DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.
Four Men SIM thered to Death

BY a slip from the Worcester Transcript.
we learn that a dreadful catastrophe occurred
in that city Monday morning resulting in the
death of four persons. The Transcript q ives
the following account of the sad affair:
"At half-past y o'clock this morning,a fire
broke out in tho Worcester County House. in
this city, by which four lives were lost. The
fire occurred in the new north wing of the
prison, and in the basement beneath the low
er tier of cells where the furnace is located.
1t was communicated to the air box of the
furnace, and thence to the surrounding wood
work. The fire department was on the ground
as soon as the alarm could be given, and sue
ceeded in preventing the fire from communi-
eating to other portions of the prison. Be
fore any thing could, however, be done to
arrest the flames, or release the persons in
confinement, the smoke and heat aSccndcd
through the iron gratings to the cells above
the doors and fastenin.s of which had become
so much heated in consequence, that it wa:
impossible to open them. Capt. Lamb, the
architect of the prison, was sent for, and sue
ceeded in removing some of the tasteningS
so that the doors were forced open as speedi,
as possible, but not till four insane men har
been smothered to death by the dense smok,
and heat which poured through the grating
into their cells. In the several tiers of cell
in this wing, there were in confinement
men, 81 women, one of whom had an infan
child. Fourteen of the women were in con
fnement for various offences; the other Il
women and the men were insane person
who had recently been removed to the priS
on for safe keeping, in consequence of the o
yer crow Led state of the Lunatic Hospital
The whole were safely rescued, except the
before mentioncd the other man possessc,
Sutlicicnt reason to wrap himself in a blanke
and thus saved his life. although he came nea
perishing. The bodies of the other -four
which we have just seen, present mos
-hastly spectacle, though they were burnc
but slightly. The following are their name,
William O'kcith, an lrishnan, aged l. :
had been in the Hospital since 1919.
: Thomas Downes, of Worcester, aged abou
j 40.
James Fitz Patrick Irish, aged so or GO; hat
| been in the Hospital since 1916.
Bucklin j. Duchee, of Rhode Island, age,
-, carpenter,and had been in the Hospita
since lS45.
Such in brief are the particulars of thi
: shocking catastrophe, for the occurrence of
which we are happy to say no blame can b.
attached to the Keeper of the Prison, or hi
Assistants

the great mistake of his life was the lannon's

Bridge,gater Fire and WeatherDroof Paint -

Bridgewater Fire and Weatherproof Paint
We copy the following notice of this celebra-
ted paint from the New Orleans Crescent:
The Brigewater Fire and WeatherproofP Paint,
the reputation of which is firmly established in
this city, offers more inducements for general
use in the South than any pigment yet known
in this country. 1t possesses peculiar driving
properties, which, in a short time, form a hard.
solid metallic coating upon bricks, iron, and
other metallic surfaces. and on wood, canvas
and paper. Its f1exibilitv and adhesiveness are
surprising, and possessing no poisonous prop
critics, is used on roofs with perfect safety.
1t surpasses any paint we have ever heard of,
and is sold at a less price. Where economy
and superiority are combined, we should sup
pose no further commentator would be re.
quired; yet so incredulous are we, as a people.
that we have to be assured and treasured. that
it is to our interest before we venture to adopt
the use of a newly introduced article, or devil
ate from "the old beaten track"
10 planters and others, we would saw. that it
costs but a trifie to try it, and, when tried, will
need no endorsement from us, as you will be-.
as we are, firm believers in the pre-emi.
nent qualities of the Bridgewater Mineral over
all other substances extant. t

Steamboat Erplosions.--Besides the Glen.
coe. whose explosion recently at st. Louis was
of such a terrible nature, we see recorded the
explosion of another, the Redstone, which hap
pened just above Madison, on the Ohio, oppo-
site the residence of the Rev. Mr.. Scott. This
gentleman had just got aboard, and as his wife
was about turning from him her last look, the
boilers exploded, sending him high into the air,
causing his death, and killing many of the pas
sengers and crew she was a small boat, aud
the accident is said to have occurred through
negligence and incapacity. And here is another:
Another Steamboat E~rpzosion--Sr. LOUIS,
April l2.-The steamboat Sazuda, which left
here on the 10th for Council Bluffs, with one
hundred passengers, principally Mormons, ex-
ploded two of her boilers while backing out at
Lexington. All the officers, with the exception
of the mate and one pilot, were killed. We
have no particulars in regard to the loss of life
the passengers.
