SCENES DESCRIBED BY A VICTIM.
Mr. Kendal O’Dwyer, one of tho city
detective corps, went with the mass into
the abyss, and that describee his fall and
subsequent experience:
I was standing near the gallery when
it gave way, and rushed with others, to
the center of the room, an then fell with
a crash, and in a mass were tangled and
half hurried in the plaster, timbers and
lath’s. I cannot tell how I felt, but it was
an exceedingly carious and sacred sensa
tion. With the settling of the ceiling
upon us, I was crashed down lower and
beneath many others in total darkne&i,
and almost unable to breathe. A por
tion of a man’s body, which was bleed
ing pressed close to my month, and thus,
I believe, I swallowed not less than a
pint of his warm blood, which however
moistened my mouth, which was full of
dost and sand. How long I lay praying,

it felt like an age.
I got weaker and weaker each moment
aa I lay with the dead and some breathing
men around me, until I beheld a glim
mer of light near by. I can never forget
that little particle of light as it penetra
ted through the broken timbers, benches
and suffocating dust and mortar. It
saved my life, for I had then ro hope.
Sometime afterwards I could hear noise»,
and then the timbers were palled away
and I was taken out more dead than
alive.
Mr. O’Dwyer was then placed in a
wagon, still praying. His arm was bro
ken, bnt of this accident he did not seem
to be aware. When he reached his home
he warmly embraced bis father and motli.

you both; I thought I should never see

FROM Ai'JLAJ* l A-
I s ion Bncios, April 28, 1870,
During a heavy thunder shower, between 5 and
6 o'clock, this afternoon, the “Lomax” Ware
house, owned by Wells A Blackman, was struck
by lightining and consumed. The building con
tained tome 400 bake of cotton, SOObarrela fer
tilizers, 10 hogsheads bacon, and other articles.
In a few minutes after a heavy clap of thunder
he cry of fire was sounded, and in ten minutes
the whole front of the building, occupied as
storerooms and offices, waa a sheet of flames.
Citizens’ Fire Company No. 1, as well as almost
the entire male population, were early on
spot—not, however, before the fire had gained
such headway as to be beyond human control.
All labored with a determination and heroism wi
have seldom known excelled, and one poor fel
low, an attaeboe of the bailding, came near lotting
his life from exposure to ths intense heat, while
many became overheated and exhausted. Tho
warehouse was a large wooden structure,
by knocking down a portion of the more remote
walls, about 100 bales of cotton waa saved. The
guano and baoonwas a total lose. 8*me 50,000
feet of lumber piled up near the eastern end was
saved by great exertion. The bailding and
tents were insured by the Georgia home of your
city for *5,000. The travelling agent of the
company, Johnio Coart, arrived on the Colum
bus train Just as the fire broke out, an labored
manfully for his company. Owing to the heavy
sand and rain, the fire engine coufd not be got
in position in time to render any efficient
ees-vice. Fortunately, at the time of the striking
of tbs warehouse men were all outside of the
building. _

There is such a tiling as blasphemy evei

piety—the act would be regarded as tho meet
infamous blasphemy. In this light vro-aro dis

They (tho Radicals) robbed, murdered and op
pressed our people just as for zb their self-inter

altar, and join them in thanks that bom
scheme less devilish than the other has prosper
ed, would strike us as impious. In His wise
Providence God permits evil, but nowhere does
He enjoins us to give praieo and thanks for its
existence. The whore of Babylon was tolera
ted, but no where were altars erected to
memorate Lercrimes. We see no cause Tors
public thanksgiving, and believe that were v,-e
foolish enough to engage in any each thing,
these miscreants, whose daily study has been
to wrong our people, would appropriate, If possi
ble, every syllable of thanks that fell from our
lips. No articulation of praise or thanks wonld
reach the throne of God could they intercept it.
Lotus therefore on the 20th, attend to onr own

A THBILUNO INCIDENT
In the mission life of Mrs. Ingalls, in Hannah, is
well ♦old in the Baptist Messenger, relating how
she was sent for to visit one of the Bnadhist
high priests, who had been nearly killed, and
how, while in tho most holy place in their tem
ple, where none but priests had never before
been admitted, she was permitted unrebuked to
uee for him the sacred vessels, which none but
the high priest dare touch, and to even overturn
and sit on one of their gods to rest; all through
the magic influence of the Pain KiUer, called by
them tho God Medicine, so snccefofaUy had she
used it in curing their many diseases, some of
them considered heretofore fatal in that climate,
among which were cholera, liver complaint,
ayspepaia. the bites of venomous reptiles, Ac.
Thin speaks roinmos for the i*ai n Killer Lon
don Times.
The New York papers print a letter
from'the son of tbo late President Lopez,
in which he avers that the blood of his
father and the thousands who liavo cheer-
fully died on the battle-fields of Paraguay
cannot long remain unavenged.

vlll referring to it:
Mesars. J. N. Harris A Co.—Gent*: I make
tho following statement from a perfect convic
tion of the benefita oT Allen's Lung wsirim in
curing the must doep seated pulmonary con
sumption. I have witnessed ita effects on the
young and the old, and I can truly say that it Is
by far tho beet expectorant remedy with which 1
am acquainted. For cougha, and all the earlv
stages of lung complaints, I believe it to boa
certain cure, and if every family would k*
it by them, ready to administer upon the
appearance of diseaae about the Kings, there
would be very few cases of fetal consumption *
causes thc pnlcgra and matter to ratee, wit
irritating tbe longs, and without producing
•npation or five bowels. It also Kites strength
tho system, stops tho nightswests, and changes
all ths morbid secretions to a healthy state.
