duced probably v by some of ; the hawks
themselves, -with a view to a more abun

in this line, has occurred in reference to
the .Great Park which is to spread its "air,

nicking citizens. -: Instead of leaving" its
management to the people who are inter-
ested, and who are abundantly ' able to
: manage it for themselves, some simple up
country Tooster cackles himself into a need-
" less solicitude, and trots out five commis
'sioners of his own choosing, (or probably
self-suggested) to manage and guard the

It will possibly be remembered byt our
geological, geographical, and antiquarian
friends at a distance, that this island of the
ancient . Manhattoes is naturally shaped
like a great human" arm, with its fist-like
hand a short index finger pointed towards
the South and to the narrow gate, which
shuts us from the sea, like a giant showing
;us the higher road to fortune, and warning
us "of the path of danger. Seventy years
since, the city firesides were gathered round
this paternal fore-finger," and . the most dar
ing progressives of even 1820 ventured not
; to look for city pavements beyond the root
"of that outstretched index, viz : the latitude
"of the present Park. The City Hall was
" there built, and ; its rear wall of brown
stones5 in economical contrast . with i the
' marble front and sides, marked the utmost
. limit 'of "expected civilization. 'But we

DEATH OF AN ACTRESS.
Wc regret to record .the death, under
peculiarly painful circumstances, of M'lle
Pauline Genet, a French actress of some
note, who, at the time of her decease,' was
playing an engagement at Niblo's Theatre,
in this city. .
' M'lle Genet died on Saturday morning
from the effects of injuries received at the
theatre lastT Wednesday- evening, conse
quent upon her dress taking fire.
uunng one ot ma eniraaes me Dens De
gan, ringing for fire, and M'lle Genet sprang
into a chair and thence into a window to
tryand discover where the "fire was. In
this position her guae dress " accidentally
came in contact with the light of a gas
burner, and she was immediately envelop
ed in flames. A little girl from behind ex
claimed "Pauline, you are on fire 1" Miss
Genet, in her terror, instead of grasping
her dress and smothering the flame, tried
to extinguish it by shaking herdres3 in the
air This, of course, only made matters
worse, and rushing from the room she ran
down stairs. Her - mother tried to throw
something upon her to smother the flames,
and a gentleman with an overcoat in his
arms tried to fling it around her, but in
vain; she would allow no one to come
near her or touch her. The fire soon burnt
through her light clothes into her flesh,
and the only way it could be extinguished
was by those who were near rushing up
on her and tearing her clothes from her
piecemeal. Her limbs, especially her arms,
were shockingly burnt.. She was taken
to her boardjng-house, and received the
best medical aid that could be procured.
She died on Saturday night.
She was but ninetoen years old, and
came out from France with an engagement
at Niblo's for a year. She received a sala
ry of 1,700 . francs a month. Her charac
ter was exemplary and she lived very rs
tired with her mother, Mrs. Josephine Gen
et, who will soon return to France.

FEARFUL TRADGEDF IN SCOTLAND.
A most painful excitement was caused
at Dingwall, Resshire, Scotland, ' last
month, by the report that three gentlemen
had been poisoned," which report unhappi
ly proved too true. It appears that John
Mclver, Esq., Provost of Dingwall, had a
private dinner party, consisting of Lewis
M. Mackenzie, of Findon ; the Rev.
Messrs. Mackenzie, of Eskdale, and
Gordon, ot Beauty, Roman Catholic priests;
John Macdonald, Esq., of Torridon; and
shortly after dinner the whole of. the party
fell sick, and before medical assistance
could be brought the Rev. Mr. Mackenzie
and the Rev. Mr. Gordon and Mr. Mac
kenzie, of Findon, had expired. Mr. Mc
lver and Mr. Macdonald gradually recov
ered'. From what has transpired it appears
that the cook sent the maid servant to the
garden for some radish for the roast beef,
and she, through a mistake, took raon
shood root to her, and this formed the sauce
fjr the beef. It is now though all the par
ties who have died, as well as Mr. Mclver
and Mr. Macdonald, ate more or less of the
beef; that the deadly poison was in the
sauce, and that the awful disaster, hence
originated. The coroner's inquest had not
yet taken place. The two clergymen were
highly respected by their own people, and
Mr. Mackenzie, of Findon, from his suavi
ty of manners and intelligence, had he been
spared, would- have uccupied a conspicu
ous and useful position. '
SUICIDE WITH CHLOROFORM.
A young married woman , named Har
riet . Tunnell, the mother of . an infant
child,' destroyed herself, by indulgence in
the use of chloroform, at Alton, 111., a short
time since. She had been in the habit of
using laudanum, for the sake of its nar
cotizing effects, and when prevented from
obtaining that, resorted to chloroform as a
substitute. Once she narrowly escaped
death from the effects of ether a physician
being called just in time to save her. A-
gain, she bribed a child to buy her chloro
torm, and was soon found rigid in death,
with the bottle of the fatal liquid pressed
to her nostrils. She was a person in good
social position, and had influential friends,
who sought in vain to break up ' a habit so
dangerous to herself and child
SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.
On last" Thursday night, about 10 o'
clock, a man went to Mr. Oberhaltzer's, in
Warwick township, Lancaster county, Pa.,
knocked at his bed room window, and cal
led him by his name, ; demanded fifty dol
lars of money in a hurry, or he would set
Mr. O.'s house and barn on. fire. Mr. O.
did not do as requested, and the barn was
soon all in flames. It contained forty-seven
head of cattle, horses, sheep arid hogs.
Not one head was saved. The family did
not dare to go out to save.their stock on
account of the burglars, - A man, after the
fire was over, was found under the foreshot

