THTJUSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1860.
A deep gloom bas suddenly fallen
on the people of this community. The
llfv J G Tuomas, the Mcthodi-t Epis
copal Minister of this place, died about 1
o'clock, this (Wednesday) after noou,
ged 30 years 2 month and 9 days.
Mr. Thomas appeared to be as well a;
usual, up to a few minutes before bis deab
He rode out, on horseback, in the fore
noon, as was his custom, tie eat rather
a hearty dinner, and i-oon after went ur
stairs, when he stooped to mako fire,
blood vessel on his lungs or treaehea
bur&tcd, from the effects of which he died
within ten minutes.
In the midrt of life wo are, indeed, in
death. He was a man whom none knew
but to biyhlv resneet and esteem, and
none was more highly and kindly regar
ded by all christian sects, than he.
The loss of him wo all deeply lament
He wa- indeed an e-timalle christian
and none could meet him in the discharge
of his ministerial duties, without being
impressed with the high cause which he
ably represented, eloquently advocated
and forcibly illu-trated in lis daily walk
Death is always a messenger of sadness,
and doubly so wheu his subject is a per
con arouud whom our affections are en
twined. The widow bas lo.-t a kind, affection
ate, and exemplary husband; and the or
phans a good, worthy and iudulent fa
ther. But none have been taught more
thoroughly than they, that there is a
buaud for the widow and a father for
the fatherless, who ever abidetb with
tbem.
He was a man of no ordinary literary
acquirement, and as regards talent, maj
be clas-ed with the Or at.
The body will be taken to North East,
Maryland, for iuterment.

Mr. Mason, of Va., one of the Demo

made a speech, tbe other day, bitterly
denunciitory of the white laborers of the

employed as coachman, footmen, ect., wbo
are mostly of Irish birth. He wound up
by proposing to give a new nomenclature
to tbe Northern States by calling then.
"Servile," as a setoff tor tbe term "Slave,"
applied to the Southern States. He pro
nounced all tbe white la orers of th
North "servile' the subject servants ot
those who employed them, and extolled
uejjro-laborers as being every way snpe
rior to them. We were a little astonished
to read such a tirade from a leaeing Dem
oorat, because tbe class of men thus de
nounced as ase and servile, constitute
the great bulk of the Democratic voter.

an aspirant for the Pre-ideney, and may
hereafter have occai-ion to regret hi

In tbe saae supercillioua spirit Sena

democrat, in tbe course of a recent speech,
tells the Northern free white laborer-,
that their condition would be improved
by changing situatiens with the negro
slaves at tbe South, who, he says, "occu
py a higher position morally, socially, and
physically, than any other laborers on the
globe!" If the po-itioo of the slave be
higher, that of tbe tree laborer must be
lower. How do the laboring men of th

made the investigation.
Fifty two persons are yet immolated in

BREAKING OUT OF THE FIRE.
About 9 o'clock a fir broke out from
the engine room at tbe South end of the
building, and soon spread over the whole
ruin. 1 be scene now vas bcart-sicken
n?. Conscious of the torturing death
which awaited tbe unfortunate whosj suf
ferins had not been euded by death, the
bvstauders were unable to afford them
any relief. A few more bodies were got
out, but only a few, after the flames had
bb un to rage. 1 he groans ot sunerers
causeo! indescribable anguish id the heart
ot all arouud, and to them were added
the frantic appeals of some who knew they
were gazing on tbe Junerai pue 01 reia
tives and friends, to whoca 00 suocor was
nohlft. An alarm was sounded, the
firemen nromnlr manned tbe machine
nd made everv effort to extinguish th
r
flames. But the copious streams of wa
ter dashed over tbe hissing ruing could
only prolong tbe miseriesof those beneath
On my last visit to the place (! o clock)
the fire had not been entirely extinguish
ed, thougn tbe work of excavation had
hi en resumed.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF AN OVERSEER.
Anions the sufferers in tbe rum at the
time the firo broke out was Maurice Pal
mer, an overseer. He was much beloved
by bis friends, and while the digging was
joing on bis voice wns recognized. He
wa- nearly reached when the flames broke

quickly or be should die. Tbey struggled
to reach him, but the names swept around
theui. He was confined and could cot
resist tbem. As tho beat of tbe fire be-
tan to be felt bis horrible death seemed
inevitable. He w able to move one
baud and drew bis knife, saying be should
commit suicide rather than burn to death

the effects of the injuries received by bis

within tbe fallen walls.
THE SCENE AT THE CITY HALL.
The ball of tbe city government buil
ding wa used as a hospital for such ot
the wounded as it was deemed neoesary
to convey tbither. Mattresses lined the
hall on three of its sides, and on them
were stretched mangled bodies and otb
era not dangerously iujured butsufferiug
irom paiuiul wouuds. A large numner
of physicians were in attendance. Some
of the sufferers were groaning in agony,
some were wild with delirium in the last
moment, others quietly breathed their last
or bore their sufferings in silence. Lvo
ry oue of tbe wounded here bad a leg or
an arm broken To one unacquainted
with tbe scenes of tbe dead-house or the
hospital the spectacle was sickening, hor

