A car SAVES FIVE LIVES.
The Noisc OF a kidaisht ProwIer Awakrus \
Lady sound Asleep in Burning iIou.e.

A Boston special says An interest
ing fact connected with the mysterious
burning of the residence of Mr.. Fred
crick Reed. of bingham, at | O'Clock
Thursday morning, is that the lives OF
five persons were saved by the timely
warning of danger given by the family
cat. Miss Lillian Reed, All eighteen-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. Reed, was sleep
ing in chamber directly beneath the
windows of which was the roof Of a
porch. At O'Clock this morning Miss
Lillian was SuddcRly awakened by Il
load mewing and scratching outside her
window. Startled from her sleep. she
heard the cracking OF flames and saw a
ruddy light beneath her door. Already
the room was partly filled with smoke.
Rushing into an adjoining chamber and
snatching from his bed her little bro
ther, the girl flew in her night-clOthes
down the front stairs, crying. Mother
mother the house is aiirc "
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed and their infant
child were asleep in a chamber on the
ground-floor. They sprang from the
bed, and, hastily seizing blanket from
the bed and throwing il around the
child, they fled from the burning house
into the snow outside. The weather
was bitter cold, and so brief was the
warning given that they had no time to
dress. In leaving the house Mrs. Reed
fell upon the ice and received severe
confusion Of the spine, from which she
iS suffering to-day.
Sbivcring in their night-clotheS, the
helpless family watched the rapid pro-
grcss of the flames. which soon enycl-
oped the whole building and burned it
TO the ground. The boy Charlie had
one foot badly frozen, and the others
suffered terribly in their semi-nude con-
ditioD. the mercury being only six above
zero. Had not Miss Lillian been
awakened in time by the cat. the family
could hardly have escaped with their
lives.

tcsrrupondencc OF the Richmond Dispatch J
OxANcocR, February 20, 1855.
During the past week the tides along
eur Atlantic coast were the highest in
many years. The roaring Of the sea
was 80 loud that il could be heard oil
ever the Peninsula. Asyet no damage
10 shipping has been reported.
Seven dredgcrs came to 0nancock
several days ago in a sorry plight.
They were thinly clad, and some OF
them had black eyes and Scared faces.
They stated that Captain +. 6. Evans,
Of the schooner Cornelius Vanderbilt,
On which they had been working, had
refused TO pay them and then assaulted
them. These charges are contrsdicted
by reliable persons, who say that the
sredgers mutinied and Captain Evans
put hem ashore, where they engaged
IN free fight among themselves. Cap
tain Evans paid the men off yesterday,
and they left on the steamer for Bslti-
more.
Considerable speculation has been
caused on the Eastern Shore by a mys-
terious visit Of prospecting party Of
engineers who went down to Cape
Charles the early part Of the week, and
under the direction Of skilful pilot
made soundings in the bay and also in
large pond covering nearly fifty acres.
Rumors have been afoat that another
railroad would be built down the penin-
sula 10 serve as q feeder TO the Balti-
more and Ohio system, and thus divert
to Baltimore the trade Of this pros
porous section, which since the COM
pletion Of the New York, Philadelphia,
and Norfolk railroad, has been drifting
20 the cities for which the railroad is
named.
Mr.. Abel J. Bird, prominent citi-
zen Of this county and member Of the
Democratic County Committee. died Of
paralysis, near here, few days ago, in
the sixty first year Of his age.
The Martha Washington tea-party at
ihe Courthouse last Tuesday night was
a signal success. Ex-State-Senator
Abel T. Johnson appeared in all his
glory as George Washington. The
costumes Of all the characters were
striking, and the scene will be long re-
membered as one of the most brilliant
social events of this section.
Harry Custis, whose untimely death
nom an overdose of morphine has been
reported, was the third and only son Of
Hon. William H. b. GUSTS, well known
in Virginia as a member Of the Seces-
sion Convention. Mr.. Curtis is at pre-
sent clerk of Accomac County Court.
II is charged here that the Demo
cratic County Committee is transcend
ing its powers in the matter of control
ling Federal appointments. Much dis
satisfaction is expressed. and the recent
action of several parties is condemned
as highly detrimental to the harmony
Of the party.
During the high-tides on the bay-side
this week large numbers Of muskrats
were driven from their holes, and the
boys had lively fun shooting them. Our
epicures consider them a great dellcacy
for the table.
Last night brought us snow, and the
Seyerest wind Of the season is now blow

WAsHINGToN, II. c., February

concluded by a fine display Of fire
works at night IN the monument

tracted by the sight, and it seemed
as though the entire population OF
the city had turned out TO do
honor TO the occasion. The grounds
ard streets leading thereto were
thronged with people, and the road
way around the monument was
packed with carriages Of all descrip-
tions. Many prominent persons were
in attendance at the grounds. II was
good-natured crowd despite the keen
ness of the atmosphere, and almost
every piece WAS greeted with cheers Of
admiration. The President and mum
Der OF invited guests. including several
Cabinet officers, viewed the scene from
windows Of the White House. The
south windows of the State and Treasury
Department buildings were also utilized
as points of observation by large nun
Der Of persons. The display consisted
of fifty set pieces and lasted from \
to Q o'clock. II opened
WITH 4 NATIONAL SALUTE
consisting of aerial moroons fired from
mortar and exploding with loud re-
port at a height Of 800 feet, and closed
with a representation Of the Temple Of
Liberty, including an equestrian statue
of General Washington and figures
representing Columbus and the tod
dess of Liberty. There were several
other set pieces appropriate to the o.
casion, but the display consisted main
ly Of bombshclls, rockets, bal
looms. fountains Of fire, bouquets,
and lights of all colors. The
scene was brilliant at times. Telescope
rockets we're exploded at All altitude of
COO feet. and discharged showers of
smaller rockets over the apex OF the
monument, making it appear as though
the shaft was robed with fire. The
outline of the monument was clearly
defined against the dark background,
and 80 mngniGed that it seemed to
pierce the sky.
