vlle was burned to death in a few moments
Her mother had left her to go to y near neigh
boris house on some business, and during her
absence the little girl attempted to kindle the fire
in the stove, when her clothes caught from a
coal or spark, and in a very short time she was
enveloped in flames. Before the necessary assist

This is another sad warning to those having

THE DUTy ON PRINTING PApER.--The
New York Post states the following facts
as reasons why the dnty on paper should
be removed a
That the high duty on printing paperis o
barren one TO the public treasury. That it
benefits nobody but the paper-m Makers
That it increases the burden Of taxation
and the amount of the public debt. That
it operates not only as tax on the diffusion
Of information, but as tax on schools and
education. That it not only makes prin-
ting paper dear, but debases its quality,
and that it checks and restraints the exer-
else of American ingenuity in the improve
ment Of the manufacture of paper. a

Messrs. Editors Of the Union:
In compliance with your request, will give
sou some of the doings in our portion of the
county. The all absorbing question is the Draft.
Some weeks since, Il few citizens took the matter
in hand, and called meeting, which was SHINY
attended they were not justified in doing any
thing, but adjourned over to. that night week,
when we had much butter attendance. We
appointed a committee Of three, consisting fMr.

Alter much labor they reported the reducing OF
the list from $50 to 6lS names, which is still in
excess Of the No. liable or fit for military duty.
This district was Shamefuly enrolled, many
being upon the list who never lived in IL. 1t
gave the committee great pleasure to bear testi-
mony toathe kind and gentemanly manner with
which they were received by Col Holland, Provost
Marshal. He chcerfully granted them every IA
ciliy in his power to enable them successfully
10 prosecute their labor. On Friday night last,
we had quite lage meeting, at which COM
mittee three, consisting OF Mr.. F.. l.. Morning,
Chairman, Messrs. Lewis Turner ST., and N. H.
Hale, were appointed TO cooperate with similar
committees from other districts TO memorabilia
the county Commissioners to offer bounty in
addition to the State bounty, and thereby enable
the county to fill her quota without draft 1t is
the general impression, that with proper effort
the call can be met, but the time is short aud
needs quick work.
