A Shocking Occurrence.

Miss Addie L. Bussels daughter of Capt.
J. N. Bussels, of Lancaster county, in this
State, came to her death last week III der
very distressing circumstances. She was
preparing to leave home to finish her edu-
cation at the Virginia Female Institute
in Stanton. Though SO young, she was
already engaged to be married to Mr.. Geo.
Skinner, of Baltimore, who was paying
her visit at her home. He was to have
left for his home that dag, and asked her
for some trinket to remember her by in her
absence. AS she took it from table draw
er to give him, he saw a note lying by it
addressed to young gentleman in Baltl-
more. A jealous quarrel ensued. Miss
Bussels went straight to her room and
shot herself dead with her fathers pistol.
The lover who WAS yet in the house was
the first to reach her room, but only to
find her in the agony OF death. There was
nothing In the note which caused the
quarrel and which on examination proved
to have been written some months before,
to excite any jealousy. The Tapp 'tanncck
Index" from which VIZ gather these facts
says the deceased was 4 young Ia ly great
ly admired and beloved. but of an exceed
ingly sensitive disposition.

A NEW CUSTOM FOR FUNERALs.-Rev
staunton, who left very little popularity
behind HIM in the memory Of his congre-
CATION, is now pastor of The Bethel, col
ored chapel in New York city. He has IN
troduced the custom of mourners, at fune-
rails taking place in his church, wearing
their hats during the funeral service in
church. He informs the New York people
that this fashion ''orisinated and still
prevails among the colored people of the
South. We rather suspect that the custom
originated in the imagination of the rev
erend gentleman himself. No such custom
prevails among the Virginia colored
people.
