New York, Sept AT Staten Island,
last night, band of 1000 men broke into
the Quarantine ground and set the hos
pital on fire, and also threatened to burn
the residence of DR.. Thompson, the health
officer.
DR.. Thompson called together the steve
dores and armed them with muskets to
protect the buildings The hospital is a
mass of ruins and many shanties were
destroyed.
Capt. Bolton, of the harbor police, came
up to the city at late hour for an addi-
tional police force, as the mob was in such
furious state it was not known what the
next move would be.
NEW York, Sept. s.--The remainder
of the Quarantine buildings were destroyed
by the mob last night, the mob meeting
with no opposition. There was no excite.
ment. A guard of U. s. marines was
present to protect government property
The confagration commenced soon after
the adjournment of meeting held by the
citizens of Richmond county. Among the
buildings burned were six cottages occu-
pied by the boatmen employed on the sta
ton, large mansion occupied by DR.
Waller, the deputy health officer, and five
brick dwellings, tenanted by DR.. Bissell
The furniture had been removed from all
the buildings except the last named. DIR.
B., though warned of the intended burn
ing, refused to move an article and made
no attempt to. stop the flames.
Later-Soon after midnight the Female
Hospital was set on fire and wholly con-
sumed. 1t contained seventy five patients
who were previously removed and placed
on the grass plat between the hospital and
the resident physicians house, the latter
being still on fire, where they remained
through the night, covered with the show
ers of sparks from the burning building
The seventh regiment of our city had been
notified to hold themselves in readiness
for this emergency, but up to the last ad-
vices, had not been called out.

MURDER BY TWO BoYs.-A terrible affair
occurred at Liuleton Station, on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, on Sunday night,
2lst of February. Mrs. Manly, widow
woman, resided there with her two sons and
kept grocery. An improper intimacy be-
tween her and a man in the neighborhood
had been suspected On Sunday the boys
went away to be gone all night, but hap
pened TO return unexpected in the night, and
found this man in bed with their mother
Enraged, they fell upon him and killed him.
The boys both escaped, the one taking the
Eastern train and the other coming West
One of them was only ten and the other fif-
teen years old. The man was stabbed three
times through the heart, and is supposed to
have died almost instantly. The boys had
frequently warned him 10 discontinue his
visits to the house, threatening to kill him if
he did not. ..-.. =

BoREs."-There are a particular set of
"bores" which infest this locality who de-.
serve 10 be hit off through the columns Of IA
Newspaper. 1t is this class of people that
always come in late to meetings, lectures,
etc. This unfortunate class of people make
Il point never, by the nearest accident, to
be cup to time" Invariably, too, they wear
heavy boots, walk as if the place was made
TO be stamped upon, and slam the doors
with a most unmstakeable energy. As a
general thing they continue TO come in, in
the very midst of the most eloquent pas
sages or the most melting symphony, when
they are sure 10 attract ahe attention of the
unsEepce, and divide the honors with the
accredited hero of the exercises. They,
sometimes, consider it a reproach 10 sit
near the door, but must needs steer under
full sail towards the "highest seat in the
synagogue" They are never satisfied mere.
Iy 10 come in, but must herald their advent
by grand flourish of trumpets. This spec
linen of a "bore" is very aggravating one,
and tries peoples patience sadly.
Another class Of chores" are those who
keep up continual coughing and splitting
in churches and lecture halls Besides be-
ing annoying 10 the preacher and congre-
CATION, it certainly shows want of good
breeding.
Not long ago, whilst listening TO very
able discourse lronf one of our most emf
nent divines, our interest was considerably
abated in several Of the finest parts of the
sermon by the actions of a. couple of the
fair sex, who sat opposite to us. They COM
menced TO give few delicate coughs and
cleaning of their throats, which put the
surrounding part Of the congregation on
"nenles" during the whole of the discourse.
We felt much provoked, and wished the
young ladies far enough in "Jericho."
On these points mentioned, all we have
to say is, that no real lady or gentleman
would be guilty of such manifest readiness
and it too generally comes from class OF
which better things are expected.
The different, classes of "bores" TO whom
the above article has reference will please
make note.

