Died, October oath, in Philadelphia, GORDON
CLoYD KENT, eldest son of David c. and Lizzie j..
Kent, of Pulaski county, Va, in the 14th year of
mis- age
The circumstances connected with the death of
this dear boy were peculiarly distressing. He with
his parents, sisters ana large party of relatives,
lett home on the 6th full of joyful antcipstioRs at
the prospect OF seeing the wonders of The Centen'
NAL - and it remarked by several of the party,
none of US will more heartily enjoy the trip than
Cloyd," for he was very observsnt, and had fine
memory, and remarkable knowledge OF Geography
for one of his age. He became sick on the cars be-
tween Lynchburg and Alexandria but we all thought
mis- indsposition was but slight, and would soon pass
off He appeared much better the morning after
we reached Philadelphia, and he went to the Cen
tennial Grounds with the party, but returned al
hit much exhausted, and very feverish, and con-
tinued to grow worse till the seventh day, when he
gently p Assed away.
Ali mat affection could suggest and the skill o.
experienced physicians could DO, done to stay
the hand of disease, but in vain and we trust he Is
now safe in tAe fold OF the tender Shepherd.

Fire.

Yesterday evening about 8 O'Clock,
Mr.. Charles Chappell's cooper.shop, on
Houston street, between Elm and Pa
citic avenue, caught fire while he was
up town on business. However, he sus-
tanned II very slight loss, as the fire was
put out ty water carried in buckets
from two water-wagons thai happened
to be Just In that immediate neigh Dor
hood at the time. Mr.. Chappell can
not account for the fire in no way, than
that he had three boxes Of matches
laying in the shop, that must of been
scratched or struck of by tho vats rum.
Mug aroupd Ia the shop. He Is lucky
that It did not burn up, as IL is o very
dry old shell of house, and II started
oil good, would have burnt like one of
those prairie matches, The tire boys
were out ready for any emergency, but
there was little left for them to do, as
the flames had been subdued before
their arrival.

BADLY QUAsIiED.
me Case Of All Jonn.on's Trunk.

TAG hNf W All y
These are quashing times, and his
Honor, Judge Burford, Il, perhaps, the
"outquashingest" functionary that
ever figured in the tide OF time. II
the question could be perfectly brought
before him, His Honor would, without
hesitation, quash the ten command
ments, the Declaration OF lndepend'
ence, Washiugton's farewell address
or the life aud opinions 0f the educated
hog. A lew days since the case OF the
State W. one McCry, charged among
other things with the theft Of trunk
belonging to All Johnson was tried
The attorney for the defense moved
to quash the indictment because the
trunk was not properly described,
which motion His Honor sustained
giving ny reason that there are many
trunks ~ the trunk Of railroad, the
trunk Of - tree, the trunk OF an e'e'
phunt, etc. A new indictment was
obtained in which that trunk was
"most nightly described" IL was
charged on the indictment as being II
wooden trunk, bound with iron hoops,
which hoops are supposed by The grand
Jurors to have heen manufactured
either in England, or in Pennsylvania,

being then and there tied round with "a
rope, which said rope was half inch
rope, linear measure, anu was
thea and there hcmpen rope
the hemp Of which said rope was
made being Of Kentucky growth.
And said trunk was then and there in
disputably and according to the usual
human meaning OF the word trunk,
the trunk OF All Johnson, and not the
trunk Of railroad, nor the trunk OF II
tree, nor the trunk of All elephant, nor
the trunk Of IL steam engine, nor amy
other trunk, either in the heavens
above or on the earth beneath, or in
the waters under the earth, but was
then and there, neither more nor less,
but simply, truly, emphatioally and
without doubt, the trunk of All. John
son, bound with the irou hoops and
tied round with the hempen rope III
aforesaid. But in order that there
may be no mistake, the grand Jurors
p upon their oath do say that the famous
trunk as aforesaid had leather strap'
fastened to it by a. man whose name
was Smith, not John Smith, but Bill
Smith who IL now dead, God in hi
kind Providence haying removed the
. dear brother from our midst before
, any question could raise in regard t
the identity and description Of sale
