Terrible Calamity la New York.
A FAMILY OF FIVE PERSONS BURKED TO
DEATH.
Another of those terrible catastrophes,
the burning of m orowded New York tenement
house, is announced. A tour story
tenement house, No. 188 Avenue A, on
the oorner of Thirteenth Street, New York,
was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning
about 1 o'elock. Tho building was occupied
by several families. Thu family of
Cornelius Rottiger, consisting of himself,
his wife and three daughters, aged respec
tively eight, ten and Bixtccn, were occupying
tho third story, and fearing to leap
from the windows, were all burned to
death, being found lying together in one
group, their remains baked to a crisp.
Another family of five persons, named
Hartz, and a son, Edward Hartz, missing
tho bed in their fall, were so severely in?
jured that their lives were dispared of.
From the detailed accounts of this calami
ty, as published in the New York papers,
| we take the tallowing :
A citizen saw a man holding a child out
of the window on the fourth floor of the
burning building as though he was about
to throw it dowu. He was hallowed to
and told to hold on until they could get
some ladders. These were not readily
procured at that early stage of the fire, so
the citizen shouted to the man to throw
down some bedclothes, which he did. Four
ineu then grasped these bed covers, at.d
the man who subsequently proved to be
Mr. Huuz, careiuiiy dropped his daughter,
Cutherine, aged 8 years, she being
caught in safety by those below. Ilartz
then threw out bis eons, Edward, 9 years
of age, and Adolph, aged 4 years, both ot
whom were caught, but they sustained
severe injuries. The police having pro- 1
cured a bed, the father then threw out his
little daughter Amelia, 2 years of age, who
was slightly bruised. Mrs. Catherine <
| Hartz was the next to follow, the parents
| having witnessed the comparative safe dc
; scent of their children. The husband <
seized the wife by the wrists, and lowering <
K? -- C ' - 1
uci un hii oh pu?Hii>ie nis outstretched i
arms, let her lull. She struck fairly upou 1
the bed, but the weight was such that the
fall caused several scvero injurhs. ilartz
then followed his family, but ho did no*
take sufficient precaution, and ovcrle-i '
tho bed, striking heavily upon the iJewalk
and rcceiviug severe injuries Hi.shoulder
was dislocated and two of his
ribs were fractured. 1
In the meantime those living on the
second floor, who could reach the awning
of the avenue frout, jumped out, and so
reached the street in comparative safety, i
Mr. George's family and Mrs. Kopp and 1
her two daughters escaped by these means, 1
all being compelled to do so in their night I
clothes, bo imminent was their peril. The 1
Malono family all jumped out of their win
dows upon the awning, and others upon :
the beds, two of which hud been procured I
by that time* Those who jumped on the '
awning roceived severe contusions. The 1
Growve family all sprang from the fourth 1
, story windows on the avenue front, light
ing or. the awning, which broke their fall 1
| and lessened the extcut of their injuries.
[ One or two persons leaped from the fourth
story windows on the Thirteenth street
side, and were received in safety on tho 1
bedding.
The cry of "Save those people up stairs" <
was then raised, and the ladders were surrendered
fur thut purpose, but it was too
late, as the flumes had mounted aim--si to
tho roof, as it was supposed that all the
inmates had jumped from the numerous I
windows, the firemen carried their hose up
to the fourth floor, and poured in a torrent
of water, which soon had the effect of extinguishing
the flames. The floors of all
the three upper stories were burned to a
crisp and rendered uncato. The entire
contents of these tb*>rs were of course, i
completely destroyed.
Wonderful Waterfall.?The Pacific
Churchman, a California paper, pub '
lishes the following remarkable description
:
"The Yosemito River plunges through
n rupture ol two bald, Riant like cliffs,'
1,600 fot't at a bound. Rainbows aie ever
spanning the com.art. as the rare colored
spray a&c-iidv, or is driven by the winds. I
Tbc river is about thirty feet wide, and
in one piuco, is precipitated over immense
? t?
tsuuiuurs inio a Dusin ot rocks of several
aorcs area, from which it is driven over a
ledge into tlio valley below, in a perpen-1
diculur full of 600 feet At another poiut
of this oataruot, tho water rushos over an
inolined plane of a third of a mile?1,084
feet?making tho entire tail of 2,234 feet."
Niagara?-we write it for the sake of
contrast?in its whole descont, measures
164 feet
Everything looks liko war. There is
no reply to the notification of Prussia. It
is but a question ot hours whether the
| troops be not again put in motion.

She who sleeps upon my leart,
Was the first to win it;
She who dreams upon my breast,
Ever reigns within it; u
She who kisses oft my lips. ti
Wakes the warmest blowing;
She who rests within my arms,
Feels thoir closest pressing.
Other days than these shall come.
Days that may be dreary;
Other hours shall griet us yet,
Hours that may be weary ,
Still that heart shall be thv home. 11
Still that breast thy head shall pillow,
Still those lips shall meet thin as oft, ai
Billow mceteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my tappy heart,
Since thy love hati won it;
Dream, then, on my loyal breast? b
None but thou bait done it:
And when age our boom shall ohange,
With its wintry wsather, J*
May we, in the self tame grave,
Sleep and dream together. li

Correspondence of Charleston Courier.
From WaSilngton. 01
Reports are coming in through letters
and newspapers, representing that the y,
prospect of cotton and corn are becoming
very unfavorable. The Comn iasionsr of w
Agrioulture has, however, in his report for
the month of September, just made, esti- ^
mated upon an aualytis of elementary
statements, the cotton crop at 1,000,000. w
lie says that the promise of his last report
as to wheat will be fully sustained, and
of corn there will be mors than a thousand
millions of bushels. He congratulates
himself upou the resumption of statistical tc
relations with the South. The farm stock
of the South he estirautes as being now it
within from twenty to thirty per eent. of
the numbers for 1860, and m Texas that
that there has been an actual gain of twen h
ty per cent, in the number of sheep.
The supremacy of the United States j(
Cotton in the markets of tho world is, he
?ays, fully assured. Th" imports into ij
Foreign ports of Cotton from the United
States in the six months from January to
June, inclusive, are computed at 812G,- J
349,655 for 9o4,7U4 bales, or 84 1-2 cents
x pound, while the cotton imported from ?|
a-her countries uveruge but 27 ccuU, and i|
India Cotton but 22 cents.
