At a acientifio congress at fitraabarg it was reported that of I sixty aix persons who had suddenly died, an immediate ' and ' faithful postmortem showed that only two persona bad ' any heart affection whatever one sadden death only in thirty-three, from dieasea of tbe heart. 271ne out cf sixty died of apoplexy one out of every seven; while tort J-flx more than two out of three died of lung affection, ball of them congestion of the laags, that Is, tbe lan gs were so fall of blood theycould not work; there was not room enough for air to ret In to support life. It is then (of considerable practical interest to know some ot the common every dsj causes of thlt congestion of the longs, a disease j which, tbe figutea above being true, kills three times as many persons at short warning as apoplexy i and heart disease together. Cold feet, tight shoes, light clothing, costive bowels sitting sUll until chilled through after having been warmed np by Labor or a long, hasty walk; going too suddenly from a close, heated room, aa a lounrer or listener, or speaker, while the body ia weaken ed by continual application, or IftDstmence, or nested oj a long dress; these lare the rightful causes) or snaaea aea. a iu iue .orm I of congestion of the lungs; but which, being, falsely, reported aa disease of the heart, and regarded as an Inevitable event, throw peo ple off their guard instesd of pointing them to their true causes, all of which are avoidable; ana very easily so. aa a general rule, when .the mind has once been Intelligently drawn to the subject.

City op Mexico, July 3L On last Tuesday, at 6 o'clock in the morning, an explosion of a powder magazine occurred at Mazatlan. A whole (square was blown np and many families were buried under the rains. About CO bodies have been recovered. ; ' An accident occurred at tbe station of the Guage Bailroad here to day by which four persons ware killed and ethen iajartd, Hie Sea mf Galilee, This lake is also known ia the Gospels as the Bea Tiberias and Gsnnesareth; and In the Old Testa ment as the Oea Cbennereth. It is about thirteen . miles ia length, and six In breadth;: and is formed by tbe Jordan, which traverses it from north to south; and then flows oa to the Dead Sea, aixty mtlea south. In many respects a great change baa taken place since the time of Christ. Then the shores were filled by a teeming population; towns smd Tillages crowded the banks, and boats swarmed on the waters. Now the only ramsiniog town in Tiberias, a city in ruins, contains about two thousand inhab itants, and wretched and filthy to tha last degree. Initead of a large fleet of fishing boats, only one vessel can now be found on its waters. The round bills that come boldly down to the sea are sow bare of trees; and though covered with m delightful verdure after the winter rains, become parched and desolate under : the 'summer sun. The lake lies embosomed in a deep basin, more than three hundred feet below the level of the Mediter ranean, ana enclosed on all sides. except near the inlst and outlet of tba Jordan, by hills that rise steeply hundreds of feet in height; while in tbe ba;k ground on tbe east aide are mountains a thousand feet high. The range of heights strstching around the aea itself ia broken by occasional shady ravines and water-courses, and here and there is separated from the aea by a level and exceedingly , fertile plain. In one of these , plains Capernaum used to stand, but now it has wholly disappeared.. Far away ia tbe north Mount Herman lifts it snow-capped crown to the sky, with tbe majesty of a summit, that has looked down on the com ing anil going of a bnndred gener ations. The region of this sea bears marks of volcanic action, and hot springs still exist on the shore south of Tiberias. The waters still swarm with fishes as in tbe days of tbe Apostolic fishermen. A recent American traveler, while out upon the sea, encountered a tempest like those encountered in the Gospels, sodden, swift and violent, it swept down on tbe sea from tbe upper bills, and threw it into commotion as in a moment. He was nnable to make headway against it, and was driven over the coast of Cioiaxenee. - 1 Peculiarities of Great Tim. Aaron Burr always forgot ! to return a borrowed umbrella. Charlemagne al way a pared hia corns In the dark of the moon. Byron never found a button off his shirt without raising a row about it. : : ; Homer waa extremely fond of boiled cabbage, which he invaria bly eat with a fork. i ; , Napoleon could never think : to abut a door after him, unless! he was mad about something. Pliny could never write with a lead pencil without first wetting it on the tip of his tongue. Socrates was exceedingly fond of peanuts, quantities of which : he always carried In his pocket. Tbe Dake of Wellington coold never think to wipe his feet on the door mat, nnless his wife reminded him of it, George Washington was so fond of cats that he would get up in tbe middle of tbe night to throw a boot jack at them. Shakespeare, when carrying a codfish home from the village gro cery, would invariably try , to conceal it underneath bis coat. ! When tbe wife of Gallileo gave him a letter to mail he always carried it round in bis pocket three weeks before he ever thought of it agsin. Christopher Columbus alwsys paid for his local paper promptly, and being an attentive reader he always found out when new worlds were'ripe. . . j Adulterations. j The adulteration of i food and medicine has attracted the atten tion of the State Board ot Health, and Dr. Thos. F. Wood,- Secretary of the Board, has issued a circular letter to the physicians in tbe State requesting tbem to assist in the detection of adulterations. He enumerates soda, saleratus, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar, milk, butter, liquors, floor, &&, aa also paregoric,' laudanum, quinine, oplnm and auch drugs as are usually old for domestio ue. ; Dr. Wood uggesta.tbat packages of articles where adulteration may be suspect ed be made np and forwarded to Prof. Dsboey, at Chapel Hill, for analysis. The Land Bill in the Bouse of Lords. LoitDOlt, August 2. The Daily Hexes says it is settled that the debate on tbe second reading of the Land Bill will be concluded by the House of Lords to-night.

