Sad aud Fatal Accideu

by correspondent that the house Of John McNulty
at Dimock Corners. Susquehanna County was burn
ed the night of the 10th inst. resulting in the
death Of his three children and burning his wife so
badly rs TO cause her life to be despaired Of The
FIRE occurred about IL O'Clock at night while the in
mates of the house wrapt in profound Sleep and
unconscious o: the danger which surrounded them
Our correspondent says "that Mrs. McNulry was
awakened by the FIRE, and she called for her eldest
son. boy of Is years Mr.. McNulty being absent
from hOme-to get one of the children out Of the
windo' but at that instant the roof fell in and the
three children were burned to death. The mother
dug her way out, but is burned so badly tn death
will soon release her. The boy was taken from the
ruins with his head and feet burned Off The ro-
mains of the other two children found the next
day and gathered up.
Mr. McNulty was at work at Binghamton, trying
to get money to pay for his little farm.
| The FIRE is supposed to have originated from an
outdoor FIRE which had been used for butcheriug
purposes.
Danger Gus Cushion Some time since ply
sician was consulted by young man who receiveda
serious injury to his eye, from its coming in contact
with a needle. while he reclining upon the bo-
som of lady friend The needle penetrated the
eye. and caused so destructive inflammation that
the DR.. was unable to subdue il before the vision
was entirely gone. Yourg l"dies-particularly
those who have lOvers-take warning, and use some
suitable repository for your pins and needles

who will a woong go, endeavor to Sc. your legit-
mate resting places, at home and in bed before the

Foot Race.-The Sharon Herald, speaking of
the foot announced for Saturday in that village
says that it came of at Brookvie Centre instead,
owing TO better adaptation of the gr1cud, and
aids " An admittanee fee of 10 cents will be
charged which will entitle the bearer TO as good a
sight as he get of the race, as we'll as sill the
fights that occur inside the fence Outside fights
will Of course be free"
Unlike the foot races which occur in this locality
The foot races we'll the fights that take place
inside and outside the fence, are all free. To fast
the general practice is TO take the public streets for
such exhibitions, where the young and the old, the
ait and the blini (!l can be eye-witnesses to the
mertO'icus (') performances
Pay for Your Paper.-Too many are apt to
think that it matters but little whether the newspa-
per is paid for promptly not that it is su h q
small sum, and is Of but little consequence An ex
change makes the following sensible remarks in re-
lation 10 the matter IL speaks the sentiments of
the Iress generally when it says Unless the cash
system is xcusiyely adopted and rigiiIy observed
we know Of no business whose bills difficult to
collect This is not besause the subscribers are un-
willing to pay, hat it is principally owing to neglect
Each gines that because his years indebt-
ed ness amounts to so small a The printer cannot
be much in want of it. without for moment think
ing that the fruits Of his business are male up of
exactly such little sums and that the aggregate of
all subscriptions is by means inconsiderable
amount of money, and without which the publishers
could not continue TO issue their paper"
