SHvERELY AND SERIOUSLY BURNED
About 10 o'clock last evening Mr.. A. Z.

cooking of oysters, and was turning
away with it, whru accidentally hitting
his elbow, the flaming fluid was thrown
directly across his brcastand shoulders,
the scorchiug flames blazing up in his
face in the most torturing manner So
completely were the byStanders par
alyzed By the fearful sight that n was
nearly n minute before the blaze was
Quenched. In his. ~agonizcd efforts to
brush. tile fire from his face with his
hands, he rubbed The cooked skin from
his cheeks so ,hati it hung in strips from
his chin. DR.. Bronson being sent for
promptly came aud did all in his power
to allay the pain. He was in u very
precarious state last night, owing, it
was thought, to having inhaled SOM" OF
the fame, but he was reported better

comedian will p]erSonate the leading
character in each piece, and an unriral-
lei entertainment will he given of Il par
,iculnrly pleasing nature, such as can
not fail to draw u crowded house. Sc
cure good seats in time.

The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-01-29
The Grain Trade and the Northwest.

To the Editor Of the New Orleans Crescent;
Not one in hundred even among our business
men, appreciates or can comprehend the msgni-
tude of the grain trade. that will soon pass our
wharf Without single effort on the part Oh any
citizen of New Orleans, there has already been
opened fair business. and in few months hun-
dreds Of ships viii be required TO carry away this
tonnage. The two floating elevators which have
been brought here are capable of transferring
FIVE thousand bushels per hour, and when perma-
nent elevators. with sufficient storage room are
constructed, the grain bought and sold on our
Change will equal that of Chicago. Not only
do we have fifteen thousand miles OF rivers per-
mesting our great valley. but the system of rail-
roads completed, and being completed, will soon
place us in direct and speedy communication with
every part of the Northwest. The Illinois Cen
trail railroad which terminates now at Cairo, with
water navigation with port for the whole year,
will soon be joined to our roads at Columbus.
From Cairo this railroad runs northward for
three hundred miles, with two branches, one join
ing the grand railway system at Chicago,
the other bearing away nortwestwsrdly,
crosses the Mississippi river, again branches. and
reaches far away to the Missouri river at Sioux
City, and to the Red River Of the North. This
road is now prepared to handle the grain brought
by five hundred cars per day; and as each car
carries 500 bushels OF grain, this road will soon
send 900 bushels Of grain per day, or an
average Of one million bushels per week, or
thirty FIVE millions Of bushels during the shipping
season. Now, when we remember that this Is
but one railroad, the enterprising managers OF
which are determined TO build up this as well as
a return trade, whether New Orleans helps them
or not, we can form faint idea Of the magnitude
of the trade when other roads are completed, aud
the steamboats, and barges gather the crops from
the river counties. This grain is independent Of
the other products from grain-hOur, whisky,
pork, etc.-so that the country north OF the
mouth Of the Ohio will hereafter send more than
two millions Of tons of freight to market by the
way of New Dreams, and this will require the
tonnage Of six millions of bales Of cotton, or
double the tonnage of our palmiest days. This is
no fancy sketch; and it behOOves our people to
offer every facility and make every effort to ex-
pedite the coming of this magnificent commerce.
