Young Sir Henry Hauelock.-A writer
FROM England, who recently met this worthy
son of worthy sire, at party given by
the Lord Mayor of London, thus describes
his personal appearance:
Young Havelock is not more than twenty.
two years old. He is slender, rather tall,
quiet, exceedingly in his aspect, with nothing
whatever OF bravado or personal vanity in
his daring. There was not glance that be-
trayed the lurking ambition that would saw:

battery OF guns in India, through storm of
shot, and for that act received the Victoria
Cross" His face is almost feminine, his fea.
lures small, his neck slender, his hair and
slight mustache black sand glossy, and, be
sides those small ears, combativeness is not
seen. Yet there is one full of courage
quiet and impossible as appeared his father
who yet, when occasion demands, would
springs into the saddle at the summons of
peril, and ride, without one moments hesita-
ton, with fearless, calm, unshrinking cour-
age, into the very thickest of the conflict
Pleasant was it to see him, with genuine
modesty, joining in the praises of God, and
kneeing down devoutly, and covering his
face with his hands, as prayer was offered.
Horrible Su6erings of Family.-The
Pottsville Miners Journal gives distressing
account OF the sutferings of family named
Frantz, in Schulkill county, Pa, during the
extreme cold weather of Saturday ast'
young man, who, it seems, had been sent
from st. Clair to Hazieton, with a team, for
the purpose OF removing the family to the
former place, found it necessary to unhitch
MS horses and leave the wagon on a noun
tam and go home and have his herses shoes
sharpened. The persons composing the
family, lett in that dangerous position were
Mrs. Frantz, five small children, an elder
daughter and her husband. After the driver
hao been absent some time, the family left
the wagon, for the purpose, ii possible, of
reaching their home; but the rain falling
last and freezing as rapidly as it fell, impeded
their progress.
All, finally, became exhausted except the
young man and his wife, who picked up the
remaining child, a boy, and proceeded home
as rapidly as possible. On reaching home.
he informed his friends of the occurrence,
and they started in search of the untortu-
nate sufferers. When discovered, Mrs Frantz
and the children were insensible. The moth
er was lying on her back, with her babe
pressed tightly to her bosom, while her
clothing was frozen to the ground. One of
the children, a little girl, while attempting,
evidently to crawl up the mill; had slipped;
her clothing was stripped from her person,
and she was found exposed and frozen to the
ground. The children were taken to a
place of shelter; but Mrs. Frantz was not re-
moved until a wagon had been procured
The first inquiry from her lips when restored
to CONSCIOUSNESS, was for her children. The
boy first taken home, has died. 1t is thought
That Mrs. Frantz will recover. The babe is
we'll There is, however, some doubt of the
recovery of the other children.

Women IA Railroad Cause.-The Hartford
(Connecticut) Courant is exceedingly ia
dignant at some o, the women passengers
on the railroad lines. 1t says on their Con-
necticut roads almost every woman claims
two seats-one for her precious sell, and one
Ito use Virginia expression) 'to tote her
plumber
1t makes no difference how many men are
standing up, the fair creatures must have
room. Sometimes some beilounced women,
we never use the word lady in such con-
nection, spreads herself and her traps over
four seats. She pays for but one. The CON
ductors, a,niabe men as they are, never in
tertere to give every traveller his equal
rights. They probably are too much hem
pecked at home, to make the women do JUS
tice abroad. There is nothing that so
strongly exhibits the utterly uuamiable char
acter OF a woman as this cold, naughty con-
tempt of the rights and comforts OF others.
A man who is in love with girl should, be-
tore he declares himself, witness how she
conducts herself in crowded car. 1t is
good criterion OF her seltishness. She will
never make kind wife or mother. 1t is re-
commended to the masculiaes to form a
"Men's Rights Society,"" and compel con-
ductors to give them seats when there are
any to spare.

votG-iScene8 and Incidents.
We published Friday by telegraph an
account of disasterous fire that broke out
in New York at AZ o'clock on Thursday
morning. To-day we add some interesting
particulars from the New York papers of
Friday. The loss, it appears, is less severe
than at first reported. The Times says:
The flames were at first observed issuing
from the second story windows of the build
ing No. So Ann street, occupied by Messrs
Black, Gramm u Co. as a mandatory of
gilt mouldings for looking glass frames. An
alarm was raised which met with response
from the fire department, several companies
of which are stationed in the neighborhood.
The intense cold, however,-the thermomet-
er at this time having been at degrees be-
low zero seriously retarded the effective
operation of the tiremen land it was not until
much time had been spent in thawing out
the hydrants, which were found to be frozen
up, by means OF fires banked around them,
that any water could be obtained.
Meantime, with this unfortunate state of
affairs in their favor, the flames had rapidly
attained Roadway, and in less than an hour
the structure in which the conhagraton had
originated, extending from Beekman to Ann
street, was completely destroyed. Thence
the fire communicated to the buildings ad-
joining on either side, and range Of tall
warehouses, having front of 125 feet on
Beekman street, became a mass of smoking
ruins before the flames could be subjugated.
Unfortunately the distractions of property
was not confined to this block. Leaping
across Ann street, the fire swept through
the rear of several stores in Fulton street,
destroying the intermediate buildings, when
happily its further progress was arrested.
Its origin has not been ascertained. Fifteen
buildings in all were consumed.
The Tribune says:
The greatest excitement prevailed on ev-
cry side, and many persons residing and
doing business in the vicinity of the fire
made preparations to remove their goods
So intensely cold had the weather become
tina the ordinary engines were frozen UP and
rendered useless, and had it not been for the
steam engines, it is impossible to say what
would have been the extent of the confagra-
ton. Several buildings on Gold street, be-
tween Ann and Fulton streets, took fire from
the intense heat, but they were saved from
destruction through the exertion of the fire.

street were touched, bat escaped serious

A Cotton Factory.

We are pleased to hear that it is in con.
temptation by number of our most enter
prising citizens, to start a cotton factory in
our city. We understand the matter will
be arranged on the joint stock principle, and
the stock will be pat in shares Of $25 each,
so as to allow persons in medium circamstan-
ces to take stock.
We are really happy to be enabled to make
this statement, as it is an evidence of prop
er awakening on subject of vital impor
moth unde. taking, but to be commenced on
a small and economical scale, so as to induce
the intr oductien of others, and it is believed
that the ball once set successfully in mo-
tion will roll on to glorious results.
The great quantity of cotton passing
through this city each year on its way to a
market. can only II rendered of profit to our
city by being stopped here and manufactur-
ed; for whilst its mere handling leaves but a
small pittance TO our citizens, its being man
ufactured into merchantable fabrics would
give employment to a thousand persons, in
addition to those who now profit slightly by
its passing through here. We have in our
midst large class of unproductive labor,
who at present are non-producing consul
mers, rendered SO unfortunately, by their in
ability to secure employment. Open your
factories of all kinds, set them to work, and
our city will once more put on thriving
appearance, and every foot of property in
crease in value three-fold.
