THE UNITED STATES.

The Commission sent to New Orleans
TO solve the Louisiana difficulty returned
TO Washington Gu the cath Of April. They
presented their report in the course Of
the day and were entertained by the
President in The evening. On The same day
the President ordered the withdrawal of the
United States troops from the Orleans State
House, and when that had taken place,
Mr.. Packard addressed his adherents in.
forming Them that the time had come to
end the contest, and then withdrew.
There is therefore an end to the danger
that so long threatened in this quarter.
The victims of the Southern Hotcl
fire, st. Louis, were not more than fWeIya.
The Coloner's Jury Were not able 10
come 10 any conclusion rs to the cause
OF the FIRE; but censurtd the ptoprietors
for not having supplied the buildings
with proper appliances to meet such an
accident. We notice the occurrence of
several accidents peculiar TO America.
The following is a notice of a forest
FIRE which occurred April Goth near Scrau-
ton, Pennsylvania.
1.-The forests on all sides Of The oily are blaz.
ing fercely for miles away and present a weird
aspect. In some places where the growth Of trees
and brUshwood is dense the rush of flame
along The hillsideS is awe.iuspiring and grand.
1.-The reflection of he fire from The woods south
of The city was SO vivid to. night at eight O'Clock
as to cause an alarm that it was raging in the
Seventeenth ward, and for a time the people
were panic stricken. There was a rush from
the several churches, and quiet WIS not restor-
&c until it was ascertaintd the brilliant light
was caused by the burning of the woods three
miles away.
o course, these fires are far enough removed
from Scranton to be perfectly harmless here,
but they cause considerable havoc among the
small settlements and the narrow clrarings
along tie hills, where the occupants Ct frame
shanties often have to beat a hasty retreat
before their roaring advance. The forest fires
have not been so fierce 10 this neighbOurhOUd fOg
many years as they are at p~resent".
Then we have an account OF a great
petroleum fire in tho same State aud on
the same day.
yesterday afternoon a heavy storm passed
over this section about h~alfpast six O'Clock.
The lightning struck q large tank on the
Troutman farm which contained %. 0CO barrels
of oil, and the tank was torn to pieces. The
burning oil set fire to two other tanks, and one,
containing 25.0 0 barrels, was destroyed. The
ether was extinguished by steam. The burning
oil ran down the creek a mile, destroying every
thing Units course. 1t was checked by Ralston's
dam, which was large enough TO hold it md
stop further damage. Twelve oil wells, with
tanks at the wells, were destroyed. The town
Of Troutman, consisting OF a hotel, two livery
stables, q billiard room and dwelling houses,
was destroyed. A pipe line pump station and
q number of other buildings were also destroy
ed. The $4,000 barrels Of oil burned belonged
to the United Pipe Line, and will be paid by
pre- ysse assessment BY that line. The lOss

The Sleepless Man.

The man who does not sleep, Saund-
els. now resides near Parkersburg, w.
Va. A correspondent writes from that
place: Some time in 1861 or 1862
Saunders enlisted in the 4th Virginia
volunteers. For several years he had
not slept ut all, so he said. But it be-
coming known directly in camp of his
pretensions, it aroused the Curl
osity of many of the men and officers,
and they set a watch upon him. L am
told by q colonel that he and many
others lost a great many nights sleep
in ~endeavoring to entrap Saunders, but
during the whole time that he remained
a member of the 4th he was never
caught asleep. He stood guard night
after night, and week after week, paid
by sleepy-headed soldiers to take their
turns, but never IA caught mapping.
He hauled coal several weeks in sue
cession, only stopping long enough to
eat and change horses, and plowed in
the field with five or six stalwart men
until he wore them out completely, but
meyer seemed to tire. During the year
1868, | think it was, he went to Phila-
delphia and was examined by the lead
ing physicians of the country. They
sat up with him in relays of five, night
and day, and kept up an almost
constant stream of conversation with
him, and at the termination of twenty
nine days discharged him with n
certificate, but could give no eXplana-
ton of this freak of nature. Many
stories of the untiring energy and
activity of this man are told, and all
agree who know him that this antipode
of Rip Van Wrinkle is the most sleepless
man they ever met.
MI. Saunders is now sc years of age,
and says that he has not known what
sleep is for eighteen years. He him
self cannot account for it, as he says
the change in physical organization
occurred within three days, and that he
never was sick in his life, and took
medicine but once, and that was when
he had a catarrh, about three years
ago. He is a hale, hearty man, and
bids fair to live many years yet. He is
conscientiously opposed TO making a
display Of himself, or no doubt would
long ago have been before the public as
one of the human curiosities of the
world.
