Tragedy in Iowa.

We learn from Burlington Iowa, that ter
rible tragedy was enacted on Friday Goth inst
near Fort Smelling. 1t appears that some five
years since, man named VIM. Wingaie, and
possessed of considerable property settled with
his family in Poliawatlomic Co. in Iowa, and
took up large track of land. Soon after he
became convert to Mormonism and abandoned
his family, but about year since returned and
claimed possession of his property which was
all yielded to him by his sons two Of whom had
married during his absence, and the mother and
sons refusing the overtures towards reconcil-
iation, removed and settled a short distance
from Fort Smelling.
Wlngate seems, since that time, to have as
ISOLATED himself with gang of half-breeds of
the most lawless character, and on Thursday
last, in company with several of them, again
visited his family and claimed shelter His
sons offered every hospitality 10 him, but
would not admit his companions. and they all
accordingly left together, but on Friday night
returned again, and on being refused admit
lance, and the door closed against them, they
fired upon the inmates, killing Mrs. Wingale
and the eldest of the four yonng men. They
subsequently set fire TO the building, and as
the surviving inmates attempted 10 escape the
Two Young women were killed, and the dwell
ing and oul-houses then burned 10 ashes.

Another Dreadful Accident.

A most extraordinary case OF explosion
occurred 10 this city yesterday, which occa-
stoned the alarm of fire soon after eleven
o'clock, and will probably result IN the re-
cording of another victim TO the fatal enec's
of burning fluid.
Miss Mary F. Choate, aged between 10
and IL, daughter-in.lnw OF nr, Iienty
Buxton, was engaged in making bread III
the pantry of his house, CaItonv'lie, when
can of burning huid at some distance from
where she was occupied, suddenly exploded,
scattering the fluid in all directions, and en-,
veloping The young girl 10 flames. She i'm
mediately ran into the kitchen and seized
hold of her mother, clasping her so tightly
that it was with some difficulty that the lat
ter dseugaged herself, and not without be-
ing considerably burned. The mother, as
soon as possible, ran for water, couple of
buckets full happening to be near, and ex-
tinguished the flames, and the neighbors,
hearing the alarm, soGn gave their assistance.
The girl was dreadfully injured her clothes
being nearly all consumed and her hair, face
and body 50 shockingly burned, that there Is
but slight chance OF Der reviving. She re-
tained consciousness Yesterday afternoon,
but The medical advisers gave but little hope
OF her recovery. TIE house was damaged
to some extent by the fire, but the progress
of the flames was stopped by the neighbors
before the arrival of the engines. There
was a cooking stove in the pantry, hut The
can stood on shelf several feet distant,
where no FIRE could communicate with it,
II was gallon can, covered, and the nose
stopped tightly, and could not have con-
tanned more than quart Of fluid, as il was
filled about week ago, and had been used
from, constantly since. The bottom was
burst out, aud the handle torn off by the
force of the explosion. We do not remem-
ber another instance of the ignition of any

RETURN OF THE STEAMSHIP Hermann
The steamship Hermann, Higgins, which

produced by heavy weather. which has lately
prevailed along the coast, where, according to
regular sonndines, there should be more than
ample depth at high wafer for vessel of her
draught and tonnage. A heavy ground swell
was running at the time, which lifted her and
caused her to strike twice very heavily. After
finding that she made considerable water, the
Captain and pilot thought it most prudent to
return. She experienced severe gale during
the whole of Saturday night. and arrived at
her pier yesterday, at O'Clock, P. M.-Ne,o
