On January 17, 1857,tJe ther

zero in Richmond,' Virginia, as we
learn from the Dispatch. On De

So there was 14 degrees difference in
the cold of 1880 and 1857.
The Lynchburg correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch writes on
the 28th of December:
"Mr. R. T. Craighill's book, 'The Vir

includes sketches of Washington, Jeffer
son, HenryK Randolph of Roanoke, and
John Marshall. The book is entitled, vol
ume L, aa it will probably be followed tv
other like sketches from Mr. Cralgbilr,s

This reads somewhat amusingly to
an ordinary American. "Virginia
Peerage!" Ah!

Narrow Baeapo of a Child from Death
The little child of Mr. James Kendrick,
of this city, aged about ten months, made
very narrow-eccape from death on
Thursday. It seems that the mother was
engaged io the dining room preparing din
ner, while the baby, in charge of two little
girls, was left on a pallet spread in front of
he fire in the sitting room, the weather at
the time being very cold. The largest of
the two girla, after awhile, went into the
room where her mother was,' intending to
return in a few minutes. In the mean
time Mis. Kendrick was startled by a
scream from the little girl in charge of the
baby, accompanied by the exclamation
that the child was nearly in 1I13 fire. Mrs.
K. hurried forward, and reached the door
to the Bitting room just in time to see the
baby totter and fall backwards into tbe
fire-place. She sprang to it and snatched
it from the fire almost as soon as it had
reached it, but not before it had received
very severe and painful injuries. It ap
pears that tbe child did not fall immadi
ately into the blaza, but ou tha hot embers,
and so near tbe fire that the hair on its lit
tie head ignited and flared up, while tbe
tender skin was badly blistered. If tbe
mother had been a moment later in reach
ing the child the result, in all probability,
would have been too disastrous to contem
plate. At last accounts it was suffering
greatly from the accident, but the physi
cian does not seem to apprehend any seri
ous consequences.

William Sbulver, a native of London,
England, employed on the Revenue Cutter
Colfax, met with quite a serious accident
yesterday. He was engaged in trnnnelieg
COal. from the government wharf to the
steamer, when by some means he got a
trip upon the high gangway used for tbe
purpose and was precipitated to the dock
below, falling across one of the cutter's
guns, while the barrow of coal came down
upon his back. He was quickly rescued
from his unpleasant position and taken to
the marine hospital attached to the Sea
men's Home, where he received tbe proper
medical attention. Upon a visit to the
Home which we were pleased to find ap
parently-sb cleanly and comfortable in its
various anartmenta wb were informed I
that no bones were broken and that the in
ured man will probably bs able to get out
in "a few. days.
