This morning, some Of the police officers of
sthe Eighth ward became aware Of the exist
.ence Of a Ere in the vicinity Of Thirteenth

%. From a valuable statistical table published
in the New York Herald We derive The follow-
interesting in information. First, as 10 frrs: The
amount OF property consumed by fires during
sthe past year, estimating only those where the
damage were was more than $4,000 IN each
instance, amounts iu the aggregate TO 29,51O,
1000. The Herald expresses belief that, adding
thereto the fires Of which no record was kept,
and where The loss OF property was under
$4,000, The total aggregate would amount 10
$50, 0O0, 900. The number Of murders in the
United States curing the year 1874 was 6S2;
executions, "a; 587 persons were killed by
steamboat accidents; and 225 wounded; being
n considerable increase over the preceding
year; 10 persons died in the United States du,
ring the past year each of whom had attained

Minister to spaia.

We wete taken by surprise yesterday by the
,telegraptic announcement that Mr.. SoULE had
resigned the position of Minister to Spain, and
that NIL. 9. Rrsckenbridge, Of Kentucky,
had been appointed his successor. The des-
ima:ion Of the latter is an appointment emf
,nently.f ct to bemode. lMr. Breckenbridge is a
young man possessing abilities of a high order
and will represent the countrymost creditably
at the Court Of Madrid. He is at prese mt a
distinguished nd; leading member inthe House
of Representatives, having been twice elected
(, to that position from a Wing district by a
handsome majority. In his political princi-
pies he is one Of the most orthodox of Demo-

Jzdss HsCabs Of Michigan, Severely Stabbed.

From the San Francisco Herald, December 81.
Jzdss H,Cabs Of Miehigan, Severely Stabbed.
Yesterday morning, about eleven O'Clock, an
elderly gentlemsn named James McCabe, for
meriy Probate Judge 10 the Slate OF Michigan,
and for several years q membeT Of Abe Senate
ofthat State, was passing along Clay street,
when he met q lady named Aiken, with whom
he became acquainted during the passage from
New York TO this city, where he arrived about
three weeks since. The lady in a cordial man.
nst, invited him 10 call and see her at the
What Cheer House. He assented, and they
separated. About two O'Clock he went 10 the
What Cheer House, and was shown the room
occupied by Mrs. Aiken. He knocked at the
door, in a moment it opened and The husband
of the lady in question, struck at the vlslter
with a large bowie knife,
Judge McCabe raised his arm 10 catch the
blow,and received a severe cut on the shoulder
and arm. He ran down Stairs, followed by his
assailant, and running across the street in the
direction OF the Times and Transcript office,
was stabbed in the back just as he reached
the cuTbstone, McCabe cried "murder," at
the, top of his voice while running across the
street; and after receiving the second cut,
: rushed into the bookstore Of Mr.. Schle;Jen,
pursued by Aiken and the crowd. He fell on
the floor faintins from loss OF blood. Several
persons secured Aiken. who exclaimed, "Now
have done it. Hang me on the nearest
tfee,' He was taken to the station house and
locked up, In the meantime McCabe was re-
moved in a carriage 10 the Mantle Hotel,
where his wounds were quickly dressed by a
physician.
They were found TO be very severe, although
not dangerous, he will doubtless recover in a
short time. 1t is said that there j. an evident
mistake Of Judge McCabe for another person
who was on the steamer, 1.-THE CorteS) who
made unmanly proposals to Mrs. Aiken after
her arrival at this port, which she indighatly
rejected, Aiken is a resident of MarySville
and has only been in the CITY a few days.
Judge McCabe is about forty years OF age, and
has the reputation Of a quiet and unobtrusive
man. He resided in Portland, Oregon, during
the past four years. In August last,he visited
the Atlantic States, and returned in the Cor.
ties about three weeks since,

u'A Fact worth remembering. In this age
Of empiriciSm when "cure.alls" abound, .
medicine which has stood the test ofscientifc
investigation, and received the unqualified
approval Of the medical faculty, is certainly a
rarity. Such a medicine is Stabler's a%nodyle
cherry expectorant, which has been recon-
meRded by numbers of the best and most ex.
peTienced physicians used by them in their
practice, with the hapRest results, and invar-
lably gives relief in toughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
and diseases of the lungs and throat generally.
1t will be well for all to bear this in mind,
during the excitement season now approaching,
as by so doing they may be the means of pre-
venting much suffering to themselves or friends.
