 MR. EDIToR:-The sad, sad news which the telegraph flashes to us today from your far western town of the death of Mrs. Aggie Loring causes many hearts to mourn.
 As innocent as the rills that flow down the mountain-sides of her native State--as pure as the waters of the deep placid lake by which she played in childhood. This in nocence and purity of her Soul could no more be hid than the snows of winter on this earth of ours. It made itself apparent to all whom she met, shone forth as stars shine forth against dark blue sky, and drew people towards her. She was a favorite wherever she went. She could have no enemies. She ever had such tremulous solici- tudc for others: others could but love her. She timidly shrank from even the breath of blame," yet was bold to face duty, never taFrying to entertain fears or doubt.
 When duty pointed its finger Westward across the continent over weary leagues of land to a new home in a strange land, called for her to quit old associates for new, to leave the old places her memory clung to, bid home and all its loved ones fare well, 2 last one it might be, as in decd it was, she hesitated not, but went. 'I'is true the course thence no longer lay by the fever laden streams, dangerous defilcs of the isthmus-but the parting was just as hard, and at best, two or three weeks constant journeying Is an arduous undertaking for a woman quite unacquainted with travel, with an active, never-Iuiet child in her arms yet she cheerfully under took it. There she made many friends, and there she died in the fulflment of her womanhood.
 When such souls leave us, it is the worlds loss.
 They go but their memory can never leave us. That, the world keeps and all who knew them claim  inheritage in it. Untrammeled ii moves among us an unseen force for good, bcgetting other like forces and making the world better there by. As waves move outward and onward from a centre in increasing circles, so such influences move ceasing when? Only on the shores of Eternity.

The Golden star Mine and Mill.

The Golden Star Mine and Mill.
 ON Sunday last Mir w B. Hellings Supt. Golden Star Mine, came in from Cave Creek, bringing a number of samples of ore from the late rich strike in the mine. The ore is very similar in character to the old Vul- ture, though said by experts to be much richer. This lot presents a beautiful appearance. being plenti- fully besprinkled with free gold all over the surface, in mining parlance it would be termed prime free mill ing rock. It is on exhibition and can he seen at the store of X. Goldman
 MT. Hellings reports everything pro- gressing favorably with the Compny's mill, he has had sixty men employed working shifts day and night, until the present week. Grading of roads and all outside work now being fin ished a considerable reduction of the force will be made, carpenters and machinists only being retained. With no unforeseen delay the mill will be running Sept 25th-then look out for bullion. We are not in the habit of prophesying but we make predic- ton right here-the Golden Star mill and mine will prove a greater and more decided success than any min ing enterprise yet started in the Ter ritory. MT. Hellings informs Us that when their tramway is completed the ores can be milled and mined for less than 8 per ton-something almost incredible in this country-Yet posi-. lively SO. Wood only costs 8 per cord. With milling thus reduced to the minimum, and having thousands of tons of ore in sight with every ia cility for working, the Golden Star Company has advantages that no other Company has yet had in Arizona. As the Company will start up without one dollar indebtedness, the stockhol ders are sure of dividends from the very start. All the stock is held i'll Philadelphia, having been bought al the bed rock price of s per share We wish MT. Hellings and the East ern investors unbounded success.

 AFTER the convention was over last Monday. Charlie Clark found himself one of those chosen to take trip up Salt River. But he didn't care-nO, he just went to his little Blue Store, took down his guitar and was soon producing selections that drew a large and appreciative audience. Assisted by F. Howard Peck, they favored the company with selections from the latest operas. From the applause we judge the treat was enjoyed.

SINGULAR SCENE AT A FUNERAL.-Mrs
Walter Dixon, of Patterson, New Jer-
sey, died last Saturday morning, and her
body was placed on ice. Monday, while
the preparations for the funeral were GO
ing on, her husband, who was mourning
over the body, Suddenly began to en-
brace it, and joyfully declared that his
wife was not dead; that her hand, which
he had been pressing, was still warm.
The face of the corpse was soft and of a
roseatte tinge, and the two sons of the
woman, sharing their fathers belief, at
once embraced the body with every ex-
preston ofjoy. The physicians, how
ever, who were at once summoned, de-
cided that the woman was dead beyond
all question, declaring that having been
packed in ice for forty-eight hours would
have killed her if she had not been dead
before. II required, however. much per
suasion on the part of the friends pres
ent before Mr.. Dixon and his two sons
would consent to have the ceremonies
proceed. Mrs. Dixon, it appeared, had
expressed fear of being buried alive,
and had exacted a promise from her hus-
band not to bury her body until he was
entirely certain that she was dead. AT
the grave he demanded to see the body,
and the coffin was opened. After feeling
of her hands and face he at last consent
ed to the burial, but as he turned from
the coffin he fell to the ground insensi-
BILE. The body was buried, ard Mr..
Dixon was removed to his home. He is
still of the opinion, however, that his
wife was buried alive.

PANIC IN A CnURcH-MANY LIVES
Losr.-A most terrible and heart-rend-
ing scene occurred at Lynchburg, Va,
on the night of the 10th ult., on the
occasion OF a marriage ceremony at the
Court Street Colored Baptist Church,
which was packed to its utmost capaci-
ty. Some falling plaster alarmed the
crowd, who supposed the house was fall
ing, ana becoming panic stricken, there
was a general rush to the doors and
windows. Many were either trampled
or smothered to death or badly wound
ed. Others Jumped from the second or
third-story windows to the ground, by
which it is supposed many of the casu-
ates were caused. The dead bodies of
ten women were taken out. About thlr-
ty were severly wounded, some of whom
will die. Many others were only slight
ly hurt,
