She at once pave the alarm to O.liccr Rrodhead, as above related. small c.iokinjr stove in the room and a defec tive flue are the probable causes of the death of the pnrtics. The room was a very small, ill ventilated one, and it is supposed that the gas from the Btove must have lillo.1 it, and produced suilocation. Coroner (Jrover was on hand and took a view of the bodies, and directed that nothing about the room should bo disturbed wntil this morning, at which time an Inquest will be held. Altogether it is a very singular case. N. Y. Tribune, 1st. Til R WORCES TER COAL-GAS CASE FURTHEB TAH TICCLAH? MYSTERIOUS CIRCVMPTANCES A MtJK DER AND SU1CIDK SUSPECTED. Frtni the livtlon Post, Deccmb-r 30. The citizens of Worcester were sturtlnd out of their propriety yesterday on account of the dis covery of the death of a man named Artemus Ward and wife, who resided at No. 01 Main street. The bodies were discovered at 7 o'clock yesterday morning: by the oldest ot tholr live children, who immediately went to the next door neiirhbor, Mr. J. 11. lta.ymoiv, and Informed him of the lact. The father was found partially lying on his bed, and the mother was dressed and lying upon the door near the bed. Word was lit once sent to the authorities, and in about half an nour Dr. Woodward, city physician, made his appearance, and remarked that the unfortunate parties niugt have bceu sulfocated from the coal gas, as there was a hot coal fire in the room. The windows were immediately thrown open, but all attempt to resuscitate the man and wile were unavailing. The bodies were cold in tho embrace of death, and of course it was impospiblo to tell how lon? hie had been extinct. In an adjoining room a servant cirl and to children had slept upon the floor during the night; but it appears that the coal gas had had no effect upon either ot them, although the two children, we were informed, wre taken with slight vomiting about the time of the discovery of the dead father and mother. The remaiuins children slept in an mper room, and escaped the influence of the gas. But the fact that the two children and tho servant jrirl were not seriously affected by the coal pas, and other circumstances which hung over the a (lair, would indicate that it wa3 the intention of some fiend in human form to poison the whole family. As it was, the perpe trator, whether living or dead, was parti ally successful. It was also discovered that some time during the night the woman was heard to vomit, which circumstance is a very suspi cious one. Other eminent physicians soon made their appearance in the room where the dead parents lay, among them Dr. O.Martin, who also agreed with Dr. Woodward that the deceased probably died from the effects of inhaling tho gas. But there are many theories advanced in regard to the matter, and nothing short of a medical examination of the bodies will satisfy the public, which is considerably excited over the matter. The character of the deceased, Artemus Ward, is not an enviable one, and that ef his wife is not above suspicion. Ward was a resident of Worct-ster for many years, and had always borne a bad name, lie formerly kept a saloon near the Foster street depot, and had the day before moved on to Main street, and yesterday was to have opened a saloon there. He wa a hard drinker, though not a vicious man, and had been in the House of Correction a number of times for offending the law? ot the Commonwealth; and bis open violation ot the drinking law bad attracted the notice of one of the State constables, who had but recently male out his papers of complaint against him for keep ing a nuisance. His wife (his second one, and considerably younger) is represented as having also been a quarrelsome woman. Ward and his wife had lived unhappily tosctner. About a year since she made an unsuccessful attempt to poison herself, and two years aeo, it is stated, she threatened to poison her husband if she ever caught him again in a state of intoxication. It was shown that she purchased a quantity of opium at a arturjnsrs, duiit. was not usea in tns affair, as it was lound yesterday morning in the original paper, and its weicht answered to th;.t procured at tne time. The woman was known to be an opium-eater, and it is coiectured that she clandestinely administered that powerful narcotic, or some other poisonous substance, to bcr nusband and to two ol her children. How ever, the whole affair is shrouded in mystery. PARTICULARS Of THE BURKINA OF THE "COMMON WEALTH" A PASSENGER BELIEVED TO HAVK PER IBHID. Prom the Warwick Bulletin, December 30. At 1 J o'clock Friday morning, about an hour and a naif after the arrival of the steamer Com monwealth at her dock, in Groton, the depot at that place took fire in the oil-room, as we under stand, lrora the upsetting ot a lamp. The flames spread with such fearful rapidity that tho whole ouuainp was in a ugut maze in a very snort