
distinguished scientific and literary gentle
men will follow Professor Rowland, thus
furnishing high intellectual enjoyment to
our citizens and largely aiding the cause of
popular education in our midst.

THE NEWS BY TELEGRAPH
mr.. GREELEY's CONDITION.
HIS DEATH mOMEHTARILY EXPECTED
ms MtND ENTIRELY GONE.

Neto York, November 29.-Mr. Gree.
ley's death is momentarily expected both
by his relatives and the physicians attend
ing him. Yesterday false reports were
circulated in many quarters that his disease
had terminated fatally, and numbers be-
sieged the Tribune office to ascertain the
true state of affairs.
Mr.. Greeley IS at Tarrytown, but his
whereabouts there are kept from the pub
lie and many of his friends.
Yesterday evening, at medical consul
tat on, it was said that it was doubtful if
he could live more than few days. DR..
w. A. Hammond, one of the physicians,
said: ~ doubt if he will live forty-eight
hours longer, and should not be surprised
to hear Of his death tonight. While
was at his bedside, Mr.. Weed, an old
friend of Mr.. Greeley's, came up, and
wishing to test Mr.. Greeley, said Mr..
Greeley do you know Mr.. WeedP Mr..
Greeley stared vacantlY, and answered
that he had never met him in his life before,
and he said further : never heard the
name of Weed before.'"
The Doctor described Mr.. Greeley as
talking incoherently all the time and as be-
ing quite obstinate. He says he doesn't
know his own daughter. Between 8 and
10 O'Clock last night his condition was less
favorable than during the day. The physi-
clans did not anticipate any important
change within the next twelve hours.
LATER--MR. GREELEY SINKING RAP
IDLY.
NeW Fork, November 29.--Mr. Greeley
failed very much during the night. He Is
apparently sinking rapidly. He is sleeping
quietly this morning.
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.
Neg York, November 29.--In the Afri-

the presiding elder, greatly affected the
congregation present. His condition has
everywhere awakened feeling of sympa-
thy, and though it is feared that he cannot
recover, many are unwilling to surrender
The hope that he may yet be spared.

DFATH FROM OVERWORK.

The number of deaths in New York last
week was l, 34S, which is larger than that
of any week In the history of the city when
no epidemic was prevailing. This increas.
ed mortality is attributed to the extraordi-
nary heat that has prevailed. The New
York Tribune thinks much of the great
mortality from sun stroke, can be traced to
cuIpable carelessness. That paper says:
at is not the lazy or rank bloOded man
who is SO often struck down, as the work
inCman ignorant Of ordinary precautions,
or TIE student or excited business man
whose brain is already on fire and whose
nervous system is Frustrated by oveTwork.
Our ordinary numerous high-pres-
sure system, shows its nature nowhere
as in the records CT last weeks NOR
talily. Directions for care in exposure,
dress, and diet are well enough in their
place; but why should we invite death at
every moment Of our adult lives to give him
this cold shoulder at the last? The proper
ton Of children among those stricken down
10y the beat this week was appalling. Yet
the heat was not Orse than our fOrefathers
bore and lived to tell us of; and it is quite
true that the children carried about with
them neither eXhaustIng cares in mind nor
too hardly worked bodies; but they had
nothing to oppose TO tie fiery test but the
faccid limbs and rasped nerves bequeathed
TO them by either liquor drinking ancestors
or those who made the stimulsnt of energy
and oVerwork take the place of liquor"

ONE OF THE BRIBE-TAKERs.

The bribe-takers seem to know that
Grant is their friend, or he recognizes them
as his friends. There is a felIow-feeling,
which brings them together. Bancroft
Davis has been Grants agent in the nego-
tiations with Great Britain touching the
IN alter of consequential damages. The
New York Sun furnishes this incident in
the history of this trusted friend of Grant:
alt appears that instead of bribe of only
$4,000 to betray the Erie Company, If
which ne was both director and cOuns e,
Davis got $4,000. The sum of 10000
in bonds was proved to have been paid him
in the course of an official investigation into
the affairs If the Boston, Hartford and
Erie, made by the Legislature of Massachu-
sets; aDd now it appears that there was an
additional bride of $4,000 in cash, which
the Legislature did not find out. This Da-
Wis is a pet OF President Grants, aud has
been kept by him in high stations, notwith-
standing the evidence of his bribery re-
vealed by the Legislature of Massachu-

The New York Tribune has a saucy
way of repeating some of the hard things
said about Mr.. Greeley, as, for instance, the
following:
''For a high-toned style of editorial, this
in the Omaha Tribune is commended to
general parusal: If there is a man on the
face of the whole earth who deserves the
worst utter scorn and contempt; if
there is a man whose record
is blacker than midnight dark
ness; if there is a man whose love for Office
las destroyed bis judgment, bis reason, his
conscience; if there is a man who is covered
al over like an Old-ffshioned State bank
bin with the amount it represented, a thou
sand times repeated, with the words traitor,
rimeserver tUrncoat-that mans name is

sUy to add that the Tribune supports
