The Burning of the Lunatic Asylumat Newburgh, Ohio.

We have rarely been called upon to re-cord a more serious and lamentable pub-lic calamity than the nearly total destruc-tion by fire, Wednesday afternoon, of theNorthern Ohio Lunatic Asylum, at New-burgh. The buihlinewas a splendid structure, nine hundred feet in length, the ex-terior walls being entirely of stone. Twolarge wings had just been completed, at acost of three hundred thousand dollars.These increased the capacity of the insti-tution to six hundred patients, fully thatnumber being on the books at the time ofthe disaster. The crowded condition ofthe Asylum was owing to the fact thatthere were a hundred and fifty patientsfrom the Central Ohio district, the newasylum at Columbus, upon the site of theone burned two or three years ago,' notbeing yet completed.

It was hoped at first that the flamesmight be extinguished without creatingalarm among the multitude of inmates,the consequences of which none couldforetell. In the course of fifteen prtwenty minutes, however, it was foundthat in spite of every effort, the flameshad worked downward, and were rapidlyspreading through the upper story of thebuilding, in every direction. The sadtruth was felt that at lea l the center por-tion was doomed to destruction. Orderswere given for the immediate removal ofthe patients, and a large number of theattaches of the institution and others, ad-dressed themselves to this work with thegreatest zeal and energy, while others stillsought, by the aid of "hose, buckets, andother appliances at hand, to check tbeflames.

The scenes that ensued during the nexthour almost defy description. The offi-cers and attendants throughout the insti-tution made haoto to unlock the doors ofthe various wards and cells, and directedthe inmates to leave the building at once.A portion of them complied promptly,and even rendered valuable assistance inthe rescue of others. Some of the un-fortunate were appalled with terror, andbecame absolutely frantic, uttering pierc-ing shrieks and cries. The extreme ditB- -cuity of controlling GOO lunatics undersuch circumstances can be but faintlyimagined. Many resolutely refused toleave their cells, concealing themselves inclosets or under their beds, and neitherpersuasion nor threats were of anv avail.In many instances it was found necessaryto pull them out of their hiding places bymain force. In several cases, such stoutresistance was made that the strength oftwo or three men was required to over-come a single patient. In a few of theworst cases, they struggled fearfully,fighting and resisting with that almostsuperhuman power so often manifestedDy tne insane.

Some of them insisted on taking withthem all their clothing, bedding, and arti-cles of every kind, and could only withthe utmost difficulty be forced to leavewithout them, une man tied up on 1mmense bundle that would have staggeredapacktior.se, and was vainly tugging tolift it from the floor, lie had to be actually torn away from it by two men, anddragged to the place of exit.

The female patients were even moredillicult to manage than the males. Moresusceptible to excitement and alarm,many of them ran hither and thither, infrantic terror, some making all haste toescape, and others, as in the cases of themen, refusing to leave their cells. Scoresof them were taken by force, resisting inevery possible way, with all theirstrength. Several patients, after beingset at liberty in the grounds, rushed backinto the burning building, to be againborne struggling out. In that part of theDUiiuiHg nearest wnere the nre originated,some of the wards were filled withstifling heat and smoke before the last ofthe patients therein could be conductedto a place of safety. Further from thecentre, the wards were generally clearedbefore the nre reached them. Hundredsof men and women from the village andthe region adjacent to the Asylum wereengaged in the work of rescuing the pa-tients, in all parts of the building, andthe excitement was intense Deyona anpower of expression in words. The fire,meanwhile, had been making rapid81 rules, and before (ho removal il tlie inmutes; from the reunite wards had beencompleted, tho interiorof the central por-tion was one mass of Hume.

Shortly before two o'clock, throo-qnar-ter.- sof tm iiour after the lire waa discov-

ered, a terrible casualty occurred, causingthe only loss of life positively known upto Wednesday evening. Near tho renterof tho dome was an immense tank con-taining 8,001) gallons of water, k'jit con-stantly f "U "e supply of the building.Tito supports of the tank having burnedaway, U fell, the great weight currying itentirely down t'i the basement, crashingthrougli all the intermediate Honrs.

