Terrible Death.

Miss Barnard, . beautiful girl of 20, and
an only daughter, was burned to death in
Boston few days since. He skirts took
fire from CRATE, and her screams brought
her grandmother-the only person near
into the room. She found her standing in
the middle of the room with her clothing
on fire. Selling rug. she attempted to
smother the flames, but Miss B., being so
much excited, rushed from the room down
stairs to the kitchen below. Her rapid
flight caused the flames TO gain great head
way, Miss B. all the while inhaiiing the
fire and she fell upon the kitchen floor,
where death soon relieved her from the
agony ofpain.
Miss Barnard was horribly burned about
the face, head, arms and other portions of
her body. 1t is not known exactly how
her clothing took fire, but it is supposed
that she stood in front of the fire arrang-
ing her hair, when her wooden dress first
ignited, which quickly communicated to
other portions of her dress and before the
young lady was aware of it she was in
flames.
At the time of the occurrence of the sad
affair, Miss B. was awaiting the arrival of
a gentleman who was to escort her to the
fair at the Music Hall, where she intended
to meet her mother and large number of
acquaintance.

The Akron Beacon says that an indict.
ment was found by the Grand Jury against
twenty-seven females of Cuyahoga Falls
who lately made the attack upon the whis
ky shops of that village. The editor vel
saws:
When the saloon-keepers talk of Mt
law in reference TO the conduct of the wo
men, and insists on its enforcement, one
might remind them of their own liability.
As Portia says to Shylock.
"For as thou urgest justice, be assured,
Thou shalt have Justice more than desired"
And it seems the liquor sellers are about
to get sjustice more than thou desir'st fcr
twenty-four indictments were also found
against them.
The Beacon also says that the Prosecu-
ting Attorney entered nolle upon the in
dictment found against the women, al
though their counsel, Mr.. Edgerton, insist
ed strenously upon trial for his clients.
Some important arson cases are on the
docket which are to be tried. Judge Boil

IMPORTANT RuMoR.-The Star, paper,
published at Los Angeles, Californin, says
that Col. Thos. L. Kane, of Philadelphia,
lately passed through San Bernardino, on
his way from Washington to Salt Lake
CITY. When at San Bernardino he offer
ed $500 to be carried to Salt Lake City
in two weeks. Some persons supposing
Col. K. to be Mormon bearing intorrna-
ton from Mr.. Bernhisel, at Washington, TO
Brigham Young, arrested him and search
ed his papers, but became satisfied that he
was an Agent of the Administration. II
is therefore supposed that Col. K. has been
sent by Mr.. Buchanan on a secret mission
to Brigham Young. Col. Kane-brother
of the Arctic Navigator-was Col. OF one
of the Mormon regiments raised in the
Mexican war, hence probably his selection
for this mission.

He would, in all probability, have brutally
murdered her, had she not by her screams,

recovery, but it was feared she would bear

who are to be those representatives are to
be decided By the House alone. He read
list of States representatives, by fractions,
Mas acbusetts, Rhode Island and others,
and demanded that Minnesota, having a
larger fraction than many Of them, should
have representation. Therefore, BY the
strict letter of the law, she was entitled to
| two.
Mr.. Pugh, Of Ohio, incidentally referred
to Mr.. Mason's remarks, and demonstrated
that Minnesota. is now State and not q
Territory, and hence has the right to elect
officers to represent her in Congress.
MIR. Doolittle's amendment of Mr.. Fitch's
amendment was put and lost-ayes, 20;
nays, S3.
MIR. Fitch's original amendment was then
put and lost+ayes, IA; nays, s6.
Mr.. Fitch therefore moved another
amendment which was subjected to yari-
Gus verbal alterations from different Sem
ators, and finally assumed the shape that
Minnesota shall have two representatives
until new census shall show that she is
entitled to third, and lost-ayes, 10;
nays, 27.
Mr.. Iverson moved that she be entitled
to two until the next apportionment of rep
representatives among the various States.
Lost-ayes, %; nays, 26.
The question recurred upon Mr. Douglas
motion of Monday last to strike out the
whole section. The ayes and nays being
asked thereon, Mr.. D. withdrew it.
Mr.. Benjamin, of La, moved to recon-
sider the vote last taken, which motion be-
ing carried by majority, the question re-
Cured on Mr.. Iverson's amendment, which
was adopted-ayes, %; nays, 21.
Mr.. Youlee, of Fla, said he had some
amendments to offer, and moved to post
pone the subject until tomorrow.
Several Senators seemed desirous to take
vote to-day, but the Senate finally went
into Executive session, and afterwards ad-
journed.

to vote for the Crittenden amendment
The Douglas Democrats, Republicans and
South Americans have united on this for
different reasons, but without preconcerted
action, which showed the honesty of their
convictions. He appealed TO the young
men of the country, without distinction Of
party, to sustain the Douglas men, who
have kept their faith and remained firm
while Others trembled in the presence of
power.
Mr.. Parott, claiming to be the represen-
tatiye of the entire people of Kansas, said
that without the enjoyment of the right to
which they were entitled, they had no
means of redress, for their wrongs. They
were the victims of merciless warefare
and persecution. After despotism had
been imposed by foreign invasion and main
tanned by the persistent arm of the Gov
ernment, the civil strife eliminated in the
Lecompton Constitution, which was desig-
mated to prolong and make permanent the
vassalage of the people. The Lecompton
Convention was frauGulently constituted,
and the pretended submission of the Con-
stitution was cheat,

Mexican Filiibuster Movement.


We are informed that an agent of Gen.
Vidaurri has arrived in this city from
Monterey, with authority to procure loar
guaranteed by a mortgage of all the Gus
tom House duties of the northern frontier
of Mexico. The money thus borrowed is
to be employed in sending him arms and
munitions OF war, and in organizeing an
expedition Of volunteers to take arms un-
der him, and aid his schemes in the interi
or of the Republic.
We have caused inquiries to be made Of
the Mexican Counsel in this city to find
out the truth with regard to this alleged
agent. The Counsel denies the authentic.
ity of the report, because the Government
Of Mexico, which is alone authorized, to
make any such arrangement, has not given
power TO any person to act in such matters.
Consequently, any such contract or ar
rangement for loan will be inherently
null and void. 1t is also the opinion of
the Consul that any armed expedition
which should arrive at q Mexican port, even
under The pretext of assisting the Liberal
or Constitutional party, wouli be regarded
as fillibusters, and the individuals compos-
ing it treated as such.
