Post : One day, while I was in the country, I said to myself, as I dropped the newspa. per : " Ah ! my old friend Peter has gone at last." For I observed in the obituary notices the following_ e Died at Milton, N.J., on the 5111 inst., in the 50th year of his age, Peter Umfree, late of the city of New York. His funeral will take place on the Gth inst., at 10 o'clock a.m., at the Presbyterian church on Eleventh street, New York." As the name of the deceased was an un- usual one, and as his age and, the church he attended were as above stated, and as 1 knew also that my friend was spending the. summer and fall in that part of New Jer- sey, I was satisfied that the Peter Unfree above-named as having departed this life was my old acquaintance, and tic . I could not attend his funeral I determined to pay a visit to his widow and family as soon as I possibly could.' Accordingly,onthe7th.lwent to his place of business in tbis city,ex- pecting to find it closed, but to my aston- ishment and mneter was busilyit was engagedopen in lt.

It hap- pened to me that I attended my esu funeral services ; for, noticing the adver- tisement, I thought I would step over to the church, and when I walked up the middle aisle, the ceremonies being nearly over, uiy appearance seemed to frighten everybody. I tools a seat i.e a pew where there wan a young lady ot my acquaintance, who tried toget away as far as she could from me, and I said: ' Mary, don't you know me ?' ' Yes; said she, "but I thought you were in that coffin and that sou neat be a ghost.' However, she because satisfied of ray vitality, but looked at me with WW1 - dozing eyes," As my friend Peter was generally known in this oity and the neighboring plaees.iiuite a number of his acquaintances attended the obsequies, and three of time trona Brooklyn went to the church, and, standing in the vestibulo,lseend the clergyman speak of the mother of the deceased, and one of theta paid: "There must be some mi,;. take, as our friend lost his mother years ago; bowever, wo will go in." As ie usual, on sueh occasions, the congregation were informed that they could view the corpse, and ou doing so onb lady said to another. "" Why, that is not the face of our departed friend," to which was replied: "Oh. you know, death makes a great change in the looks of a person."

If we are to believe the highly colored reports sent out from Prescott, Arizona, :a gold mine "richer by far than anything ever discovered in the world" has just been developea ten miles from that point.. We are told that the pure gold clings to the rooks in scales and can be taken off by the handful, and that two men in less than au hour secured $800. And further, the report says that theore averages 0,000 per ton: Before any young men of Wil- mington pack their satchels and prepare to hasten to the Hassayampa River gold fields we would suggest that they await further developutents and fuller particu- lars of the new Eldorado to which people are said to be flocking in great numbers.

There are such things as salted mines slid gold mining companies that sell thousands of stack not worth the paper on which their lying words are printed. Of course it is a great temptation for an ambitious )(inner man to start out from home with a large gripeack containing his old clothes, with the expectation of throwing away the old clothes in a few weeks and returning with the gripsack so heavily laden with gold nuggets that an express car has to be chartered. Such dreams of gold have flitted through the bead el every' ;;oung man, and some, old ones, too, and will as long as time is. But how many young hien of your acquaint- ance have started west to make a fortune in a few months or years lase succeeded except by hard work at some legitimate businesa? How many men do you suppose come from the gold mines laden down with the precious stuff? Not many. There are exceptions to the rule, but the chances of becoming a rnillioneiro by rushing into every new gold field that is opened are just about as good as is the chance of drawing the capital price in a lottery. If you want to hasten to the anew: geld fields of the llassayawpa River, young men. heed our advice. Take with you half a dozen pairs of good, stout comfortable walking epees in addition to your regula r equipment.

Clews That TOW* Brought :Criminals to It is a curious fact that those who .have committed crimes are vefy frequently ar- rested with the evidence upon them, writes a London correspondent. Lefrey, who killed Air. Gold on the Brighten railway some years ago, was discovered with the old gentleman's watch in his boot. Often, too, is it some article of personal apparel which brings about a conviction. Frain Muller, Lefroy's predecessor, who killed Mr. Briggs on the North London Railway, wore a straw hat with a lining haviug a broad blue strip edged with black. and white. This he left in a railway car- riage, and many of our readers will remem- ber how, little by little, the structure of evidence, of which this straw hat was the foundation, was built up. Iu is recent burglary in Dublin the thief was arrested on suspicion founded on one or two very small links.
