II [fr'rom the Franklin (Dtalawre Co., N T . Y ) Visitor,]
| rive Children Burned to Death.
I perhaps one of the most awful and hcnrt-
Iriding casualties taat erer happened in our
ponnty occurred near Davenport Center last
pritUy evening. Mr. Robert a farmer,
resiJi'ig near the village, together with his wife
weu t ia the afternoon to visit some friends liv
,rrat a distance of three or four miles, leaving
g t home six children. Two of the boys had
l, ee! i making shingles, in one apartment of the
house that afternoon, and it is supposed when
they retired for the night that they left shav
es around the stove, from which originated
the tire. The house being situated at -some
from any other dwelling, the.fire was
n ot discovered until it was about consumed.—
five of the children, three boys and two girls,
were literalty burnt to ashes. One of the boys
sleeping up stairs, jumped out of a window
and escaped unhurt. It is said that so com
pletely did the flames do their work of destruc
tion that a half bushel would contain the frag
ments of bones gathered from the whole dead.
The oldest of the children, was a young lady
of about eighteen years of age ; the rest were
fom fourteen to eight. They undoubtedly did
i,ot awake to a sense of their terrible situation
until perchance their couches were enveloped
in the II lines, and then were suffocated in a
few moments by the smoke. This must lie a
crushing blow to these parents, bereft of their
dearest earthly comforts- Who can paint their
anguish and sorrow ; O, when shall we learn
to be more cautions and careful about fire 1
A SICKLES AFFAIR IS WARRED, PA. —On
Monday evening this town was the scene of
one of those criminal affairs which tend to ex- :
cite men's minds to the highest pitch. As the
whole affair is to bs investigated in Court and
there appears to be no attempt to conceal the
names of the actors in it, we will give a brief
account of what took place. Mr. Win. Whit
ney, a man quite extensively known as a lum
berman, residing in Kenzua township in this
county, had for come time past reason to sus
pect the constancy of his wife. The supposed
paramour was a man in the employ of Mr. W.
named Nelson Luce. Mr. W. was convinced
that, these parties had indulged their criminal
tastes, but as he emphatically expressed it, al
though he "knew it, he could not prove it."—
A plan was laid ; Mr. W. pretended to start
on a visit to Elrnira, X. Y., to begone a week
or two ; Mrs. Whitney being informed that a
package containing SI,OOO would be received
ut the Express office in Warren.which she rr n-t
take out Instead of going to Elmira.Mr W.
comes to Warren, where he lias rem lind since
Friday last unobserved. Monday afternoon
Mrs. W. accompanied by Luce arrived in town
stopping at the Carver Ho re. The package
of money had not arrived, (and Mr. W. does
net expect it,) > and the couple concluded to
stop all night. I >y special request of Luce
they secured " adjoining rooms "and retired to
their apartments quite early. The denouement
of it was, that about 1) o'clock Mr. W. with
a party of friends, sndd -illy burst into Mrs.
W roo n, where the enraged husband hid <<c
riilar evidence of his wife's infidelity. The
philty paramour was very roughly handled,
and his cries of murder soon brought a crowd
to the scene of disturbance. His wounds were
dressed by a physician and he was lodged in
jail to awa't an investigation of the charges
preferred against him. A summons in divorce
has also been served upon Mrs. Whitney, and
it is likely that Mr. W. will have no trouble
in securing a divorce as soon as the law can
gvc it. Mrs. W. is said to be quite a good
i 'oklng woman, and is a second cousin to her
husband.
Luce had an investigation before r. Justice
on Tuesday afternoon and a commitment m ule j
oat, but he was allotVtul to give " leg bail,"and j
the last seen of liini, be was making good time '
towards " York State." Mrs W. left for the
East on the cars Wednesday morning. Sauve
ijtu pciil.— Warren Mail.
THE TRIAL OK STEPHENS, one of the Harper's
Ferry insurgents—was concluded at Charles
town, Va., on Saturday. The case was sub
mitted to the jury 4 O'clock. They retired, and
after fifteen minutes' absence, returned with a
verdict of guilty ou all the counts. The pris
oner received the verdict with mo<t perfect in
difference, and smiled at the announcement.
