The partition where it capghti is built out from tne centre of a fanlight at the west end of the room, thus dividing the window between two apartments. One of the panes of the fanlight, it eeems, forms a convex lebs, and the son shining quite warm, and directly upon tho window, it had operated like a "sun glass," and set the dresses on fire, from whence it had common c ted to the wall. That this was the manner in which it caught any one might have ' been convinced, by holding he hand a few moments in the focus of the glass. Had it remained undiscovered a few minutes longer, it would have made work for the firemen. Hartford Courier. LOCO FOCO MATCHES. Too much care cannot be taken of theso dangerous matches.

The Northern Journals give an accooot of a tmarkable escape of a child from a panther, it Luwville, Lewis County, on the 2frrh iltimo. On the morning of that day a Mr. fcanney and his wife left their residence , ?a farm-bouse in a retired in part of the town ??in charge of a girl fourteen years old.

They followed it about forty rods to a pair of bars which separated the ' clearing from the forest, at which place the girl approached to within 15 or 20 feet of the ^anther, when it relinquished its hold of the :hild, leaped the bars and made its way , trio th" woods.

The following particulars, which we extract from the Batesville News, were written by ? gentleman of Washington county, to a friend in Batesville. "The most horrible murder ever perpetrated in a Christian country, was committed last Saturday night atCante Hill, on Mr. William Wright and four of his children. Mre. V\ right states that soon after retiring to bed, she heard the sound of horsemen approaching the house. Her timidity suggested the apprehension that they might be hostile Indians. She awoke her husband, and communicated her fears, and bbih rose. Mrs. Wright, through a crack in the door, discovered three men walk up to the door. One asked if they could stay all night. Mr. Wright replied yes, and open-d the door. The robbers at that instant seized and stabbed him to death. A daughter (perhaps the eldest) rushed out by the assassins while yet butchering her father. Mr. Wright being despatched, the fiends commenced slaughtering hi* defenceless children. They struck out the brains of a little infant on the floor, and ran their boWie knives thro' the tender bodies of three other children as they reposed in the embraces of sweet sleep. The fourth a little boy of some ten or twelve years, with a long heavy blade, the demons at a blow separated the crown from the mass of his head ?striking him into insensibility, but not into death as they supposed. Fortunately two other children sleeping in another apartment were not discovered ; also little Morris escaped their observation. This little child, of the tender agi of six or seven years only, had been placed at Ke back side of a trunnel bed; thus hiding I 4 him from the eyes of his murderers. Little Morria was awake, and with tho wisdom . of more mature years, lay in breathless stillness, eyeing from beneath the folds of the bed furniture, the strange deeds of murder, and robbery, and arson. From this intelligent child, we learned that after every eye beneath this ill-fated roof, as they supposed, had been closed in death, and every tongue silenced forever, the robbers proceeded to plunder the house of all the money, set it on fire and galloped off. Little Morris, after satisfying himself that the murderers were gone, moved from his hiding place, and commenced with astonishing intelligence to reseue all from the ruins of the rapidly advancing flames, lie ran and awoke his little sistera?and hurried them out of the burning dwelling?returned and found his wounded brother restored to cbnsciousness, his feeble strength being unequal to his weight. Morris throWed his arms around the shoulders of his almost murdered brother, and tenderly drew him beyond the influence of the increasing fire ?returned caught np the infant^ bilt finding it lifeless, gently laid it down a few paces from the door on the breart of the father. He then eskaved to return for the lifeless bodies of the 6th in; but the fire now having wrapped the door in flames, forbid bis entrance. Seeing liie angel like purpose thwarted; he with his Kttle sisters and brother sought fiuch a resting place as a houseless farm aod clear sky afford^ ed.. The daughter that escaped at the outset tobk refuge in a rye field. Mrs. Wright made her way Some mde and a half or two miles, barefooted aod in hbr night draw, to her So strong did the citizens apprehed an Indiari attack, that they tobk the precaution of placing their females at a point of safety, and Collected a tolerable force before they ventured to the scene of danger: .... J Mr. Wright was an honest andgood citizen, without an enemy in the world, and murdered for his money. The murderers are white men and not Indians?yet undetected: The whole country is aroused. May Prbvidetibe point but the perpetrators of this horrible murder." | Three of the murderers have since been arrested, and after being tried by a self-constituted jury of 80 persons, were hung on the spot. The reason assigned for this summary proceeding is that there was no jail in the country strong enough to confine the murderers, and a fear that they might escape If not immediately executed. The Canada papers contain a report that Sir John Colborne, is to be superseded in the civil government of the provinces by the Earl of Clarendon, late Minister to Spain. Sir John, it is Said had the option of remaining as commander of the forces, but will not, and intends embarking for Europe immediately after the arrival of his successor. Baltimore.?'This city has again been threatened With mob violence. The following is from the account of it furnished by the Baltimore Patriot. There was considerable excitement in portions of the city, and a largo Ciowd of people congregated in the neighborhood of the Nunnery in Aiequith-street, (Old Town,) yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the escape of one of the nuns, (sister Isabella, formerly Miss Neale, of SU Mary's county,) and of the various rumors of a more or less exciting characteriftoch got into circulation in connexion with S^ciiumstabce. / Report states that iwtdimuii 11 lift tfco mummtpy about twe.ve o'clock and applied at one of the dwellings of the. vicinity for admission or protection. These facts becoming known, a gr at crowd of people was soon attracted to the spot.

