He said, “1 will speak to mother, and if anything can be ne for you, I will do it.” I left Newark for ‘hiladelphia in the 10:30 train; did not go to the Sisters in Newark. Now, dear mother, whilst I am writing this to you Tree you in the doar holy chapel ({rom which I amexcluded in punishment of my sins.) in charity praying the holy Christ to direct you what to do with the unfortunate prodigal, who, in a moment of madness and despair, abandoned your kind care, and the holy peaceful retreat of my Heavenly Fat! ont of which Ihave never had a happy, peaceful moment. Yet‘‘He that willeth not the death of a sinner, but that he be converted and live,” has, in his’ indefinite mercy, inspired me toreturn again, and, like the prodigal, beg to be received as one of His hired servants, because 1am no longer worthy to be called His child, mugh less His spouse. Yes, dear mothef, 1am reafy to undergo any humiliation or mortification that it may please Almighty God to inflet upon me, and will deem | them al'too light to atone for my terrible sins. Tresign myself to the will of God, and will cheerfully accept whatever He ordains for me, whether I am received or not.

ALEXANDRI: Fme.—The alarm of fire about half past eleven o'clock last night, was caused by the burning of the two framed buildings that stood on the southwest corner of the intersection of King and W ao streets. They were both entirely consumed, notwithstanding the well di- rected exertions of the firemen. During the pro- Tese of the fire the rear wall of the corner house ell upon a shed on which were pipemen J. P. Shrakes, Henry Herbner, Geo. S. French, and Allan Ramsay, of the Columbia, crushing it to the ground, with those who were on it, but for- pome Kemi | none of them seriously. The houses belonged to Mrs. S. S. Barbour, and were insured for 83,200. The stock of Corson & Boyd was insured for $300. AccIDESTS TO RalLRoaD Mzy.—Mr. James Davis,a brakesman on the Alexandria and Washin; Railroad, while coupling the cars at the St. Araph street depot, at one o'clock this evening, was caught between the bumpers and severely crushed. Mr. Charles Bennett of Ma- nassas, a brakesman on the O.A.& M. R. R., had his hand severely mashed while coupling the cars at Orange Court House yesterday.

Corse.—Gazette, 10th inst Tne Care oF Lamps.—The easiest way to clean petroleum lamps is to wash with thin milk of lime, which forms an emulsion with the pe- troleum, and removes every trace of it, and by washing a second time with milk of lime and a small quantity of chloride of lime, even the smell may be so completely removed as to ren- der the vessel thus cleansed fit for keeping bev- erages in. If the wilk of lime be used warm, fi ail of cold, the operation is rendered much shorter. The best time for cleanin, ing, for reasons of safety, if not convenience. Scarcely a week passes’ during the winter months, but we read accounts of frightful acci- dents from kerosene lamps exploding and kill- ing or scarring for life women and children. A simple knowledge of the inflammable nature of the fluid would probably put a stop to nearly all the accidents. As the oil burns down into the ‘amp, a highly imflammable gas gathers its surface, and as the oil decreases the gas creases. When the oil is nearly consumed, slight jar will often inflame the gas, and an e: plosion is sure to foliow, dealing with it death and destruction. A bombshell is not more to be dreaded. Now if the lamp is not allowed to burn more than half way down, such accidents sre almost impossible. Always fill your lamp in the morning; then y: fear an ex- plosion.— Rural Home. A BruTat FatHer.—The Memphis Appeal, 5th inst., tell the following story of neglect and brutality: ‘A person who farms for a living, some distance the city, rode in a spring wagon inte town yesterday, bringing with him aliftieson. After figuring’ around for an hour or two, doing world!y business, he pulled up in front of « pow! in the suburbs and went in to re.tesh and comfort himseif. leaving the boy to take care of the horses. The man met some companions in doors with whom he set about becoming convivial, as isthe custom of those who ayeoty ord in suburban groceries. Time sped on.and the boy im the wagon became numbed ith the cold, and fell into a stupor. The them is the morn- lines” dropped from his fingers, and the horse walked off. When it was time to disperse trom the grocery the excellent ftatuer and feeling parent couid find neither wagon nor boy. He nt the whole evening looking for them in the ity, and was going home in a half crazed state when he met his trusty colored man riding in for a doctor, saying the by ‘ Tommy was frozen to death.’ The horse bad walked home, and the stiff child was found still sitting in his seat.” How To Extgact Corrgg.—A scientific paper says: If coftee, after roasting, were made as fine as flour by pounding in a mortar, it conld be extracted so much better as to require no more than two-fifths as mach if it were coarsel, ee. An equally streng extract can be ma y allowing water to stand on the ground, as by giving it a boil or filtering through it. The latter method is the trae one for retaining all of the aroma. When coffee beans are roasted, an em- pyreumatic oil is produced. which being volatile, is expelled if the coffee extract be boiled. It is better to make the grounds as fine as flour, and to extract by filtration, and never to boil. Tae Lecat Vauur or aw Inraxt.—In May last, a little fellow named McNamara was pass- ing Woodruff’s stores, in Brooklyn, with a kettle containing his father's dinner, when a hogshead of sugar, which some of the men were unload- ing, rolled over bim and ernshed him to death His father, Cornelius McNamara, brought an action against Woodruff to recover $5,000 dam- ages for the loss of hisson.
