FEABm ACCIDENT IN ST. LOOTS. A Clltild Acrobat FallaTrom a Trapeie in a I'Ucatre. The St. Louis Democrat of tho 12th gays: The daring feats of a young girl known as Mile. Zagrino, who is only about fourteen years of age, have for some time excited the wonder and admiration of the habitues of the Varieties theatre. That a girl so youthful, handsome, and seemingly artless, should at tempt and successfully perform feats on the flying trapeze which older performers wore afraid to undertake, inspired tho'spectators with enthusiasm that often broke forth in the wildest applause. Mounted upon a bar hang ing twenty-five feet above the floor, this beau tiful child would balance herself, with arms outstretched and a smile upon her face, and then Swinging in long oscillations, stand upon one foot, looking more like a creature of the oirthnna being of the earth. So dangerous did her performance appear, that many per sons predicted that she would fall and break her jieck. . Last night the prediction came very near being verified. M’He Zagrino was going through her usual trapeze performances, ana had come to that part where she stands ou one foot, with the bar in rapid motion, when she lost her balance. She attempted to grasp the bar wit limner hands, but missed it; and fell headlong upon the iloor inside of the orchestra railing, striking on iier right hand and break ing her wrist. A deep gash was also cift in her forehead and her shoulder was severely bruised. A cry of horror arose from the audience as tile girl fell, and men started up in the wildest excitement. Every cheek turned as pale as ashes, and men and women became as tremu lous as though stricken with palsy. On striking the floor near the bass viol, the girl lay still, and it was supposed that she was dead. .Her father, who hail been watching the performance from the stage, at onCe came forward, and leaping into the orchestra, lifted up. the lifeless form of Ids daughter and placed her upon the stage. She was then carried be hind the scenes and three physicians were sent for. The audience were informed that M’lle. Zagrino whs only slightly injured, and the show went on—two comic songs being next outlie programme: In a tew minutes the girl revived, and was able,to speak. She said she Felt no great pain except in her wrist, and begged the “doctors notto.disturb her. No other bones were broken except at the wrist'. Such were the statements of the ushers, but the audience were ofithe'opinion that the injuries were of a more serious nature, and considering that the tall was an unbroken one of twenty-five feet, it would be strange if severe internal injuries were not the result. Since writing the above the girl has been removed to the Everett House. The physicians report that both her wrists are broken, and that her injuries are of a serions nature. The wound on the head is quite severe. A HOBUE INDIAN. Heath of a Sioux who was the Friend or the White Han. [From the St. Pa*il(Mlmi.' Pioneer, Nov.7.] A private letter from S. J. Brown, Esq., son of Hon. Joseph B. Brown, dated Bake Tra verse, Nov. 1, giTes ns the not unexpected news of the death of John Otherday, the well known Sioux Indian, who was instrumental in rescuing sixty-two captives from the Sioux massacre of 18(2. His death occurred on the iSUh ult, of a disease called “Indian Con sumption.” The death of this somewhat noted red man, whose Indian name, was Am-pa-tu-to-koo-lta, naturally brings to mind the thrilling incidents in which he was a prominent actor. At the time of the outbreak, he was living at Yellow Medicine, and it was through him that the whites at that place first heard of the intended massacre. He imparted the startling intelli gence to Mr. Goodell, the Government Super intendent of farms at YellowMedicine,who at. once went to work and collected all the fami lies into a' large warehouse adjoining the resi dence of Major Galbraith, then the superin tendent of the Sioux Indians. When all col- Mccted, the party consisted of sixty-two souls, of whom forty-two were women and children, ami the balance men, among whom were Mrs.. Galbraith and family; Noah Sinks, now of this city, and family; Messrs.Goodeli, Givens, Patcnell, Fattden and their families, besides some six or eight other men. Tliis was on Monday following the outbreak. Toward evening of the same day they got news that the soldiers had all been killed at Bed Wood, and all hone of assistance from that quarter was cut oft'. There was hut one . chance of escape, and that was one of a thou sand. To stay where they were'wan certain death. They must fly, but where should they go? Hastily making what preparations they could, they left the warehouse and wont down the bank and forded the •river—men, women and children. When they reached the other side, Mr. Goodell pro posed going to Fort Bidgely. To this Other day objected, and stated that if the party per sisted in going tbat way he must leave them. ■He counseled going across the