SUDDEN DEATH.-Alr. William +. Hender
SOD, son of the late John t. Henderson. died
very suddenly carly this morning at his late
residence corner OF King and Alfred streets.
He was unwell yesterday and took a dose of
blue mass, but in the evening had improved so
much that he went to Washington, returning
on the midnight train. On his arrival home
he complained of pain in his side, a not uu-
usual thing for him, aud had mustard plaster
applied, and went to sleep soon afterwards, but
never walked up again. At haf-past five o clock
this morning his wife was awakened by his
groans, though he was sleeping and, apparent
ly, breathing easily. Between seven and eight
o'clock, noticing the strange expression his
couutepauce wore, she became alarmed aud
called across the street to MIR. Richard Avery,
his brother-D-law, who, as soon as he saw him,
sent for DIR. Lewis, but when the Doctor ar
rived, which was almost immediately. he pro-
nouuced him dead. HIS death, it is supposed,
was caused by heart disease, as for long time
past he had ut intervals complained of pains IN
his heart. Mr.. Henderson was merchant,
and member of the Common Council two
years ago. He leaves a wife, three children,
aud a large circle of relatives, friends and ac
quaintauces who will regret to learn of his sud
den death. He was a member Of Washington
Lodge of Masons, who will attend his funeral
IN a body.

In noticing "Rcmarkablc Phenomenon in

to say that it was also seen in this city, with
countless moving figures, constantly changing
places, apparently. One seen more distinctly
than another was the likeness Of the late W III.
G. Norris, formerly Of Warrenton, now dead
some four years. On the plains Of South
America, aud especially in the region called
tie Banda Oriental l., C., Eastern Belt,
this phenomenon is often seen, rejecting OBJ

hundred miles, and is known as Mirage, a
French word, and is in reality mirror Of na-

AChiId Buried Alive.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Enquirer.
LOUISA COUNTY. Aug. 5-Festcrday ii
young man named Dickinson, while hunting IN
the forrest adjacent to the upper waters OF the
"Newlonud, in the lower cod of Louisa, heard
the scream of an infant. He proceeded to the
spot from whence the noise cmanated, and on
reaching the place he found an infant, appar-
entity not more than few hours old, partially
buried, and shrouded in an old slat bonnet. The
Supposition is. that the burial would have been
much more complete and etfcctua, but the
sound of approaching footsteps and the scream
of the infant deferred the fend from the coul-
plete performance of his diabolical end. The
child was taken up and carried to a peighbor,
ing house. where it was washed and provided
with wet nurse, and is doing we'll. Every
effort is being made to get some clue or ink
ling to this atrocious crime, and the county
officials, who are on the trail, will no doub ere
the setting Of another sun have the intorma-
tion they need. The child has white parents.

President Grant has written letter to Gov
Ogesby, of Illinois, decoing to deliver the
dedieatory address at the Inauguration OF the
Lincoln Monument, at Springfield, on the
18th of October. He says that placing him
self in such a position would be so foreign
to his usual wont that he feels himself unequal
to the task. He hopes that the association will
select some man to deliver the address who
will meet the expectations of the nation, and
who can do justice to the memory OF the man
iu whose honor the monument is erected.
