PAINFUL ACCIDENT-Thc Richmond cor
respondent of the Petersburg Express says:
a painful accident occurred last evening,
at Miss Pannill's boarding house. A we'd
ding party was about leaving there for the
church, when the dress of one of the brides
maids, Miss Ellen Fuller caught fire from a
lamp, and a scene of great excitement ensued;
Several persons rushed to her assistance, and
Alex. Jones. the bridegroom, burnt his hands
quite badly. Miss Fulers injuries were
severe, but not considered fatal. Her escape
from death is doubtless owing to the flannel
with which her person was protected. The
incident seriously marred the pleasures of
the wedding. The ceremony, however, pro-
ceedcd. and the newly married pair left i'll
the cars for Il bridal tour"

Gov. BANKS AT THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE PRrsoN.-His Excellency surprised" the in- mates and most of the officers of this institu- tion last Sabbath, by making his appearance at the chapel service. His presence evidently produced the happiest effect. After the ser mon by the chaplain, the warden, Hon. Gideon Haynes, introduced the Governor to the aston ished audience. As visitors are frequently in attendance upon the chapel service, the con victs had not suspected who he was until his name was announced. He then proceeded to address them in speech of great appropriate ness and power. It was an exceedingly affect ing spectacle to see the highest representative of the State standing thus in the presence of five hundred criminals, mostly young men. He was so overcome by his emotions at several points in his address, that he was obliged to pause and give vent to his falling tears. A large portion of the convicts, and also the spectators wept most freely. In the afternoon his Excellency visited the cells of about a hundred of the convicts, and passed, as he had promised he would do, "word of comfort with them" He proposes to repeat his visits occasionally, until he shall have had an inter view with each one of thenl.--Bost0n Jonrmal