Sunday last Jordan ; Thompson, colored, cut a white man with a razor and fled. He was pursued by oQcersr who, on his refusal to .mender, shot bin dead. The XZiaiana IZailicay. The CAaffom Record says . The railroad question has been the exciting topio of conversation in this community for the past few dsys, and our. people are greatly elated at the prospect of having a railroad to pass through our old town. The surveyors have been busy, running the experimental lines, and their presence here has stirred up quite a railroad fever. The surveying party consists of Col. Fleming Gardner, chief engin eer; .u. u. .uatta, transitman; A. Shorter. Caldwell, leveller; E. A. Eobina, draughtsman; W. J. D ran, 'transit rodman, and George HcGehee and Howard Haywood, chain carriers. Col. Gardner is an engineer of great experience, having been on the survey of the N, O. Bailrosd : thirty years aco. and is thoroughly posted as to his duties, although outsiders are kind (t) enough to annoy him by contin ually making suggestions as to what he ought to do. His assis tants, are skilled engineers and clever gentlemen. Our citizens offered them a publio dinner, which was declined as it might interfere with their work. The surreyors left Goldsboro on the 27th of June. Their route intersects the N. C. Railroad near Jfrinceton, crosses the Reuse river at Turner's bridge (two miles from 8mithfield,) intersects tbe B. & A, A. L Road between Merry Oaks and New Hill, and crosses Haw river nesr Moore's mill at the month of Bo be rt son creek, and np the valley of said creek to this place, passing through the north ern portion of our town, just above the postoffice. The total distance from Golds boro to Pittsboro is 76 miles, and a railroad can be built at a small expense, as but little ."grading will be; necessary along 'most of the route, and the first twenty miles from Goldsboro is a straight ' line. The surveyors are now running the line bet ween here and Asheboro. Beautiful Sentiment.

Shell Exploded ning. bu Light' On the 20! h iut during a sud den thunderstorm, a lightning bolt struck a large pine tree in a field belonging to Mr. S. G. B. Faulkner, who resides nbout eight miles from Bicbmond, Va. At tbe time Faulk ner and a number of bands were working nesr by. The report was sharp and shocked several of the men. Mr. Faulkner noticed that tbe tree was set on fire by the lightning, and sent bands to clear away the brush to prevent tbe fire spreading to bis fencing. About twenty minutes atter tbe tree was struck another loud and deafening report was heard in tbe tree, and on examination it waa ascertained that the fire had communicated with a shell which was lodged in tbe tree during the war. Tbe tree was somewhat shuttered from tbe explosion of this old companion, and the bnshes near by were cut down by tbe fragments. No one knew of the bell being in tbe tree. This is a most singular occurrence, and probably tbe first where a shell was exploded by lightning. mistakes. It is a mistake that tbe more hours children are at their studies tbe faster tbey learn. That the more a person eats tbe fatter tbey get. That tbe more exercise and more water taken tbe better the health. That time Is gained by robbing sleep. That the smallest room in tne honse Is large enongb to sleep in. That tbe poorest room in tbe honse is good enough to live in. That children have no right. That alcoholic liquor is beneficial. That wit justifies fraud. That it is not right to psy for I your newspaper. 17mrMct9tcn Centennial T7t. tng or Committees at Ilien.

W. Busick, of thia county, who Bince the war has been Begis ter I of Deedsl was I one of the soldiers that started with the litter that bore Gen. Jackson off the field that fearful night at! Ghaucellors- ville. !As a historical incident from so worthy a source Mr. Bu sick's version of the affair is wosth giving. He says thac Jackson was not-Hhot by bis own men. He was lying that night by the road down which tbe yangees were sweeping wuu cuniBier sou iniooie wueu Ged. Jtckson crossed the road and was shot. His aid called out, and Busick was ran to bim. ot the litter one of the men that He carried one corner as they went through where the men were the; woods, lying so thick that he stepped on a man's i leg and the fellow pulling his leg away tripped j bim np and he fell, auotber soldier springing up and taking his place at the litter. They evidently thought he was shot, audi history . so has it, that' one of the men! at the litter was shot down. Bntj not so. Mr. Buttick: was that man. In bis opinion that Jackson was not shot . a - 1 ! - . l by ma own men oe is oorne out uy many other old soldiers who were present. Mr. I Robertson, near Pelham. in Caswell i county, was lying on that road and had his gun barrel bent by a shot from tbe same charge hat swept tbe road just' about the time that Jackson was killed he sprang into the woods. ReidsviUe Time$. Dark Clothes and Disease: J I h I It may not, perhaps, be known that a man wearing dark clothes is more liable to infection fro to contagions disease than be who wears light colored garments, because particles which emanate from diseased or de caying bodies are m itch more readi ly absorbed b dark khan by light fabrics. 1 Thisiis easy of proof. Ex pose a light add dark coat to the fumes of tobacco for five minutes, and jit will be! found that the dark one smells stronger than the other of tobacco smoke, ar)d it will re tain f the odor longer.
