The First of Five Points Agreed Upon.

The steamship Baltic arrived at New
York on Friday, bringing later news from
Europe. At the seat of war Lord Rag
Ian had sent messenger to Sebastopol,
to announce the death of the Emperor
Nicholas, and at Uupatora, Omar Pacha
had also sent messenger to announce the
same event to Prince Radzivil, the Rus
sian commander in that quarter. A
continual fire was kept up at Sebastopol,
between the French and Russians, but the
French have not renewed their attack on
the Russian works near the Malakoff tow
er which are, therefore, nearly completed
The Russians have greatly strengthened
their works opposite the main points Of
the allied attack, and some of their works
in progress are in such position that it
| is thought the allied Generals are obliged
! to order an attack At q council Of
war, held by the allied commanders on
the fourth, it was resolved to commence
active operations. The health Of the troops
vas satisfactory, Reinforeements have
reached the Russians. Advices from O.
dossa bring report that Prince Menchi-
koH has died Of typhus fever. a French
hospital has been destroyed by fire, but
no lifes were lost in it. Lord Raglan will
not return unless recalled Forty thou
sand French troops are to be cncamped
at Constantinople. Poland is filled with
troops, every village having its garrison.
In Prussia, motion for an address to the
King, censuring the ministerial policy Oh
the Eastern question, has been rejected.
At the Vienna Conferences the first Of the
four points has been adopted by all the
negotiators. It provides for joint pro-
tectorate of all the four great powers over
the Principalities, instead of the previous
single protectorate of Russia. According
to the London Morning Advertiser, Lord
Dundonald's plan for destroying Cron-
stadt has been accepted by the British
government, and will be put to the test in
June or July. The Turkish government
is said to be opposed to the concessions Of
the first point of the negotiations, and has
endeavored to get Prussia into the nego-
tiations. The Cotton market was active.
Breadstuas were without change.

with great violence a few miles up the'river
Trees and fences were in some instances
blown down, and at the town of Progress
at the mouth of the Rancocas Creek, a.
bout ten miles above Camden, a large and
extensive glass mandatory, belonging tc
Mr.. Julius Kelter, frenchman, was tori
down, and upwards of twenty persons
buried beneath the ruins. The alarm
was Immediately given, and all the resi-.
dents of that place, numbering from two
to three hundred persons, proceeded al
once to rescue the dead and wounded
from the ruins Up to two o'clock, we
learn, it had been ascertained that eight
persons were instantly killed, and severaI
others were seriously if not fatally injured
The building was located at the corner
of Taylor and Kossuth streets, and was
constructed of brick, with 18-inch walls
in the most substantial manner. 1t occu.

high and 42 feet wide; being covered with

goods, and all the tools used by the work.

This manuiactory has been in operation
about eight weeks, and has thus far turned
out nothing but hollow glass ware. On,
Iy single furnace was in operation, al.
though extensive arrangements had beer
made for working several other furnaces
BY this accident about twenty-five persons
will be thrown ont Of employment. We
regret to learn that Mr. Samuel Betcbtold
of this city, is a loser to the amount oI
S2,5Oo. The building, we arc informed
is total wreck, having been crushed tc
the ground BY the force of the wind.
A gentleman, who was in the vicinity
at the time the accident occurred, states
that the front doors of the building were
open, which no doubt caused the accident
as the wind was enabled to sweep through
the building with the greatest violence.
We were unable to learn the names oil
the persons killed, or those wounded, in
consequence of the non-arrival of the train
due here at 81 o'clock, last evening. 1t

Death from HydroDhobia.
From tie Dayton (Ohto) Case

About thirty years ago, Mr.. A. Rogers
Of Franklin. Ohio, was bitten by mao
dog, and was placed in utter darkness, un.
der medical treatment, for the space o.
thirty days, and apparently recovered
from the effects Of the bite; though at ir.
regular intervals since that time he has
felt peculiar and unpleasant sensations
supposed to be caused BY the virus, which
in an almost Insignificant degree still re.
NAMED in his system. Otherwise he en-.
jOyed remarkably good health, and being
a man Of powerful physical frame, weigh
/ ing near 200 pounds, it is probable the
strength Of his constitution kept the effects
Of the virus in his system subdued. 1t
was on the 18th day of last January, that
he received the last bite, under TIE follow
ing circumstances.
\ small, half starved dog had been a.
bout the house during the day, and Mr..
r. told one fthe children to call it in and
feed it, which was done. Mr.. r. stopped
down to carcss it, when it bit him Oh the
hand. He instantly grasped his hand and
remarked to bis wife that lie never felt
such a pain in bis life. 1t seemed to
thrill bis system like an electric shock
Nothing further, however occurred al
that time, except very severe headache,
and slight nervous fever. The same
dog was known to have bitten several hogs,
but not until the hogs became rabid, which
was several weeks after, was the dog sup
posed to have been mad When Mr..
Rogers became acquainted with these facts.
he at once felt that in his peculiar situa-
ton, with the virus Of former bite in his
system, his case was hopeless one, and
lm mediately set about closing up his bus
iness, and made his will, communicating
his aPprehensions to DO person, not even
of bis family. He enjoyed usual health
up to Wednesday before his death, when
the symptoms of hydrophobia began to
manifest themselves, causing him hoWev-
er, no serious Inconvenience antiI Friday
morning, March 23, when, as he attempt
cd to wash his hands and face, he found
himself unable to get his hands into the
water.
He ate but little breakfast, aud in a
short time went to bed About twelve
o'clock on Friday night he was seized
with most fearful spasm, which lasted
for some time. After the spasm passed
off he became quite calm and convcrsed
almost incessantly,--and assured his
friends that he would not harm them in |
any way. lis next spasm was on Satur-
day morning, and more violent than the
former. The last spasm seemed to rack
the sufferer with excrutiatiug agony, and
was dreadful in the extreme, even to wit
ness. During all his suFerings, to the
moment of his death he seemed conscious
of his condition, perfectly rational 10
all respects, and seemed totake partic-
ular care to harm 40 one during his ra-
wing fits, although be was in no way Sc
cured and in the same room with his
friends and attendants.
1t is certainly contrary to the usual ex-
perience that the virus should remain so
long in the system, and give no more de-
clded manifestations of its presence. But
the case, though remarkable one is by
no means an isolated ones

The Way Congressman do Things

At the Rome, New York, Post Office
there is said to be twenty one bags of doe
uments, books, &C., sent by mail for thc
hon. Caleb Lyons, member of the Late
House OF Representatives from that dis
trlct of New York State which is com
posed of Lewis and Jefferson countless
These documents franked by the member
himself to his address, as no one else
would take the trouble to do so. Each
bag with its contents weighs about one
hundred and fifty pounds, making total
weight of one and half tons. All this
mass is transported free of cost a long
distance by railroad and other conveyance,
though the government is obliged to pay
very heavily to the Railroad and other
Companies for carrying it. Here are
nearly two carloads of stuff sent, by a
member of Congress, through the mail to
his own address at the cost of the public
If the gentleman had sent all his ward
robe and other personal effects home in
the same way, it would not have weighed
one fourth as much, nor been so serious
an expense to the public treasury. In
the same style, member of Congress
may as well frank his shirts home to be
washed, or his boots or coat to be mend
ed, as indeed it was said some years aro
some western member was detected in do