In this state of the case, the Mayor was sent 1 or; and that officer, accompanied by his police as. "st?^.repaired to the scene. By his order O# restoring qUlOt, the nun was conveyed in a carriage to Washington College, where she remains, as we learn, under medical treatment. According to the Surt, "the only cause she would assign for her conduct wavtfat she wanted to get out, though she acknowledged she was well treated in the institution " The same paper states that she hats in times past, exhibited occasiontl symntoms of mental alienation and that these symptoms have grown stronger of late yeattr!f Thb crowd, however, did not separate as was reasonably to have been expected, but continued in more or less force throughout the afternoon. In the evening, as a measure of precaution* the Mayor ordered out the City Guards io aid of the civil authority in maintaining quiet and order, and compelling obe. dience to the laws. The brigade of Guards turned out in great force, and about the time of their appearance the crowd began to disperse. : The Guards remained on the ground until slate hour in the evening, or until the Bigne bf commotion had become dissipated. tetterh were received here on Tuesday, from 'Augusta, announcing that live or six deaths had taken place in that city, within the previous twenty-tour hours, from a disease som^wjiat similar in its character, to the Vel> low Fever, and.whicb had eaused much excite, men among tee inhabitants.

Wilmington Chronicle. .. Judge Hopkinson of Philadelphia has two dogs, both of them possessing uncommon intelligence. . Oscar carries letters and newspapers frotn his masters hoiise to a friend who lives several squares distant. He barks when he reaches the house, is admitted, allows the parcel to be untied from his neck, waits patiently for an aoswer, returns home, gives no bmh?ta?a?m?s?wp?a??? tice of his arrival by barking, and it ready to go again on similar errands. Spring, the other 1 dog, is a sbort legge-; half-terrier; he possesses I memory and the reflective powers in a great 1 I degree. A lady about half a mile distant from bis master's house, being very food of aniinajs, j always uaid great attention to Spring, when ( hn was on a visit with his master or mistress. Finding this very agreeable, he took it into his ^ head to pay his visits alone. Without any j tuition, he raised himself on his hind leg* afla ] attempted to ring the bell, but all efforts cbtfld , only produce a jarring of the wires. Being an \ unusual sound, the servant within sight of the 1 bell below, went to the street door to ascertain ! the cause, and Spring rushed iii. After that, i as his visits were generally at the same hour, < the rattling of the bell wire was the signal for ' the dog's admittance. He pdid these visits 1 for several years, and was always received ( with great kindness. - About two years Ago, y on entering the bouse, he found the family , carresihg a beautiful little Italian greyhound; t and although they paid Spring the same attcri- t tion as formerly* he showed his displeasure at t the intrusiorl of the new favorite, by growling ( and keeping at a distance.
