the utmost difficulty. There was not
door through which her bulky frame
could obtain passage. 1t was likewise
feared that the stars would break down
even if she shoulc reach them. Her
best friend, the living skeleton, stood by
her as long as he dtred, but then desert
ed her, while, as tie heat grew in inten-
sity, the perspimiou rolled from her
face in little brooks and riyulets, which
pattered musically upon the floor. AT
length, as a last TeSort, the employees OF
the museum procured q lofty derrick,
which fortunately happened to be stand
ing near, and erected it alongside the
Museum. A portion of the wall was
then broken off oneach side of the win
dow, the strong tadIle was got in readi-
ness, the fat womal was made fast to
one end and swungover the heads of the
people in the stree with Is men grasp
ing the other extremity of the line, and
lowered down from the third story amid
enthusiastic applause. A carriage Of
extraordinary capacity was in readiness,
and, entering this, ihe young lady was
driven to hotel
sBRPRT PANIC.
When the surviving serpents that
were released by the partial burning OF
the box in which they were confined,
crept along on the aoor to the balcony
of the Museum, and dropped on the
sidewalk, the crowd, seized with Saint
Patrick's aversion to the reptiles, fled in
such precipitate haste that they knocked
each other down and trampled on one
another in the most reckless and DANA
ging manner
Hats were lost, coats torn, boots
burst and pantalooRs ripped with mag
niflcent miscellaneousness, and dozens OF
those who rose from the miry streets,
into which they had been thrown, look
ed like the disembodied spirits Of a mud
bank.
The snakes craw,ed on the sidewalk
and into Broadway where some of them
died from injuries received, and Others
were dispatched by the excited popu'
lace Several of the serpents of the
copperhead species escaped the fury Of
the tumultuous masses, and true to theiT
instincts sought shelter in the World
and News offices.
a GENUINE BEAR IN WALL STREET.
A large black bear escaped from the
burning MuseUin into Ann street, anC
then made his way into Nassau, anC
down that thoroughCare into Wall
where his appearance caused a sensa
ton. u.
Some superstitious persons believed
and others of Els . fraternity welcomed
the animal as favorable omen. The
bear walked quietly along to the Custom
House, assembled the steps Of the build
| ing, and became bewildered as many 6
biped bear has done before him. HI
seemed to lose his sense of vision, and
no doubt, endeavoring to operate for 8
fall, walked over the side of the steps
and broke his neck. He succeeded il
his object, but it cost him dearly.
The appearance of Bruin in the street
sensibly affected the stock market, anC
shares fell rapidly; but when he lost
his life in the careless manner we have
described, shares advanced again, anc
the Bulls triumphed once more.

MURDER AND LYNCHTNG IN ILLINOIS.
"A startling tragedy was enacted at
Nashville, Ill.,. on the Fourth. A Ger
man named Jacob Meier had employed
two men named White and McGready
to assist him during harvest. The two
laborers declined to work on the Fourth
and asked for the money due them,
which Meier refused pay, as he was dis
appointed by their determination not to
work. After this, which occurred in
the field, the two men repaired to Meier's
house and ordered his wife to tell them
where his money was concealed. Upon
her refusing they began torturing her
with boiling water from the stove. Up.
on her persistently refusing to produce
the money, one of the men brought in
an iron wedge from the yard and beat
her on the head until he had killed her.
To prevent the murder from being
known the men then set fire to the
house, and securely locking the doors
and fastening the windows, went direct
ly into the woods short distance off.
The smoke was soon seen issuing from
the house, and one of the neighbors
bursting open the door saw the dead
body of Meier's wife on the floor. The
atroclous murder caused great excite
ment, and the people turned out in every
direction to seek for the perpetrators.
The next day White was caught on his
way to ST. Louis. He had travelled
about twenty five miles on foot and had
fallen asleep on the side of the road. He
was taken back to the village, where he
made @ confession of all that had oc-
cured. About O'Clock the same even
ing it was determined to lynch him
He was given few moments to prepare
himself for death, when a rope was
placed around his neck and he was hung
to a tree in view of the ruins of the
house where the cruel and brutal mur-
der was committed. At last accounts
McGready had not been arrested

HUNG. - William Bell, formerly OF
Searsburgh, in this State, was hung in
Waukegan, ILL.,, June 30th, for the muir
der of an old lady named Ruth Briden.
The Waukegan Gazette says: Bell is the
man that broke open Keyes' store in
Vershire, some nine years since, or more,
and broke from the Chelsea Jail, and, as
report says, served out term in Wind
sor prison. There was no doubt of his
guilt, and he determined to stick to his
first story, and die with lie on his
tongue.

