SHOCKING AccIDESr-FIvE CHILDREN BURNED
TO DgArH.-About 6 O'Clock, on Friday eve the
Goth ult the house of Mr.. Mcfarland, on the
Cayuga road, about eight miles below Jarvis,
was destroyed by fire, and with it his whole fam
lily were burned to death. The eldest was about
nine years of age, the two youngest were twins
of two years. Our informant states that he and
another were the first at the burning building
They made every effort TO reach the sleeping
apartment of the little sufferers, but in vain
there being but one door opening into the burn
ing house tthe roof of which had already fallen
I'M and two half sash windows. When they first
arrived they thought tina, they heard noise,
and broke in these windows, but were met with
stream of fire, and in less than ten minutes af-
terwards, the whole building was level with the
ground. just at this time the parents who had
been on visit to q sick neighbor, arrived at the
remains of what was, TWO hours before, their
peaceful ana happy home, and it net until
two hours afterwards that a few eharred and
blaeSened masses met their horrible gaze, as all
that remained of their five healthy and innocent
little ones
The IRE is supposed to have originated from

house Long Point &C, W. Advocate.

What Governor Shannon is 10 do in
Kansas.


The St. Louis Evening Pilot, referring to the
passage of Gov. Shannon through that city,
says:
Gov. Shannon is Mastering on to Lecompton,
where he will take up his residence, and exert
all his influence to quiet the disturbances in
Kansas. The Governor goes out well fortified
with instructions, and we learn will be followed
in few days by something more substantial, in
the shape ofover two thousand new muskets OF
the newest and most improved fashion, fresh
from the factory at Harper's Ferry. These are
the MIME inusket, and are said TO be more eff
cient and produce more moral susson than the
Sharpes rifles, on which the heroes of Lawrence
rely to carry out their treason. These muskets
are designed for the militia of the Territory the
bona fidc settlers and Gov Shannon is instructed,
We unders and, to rely upon these to sustain his
government and uphold his authority. The aid
of the United States troops will not he called in,
except in the last resort There viii doubtless,
be a tremendous rush of emigrants into the Terri
tory, both from the North and the South, as soon
as navigation is open, and there may arise some
collisions and partial outbreaks in the Territory
but we do not look for any general disturbance
and if Gov. Shannon be man of energy and de-
cision, backed as he is by the Executive and The
moral sense of the community, he will not find
it difficult to maintain law and order in Kansas.
