Distressing and Mysterious Dccth.-
Died at Chatham, on the 18th inst. Miss
Dolly Bailey, aged 27: The circum-
stances of her death were distressing
and mysterious about twenty
weeks, previous to the Odd ofApriI. she
had been confined 10 her room, by n
lingering illness; from which, however,
she had so far recovered, as to have dis
missed her watchers. Between 3 aud
a o'clock on the morning Of the 22d of
April, the family were aroused from
their slumbers, hv her slIricks aud cries
for relief On entering her room, they
found her envoloped in flames. The
unconsumedpart other night clothes was

Rsmovals.-The Clay papers have
made great Outcry about removals
since the presen. administration came
into power. BY tabular statement in
the Washington Globe, we are enabled
to state the actual extent to which this
power had been exercised at Washing
ton. 1t appears there were 333 individ-
uals holding Office at Washington, at
the will of the President when Gen.
Jackson came into office. Of these 243
were opposed to his administration, and
30 in favor oft. Since then thero have
been A removals, ii designations, IA
deaths, and one discontinuance. Some
of the vacancies have beea supplied with
persons friendly, and some with persons
unfriendly to the President. Atpresent
there are 1877 persons holding their Office
at Washington at the will Of the Presi-
dent who are opposed to him politically,
and lac who are friendly to him, polliti-
cally. Hence it will be seen that while
under the former administration, the
democracy ofthe country held hut 90 out
ofthe 333 offices at the seat of Govern
ment-and that under the present ad-
ministration, the democracy have only
LAG out of 333. And yet the outcry a
gainst the President the charge Of pro-
scription, &c. Nothing short Of giving
them all the offices in the country will
ever satisfy sthe aristocracy--that is
plain. They think all the Offices belong
by brthright to the gentlemen ms they
call themselyes-and that the vulgar peo-
pie have no sort Of right to any thing in
that way.-When General Jackson came
into power he foand nearly all the Off
ces every where, State and National, in
the hands of the aristocrats-they had
silently been prescribing the people, the
democracy of the country for years-and
had worked all but little remnant out.
He commenced reform in that matter,
for which the people will thank him.
he turned the worthless out---he dismiss
ed Watkins and his coadiutors--aud he
broke down the principle of -patrician
succession. This is his offence-that
having been elected by the people, he
has remembered the people, Trenton

burnt in most awful and shocking man
ner.-In this distressing and painful
situation, she languished twenty days.
Tho manner of her taking fire is myster-
ious and unaccountable. During her
illness she was much afflicted with pain
in her side to relieve which, a bag of
warm ashes was frequently applied. 1t
is supposed, that she arose at the time
above mentioned, and went to the fire
place to replenish the bag of ashes and
that her clothing accidentally took fire,
and that she was unable to extinguish it.
What adds most to the mystery, in the
fact, tina. there was no lighted candle or
lamp in the room, aud only one coal of
fire, about the size OF hens egg, in the
fire place.-Conn Mirror.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.-A man and
woman, who called themselves Phillips,
say they are from New-Jersey, and who
occupied some portion Of our County
Quarter Sessions last week, have been
lodged in gaol, on suspicion of being in
possession ofa child who does not belong
10 them.-The child is beautiful and in
teresting little boy, with blue eyes, light
hair, and well formed oval face, and not
a trace of parentage discoverable in its
re puted progenitors. The child Is more
over apparently well-bred, and says it
had brothers and sisters, all of which it
represents to be dead.
The accounts which its reputed parents
give concerning the child are very con-
Trajectory and since their confinement
they are very much averse to have it ex-
amined. They state that they were mar
ried not long since by Alderman Norton,
of Philadelphia, and that they had the
child with them at the time. The child
sometimes says they are its parents, and
sometimes denies that they are.
+. These persons have been lodged in
prison, for thirty days, in order that in
formation concerning the child, should it
be stolen, may be obtained.

and his associates had excited suspicion
for long time, by their nocturnal ex-
cursions and keeping somewhat secluded
during the day. They lived in house
at the west end Of the city, where they
were found late in the day, Thursday, in
sound sleep, with socks Of wool by
their side, made expressly for walking
lightly, and some hickory clubs for de.
fence. Twenty to thirty keys were found
supposed to be intended to unlock stores

Melancholy Accident. .-On Thursday
last the 10th ult. as Mr.. Joseph Clarkson,
Lumber Merchant, was endeavoring to
get his timber down the river Laguaro,
in the township of Rawdon, canoe in
which were five men and himself, upset
just on the top of what is called the grand
chute-two Of the men were SO FORUM
ate as to jump on small island which
was convenient; Mr.. G. and the other
three were in an instant swept down tho
dreadful cataract, and the three unfor-
tunatc men were seen no more.
Mr.. G. (whose intrepidity of mind on
the occasion was astonishing,) succeed
ed in keeping himself clear of the rocks
and descended tothe bottom without any
material injury: he then by extraordina-
ry effort laid hold of a piece of timber
and got ashore his escape may be con-
sidered miraculous when it is understood
that the water falls in this place the dis
tance of 100 feet over tremendous rocks,
and at the bottom where he laid hold
Of the timber, there is upwards of 20
fathom of water. The names of the
poor men who were drowned are as
follows John Matthewson, foreman, a
Scotchman, George Robinson, and
Thomas Dyre, Englishmen-we under
stand Robinson has left a wife and child
to mourn his untimely fate--their bod
les have not yet been foupd.-COurdnt.

We copy the following article from
the New Orleans Mercantile Adver-
tiser Of the 7th inst. 1t is indeed,
A Uonder. 1t having become nscesya-
ry to open one of the tombs IN the Cath
olic burial ground, to inter another body
in the same tomb, the individuals ope-
ming the same were surprised to find
that the body of man which had been
entombed five years, had still every
appearance Of recent dea.h, the coffin
and shroud had mouldered into dust !;
and there, bare and exposed, laid the
body, after five years entombment.-
When the persons moved the body to
make room for th1Dcoffin which was to
be placed in the same vault, the blood
ran in its natural state from under the
same. This information has been given
to us by u gentleman whose veracity
may be relied upon.
