supposed Burial Alive of Young Lady
Near OkOnoka.
Romney Review: Quite sensation is at
present existing on the Levels, near Okono'
ka, in regard TO the burial Of Young lady
The impression which now prevails is that
she was buried alive The facts are stated
as follows: The young lady, whose name is
Mary Cox, was living with family near
the mouth Of Little Capon, and, being taken
sick, they called in Dr. Kirk, Of Paw Paw,
who administered, among other remedies, a
dose of morphia, and left another dose to be
taken in twenty.four hours, but, for some
or other, the : second dose was given
short time after the departure Of the
physician and in little while it was report
ed that Miss Cox was dead. The people
who came in, not knowing what had hap
pened, made the necessary preparations
and she was buried two days afterward.
One LADY, however, insisted that Miss Cox
was not dead and begged that she be not
buried The strange part OF the affair Is
that the night after the burial, the dogs OF
man living near the burying ground, dug at
The grave and made quite noise all night,
and c. me very near unearthing the body.
Now that the people have learned the cir
cumstAnces, It is the general impression
,rhat the Young lady was really buried alive.
Il is stated that an investigation will follow.

LoSDoy, February ssl2.-Lord Wolseley
telegraphs again to day from Korti to the
Government that no reliable particulars
about the fate of General Gordon have yet
been received. He assures the ministry
that the press reports have all been based
on rumors aud states that these rumors
were collected by Colonel Wilson's party on
their return down the Nile from the futile
attempt to reach KhartoUm.
In addition to these statements Lord
Wolseley informs the government that the
Mudir Of Dongola and all the natives there
abouts persist in the belief that khartoum
has not vet fallen. Colonel Wilson, how
ever, is positive that there is little or no
doubt on this point Lord Wolseley him
self hopes to receive in few days specific
and reliable information concerning the
situation at Khartoum and the fate Of Cor
don from trusty spies whom he dispatched
up the Nile for the purpose Of ascertaining
the exact facts. These messengers are eX'
pected soon to reach Korti on their return.
