Shocking Suicide at Petersburg, .Va.
F. st A i n b,l e k, flour inspector at
Petersburg, Va., and one of . the most active
_business nten of that eity,;cinionitved sui c ide
in a most - borrible manner on Tuesday night.
The Express states that his wife was absent
in' the country, and his children having retired
to bed, he employed himself until a kite hour
of the night in Writino - letters. It then adds :
Having arranged all, as he thought, for the
regulation of matters after his death, he took
two stualFsingre barraled pocket 'pistols, a
four bladed pen knife and a razor and descend
ed into the cellar by a staircase from the din
ing coon/. Here be . divested himself of his
pantaloons and laid them by behind a box
partly filled with bran.—He next got into this'
b ran box, and must have used the penknife
p art ly for wounding - himself, as it was cast_
aside clotted with blood, as were also - the' pis- -
tols,'-neither of which had been discharged.
fro grasped the razor, and the first wound he
inflicted upon himself was a - circular cut of
about four or five inches in the abdorcen,from
which the intestines protruded and fell on the
bran box. Finding that this would not ter
minate his existence speedily, he applivd the
razor
. to his throat and Made .a fearful gash
ne arly from ear to ear, - by which death was
caused almost instantaneously.
The body was discovered net morning by
&servant. it was -lying in the bran box on
its right side, with limbs and arias bent up
rigid in death. Tire left - band was fiTtnly
clenched, while the right hand held the razor
in a Manner to: give the bolder great power
over the blade.---The right side of the body
Was covered with clotted bleed, and a portion
of the bowels :ay near the body. -

his untimely loss."' ,
r) --- The few Whig papers that believe the
old Whig party still lives, arc making anxious
inquiries after the Whig State Central Com
mittee, and want to know whether there is to
be any Whig State Convention held this year.
They express lively fears that the Committee
has sold out the party to the K. N's. The
Washington Co Ilifttall etteall it says :
"There is certainly something wrong some
where ; our State central Committee are per
fectly indifferent or have betrayed and sold the
Whig party ! We should regret- to believe that
this were true—but, judging from the appear
ance of things, we can scarcely come . to any
other conclusion.''
To which the Lancaster Examiner adds, as
though it spoke knowingly
"The fears of the Commonwealth are doubt
less too well founded. The administration and
the Statil .Central Committee have evidently
been .guilty of treachery to the Whig party
not surpassed in infamy by that of John Tyler
or Benedict Arnold. Ilistory will class them
all in the satne catalogue of traitors."
'The Sabel Public of Lyons giveS Me fol
lowing most strange story :
, ‘A few days ago a certain number of Eng
lishmen established in this city gave a splendid
banquet to 'a countryman of theirs, a Mr.
Art her' Fleming, a rich merchant-of - London,
then at Lyons,, and who bad just completed -a
residence of eleven months in the prison of
Frankfort, in whiehlie ha.s been placed under
the following circurnslances:About a tw el ye
month- ago, Mr. Fleming stopped for two days
at one (.4 the principal hotels at Frankfort-on
the-Maine, and on the third day, when about
to leave, called for his bill, which to his as.-
tonisliment, amounted to about 250 francs.
- Indignant at this demand, which he considered
exorbitant, be tendered one half of it, but, the
landlord persisted in his demand, and threat
ened tO send his customer to prison, as the law
of the place allowed him to do. The English
man, however, was obstinate, and suffered
--himse to—tic—ar-A. , sted • and—locked . up. Al
though the laws of Frani:lint give this power
to creditors, •therat the same time impose on
them the necessity of supporting their debtors
while in prison, and also, to furnish them with
clothes and other articles suitable to them in
life. This the hotel ke6per was compelled to
do in' Mr„ Fleming's case - , and so little care did
the Englishman take'of time artieleS supplied to
him, that the former at hist found himself
minus a sum of nearly 20,000 f, and thinking
that amount quite enough to expend for his
obstinacy / he ordered the release of his cap
tive. Mr. Fleming, not wishing - to triumph
over his creditor, immediately on his rele,ase
gave a sum to the poor of Frankfort amounting
to double that expended by the hotel keeper."
RECIPM FOR FLOATING.—As the warm weath
er approaches, crowds of persons resort to the
river and ponds in the vicinity to fsathe, and
indulge in sailing and other aquatic sports, by
which many careless persons will endanger
their lives, as usual. As it may be of some
service to those who do not understand how to
conduct themselves in the perilous struggles
in water, we re-publish the following direc
tions from the spirit of the Times :---'•Any hu
man being who will have the presence of mind
to clasp the hands behind the back, and turn
the face loward,s I ke - zenil Is, may float, at ease
and in perfect safety-in tolerably still water
aye, and sleep there, no matter how long. If,
not knowing how to swim, you would escape
drowning, when you, find yourself in deep wa
ter, you have only to consider yourself an emp
ty pitcher—let your mouth and nose, not the
top of your heavy head, be the highest part of
you and you are safe. But thrust up one of
-your bony hands and down you go : turning up
theliandlii tips 'over the pitcher. Having had
the happiness -to prevent one or two from
drowning by this simple instruction, we pub
lish-it for the benefit of all who either Luce
aquatic spurts or dread them."

The late Eartlignakes and Eruptions.
