ed. The mother had gone out, and left her
infant In cradle in the second story, under
the charge Of another child only three years
Of age. A third little girl, about 5 years of
age, was attending Z small shop below. She
suddenly heard loud screams from the room,
above her, she hurried up the staircase, and
found the clothes Of her little sister, envel-
oped in flames.-with presence of mind truly
astonishing in girl Of her age, sho immedi-
utely stripped the dress from the child; pro.

burning dress She was unable after all her
exertion to save her sister. The child was
burnt severely and soon expired. The in
fant was unhurt. In taking the clothes from
the child, the eldest girl was much injured.
Her hands and arms, however, were dres..
sed and bound round with-cotton wool, and
it is hoped she will not loose them. Her
forlitude and calmness deserve, and have re.
ceived no small praise.

gave utterance to the thought that his

LUDIcRoUs EFFECTS OF THE APPkAR-
ANCE oFA COMET I'M l7l2.

This year, Mr.. Wiston having calcu-
lated the return of comet, which was
to make its appearance to-day, Wednes-
day, at five minutes after FIVE in the
morning gave notice accordingly, with
this terrific addition, that total dissolu-
ton by fire was to take place on the
Friday following. The reputation, Mr..
WistoL- had long maintained, both
as divine and philosopher, left little
or no doubt with the populace Of the
truth Of his prediction. Several ludic-
rous events now took place, A number
of persons in and about London, seized
all the barges and boats they could lay
hands on in the Thames, very nationally
concluding, that when the confagration
took place, there would be the most
safety on the water. A gentleman who
had neglected family prayer for better
than five years, informed his wife that it
was his determination to resume that
laudable practice the same evening; but
his wife having engaged ball at her
house, persuaded her husband to put it
off till they saw whether the comet an
peared or not. The south sea stock i'm
mediately fell five per cent. and the In
dia to eleven, and the captain of Dutch
ship threw all his powder into the river,
that the ship might not be endangered.
The next morning, however, the comet
appeared according to the prediction,
and before noon the belief was universal
that the day Of judement was at hand.
About this time about 1913 clergymen
were ferried over to Lambeth, it was
said, to petition that short prayer
might be penned and ordered. there be-
ing none in the church-servjce on that
occasion. Three maids Of Honor burnt
their collections Of novels and plays, and
sent to. booksellers to buy each of
them bible, and Bishop Taylor's Holy
Living and Dying. The run upon the
Bank was SO prodigious, that all hands
were employed from morning till night
in discounting notes and handing out
the specie. On Thursday, considerable
more than 1000 kept mistresses were le-
gally married in the face of several con-
gregations. And to crown the whole
farce, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, at that
time head director Of the Bank. issued
orders to all the FIRE officers in London,
requiring them to keep a good look out
and have particular eye ON the Bank
of England.--Oiio.

An interesting experiment was tried
at Newcastle last week, on the state of
the atmosphere. A kite was sent up,
having attached to it piece of butchers
meat, fresh haddock, and a loaf of
bread. The kite ascended to a consid-
cradle height, and remained at that ele-
vation for an hour and a quarter.
When brought to the ground it was
found that the fish and the piece Of meat
were both in putrid state, particularly
the fish, and the loaf, when examined
through microscope, was discovered to
be pervaded with legions of animalcul@.
1t may be worth while to repeat the ex-
pertinent in other places to which the
cholera may unfortunately extend itself

a Modern HGmLet--The tranquility
of our peaceful streets, was yesterday in
terrupted by the appearance Of a large
and athletic man, bearing in his right
hand a naked knife, and with wild and
incoherent expressions of mingled grief,
rage and shame, threatening dreadful
vengence upon some real or imaginary
enemy. Upon enquiry, it was ascertain
ed that he was respectable young man
of this city, Of mild and inoffensive hab-
its that in his fathers absence, as he al
legged, at Liverpool, his mother had mar
ried another. His mind had been previ-
ously weakened by fits 70 which he was
constitutionalIy subject, and the condnct
of his mother proved too much for his
reason. He possessed himself of knife,
and rushed through the streets in search
of the author of his family's dishonor.
The police being made acquainted with
the fact, one of the officers undertook to
apprehend him, in doing which severe
struggle :ook place. The maniac, with
the strength which generally accompa-
MES madness, succeeded in inflicting on
the officer several severe wounds in the
face, and received himself in the desper.
ate contest much injury. He was at length
seized and carried to tho hospital. After
having been placed in the cart, and when
weak and motionless from exhaustion
and injury, he continued to mutter in.

and grief which still struggled in hi,

Extraordinary &ory.-The following
interesting particulars have just reached

1t appears that young commercial tray-
eller stopped at a public house in a
small village, where he meant to lodge
for the night and having two pistols by
him, he warned the innkeeper to be ca,l-
tious Of touching them, as they were
loaded. He went to bed, and before
daylight, was preparing to start in his
gig, when he noticed that his horse had
cast shoe. He procured a blacksmith
who put on tho shoe; and having acci-
dentally observed that a screw Of his
pistol was loose, he desired the black
smith to FIX il. The man pm, the pistol
