FEARFUL AccIDENT.-We copy from
the Paducah Kentuckia,t the following,
showing the terrible consequences of the
growing carelessness and recklessness in
handling coal OIL The Kenhckian says
On Sunday last, about half past three
o'clock, Mrs Helmstatter, wife of Leoo

this citY-who lived at the corner OF
Locust and Adams street5-built fire
in her stove, and as it did not burn very
readily, she took the oil can and com
menced pouring oil upon IT, The fame
was Immediately communicated to the
can, the oil IN which ignited and the can
exploded with a fearful conclusion,
throwing the blazing fluid all over her.
She was instantly mass of fame from
head to foot With the greatest pres
ence Of mind she rushed to the bed and
eudeavored by rolling herself up in the
bed clothes to smother the flames, but
failing in this endeavor, and crazed by
her terrible torture. she ran out OF doors,
screaming in agony, threw herself on the
GROUND and tried to subdue the fire by
rolling Overland over, but without avail
Her terrible and heartrending screams
soon brought her husband aud neighbors
to the rescue. who succeeded in extin-
gushing the fumes, but it was too late.
She was burnt nearly to crisp. Her
hair was burnt entirely off, and the flesh
peeled from her bones in great fakes.
The sight was sickening aud horrible

agony until yesterday morning, when
death kindly relieved her from her suffer

This IS the third or fourth accident
which has occurred in this city during
the past few months, from the reck less
use of that eath-daring fluid, and yet it
seems thes warnings have but little effect
upon the community. 1t seems strange
that persons who ought to know better
will continue to carelessly handle such a
dangerous article. Many people suppose
that because no accident has ever hap
pened to them from coal oil that they
never will be Injured by it, and they con
tinue by their careIessness to defy their
fate. Any kind of burning duid is dan
gerous unless handled with Judgement

The Frankfort Yeosaan OF the 10Th
says the General Assembly passed on
the 18Th an important bill to provide for
existing deficits in the Treasury. 1t au
thorises the issuing of bonds for $500
600, payable in FIVE years and redeem
able, at option, within one year. The
bill was reported in the House by Dir.
Graves, Chairman of the Committee Of
Ways and Means, who explained and ad
vocated its passage in few remark, set
ting forth its necessity. He said that
while the financial resources aud credit
of the State were unsurpassed, it was
we'll known that there was not money III

penses of the Government or to pay out
standing claims. The scheme proposed

debt of the State, as it was simply to meet
iudebtness which alread existed and that
it would not require increase of taxation.

due, there would be ample means to
meet them without taxation The bill