country to Kandiyohi Lakes and Glencoe. His advice was taken, and the entire party arrived safely at Carver, long after they had been reported massacred. During .this long, tedious and dangerous journey, Oiherday’s advice, assist ance and experience were invaluable, and no doubt were the means of saving the lives of the entire party. Otherday’s friendshipfor the whites isolated him from his people. He could not return to them again, as his life would have been for feited. He was gratefully remembered and received a liberal reward for his With; this he purchased a farm near Lake Traverse, and securing a wife, he has resided at that place until his death as above, stated.. ' SOMETHING COMING. A Column Of magnetic tight from, the Ban Stretching; Out Towards the Earth. The sun’s atmosphere,- say the scientific men, is in a highly exflited condition. A' col umn of magnetic light is Bhooting out further and further from the solar sphere, and it is now stretching out forty-five millions of miles. In other words, it has accomplished half the distance between us and the. snn! The interesting question, and one on which, perhaps, we «o not wish any more lightof this character, is: How long will it be be- ' fore it. finishes the rest; of the dis tance and bridges the gigantic ohasm between the earth and the sun ? Is it a messenger sent out to snatch us up as food for the insatiate monster that keeps himself warm by devour iug jllanets, and whoso fire-eating propensities this whole earth would satisfy for. a few days only? If so, how long will- this emissary he in reaching us, and carrying ! the globe away ns if wo were a gigantic |lump of coal for a roaring furnace ? This column of light at. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NQYEMBER IS <1869. , i nt-ervals indicates its approach by flashing and corruscating with frcsnbriJliatiey. So decided i are its effects that two astronomers, one at 1 London, the other at Oxford,: and. neither knowing the experiences of tho other, sup posed that the dark glass of their telescopes had been broken or put, out of range, so strong was the flash of golden light upon fHe vision. It Is predicted that before the end of next year this magnetic light wi|l : have got near, enough to us to make its immediate and .actual, influence upon the. earth distinctly felt. It is announced that in eonseqnenco we may expect to see phenomena that have -never been seen or known before by tbo human race. If any of our readers are therefore yet disposed, to complain of the weather and the earthquakes, let them remember that, by this time next year, they may have an entire new . line Of experiences to explain aud wwlure, in comparison with which the fitful winter and Tough, rude Autumn of to-day, may seem like a .Juno morning in Paradise, and the earth quake’s shock and lightning’s storm, a placid rocking in-the cradle with a pleasant lullaby of thunder. EVROPEAM AFFAIRS FLORENCE. Present Condition of the City. A letter from Florence describes tR present condition of that attractive city: , “A handsome villa, occupying ail imposing position, is the Villa Trollope, the house of the historian of Floronce. When. Mr. Trol lope bought the house and adjoining podera four or five years ago, the villa was even then a capital one, and from its commanding site and exceptionally convenient proximity tb Florence—it is but ton minutes’ walk and six minutes’drive from the Porta San Niccolo— was highly attractive. The villa now, how ever, is virtually a new one, Mr. Trollope having completely altered its original plan, and considerably enlarged it. Both outside and in, it is a splendid specimen of ail that taste, lavish but discriminating, can produce, uiider circumstances, it must he confessed, of the most advantageous kind. “I-moat refer to a scheme which, if carried out—aud I—am assured that there is every probability of such being the case will almost surpass in grandeur anything yet de scribed. I dare say many of your readers know the [nature or ‘lie’of the groand be-, tween the place that I have spoken of as the Piazza Michael Angelo and the back of the houses that run from the old Porta San Min iato to the Porta San Niccolo. It .is ail but perpendicular. Well, a good portion of this is to be cut out into terraces and steps, of which some idea is conveyed to our minds by the proprietors assuring us that the general result will be, on afar larger scale", simi lar to that produced by the steps that lead from the Piazza di Spagpa, in Rome, to the Trinita de’ Monti. “When 1 add that the present Borgo San Niccolo,'a most unseemly quarter—particu larly when one remembers that it forms the entrance to the city from Arezza, &c.