twenty-five feet! In the descent, the two passenger curs
rolled over,and alighted in an inverted position. The
engine and baggage car stood upright. The Fireman,
VBHNKY GHEES, an estimable young man of Owego, see
ing the fearful leap the train was taking sprang from the
locomotive down the bank, and the baggage car rolled
upon bim, amputating one of his legs, and crushing his
body, causing instantaneous death. The conductor and j
three ladies were slightly injured. The passenger cars |
Were badly wrecked, the ends being stove in and seats
% smashed up.

CAUTION*. —In onr last paper appeared an j
advertisement headed SSOO, purporting to be from CARET
& SMITH, 321 Pearl st. New York, and offering induce
ments to agents to take orders for Tobacco. We confess
to being sold by the gentlemen in question. They are j
Peter Funks of the worst kind, and we trust that none
of our readers have been led to place any reliance in their j
representations.
flgy The Overland Mail arrived at St. Louis
on Friday, bringing news from California
Oregon, Carson Valley and the Fraser River
region. The Mail left San Francisco on the
12th ult. From Victoria we learn that the
Island of San Juan, between Vancouver's
Island and the main land, claimed by our Gov
- eminent as a part of Washington Territory,
had been taken possession of by Gen HARNEY
who had placed upon it a small body of L nit
ed States troops. Gov. DOUGLASS had issued
a protest, and had sent armed vessels and !
troops there but it was believed that the mat
ter would be compromised by a joint occupancy
of tiie Inland, until the two Governments could j
take action in the matter. The turning news
from Fraser Itiver is more encouraging. The
Indian troubles continue. A battle had been
fought between fifty troops under Maj. ARMI
STEAD and four hundred Molaves, in which
about fifty of the latter were killed. The loss
of the troops is not stated. The Paloz Indians
in Oregon are stated to be barrassing Lieut. .
Mm EX'S wagon road expedition. The citizens
of Carson Valley have declared themselves de
tached from Utah, and have framed a Consti
tution for a Provisional Government, naming
tin ir Territory Nevada. Political affairs
were in a very excited state in California.
TERRIBLE FATF. OF Six HUMAN BEINGS. —
An eye-witness gives us the horrible details of
the destruction by fire of the Steuben County
Poor House at Bath, on Sunday morning last
at 2 o'clock. The building contained quite a
large number of inmates among whom were
three or four lunatics. One of these unfortu
nate beings, over whose bewildered imagination
the destructive element seemed to predominate
collected a quantity of combustible materials,
deposited them in an unguarded crevice in the
building, and applied a lighted match. The
flames spread with rapidity and but feeble re
sistance could be offered to their progress.—
Affrighted inmates thus aroused at the dead I
hour *>f night without the slightest warning. ;
were thrown into the wildest contusion, ai d >
the unearthly yells of the lunatics mingling
with shrieks of despair, Lightened the terror of
the scene. Although the utmost, exertion
were made to save the unhappy beings, thev
were attended with but measurable success. In
spite of every effort six of them were inextrica
blyjwalled in by the flames,and the curling ele
ment slowlv burned them to a crisp ! Upon
searching for the remains after the conflagra
tion had subsided they were discovered in such
a roasted and mutilated condition, that only
one from the number could be recognized as ;
having the least semblance of a human body i
A coroner's jury was summoned, arm held an
inquest yesterday afternoon. They probably j
rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts
a- above stated — Elmira Doily I'rrss.
