AS soon as Hendricks accepts, that water
works record of his will fit very well along

The Syracuse Journal says Governor

at the very heart of the great pretender.

u A SAD CASE OF BURNING.-On Monday
evening last, Mrs. Jennie Fowler, aged
about twenty years, of Chesapeake City,
daughter of the late Washington Hyland,
while on visit to her mother at llyland' S
Store, in Elk Neck, was terribly burned by
the explosion of coal oil. She was build
ing a fire, and to facilitate matters satur-
ated the wood with kerosene. She then
shut up the stove and applied lighted
match to the lower draught opening. In
stantly an explosion took place, which
threw off the lids and doors of the stove
and scattered the burning fluid in every
direction, Mrs. Fowler receiving a large
portion of it upon the upper part of her
body Her clothing Immediately took fire.
and she in her confusion and fright ran
wildly about the room. There was no one
else in the house at the time, except
her brother, small lad, Mrs. Hyland, her
MOTHER having gone out to spend the
afternoon. The boy hearing her shrieks
came to her assistance, and right nobly
did he strive to aid her. He tried to strip
her burning clothes from her, and to GER
tain extent succeeded, but at this time she
was so badly burned that with every piece of
her garments he removed cain. .?lsn the
scorched flesh of the victim. The clothing
was literally burned from her body, and
the fire was extinguished only when there
was nothing more to burn.
Another version of the circumstances of
the case is that Mrs. Fowler, after pouring
oil upon the wood, put lighted match to
it while holding the can of fluid in her
hand, and that the oil in the can as well as
that in the stove exploded. We cannot
ascertain which is correct, she was, at any
rate, fearfully burned, and the physicians
have but little hopes of her recovery.

OVERCOME BY THE HEAT

OVERCOME BY THE HEAT.
On Tuesday, the 18th instant, Mr.. Levi
Lammey, of the Iron Works, was prostrat-
ed to the ground through the overpowering
heat of the sun. Fortunately, the manager
was close at hand, picked him up and con-
vcyed him to the office, where little cool
,oater was administered and he was soon
restored to his former self. About o. clock
the same evening, his house, on the Rolling
Mill Bank, was
STRUCK EY LIGHTNING,
part of the fluid passing down the chimney,
where a little child was sleeping. Two
other small children were sleeping close by
and the mother was sitting on a chair
watching, as it were, her infants. They
were all unframed. The balance of the
fluid passed down the conductor into tub
of water, making its escape by SCATTERING
a stave on opposite sides of the vessel.
SABBATH SCHOOL.
On Sabbath last, our Pastor, Rev. Mr..
Wilson, and Superintendent, Rev. Mr..
Kyle, owing to the excessive hot weather,
and agreeable to former arrangements,
changed the hour of Sabbath school in the
NJ. T.. Church from oclock T.. NJ. to 8 A.
NJ, which has given quite satisfactory
result. The school was largely attended
both by adults and pupils. There were
sixteen additional recruits the first day
after the change of hour. A short time
since we took occasion to say our Pastor
had u desire that the school should reach
the number of two hundred scholars by
the 4th of July, which was fully realized.
Now his object is to number three hundred
by Christmas, and from present indications
we are inclined to the belief that the pres
ent numbers will be largely increased. We
presume we are not assuming too much if
we should say, we believe it to be one of
the largest and best conducted schools in
tho county, and think it quite safe to pre-
dict a good time for the children when
"Old Chris y comes round. Wen see.
FLAGS.
We should judge from the number OF
flags, small and smaller, floating in the
breeze, that our people are getting quite
centennially patriotic, which brings to mind
the times of the war. when one of our mer
chants had his flag floating on the evening
of Gilmore's daring raid. When the news
came, he calmly considered the all im
portance of being on the right side in the
time of emergency; consequently, that
night he got his coored woman to cut the
flag down. When morning came some OF
his more sanguine neighbors calmly >
waited on the gentleman and had him fling
it to the breeze again.