irccu s;iiiui ini up a iovr vaiunuiea uuiung- -ing to her. She was in the hall, near thefront,.-- probably about to descend thestairway, when the terrible crash came.The falling mass passed near her, tear-ing up tho floor under her feet.' In someway one of her limbs got fast in the debri,and it was impossible for her to extricateherself. Joseph Turneyand John Dipleywere in the reception room, on the secondfloor, trying to save the piano and otherarticles of value, Immediately afterthe crash they i discovered MissWalker in her perilous condition, andmade every efTort in their power to saveher. Seizing a bed they shouted to herto drop hersulf upon it, not knowing thatshe was held fast by the timbers, Thestairs bad been carried away, and it wasimpossible to get to her. They took holdof the other foot, which hung down overthe edge of the chasm, and tried to pullher down, but without avail. The Arewhich had been cairied down by the fall-ing tank blazed up through the opening,and at length, scorched and well nighsuffocated with the heat and smoke, theywere obliged to abandon her or inevitablyshare the same terrible fate themselves.When they lefther her clothing had takenAre, and she was quickly enveloped inflames. The men were in a critical situa-tion, escape by the stairway having beencut off. Mr. Turney tied some sheets to-gether, and was about to descend by thatmeans, when a long plank was placed upto a window, and he got down in safety.Mr. Dipley got out upon the roof of theverandah, and reached the ground bysliding down one of the pillars.

It is also probable that Benjamin Bur-gess, of Bedford, lost his life at this time.He happened to be in the village, andwas among the most active in' his eSortsto save life and property. It is knownthat he waa at or near the place where thetank fell through, and up to eveningnothing more had been seen or heard ofhim. It is supposed he was crushed bythe fall.

Alfred Brown, aged 14, only son of therailway station agent at Newburgh, at thesame time received injuries that will, inall probability, prove fatal. Une of hislegs was broken, and he was drenchedwith hot water, being literally scaldsdfrom head to foot. He was removed toa neighboring house and medical aidsummoned. He suffered the most ex-cruciating agony, and it was the opinionof the physician that he could not lonasurvive.

William Guy, a young man of theInge, was badly bruised and burned, al-though it is believed his injuries will notprove serious.

Elisha Pease, also of Newburgh, wasseverely injured, but a fatal result is notfeared.

Walter Y. Morgan, an attache of theAsylum, received an uely gash in theforehead, caused by a falling timber. ' -

About the grounds the scene was oneof the wildest confusion. Hundreds ofpeople were running into and out of thebuilding, after tho inmates had all beenremoved, eugaged in saving movableproperty. A vast amount of betidingand furniture of every kind was borneout and heaped upon the ground. Sixhundred insane men and women werescattered about, many of them screamingand rushing wildly through the crowd.As long as any were in danger witnin tuebuilding the only thought was to savelife, and they were suffered to roam atwill outside. As soon as possible an or-ganized effort was made to gather themtogether, and take care of them as wellas possible under the trying circumstances. The people of Newburgh didnobly, throwing open their houses for thereception of the sick, who had been allsafely carried out on beds, and such othersas were harmless and could oe trusted intheir charge. They extended every facil-ity in their power for meeting the terribleexigencies of the occasion.

The majority of the patients were grad-ually collected and removed in wagons tothe churches In the village, all 01 wnicnwere immediately thrown open to them.Considerable difficulty was experienced inremoving them from the grounds. Somehad to be forced into the vehicles by mainstrength, and it was necessary for attend-ants to accompany every load. Pale,haggard and wild, beating the air andraving incoherently, moaning and weep-ing in their distress, uttering maniacallaughs, or sitting in sullen silence, thoseunfortunates presented a spectacle thatmoved the stoutest neart. Uy 4 o clockall had been removed to' the village or theneiehborinir houses.

Similar scenes were witnessed at thechurches, where the greater portion werecollected. Vuw had sufficient reason tocomprehend the event of the day,Some crouched down in terror, othersraved wildly, or indulged in singing,laughing, crying, shouting, or sweannir,the whole uniting to form a terriblechorus that seemed like Pandemoniumitself. Xo words can give adequate por-trayal to the scene. Nnrses and attend-ants belonging to the asylum were placedin chares of each detachment, and themen aud women of the village, in fargreater number than could possibly beemployed, offered their services to assistin caring for the needy.

Miss Walker, whose sad death hasbeen mentioned, was a most estimablelady, about forty years of age. She hadbeen connected with the asylum for sixyears, and was universally held in hitrhesteem. ner friends live in Newburgh.

Mr. Burgess was a young married manliving in Bedford. It was not knownpositively that he was killed, but at darkhis friends had little hope left that he hadescaped.

