Horrible Death of n Lady 1n
North mississippi by a Coal
Oil Explosion.
From the Senatobia Times

From a letter of a lady we gather the fol-
lowing particulars of the death of Mrs.
ChambIis, wife of Taylor Chambliss, ESQ.,
who lived some eight or ten miles north
east of this place:
IL seems that Mrs. Chambliss had pre-
sentiment of her approaching dissolution,
and so expressed herself to her husband for
some time past. On the day of the terrible
occurrence Mrs. Chamblis went TO the field
where her husband was plowmg ana told
him that she felt her end was near at hand.
ana that she should soon die; her husband
finally prevailed upon her to return TO the
house. promising her he would soon be
there and make a fire to get supper. she
left, and in a short time MIR. Chamolls heard
most horrid screams at the house, ard he
Immediately came, with all haste, and inn
aoine his horror at finding his wife In the
ward one live burning blaze of fire; upon
the poor woman's seeing her husband she
ran clasped her arms around him, ana IL
was with difficulty that he extricated him
SELF then taking his hat he endeavored TO
arrest the fire that was consuming her flesh,
but finding the hat did no good he got green
bushes and succeeded in putting the fire out.
The horrid screams of the poor woman had
bv this time brought several neigh6ors to
the scene. Ply sicians were Immediately
sent for: and i'm the meantime everything
that kind friends cosld do was done 70 allie
viate her suffering, until the arrival OF three
musicians, who after examination found lt
impossible to do any thing for her, except to
administer opiateS. She suffered the most
excrusiating agonies, continually calling
for water and imploring for relief. Before
her death she was rational enough to tell
how she caught fire. 1t was by pouring
coal oil on the fire, to make It burn more
readily. when the blaze ignited the can and
il burst catching her clothes, and burning
her in a most horrid manner. She died at
three O'Clock that night. Providence, it
1t seems, must have saved the house, as moth
ing but a little kindling took fire and did no
damage.
| Mrs. ChambliS was quite young and a
! beautiful woman, and was in fine health
| She was a devout and good Christian. and
| Notwithstanding the agonies she suffered
entreating others TO be prepared and keep
| their clamps trimmed and burning"

what transpired, but absence and other en-

perhaps more largely attended than any that
has yet been held in the State, and the most
casual observer could not put be impressed
with the fact that the denomination is not
only increasing numerically, but is growing
in strength and zeal in the Masters work
About four thousand dollars was subscribed
to the various Boards to which the
Convention contributes annually. 1.-THE
interest manifested in behalf of Mississippi
College was of peculiarly Interesting char
acter. That institution has deservedly a
strong and substantial hold on the affections
of the denomination. The Baptist Conven-

means and patronage on Mississippi Col

Col. w. 7. WrTHERs, for many wears
one Of our leading citizens, removed. with
his family, last week, to Lexington, Ky
where they will in future reside. We re-
GREETED the Colonefs determination to leave
Mississippi, where he has host of friends
admirers and clients. During his long res
idence in the State he has enjoyed opulenee
and endured adversely. Possessed of annie
wealth before the war, he was not only one
of the heaviest sufferers, pecuniarily. but
gave his time and valuable services to the
cause Of the State and the South during the
great conflict. His talents, his profession.
and his public spirit are proof against the
vagaries of tickle fortune, and we are glad TO
know are commanding for him her sunniest
smiles. Col. Withers is a native of Keutue-
ky, and his ''old Kentucky home" was al
ways to him delightful theme. He was
volunteer from that State in the Mexican
war, and IN one of the battles received a
wound which still affects his health. We
trust that he may yet see his way clear to
return to Mississippi He has certainly left
a large. successful and lucrative practice as
amember Of the law firm of Harris q With
ers.

All who have the welfare of the city at heart
are more than satisfied by its growth and pros
perity. Do they feel tempted to kill the goose
that has laid the golden egg and render their
city a mere stopping place for wood and water;
and that, out of reach of all convenient
access2 The effect upon individual
interests as a motive for action is unworthy
of consideration; but the general good, will
that be promoted by removing the various rail
way depotS now located in different parts of the
city, and forming each the centre of a healthy
business growth over the length and breadth of
our limits, to a locality remote from so much of
our business and industry. In 1869 a petition
was presented to the legislature by the Boston
and Albany corporation for authority to dis
continue such portion of their track as extends
from the Foster street depot to Washington
square, and this petition called out a memorial
protesting against such course, for the follow
ing reasons, which are pertinent now as then,
and received the endorsement of q great num-
Der of citizens Firstly, the abandonment of
the track and depot will be injurious to the city
of Worcester. 1t will ncommode the citizens
of Worcester by obliging them TO travel
a much greater distance than at present from
their homes to the cars, and the removal of the
depot will incommode the people of
large number of the towns in the coun-
ty Of Worcester by increasing very considerably
the distance they now have TO travel to the
court houses and public offices in Worcester.
Secondly, the abandonment of the track and
the depot proposed, should not be effected for
the reason that when the Hoosac tunnel shall
be completed, railroad can easily be construct
ed from Worcester TO the tunnel with lesser
grades than those of the Boston and Albany
road, which would not only be great saving
of expense to the people Of Worcester and the
region around it, but would afford an easier and
cheaper communication with the west for Wor.
cester and the country connected with it
Thirdly, the abandoument'of the section of this
railroad with its depOtas prayedfor by ecorpor
alton that came into possession of it, is under
stood to be only preliminary TO an attempt TO
bring all railroads that run through or termin-
ate in Worcester into one common depot.
For the reasons mentioned above, and as a
means of preserving the independence of the
different railroads centering in our midst, as
well as to retain thereby for our city a control
over its avenues of travel and business, we shall
counsel support to the able remonstrance now
presented for signatures against a proposition
which will etfectually place out of their own
control (and within that of single corporation),
all the lines of railway leading from our city.
