A Remarkable Case.

AT Worcester, Mass, on Saturday at
ternoon, Frank Bates. freight brake
man on the Norwich and Worcester
railroad was engaged in winding up
an engine at the station, when he fel
from the top of the woodpile to tho
ground, distance of about four feet
striking headforemost. He was taken
up in an unconscious condition. and DIR
i. III. Hammond, who was instantly
called, found the vertebra dislocated al
the base of the brain the bone project
ing and forming lump as large as a
large walnut. The account in the Spy
continues
mo hopes were entertained of his
recovery, and it was expected that death
would result in short time. Although
the injured man was unconscious, he
was constantly swinging his head from
side to side. He was removed to the
City Hospital, where every effort was
made to reduce the dislocation and
restore the vertebra to its natural posi-
ton. While these efforts were being
made the eyes of the injured man became
fixed, pulsation ceased, and he was to
all appearances breathing his last. He
was made as comfortable as possible,
and death was expected at any moment.
Bates was, however, soon seized with
vomiting, but there was no apparent
improvement in his condition.
About three hours and half after
the accident friend of Mr.. Bates called
at the hospital and the attendant accom-
panied him to the room. In attempting
to ind the dislocation to show the friend
this extent of the injury, the attendant
was surprised to find it reduced. He
continued to improve during the night,
and yesterday morning he sat up and
ate quite hearty breakfast. He was,
however, unable to recall anything that
had transpired the night previous. A
bout o'clock, although not feeling very
well, he asked permission to leave the
hospital, which was granted, and he
returned to his home yesterday to all
appearance in excellent condition, except
a soreness of the neck"
1t is stated that Bates has been sub
ject to vertigo, and it is supposed an at
tack of this caused the fall. In trying
to vomit he threw his head forward, and
it is Beloved the dislocation was reduced
in this manner Such result is won
derful, and probably would not occur
again in thousand cases.

OF course the question has come up
anew as to who commanded at Bunker
Hill, whether, Putnam, Prescott, War
rem, Ward, and we don't know many
others. There is no evidence that the
command was assigned to one on that
day, as the battle was precipitated by
the British on the discovery in the
morning by them that the Americans
had thrown up a redoubt ON Breeds
hill during the night When Gen. War
rem arrived on the field, with Major
Generals commission, Putnam offered to
take orders from him, but Warren de-
olined to assume command, wishing to
act as a volunteer soldier where he
could be of most service, and was sent
to tie redoubt. This with other equally
strong incidents, very decidedly favors
the claim most generally made, that the
commander on that day was Israel Put.

CROP PRosPECTs.-Ca California papers
report marked improvement in the
prospects of the wheat crop throughout
the State. Dews and rains have helped
the wheat along very fast and contributed
to repair the damage caused by the
drouth. Throughout the month of May
the weather was very favorable to crops
of every description, and many fields
which had been given up as hopeless are
coming forward with a promise of a fair
crop. While there are some sections on
the uplands where no cropwill be raised,
the yield in the lowlands promises to
be very large, and in some portions i'm
mense, as on Grand Island, where whole
farms bid fair to yield ninety bushels to
the acre. The winter wheat crop of the
Atlantic States as well as the Pacific,
including Oregon, promises well accord
ing to the New York Bulletin, and the
prospects of a good crop of spring wheat
in the Western States so far very good.
The grounds upon which short wheat
crop in this country were predicted a
few weeks ago have mostly DISAPPEARED;
and the European crops in the United
Kingdom and on the Continent, are re-
ported fully as fourishing as our own.

Shocking affair at Burlington.
A YOUNG GIRL BURNT TO DEATH.

YOUNG GIRL BURNT TO DEATH.
Mary Dady and another young lady
residing in Winooski went to ride with a
young man named James Premier, OF
Burlington, Sunday. Miss Dady is de-
scribed as an amiable young lady of more
than ordinary intelligence ofsome seven
teen years, and highly esteemed. The
Burlington Free Press from which we
gather the particulars, says that last Sun
day afternoon, young man named
James Premier, a resident of that city
hired team and drove to Winooski.
Here, near her fathers house, he met
Miss Dady, who was accompanied by
another young lady, and, being well ac-
quainted with each other, the two girls
got into the buggy-an ordinary top
covered buggy-with Premier, to take a
ride, and they drove off on the Mallets
Bay road. Soon after entering the car
riage Miss Dady complained that her
feet were too warm. Her companion
replied that she was too cold, and but
little importance was attached to the re-
mark at the time. They had gone
about quarter of mile when, sudden
ly without word or cry, Miss Dady
leaped from the carriage, while it was in
motion, and ran down the road with the
speed of deer. When she jumped
fire burst out from every part Of her
clothes, and as the poor girl ran in mad
terror she was enveloped in sheet of
fame.
Premier and the other lady, as he says I;
Immediately followed her and attempted
to extinguished the flames by wrapping
the lap robe around her, but she was ter
ribly burnt and taken in that condition
to her home.

