Fastened Upon Blazing Hearth-A Man
 Perfshes Before the Eyes of His Help
 less Sister.
 LOUISVILLE, Feb. "A special from Owensville says: George Pierat a bachelor, aged 77 years, and his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Goodpastor, lived together some five miles from the city. Mrs. Goodpastor has been paralyzed and unable to get out of her bed. On Thursday evening Pierat had got in his wood for the night and morning, and before retiring started to throw on his backlog to build up the fire. He lifted the log, and in throwing it on the fire fell with it, and, being unable to rise, he was burned to death. His sister was lying on the bed, un- able in her condition of health to get to him or render him any assistance. At last, by an almost superhuman effort, she got out of bed and dragged her brothers body out of the fire, and managed to get back into bed, and there was obliged to lie, unable to turn over, with her brothers dead body in full view. Nothing was known of the affair until Satur- day, when Mrs. Goodpastor's son, who lives near, stepped into the door, and there in bed lay his mother, while on the hearth was the body of his uncle, badly buIned, and with his eyes, nose, cheeks, ears and a portion of the neck eaten by cats. Mrs. Goodpastor had never closed her eyes during the whole night"

The majority was in favor of the resolution, and in order to prevent it's passage the minority fiibus tered by withholding their votes. It looked at one time as though there would be an all- night session, as both sides were determined. After there had been several votes and roll calls Mir.

Robbed While Asleep-A Peculiar Piece of
 Work by Burglars.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Marcus Marsop, of 526 Eighth avenue, reported an outrageous and remarkable robbery at his residence to the police this morning He said he was awakened about o'clock by his four-year- old daughter, and immediately perceived a peculiar odor in the room. Turning to his sleeping wife, he was astonished to find her bound hand and foot. He at once suspected robbery. and found the contents of the bureau in the room scattered about the floor His gold watch and chain and diamond stud and about $250 in money were missing.
Morning journal and courier., 1881-02-08

Marsop then went to call his servant, Kate Halfick, and found her in an adjoining de- pertinent bound in the same manner as his wife, with the addition of cloth tied across her mouth.
