A WEIRD SCENE.

Marching in with slow tread, keeping time
with the solemn music, they twice made the
circuit of the coffin with ranks unbroken.
Then the lines divided, and countermarched
in Interviewing maze which added to the
wierd attraction Of the scene. At length
they ranged themselves on one side Of the
coffin.
Then the distant, muffled bell was heard
again. The sweet, slow music continued,
and soon from the same entrance another
procession appeared. This was headed by
two men in white garments, and all the rest
wore black. More torches, the liquid within
them giving forth a blue transparent light,
which added to the magical effect.
With the same slow, silent, measured
tread, they marched to the coffin, which
doomed family up. Twice they marched
around the ct,latalque in solid ranks. Then
they parted and repeated the eyolutions of
the first company OF mourners, and then
ranged themselves Oh the other side.
ENTER THE HIGH PRIEST.
The sight was strange. A vast dark room,
q coffin i'll its centre. Upon raised plat
form knot of men in gorgeous regaia.
Down either side a row of wonderfully-cos-
TUNED men, whose torches shed dim light
upon the emblem of death. Over all music.
Many of the spectators stood up and
leaned forward in their anxiety to see every
portion Of the wierd scene.
Then entered the high priest Of the cere-
monies, followed by his ecclesiastical assist
ant, all clad in robes the like of which few
persons there had seen before. Marching
slowly to their stations they We're followed
by pal-bearers who seated themselves beside
the coffin. ''Let Us pray" said the priest,
and all the celebrants knelt down, the fiaring
torches contrasting strangely with the bowed
heads and reyerent bearing OF those who
held them.
THE RITUAL FOR THE DEAD.
The High Priest offered up fervel
prayer, which was followed by the lesson

A maj by the name of Crow, a fire.
man OH the e. p. X. r., deserted his
wife and family here a few days ago,
and left, 1t Is supposed, for the ATTAIN
tic States. Mrs. Crow, the victim OF
this cruel desertion, Ia a lady. as far ~
we can learn. of unblemlshed reputa-
ton, amiable. indust rious, economical
and a most excellent housewife. She
has been married to Mr.. Crow about
seven years and has two beautiful
children, one about six and the other
four years OF age. Before leaving Mr.
C. drew his wages from the c. l.. Il.
II. to the amount OF about 5000. lie
never said so much as Good bye" to
his vito or children, and leaves them
In destitute circumstances, besides
contracting debts In town to tile
amount Of several hundred dollars.
The Ascending ma did not assign
any cause to Ills wife for such n wilful
desertion. 1t Is believed by those who
know the facts In the case that a few
years ago Crow was possessed OF coll
siderable property which lie lost by
bad speculations, and since then he
has been morose and Indifferent 10 the
wants Of his family, and finally. to get
rid Of supporting them, concluded to
desert them and flee the country.
Among the astonishing products Of
Truckoe mentioned by u, to-day, may
be noticed the birth Of a 15-pound boy
to Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. Byrne. The
family are doing we'll, although con.
siderably astonished. For tall and
symmetrical pine trees, and large, heal
thy and beautifully developed imam
tile wonders. Meadow Lake Township
stands peerless and pre-eminent.
Transfers who have been engaged In
the wood and lumber business near the
Summit, are leaving for lower and
less exposed attitudes. They have no
desire TO be caught In n snow storm
which Is likely to put In an appearance
soon.

A very rich strike Is reported TO have
been made quite recently In the Con.
molly mine, situate adjoining the
Jinksvllle location In Fantall Gulch, a
branch of New York Canyon. Last
evening an offer Of 81, 500 In coin was
made by the Jlnksville Company 70,
the purchase Of three-fourths Of the
Connolly claim. and was refused. This
section Of the district Is one Of Its mos,
promising localities, AMI may be ex.
pected to yield handsomely as develop
rnents proceed.
We yesterday met a gentleman who
recently visited the new mining dis
trict of C%ornucopia. He Is OF the opin.
ion that the mines possess merit, but
thinks 1t will take some time to estab-
fish their real worth. Considerable
work Is being done on the leading
claims, and by next Spring 1t will be
known just what the new camp
amounts to. Our informant thinks
that will be time enough to 60 there.
The Excelsior mine, belonging to
tile Silver West Consolidated Com.
pany, continues to improve In appear
ance. The new tunnel, which will
tap the ledge some distance below the
present workings, is already In over
one hundred feet.

From the Record Of September nj

From the Record Of September nj i
Yesterday morning a sad accident
occurred. Three young gentlemen
went out OF town some distance on the
Highland road, to practice shooting
with n Henry rifle. When they had
reached n point opposite to the rayine
In which il situated Lawson's slaugh-
ter house. about a quarter OF q mile
west Of the Record office, they placed
target on one end Of a wood pile
about six feet high. This wood pile is
on the opposite side Of the road from
the slaughter house, which Is about
800 yards dl.tant from 1t. The target
was placed OH the end of the pile OPP
posite to the ravine. and the marks
men went out towards the valley
about $50 yards. After they had been
firing for some time one Of them went
up to the target for some purpose, and
whilst there he heard a man groan.
lie went up the road towards the
slaughter house, and found a man,
who said he was shot, lying BY the
roadside. The young man called his
companions, and the three took the
wounded man to the slaughter house.
His name Is Charles Horton, and was
employed by Eliza Lawson. He had
been sitting In the door Of his cabin
when suddenly he felt that he was
shot. He arose aud attempted to walk
Into town but after having come
about 80 yards, he became exhausted,
and fell by the wayside. The ball en-
tered tho back OF the left thigh, and
penetrated a distance OF seven or eight
inches, ranging downward. One OF
tile three unfortunate marksmen hur-
rledly ran Into town, aud procured q
conveyance, and the wounded man
was taken to the County Hospital.
The wound, which Is a very painful
one, has been examined aud Is pro-
nounced to be dangerous.
On Sunday night, In the shaft of the
Amador Tunnel, an accident happened
to John c. Bsstlen. He was on the
2I2.foot level. aud was going down to
work on the II o'clock shift. There Is
4 bucket attached to each end Of the
rope which Is raised and lowered by
means Of a windla.s. Bastlen stepped
Into the bucket which vas to take him
down ; but the bucket at the other end
Of the rope had been detached. una
wares to either Bastien or the wind
Eastman. and down went the bucket
through the dark shaft to the bottom,
seventy feet below, at u terrific speed.
Windlassman Cotton, when he COM
pretended the situation. seized the
rope, but it slipped through his hands
with u rapidity which nothing could
stop. However, though the rope WIS
burning his hands aud tearing the
flesh from his fingers, he held on TO
the last-and a long time, indeed,
those tow seconds seemed to hlm-and
succeeded In partially breaking the
fall Of his fellow workman. Bastien
was hoisted to the top In n s~enselcss
state. and conveyed to his cabin on
McCannon street. DR.. Bergstein was
called, aud he examined the injuries,
which are severe but not serious.
There Is a shallow cut OH the left side
Of the back about ten inches long, and
the calf OF the left leg Is badly mashed
up. Bastien was sleeping when our
reporter visited him, and 1t 10 expect
ed he will soon recover.
