A Woman Burnt 10 DeaIh

One Of the most distressing and awful
accidents we have lately heard Of occur
red on Monday evening at Lafayette,
a town about four miles north ofLondOn,
Ohio. Mr.. Christopher Martin, who re-
sides at that place, had returned home
from this city, and his wife, at about
seven o'clock, set about preparing his
supper AS the fire was slow in kindling,
she took can of coal oil and poured
some oil upon the fire to make it burn
more rapidly. The can suddenly ex,
ploded, covering her person with oil, and
setting fire to her clothing.
Mr.. Martin was at the time out of
doors in the yard. His wife, with the
flames wrapping her person, and rising
above her head, ran out of the house,
imploring him to get blanket and
wrap it round her He procured the
blanket as sson as possible, and folded it
round her, and threw water upon her in
large quantities; but all did not suffice
to save the unfortunate woman. She was
so dreadfully burned that the flesh lit
orally dropped from her feet and other
parts of her body. She lived about
three hours, when death came and put
an end to her sufferings.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The Herald's

June 9th, says: The Spanish fleet was
still unheard from. Nearly month had
elapsed, at the date of his letter, and no

any vessel deserted them.

Romance.

We tell the tale as twas told to us
By the Pottsfeld (Illinois) Democrat. In
Barry, the other day, two couples, that is
Is to say, two fellows and their gals
started out to spend the day picnicing.
During the day, owing to the influence
of the weather, the moon, or some other
mysterious cause, the humor came upon
them to go to Quincy and get married.
Inasmuch as the usual amount of set
ting up of nights, walking by moon
light, going home from church together,
&c, &c, had transpired, it was emil
nently proper that they should marry.
They did so, and quietly returned their
wives to the arms OF their respective
parents without any announcement OF
what had been done at Quincy. A
week passed away without either gen.
tleman asserting the rights which are
conferred By matrimonial union: AT
the expiration of week, one OF the
gentleman having OCCASION to be absent
from Barry for several days, concluded to
take his wife with him. He called at
her parental house and asked her to
90. She was willing, but the, fond pa
rents refused to have their daughters
character jeopardized by such transac
ton, and positively refused to let her 60
Finding them unyielding, he was
obliged to draw his marriage certificate
and assert his right as a husband. The
announcement thus being made, the
other young gent concluded to claim his
bride, aid did so Inasmuch as the
matches were perfectly satisfactory to
the respective parents, while these
doings, and not doings, may have
seemed very romantic to the actors there.

What the Age Wants.

A writer says The great want of
this age is men Men who are not for
sale. Men who are honest, sound from
the centre to the circumference, true to
the hearts core. Men who fear the Lord
and covetousness. Men who will con-
denim wrong in friend or foe, in them
selves as we'll as in others. Men whose
consciences are steady as the needle to
the pole. Men who will stand for the
right if the heavens totter and the earth
reels. Men who can tell the truth and
look the world and the devil right in tho
eve, Men that neither braQ nor rnn.
Mo- that neither sw3gger nor finch.
Men who can have courage without
whistling for it, and JOY. without
shouting to bring it, Men in whom the
current of everlasting life runs still
and deep, and strong. Men careful of
Gods honor and careless of mans ap-
plauso. Men too large for sectarian linn
It's and too strong for sectarian bands.
Men who do not strive, nor cry, nor cause
their voices to be heard ia the street,
but who will not fail, nor be discouraged,
till judgment be set in the earth. Men
who know the message and tellit. Men
who know their place and fill it, Men
who know their duty and do it. Men
who mind their own business. Men who
will not lie Men who are not too lazy to
work, nor too proud to be poor. Men
who are willing to eat what they hay e
earned and wear what they have paid
for. Men who know in whom they have
believed Men whose feet are on the
everlasting rock Men who are not
ashamed of their hope. Men who are
strong with divine strength, wise with
the wisdom that cometh from above,
and loving with the love of Christ. Men

CURIOUS PHENOMENA AFTER DEATH
After the death of Mr. James Hayward
of cholera, so it is reported-in New
York city, last Thursday night, an under
taker was sent for to prepare the bedy
for the grave, In few minutes he came
from the room shouting, The man is
living; the man is moving DR.. Water
man, the police surgeon, was then called
in, and on examination found that the
body had not been resuscitated, but was
merely undergoing some involuntary
motions caused by the contraction of the
muscles of the arms and twitching of
the eyelids, condition of things not
unknown to strict observers of cholera
cases The movements referred to occur
in cases where patients die of spasm, a
notable feature of cholera cases. After
death the muscles relax and cause the
movements by which the undertaken was
so much alarmed.
