The ELEcroRAI VoTE or WISCONSIN Losr.-
The Buffalo Express, Of the oath ult, states that
the electoral vote of Wisconsin has been lost and
can not be cast for Fremont. The United States
law provides that the electors of the several States
shall meet in their State capitals on the first We'd
nesday in December, and then vote for President
and Vice President. Thesstatute is imperative in
regard to the day. The Wisconsin electors started
rom their homes in time, according to the usual
travelling conveniences, to be in Madison on Decem-
Der Sd, but violent snow storm set in and detained
them on the road until the day had passed. When
they did arrive, they could do nothing, and return
ed home as private citizens. The disfranchisement
OF whole State by a legal technically, in so inn
portant a matter as the election of President and
Vice President is to be greatly regretted, and mea
sures shoui be taken to amend the law, 10 prevent
such occurrences in the future. The Wisconsin
electors were for Fremont and this loss reduces his
vote TO one hundred and nine. The United States
law further provides that if the vote of State is
not in Washington by the first week in January a
special messenger will be sent for it, In this case
it will be of no use, although the form will have to
be gone through with

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A CHLD.-The Richmond
Dispatch, of yesterday publishes the following
count of interesting little girls death by burns
ing
On the 9th of this month, little girl named
Rosa Ann in the 10th year Of her age, daughter
of Mr.. Thomas Howard, of Powhatan county, met
with an accident which cost her her life. In COM
pany with a number OF black children, Rosa was
standing near a large boiler in the yard when sud-
denly her clothes took fire, and instantly she was
enveloped in flames Alarmed at her perous con-
dtion, the little creature rushed into a quar- er
near at hand, but finding no one ghere 20 and her
started for another quarter about twenty yards disc
tant the flames then encirclng over her head.
just 1t this instant, her father (whO, ba. moment
before had reached home and was enquiring as to
the feelings of his sick wife, heard shreks and the
word fref and looking out the window beheld his
child wrapped in flames and runHiug for aid.
He Immediately fastened to the rescue and seiz-
ing her in his arms plunged her in pool Of dirty
water, and rolled her in it, thus extnguishing the
fire; but when he took her out her clothes had
been burned from her person, and the parched skin
was peelng from her body and limbs. Poor little
creature, her suferings were extremely agOnizing,
till physician arrived, and she was placed under
the influence Of anodynes, when che became more
tranquil for a time but the inhalation of the fame
had done its work. and on the evening Of the 9th,
death camc to her relief Mr. Howard had one OF
his hands dreadfuly burned, but his suferings
from that bear no comparison to the agOnies Of
mind produced by Witnessing the countenance OF
his child and hearing her shreks and groans whilst
wrapped in flames. To use his own language, the
picture Of his child as she appeared in that dread
fui moment, is ndelbly impressed upon bis mind
| and heart never TO be erased"
Another case similar to the above, is published
in the same paper as follows:
On Saturday morning last Dr. j. W. Royster Of
Henrico county lost his little daughter, Virgins
| D. aged three years. in a most heart rending man'
ner At an early hear in the morning the child re
paired to the kitchen to play, and being very
sprighty was amusing herself about the fire, wher
the cook woman left for the spring. In short time
thereafter, screams we're heard and on going &c
the kitchen twas found that little Virginia's cloth
es were 10 blaze Of FIRE. hr John Jones whs
was engaged at DR.. Rs in building fastened u
the relief Of the child and speedily as possible
with the aid Of DR.. Register, tore her burning cloth
es from her, bus not until she was badly burned
DR.. Garrett then sent for, and did all that me
deal skill could do relieve her sutferings, bat he
injuries were so great that they caused her dealt
that night.

cows which had been fed on that description OF
food.
Several gentlemen have likewise recently &C.