hall bad been set apart as a depository

literally covered jivith mangled corpses

STATEMENT OF ONE OF THE RESCUED
John Ward, one of tbe operatives in
the oarding room, in tbe second story.
was miraculously saved, with bis wife,
who worked near him in the same room.
Ho describes his escape as follows :
"I was in tho carding room, with the
second overseer, lighting up. It was 5 or
m r ft t
ten minutes oetore nve o clock, and we
had got bujjfew burners lighted when I
suddenly heard a noise; it sounded like a
on thunder crash over my bead, and
ooking up, I saw the shafting coaiug
down upon us all over the room. I could
not account for it, and was therelore ter
rified. I stood nailed to the spot, and
did not seem to have power to move, al
though I knew the building was coming
uDon nie: then I heard the overseer shout.
and I tr'cd to jump out 01 me ruouisn,
but pomcthing struck me and I was
thrown senseless 1 did not remain so
ong, but when I came to I found myself
.urTed in tbe rubbish, and did not expect
to get out alive. I wa- all covered over
with blood from my wounds on my lace.
P finally crawled up and got out to the
top aud found a lot of ruins hanging over
me which came near ending my ine, uui
I succeeded in getting cut. I passed by
a dead girl on my way and two other
a angled before I got out. When I wa."
first knocked down I fell beneath a larg
grinding stone, which was stroug enough
to uphold the weight above, and this sa
ved 0)7 life. When I tell under tbe stone
I saw tbe walls over me all falling, and
tbe floor giving way all around ine.
Mr. Ward found his wife at tbe City
Hall where she had been conveyed after
bcine extricated. Neither were much
injured.
OTHER INCIDENTS.
A citizen who risked his own life in an
attempt to save the operatives from the
burning pile, worked bis way into au in
ner apartment, and, looking through a
hole iu the wall, saw two men and a wo
man walking to and fro, apparently en
tirely uuhurt. He reached through, and
took them by the band, and proceeded
with vigorous blows to make a hole in the
partition. A moment too soon the flame
sprung up where he stood. A flood of
water poured in upon it, blinded him, and
he rushed from the place, warned by tbe
engineer, and narrowly escaped with his
life. It is feared that many who bad es
caped tbe bruising blows of the falling
uias were reserved only for the more ter
rible death by fire.
Miss Olive Bridges, who worked in the
fifth story, seized the hoisting chain of the
elevator and went safely down fivo sto
ries to the ground and escaped from th
building without injury. Through the
whole uigbtsbe was at the City Hall, pa-sing
like an Angel of Mercy among the
couches of the sufferers, aut icipating
every wa"t, relieving pain as far as she
was able to do so, and breathing words of
consolation and comfort to tho wounded
and dying.
Before tbe building caught fire a num
ber of those imprisoned beueath its ruins
could be seen and conversed with, and
drinks and refreshments in some instan
ces were passed to them. When the fire
spread over the ruius, and they found e
cape hopeless, thoy bid adieu to ther friends
and in several instances gave direction
as to what disposition should be made ot
their effects. 9

New Year's Greeting- to his Eriends and.
Matrons, lor ibbU.
Patrons and friends, another year
11ns run its hnsty round,
Mai y and int'resting, the scenes"'
Which in its course were found.
Turmoil and faction, in some parts
Of this our beautious world,
Aroused lbe fears of men, lest kings
Should from their seats be hurled.
Debates on Slavery, Pro and Con,
Like agitated waves
Ot ocean, dug Tor some brave souls,
Deep, and untimely graves,
(Of freedom's fire, the spark is lit ;
Though years may pass away
E'er from it we shall sec emerge,
A bright and sparkling ray,
Yet it will burn; and from our land
For aye, will the foul slam
Bo purged, that for so long has cast
A shadow on her name.)
In Legislative Halls, where mad
With reason, might have sought
For mortals pure and high, amour,
Intrigue, and murder, have been taught
By some; w hile noble souls have mourned;
That crime should thus disgrace,
As il has done, so terribly,
Our Nation's highest place.
Strongc contrasts. Eighteen Fifty-nine
As all preced'ng time,
Presented daily to our view;
Good, virtue, vice, and crime,
Followed each other in its course
Had no desire for change
Been witne-sed in our goodly town,
'Twould sure be passing strange.
The strifes and competition, which.
E'er mark improvement's race,
Were realized in full by us;
But we have not the space
To mention all, so will select
That, which is all the while,
The engrossing topic of discourse !
We mean the store of Pyle.
in it is offered to the gaze
Of all, a splendid lot
Ol men's attire for winter wear;
Nor must it be forgot,
That prices are made to suit the times;
This, with the unequalled style,
Of fit and work, have made the famer
Of Miu R. C. PYLE ! L
A splendid stock of over coat which
will be sold at cost to make room for
Spring operation, at Pyle'a store opposite
the old Easton Bank.
