We understand thai the owners OF the
store where the fire originated have been
arrested. l it shall appear that they had
powder in the store. they will be tried for
murder.
The pillering fraternity, in spite of ev,
cry precauion, did very extensive bust
uess. We learn that a lady living in
WhitehaIl-street was induced by some
oficious persons to commence removing
her furniture 10 the Battery. She after"
wards found that her advisers, for the in
eresl they had taken in her affairs, had
carried of all her silver, gold watch. chair
and other JeweIy. Mrs. Latase't. in
Greenwich-slreet, had all her bed linen
Pot up in bundles and placed on The Bat

unid people attribute The effect Of this i'm
prudence TO other causes, and see in sud

and if they had correct hearts, they might
feel honored in taking his coal black hand

who had witnessed both, those Of Zerah
Coburn. The lad is the son of Mr. Il Fl
| Stafford, of RoyaItoD, in this State
Questions proposed 10 him by Hon. H
Everett, and others, were answered with
readiness and accuracy which were
truly surprising. By purely mental
process he multiplied factors of three fig.
creS each, e. G, $40 by 397-extrac,ing
the cube root in sums of three periods
gave The common multiple OF numbers,
and answered On, slons involving the
principles ofcompound proportion, with
the greatest readiness and perfect exact~
ness; and what was equally Interesting,
having performed The operation in his
mind, he readily explained upon the slate
the process by which be arrived at the re.
sui, With the principles Of the higher
branches of mathematics, he seemed TO be
as familiar as most boys of his age are
with The multiplication table, AS mat.
ter of recreation he has made all the astro-
nomlcaI calculations for an Almanac, aid
ed only by the tables ordinarily made use
OF t'r such purposes. tle has also caicu-
lated a set Of tables showing the duty on
WOO valued from one to sixty cents, IN
der all the tariff laws since 1915.
Such mind, properly directed and
permitted TO come 10 maturity, may do

there is great danger of its being mis-
directed, overworked, and ruined - W.
