The Trials Of Editors.

We make the following extract
from an address recently delivered
before the Iowa Press Associa-
tion" Oil this subject
In speaking OF the revenue of
the press. l cannot refrain from
expressing my views on the SUBJ
ject of free advertisements. There
Is always to be found in every
considerable community, set OF
men who imagine by some dispen-
sation, they ought not, like other
mortals, to pay for what they re"
ceive. Editors have extraordina-
ry facilities tor making their ac-
quaintance, AMI are very kindly
pc, mlttsd 10 contribute gifts to
their support. In what other
branch OF business would this be
tolerated? Allowing that one
mas put the press under some OBJ
legation, does ''e not generally eX'
pect to get back more than the
worth OF his services?
Tia man does an editor q favor
OF a remarkable value, let him
have his remuneration, cash.
On the other hand require him
to pay for what tho paper has
done tor him. 1t is as reasonable
to expect the carpenter to shlnsle
your house and the tailor to make
your clothes without charge, as to
prepare and publish matter for
another's benefit without compen'
sa.ion. Long obituaries, cards
advancing personal interests
come under this class OF adj
verlisements. This custom OF
yratuitous notices and adver-
1isements from any quarter
ought to cease, for the simple rea'
son that it would be u benefit Ia
the EDITORS pockets, and would in
some degree abate an almost In
toIcratle nuisance. The editors

Terrible Accident--A Young
Lady Blunt to+Death. = ...

The Wilmington Del:1 cm.
mercial records the following dis
tressing accident, which occurred
in that city on Wednesday night: :.
A young lady named Laura
Carswell. a teacher in one Of our
public schools, who resided with
her father at No. Ills, Market
street, was the victim Of the &C.
cidcnt. She was retiring about
balf:psst ten, and was all ready. to.
get into he'd, when she turned TO-
y coal oil lamp, it is supposed, and
attempted to extinguish the light
by blowing down the chimney.
The fame was thus blown down
into the oil and the lamp explo-
ded, throwing the blazing oil over
Miss Carswell's night dress, and
the clothing she hau just taken of
lying near. Enveloped in flames,
she ran screaming into the entry
communicating with her room,
wbe e her father Immediately af.
terwards found her. He made
every effort 10 extinguish the
flames, and q brother Of the young
Iady's tore up a piece Of step-car.
pet and threw it over her head.
This saved her head from burning,
but her whole person, from her
neck down, was horribly burned
before the flames could be extin..
gui>hed. BY this time, Miss Cars
wells room was on fire, and it re-
quired the efforts of he family to
save the house from destruction.
Mir. Carswell, in his attempt to
save his daughter, had his hands
badly burned, alLthe fin ger nails
being turned offone hand and the
other 10 much injured that twill
be a long time before he can again
use j., if indeed he. ever can. = '..'
Medical all was Immediately
summoned to dress the wounds
and alleviate the sufferings Of the
poor girl. but the physicians pro-
nounced her case hopeless one
from the first. She fingered on
from the time Of the accident un-
til 10 o'clock next morning, when
death put an end to her suffer-
ings. During a great part of the
time she lived after the accident
she was entirely unconscious, and
was doubtless thus saved from
much of the anguish she would
otherwise have suffered. Her
body and hands were most severe
ly burned, and her person, except
her head and feet, was one mass Of
searched flesh. ~, ..@'-. ::..;. &
