A large building, in Palmyra, in this county,

on which two Of his children wero sleeping
and carried it out; returning, blinded by the
smoke and fire, he mitook the bed on which
were his two other children and carried out
another. The screams and cries of the children
in the flames revealed to the horror stricken
parents the fatal mistake, and the falling timbers
and roof had already cut off all attempts at
rescue. We are told by an eye witness that
the children were rel eatedly heard to call for

to hear their babes, above the roar of the flames,
cry to them for help, when a,as fiery wall

Holterman ana his wife were both baqly burned,

Married and given i'm Marriage

An Australia correspondent of the Alta Cali
jornia gives quite an interesting account OF the
British convict system in Van Dieman's Land,
and thus describes the marrying mania which
exists among the conyicts who cut at service,
and the reason therefor. He writes:
But the only care Of the government seem.
t, be to get these people off their hands fast
as possible, and another method has now been
hit upon in finding ready market for thousands
of the convicts, and thereby relieving The exche

The same with a male convict. BY marrying

THE SENATORIAL DIFFICULTIES
The South vs. North.

AS the time approaches which was fixed b,
the Legislature for the election Of U. S. Sena.
ator, The interest felt in the result begins TO in
crease, and an attentive ear from all parts o
the District is turned towards the Capital. This
interest is not unnatural. There is ample cause
for its existence, in the fact that the present Is
the most important period, perhaps, that has
ever marked the political history Of this State
1t is question which involves not so much the
election of U. S. Senator, as questions OF Other
and much greater magnitude
In the duty which the Legislature is called
upon to discharge, the question arises whether
the Senator shall be Northern or q Southern

are small indeed, when compared with those

A WARNING.

Ono of our most deserving citizens was seri-
onsly injured, or rather was nearly being so, by
the carelessness of some one on Main Street
leaving the cellar door open at night. As he
was vending his way home after the close OF
the days labors, the night was SO dark that he
did not observe the danger before him and was
SO violently precipitated into the cellar tina, he
lay there in state Of insensibility from 4
o'clock at night until 4, o'clock the next morn-
ing. Had the weather been severely cold as at
present he must have per,shed without doubt.
This should serve as caution to all owners Of
property, to say nothing of their neighborly and
christian obligations. We recollect observing
in a recent number of our exchanges, notice of
a case in Boston in which $4,000, damages were
recovered against property holder, by person
who had his leg broken by stepping on cellar
door which gave way under him and caused the
injury.
There are some cellar doors, by the way, on
Main Street, that might be greatly improved
