Serious and Fatal Accident.
A Child Burned.--The Franklin
House in this place was the scene of a
terrible disaster on Tuesday last. A
child named Harry Johnson, aged
about 18 months, and youngest child
of Mr. Johnson, clerk in the sto^e of
Lloyd•&, Henry, whilst left to itself in
one of the upper rooms of the Hotel,
bad, by some mishap, (the particulars
of which are not known,) communica
ted fire from the store, it is supposed,
to its clothing., and was immediately
wrapped in flames. The mother, who
had been in the dining room, upon
coming to her room was surprised
and horror strickerfto fir.d her child
in this coaditidn, and, with the assis-
twice of others, drawn to the spot to
ascertain the cause of the smoke
issuing from the window of the
room, endeavored to extinguish the
flames, which they did, alas, but too
late, for, it is supposed, the child's
clothes were burning for some time,
and had consumed the greater por
tion of them, the fire having commu
nicated to the , body, bUrning it so-
verely in several places, and some of
the flames it is beliered,'lul been in
haled by the child, which tended to
cause its death, after painful suffer
ing, at two o'clock the next morning.
It was buried on Thursday last, and
followed to the cemetery by many of
the sympathizing friends of the be
reaved.
This accident is a caution to moth
ers not to leave their helpless little
ones, under any circumstance, in any
place of danger, but to always . keep
watchful eye on their curious actions;
for if you do not, you may have to
bitterly rue the consequences of your
neglect.
A. W. Benedict, Esq., Caned
The - Legislature adjourned on
Thursday last, to meet again in Au
gust. An hour previous to the ad
journment, Mr. Benedict and other
officers were presented with gold hea
ded canes by the members who claim
to be Democrats. Mr. Benedict has
made a very popular Chief Clerk—all
parties in the House agreed that his
place could not be filled by a better
man. We shall find room in our next
issue for the remarks of the gentle
man presenting the cane and Mr. Ben
edict's reply.

This makes a deficiency of 423 in
the county under the three calls for
700,000 men. There will be a credit
given for about 200 men, our propor
tion of veterans credited to the State
at large, leaving about 250 men to
be drafted ; each township will receive
a pro rata credit of these 200 mon, les
sening the above deficiencies propor
tionately. The Board will receive vol
unteers up to day of draft, and credit
them to the respective townships.
Borough Officers.
The borough fathers, at a meeting
on Friday evening last, elected the
following gentlemen to servo the en
suing year : Borough Treasurer, W.
A. Saxton ; Town Clerk, Peter C.
Swoope; Street Commissionor, John
C. Miller.
The Draft
present bur readers with a cor
rect report of the excess and deficien
cies of quota in the different boroughs
and townships of this county, obtain
ed from the office of the Provost Mar
shal Many of the townships which
worked with energy to free themselves
from the uncertainty and dread occa
sioned by the draft, have, nevOrtheless,
not even filled up their quota; out are
on the deficient list. As volunteers
will be received up to the day of draft.
they have still an oportunity to show
their patriotism and avoid the draft
ing of nay 01 their Citizens. But, alas
for those townships which haye shown
themselves indifferent as to whether
the draft came on or not. How do
they feel, with the fact glaring them
in the face that the draft will come
Their quota, must seem large, but, not
withstanding it must he filled. Such
is the fruit of procrastination, and of
an unpatriotic spirit. We do not tl,i ,k
that these townships will be so unwise,
after all the lesson of experience taught,
as to resist, the draft; but wo will say
they are most heartily opposed ti its
enfin•cement, and dread it with a hor
ror inilescribable.

the duty thus devolved upon me, I
have appointed you as ono of that

greater will be the good produced.
Allow ino, earnestly, to entreat that
you present this subject to the atten
tion of all pupils in anywise within
the scope of your jurisdiction or influ
ence, bearing in mind, that the cause
in hand is to aid those bravo men who
have left their hoMes and families and
gone forth to ender() the perils and
privatimis of a soldier's life, that we
might be protected in our properties
and lives, and that our National exis
tence might be preserved.

Measures within your County as you

warded according to the directions
herein given.

God, our country depends in this hour
of trouble. Lot the teachers consider
themselves as members of a committee
