DIVORCE EyTRAoRDINARY.-A woman applied
to one of our attorneys, not long since, to take
steps towards procuring divorce on account Of
habitual drunkenness and ill-treatment in her
liege-lord. The attorney, who is strong tenn
perance man, was much impressed with the
story Of her wrongs, and engaged to commence
necessary proceedings at once. A few days ago
the fair plaintiff called again to consult about
the case, and at the close Of the interview in
quired how long it would be before the matter
was finally contaminated. The attorney re-
Piled that he sincerely commiserated her stu

STRUCK BY demonstrating the severe
thunder storm which occurred yesterday after
noon, a cow stable belonging to Caleb sneidiker,
on Apollo, near Washington street, was struck
by lightning and consumed. A considerable
number of cattle inside the building were burned
alive. 1t is supposed the flash, or sheet, or
bolt, was attracted by the inviting appearance
of a tin cow upon the top Of the building. A
small dwelling house adjoining, belonging to
Mr.. Burnett, was also destroyed; but the arri-
val of the fremen, whom neither the falling tor
rents nor inundated streets could check, pre-
vented the further progress of the flames

MuRDER.-The body of a man named Hamil-
ton, who had been employed in some capacity
about the Sixth District Court, was found IN
the Old Basin, near the Globe Ball Room, this
morning. He had been seen in company with
some one in that vicinity between the hours of
IL and IL night before last, and some time af
forwards q disturbance and cries were heard in
the neighborhood of the spot where his body
was found. The whole of the front part of the
skull was split open as if with an axe or some
other sharp instrument, and a considerable
cash was found over the left eye. No clue has
been obtained to the cause or perpetrators of
the bloody deed. An inquest was held upon the
body yesterday and verdict rendered that
deceased came to his death by blows from
some sharp instrument or instruments, in the
hands of some person or persons unknown

FISHING FOR A NEaRo.--Under this head, we
related yesterday what some may consider a
mere 's fish story"--but such is not the fact
The story as we related it's strictly true, and
we only regret that in our notice yesterday we
omitted the name of the generous owner of the
negro. 1t was Mr.. William Randolph, the ferry
proprietor. Since then, we are happy to relate,
his gratitude to Mr. Casey has experienced an
enlargement, and he added SIS TO the 50 pre-
viously given under the sudden impulse of
generosity, making ~ in all, for saving negro
worth perhaps 500. After all, we still adhere
to our advice to Casey to institute suit for
salvage.
We need hardly add that the Collector, in
assigning Mr.. G. to his position, evinced much
more discrimination than in his first appoint
ments. more efficient officer is not easily
found, though fishing for negroes at the expense
of an officers finger is not exactly in the line Of
his legitimate duty.

I DAMAGES PAID Bf RAILROAD COMPANIES. All

which occurred on the New York and New

place being left open, by which train of pas

ing and drowning some sixty persons. The
accident has already cost the Company, as we
learn, from a statement of the officers, two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, paid to the
relatives of those killed and injured, and fifty
thousand more remains to be paid. We should
think being mulcted in such damages as this
would teach Railroad Companies that more eau

AN IRISH MILITARY MOVEMENT. We COM
mend the following article, which we clip from
the Philadelphia Sun, to the serious oonsidera-
ton of our readers
A few evenings since meeting of the Cap
tains commanding the Irish Catholic companies
in the Twenty first Brigade, was held at Barr's
Hotel, in Sixth street, below Chestnut, and an
other is to be held this evening at a tavern
corner of Master and Cadwalader streets, the
scene of the Irish papist outrages upon Amer
lean freemen ten years ago this very month--in
May, 1874. There are various rumors afoat as
to the object of these secret movements promi-
nent among them is one that the Irish COM
panies in that Brigade are organizing for the
purpose of making it an Irish Brigade, to be
under the command of Irish officers, such organ
izations as have created SO much bad feeling in
New York, and been denounced by the entire
press of that city The following is the list of
the Irish companies: Hibernia Greens, Capt
Vandyke; Irish Volunteers, Capt. Pat. Conroy !;
Meagher Guards, First Company, Capt. Ryan
Second Company, Capt. b. W. Powers; Mont
gomery Guards, Capt j. Harvey; Emmett
| Guards; Richmond Artillery, Capt. Cullen
Manayunk Rifles, Capt r. Conroy; Sarsfeld
Rifles, Capt Laws; Shield Rifles, Capt. J. O,
Byrne; and the United States Rifles. When it
is remembered that these men have in their pos
session upwards of seven hundred muskets and
rifles and that poor Shifiet was shot dead by o
/ lieutenant in enc of these Irish companies, the
| impolicy, danger and insulting wrong of such q
| foreign organization must be obvious. 1t will
lead to difficulty, depend upon it. The Ameri-
can people will not consent to have their lives
and liberties placed in the power of aliens
armed against the spirit of our Constitution and
laws. Can nothing be done to check it,

We learn from the independent Democrat,

of the Independent Democracy of that State,
held at Concord on the Goth ult., was one OF
the best ever assembled in the State, and that
"the Representatives Hall was densely pack

of Liberty were present:

was the presence of many old Democrats, who

that principles are overriding party names, and
leaving party organizations little more than the