It whs thought by some that twothree of the patients lost their lives, butit was the general belief among the offi-cers of the asylum that all were saved.few of them were scorched, but none seriously burned. It will be impossibleseveral days to know whether any werelost. Quito a number escaped when theywere released. As soon as the heatthe fire has abated a search anions:ruins will develop the extent of the losslite.

The loss of the State may be roughlyestimated at $ 000,000, on which there wasno insurance. Ut course, prompt mcasures will bo taken to rebuild the Asylumas it is an absolute necessity to tho State,What will lie done in the meantime withthe CO patients is a question not easilyanswered.

Later reports show that at leastother persons besides Miss Walker andMr. Burgess fell victims to the calamityMany or' the patients are still missing whoare thought to have escaped.--CUmlu- ndHerald, heptember 20.

Minute Mechanism.

To show the intrenuit v and skillsome of the inventive spirits of the pastand present day, says a wrlterln the Chicago Tribune, we will give a few examplesWhich wo have gleidied from varioussources. In tbo Museum at Salem, Mass,(which place will lie l etter rememberedw hen wo are told that it was the placewhleu Hawthorne penned manv ofconlnbuiiuus to tho literary world), Ischerry-ston- o which contains Tine dozensilver spoons. Tho stoue itself U ofordinary size; but the spoons are so smallthat ll'.i'ir Hiapc or finish can oulv be diatingulshed by tho microscope. Herotho result of immense labor lor no deeidcdly Useful purpose; and there are thouaands of otlierohlcets, the T'lluoof whichin a utilitarian sense, mav be said toquito as inditlitrent. Dr. Oliver givesaccount of a cherry-ston- on which worocurved one hundred and twenty-fou- rheads, so distinctly that the nakedcould distinguish tiuisv belonging to l)ea

and Kings bv their mitres and crowns. Itwas bought in Prussia for $15,000, andthence conveyed to England, where Itwas considered an object of so much valuethat Its possession was disputed, and itbecame the object of a suit in chancery.One of the Nuremberg s in-closed in a cherry-stone- , which was ex-hibited at the French Crystal Palace, aplan of Sebastopol, a railway station,and the 'Messiah" ' of - Klopstock.n more remote times, ' an account is

given of an ivory chariot, constructed byMermecides, which was so small that afly could cover it with his wing; also ahip of the same material, which could

be hiddea under the wing "of abee! Pliny, too, tells us that Homer's'Iliad," with - its 15,000 verses,

was written in so small a space asto be contained in a nutshell, which waspobably the richest kernal ever found inany species of nut in existence. Elianmentions an artist who wrote a dlstltchIn letters of gold, which he Inclosed inthe rind of a kernel of corn. But theHarleian MS. mentions a greater curios-ity than any of the above, it beingnothing more nor less than the Bible, written by one Peter Bales, a chancery clerk,in so small' a book that It could beinclosed in the shell of an English walnut.Jjisraeli gives an account Of maay otherexploits similar to the 'one of Bales.There is a drawing of the head of Charles11. in the library of St. John's College,Oxford, wholly composed of - minutewritten characters, which, at a smalldistance, resemble the lines of an engrav-ing. The head and the ruff are said tocontain the Book of Psalms, in Greek,and the Lord's Prayer. In the BritishMuseum is a portrait of Queen Anne,not much larger than the hand. On thhidrawing is a number of lines andscratches, which, it is asserted, comprisethe entire contents of a thin folio. Themodern art of photography is capableof effecting wonders in this way a fact

hien was taaen advantage ol by theFrench in sending dispatches, by carrier-pigeon-

outside the city. We have beforeus a copy of the Declaration of Indepen-dence, containing 17,800 letters, on a spacenot larger than the head of a pin; which,when viewed through a microscope, maybe read distinctly. - Theee instancesmight be multiplied ml infinitum, it spacepermitted; but enough is as good as aeast, and I will close Dy mentioning tne

following facts as showing the crude valuertrvi the industrial value of an article: Apound weight of pig iron costs the opera- -lve mannfacturer about trvo cents.

This is worked up into steel, ofwhich is made the little - spiralspring that moves the balance wheel of awatch. Each of these springs weighsbut the tenth part of a grain, and, whencompleted, may be sold as high as $3; sothat, out of a pound of iron, allowing forthe loss of the metal in working, 0,000of these springs may be made, and a sub-stance worth bnt five cents be wroughtinto a value of f2 10,000.

The Kind of Man that Was Wanted.A first-rat- e story is told of a very prom

inent man, who lived in Detroit fortyyears ago (so a correspondent writes us),and who at mat time owned more steamboat stock than any other man in theWestern country, besides other wealth toa large amount.

