We repeat, in substance, what we have
already said about Mimic, viz: That he re-
signed his seat in the Legislature, thus
breaking up the quorum, and placing it be,

SHOCKING AccIBESF CHILD BURNED TO
Dr,-r-On last Satthy afternoon, while
4ha children of Mr.. kes Parker. of this
city. xessaIazinE nla IRE EhIsh taeS-s'.stsi-
-.r.GdIed in the yard. listlo Wary, aged about
s years, went To near the blaze and her
dress caught FIRE. The ehildren screamed,
and Mrs. Parker rushed out of the house and
to the rescue of the child, and attempted to
smother the flames by wrapping her own
dress about the form Of the girl. She sue
ceeded, after the flames had. communicated
themselves TO her own apparel, in subduing
the fire about little S1ary; and but for the
assistance of some men who had rushed 10
the scene. she would doubtless have perish
ed a sacrifice for her child. But, her sacri-
fee was of no avail, except to prolong the
suferines of her little one for few short
hours, for on last Monday morning, about
3 O'Clock, the spirit of little Mary was call
ed to the bosom of him who said, "suiEer
little Children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for Of such IS the kingdom Of
Heaven" The heroic mother had the
thamb and forefnger Of her right hand alb
soluteIy cooked to the bone, and it is feared
they will have to be amputated. Little Ma
~ is said to have been an exceedingly bright
and promising child, combining genticness
and meekness of disposition with shrewd-
ness of intellect, and her distressing death
is a deep and painful blow to the parents and
friends.
-RUxAWAT.-Last Sabbath afternoon, as
Mr. Leo Fox, of this city, in company with
cOuble of ladies, was enjoying the Baiubri-
ty of the day by buggy the horses be-
came frightened and unmanageable, and
sailed through the principal streets Of our
city at break-neck speed. Dir. Fox held
firmly to the strings until near Mr. Cher
ry's foundry when, in making quick turn
at the corner of the street, the vehicle upset
and preeipitated the whole party in one het-
erogeneous mass upon the bosom of "Moth-
er Earth" Fortunately the ladies were un-
hurt, but Mr.. Fox had his "frontis- piece"
considerably bruised by too sudden colli-
sion with the hard ground. We are glad to
to state that his injuries are not serious, and
that he will be sound in a few days. The
horses broke loose from the vehicle when it
upset, but were caught after running a short
distance further on. The buggy was only
injured slightly.
SPECIAL MEETISG.-At the called meeting
of Albany Fire Company, on last Saturday
night, it was decided to purchase the lot Of
Mr.. I. Mercier, on Second street, south side,
between Ferry and Broadalbin streets, and
proceed to erect a suitable Engine House
thereon. A building committee was ap-
pointed, whose duty it is to make the pur.
