OTHE NEW YORK HERALD? | WHOLE NO. 7520. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. ‘Progress of the Exbibition—Deseription of Articles. The vacant space intended for the exhibition of the Ghobelin tapestry and Sevres porcelain, which ‘are expected to arrive from France in a few days, is being prepared for the reception of those beautiful and unequalled productions of art. The place ap- spropriated for these articles is in that portion of the French department immediately adjoining the stairs leading from the intersection to the west gallery. Several valuable additions have been made since our Jast notice of the exhibition, to the French collection. ‘Two immense carpets, each of which is over twenty feet long and eighteen wide, were displayed yester- day. There are no joinings in either of them, each being complete in itself. The patterns of both are well wrought, but the colors are not fresh and brilliant enough for our taste. The French Mechanical piano, which we described a few days 8g0, always attracts a crowd of visiters when in ope- ration; but the principal object of attraction yester- ‘Gay, during the few hours it was in the building, ‘was a piece of statuary representing a hunter strug- gling with a bear. This was brought into the exhi- bition about noon, and we believe will occupy a place somewhere in front of the French department. As all exciting subjects of this kind are attractive, whe- ther well or poorly executed, it will alwaysbe an ob- ject of ouriosity. The story which the group is in- tended to illustrate is replete with interest for those who are fond of the terrible. The hunter, whose meck is ornamented witha necklace formed of the aaila, of bears’ claws, the evidence of his previous victories over many ursine antagonists, is locked in the fatal embrace of his shaggy foe, and struggles feebly to release himself. The net in which the ‘bear is partially enveloped, shows that the hunter had attempted to entangle him, but failing in this, he plunged his knife up to the handle in the neck of ‘the brute, inflicting a fatal wound. Both are, there- fore, in the death struggle. The huge fore paws of the bear have grasped the dying hunter with terrible tenacity, and his drooping head and last feeble effort to release himself prove that the struggle on his part is nearly ended. The agony of the bear, and his vain endeavors to pluck the knife from his neck, are well represented. The artist has in- ttrodueed as one of the group, a cub, which is playing about the legs of its dam, appa- rently unconscious of the struggle. The group, though not without some defects, possessea many merits. It is spirited,and no matter what critics may say, it will demand more than the passing Notice of the visiters. Inthe German department there is an extensive display of leathers, dressed in various styles, and an excellent assortment of firearms. The collection, however, is not 80 good as we anticipated, and is ‘but poorly calculated to do credit to the genius and skill of the fatherland. Visiters to the United States department must have observed the great preponderance of daguerreo- types and soaps of all descriptions, over every other article on exhibition. We have, it is true, a very creditable display of machinery and agricultural implements, but they are more than counterbalanced by the articles to which we have alluded. One hundred specimens of daguerreotype portraits would be considered sufficient, by any rea- sonable person to prove our proficiency in the art; but what will our readers say when we intorm them that there cannot be less thana thousand? The Ame- rican Institute was bad enough in this respect, but the Crystal Palace is much worse; it has increased the number in proportion to its own dimensions. Por- ‘traits which have stared at us for years from signs before the doors of Broadway daguerreotypists, have ‘been placed on the free list at the Crystal Palace, and their ‘‘old familiar faces” greet us with the same dignified look. Here you may see some of the most distinguished men in the country, sir,” and others who are trying hard to be distinguished. In this ex- tensive gallery you will see strong-minded women, and any number of interesting young ladies, who Jook out at you with the most bewitching expression. ‘There are, in fact, all varieties—Lydia Languishes, and other romantic heroines, ad infinitum. Then look at the piles of soap—brown soap, yellow soap, white soap and red soap, and more than twenty other varieties. There are busts of Henry Clay: “President Polk, and other celebrated men, all done in soap, besides which there is enough of perfume to smother a hundred men. In addition to the daguerreotypes, we find an end” fees variety of notions and curiosities, all of which are objects of much attraction to visiters. The colored people will be glad to learn that they are admitted to the exhibition on equal terms with other visiters. AJ] the association requires from each individual is half a dollar, on the payment of which, be he colored or white, he is entitled to admission. Hereafter the audiences will be of a mottled com- plexion, and we shall see in all parts of the palace fashionably dressed colored ladies and gentlemen as ‘well as white. We regret to state that Sir Charles Lyell, who has acted as one of the English commissioners, leaves to- day,inthe steamer Arabia, for England. During his brief vieit here he has taken much interest in the exhibition. His sudden departure will be sincerely regretted by the numerous friends he has made among us. Single tickets sold ..

