A <sVrl burqedf.io dcntb bf.Flnid nmla TenitN Stitrdor ut while Xlitvem " " -fi" ■ Two weeks »go, yesterday, a girl by the name of Marfa Buras, was 'burned to death by the bkptosiob of a fluid lamp. The acci dent occurred at Browns' steam mill, three miles this side While Haven. When the' lamp exploded the fluid flew all over her and in an'idstant she was wrapped in flames.—' She ran out doors and those near By'rolled hdr in'the snow ; but before (he Are; was ex tinguished, she was roasted from her neck down.'- '.Her funeral took‘place on Friday following. At the lime of lhe funeral, some Irishmen, were employed "pn'the dam at While Haven, in cutting ice for filling nn' ice house. They left their work to attend the funeral, and three Germans were' etri ployed in their place during their absence.— On their return Friday evening they went down to (he ice and abused the Germans for taking their places, but nothing serious oc curred at the time; all went home. Next night (Saturday) as iheso three Germans wete going quietly home, this same Irish party rUshed out upon them with three axes, dealing blows indiscriminately upon the three with the blades, of the axes. One of the Germans, Henry Guisse, received n cut on the top of the held. The sharp part of the •xe cut through the skull and into the bruin. The blow would have cleft his skull open had not the handle of the axe struck the bock part of the # hcnd. The other two Germans, Lewis Kespolo and John Meyer were badly but not dangerously cut. On Monday Marlin Padden, Cormick Me- Donnough, Edward McEnelly nod Philip Mc ,Andrus, were arrested and taken before G. L. Staples, Esq., who admitted them to bail in one thousand dollars each. The excite ment was so great that the Odd Fellows Hall where the trial was held, would not hold nil the attendants. Guisse died nn Tuesday morning, when Padden ond McEnelly were brought to jail nt Wilkes-Barre. The other two, McDonnough and McAndrus were brought over on Thursday, and the four are now in jail, in chains, to await their trial.— John McAndrus was also named in the war rant but could not be found. Two others upon whom suspicion had fallen, left the place when the four were token. Guisse had a clear mind up to noon of the day before he died, and he testified that Padden pave him the fatal stroke. One of the other Ger mans says he was so busy warding off the blows from hisownhead that he could scarce ly observe what was going on around ; but when he saw Pndden at the triijl he said •‘that is the man who struck Guisse.” For the foregoing particulars of one of the. cold est blooded murders on record, we are in debted to a friend who was present at the trial. They can be relied on as correct. — Guis-'o is said by those who knew him, to have been nn inoffensive man who would not injure any one in word or deed. We for bear all comment nniil a fair trial is had. — Wilkes-Barre Times, Can the Country Pros do it? The Publishers of ihe Tioga County Agi tutor , have pul forth their determ nation to fty the pay-down, or cash' system after the 15th of February next. We hope they will succeed, for their own account, and to en courage others by their success the | example. The city press, it is true, adopt i tho cash system and no one complains of it for so doing, but the Country Press is differ* ently circumstanced, ns easily require the same advance terms. The Pat rons of the city Press, are personally unac quninled with the publishers and editors, and are likewise not expected to crave credit or leniency on the ground of respectability, wealth, or personal friendship. In a busi tTess view nearly oil are strangers, aod be ing in the habit of doing their business thro 1 clerks, who have no discretionary pniver to give credits, and by letter, whereby it is con venient to remit the money with the order, the pay down system becomes a settled poli cy, and is observed by tho patrons without a murmur. Tho case is different with the Country press. The publishers and editors are personally acquainted with most of their patrons, and transact most of their business with them in person. This being the case, they learn the patrons responsibility, and should they refuse to give credit, in the usual way, to those who pride themselves in being quite responsible for a printer's bill, they would be offended, withdraw their patronage, and persuade others to do likewise. Again, nine-tenths of the patrons of the Country press, do, and expect to do, their business in person, and not by letter, nor through clerks and book-keepers. And accordingly it is next to impossible for them to call at the office at the day their subscription expires to renew it; and being unable to know the cost of their advertisements or Hand Bills, they will not remit.the money, but accompany the order with a promise to call and settle at another time. Thus we observe the different circumstan ces and manner of doing business, in Ihe city, Irom that in Country; and tho advan tage the press in the one, has over that in the other, especially in the enforcement of cash terms; still we ate not witling to con fess that (he pay down system cannot be Adopted in both. Doubtless it would require fiacrifices and a concert of action an the part if Country publishers for a time to cstnbli-h he system, but in n few years, they would alt be gainers thereby. —Honesdale Herald.