DEATH OF THE VICTIM.

The Free Press of Tuesday says that
Mary Dady, the victim of the horrible
tragedy at Winooski, Sunday afternoon,
died at half-past two o'clock Monday
morning, She was conscious to the very
last, and suffered no pain whatever,
throughout She was fifteen years old
on the 9th of February last, and was

are reported in South America on the

destroyed and thousands of people lost
their lives. A volcano also burst forth
adding greatly to the calamity. From
Iceland, too, reports are that some of the
old volcanoes have burst out and thou
sands of people are homeless in conse-
quence. As Iceland owes its existence
to volcanic action, the report is not i'm
probable, and that country is so isolated
that aid and sympathy are not near at
hand, and the suffering must be great.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The Free Press has also another and
later account which conflicts in some re-
spects with Frenier's story Premier
drove to Winooski in company with
James DAILY, who got out when the girls
Mary Dady and Honora DAILY. got in.
AS they passed Henry Morrison's, about
a quarter of mile distant, Mr.. Morri-
son saw smoke issuing from the wagon
and warned them of their danger, but
the warning was unheard. William LIE
Clair was driving just behind them and
Morrison asked the latter to drive fast
and warn them. Before he could over
take them, however, Miss Dady had
jumped out, as before narrated. Miss
DAILY also jumped out and followed her
and assisted by several others near at
hand, attempted extinguished the flames.
In the meantime Premier contented him.
self with holding the horse, and when
Miss Dady was brought back to the wag-
on he ran in the opposite direction.
Mr.. Morrison then drove back with the
two girls, Miss Dady conversing as usual
and apparently suffering no pain what
ever. Miss Days hands were very Sc
verely burned, and her dress consider
ably damaged. by fire. Her wounds were
dressed by DR.. Richardson
Miss Dady's body is one complete mass
of blisters, except the soles of her feet
and part of the face. AT first she suf-
fered no pain, but at the latest accounts
reaction had set in and she was suffering
excruciating pain.
The cause of the fire appears to be un-
known beyond the probability that in
some manner it took from cigars the two
young men had been smoking but which
they say they had thrown away before
meeting the girls.

RpubIican Platform /.

The following platform was unanimously
adopted, without discussion:
The Republicans of Ohio, in Convention as
sembled, re-affiming the cardinal principles of
their organization, which have become re-
reived maxims of policy, State and national,
declare on specific points the series of senti-
ments following:
First-The States are one as a nation, and
all citizens are equal under the laws, and en-
titled to their fullest protection.
Second-That the policy of finance should
be steadily pursued which, without unnecessa-
" shock to business or trade, will ultimately
equalize the purchasing capacity of the coin
and paper dollar.
Third-We are in favor Of tariff for reve-
nue., with incidental protection to American
industry.
Fourth-We stand by free education, our
public school system, the taxation of all for
its support, and no division of the school
| fund
Fifth-Under our republican system of
government there should be no connection,
direct or indirect, between Church and State,
and we oppose all legislation in the interest of
any particular sect. Upon this subject we
should not fail to profit by the experience of
foreign governments, where the efforts of the
Church to control the State constitute an evil
| OF great magnitude; and endangerS the power
and prosperity OF the people.
| Sixth-We demand such a revision of the
patent laws as will relieve industry from the
oppression of monopolies in administration.
Seventh-A grateful people can never cease
to remember the services of our soldiers and
sailors, and it is due to them that iberality
and generosity should obtain in the adjustment
of pay and bounties.
: Eighth-That we demand that the public
domain shall be scrupulously reserved for oc-
cupancy by actual settlers.
| Ninth-The determination of the govern
ment to collect the revenue, and prevent and
punish frauds, has our unqualified approval.
Tenth-That the power of municipal corpo-
rations to create debts should be restricted,
and local and other expenditures should be so
reduced as to diminish taxation.
Eleventh-The observance of Washington's
example, in retiring at the close of a second
Presidential term, will be in the future, as it
has been in the past, regarded as fundamen-
tai rule in the unwritten law of the republic.
Twelfth-The distinguished success of his
administration, which, to the fame of the pa
triot and soldier has added that of the capa
BILE and judicious statesman, entities President
Grant to the gratitude of his countrymen.
