TERRIBLE CALAMITY-FIvE Chill.
DREN BURNED TO DEATH.
Hartford Times, 10th.

An awful calamity occurred
on Tuesday. at Little York
Cortland county. N. Y. a
station on the Syracuse and
3inghamton Railroad, abou;
forty miles north Of Bins =
hampton. The depot builds
ing, a story and a half s1ruct~
ure, was IN charge Of Frank
Dunnigar, truckman, who
lived in a pa it with his
family. Dunnigan started {
fire in the stove, down stairs,
between 5 and 6 O'Clock in the
morning, and then went to a
barn some distance away.
He was accompanied by his
wife, while their children, five
in mum Der, were left asleep
in the upper story. Ihe'pa-
rents had been at the barn
but a few minutes when they
discovered that he upper part
Of the depot was III flames.
Both rushed into the building
and attempted to get up stairs
70 rescue their children, but
the flames had gained such
headway as to prevent the
ascent Of the agonized parents,
and the unfortunate little ones
were roasted alive. Mrs Dun
nigan was severely burned in
the face, and her husband
was compelled to use force to
prevent her from perishing
with the children, in a helps
less effort to save their lives.
The poor mother and father
could hear their little ones
calling for help, and the sit'sa-
ton was heart-rending in the
extreme. About half-past s
o'clock, when the passenger
train from Syracuse passed
Little York the depot had
burned down, and the bodies
Of four children, sEa,
burned, had been removed
from E'le ruins. The remains
of the fifth had not peen found.
The eldest Of the FIVE was but
eight or nine years old.

We beg to invite the special attention
of Dealers and Consumers to these
PAINTS. They are manufactured from
the very BEST AND CHOICEST PIG
MEINI'S. and mixed orthinncd with Only
-TEICTLT PUNE Linseed Oil and Tur-
pcntiue, and they cannot be eXcellcd in
covering capacity, Durability, fnenesS and
beauty OF finish. They will neither
chalk, flake, or peel off, and work with
perfect freedom under the brush. They
weigh from Is to IS lbs per gallon, which,
ofitscif, POSITIVELY demonstrates their
purity and superiority.
Tho various compounds known i'll IT,"
market as Chemical Paints, contain oniy
abour so per cent. of Paint; the baiai- &C
is water, introduced into the same by the
use OF an alkaii, to combine it. The
last mentioned Paints, so-called, only
weigh from 8 to 10 Tbs per gallon, which
we thnk certainly proves their lack OF
capacity or body. When water is mix
ed with Paint, it not only destroys it's
body, but, to Il very great extent, its adj
hesiveuess, which all practical men know
is of the highest importance to preserve,
in order to make durable Paint.
We think, from the statement we have
made, that LuycrS cannot fail to at ONCE
perceive that their interest will be best
promoted by buying our Liquid Paints
d. e. Pure Paints), in preference to the
so-called Paints referred to.

VINO CT AIMS TO BE ENTITLED TO TIE
GAINES ESTATE.

8: Mrs. Myra Clarke Gaines,
whose contests in the courts
for the possession of several
million dollars worth of props
erty in New Orleans, left by
Daniel Clarke, have made her
name familiar to all readers
of newspapers, has at last
found a Baltimore claimant to
at least part of what she con-
siders her property. The
story, as told by the counsel
of the claimant, although it
has about it a tinge of ro-
nance, is implicitly believed
by him, and the parties most
interested are sanguine that
the Developments made by
them will lead to important
results. The story is as fol-
lows: Miss Minnie Clarke is
a young lady about twenty>
three years of age, and earns
a livelihood by peddliug
books. Her father, who was
a Ba ptist minister in the city,
Daniel j. Clarke by name
died of yellow-tever in New
Orleans, where he had gone
to look after some property.
At about that time Miss Min
ME was born in Baltimore
Since his death his widow has
had to support he rself and two
children, a boy and daughter,
and about six years afterward
remarked, her pre- ent name
being Buckingham, and her
residence at Ellicott City. A
few days ago the young lady
was approached by a stranger,
who inq uired whether her
father, Kew. Daniel J. Clarke,
was not a Baptist minister,
and whether he had not trav~
eled in North Carolina and
other southern States while
"a clergyman. The first ques-
ton the lady answered in the
affirmative; but of his travels
she knew nothing, and said
that she would consult her
mother on the subject. Mrs.
Birmingham, after consulting
the family bible, infurmed her
daughter that her fatker had
travelled in the southern States
in the early years Of his marri-
ed life, giving places and dates
corresponding, it is said, with
the strangers questions. The
stranger, who visited the
family, and afterward also
Mrs. Buck;ngham's counsel,
then stated that he was one
of a commission who were in
North Carolina, and other
States, for the purpose of
taking testimony for the cor
poration and citizens of New
Orleans in the Gaines suit,
and while taking evidence hao
asccrtained that a son of the
Daniel Clarke whose daughter
Mrs. Gains claims to be- was q
Baptist minister, who, after
travelling in the southern
States, had finally settled in
Baltimore. Mrs Buckingham
stated that she. remembers
hearing her husband remark
that he had left home on ac-
count Of a difficulty with his
father, whom he represer, )
as a very wealthy iran, but
who had disowred him be-
cause of 8. quarrei with him
on account of the OLD IL an as
sociations. On one occasion
