State debt and all the accumulated interst.
to the Radical spectators In this State, who
have bought up the bonds. This debt now
amounts to twenty million dollars, or just
about twenty dollars on each man, woman

morning or fhe 18th inst., from setting fire to
her own clothes when in fit Of, mental aeran ge-
ment. The Matysville appeal learns the follow
ing particulars: 1--WE are informed that the de-
ceased, who was over sixty years of age, was sub
ject to Hts of partial insanity, but on the day
before her death she was quite we'll, and retired
in the evening at the usual hour with her dau gh-
ters, who, it we are OF mistaken, occupied the
same room, During the night one of the dau gh-
ters inquired how she felt, and was answered that
che was quite we'll. 1t is presumed that the de-
ceased got up soon after this call and very eau
Iiously put on her clothes all but her shoes,
Which she lett Off 30 as to avoid disturbing her
daughters. After dressing, the unfortunate lady
proceeded about eighty yards from the house,
where she applied the torch to her own person,
and soon alter perished. The appearance OF the
ground where the unfortunate lady was found in
dicated that there was q struggle before death.
The presumption is that as soon as she began to
burn her senses returned. aud that she then Ia
bored to extinguish the ,mes The appearance
of the eai tn near the body indicated that she fell
and rolled upon the carth-perhaps wit the idea
of smothcring the burning garments. The de-
ceased leaves an aged husband, two daughters
and son." S hlaH
