A PAINFUL SCENE-BURNING OF A MOTHER
AND HER CHILD.--A sad affair occurred in
the town of Aleppo, near Steubenville, Ohio,
not long since. Mr.. Peter Lyons. who resid.
ed in somewhat secluded locality, went ont
on his daily business in the morning, leaving
his wife and young child at home. On re-
turning, several hours after, when he came in
sight OF his place he saw column of light
smoke wreathing up into the sunlight from
the grove where his home was situated. and
hurrying forward, perceived nothing but
pile of smoking raftets where his house had
been. In the road, near the ruins, Law his
wife, writhing in agony, with her clothes in
cinders and her flesh burned to crisp in
many places. His child was not to be seen !:
but afterwards, in raking over the ashes Of
the destroyed habitation, few white bones
were discovered--all that was left of the little
creature. Mrs. Lyons was removed TO a
neighbours house, where, at last accounts.
she was still lingering in great distress, and
not expected to survive. From what eould
be gathered from the unfortunate woman. il
appears that the fire originated in the MINER
part of the building, and that, ON discovering
it, she threw her child on bed and hastily
ran out for some water. The progress Of The
flames was almost unparalleled in rapidity
and ON her return, seeing all hope of extin.
gushing the FIRE at an end, she also found. to
her horror, that she could not reach to the
room where she had left the chlld. She made
several desperate attempts, but the flames at
last caught her dress, and the instinct of self
preservation then caused her to escape from
the dwelling, and to rush along the road, call.
ing for her help, till the torture OF her blazing
garments overpowered her, and she fell where
her husband found her.

ARREST OF Horse THIBF.-A GANG OF
ROBBERS PROBABLY DETEcTED.-On Tuesday,
two men came to this village with valuable
sorrel horse and Concord wagon, and falling
in with Mr.. John A. Corey at the stable of
the Mechanics HOTEL traded horses with
him. A few hours after, Mr.. Corey's atten-
ton was directed to an advertisement in
Boston paper, offering reward for the stolen
horse and wagon, the description answering
that fehe horse for which he had Just traded,
and also the wagon containing the two men.
Mr.. Corey thereupon took Deputy Sheriff j.
p. Childs with him and vent in pursuit
The men were Traced through Franklin and
Midway to Med6eld. Mr.. Childs now ascer-
tanned that the name of one Of the men was
Augustus Pllmpton, and was directed to his
house, arriving there on Tuesday evening.
Being in Massachusetts, and consequently
without authority, Mr.. Childs obtained the
assistance of legal officers at Medfeld, but
on reaching the premises, the latter de-
clined to proceed, whereupon Mr.. Childs
knocked at the door. After a some time
a voice responded from the second story, and
Mr.. Childs replied that he wished to see Mr..
Plimpton. The man came to the door when
Mr.. C. told him he wanted the man who
traded horses at WoOnsocket, and also the
horse. Pllmpton said the horse was in the
stable, but that his companion was not about
the premises. The party then proceeded 10
the stable. and identified and took possession
of the horse. They went back to the house
and searched it, Notwithstanding PIimpton
said no person was in it. But he was mis-.
taken, for the horse trader and stealer was
found hid behind the chimney in the garnet.
and taken into custody. Mr. Childs then
asked for the wagon and harness, and was
directed to barn where the same was care
fully buried up in the hay now The thief,
horse, wagon and harness were then brought
to this village, and telegraphic despatch sent
to the owner, Mr.. Samuel Butterfeld of West
Cambridge. That gentleman arrived here on
Wednesday, with proper officers, paid the
reward to Deputy Sheriff Childs, and re-
turned with his property and the thief to
Massachusetts. The thief gives his name as
Peter Burns, but is known by several aliases.
He confesses belonging to a gang of thieves
and robbers, and also to having performed
sundry 6 garrotings " in Boston and vicinity.
He evidently wishes to turn States evidence.
The man Plimpton, at whose house Burns
was taken. is implicated, and officers started
to arrest him yesterday. He is young man,
possessed of considerable property, and lives
alone in the house we have before described.

rHR RpAsoN WnY.-Ex-Distriet AttOrne

The REASON WHY-Ex-Distriet Attorney
Halett made the exclamation, at Washington,
on hearing of the non-success of himself and
Peaslee to get re-appointed, while Watson Free
mans commission as United States Marshal was
renewed" Freeman caught a niger" While
Hallet's blunder in being the means of the in
dictments in the Burns riot cases being quash-
ed, could not thus be forgiven, and was the cause
of his losing his head, the reason of the decapi
sation of Peaslee is now brought to the light, as
arising from collateral cause. 1t appears from
the following document that the ex-Collector had
the audacity to run tilt in Advance against the
Dsed Scott decision. 1t will be 1eeolleeted that
General Peaslee was removed Immediately after
that pronunciamento was promulgated. Official
ly acknowledging, over his own sign manual, that
negro is a citizen Of the United States, was
truly an offence impossible to be forgiven in an
officer under the present national administration:
81, Charles H. Peaslee, Collector of the Dis
trict of Boston and Charlestown, do hereby certi.
fly that James Jacobs, an American seaman, aged
twenty-six years, or thereabouts of the height of
five feet, six and half inches. black complexion,
woody hair, black eyes, born in Georgetown, in
the State of Delaware, has this day produced to
me proof in the manner directed BY The act, en-
titled An act for the relief and protection of
American seamen,' and pursuant to the said act
l do hereby certify that the said ]. Jacobs is a
