Ya., while the bells were: sending forth their joyous peals and tips glad songs of praise were ascendingintaj the Lord of Life, in the heart of our city and in the very temple of justice, a crutt and cowardly murder was perpetrated and the author of it litis so far so suce.es, fully covered up his track that suspicio, even is at fault, ami conjecture can !Vain< no possible theory of the cau.se of th ' crime. About one o'clock today Henry A ikinsonv' CotpnVonw;(j|i; lrs^norne\f of Henrico county, upon entering the (irund Jury' room of the county Court House, corner of Twenty second and Main.street, was appalled to discover the body of Coll; G. A. -pdulding, a well known member of the Bar of this .State, sitting stiff hi (loath upon one of the court room benches. Kvery surrounding appearance tend ? 1 to the conclusion that a wilful and premed itated murder had been committed. The deceased was a man of considerable legal attainments. During the war he oc cupied the position of lieutenant colonel in the Confederate cavalry, and served with distinguished gallantry in many of the most memorable battles of the war. Ot late Col. Spauldir.g has iV.l.n in very ba?l habits of dissipation, and was almost continually drunk, thought be was never known to offend any one, and goncrally sought this room, which was rarely kept locked, as, a refuge in which to sleep off bis deep potations. He was last sten on Wednesday, and it seems he that night sough this customa ry refuge in the court room. The mur derer must have crept in through a back window and struck Spaulding a mortal blow with some dull weapon, like a heavy cane. His skull was crushed open, and the blood had flowed out n great quan tities, covering the entire ace and mak ing a considerable pool upon the floor. At t he time of being struck be was seated on a bench in a corner, and the deadly blow prevented him from rising or front moving mora than outstretch one arm, which fell paralyzed at his side and rest ed against the bench. There were no evidences jonny strug* g'.c having taken place Spaulding was not known t; have had an enemy in the world. The Coroner this evening em panelled it jury of inquest and removed the body to the city Morgue, when to morrow a full andsenrchingi.nvcstigation into the facts bearing upon the case will be made.

En terjuc? ni'ain in n few minutes, he found tw< of the men dead in their bunks, and three others with the spark of life nearly extinct. One of the men, the carpenter, wan found out of his bunk on the floor, where it is supposed he fell while attempt ing to make his way out < f his sleeping ajiartnicnt. #AssistaiKC was immediately enlled.and tffi? three men who were yet alive were Jtft*ken out and placed on deck, to receive |sl the benefits of Iresh air. While the ttyo dead men were being cut front their winks messengers were dispatched for physicians, and in a very lew minutes -!iur physicians were by the side of the ill fortunate men and doing all in their *i>wcr to relievo them. " I Before the physicians arrived the cook n lad about 18 years old, one. of the un fortunates who were taken out alive.died - Upon ex .munition of the stove in the galley, which is separated from the sen men's bunks by only n thin board parti tion, a very large crack was discovered across the top, and it is supposed that the ga>scvolv?d from the burning coal es caped through it, and worked its way through the cracks,scums and crevices of the partition iiito the forecastle. The vessel left Richmond about one week ago. While in port there a supply of the Itichinoiitl coal, which is bitumin ous, was laid in, and bud been used since the departure of the vessel. The men were all very much fatigued. The vessel had lenken on the voyage from Hichniond to this port, and the erewAvere compleio Iy worn out b\ their labors before retiring. It is supposed that for some purpose the cook went into t he galley and kindled the coal lire, unaware of thi danger front th-H effects of the gas in a close room. -? ?V- ? -Ca? ? - Ghoap Gate. The old practice of buihling.farm gates with heavy four-by fourscantling for posts and end pi ccs, and oak board riveted together, tenanted, etc., causing an ex pense of from $o to So a gate, and an everlasting trouble to keep the gate, when hung, from swugging?1 long since aban doned. As a substitute, and as forming a gate has never sagged for ten year, 1 lake five pieces of inch board, each ten feet long, (.or eight inches wide for the bottom sttip, and each of the others four inches wide for one end upright, and one piece eight inches wide for the end piece where the hinges ought to be. These strips arc four feel long, that being high enough for any gnt^o for ordinary pur poses. Now lay down your Piid picees; then place tho eight inch wide and ten feet long.