NEWARK, Del. Nov. l6
William Slack has sold his farm on Chestnut
Hill to party from New Jersey, who proposes
opening pits Immediately to take out iron ore.
We understand the same parties are making ar
rangements with owners on the Hill to buy
them out. Should they do 10 and be successful
in getting out plenty of ore, it may be the means
of the raising of capital to build the furnace we
spoke Of sometime ago. This would save a
large amount of freight, beside saving the ore
that is thrown out with the dirt which amounts
to 80 or 40 per cent of the whole product.
The woods of Miss Annie Clark, near Glasgow,
were noticed to be on fire on last Friday, about
noon, burning until 81 o'clock in the evening"

some one cunning and using paper wad, the
ground brush being very dry.
Three stray calves are awaiting an owner at

the hands on r. W. Il o. II. Il. have been cut
down, to what amount we have not ascertained.

AT l o'clock, this P. NJ, horrible accident oc-
CURED in West Coatesyille, which will probably
be attended with fatal consequences 1t oc-
CURED at the residence of Charles Gregor.
Gregor is employed at the lanyard of Mr..
Gilfillan, and occupies the wing Of the house
adjoining the tannery. His wife is deceased,
and he employs a housekeeper to take charge Of
things about the house. Both Gregor and his
housekeeper are addicted to strong drink, and it
is said that both have been on spree for a
week past, the debauch only terminating, to-
day, with probably fatal consequences.
1t is supposed the woman was attempting to
light her pipe, when she staggered against the
stove and her clothing caught fire. She rushed
preciptately out into the open air, when the
flames completely enyelcped her, and before as-
sistance arrived her clothing was burned from
her person and her body literally roasted. The
poor creature suffers fearfuliy, and her recov-
cry is extremely doubtful.
