AWFUL CALAMITY.

We copy from the Kittanning, (Arm-
strong Co.. Gazette, tho following ac-
count Of most distressing occurrence:
"On the night ofFriday, the 18th inst.
the house and barn Of Captain John G.
Kissinger, Of Toby township, in this Co.
were consumed by fire, and what is most
shocking to relate, nine Of his children
persisted tn the flames! The parents were
absent on a visit to Miss Kissinger's, u
distance Of about eight miles. Out ofe-
leven children, two only are left-one
an infant, which the parents had with
them, the other daughter Of years Of
age, who was away from home. The
way the fire originated is not KNOWN
and it was not discovered till about 9 o.
clock the following morning. One horse
and large quantity Of grain was con-
sumed; in short, nothing was left in or
about the house or barn unconsumed.
A gentleman who had been present at
the scene Of the calamity, subsequently
called upon us, from whom We learned
few additional particulars. The suf-
ferers were from nineteen years Of age,
downwards. So far as could be observ-
ed, the bones were in the same relative
position in which they slept, which leads
to the belief that they were smothered
in their beds by the smoke before the
flames reached them. One only had
gone to different part of the house,
Awful as was the agent Of their death, il
was probably attended with but little SUI:
fering. The unhappy parents, we are
told, were at first, (and very prudently
too) only informed Of the destruction o
their property. The father returned OF
Saturday, but the mother remained a
her fathers until the next morning, still
] Ignorant Of the extent Of her loss. Whel
she arrived, she surveyed for a moment
the smoking ruins, and then asked for hs'
children =! Let the reader imagine, if b.
can, the effect Of the shocking disclos
ure.
III 1t is remarkable circumstance, an
one calculated 10 heighten If possibl
, the distress Of these parents, that thei
Oldest child was burnt 10 death som
years since.
II A horse and yoke Of oxen wer
burnt. A dog that lay in the barn, wa
burnt, and his bones were found in tn
D place he was accustomed to lie. Tw
large hogs were consumed in the pei
= although the door was open.
/, On Sunday the bones Of the childre
were collected, deposited in coffin an
: buried, in presence Of large concours
, ofsympathsng friends and neighbors-
y An impressive discourse was delivere
e at the grave by the Rev. MIR. M'Ga
:, raugh.
: 1t would be but mockery in us to a
n tempt to excite, or to heighten, by ar
r reflections of ours, the feelings Of syn
n pathy and commisseration which mu
o burst forth in every, feeling heart upc
o the perusal Of the above narration. W
il do not remember Of having heard Of
visitation Of Providence upon u sing
d family, so overwhelming, SO desolatin
so fraught with every circumstance

A WHALE TAKRN IN OUR HARBoR.-
Our watermen along shore yesterday de-
scribed an unusual visiler in our waters,
aud after some observation pronounced
him to be Whale. Immediately ar
engagements were made TO receive him
with the hospitalties usual on such oc-
cas'ons. Three boats started in pursuit
from the Fort, followed by three others
from the Pier. The bout comma nded
by Capt. Thomas, the keeper Of the
Fort, had approached in position to hal, =
poon him, when gun from one Of the
other boats, caused the animal to sheer,
and he started off in a dire ction for Nor
rls' Cove. Passing by the wharf, no
struck aground near the shore, where he
was attacked and killed. AT low tide
assistance was obtained, and he was
drawn upon the shore high and dry
One Of the boats, commanded by Mr..
Ward, adventured too near, and wus
struck by the Whale in his dying strug-
giles, which smashed the boat in pieces,
and broke an arm Of one ofthe boatmsn. J..
The whale is apparently u young one,
about GO feet in length.

But those awful letters scared his eye;
For he knew Prophet Voice had said,

And the letters still more legible grew

While some surmissd twas mn ancient way

Who had thereto wonderful bias,)
And proved. in books most lesrn'dly boring,
Twas called the 'Pontick way Of scoring.

From the Alerandria Gazette.

There was long debate in the Sen
ate on Saturday, in relation to the ap-
preparation to pay Force & Clark for
printing documentary history of the
United States, which work had been
authorized under an act of Congress in
1898, and was proceeding under a con-
tract made with Mr.. Livingston, Sec
rotary of State. In the course of the
debate, Mr.. Hull, of New Hampshire,
read speech against the appropria.
ton.
Mr.. CHAMBERS, in reference to some
thing which had fallen from Mr.. HUI,
on the subject of rewarding printers,
&C. said he would tell story. He
was once travelling over the Allegany
mountains, wher he stopped AT a hut,
kept by respectable old gentleman
who entertained men and horses. Con.
versing with the old gentleman on the
subject Of rattlesnakes, which abound.
ed there, he (Mr. c. made some in.
quiries, and gained some information
as TO their natural history. 81 don't
know how they live, said the old man,
but know how they die. There is
an old stump a little from the hut.
where an old rattlesnake lived for a
great many years, and died at last from
the poison othis own venom"
Mr.. PoINDExTER read an amend
n1ent which he would move, by wav
Of addition to the original clause,
should the present amendment fail.
He recommended 10 the person who
had read a tract this morning on the
subject Of payment to printers, TO dedl.
cate 1t to Edward Livingston and An
drew Jackson, and it would doubtless
have a good effect upon their future
action.
Mr.. HILL said that The Senator from
Maryland had told story about a
rattle-snake, but he had not told the
whole. The attention of the old man
was called to the stump by the cack.