We have said that there area large number of curios. ities inthe United States department, and visiters need only walk through the north gallery to be convinced ef the fact. There is to be seen a model of Greenwich street, which, with one exception, is a perfect repre- sentation of the original. We don’t recollect ever having even such a number of street sweepers in that much neglected thoroughfare as the artist has here given us; but the groups of German emigrants who are hurrying along with their baggage are well done. The whole piece is well executed. Near this model is another representing the frigate Talerad, which was built two hundred years ago, atthe city of Amsterdam, in Holland. It is, the artist informs us, constructed of 22,000 pieces of silver and gold, and is valued at three handred dol- Jars. It is peculiarly valuable, however, on account of the marked improvement which it proves has been made in the construction of ves wela during the past two centuries. The Talerad, ond all other vessels built about the same time, were heavy, ungraceful looking crafts compared with our packet ships and fast-sailing clip- pers. Ite stem, like that of Dutch vessels one and “two centuries since, is round, while its bows are too broad and massive to admit of much speed. Yet they did good service in their day, and were superior to any others then on the ocean. In such a vessel Hendrik Hudson diseovered the noble river which is now known by his name, and with ships like this the Dutch held, for many years, the sovereignty of the B88. On the same stand with this miniature frigate are. some very fair specimens of needle ornamental work, representing landscapes, &c. A temple formed en- tirely of pearl is among the curiosities of this collec- tion. Inside of this temple is a full-length figare of Washington, in Parian marble, and the whole is govered with s glass case, a NATUBAL CURIOSITIES, Those interested in making an examination of the natural curiosities at the Crystal Palace, should search for the small glass case in which is contained some fine specimens from the Mammoth Cave, Ken- tucky. Among the products of this great cave, are said to be fish without eyes, a few of which are on exhibition. They are preserved in alcohol, which gives them a white color, but their natural appear- ance is said to be somewhat similar. Upon a minute examination of the largest of the fish exhibited, we were unable to distinguish any eyes, or any place for them. The head of the fish appears perfect in every respect, excepting the visual organs. The largest of the specimens exhibited is about three inches long,and its shape and appearance is more like a catfish than anything else we can compare it to, of the finny tribe, With this is associated another kind of the piscatory inhabitants of this cave, which has the appearance of a craw fish or lobster, but very small, not weighing more than half an ounce. Besides these curiosities, in the same case are exhibited quantities of stalactite and stalagmite from this subterranean wonder. Not far from these fish are two other curiosities, which deserve a place in the same category. They are the stuffed bodies of two English terriers, named Tiny and Minnie, both of which are in an excellent state of preservation, and look as sprightly as if they were still alive. Minnie was two years and eight months old when she died, and Tiny fourteen days. We are particular in giving the exact age, as it may account for the great difference in size. The latter weighs only three ounces, while the former weighs two pounds three ounces. With a good sized rat Tiny would have stood no chance, and even with Minnie the fight would be doubtful. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. We are truly an agricultural people. If there was no other proof of this fact, the display of the pro- ducts of peace made by our countrymen in the pre- sent industrial exhibitions, would be in itself a sufficient vindication of the aesertion. Other nations represented in the great fair may ex- cel in other departments of the peaceful arts, but the United States is first in everything pertaining to ag- riculture. The ingenuity of our people has met every. necessity for husbanding the productions of our fruit- ful domains, with machinery which almost defies the powers of the most skilful to improve or supersede. Invention in our country has been made to do more yabor upon the farm, than perhaps in any ether na- tion on the globe. Among the many curious and valuable inventions which are worthy the examina- tion of all interested in the progress of our people, is one from the Old Dominion, called “the Farmer's Labor-saving Machine,” invented by Elisha S. Sny- der. This is a new machine, and never, we believe, before the present time, was exhibitted to the pub- lic. It looks some like a winnowing mill, excepting that it ismuch larger. Every farmer in the land will hail it as his best friend, if it accomplishes what it promises, which we have no reason todoubt. It is de- signed to thresh, clean, measure and bag one hundred bushels of grain per day. It also throws off smut, cheat, and other impurities, and prepares the grain ready cleaned and sacked for market, all by the same operation. The one on exhibition is of two horse power, but they may be made of any power wished, the amount of work they are able to acoom- plish being dependent upon their size. If needed