Fatal and Distressing Accident.-Early on
Monday morning, distressing accident, PROV
Ing fatal to one of those injured, occurred at
the residence of George n. Tybout, Esq, in
New Castle Hundred, about four miles from
the town of New Castle.
Mrs. Maxwell, the nlothcr-n-law of Mr.. ~
bout, is an elderly lady and an invalid, having
been confined 10 her bed for several months,
and IL is the custom TO keep a light burning in
her room all night. Miss Mary A. Alexander,
young lady from near Frederick, Del, who
has resided intimately with the family for sev-
cral years, Sleeps in the room with Mrs. Max
well, to render her attention in case of need.
ON Monday morning, about . O'Clock, Miss
Alexander rote up and went to extinguish the
light. IL was an ordinary gas lamp burning
coal oil. She turned down the flame lower
| than 1t had been burning, raised tho chimney
and blew up, when, upon the instant the lamI
| exploded into hundred fragments, and she
was developed in the flame of the burning fluid
She said she was afraid TO go 10 bed for a quilt
| to cxtinguish the flames, lest she should set
fire 10 it, AMI SO threw herself on the floor, and
| covered her noslrils and mouth TO avoid inhal-
| ing the flame. At this point, Mrs. Maxwell,
terrified beyond description, managed to &c I
out of bed, and hlrryjns TO the burning gIl
| threw shawl over her, but the flames envclop-
ing her were so fierce that they consumed il in
| n moment.
Mrs. Maxwell, burned AMI exhausted now
made out TO get the door open, and give an
alarm, when she fell fanting. Mr.. Tybout re
| spending 10 the call, rushed in and succeeded
in fighting the flames and subduing them, as
they had, fortunately, not extended to the fur
niture of the apartment. Ills slippers were
burned from his feet, during his efforts.
Medical aid was promptly summoned for the
injured, but in Miss Alexander's case il was nm
ayailing. She was terribly burned-as oui
correspondent informs us, literally roasted
alive and after suffering the most excrlcia-
ting pain, died on Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Maxwell is doing well as could be ex
pected, and her recovery is hoped for. The
family were terribly alarmed, and are thrown
, into deep ailliction over the tragic occurrence
, and the untimely death of Miss Alexander
Commercial.

BdnQuet.-The banquet given by tho Car.
riage Makers Association at the Clayton House,
last Friday evening, in honor of visit from
Hon. q. l.. Kimball of Portland, Me-, prcsi-
dent of the National Association, was one of
the finest ever served in our city. There were
present John Green, William II. Gregg, Joseph
Cooling, Samuel Paschall, Charles W. Horn,
Jones Guthrie, Samuel Cooling, Howard Pussy,
William McClary, John Dixon, Caspar Kendall,
VIM. II. Wright, Evan Thomas, Issac V. Lloyd,
James Bradford, VIM. Y. Warner and others.
After they had partaken of The many good
things prepared for the occasion, President
Kimball made an interesting speech in which
he referred to the carriage makers of our city
| in very complimentary terms, and remarking
| that the National association owed a debt of
gratitude to the Wilmington Association as
much of its success was attributed to it. He
compmented our city, the Clayton House in
particular, and expressed tho hope that the
| Wilmington builders may attend in force the
next National Convention, and be as she was
in the last, the banner city. Brief addresses
were made by William II. Gregg, Joel First
Caspar Kendall and others indicating n much
more friendly feeling that existed among thu
craft few years ago. Remarks were also mad,
by VIM. Y. Warner who claimed for Whining
ton the best morocco factories in the world.

TIE MoDoCs.-The latest from the Modoc
war is that the Modocs ara strongly entrenched
in their Lava Beds, four miles south of their
old stronghold. The assistant Adjutant Gen
eral CT the Department Of Columbia has order
cd the commanders at Forts Colville, Lahwai
and klamath. and Camps Harvey and Warner,
to forward reports weekly or oftener u head
quarters, in regard TO any changes that may be
observed in the attitude of Indians toward The
Government. Ten companies of the Fourth
United States Infantry, 800 strong, passed
through st. Louis on Friday night, for Omaha
Their Colonel, Hunt, has orders to report TO
General Ord, but bis command was supposed to
be destined for the Modoc country. Lcuter-
ant Harris, wounded in the fight with the Mo-
docs, is reported in sinking condition.
ANOTHER SuRrIIsE.-'rhere has been anoth-
ell surprise of our troops by the Modocs. A
scouting party under Captain Hasbronck was
suddenly attacked at sunrise on the 18th, by
thirty-three of the savagcs who fired into their
camp. -Four soldiers and one Warm Spring
Indian were killed, and six soldiers and ono
Warm Spring Indian wounded. The troops
rallied and drove off the Modocs. One Modoc
was lcft on the field. The savaees are report
cd 10 ba "eniirely out Of the Lava Beds"

