GREW THE WooD FOR HIS CoFFIN.-
a remarkable story is told of the late
Caps. Stone, Of Moundsyille. who was
buried at the beginning of this week.
Thirty FIVE years ago he came from New
Orleans to Monndsville to make his home,
and brought with him two seeds of o
mahogany-like tree that fourished near
his former homo. These he planted, re-
marking to his family that he would
have his coffin made fs0m the tree. One
of the seeds died, but the other flourish
ed and grew. From shoot it became q
sapling, and finally, Il; the course of
thirty years, grew to me tree, About
eight months ago severe wins, storm
passed over Moundsyille, and Captain
Stone found his tree laid proatrate. tie
had it dried, sawed into lumber and sent
to q pittsburg firm. In short time it
was returned to him in the form of a
beautiful coffin, snd for four months it
was preserved in his residence. Abont
two weeks ago he contracted sickness
that eliminated in his death, and his de-
sirs being fulfilled; he was laid. away In

since grown or rubbed very smooth. On
his back there are one or two scans
which look as il they had been made By

of exhileration. At last che reached her
destination and left the coach. After

COLUMBUS, June 9.-The Board OF Di.
rectors Of the Penitentiary have issued the
following order: That all orders hereto.
made allowing contractorsa credit OF three
months be and are hereby revoked, and
that from and after July lst, 1870, all said
contractors will be required to pay into
the State Treasury on or before the 18th
day OF each month all dues for convict
labor for the preceding month.
The custom Of giving time 10 contractors
has resulted disastrously 10 the State. The
Directors believe that the low rates paid tor
convict labor should be settled for prompt.
ly. This action will also materially lessen
the risk OF loss to the State. At the com.
menCement OF the fiscal year there were
accounts in the hands OF the Attorney
General for collection amounting 10 nearly
$4,000. A portion Of this amount has
been collected, but there still remain ac'
counts outstanding due the State amount
ing to upward OF $4,000 for convict labor
which was secured at very low rates. The
present price paid for convict labor ranges
from 40 to 20 cents per day per man, the
average being 4S cents per day.
