CHu.p BuRSED.-Just before goingto press
this morning, serious accident occurred to a
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Grooms about
eighteen months old, residing on Ferry street,
in this city. He was LETT alone for moment
or two by his mother, and it is supposed that
while she was gone the child commenced play
ing with the stove, for, on returning, she found
him in flames Being terribly frightened,
she gave the alarm, and Mr.. VIM. Gordon and
swife, living next door, rushed in and found
Mrs. Grooms with the child in her arms, bold
ing it up. Mr. Gordon Immediately seized
the child, while Mrs. Gordon smothered the
flames with her dress. They had heard the
child crying before the mother gave the alarm,
but did not suppose that such sad accident
had befallen it. DR.. Rice was called in, and
administered to its relief, but his opinion is
that the child cannot live but short time
The face is burned all over, and is in a crisp
from the nose downward. The breast and
arms, and the knees, are also badly burned.
Mr.. Grooms was absent at his work at the
Rubber Factory. ss~.,.+ ...,, 800
p. S.-Wehave learned since that the child
is dead.

The above, which we clip from an exchange,
is, unfortunately, too true, if not generally, at
least of this city. American boys are looking
out for "genteel" places in stores offices,
etc, aud but few are fitting themselves for
mechanical occupations. As result, the next
few years will produce very large number of
miserable, half-starved lawyers, doctors, book
keepers, clerks, Sc, while the children of our
foreign-bom citizens will have the mechanical

too respectable y to work at trades, and who

FATTENING YOUNG WOMEN
Throughout the interior of Africa, and in
deed in some parts of Asia, woman is
priced for fairness. Beauty is associated
with excessive obesity and such being the
public sentiment, mothers seasonably COM
mence system of diatetic treatment that
makes their daughters irresistible. Colonel
Keating's travels give an account of the
process of fitting young women for Tunis
market. As. soon as bethrothed she is
cooped up in small room, with gold
shackles on her ankles. If her proprietor
has lost wife by death or divorced
one, her anklets are sent forward
to the new matrimonial candidate.
When she has attained desirable size,
indicated by filling the pattern rings, she
is carried in triumph to her new home.
The preparation of food that actually pro-
duces that coveted dimension-a mountain
of fatness-is called dough, made Of the
seeds of a vegetable peculiar to the coun-
try. Some positively die from excessive
fatness in an effort to surpass in that be-
witching accomplishment rival candidates
for matrimonial positions. These famous
mortals are not the poor girls. They are
higher orders in society, and therefore
are ambitious, like fashionables in some
civilized states, of securing an elevated po-
sition with rich husband. Bruce, the
traveller, saw great queen in Africa
gem of women, the envy of her sex and
wife-hunters-who weighed over four hun
dred.

Chicago is rejoicing in free library,

Massachusetts continues to make her
criminals pay for their living. The expen-
ditures of. the state prison at Charlestown,
during the past year, have amounted to
$l34 ,560.2l, while the receipts have been
sl45, 1854, which gives profit of $14,-
635.23. This is the result of good man
agement. There is no reason why q large
number of able bodied men in any state
institution of the kind should not be made
to earn more than it costs to keep them on
the frugal fare common in such places, but
in this state our prisons are source of loss
instead Of gain.
We mentioned some time ago the case
of an old lady in Massachusetts, Eho made
provision in her will for a favorite cat. 1t
appears that an unfeeling assessor of inter-
nal revenue has endeavored to defeat the
object of this feline bequest and take the
bread out of the poor cats mouth, by col.
lecting the legacy and succession tax from
! her. We are glad to notice that Commits
sioner Douglas has decided that this thing
cannot be done. 1t would be outrageous
to make the life of this bereaved cat mise
rable by setting the tax collectors upor
her.

TREATMENT OF SMALL-PoX-An Al
legged Efectual Remedy.-A great discovery
is said to have been recently made by a
the way of an efectual remedy for small
pox. The mode of treatment is as follows :
"When the proceeding fever is at its height,
and just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric
ointment" This causes the whole Of the
eruption to appear on that part Of the body
to the relief Of the rest. 1t also secures a
complete and full eruption, and thus pre-
vents the disease from attacking the inter-
nal organs. This is now the established
mode Of treatment in the English army in
China. and is regarded as perfect cure.
