SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION "A little boy,
son Of Mr.. Webb OF Marengo, Illinois, fell
backward into a boiler Of hot water and Sc
verely scaldod his shoulders. Some kind Of
oil was applied and the little sufferer placed
in bed. shortly altorward another oil was
rubbed on his shoulders over the hrst. The
little fellow soon screamed piteously, and
smoke was observed arising from the bed
An examination resulted lie the discovery that
the sheets were on FIRE ami that the boys
back was literally roasted. Indeed, 20 severe
were his injuries, that be died in few hours.
Physicians who were called gave the opinion
that mixed oils applied to the first burn had
produced a spontaneous combustion, which
had ignited the sheets.

Tt has been discovered that we have
the means of fastening. a quarrel on the
island of st. Domingo, which will enable
us TO seize the Bay of SamaGia, aud thus
obtain foothold in the West Indies
without the trouble of paying for it.
The National Inteliigencer strongly
urges this mode of proceeding upon the
Government, as at once cheaper and
more becoming the dignity oil the nation
Until this question is settled, is held, we
cannot possibly bny anything from st.
Domingo, or have friendly dealings of
any kind with it's Government. 1t
seems the Dominicans, five or six years
ago drove of some Americans from an
island near there of which they had taken
possession, BY seizing what we want
now, under preteXt of of redress for this
Insult, wtsean save great deal of money
and settle the question of buying ST.
Thomas. The plot is not a bad one-aS
plots go.