they may be made for hand power, and used in plac of the common fanning mill for cleaning rye, oats, corn, &c., &c. A machine of six horse power, and attended by seven hands, will thresh, clean and bag the very large amount of two hundred and fifty bushels of wheat, ready for the mill, in one day. It can require no argument to prove the superiority of this invention, if it acts as it purports. What its greatest powers are has not yet been decided, as it has not been in use for a period long enough to properly test it. But it is stated that one of these machines of one-eighth horse power, has already threshed, cleaned and bagged forty thousand bushels of grain, and the cost of repairs in the separating and cleaning apparatus did not exceed five dollars in doing this amount of work. We can suggest no improvement to this invention, unless it be the addi- tion of other powers, making it capable also of grind- ing the grain, mixing the dough and baking the bread, which improvements would not astonish us, owing to the ingenuity already manifested by the won- derful inventions of our countrymen. Farmers and scientific men should examine Mr. Snyder's invention. Gibbs’ rotary spade, made in the District of Co- lumbia, is another machine in the agricultural de- partment which is much praised by those competent to judge as to the merits of new inventions. This is designed to supersede the plough in many instances. It is not intended for breaking up new or heavy sward ground, but more particularly for tilled land- It consists of a very simple arrangement, by which a sort of a trowel shaped spade is thrast into the earth, throwing it up behind a revolving wheel, in which these spades are fixed. Two heavy iron wheels, of about two feet in diameter, staid upright ina simple frame, and projecting around the edges of these wheels are the diggers, if we may so call them, which the weight of the machine presses into the ground. These diggers are slightly curved, and will break the earth a few inches on each side. The two wheels of this machine are placed about six inches apart; they meet each other in breaking the ground between them, and together will plough a width of two feet. Wheels can be added to these, cutting the earth as to width according to one’s pleasure. They are somewhat more costly than the ordinary plough, but much more durable. We should think them heavy to draw, and unwieldly; but they are reported otherwise by those who have seen them used. It is well for those interested in farming implements to examine them; but we would rather see them in operation before we more fally speake of their efficacy or superiority SCIENTIFIC IMPLEMENTS. One of the greatest and most valuable scientific arrangements in the whole exhibition, is a large planetarium, describing the motions of all the planets: from the sun to the earth. This planetarium is of an entirely new construction, invented and made by Thomas H. Barton, of Lexington, Kentucky. The instrument moves with such precision that the minia- ture will actually represent the real position and motions of the sun, the earth, moon, Mercury and Venus, showing the relative position of the planets to the earth and to each other, duly demonstrating the cause of the change of the seasons, length of day and night, the time of fulls and changes of the moon, the various positions of her nodes, and also the posi- tiens while revolving around the earth and with it around the sun. Besides this, it demonstrates the different movements of Venus and Mercury, the time of their transits, conjunctions, &c., making a true report for every day of any year, present, past, or future. This instrument stands about the height of a com- mon table, presenting a circle of about thirty feet in circumference, supported by a very fanciful iron frame, all too novel to afford an intelligent compari- son. It would be very difficult to give a minute de- scription of the mechanical arrangements of this invention. It is sufficient to say that each and every member of the whole machine performs its office with mathematical precision. But the great. est merits of this extraordinary instrument is in its general usefulness in relieving both teacher and student of a vast amount of labor. By its use the student can be instructed aa muoh in one day as gs accustomed to leara im one or two yoars, besiiis MORNING EDITION----WEDNESDAY, JULY 217, 1859. avoiding the effects of mistaken impressions in early life. WORK IN MARBLE. A specimen of very neat workmanship in marble, consists of a coffin, on exhibition in the American department. It is admired for its beauty, durability and strength. The non-conducting properties of the marble aid materially,in the preservation of bodies placed therein; and the article is made en- tirely impervious to air or moisture when closed The one on exhibition is elegantgglined with white satin, and in the lid is fixed a gld@8 case for the dis- cernment of the corpse. They are valued at $100, asum of but little importance when weighed with the satisfaction of preserving for ages unimpaired, the remains of departed friends. Upon the top is a marble scroll, for the inscription; a marble bouquet of flowers is made to neatly fit over the glass of the lid, when deposited in the grave. These coffins are made of Italian marble, and are susceptible of much decoration. WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT. CONTRIBUTIONS.

