STABBING AFFRAY IN BoSToN-A serious
alteration occurred Saturday noon,s at the
office of the Middlesex Mills, in Pearl street,
Boston, between DIR. j. c. Aver, of Lowell, a
stakeholder, and r. S. Fay, Jr., treasurer of
the corporation. During the ARRAY, Mr.. Fay
struck DR.. Aver several blows upon the head,
and in return the Doctor stabbed Mr. Fay with
a pen-knife in the abdomen. Dr. Bigelow,
who was called, declined to give an opinion as
to the nature of the wounds, except upon
legal investigation. 1t appears that DIR. Aver
had become dissatisfied with the management
of the concern, and often called to investigate
the books. He called on Saturday, as usual,
when Mr.. Fay gave him the wrong book
Some provoking and offensive language follow
ed upon both sides, when Mr.. Fay seized the
Doctor by the hair of his head and commenced
striking. TWAS some moments after they had
been separated, that Fay discovered he had
been stabbed. The wound sgase : ~.

between two men SO prominent in the business
world excited a profound sensation, and many
absurd and extravagant reports were imme
diately put into circulation.

A New HIGH SCHOOL IN SoUTHBoRo'.-
The old Congregational Church in Southboro'
was some time since purchased by H. H.
Peters, Esq, who fitted it up in fine style for

condition that it should always be occupied for
High School. Friday afternoon the dedica-

cupying the chair. After the formal delivery

interesting addresses were made by George :
Boutwell,, secretary of the Board Of Education.

The generosity of Mr.. Peters was held up as
an example worthy to be followed by other
wealthy men, in advancing the cause of public
education.-BoSton transcript.

The OLD FRANKLIN PRINTING Press has
been sold by the proprietors Of the Newport
Mercury to John b. Murray, of New York,
who is also owner of the printing press on
which Ben Franklin worked in London. Mr..
Murray designs to place them both in the Pat
ent Office at Washington. The Newport press
is the one on which Franklin printed the NEW
England CouIant," in Boston, in 1920 when
he was but IA years old. 1t was subsequently
taken to Newport by James Franklin, a brother
of Benjamin, who used it in printing the New
port Mercury, which still survives at the good
old age Of one hundred and one years This
old press is known as the "Ramage press"

HYANNIs KIDNAPPING CAsE.-The Boston
correspondent of the New York Tribune says:
"The Hyannis kidnapping case has been post
poned till Nov. Is, when it will be tried at
Barnstable. Indictments have been found
against Crowell AMI Orlando, the captain and
mate of the vessel in which the fugitive Jones
escaped, and against John w. Baker, Boston
merchant, who is the principal owner Bacon,
the captain of the vessel which carried. Jones
back to Pensacola, has turned States evil
dence." He was bribed in the sum of $500 to
carry Jones back, and his evidence as to the
bargain will probably dispose of the objection
which the defence greatly rely upon, that the
crime was not committed within the jurisdiction
OF the Commonwealth. Poor Bacon has Jared
very hardly BY going out of his way to serve
the doughfdce owners of the vessel in which
Jones escaped, he forfeited his freight money,
and has lost the expected profits of the voyage ;
and understand he has not yet received a dol
lar of the bride by which he was bought into
savery's service. Mr.. John w. Baker will do
wise thing if he sends an agent with fifteen
hundred dollars to Pensacola, and purchases
Jones before the trial comes on"

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ATTLEBoRo'-E
Saturday morning, destructive fire broke out
n Attleboro', by which Bailey's carriage man.
utactory, and Blackington's hoop skirt factory
both extensive wooden buildings, situated near
the railway station. were entirely DESTROYED
together with several smaller buildings in the
immediate vicinity. The jewelry store of
Thompson, Richardson, & Co.. was also burn
ed. Most of the vehicles in the carriage fac
tory were saved, but the loss to all parties is
heavy. large shed, containing the watering
apparatus and quantity of wood for the rail
road, was also destroyed, and the depot, which
caught lire several times, was saved with great
exertions. The fire is very serious one, for
that thriving village-known all over the coun-
try for its extensive Jewelry manufacture-and
large number of operatives are thrown out
of employment. The fire is attributed to an
incendiary, and it is thought the loss will
reach 100000 or S125,000 but partially COW
cred by insurance.
The American Manufacturing Co. (of jewel
ry) had some of their works in the lower part
of the skirt factory building, and they also
owned the building, upon which they have in
surance as follows $3.50 in each of the City,
Shoe and Leather Dealers, and Eliot Offices
Boston; and $3.50 in the Dorchester Mutual
VIM. Blackington, agent, occupied the third
story for the finishing of hoop skirts merely,
the article being principally manufactured
elsewhere. He is insured for $500 in the
Traders Mutual Office, of this city. The
other occupants have assurances of $4,000 in
the American Office, Providence; $25O0 in the
Prescott, Boston; $500 in the Holyoke, Sa.
lem; and $500 in the Dorchester stock Office
In Bailey's carriage factory there is insurance
for $500 each in the Eliot and City offices,
and S2500 in the Prescott office of Boston.
The OcCuDantS in addition to tbOca ohovo
named, were Everett Dean & Co., Hayward
Briggs, Sturdy Brothers, and A. Thompson
all jewelry manufacturers; G. Wheelock,
thread manufacturer, and c. Luther, lapidary
The number of operatives thrown out of en-
ploy is about 400. There is no fire engine in
the town, and about year ago a large fire oc.

FALSE ALARM.-Just as the afternoon SER

fire was given, which proved, however, to be
groundless. The depot bell was struck two or
three times announcing the arrival of the
steamboat train, which some easiy-alarmed
persons mistook for the signal of fire, and i'm
mediately caused some of the church bells to
be rung, and one or two puzzled engine COM

one of them by the collar and attempted
to pull him from the wagon, but they whipped
up their horse and again escaped Mr.. Fetch

them short distance beyond the bridge,
on the road to Douglas. One of the rogues
then jumped from their wagon and made his

road upon both sides. The other turned off
upon cross road and down into the yard of
Mr., John S. Taft, when being pursued by Mr.

round the house succeeded in effecting his es-

valuable animal. The wagon contained, in
addition to the stolen property, a keg of rum
and pail of pork.
