A Solemn Truth.
You may insert a thousand excellent
things in a newspaper; 'and never hear a
word of approbation from the readers ; but
Just let a paragraph slip in, even by accident,
of one or two lines not:suited to their taste,
and you will be sure to hear from them.

saw one thousand seven hundred feet of
sausages, which had been brought in, and it
was still coming when he left.

Terrible Catastrophe in Santiago the
Capitol of Chili.
Over Two Thousand Women
and Children burned to Death.
One of the most horrible calamities
that ever has fallen upon any people occur
red in the city of Santiago, the capital
of the Republic of Chili on the night of
the Bth of December last. The Church
of the Jesuits, in which was being cele
brated the Immaculate Conception of the
Virgin, was destroyed by fire, and with
it were burned and suffocated over two thous
and women andchildren, numbering among
them the flower of the beauty and fash
ion of the capital. The Mercurio del
Vapir, of the 17th, gives the following
account of the terrible catastrophe :
On the commemoration of the Immac
ulate Conception, the last of the festivi
ties of the month of May, the most pop
ular and frequented of all our solemnities,
thousands of fair devotees thronged to
the last performance, which was to
eclipse all that had preceded, At six in
the evening the spacious steps and part
of the open place before the church
swarmed with ladies in veils frantically
struggling to enter a temple where not
one more could bo made room for. A
few minutes before seven, about to com
mence, they were still lighting the last
lights in the chancel, when the portable
gas in the half moon of canvas and
wood that formed the pedestal of a col
ossal image of the Virgin Mary began
to burn one of the extremities of that
apparatus. Some one rushed on the
raising flame and succeeded in smother
ing it, but by a fatal rebound the gas,
compressed by the effort, burst out with
redoubled vigor at the other extremity
of the false half moon. Immediately a
fierce flame rushed up. The persons
who thronged the chancel fell towards
the sacristy, crying; 'water water"
whilst the women, who filled the nave,
arose in tumultuous confusion, screaming
for help.
The fire spread with wonderful rapid
ity, to the reredos of wood and hangings,
and thence, attracted by the current of
air that always circulates between the
upper boarding and the roof, rolled
through the church. In a few moments
all over head was a mass of flames. In
the meantime the men had succeeded
in escaping; for in this church the sexes
were separated by an iron grating, an
the women had fled as far as the middle
of the church, in a state of the most
terrible confusion. But the headlong
hurry, the fainting, the obstruction of
the bell-shaped dresses, and the frantic
eagerness to gain the street, formed an
impenetrable barrier before the two
doors, which, by a culpable imprudence,
gave access to the free air only towards
the open space in front and the small
court of the west side of the church.—
That obstacle was the barrier of death.
$13.670,17
Help was all but impossible ; a Her
cules might have strained his strength in
vain to pull one from the serried mass
of frenzied wretches, who, piled one
above another, as they climbed over to
reach the air, wildly fastened the grip
of death upon any one escaping, in order
that they might be draged out, with
them. Those who longed to save them
were doomed to bear the most harrow
ing sight that ever seared human eye
balls—to see mothers, sisters, tender
and timid women, dying that dreadful
death, that appalled the stoutest heart
of man, within one yard of salvation,
within one yard of man who would have
given their lives over and over again for
them. It was maddening—the scream
' ing and wringing of hands for help as
the remorseless flames came on ; and
then, while some already died with
fright were burned in ghastly indiffer
ence, others in their horrible agony
some in prayer—were tearing their
hair and battering their faces.
Hardly had the noble men who had
devoted themselves to save the lives at
the peril of their own siezed by the
arms or the clothes a prostrate form then
the other woman, made with terror from
the nearness of the fire, clutched the
victim about to be saved and in some
cases draged those who came to help
them into that fiery vortex. It was al
most impossible to extricate. even one
from that heap of despairing wretches
and undo that ghastly knot. But the
fire accomplished that which baffled
man, and the passage into the doomed
church was not cleared until that impen
etrable phalanx of precious, beautiful
life was a handful of cinders.
H. 11. FAIRALL,
S. K. FAIRALL.
The fire imprisoned by the immense
thickness of the wall, had devoured
everything combustible by ten o'clock ;
and then, defying the sickening stench,
people came to look for their lost ones.
Oh, what a sight that fair, placid moon
looked down upon t Closely packed
crowds of calcined, distorted forms, wear
ing the fearful expression of the last
pang, whose smile was once a heaven ;
the ghastly phalanx of black statutes,
twisted in every vittiety of agony,
stretching out their arms as if imploring
mercy ; and then, of the heap that had
choked up the door, multitudes with
their lower parts entirely untouched, and
some all a shapeless was, but with an
arm or foot unscathed.
Their silence, after those piercing
screams were hushed in death, was
horrible. It was the silence of the grave,
unbroken but by the bitter wail or faint
ing cry—over two thousand souls had
passed through that ordeal of fire to the
judgment seat of God. .
Heroic acts of sublime daring have
not been wanting. Enduring gratitude
has been excited in every Christian heart
bhegallant efforts of Mr. Nelson-the
Minister of the United States, his WUXI
tr:IMS% Mr. lifiggs, and several other for
eigners. ' There Were generous men who
-defied the fury of dames to save lives, and
some of tho.se died martyys . to their no

