BOILED IN A PAPER MILL.-One Of
those accidents 30 horrible in their de-
tails as to sicken the sensibilities of the
reader, occurred at the Caledonia Paper
Mills, at the foot of Market street, late
Saturday afternoon. At about three
o'clock Joshua Cummins, night watch
man of the works, came to the building
in an intoxicated condition, and the en-
ployees fearing he would meet with q
mishap of some kind if he remained in
that state, put him out and started him
towards home, corner of Blackford and
North streets. Nothing more was seen
of him until about 4:20 o'clock, when
the workmen in the tub house, four OF
FIVE negroes, were startled by cry that
almost froze the blood in their veins
Well they knew what it meant-some
unfortunate had fallen into one of the
watts used for steaming the straw before
reducing it to pulp. Proceeding in the
direction of the cry, they discovered
Cummins in vat A, striving to obtain a
hold upon the edge of the slaves and
pull himself out. The vat is ten feet
deep, and that time contained two feet
of "mash and two feet of boiling wa
ter the whole mass being boiling hot.
One of the workmen grasped the hand
extended by Cummins, but the cuticle
peeled off in his hand, and poor Cum
minis fell into the seething pulp again,
this time fat on his back. The poor
man struggled to his feet again, and
again succeeded by almost miraculous
means in getting hold Of the stave edges
with his hands. This time the workmen
pulled him out by his coat sleeves. He
was at once removed to his residence,
and DIR. Prunk called in to attend him.
The flesh was literally boiled upon his
bones, he having been in the vat as many
as four minutes, and when his clothing
was removed, almost the entire cuticle
came with it. Everything was done 10
alleviate his sutferings that science and
skill could suggest, but nothing seemed
able to quiet him. He lay writhing in
the greatest agony for ten hours, throw
ing his arms about his head in the delir-
ium of his pain, scattering shreds of
flesh and skin over the room-a sight too
horrible to witness-when at 100 yester-
day morning, death came to his relief
and ended his sufferings. Indianapolis

A School-House on Fire-How Fifty

From the Dayton Ohio Journal, Dec. "a.
At few minutes before 3 O'Clock yes
terday evening smoke was discovered is
suing from the basement of the Fourth
District School-house, on Brown street.
The school had been dismissed at AZ, and
the greater number Of the scholars had
started for home, but about fifty boys
and girls remained in the upper hall, on
the third floor of the building, engaged
in rehearsing their pieces for the exhibi-

The smoke was first noticed issuing from

street in safety. The janitor, who was
engaged in sweeping on the upper floor
of the building, heard the alarm, and,
rushing down stairs, attempted to enter
the cellar, but was driven back by the
dense volume of smoke which burst
through the door the moment it was
opened. In the meantime the cry of

was Immediately signaled from box No.

reached the place. A hole was cut
through the floor in the hall directly

HEART RENDING SCENES.

The cars turned completely over and,
bottom up, fell perpendicularly to the
ground below-a distance of 20 feet.
When the cars struck, the trucks crush
ed through the bottoms, and, as the
stoves of passenger cars were directly
under the trucks, they were crushed to
pieces, and Immediately the woodwork
of the cars took fire. OF As people
known to have been in the two cars but
one escaped unaided, the brakeman on
the passenger car, who jumped clear OF
the cars as they were falling. The
woodwork of the passenger car, thickly
coated as it was with varnish, burned
freely, and before anything could be
done by the force at hand to prevent, the
flames enveloped both ends of the car
and crept rapidly toward the centre.
Penned within it at this time, with no
possible chance to extricate themselves,
we're AZ adult passengers, the conductor
and one child. Of those seated in the
ends of the car none escaped, but, help
arriving, about % dead and living were
taken out of the centre of it, and the
flames were extinguished, or, more cor.
rectly speaking, went out for want of
anything further to burn. The remains
OF other passengers were then recovered.
The roll foots up as follows Saved
all more or less injured-19; dead 10;
missing eight The dead, with four ex-
eeptions, were burned so as to be unrec-
ognizable by the features, and there are
but three that could possibly be identi-
fed from the shreds of clothing adhering
to the roasted flesh. Five were headless
and without limbs, and the remaining
ones had the flesh all burned off their
extremities. The eight missing are
supposed to have been completely con-
sumed, and thereare also pieces of skulls
watches, and the like, sufficient to partly
justify such belief. Four others are
known to have been on the train, name
ly; Catherine Kelley, Kitty Ryan, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur F. Recall of

CARBoLIc ACID IN SMALL Pox.-
The London Lancet, publishes an &C
count, by DR.. Watson, of several cases
Of small pox and scarlet fever, in which
the external application of carbolic ac'
id met with marked success. In the
case of one patient with small pox, whom
he saw at the period when papulae APP
peared, he ordered an enema, and then
had the patient--a girl of ii years
sponged all over with carbolic acid and
soapsuds. The next day severe attack
of continent small pox was threatened,
but the child was sponged as before, and
then her whole body was painted with
carbolic acid and glycerine of the Brit
ish pharmacopaeia. Five grains Of
Dover's powder were given to allay ir'
ritability, and the patient slept quietly
for several hours, when she was sponged
again. No vesicles formed, and the pa
tient was convalescent in few days.

The AGE OF INvENTIoN-It would
seem that Yankee ingenuity has really
no limit, when we scan the list of pa
tents weekly issued from the U. S. Pa.
tent Office. But many of these patents
ara virtually useless to the parties whose
Inventive genius has conceived these
articles, and whose money has been
paid to solicitors of slight experience for
obtaining the patent. Inventors will dc
well to apply only to solicitors of high
standing, who can not only give all requir-
ed details as to fling ofcaveats, and procur-
ing of American and Foreign Patents,
but whose judgment and large practice
will be of great value in determining the
advisability of mourning the expense Of
letters patent. No solicitor in New
England is so we'll known as Mr. R. II.
Eddy of Boston, whose card appears in
this issue of our paper His experience
of nearly generation and his extensive
practice in all departments relating to
the procurement of patents render him
peculiarly fitted to give advice and
promptly forward all business with ener-
gy and success. AS the pioneer in Amer
lea for obtaining patents for Trade
Marks and Designs he has had marked
success in securing the designer and
manufacturer from imitation, and in
ventors will do we'll to avail themselves
of his extensive research in drawing
specifications and avoiding conflicting
claims in the issue of patents.
