BURNED TO DEATH. .-Ir the 4 paldnche,
OF few weeks since, mention waa made
OF The troubles Of Mr.. and Mrs. Mike
Clarity, Of Chelsea, together with the
happy result of Squire Nliller's interBo-
sition as mediator in the family quar-
rel. Keeping small grocery directly
opposite tho brick church, they made q
good living, and, beyond their frequent
family quarrels, were good neighbors.
Since Squire Miller's mediation thew
have been getting along unusually we'll
together, and it was hoped BY their
neighbors that tho Garritys had conclud-
ed to dwell together in peace and unison.
1t was merely the lull however, which
often-times prccedes the storm, for
Thursday evening, about 8 o'clock q
terrible quarrel broke out between them.
They were at the time in the grocery-a
small one as has been stated, which was
lighted up with an Oil lamp suspended
from the ceiling. After qunrreling for a
time, Mrs. Garrity became highly in.
censed at some remark, aud snatching
up pop bottle from box near by,
drew it np-in very violent manner.
over her head as il to strike Mike. She
was at the time standing directly under
meath the lamp, and in raising tie bottle
she strnck the lamp, breaking it into
Fragments. It was ut the time full of
oil, which, igniting, poured down over
her unprotected head sheet OF flame,
setting fire to her hair and clothing
Her husband, with ono or two by-stand-
ers, rushed to her assistance, but having
no blankets or anything with which to
smother the flames ut hand, could do
nothing except to tear the clothing of
her. When the FIRE was finely eytin-
gnished, she was found TO be burnt in q
most horrible manner. The entire cuti-
Gle of her face and body was burnt TO n
crisp, and as she writhed on the floor in
agony, she presented frightfnl sight.
During the entire timo she gave heart
rending screams, which continued until
ahe became SO weak that only low moans
could be heard. a physician was ut
oncs summoned, anu every thug possible
done to alleviate the suiferings Of the
dying woman. having incoherently all
the while, it was relief to all when
death came, about o'clock, yesterday
morning, Mrs. Garrity, who was about
thirty years OF age, is said to have boen
quite handsome. Two little children
are left to mourn her aad fate, which is
also universally deplored by the entire
neighborhood, who, despite her many
faults, held her in esteem.

SoUTHERNEEs IN New YoRK.-Thc de-
balls OF the census, which, after consid-
erabfe delay, have at last made their up
Pearance, dissipnte the generally re-
ceived impression that the number of
Southerners residing in the city Of New
Bork has been materially increased since
the close Of the civil war. According
TO the figures of the censuses of 1860
and 1870. the citizens of Southern birth
who resided in the city in June on each
Of those years were as follows: 1860
white 5.3l7; colored 1879. 870-white
5.768; colored 2. 1892 From these figures
it appears that while the city is entirely
indebted to the South for the increase
ia the last ten years, Of little over 500
70 her colored population, she had in
1870 only 45l more Southern born
Whites than she lad in 1860; while her
total native population Increased in the
same period 3,2f6. aud her total foreign
born population increased 33,377. The
total increase of her colored population
Mt the same time was 5l9, while there
wero SOB moro Southern born colorel
persons in the city in 1870 than ia 1860,
showing that that population Of other
nAtivities had actually decreased seventy
fUur in tho decade. These figures ore
instructive. showing as they do how few
Southerners have deserted their-;homes
for the allnrements of the metropolis,
thsir increase in the white population
