The Quarantine MOb-Tbe Remaining
BuiIdiugs Burned-The 18th Regiment
Called Upon.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The remainder of the
quarantine buildings at Staten Island were
burnt last night. The conhagration com
menced soon after the adjournment of a meet
ing of the citizens OF Richmond county.
Among the buildings burned we're the six
cottages occupied by the boatmen of the sta
ton, the large mansion occupied by DR.. Wal
Ter, deputy health officer, ard the fine brick
dwelling house of DR.. Bssel. The furniture
had been removed from the buildings, except
ing the last named. DR.. B though warned
OF the intended burning, refused to move an
article. The mob, 1t is stated, was led by
Ray Tompkins, Chief Engineer of the Staten
Island Fire Department, who appeared in his
freman's uniform.
A detachment of United States mariners
were present, but only to guard the govern
ment property.
No attempt was made by any one to stop
the flames.
Second DisPatch.-Soon after midnight the
female hospital was set ire to and wholly
consumed. 1t contained seventy-fve 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 during the
night, covered with showers of sparks from
the burning buildings
The fire department was present, hut did
nothing to stop the confagration.
The seventh regiment of our city had been
notified to hold themselves in redness tor
this emergency, but up to the last advices had
not been called out
Our marine reporter ssys that the United
States revenue office was among the property
destroyed at quarantine.
Three OF the sick have died from the heat
and exposure, and are yet lying under the
trees where they died.

RELIEF OF THE PooR.-The ladies of the City
Mission Sewing Circle propose to furnish refresh. 4.
ment during the FiIemen's Muster, the proceeds
to be applied to the relief Of the poor the coming
Winter The same effort, last year, realized
near two hundred and fifty dollars, which fed one
hundred and ffty-four hungry persons at the
Chapel, aided forty-two families, (many Of them
repeatedly with groceries, supplied wood to six
other families, and cheered eleven others in their
sickness with needed suceor. besides distributing
eighty pairs OF boots and shoes 10 those who,
without this aid would not have been able to at.
tend church or Sabbath school. all under the di.
rection Of our worthy missionary.
The prospect is that still greater want must be
met the coming Winter and the appeal is made
to the benevolent for aid in furnishing the cola
ton, by sending to the yestry Of the Union
Church, on Tuesday and Wednesday next, such
provisions as may be most convenient.
II is thought that this simple announcement
will meet with generous response, even by those
who are not personally solicited.
Per order Of the Committee Of Arrangements.

SAD CASE OF DROWNING. "Wednesday alter
noon, says the Clinton COuyant, several children
residing al the Locke Place." in Lancaster,
went into the Nashua for the purpose of bathing
when one of them, named Calvin Henry, son of
Asel B. Abbott, of New York city, lad of thir.
teen years, vcntured out too far, went beyond his
depth. and before he rescued life had be-
come extinct. Medical assistance was immedi-
ately called, but proved unavailing. This sad
event occurred to the family at the close of a
Summers vacation when, after preparing to re-
turn, the children went down to their accustomed
place to battle for the " last time"

Coon SIeN.-A day or two since, we saw
from the window of our Office an unmistaka-
bly, good sign. It was not in the heavens, nor
upon the earth, but directly in front of the we'll
known and popular restaurant Of Messrs. TAFT
& LILLEY.
Though not inclined to be superstitious, we do
believe in signs-such as this one-and think
that the gentlemanly proprietOrs have adopted a
most happy expedient in its erection, to inform
the public just the precise location Of the "Fair
Play Eating House." and by whom it is conduct
ed. closer inspection Of the sign, showed that
it was good one, in other particulars suggest
ing, as it did to the beholder, the plenty, neat
ness, and good taste, that characterize the es
tablishment; for, there. drawn with the hand
Of master, and painted in the most artistic
style, were depicted in the life-like colors of
natures own handiwork, the most rich and varied
products Of earth and sea, which were made for
the use Of man. Such strings Of trout, such
tempting joints Of beef, such punches OF wood
cock and pigeons, such braces of partrdges, such
nicely marbled ham, such fat pairs Of ducks, such
juicy-looking grapes, such we'll ripened melons,
such golden-hued oranges, such superb pine sp-
Piles, such nicely frosted cakes such fresh looking
pastry, such delicious strawberries, and such 9TH
er good things, too numerous to mention, as
give to the behOlder at glance perfect idea Of
he good things always to be found inside, in
their season, aud suggest to the hungry man and
hungry woman, or candy-loying child, that there
is the place to enjoy the good things Of life,
cooked or prepared in the best manner, and setv.
ed up in the most perfect order; and where tho
appetite may be gralifed to an extent proper.
tionate to the length Of the purse, from a plate
Of beans to such dinner as would meet the
views of a New York alderman.
We were glad to see such sign. for other rea.
sons than that we knew il was sign Of the pros.
perity Of our neighbors, over the way. It is the
work, we are told, OF Worcester artist-Mr. T..
M. WOODWARD, and affords to all who behold IT,,
sign Of his proficiency in his difficult and labor
ious art, Of which be may well be proud. The
skill aud taste displayed in the drawing group.

finished piece Of work, are such as cannot fail to
attract the notice Of any generation seeking AZ.

encourage native talent by employing Worcester
artizans, who, In all departments Of mechanical
industry, as everybody knows, are "hard to beat"

A NARROW EscAPB.-We learn from the Clin
tan CouTant that on Thursday evening, as J. S
Buttrick, Esq, of Sterling, had just returned
from ride with his family, with spirited pair Of
horses they became startled by the striking of the
door against the Wheel and a chaise stood in
the way of Mr.. BIS catching hold of them, they
dashed away most furiously, and ran about two
miles and half, over rough road, leaving Mrs.
B., who had an infant and daughter about ten
years of age in the carriage, when the little
girl crept the front seat, took the reins, and
brought the horses safely into the yard of farm
house, All the damage done was the breaking Of
the glass of the carriage.