Like manv of the pioneers who acquired great riches, he was very ignorantin all that books taught, but his learningwas more like wisdom, and in commonwith many who have lived and passedaway, but left their mark behind them,he knew what tree would make shinglesby looking at it.

He had, at the time of our story, justcompleted a splendid new warehouse atliutlalo, and wanting a suitable ciers totake charge of it. he advertised for onein the papers. The next morning early acandidate for the position presented him-self, a rather too flashy young man inappearance, but tne ioiiowwg conversation occurred :

" Youne man. when you make a mistake in any of your books, how do youcorrect it r

The vonne man explained, in a veryprofuse manner, how he should proceedto make it all rieht.

A irood way no doubt to do it," replied the old gentleman, " but I shan'twant vou.

Very soon anoiner aspirant, put in anappearance. A similar question wasasked him, and in a long and eloquentmanner he pointed out the remedy in all

.such cases.All the reply was: "Tonne man,

shan't want vou."Some three or rour otners dropped in

durinc the dav. and to each one the samequestion was put, and they all had somesmart way of covering up errors in theirbooks. '

The old eentleman was entirely iirnO'rant himself of the art of book-keepin-but he had wisdom in all things, which simore than a match for learning.

Jnst at the close of the day a plainlydressed man, with a bright eye and ibrisk step called for the situation.

"Take a seat, sir," ?aia tbe old gentle-man, "I want to ask you just one question. When you make a false entry onyour books, how do you go to work tocorrect it?"

Tmnini. a,nA , I a ftnQ.Monom . Anil,1U1UIUK uuuu juo uuwau,uuv& u vuiuisharp look, the young man replied: "idon't make them kind of mintake. tir."

"Ah! mv dear sir, you are lust the manI have been looking for all day," and infew moments after, the man who corrected his blunders by not making them, was

No one who laces habitually can havea straight or strong back. 1 he muscles,being unbalanced, become flabby or contracted, unable to support the body erect,

of and a curvature usually a double curva-ture of the spine is the consequence,

of And if any thing wore needed to aggravatethe spinal curvature, intensity the compression of the internal viscera, and addto the general deformity, it is found inthe modern contrivance of stilted gaiters.These aro made with heels so high andnarrow that locomotion is awkward andpainful, the centre of gravity is shifted''to parts unknown," and the headthrown forward and the hips projected

Speaker Blaine's Exposition of theLiberal Campaign of Lies.

At Cleveland. Ohio, a few day ago.there was a immense mass meeting of Republicans, at which Senator Wilson anaGeneral Garfield were the chief speakers.In the evening there was a grand torcn- -light procession, and a meeting in theDufillc square. DDeaaer tsiaine maae asDeech. in the course of which he said :

This campaign will remain memorable asthe campaign of lies the most monstrous,tue most malicious, ana at me same time uiomost silly.

The leader ot this wild carnival or aera-mation and lande-- 8 is the New York Tribune, the personal organ and mouthpiece ofthe Democraac candidate for tne presidency,To show you how reckless and how sense-less tbe man is, let me maka a personal al-lusion to myself. In the New YorK Tribuneof Saturday last, and also of yesierday, I amcbarged, not only as a Kepreaeatallve in (Jobgrcss, but as speaker or tne House, wltuhaving received $1,930,000 of the stock ofthe Eastern Division of the Union PacificRailroad Company for my services and inlluence in procuring the passaire of thooriginal Pacific Railroad bill of IStiAlne limine gives tne a ate or tneact In tbe same article in whichIt makes the charge, not seeming tonotice, in its blind desire to assail me, that itwas simply convicting itself or falaenoou andof folly. Now, gentlemen, please observetbat tn IMi'--, when tins act was passed, I naanot taken my seat in Congress; I bad notbeen elected to Congress; indeed, I had noteven been nominated for Congress. Whenthe act to which the Tribune refers became alaw, I was a member of. the Maine Legisla-ture and Speaker Tit the Lower House, andhad no more to do with the Congressionallegislation than the fish raiders and tidewaiters on the Kennebec River, and yet theNew York Tribune asserts and repeats thatfor my services, and inlluence in Congress, attba time l was a member m too Maine .Legi-slature, I received nearly $3,000,000 in thestock ol a great railroad corporanoa.