—will entirely disappear, anil give place to a hand some boulevard, interspersed with piazzas, and that even at the present moment the new Lung Arno a Jittle further on is in process of construction, I think I shall have given you a fair idea of what alterations have taken and. are taking place on the south side of the river. “ Crossing the Arno, I may rapidly describe what has been done in the way of alteration mid improvement, by simply stating that the whole of the city wall from the old closed gate of tho Teeca Vecchia to the Porto San Gallo has come down, and detached houses, gardens, squares and boulevards, making an entirely new quarter, have sprung into existence. The Piazza Azeglio consists of houses of the first class, nearly ail let. “ Arriving at tho Porta Pinta I turned into the beautiful Protestant cemetery, and gazed once more on the resting places of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Theodosia Trollope, Wal ter Savage Lanaor, Arthur Hngli Clough, Theodore Parker, and Others whose names will not be less remembered by posterity be cause they are associated with the city of flowers. Like the Protestant cemetery at Rome, it is still a place to make one half in love with' death. But whoever would be buried there must make haste to (lie. It will be closed on the Ist day of 1870.. “The government, In closing it, is ready to give another plot of ground, at the ‘Due Strade,’ about a mile or so from the Porta Romana, quite the other side of Florence, to gether with a iump sum of 15,000 francs. Tho gift, however, is to all Protestant communi ties in common. The place is nothing like so lovely as that where stands the old cemetery; but affectionate care, guardian cypresses, a climate that makes funeral roses grow like marriage ones, will soon transform the new G oil’s acre into a spot where one will be able to exclaim, ‘How beautiful is death! ’ ” SCOTLAND.

The venerable and beloved citizen named above died this morning, after a protracted illness, at the qge of eighty-one. The present generation ,ot our city will remember Inin only as the mild-looking white-haired Christian’ gentleman, conspicuous in every good work and deed of benevolence, but.old men among us call him to mind as one of the most con spicuous figures in the stormy party times of forty years ago. His dying moments were peaceful and. quiet, he retaining consciousness to the last. Until 12 o’clock last night he slept very welt, hut after that seemed more restless. He awoke shortly before sunrise this morning, and requested that the blinds of his room be opened, in order, that he might see the sun rise, the sight of Which he seemed to enjoy. About 8 o’clock he began to breathe hfiavier, audit was evident that the end was near. His family were gathered around the bedside, of whom he toox affectionate leave, and ex pired about 8.30 o’clock, his last audible words feeing “ Joy! Joy!” When he first awoke this morning he seemed somewhat confused, evidently think ing that he was about to start on a journey, as he cautioned his .daughter, Mrs. Stickney, to hasten with the packing of the trunks or they would be late for the train- He soon brightened up, however, and was perfectly co'nscious until the last. He has been entirely resigned for several weeks past, having taken leave of his family about three weeks ago, and constantly prayed that the Lord would soon call him home, though begged for grace to be resigned until it should be the will of Almighty God to take him. Mrs. Stickney, approaching his bedside yes terday; asked him if all was clear? To which he replied, “ Yes, yes, all is clear; all is clear,” Mr. Kehdall has been in had health for some time past, and very infirm. He caught cold while on a trip to the Adirondacks, which was followed, on his return to Washington, by a sort of bilious fever, but the main causo oi' his death seems to have been® from ex haustion of the digestive organa and the effects of old age. SIiaHAB SATCBAt PHENOMENA. The Ice-Caves of Washington Territory. A writer in the November number of the Overland. Monthly describes “The Ice-Oaves of ■\Vashington.Territoiy “These caves are channels in the . basalt, through which the latest flows of melted mat ter passed. The phenomenon of a stream of lava, walled and roofed with congealed mate rial of the same character, may he observed at almost any active volcano. 1 have seen it oh th(S sides of Vesuvius during a quiet eruption. If the source of such a strefam is suddenly choked, the lava will continue to flow for some distance, protected from rapid cooling by the crust above, and thus a portion of the channel will be left empty. It is not difficult to recognize this process in the basalt caves of ‘Washington Territory. Tlieir , walls arc covered with the traces of the departing fluid matter, aud on their floor may be fqund masses of the congealed lava,, still fibrous from its last vain efiort to follow the current. It looks, Mademoiselle, like that piece of abortive molasses candy which you threw away in despair because it got so stiff and would not ‘puli. But whence the ice— that strange ’dweller in these homes of lire? That, also, you shall know. “ Only q few of these caverns contain ice, aud they are