parent in her arms, awed. A young In
dy of the name of Solar, just before the
smoke suffocated her, had the presence
of mind to tie her handkerchief around
her leg, so that her body might be rec
ognised.
The priests are much censured for
their part in the affair. It is alleged
that they confined their efforts to the
savine• ° of a few of the valuables of the
Church, and aided in no way in minis
tering to the sufferings of the few who
were saved. The following from the
Aturcurio gives an idea of the class of
persons that perished by the deplorable
accident :—"Although many heroic men
performed prodigies of daring and
strength in tearing some from the death
grasp of the phalanx of bodies that chok
ed the door in some cases literarily
tearing off their arms without being able
to extricate them, the number of saved
by this means falls short of fifty. More
than five hundred persons of our high
est society have perished, the greater
part young girls of fifteen to twenty
••
years o f age. One mother has perished,
with her five daughters. Two thirds of
the victims were servants, and there are
many houses in which not one has es
caped. Several houses have been noted
by the police as empty because all their
inhabitants have perished."
The latest information says that sev
enteen hundrel bodies have been rec
ognized, between four and five hundred
I were beyond recognition, and many
were nothing but a shapeless mass.—
Three thousand at least were in the
building, and it is not yet known how
many have escaped. No names are
given. One hundred mid fifty cart
loads of unrecognized corpses were, on
the 9th and 10, carried to the cemetery.
The beauty and the wealth and the
proud and the Spanish aristocracy all had
their repaesentatives in that awful cour
tege;
A reaction has taken place here
against the clergy. Public opinion de
manded at once•the conversion of the
church site into a public square. This
has been and is violently opposed by the
clergy and their formidable party.
A decree las been issued ordering the
entire demolition of the remains of the
Church of the Campania, in which the
accident occurred.
Terrible Accident on the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad.
The mail train for the West, which
left this city at 10 30 on Saturday night,
met with a serious accident at Birming
ham, 17 miles east of .Altoona, about
daylight on Sunday morning ; as the
train was entering the bridge at Bir
mingham, the axle of the tender broke,
throwing the baggage car, the express
car, and two passenger ears into the
river, 25 feet below. The stoves in the
passenger cars up setting, the cars were
set on fire and completely destroyed, the
flames at the same time setting fire to
the bridge, one span of which was burn
ed. The sleeping car remained up on
the track but was upset, and fire being
communicated to it from the stove, it
was also burned.
The express and baggage cars were
saved with their contents ; among
other valuables in the express car,
was $1,000,000 in greenbacks belong
ing to the government. Fortunately no
lives lost, but some twenty-five persons
were more or less injured. A. Steinmey
er of Pittsburgh was very'seriously in
jured. Thos. Spole Leisenring, of Phil
adelphia, the conductor on the train, had
a shoulder broken and was otherwise
hurt, Phillip Matthews, of Philadelphia
was also badly hurt. The other parties
w ere furloughed soldiers going west.
Mr. Enoch Lewis, the Superintendent
of the road was on the ground soon af
ter the accident, and every thing possi
ble was done for the sufferers. They
were all removed to Altoona with the ex
ception of Mr. Leisenring.
As soon as the rubbish could be re
moved the work of reconstructing the
bridge was commenced, and at 10, o'clock
last night had so far•advanced as to en
sure its complection for the regular
passage of the train to-day.

Good Advice.
A few years since a young man con
tinually importuned Secretary Corwin
for a clerkship. At last he advised him
to "go out West, squat, build a cabin,
and live like a freeman." The politician
continued; "Accept a clerlisl4 here, and
you sink at once all the independence ;
your energy becomes- relaxed - and you
are unfitted in a few years fOr any other
and more independent position.. I may
give you a place to-day, I • can ick you
out again to-morrow, and there's another
man over at the White House who can
kick me out. And the. people by and
by can kick him out. But if you own
au acre of land, t is your castle,
you are
a sovereign, and you will feel it in the
very throbbing of your pulse, and every
day of your life would assure me of
your thanks for baying thus advised
you."

Poor House--Report of Grand
Jury.
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Court of Quarter Sessions in and for
the County . of Greene :
The undersigned, Grand 'furors for the said
county, summoned at December Session, 1863,
having been directed by the Court of Quarter
Sessions to visit the. House for the support and
maintenance of the poor of said county, and to
report upon the condition of the House and its
inmates, &c., do respectfully submit—
That on the 23d day of December, 1863, they
visited the House and farm, and after a very
thorough examination, in which they were
very kindly and courteously assisted by the
steward and matron, they found the House and
inmates in a most creditable. condition—as
much so as they think possible under the dis
advantages under which the steward and mat
ron have labored. The inmates appeared
healthy, clean and comfortable, and no cause
of comp'aint could. be discovered as to their
condition. In their opinion, the rooms allotted
to the insane paupers are not well calculated to
insure the comfort and safety of the unfortu
nate inmates, but under the arrangement of
the House, no other or better plan could be
adapted. They also think the drainage of the
cellars to the House entirely insufficient ; bo.t
this, they suggest, can be remedied without
great expense. They also examined the loca
tion of the proposed barn, and think the site
the mggi,,, suitable on the farm. They think
the graft around the House should be done
as soon as possible, and the fences built around
the House, and the necessary trees planted out.
The Grand Jurors further suggest that under
the present system of paying for everything
in orders, the Directors find it very difficult to
carry on the affairs of the farm and house
with proper economy, and that the law should
be so altered or framed as to require the
County Treasurer to collect the estimate of the
Directors in cash. It would be the same to
the tax-payers, and would be a decided saving
to the people, as it would enable the steward
and Directors to purchase the necessary cloth
ing, provisions, &c., &c., at a more reasonable
price.
In conclusion, they cnnnot close skis report
without again expressing their decided appro
bation of the manner in which the House has
kept, and the inmates taken care of. Tay be
lieve that the steward has most laithfully dis
charged his duty, and they regard the neutron
as admirably qualified for the position she oc
cupies, and that her industry, care and atten
tion in providing for the comfort of the unfor
