TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Terre Haute Boy Burned to Death at Danville. Verily, in the midst of life we are in death. But a few short days have elapsed since the cheerful face of Master Irving Thompson ceased to appear on the south western route of the GAZETTE newspaper, which route he traversed with scrupulous regularity and commendable faithfulness as one of the carriers of this paper.
Having |an opportunity to go to Danville, Illinois, and go into business with a former fellow playmate, Fugene Crafts he begged his parents to allow him to avail himself of this offer, which they declined, until, importuned almost incessantly, they yielded, and Irving left, as announced in the GAZETTE of that date.
The boys got along nicely with .their peanut and hot coffee stand until yester day afternoon. In the morning Eugene came home, first cautioning Irving not to go about the stove with the lamp. In the afternoon, however, young Thompson undertook to kindle a fire and resorted to the fatal coal oilcan, pouring theoleaginous liquid on the flames. Iustautly the fire mounted to the can, an explosion followed, wrapping the unfortunate little fellow in a winding sheet of flame, and firing the tender-box which encompassed him. Near by was the telegraph office of the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad, whence the local dispatcher rushed to the scene of the conflagration and struggled man fully to rescue the victim, without avail, though he burned himself badly in his futile efforts.
The stand and telegraph office were both burned to tho ground and iu the ruins, was afterwards found the charred remains of young Thompson, burned to an unrecognizable mass.
It is presumed that the explosion so surprised and stunned him that he could take no action to effect an escape.
The lad's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Thotr pson, were notified of the terrible accident, and a special train was put at their command by President Collett. Mournfully and sadly they repaired to the scene of their son's suffering and death. Grove and Eugene Crafts and others accompanied the grief-stricken parents on their melancliolly mission, and brought back the remains wrapped in sheets and enclosed in a box, not allowing the father and mother to see the same until prepared for burial.
The family have the hearty sympathy of the newspaper fraternity as well as the community at large in this, their awful affliction.
The funeral occurred from the family residence this afternoon, Rev. James Hill attending. "OBITUARY.
Thomas J. Langford.
Many will be pained to Jearn of the death of the above named, who, while he had his faults, possessed more of the milk of human kindness than many men of greater pretentions, and was ever more charitable than any who may censure him. For several days past he had been laboring under a terrible hallucination of mind,until Saturday evening, while temporaly aberated in mind, he escaped from those who were caring for him in his misfortune, and coming down town he became chilled through before he could be found aud returned to his almost distracted family. He was put to bed aud medical aid quickly summoned, and all done that could be, to save his life, as he was apparently rapidly sinking from the reaction on his system. All in vain.1 He expired yesterday morning, surrounded by his family and a few friends who were as true to him through all his misfortunes, as he always was to his friends. The jolly, genial, good fellow will be sadly missed by many friends.
Arrest of a Forger.
An old offender who has often figured in court circles as defendant was committed this morning, charged with haying forged the signature of Patrick McGuire to an order on J. B. Matine, boot and shoe maker, for a pair of six dollar boots. The order was honored and the fellow received the boots, but

As WILD he seen by reference to an article from the Crawford county, (111.,) Argus, a terrible fa?t||ty attends a disease that now aftlictathe people of that community. Iu I he same issue of the paper, a correspondent writing from Oblong, a little villas not far distant, de_ tails the ravages If the same, or a similar malady, in that pj»ce and vicinity. He states that he helped to shovel the dirt over the corpses of: three, the day before the writing, agd that five more were ready for interment. At first, the smallpox was the'affliction, and then something like the spotted fever, which has caused fifteen deaths in less than a week.

Read! Read! Read!—Since the great Boston fire, many merchants have been spreading the report that goods have advanced wonderfully, to enable them to sell their shelf-worn, high priced goods at enormous prices.

We have converted our immense stock of Clothing into cash half a dozen times since the great fire, and have never paid any advance on goods. We now have on hand the largest and best stock in the city, which we have bought for cash, and propose to sell them lower than ever. We, therefore, invite everyone in need of Clothing, before purchasing elsewhere, to call and see the goods and prices at Frank & Rothschild's, the Great Clothing House of the West, corner Main and Fourth streets.