time, and it was found impossible to check them. i ne aepot was a large iramo uuiiuing with a tar and gravel roof, and consequently very innammatle. So rapid was the spread of the flames, that there was no time to draw out any ot the loner cars rilled with freight, of which there were sixteen in the building, or even to save the empty cars, of which there were several waiting to be loaded. The nassenerer train had left at about J2J o'clock, and from that time until the fire was discovered the crew had been unloading the freight from the boat, which ou that trip was unusually heavy. Including the crew ot the steamer, tnere were about twenty five men in and about the dppot when the fire was discovered, but all their ellorts wore nower- less to cheek it. From tho depot to the edtre of me oock wnere me steamer lay, were two long covered eheds or passage-way's, throuerh which pasiicnguis aim ireigm passed irora the boat to tne cars, in an incredibly snort space of time tho hre had taken hold ot these, and through them the flames rolled down and spread their forked tongues out to wards tne devoted (Jonimonweallii. Captain Williams, who was roused at the first alarm. im. mediately got tho pumps at work, and endea- vorca to move tue steamer from tne dock. An attempt was made to turn her wheel, but failed tor lack of steam. The ferry-boat from Nev London crossed over, carrying at two trips tive nre engines irom tne city, wnieii were at omo set to woi k to subdue the flames. Meantime all the ellorts to move the steamer failed, as ir, was low water ana sue was Hard aground. Kortu nutrly nearly ail the passengers had left the boot, only a few for New London or Norwich remaining on board. Ot the latw wu J. Dielc iiiBon Uipley, of ibis city, who was known to have been on board and to have retired to his room a fchort time before the alarm was given, nothing has been heard of him finne, and thj paiuiul conviction that he was suiloeatod in trv ing to escape from tlia flames has become almost a certainty. Captain Willlimi9 wa with n'm until alter tho train let' tor 1'rovidence and Boston, whn both ret! mil. .As soon as it became apparent that the boat wits in dnnrer, Cuptaln Williams went to Mr. Hip- Ic v s h!ate room a. id nipped louuiyon tne door to arouse him. Receiving no answer to his mil, and not brl cving it possible that any one ooukl deep in the lunlst ot so much noise, he con cluded tlutt Mr. Liplcy and come out and gone on the dork. Afterwards when ho was outv ie of t,i slate-foOia on tho guard, directing the hose, he rapped on the windovot Mr. Ripley's room wita great violence, onrt caimc. mm, put receiving no aiiKcr, was con tinned m his opi nio;! (hut he was gone anhore. Indeed, Captain Williams firmly believed that Mr. Ripley hi 1 gone a"hoie, crossed the river and gon.r home to Mirwicn, until upon inquiry ni- nis mouiers house, here, Friday morning, bo found that nothing had been seen or beard ot bun. biucu thui no liomgs lnivo been had ot hlin, and the painful convn:;iou is forced upon ns that he came to li 13 deatn as we nave stated. The light upper works of t!ie steamboat as Mion flu the tlauies touched them blazed no like tinder, and in les-s tune tuan we are writing it. had spread tat he magnificent FaloousMndcaiiius, and wrapped ttiem lu me spiencior oi tonuaara- tion. It was impossible to save hardly anything trom the wreck. Mr. Samuel Carter, ol turn cuy. engineer, lost what wearing apparel ho had on board, and others of the officers and crew were equally unfortunate. The boat burned to the waters edge, the waikina-neam nnauy inning hirough the bottom, the boilers rolling oil' tiio guards, and the chimed hull of what u lew hours belorewajthe magnificent steamer, sinning at the dock. The loss to tho Providence and bto iiinirlon Railroad Company on the depot, cars, and other property, will amount to irom .jii,uiij to $4ii,U0O, on which they have no insurance. There wa a large amount ot bony tish oil on the cork winch ha t been sold o.v uoiouei iiuooard nnd F. B. Morgan to I. C. Nickernou dc Co., of Boston. This (some one hundred Riid twenty- five barrels in all) was destroyed. The loss on od, it is thought, will reacli nearly $j(iou, on wlncn there was no insurance. The CcmmonwcaUh as one of the staunchest and most capacious boats that ran on the Hound. and was equulled In size and elegance by only one, the Murioiis. Captalu J. VV. Williams has commanded her, aud btimuel Corter has been chief engineer on her, ever since het lirst trip. Both these oftictrs are citizens oi xsorwicn. In the tall of inr,:i she was sold to the New Jersey Transportation Company, owners of the 'People s Line," and was immediate. y placed on the btouingtoD, afterwards Groton Line. A short lime ago, m the consolidation oi various Bteatn- buat aud railioad interests, she'wae sold, with the Ccmmouure and riwiwuU Hook, to tho Mer chants' Transportation