A Burning Bath.

A young man named Godfried Heider, of
Johnstown, Pa, met with a horrible acci-
dent In the converting department of the
Cambria Steel Works recently. Mr.. Hell
der was employed on the converting plat
form In the steel works, having charge of
tho metal troughs which lead from the
cupola to the converters; and while passing
from one vessel to another, over a plank
which was stretched across the pit under
meath the stack, laid there for the convent
ence Of the workmen in repairing the con-
verters, mass Of white hot "skuli" metal
about twenty feet long, from three to four
inches thick, and weighing nearly two tons,
having become detached from the brick work
by cooling came crashing down upon him
from the mouth Of the stack, breaking the
plank on which he stood, and precipitating
him face downward to the bottom Of tho
pit, when the mass separated into two
pieces, one Of which, weighing about a ton,
fell on him, completely covering him from
his head to his feet. While number of
his follow employees were collecting about
him with crow-bars, etc., preparatory to
making an effort TO release him from his
frightful situation, those who stopped down
and looked under the mass of metal could
see that lie was enveloped in bright flame,
and witnessed his agonizing efforts to escape
while every movement Of his arms, legs
or body only increased the horrible torture.
In moment or two, which must have
seemed an ago to the imprisoned man who
was slowly burning up before the eyes Of
his friends, they got their bars underneath
the ''skull" and pried 1t up about foot,
and he was dragged forth-a mass of hiss
Ing, seething flesh. Every vestige of cloth
ing was burned from his body, with the
exception of his heavy shoes; the hair Of
his head was scorched of; his body from
hts head to his feet was one huge raw
blister, and his left thigh had been broken
by the fall, the bone protrrding several
inches. II wasa horrible sight, from which
strong men turned away with a shudder.

Tie Musk-Ox.

The musk-ox measures only about five
and half feet from the tip of the nose to
the root Of the tail, closely approaching in
size the smallest of Highland cattle, but Is
much stouter in proportion and more COM
pactly built, the structures differing in the
shortncss and strength of the bones of the
neck and length of tho dorsal processes
which support the ponderous head. The
weight is usually greatly over estimated by
travellers and writer's, being placed approx.
imately at 500 pounds; 800 pounds would
probably be nearer the weight Of the largest.
This error Is doubtless due to the apparent
size of the animal which owing to the huge
mass Of wooly hair with which 1t Is covered,
has given rise to the common statement
that IT rivals In size the largest English bull
locks. The outer hair or fleece is long and
thick, brown or black in color, frequently
decidedly grizzly, and prolonged to the
knees, hanging far below the middle of the
leg Underneath the shaggy coat, and GOV.
ering all parts OF the animal, though mucl,
the heaviest upon the neck and shoulders,
,is found q fine soft wool, of exquisite tex
ture, OF blueish drab or cinerous hue,
capable Of being used in the arts and oi
forming the most beautiful fabrics. e

The old Basln.

VIM. Hemphile Jones, Esq, who i.
now on a visit to our city from Wash
ington, was member of the City Coun
Gil when the largest Of the two basins
now being demolished for the erection
of the New Court House, was construc
ted. They had very hard time to gel
it built as 1t met with great opposition
from those living in the lower part o.
the city. They were we'll supplied
with water and therefore opposed the
erection of new basin, on account o.
the expense. Whilst those who lived
in the upper part of the city, and were
very short Of water, were extremely
desirous Of having it constructed. Al
length through the influence of Mr.
Townsend, then dry good merchant
and very influential member of the
City Council, who carried on business
near the corner of Third and Market
streets, the ordinances passed council fol
its construction and the basin was or.
dered to be built.
Mr.. Townsend was member OF the
Down Town Party, and the change Of
his vote gave the power that caused its
erection. This Mr.. Townsend was the
father of the Mr.. Townsend, who was
so long (under the early Democr attic ad-
ministration Of the city,) Superinten
dent of the Water Works. Mr.. Jones
was one of the most active. of the Up
Town Party, in getting the basin con
structed, and now about fifty years at
ter it was built (being the only mem
bsr of Council, we believe of that term
living) he witnesses its construction.

Cary, he said, had found that, in
stead Of handing over the National
Party to Ewing, he was only able to
deliver himself. Gen. Piatt was severe
in his denunciatiou of Ewing saying
that in casting his vote for Speaker
Randall he had given the Nationals to
understand that he was not to be de-.
pended upon. In regard to which Of the
other parties the Nationals will draw
from most heavily, he said: 'In all
sections of the State, with the excep-
tion Of the Western Reserve, We shall
draw more from the Democratic ranks;
but In Northern Ohio We shall make
heavy gains"

Why should we not have the benefit OF

Amongst the old Delaware Land
holding families are the McKees from
whom McKee's Hill near this city in
Brandywins Hundred is named. Last
evening George w. Dorsey, ESQ.,, called
upon Francis Vincent, our City Treasu-
rer, to inquire if he could find out what
company Mr.. Andrew Mckee, who
fought in the war of 1872 was enlisted.
He supposed that it was Captain Leon
ards company and without this infor-
nation it would be very difficult if not
impossible to get the pension for his
widow, most estimable lady now liv-
ing in this city. Mr.. Vincent had
amongst his books an old pamphlet
published during that War that con
tanned the names of those who entered
our State to defend Delaware.
Upon examining it he found in
few minutes the name Of Mr.. Andrew
Mckee, who, instead Of belonging to
Captain Leonard's company was the
fourteenth soldier in the Philadelphia
Blues, being body of Philadelp phia
gentlemen who united themselves in a
company and were encamped near this
city during the time the British fleet
were in the bay and river.
This infOrmrtion insures this most
excellent old lady her pension. 1t also
shows what use there is sometimes in
an old document. This is the fourth
pension that has been obtained through
this old document of Mr.. Vincent's for
