FIRE IN NoRTHBoRo' Between nine and
ten o'clock Saturday evening fire broke out
in Mr.. Stephen w. Norcross's barn, which was
burned to the ground, with twelve cows, forty
or fifty tons of hay fifty bushels of corn, farm
ing tools, couple of hogs, &C., making loss
of some fifteen hundred dollars. They sue
ceeded in getting out the horses, three cattle,
and some carriages. There was an insurance
of four hundred dollars on the barn, and small
amount on the hay, grain, and tools, at the
Merchants and Farmers Mutual Office. Wor-
cester The Westboro' fire company was
promptly on the ground with their engine, but
owing to the rapid spread of the flames they
were unable to save anything. The whole
property was in ruins in less than half an hour
after the fire broke out. 1t is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary, as there had
been no fire or lights carried into the barn that
day

FIGHT WITH THE MoHAvEs.-The recent
fight between Major Amistead and the Mo-
have Indians in New Mexico on the 9th of
August, was more serious than at first report
ed. The whole body of Indians came running
up, yelling aud whooping, and charged fear
lessly upon the Majors fifty men, the bravest
of them coming up to within ten or fifteen
yards Of the muzzles of the rifles; these, how
ever, paid dearly for their temerity the steady
and well directed fire of the men held them in
check, when, after thirty minutes hard fighting
Maj. Amistead ordered the company to charge
them, which was done fearlessly. The Indians
broke in every direction, perfectly discomfted;
not yell nor sound of any kind was to be
heard from them after this the victory was
complete. 1t is supposed that some fifty or
sixty Indians were killed. OF the Majors
force three men were slightly wounded.

A SUDDEN SENSATIONAL Philadelphia
paper tells the following singular story -
"While the fire was burning at Ninth and
Market street, gentleman was passing that
vicinity. lie was a man of large stature, great
dignity of appearance, and walked with the
air of one who was above all anxieties as to
the things Of this world being evidently in the
possession OF ample wealth. AS he passed up
Ninth street, on the other way from the fire,
he was saluted by two splendidly alfred la
dies. Greatly to their surprise, at the very in.
slant, instead of bland reception of the cour-
tesy, the gentleman sprang into the air about
six feet and gave utterance to yell that would
have done no discrcdit to a most ambitious
supe in the tragedy Of "Metamora." As he
ahghted on his feet he struck off his hat and
began to tear in such a manner that the ladies
shrieked with mortal fear, evidently appre.
hending that their friend had gone insane. A
policeman picked up the gentleman's hat, an
inspection of which satisfactorily calculated
the cause of SO violent demonstration. A
red hot cinder as large as pigeons egg,
thrown from the funnel of one Of the steam fire
engines, had fallen upon the top of his hat.
burned hole through it, falling again upon
the gentleman's head, and burned its way
down upon the scalp"

SUICIDE OF PRoF. Ross AT HALLE.-The
Vienna correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph says that Prof Boss, the well
known Hellenist and archaologist, in fit of
mental depression, engendered by prolonged
illness, committed suicide at Halle on the 9Th
ult With all British scholars his name has
been perfectly familiar for long time past.
His essays on the comparative geography of
ancient and modern Greece have greatly con-
tributed TO the illustration of Hellenic history
while, in number of learned dissertations on
classical subjects, he not only evinced his pro.
found acquaintance with compatriots of Plato
and Xenophon, but in the rare sagacity and
eloquence OF his arguments, succeeded in ex-
hlblting in his own mental calibre the choicest
qualities of the Athenian mind.