Company, of 1'rovidence, a corporation organized by uniting the Mer chants' and Neptune lines of steamers The present owners paid for tho steamers named $760,000. It was their intention in tho course ot a lew weeks to remove the terminus of the line trom Groton to btonington. They were only awaiting the completion of new docks and depot at Btonington to make tne transicr. This disas ter will, of course, hasten the change, and the boats, after this week, will probably runl be tween Stonmgton and New York, abandoning the Groton terminus enfiicly. J. Dickin- tou liipley, who is believed to have perished in the flames of the steamer, was a son ol tne late Georege B. Ripley, ot this city, and nephew of Governor Buckingham. He served during the war as hospital steward of the listh C. v., and was mustered out with the regi ment last summer. Since then he has been engaged in the study ot medicine in the city of New York. He was coming home on a holiday visit to his friends, and beii.g an intimate friend ot Captain Wiiliam.s, of the Commonwealth, took passage with him to Groton, Intending to cross over to New London Friday morning, and take the early morning train to Norwich. On the passage to Groton he remained up until after midnight, and parted irom Captain Williams to so to his room just after the train left for Boston. It is probable that he fell into a sound sleep, and, without being awakened by the DoUe, was suffocated by the smoke, which filled the state room hall as soon as the tire struck the boat. Nothing was seen or heard of him on the boat or dock, and it is presumed that he died of suffo cation, without having made an effort to escape. lie was a young man ot promise, ana nnd be lived, would have adorned the profession of his cnoice. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The Characteristics of bis Life a .Seen by his I.sw Partner. William II. Ilerndon, for twenty years the law partner of Mr. Lincoln, delivered a lecture re cently on the life and characteristics ol the late President, at Springfield, Illinois. After plvinp a history of Mr. Lincoln's life and a description of bis personal looks, Mr. Ilerndon said: 'Mr. Lincoln's perceptions were slow, cold, precise, and exact. Everything camo to him in its precise shape ana coior. 10 some men tne world ot matter and ot man comes ornumentca with beauty, lile, and action, and hence more or less lalso and inexact. No lurking illusion or other error latee in itself audclad for the mo ment in robes of splendor ever passed unde tected or unchallenged over the threshold of his mind that point that divides vision Irom the realm and noma of thoueht. He had keen sus ceptibilities to the hints aud suefrestions ot na ture which always put him in mind of something known or unknown. Hence his power and te nacities of what is called association ot ideas must have been great. His memory was tena cious and strong, llis susceptibility to ail sug gestions and hints enabled blni at will to call up readily tne associaiea ana ciassineu iact ana utea. Mr. Lincoln read less and thought more than any man in his sphere in America. No man in this audience can put his nnoer on any great book written in the last or present century that he icad. When young he read the Bible, and when of age he read Shakespeare. This latter book was scarcely ever out ot ins mind. Mr. Lincoln is acknowledged to have been a preat man; but the question is what made him great ? I repeat that be read less an tnougnt more than anv man of his standing in America, if not in the world. He possessed oihrinahty and power ot thoueht in an eminent decree, lie was cau tious, cool, concentrated, with continuity of re flection; was patient ana enuurin?. ineso are some ot the grounds of his wonderful success. ' He was most emphatically a remorseless analyzer of facts, things, and principles. When all these processes had been well and thoroughly eone through, he could form an opinion and express it. but no sooner, ah opponents aresdea him in nis originality oi iaea, condensation, definition, and force ot expression: and woe be to the man who hugged to his bosom a recret error it Air. Lincoln got on tne cnase oi it. X no nook or corner of space in which he say woe to him. Time could hide tne error in would not detect and erpose it. We may allirm. here, in order to convey a general Idea, that Mr. Lincoln was a selt-reliant man. "Mr. Lincoln's mind was slow, angular, and ponderous, rather than ciulck and finely dis criminating; and in time his great powers of reason on cause and effect, on creation and re lation, on substance and on truth, would form a proposition, an opinion, wisely and well that no human being can deny. When his mind could not grasp premises Irom which to argue, be was wcuker than a child, because he hud none of the chuUs intuitions tho soul's ciiiick. briuht flash over scattered and unarranged tact. I