The Normal School at LIberty,-Sup erin

finally been made that secures the term OF the
Normal School at Liberty, in this County beyond
a peradve nture. The Superintendent has been
iudefatigable in his efforts to secure to the Teach

School Last week the prospects were SO dark
for the success of the undertaking, that Mr.. Dodge
had almost despaired, but another weeks work,
canvassng the country, has enabled him to place
the term of a normal school on @ sure footing.
Among the eminent men who will take part in
in the instruction of the School will be Prot. SILL

17o,,.;,,,. accident-.-Burned to Death.

I U..., Aforementioned Death.
Wo are called upon to record one of the most
+errible accidents that make one shudder to con-
+o,onIate that occurredin our city last week. The
facts are briefly these:
Miss EMMA GEORGE, the Oldest daughter of DR.
Isaac George, a young lady of some Is years OF
age, on Friday evening, about seven o'clock, was
go badly burned by her clothes taking fire as 10
cause her death Miss George was at home alone
the other members of the family having stepped
out for the time being. Her father had lel'
spirit lamp burning in the room, over which was
some dental preparation, which he requested MS
daughter to notice. and not permit TO rise ABOVE
a certain ternperature She stood by the lamp
with the thermometer in her hand, when the lamp
expIoded throwing the blazing alcohol all over
her She had on light muslin dress, that caught
nt once. and the unfortunate young lady was al
most instantaneously enveloped IN hames' ohe
fought for moment desperately, trying to extln-
guish the fame, but unavailingly, and then ran
screaming into the street. The motion and the
air gave fury to the fire, and she ran, the flame
of her burning clothing streamed high above her
head. Several persons were attracted by her
screams and ran to her assistance, but her clothes
were burnt almost entirely off her, before they
could be extipguished. DR.. Doolittle, who lives
the second door, and DR.. Seeley, who happened
to be Mt Dr. Dooittle's ct the time, took quilt
and wrapped it around the burning girl But the
greedy flames had already done their fatal work.
Her flesh was fairly roasted, and it was evident
that the unfortunate and suffering young lady
could not long survveher dreadful injuries. With
great presence of mind she had shielded her eyes
so that although her face and head were badly
burned they were uninjured.
Everything that medical skill could do, was
done, but in vain. She fingered in great agony
until about three o'clock Saturday afternoon,
when death relieved her from further suffering
Miss George estimable young lady, and
esteemed by large circle of acquaintance Her
uneral, on Sabbath afternoon, was attended by a
arge audience of sympathizing friends.

The work of Esecruiting.-The business
of our city for the past week, has been recruiting
The time for recruiting was extended on Friday
last, for one week and our citizens went to work
again with the hope of raising the quota Of the
county without drafting. Almost every day this
week thus far our Merchants and business men
have closed their stores and offices at noon, and
devoted the balance of the day to the work OF re>
cruitipg. We presume their labors have not been
in vain, but at the present writing we nave nor
the result of the efforts that have been made to
raise our quota by enlistment Several OF the re"
cruiting officers have operated mostly in the counN
try and have not yet come in. We shall probably
not know the true result until the several recruits
ing officers have made their official report We
shall then know how many men have been raised
and how many left to be raised by the draft

New Reaper.-Mr. H. r, LEvEY, an enter
prising young farmer of Bristol, has succeeded in
building a Reaper, of an entirely new pattern -
Its construction is simple in every part The
main drive wheel is thirty-one inches in diameter
and gives the sickle higher motion than any
other machine in use. The Reaper itself runs on
two large wheels constructed of wood and tired
yet light and durable. There is perceptlble
side draft, whatever, and it is fact, ob-
servable to all that have seen it work, that
it runs as easy as an empty lumber wagon would
over plowed ground. The arrangement of rails,
| ing the sickle bar is an entirely new thing, not
raising the bar itself, but by simply touching a
lever, the whole body of the reaper is raised over
any obstacle.
| The first trial was made in heavy field OF
lodged clover; it cut its way through clear 1t was
then run through the swarth with equal success.
Mr.. L. never learned trade of any kind; yet he
made all his patterns, did all the wood work and
blacksmithing, carried on his farm, and had his
reaper ready for the harvest field, and only com
menced working on it in May last. The work was
carried on at every disadvantage without proper
tools, or place to work. If any young man can
beat at, let us hear from him.
