THE CURE FOR DraFSEss.-We mentioned

deaf in both ears IN conversation il was diiti-

wretched state nntil about eighteen years of

who told her mother, Mrs. B., that the oil Of
onion and tobacco would cure her if prepared

"Dvidc an onion, and from the centre take

was released, on giving bail in the sum of Sl0,-
900. Mr.. RadfoTd, his security, is also one of
the owners of the boat but, as he WAS not on
arrested. None of the officers have been taken
into custody yet, but in each case the same
amount of bail will be required.
The warrants were issued under the authority
of an act of Congress, passed July, 1888, which
provides, that captain, pilot, or any officers on
board of a steamboat, shall be deemed guilty of
manslaughter for any life or lives lost through
their misconduct or recklessness, and be punish
cd by imprisonment, ut hard labor, for period
of not more than ten years.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT FROM CANpHISE.-A
most heart-rending accident occurred on Tues
day night about o'clock in Fayette-street,
near Run alley. The particulars, as we could
gather them yesterday morning, are these: {:
Two girls, one the daughter of Mr.. Fickc, and
the other an orphan living with Mrs. Goodwin,
went over to the bakery of Mr.. Eckart for
something in his line, and when standing near
the counter, Mrs. Eckart commenced filling the
lamp with camphine whilst it was lighted, and
observing when it was full, having her ntten-
ton drawn to something else, let considerable
quantity run over, which Immediately ignited
and spread over most of the counter, setting
fire 10 the dresses of herself and both the girls.
Hiss Fcke ran into the street with her clothes
all in 4 blaze, and is most shockingly burnt.
She was alive yesterday morning, but there is
very little hope of her recovery. Mrs Eckart
and the orphan girl are both very much injured,
but it is thought they will recover. The name
of the orphan girl is Augusta Stiner, and her
age about lS years.
Since writing the above, we learn that Miss
Agnes Ficke. expired about noon, having lin
gered on till that time in great agony The
orphan girl, Miss Stiner, is recovering as rapid.
Iyas could be expected, and the attending ply
sician is of the opinion that her life is not now
in jeopardy! Mrs. Ecknrt's' injuries were not
so sercrc'as oendanger her >life.-Balt. Amer.

REroRTED NOMINATION OF Mr.. WEBSTER
The Washington Union received by telegraph,
ON Saturday night, from Philadelphia, detailed
account of the nomination of Mr.. Webster for
the Presidency by a meeting calling itself the
National Union Convention. The report gives
the full organization of the convention and a
record of its proceedings. ]. Wayne Kennedy,
of Pennsylvania, is mentioned as the nominee
of the convention for the Vice Presidency on
the second ballot. The Union doubts the cor

Saturday evening makes no mention Of any

RCHIIIEU ROBINSON AND HICKORY SWITCH
MODEST REQUEST have received from w.
E. Robinson, better known as slievegammon' or
"Rchilieu Robinson long letter in reply to our
New Hampshire correspondent, "Hickory Switch"
whose letter, which appeared in the HERALD on the
18th of August, has eAectually shown up said
Robnsons Justification of records and perversion of
facts, in his speech in the Bowery on the 9th Of
August in relation to the local history of General
Pierce and his father. If our readers will take the
trouble of recollecting such stuff they will find
that the gist of the whole speech was an attack
upon General Pierce's father, and the State of New
Hampshire, holding the son responsible, not only for
the sins of omission and commission of his father,
but for the deliDquencies of the people of whole
State, of all shades Of politics. We published
port Of that speech by our own reporter, whose
curacy was not questioned at the time, aud that
the speech actually delivered. In several sue
cessive numbers Of the Tribune and Times, was
published in parts what purported to be report Of
the same speech, but which was pamphlet written
beforehand, and in type before the meeting COM
menced 1t is unnecessary to say that this never
delivered, it would be physically impossible to do
it in thrice the time occupied by the speaker The
result was tnht our report contained some points
omitted in the previously printed speech and which
probably occurred to the orator at the time speak
ing, while of course the " cut and dred' version
contained many things left out of the spoken speech
!" Hickory Switch" in order to make sure, replied
to the two versiops-the true one that appeared in
the HERALD, and the authorized" one that appear
cd in the Tl7bune-and he made minced meat Of
both, convicting Robinson Of twelve falsehoods in
all, and claiming one hundred dollars for each,
which Robinson promised to deposit and fork over
for every misstatement proved against him, but
which he appears 70 have totally forgotten from
that day to this On the contrary, he has been in
dustriously engaged in circulating the speech, false
hoods and all, ever since, as a campaign election
paper
Andnow this hack writer ofthe Tribune and Times
makes the very modest request that we should pub.
lish letter Of his-probably containing more mis-
the orginalspecch. We publish.
ed his speech and we published " Hickory Switsh's"
structures in reply This is about as much justice
requires. But We will be liberal; and fthe Trbpne
