DISTRESSING DEATH.-A bright and inter.
es'ing girl, about eight years OF age, died on
Monday last, in the village OF Newark, from
convulsions brought on by excessive exer-
tons in dumping the rope" She was COM
peting with several of her school compan-
ions in this "a ercise, who were endeavoring
TO out-do each other in endurance. She
jumped four hundred times in succession, and
until entirely overcome by the long continu-
ed exertions.
The child was taken home insensible, but
the movement Of the muscles Of the limbs, as
in jumping, continued without cessation for
sforty-eight hours, until the sufferer was re-
leased from the Painful exercise by death
This case, which is not the first one of the
kind which has come to public notice, should
serve a warning. not only to children bu
to parents and school teachers.

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF AN ExEcUTIoSER.
The New Orleans Picayune Of the Goth
ult gives the following account of an inhu-
man act perpetrated at franklin, La:
A negro had been sentenced to death. The
execution was to take place last week
After SINE researches. the sheriff al last
found man sufficiently miserable TO under
take, for a lew dollars, the duty ofexscution-
err. The negro was hanged, and the shcr-
iff, in order TO save the life Of him who had
saved him from the necessity of performing
the revolving duty, locked up the executions
er.
At nightfall, however, a furious mob Of
men, quite as miserable, at least, as he whor
they Wished to chastise, broke into the Jail
seized the executioner. and under the scourge
OF the lash forced him to run through the
streets of Franklin. The miserable crea.
ture was so beaten and Sd whipped, that al
length, his strength failing him, he fell down
seDseless.
The rage Of his assassins, however, did
not stop here. When they perceived the in
sensibility of their victim, one OF the bsnc
opened his knife and literally cut off the
ears of the sufferer. And not a protest
against the act was to be heard.

A FASHION HIT.-The Fashion editor OF
the New York Mirror. in concluding his ar

hit, which will answer for our latitude, as
well as that Of New York: ait would be a
noticeable and charming reform in our ladies
in consuming, were they to initiate the Par
isiennes and wear fewer iuT bellows fioun-
ces in the street. Also, if they would more
trinity stocking and gaiter their feet. Our
bellies should, furthermore, leave street
sweeping to the proper authorities. Skirts
trailed in tobaccojaice, ETC., are not tidy not
attractive. To remedy this, trifls might be
taken from the bottom Of fashionable street
dresses aud added to the top"

Fire.


A fire broke out night before last in the
store rooms occupied by Messrs. Scheeffer g.
Schroeder as tobacco shop and cigar man.
ufactory, consuming a large portion of the
stock, and destroying the entire inner por-
ton of the building, leaving but the hull re-
naming unconsumed. The FIRE companies,
with their usual energy, were promptly on
hand after the first alarm, and 10 their untir-
ing exertions may be attributed the saving
of the adjacent buildings. The loss of stock
is estimated at from three to FIVE thousand
dollars, insured for FIVE thousa nd in the Eagle
Insurance Company. Damage to the bull
ding from fifteen hundred 10 two thousand
dollars, fully insured in the Hartford Protec.
ton Company.
The origin of the fire is not known.
We hope to see this enterprising firm in
full force again in few days. In the short
space Of time they have been with US, by
their gentlemsnly manner of conducting bu-
siness, they have won themselves host o!
friends; and the temporary losses they may
sustain by this casualty, will be speedily re-
placed by greatly increased patronage.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.--Among other af.
fecting incidents of the FIRE at Jennings &
Co.'S establishment in Broadway, New York
the Tribune records the following:
One of the most affecting scenes occurred
in the drug store of Rushton g. Clark, where
several of the noble fellows were carried by
their comrades as they were removed from
their fiery prison-house. Among them was
James McNulty. He was taken out alive
and carried as gently as possible in his com.
rades' arms and laid down upon the floor, with
friend supporting his head. In moment
several ply sicians were kneelIng al round him
roadway, anxious to tender the utmost o.
their skill to save his fleetng life. They fell
his pulse, applied restoratives, but il was toe
late. He had not only felt the crushing
weight Of the walls, but he had breathed the
smoke and steam of the FIRE. His eyes were
fixed, bis pulse almost gone, the froth oozing
/ from his mouth, now carefully wiped away BY
! tender hands, for he was watched BY men
rough men, but men with big hearts, who
would have periled their lives to save his
1t was all in vain. The physicians said. al
is all over; poor fellow! he is dying" Then
oh! what scene fer poet or painter. Those
hardy men. unrelated, perhaps almost unac
quainted with the dying man, save tha
he was their brother fireman, pulled off thei
hats in token Of respect, and knelt by hi
side, taking his hands in theirs, while tn.
tears rolled down their bronzed cheeks, an,
with their silent prayers for its safe journey
his soul went up TO God"

Horrible Case OF cnnd Murder In Nor

r[E(owH, Ps.-Great Excitement.
On Saturday morning last, our usually quiz
ct borough was thrown into state OF great
excitement on account OF a most herrible
and unnatural murder committed in our very
mids'. The particulars OF the case rs Tar as
we could get them, are these. On Saturday
morning, Maria Daley, wife of Patrick Da-
lev, DESTROYED the life of her infant child,
about six weeks old, by cutting it's head from
it's body with sore sharp instrument. When
we saw it the head was lying about twelve
inches from the body. The head was sew
cred neai ly at the base of the cranlum, and
at the top Of the vertebR C 'lumn. 'Fhe sight
, was ghastly and revolving one, causing a
shudder upon Witnessing it. The deed D:
Supposed to have been committed with ra-
zor, as one was found which apparently haC
been washed off. A Ratchet also was found
: but no traces Of blood nor anything were
found upon it. The woman is supposed t
have been insane, and the husband says slit
had been threatening the life Of the child pre-
r viously.
Both husband and wife had been greatly
: dissipating for while pact with tree us
e of Intoxicating liquors. On Friday evening
/. Daley had made request oflJustice Petts 10
an order to send her to the Aims House. Tn
latter referred him to Samuel Miller, Esq
q director of the poor. On Saturday morning
= we believe, while Dir. Miller was making ar
i engagements to take her away, she got hold O
q the child in come way, it hiving Previousl
been in the hands Of strangers who had go,
II ten it from her, and Immediately committe
It the horrid deed. Another child had prev
., ousy been taken from her. Both were i'm

to take their trial at the next term OF Court

HoRRIBLE!-At Norristown, Pa, last week
a miserable mother cut off the head OF her
own child, an infant six weeks old. The
head wa. cut off close to the lower jaw. leav-

probably the nearest reason that could have
prompted 10 such deed, was disclosed in q
store pass-book found in the house. In the
space of twenty-six days, tucenty-nine quart
OF liquor was charged therein, and in abou
two and half months sirty- seven quarts were
charged. She was committed to the Mont

the liquor should be made party to the muir

SANTA ANNA ON THE PAcIFIc.-More

without effect on either side. Santa A ma
with an army variously estimated at frou
three to FIVE thousand men, was encsmpe.
in the neighborhood, and it was expected tina
he would make an attack on the town durin;
