melancholy occurrence which took place at
Wallinglord on Sunday night the Goth inst.
Three young men were employed watching
a coal-pit. near which as is customary. a
cabin was built to protect the workmen from
the inclemency oflhe weather, The young
men bad retired into the cabin, which was
well supplied with straw, and it appears
they also had fire. From the account the
young men gave they must all have fallen
asleep and when they awoke they were com.
pletely enveloped in flames and being some
what bewidered, they could not readily dis
cover the entrance TO the cabin, but finally
succeeded in getting out, though their clothes
were entirely consumed, and their bodies
aud limbs literally roasted-in this borrid
condition they were able to reach the house

young men, distance OF about half mile
but in situation not easily to be imagined

A Series of Disasiers.-A few weeks ago
a boy of Gideon Hulit, near Allentown, fell
into his fathers mill pond, while sliding on
the ice. One of his brothers was near, and
went 10 his assistance, but broke through
the ice himself A third and fourth brother,
and then the father, attracted by he cries OF
the drowning boys, ran, one alter another,
to save them but they too fell through the
ice. The father and one OF the boys extri-
Gated themselves but was unable 10 rescue
the three others.
At the funeral Of these boys, the carriage
of their uncle was dashed to pieces. the hor-
ses becoming FESTIVE, and the uncle's collar
bone broken or dislocated Those who
had been in this carriage, got into another,
which was also overturned and broken /;
and the horses ran against the vehicle Of an
other uncle; upset it, and threw out those
who were inside, without, however injur.
ing them seriousy.-li was reported, also,
saws our informant, that the father of the
boys, on returning from the funeral, found
his house on fire.
The murderers of General Bull of Able
vile district South Carolina, have been dis
covered and committed to prison. 1t will
be remembered that the General was killed
on the 9th utimo, and that it was then sns-
pected that some OF his slaves were the as
sassins. This has proved to be the case
When the crime was committed, the muir
derers placed the body upon his horse, with
his foot in the sirrnp and then frightened
the horse so that the strrup was broken by
the fall of the body. BY this ari6ce they
endeavored TO produce the impression thai
the death was accidental. But the nature o.
the wounds and the blood upon the ground
at distance proved that he had been beat
en- on the head by heavy stick.
