Terrible Catastrophe at New York.
Xearlu fifty Children killed, and forlij or fifty
wounded.
One of the most lamentable oeeurr?ne<**
that we have ever been called on to record,
mok place ;i t Ward School. No. 2>, in Green
wich Avenue, opposite Charles street, ycstei
day afternoon, when nearly fifty children lost
their lives, and manv more were so severely
injured that in all probability they will not
recover We will give the facts ot the ease
at once, and as briefly as possible. The
school house is a magnificent lour story edi
fice, with a winding staircase troin the first
floor to the upper landing. This stairway is
not spiral, but is formed of short flights oi
stairs winding round a square wall. 1 lie
first or ground floor is used as a play ground
lor the scholars, and is paved with flag stones.
The second story of the building is occupied
bv the primary department ot the institution :
iii the third storv is the female department <>f
the upper school", and in the fourth story the
male department. The entrance to each ot
the school rooms is from the landings ot the
stairs. The outer side of the stairs was
•■■uarded by an ordinavy wooden bannister, of
no "Teat height, and not firmly secured at the
bottom, or where the bannisters were con
nected with the stairs. This description of
the stairwav will enable the reader better to
understand what follows. At about too
~'ciock yesterday afternoon, one ot the teach
ers in the female department, a Miss Harri
son. was taken with a fainting tit, and in
order t" her recovery she \v:is taken out into
the pa-sage way, where a cry was raised of
•' Water'. Water 1" hv one of her companions.
Tlie erv was not understood, or else the schol
ars thought the water was wanted to extin
guish fire, and tho next moment the cry of
" Fire!" was raised and spread like wildfire
through the building. In a moment subor
dination was at an end. Phe children from
the primary department rushed to the stairs,
as did also the scholars on the floor above
them. The stairway was soon fitted, and the
press against the bannisters so great that
rliev gave way, precipitating the children
over the stair- down to the ground floor. As
tli • rush increased, so did the number that
wre hurled odev the stair- into the space he
low. Two of the female teachers made an
effort to stop the children : but so great \va>
the panic that their efforts were in vain, and
thev were themselves hurried along with the
current, and despite their efforts were carried
over the -tairs into the space below. In the
upper room, the hoys' department, Mr. Me-
N'ally took his stand with his back against
the floor, and forbade any one to go out.—
Although the panic pervaded his room as
w !! as the rest of the building, yet he stood
firm, and thus succeeded in saving the lives
of manv, perhaps of hundreds, for had the
larger bovs rushed upon the stairs as did the
younger children, Heaven only knows how
iaucli more sad would have been the disaster
than it now i-. We learn that some of the
t".vs jumped out of the windows, and that
• me of them had hi- neck broken by the tall.
There were altogether in the building but tew
short of 1.800 scholars. (1,7<>0 we under
stood to be the number.) W liile Mr. Mc
\" illv remained firm at his the destruc
tion of life was goiug on below. Hundreds
on hundreds went over the stairs, until there
was a pile of hungin beings —a mass of chil
dren—eight feet square and about twelve ieet
in height. The alarm \va now given on the
outside, and the police were soon at hand and
took possession of the premises, as well as
thev could, and commenced the work of
handling out the children from their perilous
position. Those who were on top, were, ol
course, but slightly injured, but as soon as
these had been removed, the most heart-rend
ing spectacle presented itself. Some among
the policemen were fathers, whose own chil
dren were there. '1 hoy worked manfully,
and deserve all praise ; body after body was
taken out: many of them lifeless at first,
came to when they once more breathed the
fresh air. but many, alas, were beyond aid,
and death was but too plainly marked upon
their palid features. Some were injured by
the fall. a j,d lay writhing in agony ; some
moaned, while others shrieked with pain, and
others again, when released, started off for
home, apparently unconscious of the awful
scene through which they had passed. One
1 ..dieoman, Mr. Seubring, on going to the
school house was, on the instant, greeted by
the sight of Itis little girl's face: her head
was all that was visible, her body being cov
ered with those of h'r companions. Mr. S.,
urged by paternal feelings, of course, directed
bis efforts at once t<> the release of his daugh
ter. While he was thus engaged, a man
c inic up and laid hold of hint, saying, " My
.•hild is th'-re," and endeavored to take the
place on which Mr. S. stood. Finding he
could not move him, he struck at him, thus
endeavoring to displace Mr. S., and get in a
position to work more effectually in search for
his lost child. Mr. S. succeeded in rescuing
sis child, who proved to be but slightly in
jured. He said he forgave the man who
trie-k at liiin : lie knew too well his feelings
•o blame him for any act of rashness perpe
at that time. The bodies of the dead
.i id wound* I were mostly, unless claimed on
the -pot, taken to the Ninth ward station
louse, which is near the school. In a few
minute* news ol the accident spread through
ho neighborhood, and mothers came rushing
• the scene by scores, all in anguish, but all,
it tir-t, buoyed up by bone. Occasionally
• i in. tin r would re cognize the lifeless form of
i child :ts it was lifted from the mass, and
then the piercing cry of agony that would
rend the a 'ir. oh, <rod ! may it never be ours
again to hear. And now the neighborhood
\ a* thoroughly aroused, and crowds flocked
i" the scene of the disaster. Many of the
•b ad. dying and wounded, were taken to the
■-tutl .ri hou? , where the entire lodge room of
the policemen was turned into a hospital,
and their beds all used as couches for the
lead bodies of injured children. 1 his was,
indeed, a sad sight: parents, whose children
were iiii--iug, came hero to confirm their
ioi"or fears. Here might be seen a lifeless
with an agonized mother hanging over
wiinging her hands in the excess of her
"led. There was a father looking the pic
•jf -oa '\v - If b' held ihe I'U iu <•! a
loved one that he }a<l so lately parted vritli
in health, and thou further on was a family
standing round the bed of a little one, whose
painful writliings gave evidence of the pa
tient's sufferings. One after another the
bodies of the dead were removed ; and at
length litters were provided, and the wounded
were carried away also. It was a sad even
ing in the .Ninth Ward. Nearly one hundred
families either mourned the loss of children,
or watched anxiously over the forms of the
Wounded. The catastrophe was almost the
only topic of conversation. Small knots ot
men stood on the corners of the streets, and
recounted the occurrences of the afternoon.
.V pall seemed to have settled on everything,
and all Greenwich village was in mourning.
The New York Tribune makes the
killed 17 in number and the wounded 29.
Manv of the latter will hardly survive, or

CALIFORNIA'S DKSTINY. —HAGUE, the

can see as far into a millstone as anybody
else, savs in his Horoscope, " I have cast
the Horoscope for the ratification of the
Constitution of California, and for the in

State, and 1 can assure President Fillmore,
that before he quits the chair he now fills
as the Chief Magistrate of this Republic,
that the government of California will tot
ter to its very foundation, the people of
that State will become greatly excited, and
violently oppose the constituted authorities
—indeed, peace and harmony need not be
looked for in that quarter until past 1857,
if then. During 1852 and 1853, events
will happen that will cause the rulers at
Washington to believe my present astrolo
gical predictions. SATI KN, who signifies
