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

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

.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

In the tall of inr,:i she was sold to the New

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.

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

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."

averaging hoin two to three feet la thickness, which
veins still continue on down Increasing in width
ano richness. 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

of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can

In this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, tea
tone ot this ore can be taken outdally from every 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

equals in productiveness in that country, and with
proper management and machinery the above product
