llenrico county, upon entering the Grand
Jury" room of the county Court House,
corner of'Twenty second and Main street,
was appalled to discover the bod)-of Col.
G. A. -pdulding, a well known member
of the Bar of this State, sitting stiff in
death upon one of the court room bencliCB;
Every surrounding appearance tend - I to
the conclusion that a wilful and premed
itated murder hud been committed. The
deceased was a liian of considerable legal
I'ttnintaonts. During the war bcoceupied
the position of lieutenant colonel in the
Confederate cavalry, and served with
distinguished gallantry in many of the
most memorable battles of the war. Of
kite Col. fipauldiiig has fill. n in very
bad habits of dissipation, and was ulnio-t
continually drunk, thought be was never
known to offend any one, and generally
sought this room, which was rarely kept
locked, as a refuge in which to sleep off
i bis deep potations.
He was last steh on Wednesday, and
it seems be that nightsough this customa
ry refuge in the court room. Tho mur
derer must have crept in through a back
window and struck Spaultling a mortal
blow with some dull weapon, likealicavy
cane. His skull was crushed open, and
the blood had flowed ouL n great quan
tities, covering the entire ace and mak
ing a considerable pool upon the Hour.
At the time of being struck he was seated
on a bench in a corner, and the deadly
blow prevented him from rising or from
moving more than outstretch one arm,
which fell paralyzed at his side and rest
ed against the bench.
There were no evidence; joany strug
gle having taken place. Spaulding was
not known t, have had an enemy in the
world. The Coroner this evening em
panelled a jury of impiest and removed
the body to the city Morgue, when to
morrow ji full and searching investigation
into the facts bearing upon the case will
be made.

leaves is a sure cure of kitleny difficulty.
A plaster made of frcab slack lime and
fresh tar is a sure cure for a cancer, which,
with till its roots, <vill come out. A lea
made of chesntit leaves, drank in the

made of ripe or dried w hortleberries, am!

however bad.
A Crew Suffocated.
About .six o'clock in tbo morning a
colored stevedore, who wns to take the
ballast from the German bnrkantinc
Adolph, went to the old Wilmington and
Weidon depot warf, at Wilmington, Del.
whero the Adolph was lying,and, finding
.no one up on board the vessel, he aroused
the mate, who was sleeping in the cabin,
and signified his readiness to proceed to
win',. The mate repaired to the fore
castle, where the sailors slept, to wake
them up, and after he essayed to gel the
doo^bpen, but in this he failed, and final
ly wrenched it off its hing?s. lie entered
the.forecastle and was at onco compelled
to leave, as the gas was .suffocating. En
teriug again in a few minutes, he found
two of the men dead in their bunks, and
three others with the spark of life nearly
extinct. One of the men, the carpenter,
was found out of bis bunk on the floor,
whero it is supposed he fell while, attempt
ills to make his way out ( f bis sleeping
ajoartment.
??ssistan. e was immediately called,and
tw5 three men who were yet alivo were
taken out und placed on deck, to receive
all the benefits of fresh air. While the
3By? dead men were being etil from their
winks messengers wi re dispatched for
Physicians, and in a very few minutes
[Bur physicians were by the side of the
fflhfortuuate men and doing all in their
(j?o\vcr to relievo them. **
i Before the physicians arrived the cook
h lud about 18 years old, one of the un
fortunates who were taken out alivc,dicd
|; Upon ex .initiation of the stove in the
rgalley, which is separated from the sea
pen's bunks by only a thin board parti
tion, a very large crack was discovered
Across the top, and it is supposed that the
bj&jS,evolv'd from the burning coal es
caped through it, and worked its way
through tlic* cracks, reams und crevices of
the partition into the forecastle.
The vessel left Richmond about one
week ago. While in port there n supply
of the Richmond coal, which is bitumin
ous, was laid in. and had been used since
the departure of the vessel. The men
were all very much fatigued. The vessel
had leaked on thevoyago from Richmond
to this port, und the crew were complete
ly worn out In their labors before retiring.
It is supposed that for some purpose the
cook went into the galley and kindled the
coal lire, unaware of thi danger from thv
efl'eets of the gas in a close room.

take five pieces of inch board, each ten
feet long, one eight inches wide for the
bottom stiip, and each of the others four
inches wide for one end upright, und one
piece eight inches wide for the end piece
where the hinges ought to be. These
strips are four feet long, that being high
enough for any gate for ordinary pur
poses. Now lay down your end pieces;
then place tbo eight inch wide and ten
feet long strip for the bottom; uni! it at
j each end to the upright with wrought
noUs. Now take llired of the four inch
wide strips und jay tliohi oh parallel with
the bottom otic, dividing tbo spaces so as
to leave four inches cct .vcen the lower
two bpards, und six inches each space be
twei n the upper ones; nail as before.
Now turn the gate over, and take the re
maining strip, lay it at ail angle from the
bottom, at the hinge etui to the top of the.
large end; cut it .so that it will lit in and
lay close to the long strips; nail it. Now
hung the gate with strong hinges, und

