Burning of the City Hall.
.sfl ras e. New YoRK. Aup. 1eN

The festivities last night commenced
at an early hour and lasted until IL
o'clock. Broadway was blaze of light
from the Battery to Union Park. Bonfres
blazed along the river on both sides, and
also on the slips at Hoboken, Jersey City,
Williamsburgh and Brooklyn. The
streets were crowded with people, and
mass estimated at lOo,O were gathered
to witness the works and other displays.
A salute of 100 guns was fired from the
roof of the Astor House. There was al
SO a grand celebration at Hoboken, with
salutes, fireworks, DC. Everything pass
ed off quietly and without disaster, save
the burning, after the festivities, of the
City Hall. @ua ~eb4a
About ten minutes past II o'clock
fire broke out at the base of the cupola
and lookout on the City Hall. The
flames were at first supposed to be some
fireworks let off by the residents of the
Hall. From some cause the flames were
not observed, nor an alarm given by the
watchman until ten or twenty minutes
afterward, when the whole roof was in
flames. 1t was not till the cupola had
fallen in, and the third story, which was
used as storage rooms, were entirely de-
stroyed, before the flames were subdued.
The second story was also much dam
aged by fire and water. All the princi-
pal contents of the Governors room we're
saved. The first floor was damaged by
water but not by fire.
All the documents were saved. Wings
uninjured. except by water and violence.
Gen. VIM. Walker and Maj. Humph-
rcy have been in this city for day or
two.
Valentine Gager. a young German
dressmaker, was shot dead last night in
this city, by her lover, Philip Mongen-
hirl. The latter proceeded Immediately
to his boarding house, where he shot
himself fatally. Jealousy Vas the cause.
The Brooklyn Commons Council last
night resolved to give a public reception
to Mr.. Field and Capt. Hudson, for which
purpose an appropriation was made and
a committee appointed. Mr.. Field came
up to the city this morning on tug. The
frigate Niagara arrived at the light ship
this morning. and will come up to the
city at high tide.

HOW TWO HOUSEHOLDS BECAME ONE.


Mrs. Benoni Benson was fat. fair, and
forty four, when her husband, a soap-boil-
er in very good circumstances, was cal
led from his life-task of contributing to
the general publication of mankind
Mrs. Benson took refuge from her grief
in pretty cottage, situated an the prin-
eipal street in the town of G..
AT first she was inconsolable and she
used to say, with sermon emphasis,
which carried conviction to the hearts of
her hearers. that noting but the tho'ts
of her daughter Florence would have
prevented her from terminating her ex-
istence by the Intervention ofpoison.
: Mrs. Benson was, in no small degree,
indebted to her daughter-since in less
than three mouths she threw aside her
mourning, and became as lively as ever.
Touching Florence, she had now
reached the mature age of nineteen, and
began to think herself marriageable.-
She was quite pretty, and tolerably we'll
accomplished so that her wishes in that
respect were very likely to be fulfilled
Just over the way lived Squire Mark
ham, the village lawyer, just verging
upon fifty, with his son Charles, who
was about half his age. Being young
man of agreeable exterior, the latter was
quite fayorile with the young ladies in
the neighborhood, and considered in
common parlance quite "catch."

riously entangled. and might have re-

Benson, riding by on horseback.
s.. II struck him at once that she was re-
markably graceful, really quite pretty.
Thereupon he cultivated her accquain-
lance with increased assiduity. and after
while asked the fatal question
Florence answered in the affirmative,
and. instead of referring him dutiiully to
her mother, hintcd (being a romantic

wiser.
IA Charles Markham caught at this hint,
which chimed with his own temperament,
and he resolved to adopt it.
In order that it might be carried out
with perfect success, it was resolved TO
seem indifferent to each other until the
day fixed, in order to ward of any sus-
picion which might otherwise be aroused.
So we'll were these arrangements car
ried out. that Mrs. Benson had no suspi-
cion of what was going on.
Not so with Squire Markham. He had
obtained clue to the affair III some man
ner, SO that he not only discovered the
fact Of the elopemen., but even the very
day. on which IL was going to occur.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.

w- We give below, from our ex-
changes, some evidence of the progress
making by the two aspirants for the
Congressional honors of this district
The Cedar Rapids Times. after giving a
fair notice of the speeches, concludes as
follows:
In Mr. Vandever's speech we were
happily disappointed. His propositions
were fairly laid down, and his arguments
were logical, convincing, earnest, and
pointed. Not only Republicans, but
many Democrats also, were fully con-
vinced that Mr.. Vandever will lose no
votes in canvassing the District with Mr..
Leflingwell That he bore off the palm
on this occasion, we have not heard dis
puted by any one. Since Mr.. VS. nom
ination, we have never entertained a
doubt of his election, and much less now.
Linn county will roll up more than her
usual majority for him.
On Friday last, Mr.. Leffingwell and
Mr.. Vandever made their appearance
according to the bills, at the Court
House in this place. The day was ex-
ceedingly warm, yet quite a large audi
tory was present, including many far
mersr from the country. 1t being Mr..
Vandcver's turn to open the discussion,
he took the stand and spoke for an hour,
according TO the arrangement between
them We do not design to give even
an outline of his speech. His arrange
ment of the real question at issues was
exceedingly able, and was discussed in
a calm, dispassionate manner. He was
listened TO throughout by both parties
with marked attention. His exposition
of Democratic dishonesty in claiming
that the people of the Territories were
left perfectly free to regulate their do
meslic institutions, in their own way
was plain, and carried conviction to every
mind Of the correctness Of Republican
principles. Mr.. Lefiingwell followed ii
what might be styled a very la5orea eff
fort, for we never saw man labor 81

success. He drew examples from Ire

The candidates Oft the Second Congress

good audience were in attendance. The
pelting of speech lasted for three long
hours. And now the smoke of the con-
test having cleared up, candor. and a
decent respect for the opinions of our
fellow men, compel US to say, that the
boasted Democratic Gun was most ef-
fectually spiked. He was driven to the
wall, and impaled with whole quiyer of
facts and arguments, and there left, TO
the dismay and deep chagrin of those
who had Dragged ON a far more telling
issue. The disappointment was patent
Lefingwell is not the man an interested
press, and few over heated partizans
try to make him. We speak of him in
his capacity of thinker, reasoner, and
speaker. To those who take sound for
substance, words for ideas, he may come
up to the measure of their expectation.
But for manly argument. solid discus
sion, clear and logical statement, he dis
appointed political friends as well as po-
llllcal enemies. The attempt on the part
of the Express & Herald, of Dubuque,
and other subsidized papers, to forestall
the popular jugmcnt, by the most fulsome

with their sensless tla!tery, is most like

was among the Democrats, who were
anxious to hear the end of Leffingwell's S
