Burning of the steamer berkshire.
OVER FORTY LIVES LOST.

NEW YORK. June Q.
The steamer Berkshire was burned at Esop's
Island, eight miles below Rondout. The fire
originated in the lamp loom, caused by the
explosion of lamp. The loss of life cannot
yet be correctly ascertsined, but it is thought
that at least forty persons perished mostly
burnt to death in the state rooms.
The steamer Berkshire had about 100 pas
sengers. A strong south wind blew the flames
going forwar ], but she was grounded with
only four feet Of water at the beam. Forty O.,
fifty passengers are supposed 10 be lost. The
boat was launched only six weeks ago, and
was furnished in splendid style. The hull
was burned to the waters edge.
The efforts on the part OF some persons on
board to prevent confusion probably most
disastrous mistake. Many are known 10 have
been below whence others had just escaped
with their lives. The boat ran ashore with
most of the passengers yet on boarl. She
laid with her bow in shore in three feet of
water, so that probabla many pas. engers es-
capped by jumping into the water and wading
or swimming ashore. A considerable proper
ton of the passengers had been driven to the
stern by the extreme heat, and that end of The
boat was still in deep water. There was.
therefore, no resource but TO jump overheard
Those who could swim gained the shore but
many foated down with the tide. One indy-
ual counted thirty or forty, among them some
one who had lost three children. One man
became stupfei and lost hold Of a girl he had
rescued and she went down Her mother
had been lett on the boat. Some of the mum.
Der who floated down the river disappeared,
while others were rescued by boat from a
schooner and the steamer james Baldwin.
PoUGBKEEPsIE, N. Y, June o.
Eight bodies have been found so far, and
some identified. Passengers state that prob
ably no one escaped from the ladies' cabin.
1t is thought that about forty are lost, per-
haps more, as only seventy or eighty are
known to have been saved. The passengers
were mostly from Hudson and Catskll. The
river is being dragged and the wreck searched
for bodies. The boat was valued at 100000;
fully insured.

ng-In relation to the cause of the late fire
that there were two or three children at play
10 the shed, neither Of them much over four
years of age. One OF them, not Mr.. Smiths
son, went home and got some matches and re-
turned and kindled the Ere in the shed. He
would not give any matches TO Mr.. Smiths
son but managed the whole matter himself,
aud afterwards remarked that he had "built a
bully fire 10 the she'd" We make this state
ment in justice TO Mr. Smith as it appears
that his son did not have match in his hand.
Mr. Smith and his wife returned from New
Hampshire Wednesday evening and knew
nothing about the fire until they arrived at
the spot where their late residence stood.

THE WOMAN THAT SWALLOWS NEEDLES.
Priscilla Levesque, Canadian French girl, is
about to be exhibited as curiosity. Shs
takes from fifteen totwenty needles day, and
has swallowed in one day 100. She does not
think she sould live month il deprived by
force Of. her fayorite enjoyment. Often she
swallows them under the impression that they
will cause her death, and yet she cannot resist
the temptation. 1t is, indeed, singular case.
When deprived Of them for few days she is
perfectly wretched. To encourage her to eat
needles for the satisfaction Of public curiosity,
Is an act which cannot be too strongly con-
demned. We hardly think Barnum would be
guilty OF such thing.
