A SUDDEN DEATI.-A correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch writing from
Philippi, WA, Jan. %. gives the follow
ing account of the death of Virginian:
Capt. J. Il. Bankhead died an untimely
death in our town on the night of the Goth.
He came here from Virginia, and is thought
to have lived near Cuipeper Courthouse.
Captain Bankhead was here locating the
G.. and G. railroad through this town, and
had been suffering for a few days with
structure. When the doctors were called
in they found an operation necessary. and
before they looked to see it he had any to-
bacco i'll his mouth or Wore false teeth
commenced giving him chloroforn. His
false teeth dropped into his throat. and he
struggled hard to get his hands to his
mouth, doubtless to get his teeth out, but
they were held down. His strangling
showed that something was wrong. when
it was found that his false teeth were in
his throat. When they were taken out
efforts were made to revive him, but they
were unavailing, and he died In a few NM
utes. The sad occurrence has cast a
gloom over our town. as Captain Bank
head was favorably known here. The
railroad men have made every effort to
communicate with Captain Bankhead'S
friends in Virginia, but without success.

We learn from the Wytheville Enter
prise that last week two young men, Lloyd
Walton and Thos. Vernon were sleeping
in a room where there was Il coal-stove, in
the residence of Mr.. Anthony Ewald. who
was absent and the young men remained
in the house after night to protect it. On
the morning of the oath groans were heard
coming from the room-the door was bro
ken open and Walton found to be dead
and Vernon nearly so. from the effects of.
gas escaping from the stove. Every effort
to revive Walton proved Intellectual. Yer
non was i'll fair way to recover at last
accounts. The deceased was about q
years old. and from New Jersey. Vernon,
was about 26 and from Wytheville. They
were both exemplary young men and high
ly esteemed by the entire community.

The Dynamite Explosions.

The fearful explosions in the English
Houses Of Parliament on Saturday last,
represent the extreme to which fanati-
cism may be carried. 1t would be unjust
to accuse the Irish people of these insane
acts. The oppression which England has
practiced upon her Irish subjects. merit
almost any reprisal that could he visited
upon the oppressors, but they do not offer
the slightest justification for All altempt
to Unfortunately slaughter innocent

has exhausted every lawful eXpe'lipnt to
obtain simple justice. 1t is II ir hat she

no part of the scheme of Parnell it
can secure no sympathy from those who
look anxiously to the day when justice

The fear and anxiety which HOW be-
set the British Government at home and
abroad will excite little sympathy among
those who have marked the c.ilse of
events in England for past ,lrcades.
With an iron hand she has made her power
felt upon weaker nations. No insult has

With reckless disregard of lifr All liberty

The Inter State Commerce bill and the
Nicaragua treaty are occupying the at
tention Of the Senate. There is not much
probability of the former becoming law,
as the Reagan bill, originating in the
House and adopted by that body, is an
tagonized by the Cullom bill, which
differs materially from the House
measure. The Senators from Virginia
are in favor Of legislation in the direction
of this bill, but the senior Senator, Gen.
Malone, does not think the root of the
matter is touched by either of the pending
measures. He contends that the neces-
sary provision should be engrafted that
would enable a person at any station, how
ever obscure, to purchase ticket and have
his baggage checked to any point in the
United States-that there should be such
imperative regulations governing all rail-
roads as to compel them to make their
schedules conform one With the other and
reciprocal arrangements entered into so
that the public would be accommodated .by
having the privilege of purchasing tick
ct and having baggage checked from the
point of starting to the destination, with
out being forced, as now, to re-check on
different roads and purchase tickets en-
route. There is not much probability.
however. OF any measure of this kind be-
coming law this session. There are con-
fiicting views about the treaty with Mica
raugua, and no one is wise enough to fore.
tell what will be the result of the vote
when taken, although the predominant
feeling is that it will be adopted.