not be recognized. How ha came .there

he can confidently . recommend a safe and speedy

victims to this dreadful complaint, owing to the un

THE "LIVE C.1KAHE" AGAIN !
A New Era About to Dawu Upon ortti
Carollna. At the constant aud earnest soliciiation of near
ly every body, but esM-cially the old acquaintan
ces of "ye Animal," we hsve been Induced iiiprn
mise, If "provender" enough can be secured, to
trot that beast out again to the gsr. ot all man
kind, and th. universal sdnilralion of woniaiikiuil?
dnring the first week lo January, 86.
"Tin Live Giralle," while it ss a neutral pa
per, while it grazed in its own green pamurane,
played wilb the giils and joked with the boys,
was the most popular sheet, animate or inanimate,
that ever irsued from a Houjliein res; adit had
it been conterfl to have lived In Its own rial Ire
sphere, It would now have been the ' XJiothur
Jonathan" of the Bu'h. Such s result can . but
be evident to any thinking man ; It was indeed,
on the high road to fame and a most erivUl.lu
distinction. But becoming fat, in an unlucky
moment like the man who had grown ."rich en
ough to ride an au," and bad. therefore gotten
above bis fellows, the "Animal" leaped the bars
of its accustomed field, and the next thine ws
heard of him, he, like a man turned xlttician
frera preacher, waa pining for the jrool things ot
life and no doubt, like the silly lamb of old that
eluded the sight of the shepard, and got into the
tbick woods which was found to be ttilesied wlih
Wolves, he wUlied himself back in bis Jd tango.
But the bars hsd been put another rail higher
and be couldn't ret back : besides, be had
crown so lean that lie could not jump.
It Is said thst bon tht alsdomlsthe
beet in
the world. If it dont cost too much. A
nii-hty
tree saying ; one In w tilth there Is more or truin
than poetry or romance, ahd in view of thia old
saying and the Annimsl's experience, his old
fi lends need have little fear that he will at any
lime hereafter cut the same caK-r again. Hu ll
kick any roan that would intimate such a thing.
The Live Girsfto will then be neutral. It will
be devoted to fun, lo the nein, and Uleralnrt. It
will be made tho vehicle of publishing msny a
thought to the world, funny, grave and Instruc
tive, that would have waited itself on the air "as
summer roses do." bot for its columns; It will
seek every opportunity to torn grave and uninter
esting matters into pleasant and areeable Inci
dents ; 0set all Ill-natured humanity It meet
with and monld It anew: expose all rascality
wherever fonnd. whether in Church or Bute
(that's promising a great deal.) or In the social
circle, and keep a strict watch on the pre, litera
ry, religions and political, and see that each
keeps lis bounds.
The cillzens of Raleigh know well enough the
value of such a sheet, and would not do without
it another year for half a million. Why, since the
exit of the Animal from their borders, they have
had more bad luck than was ever heard of before.
More Trusts have been made more liens been
given npon property, more assignments made,
more quarreling and fighting, more drinking of
liquor, more meanness generally, and more 111
lock than ever was known at aoy period since tho
great plagne in Egypt.
Now this ia as plain as daylight, and the only
remedy for snch evils is to trot oat the Animal
again. So I think.
Now, this is the proposition I shall, make lo
yon. I want an assurance of yoor willingness to
patronize the Animal, and to get that assurance I
shall give you fnll opportunity locorresKnd with
me and to send ha all the names that can to so
cored. If W0 names c n bo secured, we shall have no
fears o tho success of (he Animal. He will soon
grow lal when be bebia to take exercise, and,
then be can plead his own case, if not with elo
quent worde, at least with an occasional kick at
ths) boys.
It haa been Intimated to me that the connee
lioa IsusUinrdlotbe-Coreiaa Pennant" wouhl
Injure Ihe Anlmsl since the -Pennsnt'hsd md
denly expired and left many of Its subscribers In
the suds I have to say here, and 1 boe it will
Mltfy every body that I had no interest In tha
Pennant." I wrote most of its Rditorista f r
which I should have received something according
to agreement but 1 did not. I have tried this
cn business and it neither pays nor soils my re
nins. I want a broad hemisphere, a wide tail
tod, and Bobndy to divide Hh me in Ihe spoils.
Tbn. frkods. ws now onderst-nd esch rther.
I want yoa to send roe your names between now
and the first of Jsnnary; If rnonrh respond tho
"Animal" will make hia bow; If not. noharmdnne.
