STEAM BARGE ON FIRE-FRIGHr OF THE PAssEN
GERs.-About halfpast O'Clock last night great
excitement was caused in Hoboken, by the an
nouncement that a barge, containing passengers,
was on flre in the river, and was heading for the
sh1re IL proved to be the steam-barge Il. G. Durant,
Albany county, New York. She left her dock foot
or NOrth Moore street, about o'clock with some
fifteen passengers, including six woman and some
children Shortly after getting out into the river
nre was discovered IN the after part under the main
deck, near the boiler. The excitement among the
passengers became very great and the female por-
ton ran about the decks screaming and acting in a
most frantic manner. In a few moments the flames
had made considerable headway, and in less than
ten minutes the stern of the boat enveleped in
names. The captain at once ordered her to be run
ashore at Hoboken; and, as she was on her way,
the steamboat ShutZ across her bow and at
tempted to take a line, but was unsuccessful. In
the meantime some of the less excited persons had
all they could do to prevent some of the passengers
from leaping overheard. The pilot succeeded in
running the barge alongside of dock near the
acht clubhouse. Some of the firemen were al
ready present, and in few moments all the passen-
gers, who were clustered together at the bow, were
safely landed without accident. The fremen then
directed their attention to battling the flames,

YOU'VE LADY KILLED BY WAD FROM CANNON.
On Tuesday night at Portsmouth, NH, Miss Ann
NJ Maria Martin, daughter of Mr.. Thomas Martin,
died from the effects of singular wound received
on Saturday, when salute was fired from the
yacht Zinga. Expecting a display of fireworks
from the Znga, she coming in, a large num-
Der of people had gathered on the wharf. salute
from 2pound cannon was fired on board the
yacht. The wad was of waste cotton, and of course
was very dense; and although the muzzle of the
gun was judged to be depressed far below the
wharf, yet, being pointed towards the people, the
wad struck Miss Martin, broke several steel hoops
In her SKIRT and one of them cut a fearful cash
across the lower portion of her body, allowing the
lntestlnes to protrude. She was taken home as
soon as possible, though the bystanders had no idea
of the nature of the terrible injury she had re-
ceived- To some who crowded around her and
annoyed her with questions, where she was hurt,
and how much, she replied in great agony "You
40 not know now much am hurt Take HON
that may die with my mother"
A SNAKE SToRY-A Nan Charmed.-The Syra

accident the man stepped between the birds and the
snake, the man was charmed himself, and unable to
until friends interfered and broke the snakes
back and the charm at the same moment. A few
days since, while Mr.. NOrthrop and several friends,
connected with the Central road, were examining
the bridges on the road, to ascertain whether they
were safe or not, the whole party passed under a
bridge, on one of the abutments of which bird
had built her nest. A large black snake lay on the
stones opposite the nest, charming the birds, when
Mr.. Northrop passed between the snake and the
birds. The charm was so strong that the moment
he caught sight of the snake he stopped invounta-
rly, and stood perfectly motioness until his friends
discovering his position, approached and killed the
reptile, and relieved both Mr.. Northrop and the
birds from their unpleasant predcament
