The Philadelphia Bulletin of Sunday afternoon
has the following account of an outrage committed
in that city by some fire rowdies and which it COL
rectly calls complete feat:''
'FThiS morning, before daylight, an outrage was
perpetrated by some fire rowdies, in most bold
and high handed character. Between four and
FIVE O'Clock, while all quiet, five or six fellows
unknown entered the house Of the Faimont Hose
Company, at the junction Of the Ridge Road and
Eleventh street, either with dead latch key pre-
pared for the purpose by forcing the door which
was easily pushed open, and destroyed a number
Of fire hats and wantonly damaged other property.
Some of them dressed themselves in the equipments
of the Paramount Hose, while Others kept on their
ordinary attire. They, then, muffled the bells of
the carriage and took her out. All this was done
SO adroitly and noiseleSsly not even to disturb
the members of the Company, a numLer OF whom
were sleeping in the house. The apparatus was
run Outin Broad street, above the Monument Gene
terry, the hose unreeled and cut to pieces, and the
carriage thrown over bridge, down precipice,
into stream in the vicinity of Turner'S Lane. The
hose was almost completely ruined and the carriage
broken and battered and altogether Shamefully
damaged. The fragments of the hose and wreck of
the carriage were recovered, after daybreak this
morning, and brought to the house ofthe Company.
'The Outrage is charged upon adherentS of an
other fire Company, in Spring Garden. The per-
petrators have not been detected and, it is pre-
sumed, are not likely to be. The vandal exploit,
was we'll planned, daringly executed and certainly
worthy of better cause. All in all, the feat-bad
as it was-was the greatest thing ofthe kind ever
accomplished, in all the history OF fire rowdying in
Philadelphia"

united States Supreme Court.

In this Court on "Wednesday appropriate notice
was taken of the fact of the death of the Hon.
John M Kinley.slate Judge of this Court. A
motion having been made to place upon the record
Of the Court the proceedings of the BARN reference
to this event Chief Justice fancy made the follow
ing remarks: 8 " n
When the Court assembled at the last term one
of its first acts was to express its sorrow for Inc loss
of highly respected member ofthis Court who dleu
in the preceding vacation. And now when we
meet again we have to lament the death OF announcer
who has. fallen. since the last adjournment. -sE,
We cordially unite with the Bar in all thai tney
have said of the character and worth OF Judge M
KinleY. lie was member Of tnls SolEL t9t ~.
teen years, and we knew him well. ne was .
SOUND lAiySefi faithful and aSSiduOps IN thee
charge OF his duties willie his health was sufficient
to undego the labor. And his life was most prob
ably shortened by the effort he made to attend this
Court at the last adjourned term, WHEN his health
had become too infirm to encounter the tatlgue OF
a Journey to Washington. He was frank and hrm
in his social intercourse aswel as in the discharge
Of his judicial duties. And no man could be more
free from guile OF more honestly eldeavor TO full
fill the obligations which his office imposed upon
him. We truly deplore his death.
We have indeed met together at the present
term unler circumstances peculiarly painful
And when we ARE speaking of the loss sustained
by the death of brother Of the Bench, we una
voidably call to mind the three distinguished mem
berS OF the Bar VINO mas lieu Slice tue last seSStO
OF the Cont Very soon after the adjournment
the death Of Henry Clay was announced. In a
few months Afterwards Daniel Webster followed
him. And before thus term commenced the name
OfJohn Sergeant was added to the melancholy list.
These gentlemen have all for the last thirty years
been identified with the proceedings Of this Court,
standing alwaysin the foremost ranks of the pro-
reSsion, and ornamenting it by their genius, their
learning and their eloquenee. And while they
were maintaining this distinguished position before
the judicial ibunals, they were able at the same
time to place their names among the leading and
eminent statesmen of the day, exercising strong
and wide influence upon the great political ques-
tons which were agitated during the period in
which they lived.
The interval between the last and present session
OF the Court has been brief onej but sad events
have been crowded in it. And we shall direct the
proceedings ofth Bar and this response 10 be en-
tered on the records Of this Court, as the evidence
ofthe deep sense which this Court entertain at the
loss sustained at the Bar well as on the Bench.