The Court House was crowded. H. W. Williams Esq., on (he pari of (be Ladies, made a neui end appropriate presentation speech, which was respond ed to by I. D. Richards., briefly but appropriately. After the ceremonies were over, the audience ad journed to Mas. Kimball's, where they proceeded to discuss the merits of the Major’s hospitable fare, which was, wo are informed, bounteous in quantity as it was excellent in quality. Everytgidy was iu high spirits and nobody got high, which is worth re fitting besides being very creditable. Wc take (his opportunity to thank those gentlemen who gener ously placed us on tho free list as an invited guc.i, and express oar regrets that we were una void ably detained from being present. The Charleston Band was in attendance and the performers acquitted themselves admirably. This Band deserves the most liberal encouragement from our citizens and wo can confidently recommend them to those who may need tlieir services everywhere. The President has made and promulgated a start ling discovery in his recent Message to Congress. It is, that when the people of Kansas shall bo num erous enough ond-slmll desire itfthey may frame a plan of government and be admitted into the Union as a sovereign State ! Tiiis announcement, in form, furnishes new and important evidence in relation to those wonderful co incidences which from lime (o limo startle the world. Referring to a certain document made and promulgated in 1787, wo find an announcement of strikingly similar import One Thomas Jefferson is thought to have been concerned in drawing up that ancient document, and consequently is in some degree entitled to the honor ns the original discover- I or. The honor of the rediscovery belongs to his Excellency, Franklin Pierce—a little man who once gave a dirty boy whom he found crying on a fur lorn highway, a penny which he generously bide him invest in a slick of candy. For this di.<inlvr i esled act the said Franklin Fierce was very justly to the responsible post of President of the United Stales. Thus, it will be observed that the most momentous events lake their rise from ap parently trifling causes. Thus, had not Mr. Pierce disbursed Dial penny to u dirty, squalling buy, he had never, in all human probability, been President; and had lie never been President, the striking coin cidence above noted—Die rediscovery of a fact pro mulgated by the men of *B7, had not been! As one of the sovereigns ot this great Republic wo tremble at the narrow escape of Die Union from being Pier, ced. And then, what a wondrous grouping of antago nisms do we behold in the matter 1 Jefferson was a Southern man with Northern principles. Pierce is a Ncw-llampsbirc man with South Carolina prin ciples, Jefferson was tho soul of honor and a pat tern of self dependence. Pierce is innocent of hon. or and honesty and as independent as any other hu. man automaton. Yet they are parties in the same marvellous coincidence. “Out of the mouths of the weak and simple God confoundelh Iho mighty and the wise V' Wonderful prophecy and marvelously fulfilled ! Wo make no doubt that wise and pitrintic Jefferson would be ut terly coyfbundcd, awed and stupefied, were he to arise and read the two recent Messages of our ex* Ira-mundane Pierce. Better induce him to retire on hulf.puy and perquisites than to permil him to con vert his intellectual fertility into a barren waste. To cap the climax, Air. Pierce recommends (hat a law for the admission of Kansas as a Stile into the Union, be passed Immediately. That would be nice- Tho Border Ruffians could get a provision in serted barring its admission as other than a slave Slate. That would be nice. Should Mr. Pierce announce to the Senate and House of Representatives the astounding iutellu genco that a vast continent lies to tho wolwnrd nf Africa, let no one be astounded. It would only' bo equivalent to a re-discovery of America. 3 _ ~ ~ __ New Arrangement. After the ISlti of February, 1856, llio Agitator will be published on (tie puy.down system. The system will be rigidly adhered to. A number of considerations have contributed Ip the adoption of (his system al Hie present lime. It is incumbent upun every individual lu p.iy his lion csl debts. Thu well-being of society imperatively demands tills } and. with proper economy, every man ordinarily can do tills, provided slways, that bo ro. ccives for bis labor, value received. City papers huvo'adopled the pay.down system almost universally,,and with llio happiest results. It always proves two things: bow many of the pa. irons of a paper ore earnestly in favor of bolding the laborer as “worthy of his hire," and how many wish to aid in the support of llicir county paper. It will, in tills case, show how many friends the Aoit. atob lias among its 1000 patrons. We have ho anx. ielies concerning tlirf result.

I Wo do not expect to retain all our old subscribers, but anticipate no great (filling off. It is believed that the paper has many warm friends in this coun ty, who will be active in (replacing all those who may fall off. In the beginning it will be difficult to remember that no paper will be sent after the time for winch it has been paid has expired. When a subscriber fails to receive his paper, he may infer that his subscription Jins expired. If he wishes to continue it, let him remit the money to our address. Those who nro in arrears will much oblige us *y sending us the amount at the earliest npjioriunily. It is desirable (hat all subscriptions to (his paper should expire on the Ist of January of each year. Thus every man will have a set time to pay lor bis 'paper. The approaching Court weeks will afford un excellent opportunity to setile up old dues and subscribe fnr another year. Wo urge Ujion our friends (he necessity of assisting us by tlieir active co-operation. Our list should not be suffered to full off. An exciting Presidential Campaign is at hand, and through the agency of the press alone, can the cause of Freedom be pleaded before (lie people. As to the stand which the Agitator has taken in the battle for Liberty and Goad Order, its present and past bear witness. Its future course may be calcu lated by ils past. It has steadily opposed rum and slavery always; it will i-ver be found the champion nf the oppressed and the fearless advocate of every, thing New, that promises to benefit MAN.

