TERRIBLE AccIDENT.-The Alta of Friday
says that Mary Ellen Lane, aged fourteen
years, whose parents reside at No. 152 Te-
mama street. met with shocking accident at
her home yesterday morning about O'Clock.
ohe went into the kitchen to build fire, and
after lighting the kndling, she took can,
which was partially filled with kerosene oil,
and poured some of the oil upon the wood.
as she had frequently done before, to make
1t kindle quicker. The child had 60 sooner
touched the burning emhers than the flame
shot up the stream into the can, which ex-
ploded with terrible force. scattering the fluid
IN every direction, completely saturating the
clothing of the girl. In moment she was
enveloped in flames, and her piercing cries of
torture as she flew out of the doors for help,
were heartrending, and brought the neigh
bors and passers-by to her assistance. Blank
cts were hastily procured and wrapped
around her. and the flames were finally extn-
guished. She was then taken into the house.
when it found, although the flames had
been put out, yet her clothing had been so
saturated with the oil that the fire still crack
led and burned deeper and deeper into her
flesh. The girls clothing was torn off as
rapidly as possible, but with it came the skin
in great patches, showing at glance that
the flames had produced results which would
undoubtedly prove fatal. The scene of suf.
fering and anguish was enough to make ones
blood run cold, and many turned from the
scene unable to witness it. Last evening she
was very low, and her physician thought she
cuuld not live. at the most not more than a
few hours. She is said to have inhaled the
flames; and even if she had not, the shock to
the nervous system is so great that it is prob
able she could not recover from it. The
girls real name is Mary Ellen Ray. Her
father died some years since, and her mother
is now married to Mr.. Lane, driver OH one
of the Omnibus Railroad cars.
The girl died on the following day.

REcovERING-Jerry Moody, the pioneer
hunter, is slowing recovering from the wounds
he received in his recent scrimmage with a
bear, near Round Mountain. He gives this
account of the affair: He and an Indian
heard hog making unusual noise in a
pen near the house in which they were stop
ping and took up their guns and started out
to see what was the matter. On reaching
the pen bear was discovered fighting the
hogs, when the Indian quickly fred and
distress. Moody dropped his gun or hearing
the howl, and commenced climbing a tree,
while the Indian took to his heels At that
moment huge she bear rushed out of
thicket, and maddened by the cry of her
wounded cub, sprang up the body of the tree
which Moody had climbed about ten feet,
and seized him by the leg and pulled him to
the ground. Knowing that his life depended
upon keeping perfectly still, he feigned
death, and the bear. after striking him blow
or two with her enormous paws, left him.
After laying still for few minutes he jump
ed up and started to run, but the bear,
which was watching at a distance, gave a
loud snort and came laundering after him.
On overtaking him, the bear seized him
around the waist with her fore legs, and tax
ing his arm in her mouth, crushed the bone
between her teeth. Although suffering ex-
crutiating agency he feigned death again.
and took care to keep still until the Indian
came in search of him, when be was assisted
home and physician sent for, who dressed
his wounds. Moody avows his intention to
get even with the . varmints" when he re-
covers, but thinks he will play strategy on
them hereafter

Poor IMITATION Having witnessed the
success of the Soldiers and Sailors Conveu-
ton, at Chicago, when Grant was nominated,
the Democratic managers have attempted to
get up a rival Convention at New York, as
a tender to their National Convention, but
the affair was poor imitation of the Chicago
assemblage. Reference to the Army Regis
ter reveals the fact that two-thirds of the
eighteen signers of the call for the Demo-
cratic Soldiers Convention either held no
commission during the late war, were not in
active service, or were cashiered for miscon-
duct. The composition of the Convention
shows it to be made up principally of those
who failed or were disappointed in achieving
fame during the war. The rebellion was
suppressed without much assistance from this
class of soldiers

BEAR CHAsE.-A few day ago bear passed

took refuge in thicket, and after holding a

to retire fromi that locality, which they did

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONFERENCE.-The
Democratic National Convention assembled
at New York pursuant to call, elected Ho-
ratio Seymour as President. adopted plat
form and the two-thirds rule, and proceeded
to ballot for candidate for President. Han
cock, English, Pendleton, Doolittle and
Johnson were placed in nomination, and on
the first ballot Pendleton received the high
est number of votes, 2l2 being necessary to
a choice. On the 2lst ballot Horatio Sey.
mour, of New York, was nominated for
President. General Francis P. Blair was
then nominated for Vice President.
The workings of the Convention showed
very plainly that Belmont, Seymour & Co.
had previously set the wires so as to effect.
ually control the nominations and slaughter
Pendleton. Even after Pendleton's defeat
his friends were evidently not allowed to
choose the candidate for Vice President.
Pendleton went into the Convention with
more real strength than any other candidate,
but by the arbitrary rulings of the presiding
othcer, and the exercise of that peculiar
strategy for which New York demagogues
are so celebrated, his nomination was de-
feated.
On the reception of the news of the nomi
