GY-We clip from the Windham County Tel
egraph, the following well merited eulogum on
the best Family Newspaper in the Union We
are glad to know that the ".Museum" is winning
that share of the public patronage which it SO
well deserves.
'The Boston Weekly Museum has always
been our lavorite among The Literares. It's clean,
intellectual-looking physiogomy, its convenient
size and shape, and its punctual weekly appear
ance would well commend the Museum, to our
best acquaintance, were its acknowledged high
station in the field of purely literary papers, and
its independent, manly grasp of all subjects, in
sufficient to win our esteem. The Museum is in
every respect the best family paper published; its
contents are never fashy, but profitable and en-.
tertaining at the same time. The leaders in the
Editorial matter, to our mind, are the ablest
emanating from Boston News press.
In commencing a new volume, the Publishers
have given their always handsome issue a new
dress throughout, including beautiful new head
ing, and promise the best specimen oftypography
attainable. The writers to the Museum are not
members ofthe Literary Swell.Mob, but WELD
pens whose ability and tact have already gained
regulations. The Museum is published at So
per annum. Address c. A. V. Putnam g. Co.,

Great Fire in springfeld.---The Hampden
House in Ashes.

The Springfield Post of Tuesday, brought us the
sad intelligence of the destruction of the Hamp-
den House by fire, at an early hour Tuesday
morning. The confagration commenced in Mark
Levy's Clothing Store, small wooden building
adjoining the Hampden House, and before doz-
en- persons had reached it, it was well under
way. At first, no fears were felt for the Hampden
House, but the strong North wind soon drove the
flames against it, setting fire to the wooden cor
nices, from which the flames spread with fearful
rapidly to the interior. The building was utterly
destroyed, with nearly all the furniture.
Most of the boarders lost whatever they had in
their rooms, or received them from the windows
in damaged state. The occupants were forced
to fly, and were thankful to escape with whatever
they had upon them. The ''Black Swan,'' who
was stopping at the house, was kindly invited to
the Union House, and every one who was forced
into the streets, was at once provided for.
The house was owned by the Hon, John Mills,
and The loss on the whole property consumed, as
near as can be estima ed, is $4,000. On This,
there is supposed to be about $4,000 insurar ce.
Mr.. White, the proprietor, and Mrs Parsons, the
mistress of the house, lost every thing invested
In furnishing the honse, which Mr.. White thinks
will amount to $25OO or $4,000. In addition to
this, Mr.. White left in his room pocket-book
containing $500, and some valuable jewery.
Altogether, says the Post, it was a scene of
horror and CONSERVATION; such scene as rarely
occurs any where, and there is great reason for
thankfulness that no lives were lost in such
crowded burning pile. BY this unfortunate occur
renee the town will be marred of its beauty for
long time.

hossUTH AT PITTsBURG. TIE recepton
of kossuth at Pittsburg, was very cordial and en-
Fhusiastic. On Monday afternoon, be was inyi-
ted to public festival, at which Hon. A w.
LOOMS presided, When Kossuth canle upon the
stage, the entire audience rose in respectful ST.
dence, which was maintained until his inuoduc-
ton to the meeting, when an overwhelming burst
of applause followed, and capital band struck
up the Marseilles hymn, Order being restored,
MIR LOOMS delivered an eloquent and appropriate
welcome address, very decided in its tone, and
hearty endorsement eff Kossuth's cause and pol
7cy. 1t was frequently applauded.
Kossuth, in reply. said that since he first came
upon our shores, he had felt a sort of magnetic
attraction to the West, as the place where his
hopes were to be realized. As he stood now up-
on the threshold of the West, he felt encouraged
en that hope; his every step taught him that there
was common chord passing Though all the
hearts of humanity, which responds tremendously
whenever touched 1t was the soul of liberty.
justice, and right. The cause of Hungary alone,
was worthy Of all sympathy; but the cause he
pleaded was not hers alone, but of all humanity.
The new doctrine that nations shall no more man.
age their own domestic concerns because despots
will interfere to prevent it, is more dangerous to
the world than anything which has heretofore oc-
Cured
AT the conclusion Of Kossuth's speech, Hon.
Erastus Hopkins, of Mass, was introduced, and
in brief speech, delivered to Kossuth the resolu
ton passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts,
anvitng him to visit the Capitol during its present
session
He said, though Massachusetts looked win
dove, honor, and reverence upon the 'sustrious
Governor of Hungary their honors were not ac-
corded to the mere man, but to the representa-
tive of the great struggle of Europe for liberty and
independence
Kossuth responded briefly. He was happy
that public sentiment expressing itself through
its Constitutional representative. Such manifes-
tatlons were doubly dear, because made with a
full understanding of his mission and purposes.
He thanked the Legislature of Massachusetts for
their resolutions. and their Representative in the
snanner In which It had been presented. He &C
cepted the invitation, and promised to visit Bos-
ton.