D., late Pastor of St. Pauls, and Assistant Minister of Trinity Church, in this city, took place yesterday morning at half-past eleven o’clock. In the Heraxp of Mon- day we published a short biographical sketch of the late lamented divine, in connection with our notice of his melancholy demise on board the steamship Arctic, upon her last voyage from Liverpool, when he was almost within sight of the shore of his native land and only distant a few hours’ sail from the home of his fond and expectant wife. Immediately after the ship reached her dock the body was taken from aboard and conveyed to Trinity Church, where it was consigned to the charge of Mr. Lyons, the sexton, and his assistants, with whom. it remained until yesterday morning, when it was borne to its final earthly resting place. Upon arriving at Trinity Church yesterday, at half* past ten o'clock in the morning, our reporter found the sacred edifice shadowed with the drapery of mourning, and every person present seeming] stricken with heartfelt sorrow. The sexton a vergers were dressed in black, and wore crape upon the left arm, the organ loft was dimly lighted, the pulpit was hung around with black cloth, the com- munion table was veiled with crape, and the entire wall behind it, under the great east window, was co- vered from angle to angle with the same emblem of grief. The church was, even then, more than half full of people, the congregation being com d of the sorrowing hearers and afflicted friends of the deceased clergyman. Immediately in front of the steps leading to the communion table, a temporary catatalco was erected, which was also hung with black cloth, and intended asa temporary receptacle for the coffin during the religious services. A little before eleven, two ladies in mourning, and seaningy borne down with grief, were shown toa pew in front of the pulpit, and we understood that they were the ladies of Dr. Parks’ family. They seemed objects of very sincere commiseration. The Right Peverend Doctor Wainwright—Provisional Bishop’of the Diocess of New York—with a number ofthe clergy attached to St. Paul’s and Trinity churches, assembled in the vestry to make prepara- tions, and, during this time, the pesiine organ sent forth solemn funeral notes, whilst the tolling of the bells of old Trinity added to the saddening influence of the scene. About half past eleven o'clock the door of the ves- try room was thrown open, and the FUNERAL PROOESSION came forth in the following order :— Mr. Lyons, Sexton of Trinity Church, with his baton craped. The Right Reverend Doctor Wainwright, Provisional Bishop, in canonical robes. The Rev. Dr. Higbee, in pulpit robes. The Rev. Dr. Haight, in pulpit robes. The Rey. Mr. Hobart, in pulpit robes. The above gentlemen were the officiating clergy- men upon the occasion. They were followed by the PALL BEARERS, consisting of Rev Samuel Seabury.D D., Rey. J. F. Schroeder, D. D., 'W. A. Muhlenberg, D.D , Semi. R. Johnson, D. D., E. M. Jobnson, Professor Maban, Richard Abercombie, Wm. E_ Ergenbroo. ‘The pall bearers were dressed in black silk capes and gowns, and were followed by a large number of iat Meet ‘The procession moved up the great aisle of the church tothe grand door of entrance, where the coffin was handed to the pall bearers by the sexton’s assistants. The line was immediately re-formed, and re-entered the church in the same order, the bishop ‘iving out, ‘‘ Iam the resurrection of life’; “‘ The fora giveth and the Lord hath taken away’; whilst the choir sent forth that consoling grand anthem which is taken from the thirty-ninth and ninetieth Psalms, and prescribed to be used at burial services. The ooffin was then placed upon the bier. It was covered with black velvet and fastened with silver screws. A neat plate bore the fcllowing inscrip- tion :— oP SOSSCCOS99999909SSSO Dg ° Tax Rev.

