lives Of a man named Rogers, his wife, and four
out offve children. The Pittsburg Journal saws !:
This Rogers and wife had, II seems from the
evidence Of the neighbors, for sometime given
Themselves up to hard drinking, and though he
owned the property on which he lived, vet so
worthless had he become that the family had
been support by the neighbors out of charity
He and his wife frequently had Quarrels, sud so
common had their qndrrels and noises become to
the neighboSt that but little attention was paid to
them. screams were heard by the neig b bors in
the house before the fire was discovered by them
Dnt supposing hat they Were, as usual, OCCASION
ed by drunken fight, and as they were known
TO have been drunk all day nothing was thong ht
OF IL Till the tiames were seen. But il was too
late; the drunken husband and wife, father and
mother, were consumed in the first story, while
the cries OF poor innocent children, the innocent
victims Of the internal vice Of their parents went
up in hopeless agony from the second story
where the merciless flames had encircled them
with their fiery and fatal wreaths before human
aid had reached them The only one saved was
boy who got out on the porch. The house was
dry and burned like a flash. All that human
aid could do was done, but II came too late
The two cities and neighbOrhood are thrilled
with horror at this occurrence
Rogers was carpenter by trade, and the cid.
est child that persisted was not over ten wears Of
age. The one which made its escape was eleven

in the Tampa, and II for lands in the Talla.

under the swamp act of September 18th, 1850.
They comprise an aggregate of ALB, ISL. "a acres.
There has already been issued to Florida,

acres of swamp and overflowed lands; and there
yet remains in the State upwards of II 1000, 900
the provisions Of the act.
THK FRENCH SPOLIArION BILL.-Most Of the
parties interested in the passage of this bill
seem to despair of its being passed by the House
this session. Most of them have already placed
it in the category of unfinished business, to be
referred to next Congress.
PENSION WARRANTS IssrED.-During Jan
uary last there were issued by the Pension Of
fee, warrants for bounty land, under the act
of 1855, as follows: 500 for leo acres 81 for

II The annual report of the Nova Scotia Tel
eSraPh Company has been published and dis
tributed In New York city, from which it appears
that there were 10000 messages passed through
the Halifax office to and from the other Offices
IN the Provinces last year. 1t also appears that
the annual receipts of the company, less the
amount paid the connecting lines, were SD, 900
and that the repairing and working of the lines
cost trife over ST., 900. The other expenses
have absorbed the whole of the receipt and the
director says: at appears that when the country
offices are taken collectively, the total expenses
of maintaining and working them exceeds the
Income by about 800, so that the profits of the
company are derived exclusively feom the Hall
fax office" The directors also state that "with
all their endeavors and constant and wearisome
attention. the expenses Of the lines continue to
absorb all their receipts, and yet these are the
lines which certain spectators in Boston and
New York have been trying to induce the mer-
camille community to purchase at the round SUN

PURE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS letter wri-
tiers are now engaged in persistent efforts to pre-
Judge in the public mind the results of the
bogus investigation now in progress before the
special House committee raised on motion OF
Mr. Sherman, Of Ohio. We style it bogus, be.
cause without the slightest confidence in the in
teRrity of Mr.. Sherman's movement, intended.
Tor the most part, as that was, simply to afford
opposition letter writers opportunities to scatter
broadcast, for political effect, unfounded ac
counts of alleged testimony duplicating en-
ployees of the Navy Department in improper
transactions. So far, not a scintilla of testi.
mony has been ELECTED tending to the substan-
tiation OF the truth of the charges of Mr.. Sher-
man; nor is there the slightest prospect that
any such exists. Our belief is that they are
so utterly without foundation as that Mr.. Sher
man is by this time unwilling to have the sub
Ject again alluded to in any way in the House..
contenting himself with what he may be able
to gain for his party by encouraging letter.
writers to garble and pervert, through the press,
portions OF the evidence here and there. The
game is an old one, and is perfectly understood
here as the Charley Ogle gold spoon dodge

FROM NICARAGUA.-The latest intellieence
from the Isthmus is, it is stated, favorable to
the opinion that the Cass-Irissari treaty will
De ratified by the Nicaragua government. The
assembly had not convened, although the time
for the commencement of its session had passed.
The delay is attributable to the fact that tho
treaty concluded with England, through Sir
WIN. Gore Ousely, had not been received in
Nicaragua, and as the government was anxi-
Gus that it should be submitted to the Assembly
Tor ratification, before that body was embar-
raised by other business it had ordered post
ponement Of the session. The representation.
concerning Gen. Lsmar's conduct are of a
nature calculated to lead to that gcntleman's
.ecali II they prove to be we'll founded, as this
government is fully aware of the necessity of
having an agent in that part of the world who
is not obnoxious to any thing calculated 70 i'm.
