The Fatal Good.Night.

A dispatch TO the Louisville Ledger
gives the following details of the affect.
ing tragedy at Frankfort, Ky, Wednes.
day night:
About halfpast eight o'clock, while
Mrs Berry was reading, her little dsugh-
ter, Annie Watson, nearly nine years Of
age, came in the room to say her prayers
and kiss her ma good night. While in
the act of throwing her arms around her
mothers neck, her hand struck against
an oil lamp, upsetting and causing it to
explode. Mr.. Berry, who was in the adj
joining room, hearing the noise caused
by the explosion, ran in and found Mrs.
Berry enwrapped in flames. He sue
eeeded in putting out the Ere, but not
until she was severely though not seri-
ously burned. NJ.
Mr.. Berry did not know that little
Annie was burned until he heard her
cries in the back yard, entreating one OF
the servants to save her. She was burn
ing TO death. Mr.. Berry ran to her res
cue, but it was too late, as she was so
badly burned that she died in about three
hours after the accident happened. Mr..
Berry had his hands ana arms badly
burned

From the Loveland Speech.l
did not know Mr.. Vallandigham so
long, perhaps, as many of you, but
knew him very well. During his whole
service in Congress | was his colleague.
During the eventful sessions of lS6l-2-3,
/ was his daily associate and intimate
friend During the days of his arrest
and tria! and imprisonment | saw him
at every hour that it was possible, and
did what could to mitigate the pains
which an infamous tyranny inflicted.
In those times of anxiety and care and
suffering, ] never heard from his lips
one word inconsistent with the loftiest
patriotism, the most unaltering hope,
and the most unblenching courage. You
know he was able and eloquent, and
self.reliant and studious; that he had
great strength of will and force of char
acter, and that magnetism which at
tracted and attached men closely to
him. He was also cool and deliberate
and patient. Beyond most men ! have
known, he was sensitive to attack upon
the purity of his motives and character.
have seen him wounded to the quick
his heart lacerated until it seemed sore
to the touch, and bleeding his life away
by the vindictive, savage abuse so
unsparingly heaped upon him during the
war. Never were attacks more unjust
and infamous. No man loved his
country more intensely, and sought Tor
the wisest policy more consclentiousiy,o or
would have sacrificed more readily or
more abundantly health, and strength,
and fortune, and even prejudices and
preconceived opinions, to secure its wei
fare. He would have been war man u
he could have believed that war would
restore the Union. He would have been
devoted supporter Of the Republican
party, if he could have believed its policy
would have maintained the guarantees
of liberty afforded by the Constitution.
AS he could not believe this, he would
not swerve from the convictions OF the
faith that was in him, even though
his heart should bleed and break at the
blind misconstruction of his character,
and the willful perversion OF his words
and aspersion of his motives. l thank
God he lived long enough to see that
time-the Ayenger, in whom he had
such unwavering faith-had commenced
his work; and that many who had ma
ligned him most were beginning to see
their error and do him justice. =.
| thank God that at the last the sun
penetrated the darkness of the night,
and that his eye saw, even though only
for moment, the mists of morning dis
solving before its radiant beams. And il
il be given to men who have gone hence
TO care for, or to know the estimation.i in
which they are held on earth, know his
spirit will be gladdened by the fact that
all his countrymen, without dissent, will
believe that he was as pure as he was
able, rs honest as he was braye, and as
faithful as he was prosecuted.

SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1871

upon learning the object of Father Nu-
gents journey, he requested that some
worthy young foreign maiden Of suitable
household abilities should be sent
to him as wife. The request be-
ing made in perfect good faith, the
chaplain promised to honor it if he
could; and accordingly, among score
Of blooming Irish lassies now on their
way from Liverpool to the places pro-
vided for them, is one who comes to wed
wooer known to her by photograph
and letter only. She is an orphan from
the north Of Ireland, who, since the
death Of her parents, has earned an
average income of about six shillings a
week by the hardest kind of drudgery
in the work-room of large drapery es-
tablishment in the English seaport. 1t
is by the advice of Mr.. Nugent that she
accepts the novel destiny offered her in
Oregon; and, as she is industrious, good
looking and virtuous, there can be little
doubt that the Western agricultural
bachelor is a most fortunate one.

curious EIeetricaI Phenomena.

The following is published in the AL
bany IN. ~ Argus, and is vouched for
by parties who were present at the time:
On the 28th Of July, about half-past
eight o clock in the evening, the family
of John Sanderson, of Schodack Land
ing, were thrown into terrible state oI
excitement by a thunderbolt shock o.
electricity which passed down the stove
pipe, bursting out at each side, severing
the iron, exploding within two feet OF
Mr.. Sanderson, thence passing between
himself and wife, who was sitting nurs-
ing her youngest child, throwing her for
ward some distance, she still embracing
the infant. The electricity struck on
each side of closed door, passed over
the family, consisting of eight children,
in that room, splitting a three by four
inch 'joist, plowing up the ground four
feet at the extremity, leaving a hole in
the ground. The light was extinguished
total darkness succeeded the brilliant
and many-colored flashes, leaving a
strong sulphurous smell and smoke be-
hind. The screams of the family we're
appalling, Upon light being procured,
Mr.. Sanderson naturally expected to
see some of his family in the arms of
death. The three eldest daughters, who
we're in the room above, Immediately
rushed down, when it was perceived that
one of them shook as though under the
effects of strong galvanic shock, tremb-
ling from head TO foot Upon Mrs San
derson taking hold of her, the electricity
seemed to pass to the mother, leaving
her paralyzed down the left side, from
the effects of which she has not yet en-
tirely recovered.

A tour Of the American Union and
Canada was recently made, says the
New York World, by the Rev. James
Nugent, a chaplain in the Liverpool
borough jail, who, moved to a noble
sympathy by the poorly requited toll Of
many Irish girls Of the better class, con
ceived and executed the idea of coming
across the ocean himself, and procuring
more comfortable homes and more re-
muneralive employment for q certain
number Of such especially deserving
young women, preparatory TO sending
them hither. In Indiana, Illinois, and
some parts Of Canada, he found good
places in American families for about
twenty of his self-assumed charges; and
from an honest bachelor farmer in Ore
gon accepted a particularly delicate
commission. The farmer in question
lives in a part of the State where there
are scarcely any unmarried women, and
