A Little Girl Drops a Match in Il Can Of
Coal Oil ITO See IT Explode
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

from the LlulhNlllt AOufltT-JOurlaI.
Miss Sites, girl about twelve years
old, met with an accident yesterday
evening which will main and dIstigure
her for life, if it does not terminate IN
a very early death. Unfortunately her
parents have separated, and she has
been keeping house for her father on
Market between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets. She was kindlIng a fire
and child like, concluded to drop Il
burning match into can of Kerosene
OIL that she might hear the explosion
and see the flame. The explosion,
however, was very great, and blew the
burning oil INTO every portion
Of the room, setting fire to her clothes,
the bedding, floor and furniture. l he
flames spread RAPIDLY, and almost IN
stantly euveloped the unfortunate girl
from head to foot Screaming and
wnthIng in agony, she ran down the
steps from the third story Of the
house, but before any one could assist
her she ran up another fight of stairs
and disappeared in some portion of
the house. She turned almost in
stantly, still burning, and, in her fright
and pain, seized hold of an aged lady,
and holding her firmly, allowed the
flames to communicate to her
dress The old lady got loose,
however, but not until after
she was sever ly burned. Two
policemen came rushing to the house,
cut the clothes from the unfortunate
girl, and thus stopped the progress OF
the fire in its fierce hunger devouriug
her flesh. But the flames had about
done their work The whole body,
from the shoulders to the feet, were
terribly burned the hair on the back
part OF her head was also burned, but
the face renamed comparatively un-
touched. Miss Sites was still con-
scious, and when taken back to her
room conversed in low tone with her
friends and relatives. The attending
physician is doing all he can to pre-
serve her life, but the probability IS
that his efforts will prove fruitless.

fering from the scalds and the steam
they had inhaled, lay perfectly~passive.
while some kind female or man dressed
their hurts with cooling lotions, or
kept a current Of air about them with
fans. The poor creatures with their
swollen and bandaged features and
limbs, presented an appearance which
can never be effaced from the memoir
les of those who saw them. The pa
tients who death early released from
their agony passed away, without ex-
ception, in the quitest manner. No
struggle, no painful gasping for breath,
but they seemed to sink into a doze,
which gradually changed into the sleep
of death. y

Monroe After the Fire,

Not twelve months have elapsed
since our citizens were alarmed at the
sensational Information that nearly the
whole of the thriving city Of Monroe
was destroyed by fire, which caused
them to mourn, but we arc pleased to
say only for the time being. Scarcely
had'thc ashes had time to cool, when
most Of our prominent citizens went to
work and rebuilt, with vigor that re-
ally surprised us, and started forth to
seek fresh goods and novelties to supply
their friends and customers with. One
house in particular, not content with
their knowledge of the various manu-
tacturies Of different wares, sent two
buyers forth to search the country for
better ones. The house we allude to is
that Of II. Gerson, Jr, who this season,
While on his travels, procured the sole
agency for Ouachita parish for an arti-
Gle which they had long known by
reputation, viz, Lazarus, Morris & Co.'S
celebrated Perfected Spcctacics and
brought them home. Scarcely had he

fora fresh supply, which we understand
arrived OH Monday last. 1t appears
from what We could CLEAN from Mr..
GeEson that it is not alone the superior
quality Of The lenses that has caused
them in SO short 4 time to come almost
universally in Use, bat of the copyright
method OF fitting by which they guar
antee Il perfect, and after having done
so warrant them to last for year., with !
out change. Knowing that Il perfect
lifting, easy spectacle is a boon to spec
taclc wearers, we honestly recommend |
those of our readers needing them to
call on Mr.. Gerson, who is sole agent |
tor this parish, and obtain a pair of the |
genuine article, which is stamped L. s. |
NJ. P. S. All others represented as the
Perfected are merely spurious articles
which unscrupulous traders try to inn
pose upon the public.

WHO WILL NOT ATTEND.

The last night of the Old Year has
vent as a suitable time for giving an
entertainment for the dedication of our
people andfor the further purpose of Sc
curing material aid for that institution.
We have been waited upon by a trio
Of young ladies, in the interest of this
iaudabIc enterprise, and requested to
lend them the aid Of our types in maxi
ing known their intentions, which we
most chccrfuily do. The principal fca-
turc of the entertainment will consist
in choice musical performances, both
vocal and instrumental, by the best
taicnt Of the Convent, aided by friends
who have volunteered their services.
The programme will further include
ctiaradcs and table,uN, and two plays
will be put upon the boards, entitled,
''McetinS of the Muses. aud .sThc
Loan of Il I.over.' Ssudcrs'., Hall

giving the entertainments We feel au-
thorizcd in saying that the occasion
will be one Of pleasure to the spectator,
and trust it will meet with unanimous
approval when we move that we all
assemble at the Hall on the night of

misses act their several parts, and thus

We arc quite willing our neigl,bor
should extract all the consolation he
can from any political event concern
ing the Editor of this paper, for the
fiagitious and palpable wrongs the Rad
zeal leaders have inflicted upon Louisi-
ana. That the editor of the Intelligent
Ger feels that the State has been out
ragged beyond all parallel is sufficiently
apparent in his timorous illusions to
the late onslaught upon popular rights
and his studied neutrality in reference
to some of the measures which demand
all mems disapprobation. If there be
anything more to be condemned than
those wrongs themselves, it is the ill.,
uividual who has not the moral courage
neither to denounce nor approve them.
But VIC will give our contemporary an
opportunity to explain its "situation''
on this head, by simply asking, wl,eth-
4 or not it approves and defends the
-,our5c of Senator Kellogg, Jt,.,.,c Du-
rell, pinchback and others of the same
party, in defeating the will Of the pco-
pie of this State and.ofsuppeanting Col.
MclIncry, the duly elected Governor,
with Senator kellogg, his defeated OPP
poncnt: We invite our ncighbor to
explain his position fully.
