GREAT RIOT AT MANCHESTER, n. H.

MANCHESTER, n. H, Sept. I5-Tne muster
of tremen in this city is great and exciting
affair." embracing seventy-fve companies and
thirty bands of music.
With the crowd of visitors to the show, were
mum rous gamblers. between whom and the fire
men some trouble occurred, about eleven o'clock
last night, which led to serious riot, in which
several buildings were partially demolished and
other property destroyed.
The attack was first made on buildings Nos.
p and 81 Elm street. where the gamblers occu-
pied rooms. The inside party having the ad-
vantage of position, drove off the tremen, using
pistols and clubs. A second attack was made by
the tiremen, in which they were victorious and
took possession.
The interior of the building ransacked,
the furniture smashed, and about three hundred
dollars worth Of liquors and cigars seized, which
the tremen speedily appropriated.
The crowd numbered at least two thousand,
who then proceeded to demoiish Nos u aud IS
Elm street, surprising that they were also occu-
pied by the gamblers, but this not the fact.
The moo then turned their attention to the
American House, kept by Horace Bonney, a
large three story building Manchester street.
All the lower windows were smashed and other
damage done.
The mob here desisted in their work of destruc-
ton The windows of the restaurant were brok-
en-, but other injury was done to it.
About four o'clock the streets began to wear
the appearance OF qttetnass and order again.
