Workmen were engaged in mine, at Little York, with giant powder. One of the explosions hurled a piece of rock about the size of a hen's feet to a house where there was a little girl about six yeurs of age playing On the front pore. The mi:nile struck the child on the head, and produced a scrious fracture of the skull. A physician was called, who had to remove two large pieces of the.skull bone which were , found prossed tightly down upon tbe brain. After this operation the child’gained eonsciousness, and on Thuraday there were streng hopes of its reevery.

The fact that all the money he was known to bave in hig possession when he left Truckee, was fuuud ou his person, shows that if the deed was dune by others it was certainly not done fur bis money. There were also some wounds on his furehead, wh th many believe could not have been wade by the train, cousidering the position in which he lay, and it would—appear impos-. sible for a man to tie himself to the track in the mannerhe is described to have been lying. All sorts of theories ure afloat, some thinking be attempted to get on tbe first section of Nu. 9, and fell across the track in such # mauner as to render him insennitle. The engineers and firemen are all positive tbat he was tied to the trick, which wonld indicate taat foul play had beeu commiited.

The New York Tribune says: ‘Exchunges report the devastations of .be bent all over: the country as nneqtalled even by the Summer of 1872. The mortality, especially among children, under five, is increasing. The Summer diseases were never so futal in their attacks; the -drouth bas burned ap such crops as Were still standing. Already the markets of the cities shuw the scurcity produced by the purtial destr ction of the veighboring truck farms from which tuey are supplied. People begiir to feel that something ought to be do e if we are to live in this ‘climate, or at least live out our allowauce of years We have only wakened up_witbin a few years to the conviction that there is no cli mate in the world so exigeast in its demands on life avd strength. [u Northern Russie, where the éofd is more rigorous than in thé same latitudes elsewhere, the mean temperuinte is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a steady equality iii the cold. The Russian, his furs, thick. walled house, «ud double doors, knows what to expect. In Duiazil, below the eqnator, although no .sueh~ heat us that from which we ave suffered during the last month is endured they bave every uppliance for reudering it more tolerable, Onur houses, cluthes, and food are proporticued to an even, teniperate climate, while the thermometer ranges: from 104> in July down to. 6> below zero in December, with a freqneut rise or fall of 40> in 24 hours. It is_no woudcr that, with this tremendous strain om ovr brains and nerves, cerebral and neural diseases increase Lere from year to year with a fatal rigor aukvown elsewhere. : Now what cun be done about ii?

The fact that all the money he was known to bave in hig possession when he left Truckee, was fuuud ou his person, shows that if the deed was dune by others it was certainly not done fur bis money. There were also some wounds on his furehead, wh th many believe could not have been wade by the train, cousidering the position in which he lay, and it would—appear impos-. sible for a man to tie himself to the track in the mannerhe is described to have been lying. All sorts of theories ure afloat, some thinking be attempted to get on tbe first section of Nu. 9, and fell across the track in such # mauner as to render him insennitle. The engineers and firemen are all positive tbat he was tied to the trick, which wonld indicate taat foul play had beeu commiited. Two men were seen within 100 yards of the scene of the disaster, leaning against a post and looking toward the place he was ran over, and we would like to kuow their business there if they had any.