The cortege proceeded to the Trinity Cemetery, where the Rev. Mr. Abercrombie officiated ever the grave; after which the mortal re- mains of the Rev. Martin P. Parks were consigned to earth, amidst the grief of many friends, who were only eonsoled by the certainty of his final triumph in the resurrection to life eternal. ‘The Madeira Sufferers. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RERALD. New York, July 20, 1853, The proprietor of the Hrraup kindly published @ letter from a lady in Madeira last winter, the postage of which she was not able to pay; she now encloses it, with many thanks for his courtesy. The prompt and generous assistance which was .sent from New York and Boston for the sufferers of that island was most gratefully received by them, and with astonishment by the Portuguese govern- ment; every resident expressed the warmest surprise and admiration at such spontaneous liberality. There is still very great destitution and sufforin; in Madeira, and the prospect is there will be still greater; but every one must feel the propriety and the absolute necessity of their being relieved by their own governnent, and the English merchants who have enriched themselves by its products.

Yesterday, a meeting was held at the Astor House for the purpose of taking the preli ry steps pre- viously to making the final arrangements as to how the Sons of New England, residents in New York, shal] leave the city for the approaching celebration on Plymouth Rock. The object of the meeting, which was merely to announce that all New Eng- landers who intend to pd¥ticipate in the ceremonies should Jeave their names at the above Hotel on or before Thursday next, was of too formal a nature to require any speeches. There wasa very thin attendance, doubtless at. tributable to the badness of the weather, and likewise to the hour at which the meeting was held—between 12 and 1P.M.—when most business men are too much occupied with their affairs to have leisure for anything else. Mr. Grivvewt, President of the New England Society, acted as Chairman, and Mr. Kingsbury as Secretary, and a resolution to the same purport as above mentioned was drawn up and adopted, and ordered to be advertised in some of the papers. Our readers will find it among the advertisements under the proper heading. The ceremony which will consist in laying the corner stone of a monument on Plymouth Rock it- self, where the Pilgrim Fathers of New England first landed, after their wearisome voyage across the Atlantic, in a small frail bark, with no other support but their faith and steadfastness of purpose, promises tobe a very interesting one. Great preparations have been made in Plymouth to give all possible éclat to the day's proceedings, and a vast concourse of people, it is expected, will attend. A banquet has been provided for two thousand five hundred persons, and the procession, according to all ac- counts, will be a very grand one. But the most in- teresting spectacle will be the very fact of erecting a monument to commemorate so important an event in the history of the world as the voluntary exile, and after landing in New England, of the Pilgrim Fathers. Let it be remembered, that on Monday, the Ist of August, New Englanders in New York, as wellas¢hose scattered Ga New England, will assemble under the banner of the above society at Plymouth, to participate in the ceremonies, and to do hener to the occasion.

The Mechanics’ and Traders’ Bank, of Jersey City, was entered sometime during Monday night, and robbed of about $11,000, Deposits wore received as usual be- tween 6 and 7 o'clock, om Monday evening, by the Provi- dent Institution for Savings, which is kept in the same building. The bank was closed immediately after seven o'clock, by the son of Mr. Fox, cashier of the Mechani and Traders’ Bank, who took the keys to the cashier's residence, but did not change the combination of the lock, At seven e’clock yesterday moraing, the cashier's servant girl, who has beem in his family about a month, went to the bank as usual to put it in order. She found the back door forced, and the key of the safe lying upon the floor, Of the missing funds, $8,716 -be- longed to the bank, viz.:—$3,988 im small billa—61’s to $10's—of the Mechanics’ and Trad nk, the registry numbers of which are known to the bank officers; $1.5 in gold; $495 in silver; $1,500 in current bills, mosily of New York city banks, and $970 in uncurrent funds, chiefly of New York and New Jersey banks, A box, containing fands of the Savings Institution, was taken, which contained $506 in cash, and a check for about’ $600, dra» hy T, W.