-trip for the bottom; nail it at each end to the upright with wrought nai's. Now Sake three* of the four inch wide strips and lay lliom oh parallel with the bottom one, dividing tho spaces so as to leave four inches cctivcen tho lower two boards, and six inches each space be tween tho upper jihs; nail as before. Now turn tho gate over, ami take the re maining strip, lay it at an anjglofrotn the bottom, nt the hinge end to tho top of the large end; cut it so that it will fit in and lay close to tin' long strips; nail it. Now hang the gate with strong hinges, and you have a ^atc that is light ami will not .-wag. nudjustas pcrfcetjprotcetion against cuttle us one made by tin; joiner, and costing as named above, from to ?0. Any person can put tognthor mid hang the above named gato in two hours. Tho above plan of a gato is certainly very simple, but we have seen some in this vicinity that we prefer. In theso tho whole gate is made of inch boards from three and a half to four inches wide, two pieces being tor the hinge post, live foet long, and the same for the latch post, with j a single piece to be placed ut two-thirds of the distance of spucc from bingo to latch post, properly braced and all put together with bolts and taps to screw up. The advantage of the bolt over the wrought nail is that if any part of the gale should get' broken, by unscrewing the taps and taking the bolts out, any part can be lenewed without doing injury, I to other parts.?Ohio Farmer, merciful Justice. The widow Ciepin was a washerwoman at Vanvca (Department of the Seine). Her husband bad died during thp Com | mune; she bud but one child left often, 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 fcized with illness, ran into debt, and, at length, was toldA 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 Hlb and that of her child; and, hav ing dressed herself and the little boy in j their best, clothes, lighted two braziers of charcoal, lay down with the child and awaited death. '1 he little fellow died in the middle of the night, but tbo mother could not die. When she found that she was alone in the world, she lit more char coal and now felt confident of approach ing release; but hour after hour posscd by, and she still lived. She kept the neighbors away on the plea of illness for thirty-six hours after the child's death, und then, worn out by the horror of her 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 her sufferings, that forgetful of of their mnsox d'etre, they acquitted her, in absolute disregard of the potent fact that sho . bud taken her son's life. This verdict is described by a French, journal as "merciful justice." Cloths on Fire. ] Three persons out wf four would rush light up to the burning individual and begin to paw with their bands without any definite aim. It is useless to tell the i vielem to do this or that to call for water. I In fact, ?t is generally brst not to say t? J word, but to seize a blanket from the bed for any woolen fabric?if none is at hand, take any woolen material?bold the cor ners as, far apart as yon can, nnd stretch them out higher than your bead, and running boldly to the person, muke 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 (lame can be put out more leisurely. The next instant immerse the burnt part in cold water, and all pain will cease with the rapidity of lightning. Next get some common fiour, vetnovo, from the water, and cover the burnt parts with an inch in thickness of flour, if pos sible; put the patient to bed nnd do all that is possible to soothe, until the phy sician arrives. Let the flour, lcmain until it falls off itself, when a beautiful new skin can be found. Unless the burns are (Jeep, no other application* are needed. The dry flour for burns is the. most admirable remedy ever proposed, and the information ought to be ini par ted to all. Tbo principle of its action is, that liko water, it causes instant ami per fect relief from pain by totally excluding all tin air from tho injured parts.? Scientific American. Lookixc 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 bide or the other, almi st. invariably gives way directly the bayonets arc 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 tbo front rank on one side overpowers that of their antagonist, whose hearts fail before them. Calcula tions have, been made to supersede this, by 'lie 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; the eye of the weaker will only shimmer, and wavers betweeu tho two?'trembles for the midriff?and no doubt gives the; I I preference to the man whoso bayonctpoint is within a few iuebej of tho JV&tE ani^ f leu. Between tho two le generally fails,, or takes to flight. Tho siuglc-mindcd glare of the devil of war reflects the pre valent horror of the cold steel-point. It is remarkable, on examining the doad*>*?* bodies on a field of battle,'aft.:r there has been a successful charge of bayonetr, KW few have been killed by the point in chartriiio* tbursts.