EXPERIENCE OF A CoUNTRyMAN IN THE
C1Ty.-John Travers of Co. B, 9th Vt.
Vols, who lives in q country town IN
Vermont called Rutland, had an unfor-
tunate experience in the City of Burling-
ton last Wednesday night. On his way
to the Rutland depot in the aforesaid
city, he fell in with a Hibernian named
Martin Flanagan. On sauntering along
to the depot with Flanagan, they
found the train gone,when they refreshed
ed themselves at q fountain in the city
where diluted hops" are sold, and Flan-
nagan introduced to the Rutland soldier
oneJThomuel O'Brien of New York regi-
ment and one Billiam Hurry of Massa-
chusetts regiment. The veterans pro-
oveaed ominably to the "battery, when
Travers' companions charged on his
pockets and capLurou ul,v.er.~.. ateo, in
greenbacks. The assailants then "cut
stick, but were apprehended next day,
after an exciting chase by the Fperlice, u
and about $8S of the money was recov-
cred. The thiefs were lodged in Jail in
default of $500 each for their appear
ance at the County Court. -.t. ,

iC's obedient servant,
P. T. BARNUM.
35 CHAMBER STREET,
New York, July IA, 1865.

The old Museum building belonged to
VIM. B. Astor. Barnum proposes to
erect the new one further up town, and
says he will build such one as will as
tonish the world, one three times as large
as the old one, and with menagerie of
wild beasts on the roof. Great is
Barnum.
The loss suffered by Barnum on Thurs
day was less than fourth Of the ag-
gregate loss occasioned by the fire, yet
it is only the loss of the Museum that
is particularly thought of, and although
more extensive and destructive fires have
occurred in New York City, there has
hardly been one attended with so much
excitement and so many noteworthy in
cidents, There were fortunately but few
persons in the building at the time the
fire broke out, or many lives might have
been lost. We take from the New York
papers the following interesting eX-
tracts in relation to the fire
i The scene within the Museum from
> the discovery of the fire down to the
time when, about l o'clock, the last ven
, turesome fireman was driven from his
! ladder, was one of painful interest; for
scarcely had the alarm been sounded in
i the street when the flames rom the
f furnace below belChed into the lower
1 halls of the great edifce, and rendered
: it manifest that the conaagration, so far
= az the Museum was concerned, had
l oassed human control. Then there was
living to and fro among the attaches of
bhe theatrical department, who vainly
strove to save their wardrobe and other
: yaluables; the struggling countrymen
: who had wandered among the micro
5 cosm of curiosities rushed hither and
thither, seeking egress from the build
: ing; presently the police filed in. to
guard property and save life, and at
! length the flremen came clambering up
the walls, and bowling into the lecture
room, dashing their axes through the
floors, and swinging their trumpets, as
If to menace the multitude; and to the
three or four spectators who preserved
sufficient GOODNESS to take sober note of
the spectacle it seemed wonderful that
there was not enormous loss of life.
This scene of terror was not with
out its =
COMIC INCIDENTS, F.
which we give in the language of one
of the few enterprising reporters who
yentured into the fiery furnace and came
forth unscathed. Mr.. w. B. Harrison,
the extemporaneous and comic singer,
had some very funny adventures in his
attempts at escape. He reports that
while in his dresslng-room he heard con-
siderable noise in Broadway, and think
Ing 1t to be merely a flreman's diversion
le went up stairs to look out of the
window. When he reached the stage
the auditorium was filled with a dense
uass of smoke, but he was informed
nat the fire was in the engine room,
nd that it would probably soon be out.
Ding back for his wardrobe, Mr.. Har-
ION found great difficulty IN reaching