Any person can put lognthcr and hung

above plan of a gate i> certainly very
simple, but we have seen some in this
vicinity tont we prefer. In these the j
whole gate is made of* inch boards from j
three and a half to four inches wide, two
pieces being for the hinge post, five feet
long, and the sumo for the latch post, with
a single piece to be placed at two-thirds
of the distance of space from bingo to
latch-post, properly braced and all put
together with bolts and taps to screw up.
The advantage of tho bolt over the
wrought nail is that if any part of tho
gale should get: broken, by unscrewing
the taps and taking the bolts out, any
part can be renewed without doing injury

merciful Justice.
The widow Ciepin was a washerwoman
at Vunvcs (Department of the Seine).
Her husband had died during thp Com
mune; she had but one child left of ten,
a boy six years of age. These losses had
reduced her to a state of nervous depres
sion. She was constantly in dread of
losing her employment, and, indeed, hav
ing been seized with illness, ran into
debt, and, at length, was told^ by her
landlord, to whom she owed three quar
ters rent, that she must leave her lodging. |
She then resolved to put an end to her
own Hfo and that of her child; and, hav
ing dressed herself and ihe little boy in
their best clothes, lighted two braziers of
charcoal, lay down with the child and
awaited death. 'Ihe little fellow died in
the noddle of the night, but tho mother
could not die. When she found that she
was alone in the world, she lit more char
coal and now fell confident of approach
j ing release; but hour after hour passed
by, and she still lived. She kept the
neighbors away on the pica of illness for
thirty-six hours after the child's death,
und then, worn out by the horror of bcr
position, let them in, and showed them
the corpse of her son. The unhappy
woman was tried for the murder of the
? child, but the jury were so overcome with
pity for bcr sufferings, that forgetful of I
of their uuisox d'etue, they acquitted
her, in absolute disregard of the potent
fuel that tho . had taken, her son's life.-!
This yerdict is described by a French,
journal as "merciful justice."
Cloths on Fire. ]
Three persons out ef four would rush
light up to the burning individual and
begin to paw with their hands without
any definite aim. It is useless to tell the
vielem to do this or tlsat to call for water.
In fact, >f is generally brst not to say a
i word, but to seize a blanket from the bed
\ar any woolen fabric?if none is at hand,
take any woolen material?bold the cor
ners as far apart as you can, and stretch
them out higher than your bead, and
running boldly to the person, make a
motion of clasping in the arms; mostly
about the the shoulders.?This instantly
smothers the fire and saves the face. The
next instant throw the. person on tho floor.
This is an additional safety to the face
and any remnant of flame can be put out
more leisurely'.! The next instant immerse
the burnt part in cold water, ai>d all pain
will ca.-i> with the rapidity of lightning.
Next get some common flour, vemove,
from the water, and cover tho burnt parts
with an inch in thickness of flour, if pos
sible; put tlio patient to bed and do all
thai is possible to soothe, until the phy
sician arrives. Let the flour, iemail]
until it falls off itself, when a beautiful
new skin can be found. Unless the
burns are (jeep, no other applications are
needed. The dry flour for burns is the,
most admirable remedy ever proposed,
and the inforina .iou ought to be imparted
to all. The principle of its action is,
that like water, it causes instant and per
fect relief from pain by totally excluding
nil tli j air from the injured parts.?
.Scientific American.
LooKixts Into Death's Eyes.?The
power of the eye is most strikingly illus
trated by the fact that when two bodies
of infantry meet in a charge of bayonets,
the front'rank, on one side or the other,
ahmst, invariably gives way directly the
bayonets are crossed; that is, before the
cold steel enters the body of either party.
The front ranks give way, the rear ranks
are generally broken, and a rout ensues.
The dreadful passion and fixed resolve
in the.eyes of the front rank on one side
overpowers that of their antagonist,
w hose hearts fail before them. Calcula
tions have been made to supersede this,
by tho order that each soldier's bayonet
shall not take the man directly in front
of him in the enemy's ranks, but the next
man to the left. A systematic mutuality'
of reliance was thus provided for,and the"
effect of the enemy's eyes superseded. It"- (
was a horribly clever idea. But in vain;,,
