Buried Alive In n Well.

A well fifty feet deep situated on the
premises of Mr.. Bowyer, near the Univcr-
sity of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va, being
out Of order, a negro man named William
Rives went down into it TO re-arrange some
stones which had fallen from the lower
portion of the wall.
While he was thus engaged at the bot
tom OF the well, the entire wall, composed
chiefly of very large stones, caved in and
and buried Ryes beneath its ponderous
weight. 1t was thought lie was surely
crushed to death, but, strange to say, upon
about half the debris being removed, the
workmen could hear him praying for deliv-
erance from his horrible situation.
The accident occurred about 0 o'clock in
the morning. lie was taken out alive at
7P. M.

Every year increases the populari-
ty ofthiS valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that Is is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
or FADED HAIR TO its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all cruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishcs
the hair-glands. by its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create n new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most Geo.
nomical HAZE DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. a. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts, says,
The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider It the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

An English paper gives the following
curious pen-and-ink sketch from cor.
respondent: while going to church l
noticed near me the new uniform of q
General officer, some one who impress
ed me at first as the youngest, blondest
and slenderest General officer i ever
eaw, and tried to divine how promo
ton gould have been so rapid in an ar
nay where every thing is regular. /
looked again, and the quick, elastic step,
the slender, almost woman-like waist,
contrasted strangely with his rank, which
| noticed to be that of full General.
On looking into his face I was still more
surprised to recognize General Won
Moitke. We continued on to the chap
ell door together. He is araan of few
words, Of singularly youthful express
ion of countenance and eye; and al
though one knows that he is seventy
years of age, and heavy time-lines mark
bis face, it is hard to shake off the idea
that he is boy. He has light and
nearly transparent complexion, clear
biue eye, faxen hair, white eyebrows
and no beard.'

NIr. Greeisy's Physicians Views Of
His Last Illness.

DR.. Edward Bayard, who was Mr..
Greeley's medical adviser for eleven
years, gives in to morrow's Sun his
views regarding Mr.. Greeley's last i'll
ness, and also of his prostrated condi-
tion after the first battle of Bull Run
DIR. Bayard says he was never insane,
but physically exhausted. The tension
of immense labor on his mind and body
rendered sudden breaking down inevi-
table. He was nervous, excitahle man,
and even in the heat of the Presidential
campaign, felt all the attacks on his
character keenly. After the battle of
Bull Run, in 1861, he told DR., Bayard
that the country was ruined, like him
self, ami that he had been instrumental
in bringing woe upon the Nation. Ten
days rest at that period, with sedative
remedies, brought him round to his
usual health Dr. Bayard believes it
was grave mistake to place Mr.. Gree.
ley in mad.house, and that he was
never crazy in any degree,but worn out.
