TERRIBLE SCENE.-The following terrible scene
lately occurred at the burning of the Carnsvie,
(lll.) county Jail: Mrs. Plain wife of the Sheriff
was awakened by hearing unusual noises in the
cell OF negro prisoner in the story above as the
means and groans OF some one suffering great pain.
She called up John Ketner, Deputy Sheriff who
took candle and went up stairs. As he unlocked
Inc hall door at the head of the stairs, leading to
tne cells, great volume of smoke burst out into
ms face, driving him back. He made a second at
tempt, and then gave the alarm. Mr.. L. S. Page
also made several unsuccessful attempts to enter
with handkerchief about his mouth. He spoke
to the negro, who replied that il a bucket of water
could be reached to him he could put out the fire
himself. But every effort to reach him failed for
the smoke poured through the iron grating of the
ceitdoor In such volume that one could ap-
proaeh to unlock the sufocating negro. Water
was poured in at the door and window but did
not reach the.tiames. In the absence of anv hose
or hre apparatus of any kind, nothing could be
done to stay the progress of the devouring element
Inc negro, who was lately arrested at Bellevie
Tor stealing horse, was burned to death. 1t is
supposed that he set the fire himself bv means un-
known, with the hope of escaping in the confusion
as he was old Jail bird and recently DISCHARGED
from the Penitentiary. The loss will be some
o4'ooo to the county. No insurance.
The WHEREABOUTS OF Postmaster FowLER.-The
following is an extract of letter from a pentle
man residing at Havana, who went out in the
Moses Taylor with Isaac V. Fowler. 1t conclu-
The letter bears date Havana, June Sd:
awe had only three ladies' on board and six gen.
tlemen, and among the latter the late Post
master, Mr.. Fowler, of New York. He called him
self, while on board, 'Mr. Potts and appeared
quite sociable. After arriving at Havana he called
on Mr.. Helm, our consul, told him who he was and
asked him if he should inform me. The consul re-
piled in the affirmative. So 'Mr. Potts' called and
informed me. He also informed me that Mr. Helm
and myself were the only two persons in Cuba who

persons know him and all about the affair /
should have said that he came on board the Moses
Taylor at Sandy Hook, from a steam-tur he
having left the city the night previous. What his
future intentions are | do not know. This of
course puts at rest the rumors recently nut in cir
culatiOn, that Mr.. Fowler had never left New
York. but was living secretly there with a frend.''
A NOBLE GRL-On the night of the 18th inst,
Miss Moore the daughter of the keeper of the light
house on Fairweather Island, lust below Bridpe-
port, Conn, heard les for help at distance from
the shore, and determined that an effort should be
made to rescue whoever it might be. 1t was too
dark to tell the direction the distance but sum-
monIng two young men to her aid, she launched
the boat belonging to the lighthouse and ordered
them to pull out in the direction of the cries. she

the Sound they found sail-boat capsized, and

brave girl, and brought safely to shore. MIR. Moore
afflicted with i'll health, and when unable to see TO
the details of his office, this daughter assumes the
entire management, trimming the beacon with her
own fair hands.
The NEXT CENsus.-The new plan of paying the
United States Census Marshals a specified sum ner
name collected, will it is said by those who ought
to know, insure more complete returns than were
given under the last regime. the old plan was to
pay the Marshals by the day. the present one makes
1t an object to them to collect many names as
possible in their respective districts Some of tae
best informed Marsbals, who have diligently pur-
sued their Investigations, express great surprise
at the unexpectedly large number of families
found in localities with which they supposed they
were previonsl familiar and in which they be-
ieved there were few persons residing. If the CEN
sus is fairly taken, it will surprise evcuNcw York
ers with the multitude of people who live in tenant
houses and back alleys. 1t NAV be a question,
however, whether the Marshals will not be tempted
to write up fictitious statistics, since it is much
easier to write at home than to collect information
from house to house; and the more they write the
more pay they get.
THE SUMNER IN New ORLEASs.-The Picapme of
Saturday says: Another hot week, unreieved by
any friendly fall of rain, the thermometer showing
all day long the mercury high up among the
eighties, with an occasional ascent into the nine
ties. Nothing but 'SunnineSs and sunniness, - and
no ''rare delights of rain" On Friday we thought
we were going to have some relief; but mol the

Manchester in the afternoon and evening Cf the
9Th instant The price OF seats had been reduced
to oneh half the amount at first advertised, being
finally fixed at $3.50, Sl.25 and G2 cts. The ap-
plause was enthusiastic when Sayers, closely fol-
lowed by Heenan, came upon the platform; each
being in sparring costume, and wearing gloves
They at once ''set to, and had seven bouts, with

Heenan gave good sample of his lett-hand hitting

which he did so much at Farnborough, for he
caught Sayers so full and fair in the forehead,
that the Englisbman staggered backward. In the
third bout Sayers returned the compliment very
cleverly. After some acrobatic exercises by other
performers, the Champions reappeared in the
ring, and the ceremony OF presenting the belts

Commissioner NJ. NJ. Cohen has been engaged in

volumnous, and the trial was still in progress on
