The LATE CHARLES F. HovEY.-We have
before alluded to the death of this estimable
man. Years ago he was resident of Barre,
and there are friends still living there who re-
member his frank and generous nature, and
the fearless independence with which he es-
poused every humane and reformatory cause
At his funeral remarks were made by William
Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, friends
with whom he had sympathized and labored
during his whole life. In tribute of esteem
and affection, Mr.. Phillips made the following
beautiful allusion to his character:
Gas truly as can be said of any man, he
really thought for himself And this did not
seem remarkable virtue in him. 1t required
no effort. Neither gain nor favor seemed to
have any charm for him. A high nature lifted
him above such temptations. And yet he was
not harsh, reserved, nor ungenial, but wholly
the reverse. He kept his soul young-youne
IN its earnestness, its zeal, its childlike faith
and winning simplicity Men could bear the
most hated opinions from those genial lips
He walked up and down our streets, utter
ing all heresies in Church and State vet
none could hate him-few could get away
from the influence of that open, clear, and
real life that lay behind his speech. He not
only believed that every man was his brother,
but he made every man feel brotherly to him,
and close as a friend. The poor nestled to
him. He not only believed the universe was
sunny, he brought sunshine with him when he
came. Let us thank God for his life. The
world is better for his having lived These
loved ones mourn the father whose voice was
benediction; but how many beside these are
now crowding round him who felt that kind
hand lifting them, that cheerful voice welcom-
ing them on, that untiring care watching for
them with all a fathers interest and vigi-
lance

FIRES IN PRovIDENcE.-During the fifteen
hours closing at noon, Friday, a remarkable
succession of fires occurred in Providence, the
last of which proved destructive to a large
amount of property. Thirty bales of domes-
tic goods were destroyed early in the morning
at the Worcester freight depot. The Press
says that the fremen had no sooner got to
their homes than the cotton waste in AL
my's brick block opposite the Depot began to
show signs of spontaneous combustion, and
before the firemen could get at it, the confined
air in the upper stories had become rarified to
such an extent that an explosion occurred
blowing off a portion of the roof, and scatter
ing the fire among the waste stored in every
part of the building. The waste, was owned
by Benjamin F. Almy, who loses about s5OOO
on which there is no insurance. The build
ing is insured for $4,000, which will cover the
loss.

convicted of forgery in Philadelphia, is to pay
a fine of $1,000, make restitution to the gov
eminent to the amount of 100000, and be i'm

of this city, effected the arrest, Thursday
evening, in Providence, of John Mowry,
who hired horse and carriage of Kendrick

The LATEST GAME OF SKILL.-The fol-
lowing report of match of the truly scientific
game of Fox and Geese, lately played between
a couple of Georgia clubs, was transmitted by
sub-river telegraph, each dispatch covering
one move. The game occupied twelve days
A committee of five from each club directed
the moves and no one was admitted to either
of the club rooms except the committeeman,
the reporters, and the boys who brought the
whiskey and onions, which formed the sole
nourlshment during the continuance of the
match. The following is the full report of the
game, with some fair and judicious comments
thereon

never were probably half that number of Irish
voters, all told. At any rate, that district
had previously been represented in Con-
gress by an administration Democrat, Mr..
Bishop. At the last election the Republicans
carried it by very handsome majority. If
it could be shown that 700 newly-made Irish
voters took part in that election, the inference
would be that they voted the Republican
ticket.
THEIR NAMEs.-The Traveller gives the

Loring, aspiring to the Collectorship of the
port of Salem, but willing to take the Post
Office VIM. B. Pike, Geo. W. Mullet. Null
let discloses that the petition upon which DR..
Geo. B. Loring received the appointment of
Postmaster was forgery, that most of the
names were attached by the Doctor and Mr..
Pike, and that some of the persons to whom
they belonged had been dead for ten years.
The accused parties deny the impeachment,
and say that the petition, which is a manifest
forgery, was executed by Mullet. Mr. Wig
gin, of Maine, is investigating the matter. He
does'nt believe in the Doctors motto-Eritus
Gcta probat.

