THE MASSACHUSETTS BONANZA. - The
Boston Advertiser, which devotes a column
and half To divers and sundry "loies, {"
..claims" and companies in connection with
the Essex minirg region, says:-Every item
that finds its way from the latest known
mining section of New England into the
moving stream OF news, points TO an immi-
grafton TO the regions near Newburyport
during the coming spring and summer as
odd and great in proportion as that which in
spired Bret Harte's lecture. Yet even at this
early period In the undevelopei history ofthe
Newburyport mines. there are many indica-
tons of the swindles that will be, of the
money that will be lost through speculation
in worthless land or by the sudden death OF
bogus stock compar les, and of the chicanery
and deception, the levers by which a1ven-
turerS move their measures. II certainly
does not seem as If there could be any possf-
bic doubt but what underlying the land for
many miles in and around Newburyport are
mineral deposits, rich in silver, lea1 and
gold. Outcroppings, and undoubtedly gen
uine specimens OF galens, rich in a percent
age OF silver, have been found in many differ
emf places throughout that section that would
indicate veins of difiereRt length and direc-
tion-a sort of titles to the chapters of Essex
mining that are inevitably to follow.

AN ENTRAoRDINAEY SUIT.-A suit is now
in progress in the chancery court of Louis-
VILE, KY, which, from the prominence OF the
parties concerned and the extraordinary
character of the issues involved, has created
a very decided sensation there. The late II
u. Newcomb. for many years president OF the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. was mar
ried twice. His first wife became insane and
killed two OF her children, and has since been
an inmate OF the Massachusetts General Hos
pital for the Insane. Several years ago Mr.
Newcomb procured a decree of divorce, and
was afterwGrd married to a young daughter
of wealthy and prominent citizen OF Louis
Vile; by whom he had two children. He die1
last summer, leaving property of between one
and two millions. Oae son by his first wife
survived, and Is practically the plaintiff In
the suit, although it is brought In the name
OF the first wife, making all legatees and
trustees OF wills defendants, aud is brought
10 declare the second marriage null and void,
the divorce, il is claimed, having been ille-
gal. The effect OF a decision in favor of the
plaintiff will be 10 declare the children by
the second wife illegitimate. Able counsel
have been employed on both sides.
