A Thing that did not Happen without
Some Ones Fault.

II is very clear, from the account given
by ono Of our reporters, that DR. WILLIAM
JAIN was placed in his coffin and that the
coffin ld was fastened down while he was
yet alive.
The laundering manner in which persons
supposed 10 be deceased are hurried OF to
the dead house also fully appears from the
detailed account which We published yes
tcrday The only excuse for the terrible
mistake in the ease OF DR.. JAIN appeared to
bc that other Instances of carecssness had
occurred
Mr. WHITE, the Superintendent Of tho
Morgue said to our reporter: 1T is not
long since my assistant came running to
me and exclaimed: Mr.. WHITE. there's a
woman that is not quite dead yet in one OF
the collins lust brought in"
Not quite dead yet'-as If it was some
mitigation Of the dreadful crime that had
been committed that she was pretty nearly
dead 1t reminds one Of the dreadful sto-
rles that have been related OF persons in the
time Of the plague, lying in state Of con-
sciousness but unable to speak or move,
while the undertal,ers assistants discussed
Ia audible tones tho question whether death
had already taken place on not.
1t is certain that such an occurrence as
this which has just taken place in the case
of DR.. JAHN could not happen without Gull
pabilty on the part OF some one-and such
a degree Of culpability, too, as should sub
ject the responsible person to indictment
and punishment.
1t is matter deserving the attention Of
the Grand Jury. II IS probable that the in
stances in which people are buried or cof-
fined alive are extremely rare; but it is hor-
riblc to contemplate the possibility of such
an occurrence.

This is the time when city people who

The young man who murders the girl he
loves because she will not marry him figures
very conspicuously in the records Of crime. As
a rule he attempts to take his own life also This
time the scene Of the tragedy is an Illinois
hamlet. Young CARNEY had been refused per-
mission TO sec Miss CuLLENBfNE. He gained
admittAnce TO her room. cut her throat. and
shot her. Then he shot her father and stabbed
her mother. and ended the dreadful deed by
cutting his own throat Both Of the young
folks are dead. The parents will recover. II Is
an interesting fact that insanity caused by un-
reciprocated love is OF that nercer type that
prompts TO murderous deeds.

In an elaborate paper on church finance

Ministers, Brother KNAPP OF Brooklyn spoke
strongly in condemnation Of the preva-
lent custom Of religious bodies Of run
ning in debt for their church edinces
" Better build chcapy and mcanly and own

There was a diversity Of opinion among the
brethren on this subject. Brother RHODES of
Brooklyn dissented thinking it wise to
have handsome church. which would at

son startled his hearers by declaring that he
regarded his church Us no more sacred than his
dwelling. and would ms freely use the one rs the

money for the church. Brother SPELMAN

Editors Richmond Dispatch:
Our people are all the subjects OF the
:: goid-fcvcr epidemic" which has been
raging in this community for the past sew
eral DAYS. The occasion for such is found
in the discovery OF the largest gold vein
ever known or worked in Virginia.
Believing that many OF your readers
would be interested in the particulars OF
this exceedingly rich vein, ] will give its
history.
A few days since our esteemed friend and
able Judge. D. w. K. Bowles, concluded to
prospect an old shaft on his premises, situ-
ated in the g gold belt0 of Fluvanna and
Goochapd, about three miles east OF this
place. After exhausting the shaft of large
quantity OF water, and digging four feet into
the earth, = tine "roofing" OF slate was
struck (Which miners hail with delight;
this being removed, the workmen came to
ore which surpassed their most sanguine
expectations. This ore is found at the
depth OF forty-eigbt feet, and at present
writing The miners have gone six feet three
inches into the vein without reaching the
lower" casing" and il is thought this will
not be reached under two or more feet.
Three or four tons OF ore have been raised,
and, from analyses made from various parts
of the vein by practical miners, it Is estl-
mated TO be worth from S75 to $3.50 per Ton.
This vein runs across the celebrated ielu-
rum mines, the shaft described above being
only ninety feet from the, line OF the proper
ty i.lst mentioned. AT the Tclurium is a
new and large miIl-houss. withall the latest
and improved machinery for saving gold,

men were in the forecastle at the time.
They got OH boards, chests. and damaged

two of them dived down and came up on
the outside through the companion-way.
One man, who could not swim, was left in
the forecastle; the other five fell through
into the water and were drowned. The two
who had got out dashed themselves on the
weather side Of the wreck, and were taken
off by the crew of pilot boat. They then
cut through the bluff OF the bow into the
forecastle, and took out the man inside
alive. One man who had lashed himself in
the rigging was left, the rol! Of the ship
having nearly cut him in two. Only three
OF the crew OF twenty were saved.

INTERESTING THEOLOGICAL QUESTION
A resolution was adopted in the Presbytc-
rian Synod yesterday which will throw
upon the General Assembly the alternate OF
affirming or repudiating the article in the
Confession OF Faith which declares the Pope
OF Rome to pc anti-Christ 1.-THE "man
OF stu and son OF perdition," etc. The
question has been raised as to whether con-
vert from the Roman Catholic Church can
be received into the Presbyterian Church
without being again baptized. When an
overture OH the subject was presented
to the General Assembly in 1875 1t evaded
the issue by referring the matter OF rebap-
tism to the discretion Of tie Church ses-
sions when case should be presented for
their action. The Synod OF Baltimore is
determined to press the matter to definite
conclusion, and the resolution was passed
by a vote of 81 to 43. Or course this vote
does notindicate the views Of the individual
members upon the article Of the Comics
sion OF Faith above referred to. The only
question presented to them was as to the
propriety Of sending up the overture

WILSON, VA, October S. 1878.
The season has been very favorable for
autumn work. Most farmers are done SOW
ing wheat, which Is little earlier than
usual. There is being m average crop
sown. The corn crop is not so good as last
year by ten to twelve per cent; neither Is
the quality so good, but the present crop
will not fall far short OF an average.
The food in September, of which wrote
in a former letter. has been q great draw
back to all farmers along streams OF any
size. A great deal OF fence was taken OIL,
and along New river the farms are not
fenced, and will not be for some time to
come. The destruction OF mill property
has been immense. Roads have been so
badly torn up as to greatly interrupt travel,
but the people have gone bravely to work,
and road repairs are being very successfully
made. 1t is difficult to estimate the loss OF
property in Grayson county, but am OF
the opinion it will not fall short OF Sl25,-
600. Such food has never been known to
the oldest citizens OF this country, and its
recurrence may not happen again in cen
tury. r. M. I.
