A Terrible Conflagration, In vrhirfi Man looses all he has of Wwrldly Good, with Narrow Escape from JUeatli! As we go to press the alarm of fire is sounded, and we find the residence of E. H. Crawford on fire and beyond any possibility or saving. The particulars are, as near as we can hastily learn; as follows Mrs. Crawford was preparing some wax, and leaving it in a kettle upon the stove, she went out to look after the chickens, leaving her little girl, aged about three years, in the rt ora.

Her first alarm was by a crash, and upon looking out saw-the house in. fla ines. 4 Sh -an fr iih licaliy to'save the ijttle one, not knowing but hat it mights be' irr lire "ruins; had rati into another roofil, W'ith the flames rushing after her, and in another moment would have been a victim but the mother rushing in snatched her from the flames, having her hair and eyebrows singed; but maternal devotion knew no fear, and as we asked her afterwards, "Didn't you save anything?" "Ye, sir," replied she, saved my child Not a vestige of the happy home remains. Furniture, clothing, library rind all are gone. Nothing is saved and the unfortunate family has the" sympathies of many friends.

Sir. Wm." May kindly shared bis roof with them, and the devoted mother and child were at once cared for. Mr. C. is a hard-working man, and though he asks nothing in charity, yet it is only humanity, for those, who, have it to give, that it should be given.

R. Peck, United States District Attorney, in accordance with instructions from the Attorney General of the United States," have been daring the past three weeks, preparing to coimitenee legal proceedings in" the Circuit Court of United States, against the Missouti, Kansas Texas Railway Company and Laven-worth, Lawrence Galveston Railroad Company, and two bills in chancery were filed on Wednesday, in court, to test" the validity of the claim of these, companies to the Osage Ceded Lands. -These buits will ZTir' ftitlwy aiwufi States, and nnder the" Inst ructions of the Attorney General. The District Attorney, Geo. R.

Peck, is required to accept the aid and assistance of the settlers' counsel. Gov. Shannon and Judge McCouias. It will be remembered that some few weeks emcethe settlers sent a telegiam to the President re questing him to instruct the Attorney General to suspend proceedings against these companies. At that time, it was nnderstond that Judge Thacher, the Attorney for" the L.

G. ''Railroad, who was then at Washington, had procured the order the inte rest of his company and that the settlers counsel would not be permitted to appear in these cases. Since the telegram mentioned wasL sent," Gov. Shanuon and Judge McComasHiave had a pt.rfe-t understanding with District Attorney ek ia regard to the management of these suits, and Mr. Pick has done, and is now doing, everything in his "lower to bring these suits to a successful termination, and has gone to work with a determination which evinces his good faith and honesty of pentose, so far as the settlers are concerned, and tiros far he has taken no steps whatever in the commencement of these suits without a full and free consultation with the settlers' counsel, and has agreed to proceed in these suits under hiWs and pleadings as may he drawn up by the settlers counsel.

Second, it was at a regular called meeting of the settlers and was attended by nearly two hundred members. Third, Mr.

Reese not being there, there was not any slobbering done, but the settlers after listening to Mr. Peck for nearly one hour and every one having a chance to ask any question that they desired, they ail became satisfied that in Mr. Peck we have a friend, for he has but to be true to himself, true to his county, true to his God and then he will be true to us M.
