0CE terrible warfare is going on in the
realms of fashion, in the city of New York
in consequence of some Monster having in
vaded the long established Goldfish rule of Ell
qnet'e, by venturng out at a fashionable par
ty with ''Grock coat" on, aud pair of color
ed gloves, instead OF whiteikids. The young
adventurer got well paid for his presumption,
in sneers, cuts of all sorts, and the coolest
kind of neglect generally. However, the
case is now undergoing investigation, before
the tribunal of Fashion, between the
F;orkiss andAnti-Frockies, and so far as the
case has developed itself, the prospects of the
latter class, (they being largely in the major
ity) appear to be Frightening, and against the
first victim no malicious or felonious intent
has been shown.

of the terrible facts which have since been

fair:

two servants, man and woman. The three
former he killed instantly, but the servant
man managed, though badly wounded, to get
to the adjoining place and tell the tale o

The MILITARY AsTiUM.-Maj. Gen. Scott
Gen. Wool, and Surgeon Gen. Lawson,
have reported adversely to the locating OF a
Military asylum at the Blue Licks' when
Mace. it will be recollected, they visited last
fall. during the political campaign. They
give the following reasons. s1,.ai
I. That the locality was not "eliglbleY In
the sense of s.preferable'' site. That al
though the site was quito healthy, and sur
rounded by abundant means of subsistence,
at reasonable rates, it was not. comparative
". as accessible as we desired. 8. That 1t
was not clear, that Congress, by the provi-
sion of law, quoted above, would pay for the
property out of the Treasury of the United
States. should the board contract for its pur-
chase. 4. Because the board decided, at the
same meeting, that it was not assured of the
sufficency of its own means to proceed with
the establishment of a Western asylum.