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY Is, 1873.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Woodward
delivered the opinion of the Court on Monday
last that the Berks County Railroad Company
have the right to lay tracks on Front and Canal
streets I'M the city Of Reading, and the new road
to the Coal regions will consequently be push
ed forward to completion. We are glad to hear
this, as the course pursued by the Philadelphia
aud Recalling II. II. Co. was most selfish and
unjust, being calculated to prevent competition
In carry ing coal and TO cripple industry and re
tlrd enterprise.

A WORD TO THE ELDER.

MR.. EoIToR:-l see in your last weeks is
sue, the Elder is Out again. lie speaks of aim
ing at some marx and missing, but says moth
ing about what kim! of mark nor how missed;
but PASSES all my remarks, and pitches into the
poor letter ID. aud tells the public 10 listen in
Peach time. Now Mr. Editor think whom a
man succeeds in raising tine peaches aud plen-
ty of them he has something To blow about, but
no one ever heard me blowing over pan of
Saurkraut or scrapplo Of doubtful quality.
The Elder too has tried the Teach business,
but it turned out like his Sermons, estate, fiat
and improbable His trees bore one sickly
looking crop, and then pegged out. The dead
stubs may BIZ seen standing in his orchard Cor
might short time since, fit monuments of lis
ignorance and stupidity. Oh Elder Elder,
quit chasing butterflies, take the bell OIL and
descend from your lofty pedestal, and take up
some humble vocation that nature has adapted
you for, and on Sundays so and hear some
| good, able, honest man preach and my word
| for it, You balance sheet at the end of the year
will look better IN every respect than it does
| now, and your character will stand full as good
| even in Catswamp. In conclusion, would say
| that if the Elders hedd ,uds not so thick, ana
# he could Speit in more than too syildJies he
| might have found more words than he did
where the letter b. would sound well enough
For instance tho word benefactor begins will
| Is. and shall claim the right of calling myself
beneiactor for showing the Elder up as lie is
Silt him again Elder" b.

BRAVE AND PIoUs.-Among the many
unrecorded acts of true heroism by unknown
men, during the late war, we find the follow
ing which some eyewitness has chronicled in
the Edgefield, s. c., Advertiser: n.-f
During Longstreet's campaign In Tennes-
see, while portion Of his army was under
a fearful fire of shells from the enemy, at
CampbelPs station. private soldier, within
Q few feet Of the colonel of his regiment, had
both of his legs torn of. The regiment was
not fighting but waiting orders. The wound
ed man was lifted a couple of yards in the
rear to die. Another private now marched
down the line under a hail of missiles, and
said to the commanding officer, Colonel,
may have few moments of PRAYER with
that dying man?" The colonel said. "Are
you clergymana' The private answered,
II am" ''Then.' said the colone,. edo a.
you desire" And the man of God knelt and
prayed with and for the dying man five or
ten minutes, without moving or swaying his
body, seemingly totally unconscious Of a
storm of shot and shell, which, the colonel
tells us, he never saw surpassed in fury. In
few days the praying private was announced
IN Held orders as chaplain of the regiment
promoted for gallantry and piety in the
neid." The regiment was the Hampton Le-
gion. The colonel was Gary. The private
soldier was the Rev. w. M. Thomas, now pas
tor of the Methodist churches OF our circuit.

Cat-Scatl
By HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

The way of cat with cat is past finding
out, except by those who are interested in
making close studies of nature.
1t is ten o'clock. The house is still. Re
turned from some assembly or thronged meet
ing, the silence and soothing emptiness of
the house are positive qualities, Children
there are none. Young folks have fed. The
matron plucks oranges in Florida, and the
guardian sister has gone % bed in a severe ere
reverence and devotion to the habit Of keen
ing early hours which makes Connect;c,pt
Yankees SO cute. No sounds in the strSa.
The low runbling of the cars in Firm s,, .n
street serve only to show you how stu II l.
Inc great city over yonder winks with ton aS,
thousand a9 ;aslI eyes Of gas; and you-what sso go
on Nn In.o visions? No-you feel hungryi
;sts Wv a al psychologists, physicians, hygien-
,s.s' n ano dyspeptics are agreed that one should
not eat just before going to bed. Only that
was necessary to make one alive to the de-
lights OF stolen meal. You rummage the
