Fatalities in Vermont Mr.. Nathaniel

We learn from the Sentinel that the house
of Mr.. Canary, at Rouse's Point, with his
two children, was consumed by fire, on the
2Sth ut, and Mr.. c. was so badly burned
that he is not expected to survive. 1t seems
that Mr. Canary kept a small grocery in his
dwelling IN which he had barrel of liquor.
In attempting to draw a quantity, the liauor
caught fire from the candle, aud exploded.

The Groieih IF the horihcesi. The tide
OF emigration during the past year has set
strongly toward the Northwestern States ;
indeed It has exceeded all past years The
Cleveland Pialndedier says that by the LIST
of January next the single State of Iowa
will contain over q half a million OF persons.
The census of the State IN 1850 was bu,
one hundred and nnety-lhrse thousand. In
June, 1854, according to the State Census
the population had increased to three hun
dred and twenty-slx thousand. With such
precedent, II Is not Improbable that at the
next National Census the returns will foo
up nearly one million of inhabitants.
The State Of Wisconsin, which is some
what older than Iowa, nearly keeps pace
with her neighbor. In 1850 the population
was three hundred and five thousand. TIL
; State Census which is now being taken will
according to the Milwaukee Sentinei, sho,
more than six hundred thousand. If IN
Z ratio continues TIL $50, more than a millio
{ inhabitants will be found in that State.
q parallel instance of such increase of popu
+ lation can hardly be found in the world
y history.
