The Flames of IEtna.
PHENOMENA ATTENDING THE LAST ERUPTION
OF THE sICILIAN VOLCANO.

PHENOMENA ATTENDING THE LAST ERUPTION
OF THE sICILIAN VOLCANO.
A correspondent Of the London Times,
writing from Naples. gives some interest
ing details OF the eruption OF Mount Ktna
"At Reggie and Messlna showers OF sand
and lapilli fell. But so dense was the
cloud OF smoke and fine ashes in which
the mountain was enveloped that ever ut
the foot OF Etna, only occasionally, when
there was an opening in the cloud, a
vast column of fire could be seen ascend
ing from the principal crater. The OBJ
security, however, in which everything was
involved served to render the scene more
alarming. The eruption commenced oh
the night OF the Goth OF March, and from 8
O'Clock in the morning till O'Clock on the
following morning ninety-twO undulating
shocks OF earthquake were felt. They con-
tinued after that time, though with less
violence, till, on the night Of the 22d
two terrible shocks were felt at NicO-
losi, and another on the night of the
23d. II would appear that this great
commotion was the prelude to yet
greater eruption, and, indeed, eleven new
mouths were opened above Nlcolos!, which
vomited forth sand, scori1. lapilli. and y
dense smoke with fearful roarings. The
activity Of these mouths i not very great,
which Is regarded as an indication Of vel
greater disasters. Many famllies nave
abandoned the points most threatened, as
Nicolosi and Belpasso; but those who re-
main sleep in the open air, ? nd the troops
who have been sent are or gagged in erect
| ing tents or breaking down walls and
houses that are in danger OF falling.
Great eXertions are made /, keep the peo-
| pie from the churches. VIII ell ON the Oc-
casion OF such awful events ave always sure
| to be crowded. A sense OF security is felt
within these sacred buildings, though
there are no places where there L. =. eatel
insecurity. Happily. no human victims ar,
reported up to the 23d; and this may be
| explained by the fact that the shocks o.
earthquake occurred principally by day
when people were on the alert. But mucl
damage has been done to property. In
some OF the small villages on the middle OF
the mountain houses have been thrown
down, and Il little chapel at Macchia
has fallen. At XaIfarana six houses
were ruined and the facade OF
the church; while the barracks OF
the Carbneers were assured. Other
churches and houses are reported to have
been damaged, but ii would be an endless
task TO note all. Wherever buildings are in
dangerous state orders are given TO de-
molish them directly. Further intelligence
is anxiously expected; for though there
was short cessation OF the shocks, and
people is some places were resuming their
usual occupations, the mountain was dis
charging It's contents abundantly, and no
one could say that the danger was entirely
| removed"

ln Avoca. Murray county, Mimi, few
days ago the body OF a murdered woman
was found buried in stable. Ii was iden.
tilted as the remains of Mrs. A. Bengtran,
VINO in August last was killed by her hrs-
0and. Bengtran, after committing the
murder and circulating the story that his
wife had run away, cut his throat with u
razor. Mrs. Bengtran's best garments
were missing at the time, but were found
hidden In the walls OF the barn. The
cause OF the murder was domestic trou-
bles. A revolver was found hidden IN the
cellar with one chamber discharged, and
large bullet-hole was found In the back OF
the woman's head.

A Snnthwest Virginia MERCHANT On
the Time or Holding the state Fair.

PULASKI COUNTY, Ma, April II, 1891
To the Es7itor Of the Dispatch 'o'ii','s "
Feeling d deep interest III al, tilt per
tains 10 the welfare OF Richmond. ] pave
observed with pleasure the efforts being
made by the Fair authorities and The b'isl-
ness-nieh OF Richmond 70 make the next
Fair grand success, and to make Fair
week an enjoyable decision TO visitors to
Richmond. In a recent ISSUE OF the Dis
patcL read with regret that October Slst
IMd been designated as the openlng-day,.
Il Il not o mistake TO delay until all
the OTHER agricultural societies OF the
State have held their fairs; until Balti-
more anu other cities have had their
Orioles, &c. until the country merchants
have an .'laid in" their fall stocks,
and people generally are worn out with
Fairs? Why Is it that so few OF your
Southwest Virl nia merchants come to our
city during the Fair, is a question i nave
often heard. Let me answer, Because your
Fair is held at least four weeks too late IN
the season. Our merchants visit the mar
kets from the 1st of September to the 10Th
OF October-neverl later. Ifthe Fair should
be held during the first week OF October.
this section Of the state would he we'll
represented; but il amonth later venture
TO predict that there will not he dozen
visitors from the southwestern counties.
I write this merely to call attention to what
appears to me to be a great mistake. But
il the iobbers Of Richmond are willing to
contribute largely to make the Fair attrac-
tive and are content with the little picay I'M
ish trade OF November Fair, it ought not

The postmaster at White Oaks
received a supply of thenew postal
notes which can be bought for any
amount not exceeding 81, 80. A
fee OF three cents is charged for
each note. If you want to buy a
note for 20 cents, you pay % cents.
The note can be sent in a letter
and is payable to bearer, so there
will be no trouble whatever in
getting them cashed. They are
good for three months after the last
ofthe month in which they are is
sued. The tee is three cents for a
note Tor any sum from one cent to
$4.99. They + more handy for
currency than postage stamps, and
will probably come rapidly into
use.

CIV 'b ihNt lNNNt VIZ btWtll
met Messrs. +. 4. Wall, G.. B..
Barber, & W. IL. IIudegns, at
Jacques Spring, for the purpose of
watching a survey to be made in
twp. 8 south, of range 8 east, by
U. S. Deputy surveyor Shaw, in
the interest of 7. B. Catron.
Two days were spent in the sur
vey; 81 miles of line were run.
The result very clearly demon
strates the accuracy OF the surveys
made by Messrs. Jewett, Blanch-
ard, and Mcdonald, in the same
township with q view of locating
jacques Spring.
Two lines were found upon tho
$. side Of the township, one, anci-
ent, poorly marked, and not cor
responding with the field notes
from the southeast corner of the
township west. The newer line,
properly and perfectly marked,
corresponds in all it's distances,
with the field notes of the town
ship, corresponds with the range
line from which it was, in accord
ance with the regulation run, and
with the original subdivision of the
township.
The section and quarter corners
fthe old line, are about Is chains
east of the place called for in the
field notes, and somewhat south of
the same. The original survey by
Mr.. Barber, run with entire hon
esty no doubt, was made from
these erroneous corners, and his
line from the south was not check
ed by closing on the range limo on
the east side of the township.
Had this been done, the error
in the old line would have been as
manifest to him, as it now is. Mr..
Shaw's survey, retraced Mr.. Bar
ber's old line, and attempted to
close the same upon the north
line of the township, and on the
range line. On two occasions the
party overrun the range line about
Is chains, the amonnt Of the origi-
nal error. Discovering the true po-
sitlon of the range line, about noon
Sep. 4th, the survey was abandon
ed, and the parties returned to
town.
1t has been alleged in opposit-
Ion to the Jewett and Blanchard
surveys, hat land must be taken
in a. township in accordance with
the original survey, even if that
was erroneous. 1t is not necessary
to go into the question, as it ap-
pears that the Jewett and Blanch-
ard surveys, have been made in
perfect accordance with tho orig
inal subdivision Of the township,
and part OF Mr.. Hudgen's corners
+ the original subdivision cor
ners. An excellent reason for the
failure of previous surveyors to
find Interior corners in that town
ship, is that being deceived by the
incorrect old south boundary of the
township, they were never upon
the lines wheroon subdivision cor
Ter were to be found.