Don Mariago Paredes, the Peruvian country, and exercised suclt power in its internal po- licy that Gen. Belzu always looked at him with with marked jealousy. Besides, Paredes was the man that intrigued during the administration of the late Gen. Ballivian in order to elevate to the Presi- dency Gen. Belzu. In this he succeeded, aided by the political policy of Peru at the time, and he had the prestige of having been one of the best support- ers of Belzu. The affairs went on quietly for some time, when Belzu suddenly commenced to suspect that Paredes was in league with the opposition party, and fearing that it might happen to him as it occur- red to his predecessor, feigned a conspiracy, and one of the parties imprisoned gave his declaration, accus- ing the Peruvian Minister of being one of the principal directors. Without other reason or proof, he was notified to leave the country. The Peruvian govern- ment being startled at such an unheard of measure, a diplomatic correspondence ensued, and as Belzu refused to give any satisfaction for the offence, a decree was given which is utterly ruinous to the general trade of Bolivia. As it is well known, Arica is the only port by which the trade to the northern bpd of Bolivia is carried on, say La Paz, Oruro, habamba, and Santa Cruz; the others, Potosi, Chuquisaca, and eae on the south, are supplied by the way of Cobija. The decree established a duty of forty per cent on the Bolivian coin,and on al kinds of produce exported from that country, and an impost duty on all goods forwarded in transit via Arica, or which is the same—an entire prohibition. General Belzu, far from¥being compelled by this aggressive measure to enter into an amicable settle- ment by giving a satisfaction for the violation of the international laws, still persisted in his policy, pro- testing at the same time of his peaceful views towards eru. Subsequently Senor Don Francisco Gonzalez Prada was appointed extraordinary Envoy to that overnment, and orders were directed to march ivisions of troops to the frontier. Senor Prada sent his wtematwm from Arica, which, in abstract, is as follows:— ‘The admission of the Minister Paredes. The destitution of the Minister{D. Bustillo and Inten- dente Zuaco, principal instigators of the offence; and ¢ fulfilment of the fourth articie of the treaty of Arequipa, which is to the effect that Bolivia will stop the coinage of bad money. All these demands have been denied by the Boli- vian government, expressing that it will not submit to any imposition of a forei borer that they do not wish the war, but are ready to defend their terri- tory if the Peruvian government invade the country. The war steamer Rimac sailed for Callao with the tches, and the decision of our government is anxiously expected. Undoubtedly war will be de- clared. A Peruvian uadron—the Amazonas Coren Apurimac (do.), Guisse, and Mercedes—are = roe or in Arica, waiting orders to blockade ‘obija. The army is at present in a most efficient state, and numbers 8,000 troops. Of these some are march- ing to the frontiers, and divisions are quartered in Facua, Areguipa,'and Pano. However, it is not likely that our army will invade Bolivia, as the war- fare can be carried on either by ERAS wih the revolutionary party which is represented by Linares, or by the prohibitory decree which deprives that country entirely of resources. ‘The fall of General Belzu will not be for a long time a problem. F.B. Our Relations with Mexico: Sonora, (California,) May 30, 1853. Mr. J. G. Bennetr :— Dear sir—May I, in behalf of myself and compan- ions, request you, through the medium of the He- RALD,which is curculated more extensively in Califor- nia than any other paper, and I believe has more in- fluence at Washington than all others combined, to publish to the world an outrage which myself and two others suffered in Tampico, in December last? It seems scarcely possible that our government can pass this over in silence, but is in duty bound to give us redress. ‘These are the facts :— John A. Tyler, Jesse Jones, and Moses E. Mil- ner, while on their way from California to New Orleanz, in December last, were totally -igno- rant that gold dust was contraband, or that there was an export duty of four per cent on coin; and when we were on the point of embarking for New Orleans we were seized by the custom house officers, and robbed of between six and seven thou sand dollurs, leaving us not one cent—every dollar of which we had acquired in California. We told them of our ignorance of the law,and that we were willing to pay all the law demanded, to all which they turned a deaf ear, and confiscated the whole. Now, sir, it seems our government is doing nothing in the case. Are we thus to be robbed with impunity ? ‘The English consul at Tampico told us that if we were Englishmen he would restore us our money in twenty minutes ; but we were poor, unfortunate, un- protected Americans—a government that no nation fears, and whose citizens consequently cannot expect justice. But we are assured of one thing, viz.: that your able ee can present the affair in its true colors, and that the oppressed have never appealed to your columns in vain. Do not, then, disappoint us in the hope that you will urge our case on the attention of the administration; and also as a cautioh to return- ing Californians going home through Mexizo. Very truly, your friends, J. A. TYLER, JESSE JONES, Moses E. Mitner.. Lake Superior News.

The circumstance excited no a cion,as it had frequently occurred befere, and he left without disturbing her. About four o'clock, P. M., some one of the servants about the jail came down stairs and informed the sheriff that Mrs. Robin- son had been vomiting for some time, and very free- ly, and that the contents of the stomach had a blue- ish appearance, resembling vitriol. Mr. Price imme- diately visited the woman, and found the statement true.
