TERRIBLE ACClDEST-On Saturday
night, about twelve 0 clock, a girl whose
name we could not learn, residing at
Mr.. ForTs, on Chapline street, Centre
Wheeling, was trightfully burned by
her clothes taking fire. She was stand
ing near a CRATE endeavorins to reach
something on the mantel piece, when IN
some manner the flames were COM
municated 10 her dress. 4 gentleman
who was in the room at the time I'M
medately rushed to her assistance, but
before he could cxtinguish the flames,
her clothes were nearly burned from
her body. DR.. Cummins, who attended
the lady, thinks that there is little hope
of her recovery, unless reaction takes
place soon, she being sensible, but en-
tirelv unconscious o. pain.

Rich For q Moment.

The following anccdo,e was recently
published 10 an English magazine
1t appears that the ship "Briitan-
MIA" which struck on the rocks of
the coast of Brasil, had on board a
large quantity Of Spanish dollars Us
freight. They were packed in barrels
and as soon as the saip struck, nun.
Der of these barrels were brought on
deck, in tho hope that some Of them
might b. saved; but soon it was dis
covered that the vessel was sinking
so very fast, that tho only hope for
the crew was in taking at onco to the
boats. The last boat was about to
push of, whom . midshipmau rushed
back to see if any ono was still on
board. To bis surprise, there sat a
man on dock with hatchet in his
hand, with which he had broken open
several Of the. casks, the contents OF
which he was now bcaping up about
him. ,...

the midshipmau, looking back at hiu
