CAST Iron PAVEMENT Mr.. Thomas A.
Davies, Of the city OF New York. has pub.
lished pamphlet, in which he proposes
cast-iron plates with rough surfaces, as a
substitute for all other kind, which some
think that they excel both in cheapness
and durability. He bolts the plates down
to slight elastic wood. There are some
obvious advantages belonging to this style
Of paving; such as facility Of removal in
order to get access 10 pipes and drains be.
meath. The plates may be cast with such
accuracy, as to allow Of being laid down
at distant places, and are represented as
cheaper than the granite pavement, and
are Of course more durable.

The Corydon la.) Argus, of the 18th,
gives us the details OF terrible affair that
occurred in Harrison county on Thursday
night last. On that day man named

one Of his neighbors TO spree, or house,

OF the iamily-conssting Of John Hama
gan, his wife, and six children, Mrs. o.
Donnell; Patrick Slave, one adult person,
name unknown, and one child Of John
O'Donnell, deceased-went to sleep under
the influence OF liquor. While asleep the
house by some means caught fire, and the
roof falling in, every one OF the inmates.
twelve in number, met with IL horrible DEATH
The Argus says:
1.-The spectacle presented to the persons
who first reached the scene o! the disaster
was horrible and distressing in the extreme.
No sound Was heard save the Kissing of
the fire and crash Of falling timbers, every
member OF the family having already ex-
pired: but through the burning chinks of
tho house the by-standers could discern
the still unconsuned bodies OF the occu- :
pants. There lay the mother with the
body OF her dead infant still clasped to
her bosom, TO which the. little sufferer had .
clung in the .ast agones of this horrible
death. tthe6right flames shooting even from
the eye sockets of the unfortunate mother
A sad. sad house warming ii proved to be,
indeed. The charred remains of eleven
persons have been found amid the ruins.
whilst it is known that one child is lost,
whose remains have not be discovered"