If we were living in an earlier age of the
world, when superstition held paramount sway
°vet the minds of men, and when comets,
earthquakes and other wonders - cif natnre were
considered to be warnings of '•dire events to
come," we_ might he tempted to cite the late
- earthquake at Bionssa, the Ancient Capital of
l _thej_nrks.,_as_a_pertent_forshadawin , * the runt
' and dispersion of the once mighty Othman
race. But science teaches us that even if the
destruction of the great Moslem power should
I happen. the earthquake at Bronssa will have
' been hut a coincidence, and not a sign. From
the earliest ages. the region where these con.
vulsions of nature have taken place, has been
the scene of frequent earthquakes. Geologists
tell us, in fact, that a continuous, vocanic dis
trict, beginning east of the . Caspian. extends
westiVard - to Vi - !suVins, passing - through - Asia
1:%linoi• and the / l E , rean. •An eruption of the
great volcano at Naples is generally, therefore,
attended iiith earthquakes in Asia Minor, just
asithas_becn now. •
It is a curious circumstance that this tinder
grown reservoir for the pent-up fires seems to
run in two distinct channels, one taking the
course we have described, the iither passing
south through Syria and terminatingat Etna.
History teaches that when the latter mountain
is active, Vesuvius is silent, and vice versa.
An eruption of Etna; moreover, is usually at
tended with earthquakes in Syria, while
earthquakes in Asia Minor are 'almost univer
sally significant of an eruption of -Vestivins.
Never", we-believe, have Syria. and Asia Minor
he-n convulsed simultaneOusly. The centre
of the great oscillating earth AVIIVe, when the
convulsion takes the northern channel, is.ns
ually found - near- Broussa, which has conse
quently always been liable to, earthqnakes.
The *hole region, indeed, is one Of freqiient
disturbance. Constantinople has been visited
continually by earthquakes. so that there is
scarcely a 'mosque in 'it which -is not cracked.
A vague tradition, but not necessarily. an un
trustwor thy one, records that the Bosphorus
itself was the work of tin earthquake and that
the Black Sea, the "apple of -discord" in the
present war, was once an' inland, ocean, like
the Caspian is now. '
If the iaiS, so to speak. of this late earth
wave had been a hundred or two miles to the
northeast of Broussa, the Oriental war might
have come to a strange conclusion. Between
the sea of Azoff and the Caspian lies a ridge of
slightly elevated land, which,. if is ever de
pressed by - ran earthquake, like the coast of
Chili has been within,the memory of man, will
pour the waters of 'the first sea• into those of
the last, -and 'thence over the great plain of
Central Asia; which lies lower, as is well
known, than the level of the Azoff. This
would create a current from the Black Sea in-
Azolf, and from the Meditereanean into
,tie Black Sea ; and the rush of waters would
continue until the low plains of middle Asia
would be covered with a shallow sea to the
level of the Atlantic.- Such an event• would
place a barrier between lLussia and_ India in-
finitely more potent tlutn armies. The thing,
indeed, may never happen ; but, as We have
seen, it istar from being iniprobahle ; indeed,
many geologists: thints it came nwirer to being
realized during these late earthquakes, than
the Allies are to taking Sevastopol. —ledger.
Eicape from Fire.
The superintendent' of tlie London fire Uri
oade has devised the following very judicious
airections'for aiding persons to escape from
premises on fire:
1. Be careil►t to acquaint yourself with the
best.means qf exit from the house both at the
top and bottom.
.‘L. On the first alartn pfleet before" you act.
If in bed at the time, wrap yourself in'a blan
ket or hedsidu carpet; open no more doers nor
windows than are -absolutely necessary, and
shUt every door after you.
3. There is always from eight to twelve
inches of pure air close to the ground ; if you
cannot, therefore, .walk upright through the
smoke, drop on your hands and knees, and
thus progress. A wetted silk handkerchief a
piece of flannel, ora worsted stocking drawn
over the face permits breathing, and to a great
er extent excludes the smoke.
4. Ii you can neither make your way up
war4s or downwards, get .into a front room ;
if there k a family, see that they are all col
lected here, and keep the door closed as much
as possible, for remember that smoke -al
ways -tollows' a draught, and lirealways rush
es alier smoke.
5..0n no account throw yourself, or allow
others to throw themselves, from the window.
if no assistance is at hand, and you are in ex
tremity, tie the sheets together and having
fastened one end to some heavy pteee_offon.
niture, let down the women and children one
by one, by tying the, end of the line of sheets
around the waist, and lowering them through
the window - that is over the door, rather than
through the one teat is over the area. You
can easily let yourself doWn after the helpless
are saw!.
6. If a woman's clothes should catch fire,
let her instantly roll herself over and *over on
the ground ; if a man be present, let hin► throw
her down and do the like, and then wrap her
in a rug, coat or the first woolen thing that is
at hand.
Remarkable Balloon Ascension.
Wm. D. Baninistle, of Adrian city, Michigan,
ascended on Friday, ina s ...„_Wloon, from that
place, at I.ok in the morning, and descended,
in Clarion county, Pennsylvania, at iii the
afternoon, makinz the ‘7,omputed cl 4 ,Lai4ce of
three hundred and fifty wiles in the Extraor
dinary short time of four hours. This is his
second trip, and an experimental one with a
balloon of unusually large size. It is thirty
feet in diameter, contains over six hundred
yards of silk, and is capable of holding nine
, teen thousand cubic feet of gas. Alter his as
cent to the distance of three miles and a half,
the teronaut struck the eastern current of air,
which, he says, is continually bl o wing in the
one direction. It carried him South of the
lakes, through Central Ohio. llis intention
was not to descend until dark, as he was above
the rain clouds in a clear upper but the
excessive cold to which he was exposed -brought
on the accustomed , drowsy sensai ion, which
prevented him from properly managing his
balloon. lie was in that sleepy state when
his -craft" anchored on a tree in Red Bank,
- having descended in consequence Of the evapo
ration of the gas. The cold was so severe that
his feet were completely frozen.
