YEsrERDAY.-Thc hot wave pre-
dicted for yesterday was not on time,
and the temperature was a decided inn
provemcnt on that of the two preceding
Sundays. A northerly breeze prevailed
during the day, which with clear sky
rendered the weather pleasant. The
churches, though by no means crowded,
had larger congregations than on the
two previous Sundays. Rev. DR., Wal
kcr preached in Christ church, Rev,
Mr.. Woodson in st. Paul's, and Rev.
Mr.. Millen in the NJ. E. Church South.
Early in the night the display OF fire
works at River View brought numbers
to the hills overlooking the river, and
later many astronomically inclined
looked at and speculated upon the
planet Mars which glistened and shed
its ruddy light under the moon.

LEG CRUsHED.-George Washington,
colored, while at work this morning at
Messrs. +. A. Reed & Co.'s warehouse
receiving ice being discharged from the
schooner Ida G. Southland, had one OF
his legs broken by being caught be-
tween two blocks of ice. Washington
was standing at the end of the chute
and had just stopped block of ice. In
reaching to get hook he lost his bal
ance and before he could recover him
self another heavy block came sliding
down the chute. Washington's leg was
caught between the two blocks and
broken. He was taken into the ice
house where he was attended by Doctor
Brown and was subsequently taken to
the Infirmary.

THE PRINCE WILLIAM COURT
HoUsE.-As anticipated in the GAZETTE
the vote on the question of the removal
of the courthouse of Prince William
county from Brcntsville to Manassas.
resulted on Saturday in Il majority OF
about 500 in favor of Manassas. This
was the second vote, the first taken
several years since being against the
removal by majority of sixty. The
merchants, LAWYERS, and others OF tins
city, who have business relations with
the people Of Prince William, are much
pleased AT the change, as to meet them
on court days hereafter they will not
be compelled to take long stage ride
from Manassas to Brentsville. Most OF
the citizens of Prince William deal in
this city, and as they are good custom
crs and pay promptly their trade is dc
sirabie.

little else.

small children she Went 10 Pott'town to visit
her parents, Mr. and Mrs George W. Bush. On
Monday, at O'Clock, Mrs. Nanderslice sud-
denly tainted. A doctor revived her and she
apparently all right for several hours. As She
was about to retire she sat upon tie side Of
the bed. and at once became unconscious. Her
family thought she WAS dead. Dr.. Johnson
was called. He said the woman was alive.
He could not, however, bring her TO conscious
ness Her appearance was that of corpse,
and no one but physician could detect life.
For two days she lay as motionlcSs as block
of granite. apparently not breathing On
Wednesday she suddenly rallied, spoke Il few
words in a whisper, and Immediately returned
to her cataleptic state Since then she again
is seemingly without life.
What was the cause of this strange illness
no one knows Mrs. NandcrSlicc is % years
old, and her husband is a printer.

4 REMARKABLE CAsE-The granting of a
divorce to Ezra Park Foot, Of ST. Paul Mimi,

Philadelphia, has revealed a story similar i'll
