TERRIFIC SCENE-A THOUSAND AM

few days ago the burning of the Pacific
at Uniontown, KY. one of the finest
steamers on the western~aters. She had
a very large quantity of live stock on
board, and the burning of these poor crea,
lures must have been sickening sight
One account says, Mr.. Robert Ford, pas
senger, cut the halter of one of his fine
horses, which swan ashore. A large bul-
lock also swan out, but died as soon as ii
reached the shore. The scene Of the
burning boat and its thousand head Of
live stock, all tied 10 the stake, prey to
the devouring flames, was fearful and hor'
/ rible in the extreme. There were seven
hundred and fifty sheep, and one hundred
and thirty head of cattle, mules and hor'
ses, all burnt alive, with no chance of es
cape. In addition to the live stock, there
was upwards of three hundred tons o
pork, bacon and flour on board, which, to

nature cannot be ascertalned-*as :" hmt
istence as early as the reign of Edward III.
The earliest mention of a chief Postmaster
for England is in Ca:nden's Annals, under
date of 1881, but what his office was, OF
how it was managed, does not appear
clearly: and probably, from the limited
state of the correspondence of the coun-
try, it was of trifiing consequence. James
1. erected the first Post office for the con-
veyance of letters to and from foreign
parts. which he placed under the control
of Mathew de Quester, or de L'Equester
This office was afterward claimed by Lori
Stanhope; but in 1852 was confirmed and
continued to William Frize and Thoma,
Witherings, by King Charles |. ltw"uid
appear that, previous to this time, persons
were accustomed to convey letters to and
from foreign parts, but all such interference
with the Postmaster's Office was expressly
prohibited, and in 1885 all private Inland
posts We're forbidden.
