near by, when the liquid took fire and exploded
with great violence, setting her clothes in blaze
She rushed up stairs and fell down in the hall,
when her sister, Mrs. Elkns, came after her with
small child in her arms. The sight was SO
shocking TO Mrs. Elkins that she fell to the floor
in swoon. Several persons now rushed in from
the street, and tearing the carpet from the par
Tor, rolled the burning woman in it. In few
minutes the FIRE was put out, but not until the
clothes of the lady were nearly all burned off.
The sufferer bore her agony with great fortitude
until the next morning, when she died.

five cents additional for hauling il to the

Of it was left over from the previous years

AN ASTRONOMICAL FAcT-A bright star,
named Sirius, or the Dog star, passes over us
in the season called dog. days; and some peo.
pie have foolishly supposed that its presence
may cause madness, or hydrophobia, in dogs.
1t is calculated to be 100000 900, 900 miles
distant from the earth or $4,000 times az
distant as the sun is. A ray of light from
Sirius, travelling as fast as cannon ball at its
greatest speed, would not be seen on the earth
for 523,2ll years. But this is the nearest
liked star among all the multitude over US.

New MORMON ALPHABET.-T Mormons
have invented new alphabet, consisting of
forty. one characters, in which their books
will hereafter be printed, They have had
made at st Louis punches and matrices for
the manufacture of the type, and specimen
of the alphabet is printed in the Missouri
Democrat. 1t is a coDglomerate of Hebrew,
Chinese, and photographic characters, and it
is neither simple nor handsome. The objects
are, no doubt, to separate the saints as widely
as possible from the rest of the world, and to
conceal their peculiar doctrines and practices
from public criticism. The bad English that
will be printed in these uncouth characters
will be study for philologisis, some centu-

BANKS DIsoRED1TED.-Th New York pa.
pers state that the bills of the Rhode Island
Central Bank, the Tiverton Bank, and the
Farmers Bank are thrown out. These banks
redeemed with John Thompson, and his sus-
pension has left their circulation temporarily
without credit in New York but we do not
suppose that they lose anything by him of suf-
fcient amount to affect their ability. These
banks have not redeemed at the Suffolk.
They belong to class of banks which we have
steadily opposed, because they are made up of
foreign capital, and are managed for the in
terests of foreign business but we do not
think that there is anything in the discredit
of their bills in New York that should neces-
sarily destroy confdencein Providence

GARDNER TAcTICs.-The peculiar tactics which
actuate the adherents of Henry ]. Gardner, in
their efforts to force his nomination down the
threats of the people, for another year, against
their wishes, were well illustrated in the manage
ment of the caucus of Tuesday night, at Horti-
cultural Hall. What was the astonishment of
the chairman and secretary of the city commit
tee, who called the meeting, when they entered
the hall just before the clock struck eght-the
hour at which the meeting was called-to find 1t
already organized, and the business commenced
in the work of appointing the committee to nom
mate list Of delegates to Boston. The question
may well be asked, on what principle of right
such tactics were resorted to by the particular
hangers-on to the skirts of Henry J. Gardner, in
this city (some half dozen in number, to ad-
vance their purposes Fearing that the chair.
man and secretary of the American city commit
tee, who have all along been for Mr.. Banks,
might not be induced to turn around and eat
their own words and acts, at the bidding of the
Gardner faction, a venerable gentleman, well
known fol the ardor Of his zeal for Fillmore, last
Fall, and for Gov. Gardner now, assumed the re.
sponsibility Of taking the business of calling the
meeting to order out Of the hands of the gentle
man who called it, few minutes before the arri-
val of the latter, and Gardner man was chosen
preside for the evening.
1t is needless to add, that nothing could have
happened more calculated to injure the cause of
the Gardneri,es, than the course pursued by them
on this occasion. The effect of it has been to
induce all those hereabouts, who were before un.
decided as to their preference for Banks or Gard
ner, to declare for the ron man" Gardner's
trength in this city, this year, will be hardly
greater than that of Fillmore last Fall, if it
is so large-and that was next to nothing.
