SAN FRANCISCO, November S.-A dis
patch from Yuma reports a severe shock
Of earthquake to-day.
A ,,'ecial from Virginia City SAYS the
mining situation Is encouraging, the water
being reduced and rebuilding going on
briskly.
San FRANCISCO, October "a Calf
special from Virginia City, says: At pres
ent 1t is impossible to state the loss OF life.
Two men were killed Oh c street, by a fall
ing wall, and there are numberless rumors
of other casualties. Hundreds Of families
are homeless and hungry. The school
houses, the only public buildings left, are
open to them, but if immediate relief is not
extended, great suffering will ensue. Bitter
demonstration reigns in the city. Men,
women and childred wander about the
streets seeking shelter. The surrounding
hills are dotted with camp fires. Few sa-
looms remain, but the supplies OF liquor
have not been lacking. The streets are
alive with drunken mob, and the military
are patroiling the city Tor the protection
Of property.
The feeling on the street this morning il
better than yesterday, and there is less dis
position to magnify the disaster. Contra
dictory reports are still floating about, con-
corning the fire in the Ophir shaft, some
protesting to believe that the damage is
known by insiders to be much greater than
admitted. The most authentic informal
tion, however, il that the shaft has suffered
no material injury. 1t is reported, on APP
parently good authority, that the new
hosting works Of Lady WASHINGTON mine,
which are similar to in power and pattern
to those Of Consolidated Virginia, will be
set up on the latter mine without delay.
Consolidated Virginia will pay s. dividend
for two or three months, until under head
way again. No definite advises have been
received yet rs to the extent Of the damage
to the several mining properties involved.
The total loss by the tire is now placed al
from $1,000, 900 to S4,OOO,OOO
Dispatches received to-day give further
particulars OF the Virginia confagration,
confirming previous reports as to tine extent
Of the calamity. The scene during the
progress of the fire is beyond description.
The wind blew = gale, driving the cinden
and fire far in advance OF the burning
buildings, and rendering all . temp,s to
check the progress OF the fire futile. Gun
powder was freely used to blow up build
ings, and frequent heavy explosions shook
the earth. The roof of the Catholic Church
was blown 100 feet in the air, leaving the
bare walls standing. By O'Clock, =. M,
| the excitement was at its highest. The
streets were filed with people team
sters were struggling through the fire,
lighting at presentahle points women

HIGH PRAIRIE, Nov. 8, 1873.
EDITOR TMEs The friends Of Bond for
Sheriff worked at the polls here all day
trading off any or all the candidates on the
Republican ticket for vote for Bond. The
disafected Democrats in large numbers
openly voted for Bond in return for Repub-
lican votes for Democratic candidates. The
feeling against eonard in this town is very
strong, and Bond is indebted to the De
mocracy of this place for = big vote. A
large number of Republicans voted for
Leonard for Sheriff, and many more
scratched, refusing to vote for Sheriff at all.

PETRIFIED HUMAN REMAINS.-We are in
formed that on Friday last the graves of Mr..
aud Mrs. Kidder, at Eddington Pond, were
opened for the purpose of disinterring and
removing their remains to another locality.
Mrs. Kidder has been dead for eighteen years,
while the body of the husband was committed
to the earth forty three years ago. Owing to
the length of time which has elapsed, it was
not anticipated that anything more than dust,
or few bones at most, would be found.
Greatly to the surprise of those present, on
opening the grave of Mrs. Kidder, who was
over eighty years of age at the time Of her
decease. her body was found as perfectly pre-
served and the features as natural as on the
day of her burial. Her hair had grown to a
considerable length but the last vestige Of her
graye-clothes had disappeared, leaving solid
petrfaction, not unlike marble, of a grayish
tint Proceeding next TO the grave of MI.
Kidder, the side of the other, it was found
that, although nearly half century has
passed since he was numbered among the
living, his body had also turned to stone, of q
deep, rich brown color; but, more singular
still, while all the clothing had disappeared
from the body of his wife in eighteen years,
his body still retained portions of the cloth in
which he was dres sed for the last time, forty
three years since. In digging for this body, no
trace Of the box or coffin was found, and the
petrified remains, of which only the upper
part of the skull and portions of the feet had
disappeared, lay IN several inches OF water.
When first reached, the workmen supposed
they had struck a stone of so ne kind, and the
weight of the body-so remarkably showing
Natures intervention to prevent the ordinary
processes of decay-was so great that three
men were required to lift it.-BdRgor Wing.
