HORRIBLE DEATn-h LITTLE GIRL
SUFFoCATED IN A VAULT.-We c.lron-
icle this morning one of the most dis
tressing accidents, resulting in death,
that has happened IN this city for a
month past, and the mere mention of
which causes all involuntary shudder.
Death in any form, to a young and inno
cent child, Is sad enough affiiction, but
when caused in such Il shocking manner
it casts gloom over loving hearts that a
life time cannot eradicate. The partic-
ulars of the accident in question are as
follows: about fiye O'Clock yeeseriay af-
ternoon little girl between two and
three years of age, the daughter of Mr..
Sterling, drayman, Of this city, who re-
sides on South Hill near the upper end
of Division Street, went out into the
yard to play. Its mother did not notice
its absence Immediately, but, after
lapse Of few moments, not hearing any
noise indicating its presence, went to
the door to look for it. Not seeing it in
the yard, she searched for it among the
neighors, but not finding the child there
she became thoroughly alarmed, and,
assisted by others, all possible hiding
places in the vicinity were searched.
Once or twice the vault in neighbors
yard had,been looked into, but nothing
was to be seen. No traces being found
elsewhere, another was given into the
rault, when, to the horror of all, the
body of the little girl was discovered
nearly submerged in the vault of accre-
.tions.
Speedily rs possible it was removed,
but life was found to be totally extinct.
The grief of its parents none can de-
scribe. The only theory as to the acci-
dent is that the child went into the
vault to play, and, clambering on the
seat, fell through, TO die the horrible
death of suffocation, its struggling
screams for help heard by none. Coro-
ner Weider held an inquest on the body
soon after the event, and returned ver-
dict in accordance with the above fact
Burlington Haarkeye.
ANOTHER DANGER FOR CATTLE.-Th
Austrian journals state that swarms of
poisonous flies have mmle their appear
ance in Pennsylvania, and that many
head of cattle have perished. The farm
ers are compelled to keep their beasts
shut up, and large fires are burning
night and day around the sheds to keep
off this unwelcome visitation. During
one day when rain fsll copiously they
disappeared, but as soon as the wether
became fine again they reappeared
The men in charge of the fires have
the greatest difficulty in preserving
themselves from their yenomous attacks
and find tobacco the best preseryativc.
Messrs Boutwell,, Williams, Lawrence
and Thomas are for the Presidents inn
peachment, and are making their re-
port to that point. IT will be about fif-
teen columns long, and sets out by reci-
ting the charges upon which they be-
lieve he can be convicted. This is fol-
lowed by copious extracts from the .es-
timony which has been taken to substan-
tate those charges. It's their intention
to submit this report with the testimony
and at the same time Senator Wilson
will offer resolution of censure upon
the President. Eldredge and Marshall
have not as yet prepared any report, but
will probably content themselves with
awaiting chance to make an onslaught
upon the reports Of the two wings Of the
Republicans.
The Idaho Statesman is not excited
about the Indians. IT says: "In Idaho
we have learned to take the doings of
the Indians as South Americans do
earthquakes-as matter of course;
something that cannot be averted, and
to be met with Christian resignation
and fortitudc."
