EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.
The Sappho reports that Mati, the Go. vernor of Varau, met with his death in an extraordinary manner. Early this month he was amusing himself by killing fish with dynamite, and happening to keep hold of acharge too long after lighting the fuse, it exploded, blowing one hand and part of the arm away. A day or two afterwards lock-jaw set in, and he died.