ARRANGEMENT FOR ADULTERY.-Adin B.
Mann, formerly of this city, and lately of Hop
kinton, was arrested in Providence Wednes-
day, on the charge of adultery with Mrs. Maria
Kane Of this city. Mrs. Kane died in the lat
ter city, Tuesday, in an attempt to procure
abortion. Mann was brought to this city, and
arraigned before the Police Court, yesterday,
where his adulterous intercourse with the de-
ceased at different times and places in this city
was sworn to by various witnesses. He says
nothing of the cause of her death, and it does
not appear that he was implicated in it. The
evidence against him was deemed sufficient,
and he was bound over for trial in June
Mann has wife and four children living, two
of whom are at the Orphans Home, and the
other two, with their mother, in the Poor
House at Blackstone. Soon after marriage, it
appears he destroyed the certificate of marriage
before the eyes of his wife, and now refuses
to recognize her in that relation. He has not
of late provided for her support, and has him
self been before the courts for violation of law.
Mrs. Kane was widow with two young child
rem, who are left in the care of her friends.

SAD CAd.AMITY.--The Ceredo Crescent of
the Sd ult. gives the particulars of the drown
ing of Paul Sawyer, formerly of Templeton,
in this county. On Monday previous he start
ed out on horseback, and having occasion to
cross deep creek, it is supposed that he was
instantly thrown off into the water by the sud-
den plunge of the horse down the declivity,
and that he was struck and stunned by the
horse in his struggles. His lifeless body was
found an hour afterward, in the bed of the
stream Young Sawyer was nineteen years
of age, and went to Ceredo in June, 1858, from
Templeton, where his friends still live. He
was young man of estimable character, and
his death-the first which has occurred in the
new communicated an impression of deep
and profound sorrow. At a subsequent meet
ing OF the Ceredo Mechanics Library Associ-
alton, Of which the deceased was a member,
resolutions of respect and sympathy were read
by Mr.. c. b. Webb, formerly of this city, and
adopted.

THE Mission CHILDREN AT THE CITY
HALL.-The exhibition of the children of the
Mission Industrial School came off, last even
ing, according to promise. Their earnest and
successful teacher, Rev. Mr.. Souther, prefaced
the exercises with appropriate remarks, stat
ing that the school numbered about $50 mem
bers, and that towards $50 were regular attend
ants at the school. He read a brief note from
Mayor Bullock, who expressed his regret that
engagements made his absence imperative, and
enclosed with characteristic liberality, a check
for $25 for the benefit of the school. Mr.
Louis Lewiston contributed ten dollars.
Many benevolent gentlemen purchased tickets
for which they had no other use than to re-
mind them that they were encouraging wor-
thy cause. The receipts altogether must have
been satisfactory, though the attendance was
not large. The exercises consisted of sing
ing, recitations, dialogues, &c. which were
conducted with much spirit by the little COM
munity of children.

VALUABLE TESTIMONIAL The friends of
Rev. j. ID. E. Jones, whose connection with his
society is soon to be dissolved, interrupted him
yesterday, while engaged in duties incident to
his new office of Superintendent of schools,
and presented to him many articles of intrin-
sic value, and inestimable as testimonials of
the affectionate regard which his society cher
lshes for him. Among so many liberal donors
it may not be proper to distinguish any.
venture, however, to name the Hon. Isaac
Davis, who presented a valuable and elegant
set of silver plate, consisting of five pieces.
Others contributed China set and various ar
ticles of use and ornament for the table and
the household. Some money was also given,
and many expressions of good will attested the
sincerity of the givers. 1t is but simple jus
tice to say that Mr.. Jones's connection with
his society has been signalized by uninterrupt-
ed good feeling, and that it would be the unan-
imous desire of its members to continue it, if
his services were not called for in different
though equally useful field.
