EXPENSIVE CITY.-It costs as much to govern
the city of New York year, as it does tho
whole State of Pennsylvania for six. The Courier
says there are sirteen States in the Union which
could have their aggregate expenses paid twice oper
by what it costs to govern that single city.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENr.-We find the following
description of terrible accident which occurred
in school in Philadelphia, in the + IL ylvanian
of the 22d ult.:
The school contains some six or seven hundred
pupils, of both sexes, whose ages range from six to
fifteen years. The building is two.story one, and
the upper portion of it is occupied by the female
scholars. Some mischievous boys in one of tho
front lower rooms, tn amuse themselves, lighted
pieces of paper and put them in the fue. The
burning paper was carried upwards by the draught,
and bazed out through the grating of the valve of
the flne in one of the front class rooms, up stairs.
The schoars-all grls-in this part of the building,
hearing the roaring sound ascending the Aue, and
seeing the sparks and blaze made by the ignited
combustible, as was natural for children, became
frightened, and thinking that the school on fire,
were instantly seized with general panic, and no
their teachers. A terrible scene ensued. Tho
aHrgnted children, numbering between two and
three hundred, ran serambling out of the rooms,
and, wild and frantic, rushed pell-mell down the
PACK stairs. AT the last descending turn of the
flight, near the bottom, a miserablv constructed
bannister gave way, with crash under the heavy
pressure of the animated torrent that came stream
ing resistlessly downwards, and the whole mass of
children were precipitated the distance of several
feet, into the entry. where they literally Piled
ten or twelve Deep upon each other, with the fa2-
ments of the broken railing on the top of them. A
Miss Caroline Hess, young lady about IA years
old. daughter of MI. Hess, baker, in Front street,
near Catbarine, sustained compound fracture of
the leg both the fbula and tibia being badly bro
KEN The earring of one girl caught in the railing,
as she was tumbling into the passage way, and was
torn completely from her ear, leaving shocking
laceration. Some fears were felt for the life Of
Miss Smith, residing, we were told, in Federal
street, whose face was dreadfully confused. Cath
arine Burk, Plum street, above Third, had her
face and head horribly cut; and Agnes Moat,
Mead alley laid for long time before she evinced
any signs Of life."
number of others were also slightly injured.
Several Physicians were speedily in attendance,
and rendered prompt professional aid to the suffer-
ers. The Ledger, in noticing the cause of the
fright, relates the following incident:
"During the examination, it was elected that the
boys in the lower class times displayed their
galantry by sending notes up through the heater to
their sweehearts above, the hot air carrying the
mssives out through the vent in the upper class
room. few days previous note of this kind was
shown to the teacher, which contained the words,
Respects to Anna and Jane B. B.
