Il We learn that the gn.house belonging to fhs
estate Of the late Capt. Vim. Waters was Destroy
ed by FIRE on Thursday morning last, together with
about one hundred and forty bales Of cotton. We
are informed that the lcss is covered BY insurance.
The cause Of the ire, as stated to us, was by the
explosion Of the boiler, which threw the burning
embers into the loft Of the gin, where was CON
siderable quantity of loose cotton, which ignited
and set the roof on fire in a very few minutes.
Every effort was made to save the building, but to
no purpose. The loss by the fire is estimated at
about $4,000. This is the third lot of cotton
which has been destroyed in that neighborhood
within the last two weeks.
The Union Parish Democrat says the acorn crop
is heavy there and that the hogs have all gotfat
it. Corn scarce and the cotton crop very poor.

of the canal at Dickson's Landing, was running at
the rate Of twelve miles per hour, and when within
few yards of the guard lock, the Captain diseov-
cred that two barges obstrueted the entrance. To
stop his vessel was impossible, and he had either
to run into the barges and sink them at the e2-
pense of human life, down the frightfu boiling
rapid near, or run into the lighthouse. Choosing
the least danger he steered into the lighthouse,
which was completely demolished, SO great was
the conclusion. No lives were lost and very little
damage done the vessel.

prom the Toronto Leader Of Nov. a.t

A novel case of extradition has just arisen. A
slave from Missouri, who is accused of numbering
bis master and then escaping to Canada, il claimed
for surrender and trial by the United Ststea an
thorites. This slave, whose name is Jones, ap-
pears to have been In the act of running away
when, finding he was pursued by his master, he
turned upon and killed him; the master having in
his turn, ran for his life. Under these circum-
stances, the extradition of the fugitive slave and
accused murderer is demanded. There Is nothing
to take the Of Jones out Of the ordinary cata
CORY, except that he was slave. and that he was
in the act of attempting to escape from servitude
when the alleged murder was committed.
slaye is not authorized to commit murder; and if
Jones be guilty Of the crime charged against him,
we see nothing in the Aahbnrton treaty to ex-
empt him from extradition The treaty, in dealing
with cases of murder does not exempt slaves from
the penalties due to the crime; and IL it can be
shown that he was guilty OF murder, we can see
no reason why Jones should not be sent back for
trial. The case is q novel one; and it is just as
well that it be circumspectly dealt with. While
showing every desire to give the extraditon clauses
of the Ashburton treaty due effect, in case OF
this kind, the Canadian authorities felt that the
prisoner ought to have every chance that the law
affords shown him. The Government, instead Of
allowing the case to be disposed OF BY q magis-
trate, has referred it to the judges and provided
stion party have as usual, attempted to condemn
the Government for the course it has taken. UR-
less they intend to lay it down as maxim that a
/ slave is entitled to commit murder without being
| called on to expiate his crime, it Is difficult to
understand the drift Of their objection. Although
1 it was known that the Government was to provide
for the defence Of the prisoner subscription has
i been gotten up by opposition patriots for that
4 purpose. s
4 A dispatch from Toronto states that the case
was argued at length on the 24th, before the Court
4 of Queen's Bench, at Toronto. The decision
whether the slave be given up to the United
States authorities not was to be rendered the
| following Thursday.

On Monday afternoon man named a. FL. Fahne
stock, in the employ Of Messrs. William A. Wentz

severely scalded that he died of his injuries at IL
o'clock on Tuesday morning. He was engaged in
preparing the oysters for packing, and it is neces
sary to boil them first. They are accordingly
thrown into an immense vat of boiling water. and
this vat is covered over with boards to keep in the
steam. Fahnestock had occasion to pass from one
part of the room to the other, and in doing so,
stepped upon one of the boards covering the vat,
when it gave way, and he was precipitated into
the boiling water up to the chin. He was there
but instant as he caught the edge Of the vat as
he went down, and sprung out, His fellow work
men tore the clothing from his person, when his
body presented horrible appearance. From his
neck to the soles of his feet he was one blister.
Flour was procured. and he was covered with it.
and then removed to his home on Bidde street,
near Cathedral, where DR.. White rendered medical
attention. The blister broke in many places and
exhibited the flesh literally cooked, and in some
instances almost ready to drop from the bones.
He fingered, suffering the most intense agony, until

to his relief. He leaves wife and five small

AN INCIDENT OF THE CHINESE WAR.-A letter
from China says When the French troops entered
the fortified village of Pohtangho, they found that
its inhabitants and defenders had evacuated it. In
several houses were found large earthenware jars,
nearly five feet high, placed in out of the way
corners and filled with water. But on the surface
of the water in one was seen human foot, and on
the jars being broken, the dead body of woman
was found in eachi From the appearance of the
bodies, the women could only have been dead q
short time, and death must have been caused by
being plunged head-foremost into the water. 1t
was afterwards ascertaned that the inhabitants of
the town had killed in this strange way such Of
their women as were not strong enough to support
a long march, and might, in consequence, have
fallen into the hands of the conquerors. Altogether
about one hundred dead bodies were found The
same letter says: When the French, after severe
struggle, had possessed themselves of the large
fort, they found in corner mandarin surrounded
by detachment of Chinese infantry. He was
greatly excited, and endeayored, both by language
and gestures to induce his soldiers to return to the
combat. Not succeeding, he declared that he
would not survive such disgrace, and then he cut
his throat with his sword. He had to make three
gashes before he succeeded in his purpose. As a
general rule the Chinese do not seem to fear DEATH
