FIRE AND ACCIDENT This morning
about 81 O'Clock, the alarm Of fire was
sounded through our streets. and in .
few minutes our Engine Companies were
seen going in direction Of Wide Water
Street. We wishing to be 05ott ,follow wed
the crowd and found the Cause Of the
alarm to originate from bed on fire III
the house of Mrs. James Cochran; it APP
psars that Mrs. Cochran had come down
stairs from her chamber, and LEFT three
small children in the he'd; after . short
time she heard them screaming very
loudly, and On going up stairs saw the
bed i'll flames. Two of the children leaped
from the bed, but. the other was too
young to do SO, and the poor little thing
was burnt very severely on its head, face
and arms. Mrs. Cochran informs us that
she cannot account for the fire except in
one way: there was a stand near the bed
upon which there were quantity Of loose
matches which she supposes the children
got hold Of, and in that way set fire to
the bed.

THE CAUSE OF THE SUIciDEs.-The New
Orleans Bulletin, referring to the suicides of
Senator Rusk, Arson Jones, and many others
who have destroyed themselves, comes to the
conclusion that if the real facts could be
kpown, il would be found that in vas. ma
jority of instances the cause is TO be found in
soups !" aud adds:
"Thc extensive authorizations Of liquors
which have taken place OF late years act lpon
the brain and destroy its proper functions.-
Physicians and others know well that the
brain is liable To disease, almost rs much so
perhaps ~ any other organ, and when il is so
the individual is--crazy and does not know
what he is doing. The brain of the drunk
ard, il is well known, will take fire, emitting
n blush light, and causing smell like burn
ing alcohol.
We are strongly inclined 10 think that
most saicides by6nales are reGerable to this
as the primary cause"

"a young minister, who had made himself

FACTORIES IN MIsslssPPI-Somo little
progress in manufacturing enterprise has
been made in Mississippi. The Mississippi
Manufacturing Company have factory in
Choctaw county, about forty-fve miles from
Grenada. Its capital is $4,000. twas es-
tablshed in lS4S. Its clear profits for the
last four years have not been less than thirty
per cent. per annum on the capital invested
Its chief operations are in making cotton
osnaburgs, and linseys. The constructing
of the Central Railroad, connecting New
Orleans with the railroad system of Ten
nessee, il is believed, will develope large
manufacturing enterprise in that neghbor-

A TERRIBLE AFFAIR IN CHRISTIAN County, Ky.
The Evansville Journal relates the particu
lars Of a murder perpetrated few weeks
since in Christian county, KY. They are as
follows:
man named Casey has been arrested for
the murder of neighbor named Henderson.
1t appears that Casey had married a woman
with whom, it is said, Henderson had been
previously intimate This intimacy was kept
up after the marriage lie had forbidden
Henderson's coming to his house, and when
his visits were repeated threatened to shoot
him if he caught him on his premises again.
Two weeks ago Henderson left home, and not
returning according to appointment, search
was instituted through the country, in which
Casey joined for several days. After the
search was over Casey fled. After his de-
parture Casey's wife disclosed the murder
Casey had shot Henderson, took the BODY
and buried it in the stable, covered it with
manure and put horse in the stall, whose
use of it soon obliterated all traces. The
wife, however disclosed the fact of the muir
der, and pointed out the place where the
body had been buried. 1t was found with a
bullet-hole through the skull.