have watched men closely in reference to their approaches to Mr. Lincoln. Thoso who nrnronched him on hla iudgnient side treated bim tenderly sometimes respectfully. but always as a weak-minded man? This class of nien take tho jui'nieut as the standard of the mind. , I have seen another class approach him on his reason side, and they always crouched low down and truckled, as mucn as to say, ' great," "grand," "omnipotent." both these clHSftoi wi re correct. Ouo took ludgment as the standard of the uviu. audjuic otner toolc reasoa. Yet Loth classes were wrong in this they sunk out oi view one bUe ol Mr. Lincoln. A third elms knew him well, and always trealed hiin with human rebpeet; not that awe and reverence with which we rc'ard tho Suoreme Being; not that ftipercilious haughtiness which greatness fbows to littleiiets. Thae three classes of men are in this room to night. Kacb will please to examine lttell, ar.d then iudge of what I Buy. I have approached Mr. 1,'ncoln on all sides, I am now sor'y to pay, and treated him according to lh angle approached. "There are contradictory opinions in reference to Mr. Lincoln's heart and humanity. To ui' a ue.neral expression, his general lile wns cold, lie had, however, attiong latent capacity to loe, but the object hniNt tirst.coiuo as principle, scfond ns rvaht, and third as lovely. He loved abstract humanity when it wns oppressed. This was au abstract love, not concrete in the indi vidual, as said by poiiie. Ho rarely n'jd the term love, yet was he tender and gentl". Ho gave the key-note to his own character, when he said, "with malice toward none, and with charity for all,' he did what ho did. He had no Intense loves, nnd hence no hates snd no malice. Il? hnd a brosd chnrity for imperfect man, and let us Imitate ids erent lile in this. Let us have 'malice (or none, nnd chanty for all.' " ' But was not Blr. Lincoln n man of great hu manity?' ai-'Ks a friend at my elbow, a little an grily; to which I reply, 'Has not that question been answered already ? Let ns suppofe that it 1ms not. We must understand ca::h other. Yi hat do you mean bv humanity? Do you mean that he hod much tit1 human nature in him?' It so, J will grant Hint he wus a man of hunianltv. Do you mean that Mr. Lit. cola was tender .uid kind ? then 1 agree with .von. But If von mean to my that ho to loved a man that he would sa crifice truth and light tor him tor love's sake, then he was not a man of humanity. Do you nunn to say that he so loved man for love s sake, that his heart led him out of himself and com pelled him to go in search ot the obiects or his love for their eakef Ho never, to my know ledge, ninni!c?ted this side of his character." g LL V E R M I I (J.

These shafts are In good order, and ore can be readily taken eut at anytime. Other veins have been discovered on this properly, ai.d tested, and proved to be very rich In gold. The ores. of this mine are known as the brown oro, and very rich, yielding readily $1 per bushel. This la believed to be one bf the best and nost certain nilnei In the State, on account or the abun dance and quality of the ore, ana the ease with which It is obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Iiajor Z. A. Grlor trom 1840 to the breaking out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and Intend to erect machinery and put the mines in Immediate operation. The many advantages of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It.ls more readily, reached, and basfabundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can be worked all the year, and not, as in the case of Colorado and Nevada, be compelled to He ide for three or four months In consequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having been werked tor a long tine, proved to be a rich pay ing one. We do not, therelore, liava to Incur tne risk there lain an undeveloped property, but can count on Targe and immediate returns on the Invest menu. Having an ore that readily yields ten dollars per bushel, some estimate can be made of the value of this property. With the present Imperfect system of mining In this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, tea tone ot this ore can be taken outdally from every shaft opened. Estimating, say fl teen biuhe a to the ton, the dally yield will be fllteen hundred dollar from one shaft. allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. The net product will be 1200 per day eountlng 300 working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be 9300,000, which yield can be largely Increased by extending tho works. This is considered a very low estimate of the capaalty of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Assay or of the United b tales Mint at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, say it has few equals in productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above product can be doubled.
