SAD ACCIDENT. "A daughter OF AL
BERT CoLLNs, freedman, living near
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, came
near being burned to death yesterday.
She was busy seeing about cooking
dinner, when her clothes caught fire,
and she ran into the garden where
her mother was at work. The wind
was blowing freshly at the time,
which of course aggravated the flame,
aud before she could be rescued, she
was terribly burned. Her mother
was also badly burned in endeavoring
to save the girl. The citizens in the
vicinity promptly repaired to the spot
to do all in their power for the unfor-
tupate persons, but the gate being
locked, their services could not be
rendered ia. time to check the serious
ness Of the misfortune.
The girl Is about sixteen years old,
1t is thought she will recover.

CHEAP SALT IN ABUNDANcE.-On Petite
Anse Island, in the southern part of
Louisiana, there is a bed of rock salt
covering ovcr one hundred acres, which,
dnring the late war, supplied nearly the
whole of the trans. Mississippi district.
Twenty-one million pounds were taken
from it in three months. Immediate steps
are now taking. to develop the mine.
Thi salt is found in quantities that are
inexhaustible-may be quarried out of
the bed where it lies like rocks very
pure, and is very accessible. Why can
not salt from that vein be laid Gown in
St. Louis at about two.thirds the cost of
salt brought here from any other quarter ?

The method of transporting freight
in barges, just adopted by the Trans
portation Company will SO far reduce
the cost of all articles consumed or used
by US, that the West can, hereafter, con
troll the entire trade Of the great Mississ-
ippi Valley. Why cannot up freights
be made as cheap for the Western peo-
pie by the same system that makes freight
cheap for us No necessity whatever
for the barges to return Up the river
