At the first alarm a icene ensued which it is impossible to describe, and mingled as it was with the burning boat. Irom which flames were bunting in all directions, became terrible in the extreme. Many rushed into the flames, while others crowded to tbe side of the boat, clinging convulsively to the boat, till driven away by the fire, and finally threw themselves into the river. It was with difficulty that any of the females could be aa . - a a saved, many of them buing separated from their husbands : and mends.

A death-like stillness pervaded the scene. The spectators were almost mute with horror. Indignation was depicted on every countenance, and many a mmi.y as well as a gentle ee was sntiused with tears. The spectacle out-doors was awful to behold. A female ! prostrate upon her back, at fill length in a pool of con gealed blood. The whole front ol her skull stove in, and her brain soaked in masses from the wound. A man extended also on the damp earth, his face buried in mud. and the posterior part of his head beaten to atoms. The house was entered, and here was disclosed the worst sight of all.
