SHOCKING MURDER.-The New York papers

murder, committed there on Monday night by

wife. This murder is in some respects similar
to the late tragedy at Philadelphia. Neary it
appears, while in his sober senses, deliberate

cutters mallet and chisel until her skull was
crushed in several places, and she was render.

eldest of which, boy Is years of age, test

The following account OF shocking ac-
cident from the bursting Of fluid lamp is
given in the Worcester (Mass) Transcript.
We re-publish it as a fresh warning against
the use o! this very dangerous article.
We copied day or two since paragraph,
briefly stating that the wife of Dea. Perley
Allen, of Fiskdale was burned to death on
Tuesday evening by the burning of fluid
lamp. The particulars OF this accident, are of
the most shocking character. She was sit
ting by the lamp when it burst, from some
unexplained cause, communicating the fire to
her dress. There was TO one in the house
but an aged man, who was too feabe to rend-
er any assistance. hrs. Allen ran to bed,
in which she rolled herself to extinguish the
! fire from her person. She succeeded in doing
so, but not until her clothes were entirely
consumed from her waist downward, and her
flesh burnt to crisp.
In the meantime. the fluid had set the room
on fire; yet notwithstanding her terrible con-
dtion, she had the almost superhuman cour-
age and presence of mind to think OF ex-
tineushing the fire, which, by this time, had
communicated to various parts of the room.
With this purpose in view, she ran to the well
and drew pail after pail of water, which she
dashed around the room till the fire was sub
dued, thus saving the house and the life
OF an aged and helpless man. She then ran
into the street and '-de her condition known.
She was so badly burnt that portions of her
flesh and also her finger nails came of, and
one part of her back was almost literally
rostcd, burning her ,,inwardly. She fingered
in excrucating torture, but in full possession
of her faculties. for nine hours, when death
terminated her sullerings. She was fiitysix
years of age.

STREsT CLEASrNs MAoHINEs.-A man
named Nurton Rankin, st. Louis, has in
vented machine for cleaning streets, which
is thus spoken Of by the Republican:
1t is scrapcr SO peculiarly constructed
that as it passes over the street 1t throws the
earth on the street up in rows, at the curb
stones, much like plough will throw the sod
over in a particular direction. When the
earth and eeaningsof the street are thus de-
posted, another machine throws the whole
into heaps convenient to be carted away. 1t
is said by mechanics and others, who have
examined the model, that with two horses &
two men, the labor Of fifty men can be per
formed in less time.
