Among the funny things of the day is
a card from Hon. l.. D. CAMPBELL, with
which be has gratified the morbid appe-
tite of the public for such things, by in
forming them hat he has two issues to
settle with Mr.. Vallandigham, 'the first
Of a public, the second of a pri0ate ma

I will attend first to the point in
which the public are interested, and then
Il beg leave to assure my friends and
Mr.. w L will endeavor to settle up all
matters Of a personal or Private charac-
ter.
We can imagine the great concern
Mr.. "" must feel while subjected to
such an impending catastrophe.
The issues are thus stated by Mr..

The hamilton Catastrcphe-Ver-
DICT Of the Jurv.

The Hamilton Banner, of Wednesday
morning, contains the verdict of the
Coroner's Jury in the recent disaster
case.
The Jurors fad hat the Immediate
cause Of the accident was owing to the
breaking of the forward axle Of the Ea-
CINE Truck close to the wheel on the
right at a point on the road not ascer-
tanned, aud in consequence of which the
left forward wheel Of the Truck left the
rail at or near the swi' ca near the said
Desjardins Canal bridge, causing the
locomotive when entering on the bridge
to diverge to the right, crushing and
tearing away its support-prccipitsting
the whole train in the Canal, and result,
ing in the calamity which forms tie sub
jsot of this melancholy inquiry.
They likewise find that before leaving
the Toronto Station with the train On
this last trip, the engine was examined
by the proper officer and reported by
him to be in perfect order.
The Jurors also find that the said
bridge over the D~esjardins Canal Yves
built of wood, and constructed of sufi
cient strength for the conveyance Of the
traffic of the line safely and securely
over the said bridge; provided that the
locomotive and cars remained on the
railway track, but that the said bridge
was not built CT sufficient strength to
sustain an engine aud train in case they
should run of the track while passing
over the said bridge.
The Jurors recommend the renewal
of the former Law compelling all trains
to come to a dead stop before passing
over this and all similar bridges, believ-
ing as they do, hat this lamentable &C.
cident might have been avoided, had
this precautionary measure remained in
orce.

The re- action has commenced in New
England. Connecticut has partially re-

alteration as bred Scott and his sable

a Dwelling House Burned
Three Children Perished in the
Flames.

From the Oswego Times, Monday.]
At about five o'clock on Sunday morn
ing, our citizens were aroused from their
slumbers by the alarm bell of the City
Hall Changing out the intelligence of
"fre." The scene of the calamity was at
Antoine Plante, situated on the Plank
Road leading west, and just at the ex-
treme western portion of the city limits.
The house was nearly burnt DOWN when
the alarm was soandcd and the engines
having such a distance to travel were
unable to do anything. Most Of our citi-
zens on finding that the house was des-
troyed, and that no othet building was
in danger, re.urncd to their homes, little
dreaming that human lives had been
lost in the burning house. But such
was the startling fact, which they soon
learned.
The family consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
P, five children, and the mother of Mr..
Plante, an aged lady, Mr.. aud Mrs.
Piante, and one of the children, an in
fant, slept below on the ground floor
while the children and their grand
mother occupied the chambers above.
At above half past three o'clock on Sun
day morning, Stephen, the eldest of the
children, aged about seventeen, was
awakened by a dense and sufFocating
smoke in the room. lie says he got up
and awakened the others in the cham
Der, and then got down stairs barely
escaping with his life. He is now sick
in consequence of inhaling such large
quantities of smoke. Mr.. Plantc was
awakened and Immediately rushed up
tn stairs in the darkness and smoke
He heard the voice of his mother crying
"uelp me down; for Gods sake show me
down" Mr.. z. got hold of the old lady.
but blinded and sutiocated by the dense
smoke, they both fell down the stairs
and rolled to the bottom. Fortunately
neither of them were seriously injured
and the old lady was saved. Mr.. Plante
made another attempt TO get up the
stairs, but found it impossible, on &C.
count of the flames cutting of access to
the room. The whole building, with all
its contents was then burned down, three
children perishing in the flames, whose
bodies were afterwards recovered from
the ruins burned to oinder
Those who escaped had nothing or
Su6 their hiSHV ciotaes- DuG were hlhuiy
provided with garments by the neigh.
bors. The cries and shrieks OF Mr. and
Mrs. Plante, as they saw tie fumes en-
wrapping the building which contained
three of their little ones, are described
as heartrending, but 10 human power
could give relief. The children who
persisted in the fire were, Eliza, aged
about Is years; Joseph, 10 years; and
Benjamin, aged about 4 years.
AS to the origin of the FIRE nothing i:
known beyond conjecture.
