Mr.. Douglas has given notice in the Senate of
an intention to introduce resolution fixing the
first Monday cfOctober for the annual meeting of
Congress in future. The change will be good
one, ii made. Under the present system Con.
gress does not get to work in earnest before the
middle of January The christmas holidays have
a long beginning and a long ending. Members
of Congress are fond of frock as schouboys
They should not be allowed to have it, until they
have entitled themselves by some months honest
labor. We hope Mr.. Douglas will succeed in
carrying through the proposed reform.

BAPTIST ANNIvERsARIEs.-The General As
ISOLATION Says the Richmond Enquirer of Fri
day. met yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock, in the
Second Baptist Church. The Association was
called to order by the Rev. j. Il. Jeter and the
usual opening ceremonies proceeded with. A
Committee on Delegation was appointed, who re-
turned report of the members.
At the hour of II the Association adjourned to
hear the annual sermon. This was delivered by
the Rev. Il. G. JONES' of Norfolk, and was able
discourse; its main design was to urge upon the
members of the Baptist Church the duty of max
ing strenuous efforts to enlargeits borders and in
crease its numbers by earnest, active, dlgent
and united efforts. Though characterised by a
strict regard TO the peculiar sentiments of the
Baptist denomination, it is believed the lecturer
gave universal satisfaction. After sermon, the
Association again met, and proceeded to business
eced with the organization.
Yesterday afternoon there was a meeting in
the same church, in behalf of Domestic Missions
of the Southern Baptist Convention The as
semby was addressed by Dr. Teasdale, of Wash
mgton, and by Dr. Tucker of Alexandria.

RICHARD MCRAE,has proved to be correct. Cant
ScorT, who upon hearing the painful rumor, i'm

evening, returned last night, bringing conirma-

The body was discovered floating upon the wat
err Thursday morning. and secured. 1t was
thought by those who saw the body which bore
evident marks of violence, that foul play had been
practiced on him. This, however, is mere con
lecture; and It may be- that in falling from the
steamer, he struck his head against the boat, or
that he fell when the vessel was at the wharf and
came IN contact with some of the tmbers A cor.

Terrible Accident from camphene

On Monday night, May %, three daughters of
Rev. Mr.. Perry, "A Methodist preacher, living at
FL Dorado near llarrodsbuIg, Ky, were so hor
ribly burned by the explosion of camphene lamp
that thu subsequently died, aud were buried in
one grave. Two of the daughters aged res
pectye 10 and Z, and the third girl of .
years The parents were absent from home at the
time. The Frankfort Co nmonweath gives the
following account of the calamity;
After supper ON Monday night, while the SER
want was washing the tea dishes, and the oldest
daughter wiping them, the second daughter I'M
dertook to replenish the camphene lamp by which
they were working and called the youngest daugh-
ter to hold it. She took the lamp in one handand
h' Id the top through which the wick passed in
the other. The wick was still burning as before
and the lower part yet in the lamp, but she held
the wick away some little distance from the
mouth. The other commenced TO pour camphenein-
tolt from can containing about half gallon. BY
some means it caught fire and exploded, covering
them and the whole room in an immediate blaze,
and saturating their clothes with the combustible
fluid.
The servant woman sprang out of the door, and
plunged into barrel of rain WATER by which her
life was saved, although she is badly burned
The door,it seems closed after her. the daughters
IN their confusion,coud not open it. They went
through the parlor and out at the hall door, and
ran about sixty yards to their farther's store
screaming and enveloped in flames that complete
~ covered their bodies, and extended at least
three feet above their heads. There; and near
there. some persons came to their assistance and
enveloped one in u blanket,another in a quilt,and
another, in a web of linen, and succeeded in extn-
gushing the flames But it was too late to save
their lives. From their hips upward they were
burnt horribly. The youngest died the next morn
ingat : the next in age at l, and the eldest at 6
O'Clock Tuesday evening Each retained her SEN