An old friend informs us that a neighbor P of his, residing upon a cold, bleak finrlitiii of the suburbs, tvis been visited by a dreadful calamity, one must afflicting 10 the parlies berelt, and which made us shudder when he, .in a leeling manner, broached in us lire sad intelligence. Thu whole offspring of chil dren-!—eleven in number frozen, liteially frozen to death! It is too well known that Wednesday night, the 9th insl., wns one of the very coldest thut has transpired for ninny a year in this latitude; and that suffering was in tense. The miserable wreck of a shanty in which this large family were harbored was scarce fit to (uotect the hardiest of the brute creation. u name nor a spark of fire was beneath theNoof to cheer their counte nances nor to warm their little toes; hot; there they were compelled to remain during the entire cold and bitter night—no friend knowing or dreaming of the intense suffering to which they were being subjected ; yet n is not to be doubled that had they been only able to make known to the community the precise nature of their distress, the hand of charily would have been extended at least as far as to render them bettor housed. But this was unfortunately not so; and in the morning, when n guardian of,the family looked into the miserable residence, bis feel ings were deeply touched at seeing the entire eleven frozen s'iff in death; and he at once censured himself for not having exercised a heller protective care over the lamilv.

It is quite common for farmers and others to remark, upon being requested to subscribe to a good county paper, that they nre 100 poor to take two, and that they already lake one city paper, “because it conies cheaper I - ’ Now wo have no fault to find with our friends for patronizing n good city paper, provided they have first done their duty by subscrib ing to and paying for u county paper. It will be acknowledged by all sensible people that there are a thousand matters of interest constantly transpiring in our midst which would never bo placed in a conspicuous re lation to the public, were it not for the local press. The affairs of the citizen, the village the township, and the county, are looked upon with a kind of fraternal feeling by ihe conductors of the fcounlry press, and the in terest and pto'perify of the former nre care fully watched by the latter. Improvements of all kinds nro noted and made public, busi ness is enlivened, and property increased in value through the instrumentality of the lo cal newspaper. Yet these trifles, which nro of so much imparlance to us dwellers in the country, cannot, from the nature of things, receive the slightest attention at the hands ol city publishers. We see, therefore, thin al though deficient perhaps in sorpe particulars, country newspapers ore invaluable to those residing within the sphere of their influence, and that thmr places cannot bo supplied by the more ambitious, but often jess nsoful pnb heutions emanating from the cities.

Intelligencer, of the 28th till., that Wni. Bell, a planter of Tesns Parish-, wits tried at the late Term of the District Court of th it Parish, for cruel treatment of one of his slaves, nnd convicted. The Intelli gencer says: “The prosecution was predicated on the description he gave uf the slave when adver tising him ns a runaway. The authorities ol the parish did not recognizn the branding of a slave as the proper mode of identifying him as the properly of the owner. After a fair nnd impartial trial, Mr. Bell was found guilty, nnd the extreme penalty of the law wns inflicted nn him. Ho was fined §2OO, nnd Ihe Jury deemed that the slave should be sold away from him.” The trade in human souls nnd sinews seems remarkably brisk of late. A Virgin! t paper informs us that n few day since “thir ty-three negroes, brought from Halifax coun ly, including saints and sinners, various ages, nnd both sexes, brought §20,666 at auction.” The auctioneer nnd his customers, buyers and sellers, nre doubtless ardent admirers of our Glorious Uninn, which secures them im munity in their infernal traffic. Tub Wilmol Proviso, so culled—embody ing ihe principle of a peremptory exvlusion by act of Congress of human Slavery from the vast territories then about,to be wrested from Mexico—was first proposed by David Wjlmol to the twenty ninth Congress, at the close of its first session, Ang.l2, 1846. It was moved as nn amendment nr rider to the bill putting money wherewith jn conclude a Tieniy Peice, and Boundaries into, the hands of President Polk, and was carried by a vo'e of 83 to 64. It is said that only three voles were given against this Proviso from all Ihe Free Slates, Slavery has gained ground at the North, since that day. * $ '■ y Pair x6vb School Ti| Without Ghdm- Boston, who has lately warned'; from Europe, where ho has •peat several' years, delivertdla lecture io Nejjf“Tort 'last weeTfpoh" the oducaliohal jectlhefefW “ff there be.any moral to talq ;have to Id, it moybe J *irmtrfeo’ , tipfi)Jn' fed words.

A gentleman writes us from Fairfield that so long ago ns 1832, when living in that town, she pretended to be a prophetess, and went from house to house preaching and prosely ting. At that time she charged her husband as being “a man of sin," and “bewitching all the invalids in that region” and under this de fusion she mustered a company of fanatics, who seized and bound him, when she made an unnatural ond highly criminal assault upon him with a knife, inflicting dangerous wounds.