Destructive FlRr AT HAsRIsBURe.--O

DEsTRUcrIvE FiRE AT HARRIsBURG.-On
last Tuesday night about 10 O'Clock, des.
iructive and fearful fire broke out in Harris
burg, doing much damage, and causing a
great deal of excitement. The fire origina-
ted in stable belonging TO Mc'Gowen's Ho-
tel; and spread with such rapidity, that the
flames could moi be checked, and the adj
joining buildings were all enveloped before
the 6remen could bring their streams to bear
upon them The fire kept on spreading I'M
Ill it reached the Presbyterian Charch, which
was entirely consumed. A thrilling and
grand sight was presented in the burning of
the church, but appalling 10 many heart
who witnessed it, 1t is impossible TO ascer-
tain the loss, as great deal Of property was
destroyed.
In the midst of The busy scene, and in
constant danger of the buildings, lay the
corpse Of a child-the sadness of whose
household presents a sombre contrast 10 the
scene without. Several persons during the
fire were injured.

II Quite an exciting scene occurred at
Philadelphia on Thursday. A FIRE took place
in Eighth Street, and after it had made con-
siderable headway, it was ascertained that
an old woman and young girl were in the
fifth story of the building. The excitement
became great and the scene was thrilling.
it was not exactly known in what part of the
orythey were, and there were no ladders
present. AT length two police officers brave
ly determined to rush in through the fire
and rescue them, if possible. They were
warned that they would be sufocated, but
regardless of all, they tied handkerchiefs
around their mouths, dashed through the
flames, and succeeded in finding the woman
und child whom they lifted in their arms and
retraced their way into the streets amid the
cheers Of the crowd.

Why COUSINS SHOULD NOT MARRy-In the
annual report of the Superintendent of the
Kentucky Institution for the Deaf and Dumb,
we find the following conclusive argument
against the marriage of cousins.
"From ten 10 twelve per cent. of deaf
mutes are the children of cousins. 1t is
greately to be regretted that tie law forbid
ding the marriage of first cousins did not
pass the recent Legislature. These mar
riages are a violation of law of nature, as
is evidenced by the Affections visited in al
most every case upon their offspring in deaf
ness, blindness and idiocy and ought TO be
violation of human laws also. The Com.
monwealth has the clear right 10 protect it.
self against these ill-starred matches, whose
offspring it has TO sustain, too frequently for
life. 1t may be hoped that this importent
subject will not escape the action of our leg.
islaiors many years longer 1t is confidently
believed that by forbidding marriages of
this kind and by any proper attention and
care of infants laboring under the disease
started the number of deaf mu,es in the
community might be diminished one half in
a generation.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD ABRANGEMKNTs.- We
hear of new Railroad connection of much
interest 10 travellers, and calculated 10 facil-
itate the transmission of the mails. The
Superintendents of the Wiliamsport and
Eimira, eatawissa, WiAamsporr ana Erie,
Sunbury and Erie, and Northern Central
Railroads, met in the first named town on
Tuesday, 10th inst, for the purpose of COM
pleting arrangements for through connec-
ton of these important routes. Ii is expect
ed that by the first of June railway will be
ready for travel between Sunbury and Har-
risburg. The mails from the South for the
West can then be taken up at Harrisburg
and conveyed over the connected roads 10
Elmira, whence they may be despatched
ever the New York and Erie railroad. AT
present the mails for the West are taken TO
New York, and thence sent over the Erie
road. The gain of time by the new arrange
ment will be upwards of ten hours. 1t is
supposed that many travellers will prefer this
route, as it leads through some of the most
magnificent scenery to be found in the Uni
ted States.
