Wil liam Dark at Carbondala, Luzerne county. A young daughter of 12 years was for a moment left lo take charge of the house, when the dress of a little girl, still younger, caught fire. The sister at first attempted to ! smother this fire by wrapping her own clothes around the lilile girl. But this was in vain, and the two girls were soon envel oped in flames. They ran into the street, but no one could come to their assistance until ilia clothes were all burnt from them, and their bodies most shockingly scarred and burnt. The younger one soon died, and the older one is scarcely expected to survive her pain and suffering. Knocking tke "Knockers." Mrs. Swisshelm on one day of last week held communication with some of the "spir its" from Knockeiiand, but the revelations did not convert the lady of the Visiter. She was finally told that her deceased mother would not converse with her from the other tide of " Avernus because Mrs. Swisshelm would not believe in the " knocking*," and . hereupon Mrs. 8., quickly retorted "That is not true. No matter who or what you arei that is folic." She says "We were a little out of temper, and impious enough lo say, if the angel Gabriel trough us any such message we would tell him he iied."

French's Over land Flxhibilion to California, which left New York City, May 13, 1850, and arrived at San Francisco, Dec. 14." The Journal was written br Mr. William Miles, one of the ill-fated exhibition, aiul transcribed and prepared for the press by his brother, Mr. Wesley Mdes, of Carlisle, Pa., the whole forming a highly graphic and interesting de j ecription of the route and the scenes through ! which they parsed.

Newspapers must be Paid for. A case was tried yesterday, in the Com mon Pleas, bofore Judge Kelly, in which the right of a newspaper publisher to exact payment from a subscriber, who neglects or t refuses to give notice to stop bis paper, was i fully tested. Tha case was that of Philip R ■ Freas vt. Jacob Haas. It was an action lo r recover the subscription price of the Ger , mantown Telegraph for 12 years. The pa [ per was left at a public bouse in the vicinity . ot the defendant's stall, in Callowhill street, (thiwlefeiidaut being a butcher at the time,) , at the express direction of Mr. Haas, where it continued to be left for the space of time ' stated. The defence was two fold—lst, the statue of limitations ; and 2d, that the paper should have been left at the residence of the I defendant, as it was known lo the Plaintiff. , William S. trice for plaintiff; F. C. Brightly • | for defendant. Jude Kelly charged the jury, that where a person subscribed /or a pp#r, B ive di rections where it shall tie left, ho is bound 10 pay for it, unless he prescribes the time for which it shall be left. If a subscriber wish es to discontinue his paper, it is his duly to square his accounts and then give notice for a discontinuance. If a paper is sent lo a persou through the Post Office, and he take* it out, he is bound to pay for it. If a sub scriber changes his residence, it does not follow that the carrier must take notice of it, and a delivery of the paper at the place where he was first directed to leave it, is a delivery to the subscriber, unless the pub lisher receives notice to discontinue or send it to another place. The statute of limitations did not affect the case, ss the defendant had paid some thing on account in June, 1844. Verdict for plaintiff, #22,50. — Sun.

The brig Acorn had been hauled to the end of Long Wharf, hav ing been previously fitted up lor an extra number Of passengers. During the night, the Court Honse Square was filled with a drowd who were collected in knots discuss ing the- matter anil occasionally hooting at the officers. There was a number of females amongst tnem. Not the least attempt at violrnce was made. Mr! Colver and other persons in tho crowd occasionally denounced the proceed ings, and culled for the thunderbolts of Hea ven to be poured down upon them. When the procession reached the wharf, the brig was found to be already, with the steamer Hornet alongside, with the steam up. Sims was taken immediately into the cabin. The Acorn bad two cannon on board io protect from any assault on the passage. The word was given to let go her fastenings, and she was soon under way. About thirty police officers accompanied the vessel as far as the steamer went, as a protection from officers of this city, inclu ding D. S. Deputy Marshals Savin aud Byrne accompanying the fugitive in the vessel' to Savannah. Just as the vessel was about to leave the wharf some ot the orowd sang sev eral hymns, such as "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," "Oh ! there will be motfTning," "At the judgment seat of Christ,', "Be thou, oh God, exalted high, Ac." On 3 man, just as Sims was going below, called out to him to preach liberty to the slave.—nnd as the brig was departing, the Rev. Mr. Foster, orthodox minister, of Con cord, made the following prayer "A'niighty God! Thou seest this poor man, one of Thy children, borne away by oppressors—Thou art the friend of all who suffer wrong,—and we have now no hope but in Thee ; that hope is still unshaken; Thy promises endure forever, and now we beseech Thee to show Thy power and love in blessing this dear brother who is carried by force to the land of whips and chains— oh, God, make him a missionary of power to awaken a love of justice and liberty that shall end in the speedy overthrow of the ac cursed system which now causes millions of bleeding hearts. In mercy, Heavenly Fath er, do Tliou destroy the wicked power whioh rules us—give us righteous men to adminis ter just laws, forgive the wickedness of our rnlers and lead rhem to true and lasting re pentance, pity the wretched man who now goes in fetters over the. waves—pity and bless bis brethren in chains—haston the day when all men shall be free and Thine shall be the Glory—Amen." It was just five when he left; the Aboli tionist Vigilance Committee met at si, and passed a resolution respectfully asking the people of Massachusetts to toll the bells in the several towns, as the intelligence reach eu them of the return of a fugitive slave from the Commonwealth. They have also appointed a meeting for public religious services on Ihe occasion. A person with rather loud lungs, as the procession passed down Stste street, recited the events of the Boston Massacre that occurred in that street belore the revolution. The fugitive was warmly and comlortably clad in garments provided by the U. S. Mar- j shal. He stated that he wa9 willing to go during the evening,—he refused to sign any I ; more papers drawn up by the Abolitionists, " saying that he was tired of the business. The military, in considerable numbers, w ere at their Armories and Fsnueil Hall, but there was no cause to call upon them to i act in the matter, and this morning they were dismissed from fur.her duty The chains have been taken down from the Court House, and it has resumed its usual aspect During the night, Abby Fnlsom was found lying in Ihe street, near the Temple, and refusing to go home, was taken to the Watch House.

A York correspondent givds the fol lowing intcrosliiig list of gossip: "It is said that au agent of Louis Napo leon is in the oil) endeavoring to borrow five millions of francs for his master. He tried to obtain the money from Dr. Win. B Moffat, the owner of the. Life Pills and Phmmx Bitters; but although the doctor raide the tour of England, Ireland and Scot land with the Prince several years ago, add has kept up an intimate correspondent with him ever since, he refused to loan him the francs. This refusal will doubtless prove a bitter pill Jo Prince Louis; but I imagine that the loan would have proved a bitter one for the doctor had he granted it.
