A terrible accident occurred at or near Ell
more last Monday afternoon, which has cast
a gloom over that eemnuhity, and heaped
unutterable sorrow upon a1amily, The full
details of the heart.rendipg calamity have
not reached us, but ths following account is
substantially correct:
On Monday afternoon Mr.. JOSEPH ANNEs-
san 1eft his home to go to neighbor's for the
purpose Of grinding an axe. While he was
gone his wife also left home, leaving two
small cbildren-Only Is months and two and
a half years old-alone 10 the house. How
long the parents sere away we have not
heard, but during their absence the house
caught fire, and on the fathers return it was
nearly burned 10 the ground and both Of his
lifile ones had perished in the f1a,nesi Through
the pickering light of the fire, the body of
\ one of the children was visible : the other
was entirely consumed. 4 er
No language can describe the grief of
the parents. They have the warmest sym
pathy of the entire community.
Our Elmore correspondent Mr.. WILSON,
has given us no further particulars than the
above, ii. s-. -t-u, ....-.
Botefur Endorsed.-On Monday even
ing last a. Democratic meeting was held al
the VIM. Tell House, in the Third Ward,
which was called by Mr.. BOrEFUR for the
purpose of having the Democracy of that
Ward endorse his course as member of
the City Council. The meeting wss organ
lied by calling JonN NJ. SIXTH, Esq, to the
chair. About seventy five or hundred
| persons were present The chairman stated
that he knew nothing of the object of the
meeting, aud would be thankful if some
gentleman would state it. Thereupon Mr..
BoTEFUR said that the meeting had been
! called to--ah---yes-to--more thoroughly or
ganize the party. The chairman couldn't
see the particular necessity of such action at
this time of year. Mr.. BorEFUR then add
ed, that it might be we'll enough, also, to
talk over the matter Of selecting candidates
for School Directors. This the chairman
ruled out Of order; meeting of the De-
mocracy of the whole city had been called
for that purpose on another evening, and
that was sufficient. Was any other business
before the meeting? Here Mr. GEORGE
MYERs (after deal Of hard winking from
BoTEFuR) maze his way to the chairman's
stand, aud giving him roll of paper, said
there were some resolutions which he would
! like to have read Mr.. BoTEFUR also called