Wow, geutlemen, l never .received, anystock ot tbe L uton faclne Railroad Company, or any other division ot the Pacific Railroad Company, nor did 1 ever receive a dollar.directly or indirectly, from the sale ofany stock of that company. In fact, gentle-men, I stamp the whole story aa not onlyfalse on its face, but absurd and ridiculous,but 1 do not expect to make a denial tbatwill satisfy tha Tribune.

A few weeks since, wben the first storywas started that secretary Bout well, v ice-President Colfax. Senator Wilson. Mr. Garfield, Mr. Dawes, myself and others hadbeen bribed by presents of stock iu theCreilit Mubilier, I published a card on the eveot the Maine election, saving that I hadnever owned, directly or indirectly, tbronghmyself or through another, a single dollaror stock in tne ireau jmouier. tue newYork Tribune pronounced this denial evasiveand unsatisfactory, and said that I did notdeny that I had received dividends or profitstherefrom. Any candid man, I think, wouldsee that mv card was Intended to be exbaustlve, and to include all suppositions ofownership. Let me say now, however, thatnot only did I never own a share in theL reilU Mubilier. bnt I never received, directlyor indirectly, a single penny therefrom inany shape or manner whatever.

But this mania for bearinz false witnessafalnat vcnir netfrhhor has adzed Mr. Greelevpersonally, as well ss the New York Tribune,for I observe that In a recent speech in Pennsylvania he stated that more than $100,000bad lieen expended by the Republicans ofMaine In the purchase of votes at the recentelection. Now, In the very nature of things,It would he Impossible for Mr. Greeley toknow that this was true, but I know it to beabsolutely untrue. I am Chairman of tbeState Committee, and on mv order every dollar of the funds of that committee waa dis-bursed, and from first to last we did nothave, in all, the control of but little morethan $13,000: and I further assert that everydollar of this amount was expended eitherlu the payment of speakers, the distrinutioof documents and papers, or the bringingborne ol absent voters, inese accountsthe State Committee are kept with riaid exactness, and tha entire committee of sixteenmen will testify to the truth of what 1 stateI arraign Mr. Greelev. therefore, as the slanderer of tbe Republicans of Maine, a partyas gallant anil true men as ever caa', an unpurchased and uupurchaaable vote.

A tearful wife implored the pardonot the Mayor ot Chicago lor ner nusbanawhom his honor had imprisoned, in de-fault of his fine, for beating nor.

I I3T To the great regret of the Greeleyorgans, the Administration of PresidentGrant continues to reduce the national debt.The reduction for tha month of Septemberamounts to nearly ten millions aad a half.

tW The New York ibst suggests, in viewof Mr. Greeley's demands that the countrybe surrendered to the Democracy because tbelatter are converted, that It la usual for thaconvert to go to the church, not the churchto the convert.

During three years ot Johnson's Ad-- -ministration, with a tax of two dollars agallon on whisky, only $88,000,000 weracollected. During the three years of Grant' ,Administration, with a ta of fifty cents agallon on whisky, tha amonnt collected apdturned Into the Treasury was $157,000,000.

Pittsburgh's In-dustries add very largely from year to yearto the wealth of the natiou. But these industries depend npon a firm and peacefulGovernment. General Grant has given usthis. Where men made six dollars a weekunder Buchanan they make now at leastthree times as much. We prefer, therefore.an Administration that gives us prosperity.As Mr. Greeley loves us so well, suppose hovotes for Grant." .

tSTThe adjustment of Carl Schurz's account with the United 8tates Treasury, forhis services aa Minister to Spain, leaves alittle balance due from Carl of $1,013.91.For the last month he has been speakingdaily (Sundays excepted) at the rate of $250a speech.

clined to expatiate upon tho "enormousburdens of Federal taxation " aad tbe " odious Internal revenue," may be able to tellthe truth by the following Intelligence: First

By the act of June , 1873, which went Intoeffect October 1, the only Governmentstamps henceforth required are for tobacco,fermented liqnors, proprietary medecine,matches and bank checks. Sesond Theax on incomes has expired by limitation.

If there is a shadowof doubt upon any honest mind tbat theOakes Ames business has been a pure Inven-tion from first to last, Mr. Colfax's clear andcrushing reply to the Uiored misrepresenta-tions which have been circulated on tha sub-ject cannot fail to dissipate It; and now ob-serve the way In which tho Chicago and NewYork Tribunes aud the Springfield JirpiMicanwill wriggle ont of tne auemma in wnicuMr. Colfax has placed thaca. --V" YorkTimet.

Grant's elec-tion, it says, would be less a calamity than