connected at both ends with the open air, by means of passages formed by the falling in of the crust, or the Assuring on the rocks by frost, or finally, by the gradual denudation of the surface, exposing tho ancient channels themselves. The intense re frigerating airs of winter are thusallo wed free Sassage. Alternately with these tho pcreola ng waters of the surface find their way into the caves in such small quantities that they freeze, layer upon layer, solid from the bottom; and the store of ice thus accumulated thaws slowly during tho summer. This sum mer thaw is retarded; not only by tho covering which protectstbe ice from the direct rays of the snn, but also by the fact that the molting ieh at one end of the cave, through which the summer draught enters, itself, reirigerates the ahj, and, maintains 'a freezing temperature at tho other end. “ We noted in the main ioecave, which we explored, a decided difference in the degrees of thaw at different points. This difference was due to the cause albove mentioned; and I had the honor to determine it by sliding unin tentionally down aglacial stalagmite and ob serving practically the degree of moisture upon itsaurtace. The popular report that as fast as ice is xeuio ved front The cave if continually and at air seasons forms’ again, is without foundation. Th£ aihouut of it in the cave AMOS KENDALL. Bis Last Hoars. f From the Washington Star, Nov. 12.1 Ik not very great,though ;i* yet undetermined; and-what there is, perpetually, though slowly, a'jihteh away. The main body of ice has a level surface, indicating subterranean drainage’ at a certain point, above which water does not remain in the cave. There are a few stalac tites, and still more numerous stalagmites, here—and there. One of these is a superb, transparent hillock, nearly rising to the roof, and christened the -iceberg. If ore I took my slide. “ The entrance used by the ice-miners is the opening in the roof already alluded 10. At tills point tin; channel turns at, right angles, and thissharp turn loft the roof with less sup port, so that it fell in. We followed the. cave more than two hundred feet in one direction from thiS entrance, and perhaps five hundred in the other. The short arm of it contains most of the ice, and the long arm simply reaches out through fallen rocks and rubbish to daylight. The terminus of the cave in the other direction was reached by tliejtour ist, who, being a small man and an ambitious, hateheted his way over the iceberg and crawled out of sight into a fissure beyond, from the depths of which his voice was pre sently heard, announcing that it was‘too tight a fit’ for him to go lartlier. Tableaux: Tourist in the hole, triumphant; writer perched on the iceberg, curious, but cautious; portly Portlander, halt-way to the entrance, resolving to have that hole made bigger when the hotel is built; aud veteran at the entrance, not caring a straw. This is the way in which such explorations are usually conducted. “The dimensions of the cavern are not large. It does not exceed thirty feet in width, nor (at present, with the bottom full of ice and fallen fragments of basalt,) twenty in height.

THE THOMAS CONCERTS. —A well-known musical amateur of this city writes to us as follows: " The fluent person who tells the readers of the Frets that the quality of the music furn ished by Mr. Thomas’s Orchestra did not please him, must be a happy man. He, evi dently, still retains the illusions of youth. To him-“ Captain Jinks” must bo a thing of joy, and “Eip, slap, set ’em up again” has not lost its freshness. These airs have, indeed, much in their favor.. They can bo wjhistled. There are two or three boys in our city who do whistle them and who most delight in piping them when we want to go to sleep. This critic complains that all the music Mr. Thomas furnished was classic. May vie be permitted to correct him '.' Strauss’s waltzes and polkas are not classic. They are simply the best orchestral dance music that has ever been written, and they w;ere therefore, no doubt, produced. Nor. should Thomas be ' abused for putting classical music on his pro grammes. He desired to show that his or chestra could play every kind of music to per pectiou. Very few orchestras can do justice to Wagner, and fewer could, after playing the” Tannliiiuser overture, delight musical people with a Beethoven allegretto. Schumann is also classical, and his “Triiumerei” was played. Does the young man ot the Press know what “Traumerei” means? And if he does, did he ever hear a better description ot day dreamings? Mr. Thomas is not ill-natured, and might consent to play “popular music.” But wbete could he produce it ? The proprietors of Con cert B all and of the Academy would object to the cracking of the festive peanut by the au dience, ana without such accompaniment even “Captain Jinks” would be taifte indeed. —Mr. Edwin Forrest will begin an engage ment at the Walnut Street Theatre to-night with King Lear.
