EXCURSION TO CAPE COD.

August 10.
Leaving eastern Steamboat Wharf at
o'clock A. NJ, in the fine little steamer Acorn
Capt. Stevens, we found oursef at A. NJ. in
the harbor of Provincetown. 1t being flood
tide we landed from the boat by plank reach
ing the wharf. We stopped at the Pilgrim
House, the only hotel now open in that place,
found "mne host J. Clifford, Esq, full of
company many of whom were from Worcester
and vicinity. We were provided with good
quarters, at moderate prices, and well cared
for. The sea-breeze and bathing here is excel
lent and invigorating various kinds of fish
are taken in great abundance in, and outside
the harbor, and the accommodations for sailing
and fishing, are superb orse-mackerelabound
in great numbers in the harbor, and are often
captured. We had the pleasure of being one
of crew of six 1.-THE regular number to man
whale boat to capture one of these "animals"
we had for a Captain, Chas. Cook, every inch
gentleman, J. freeman of Worcester, G. w.
Perry of Clinton, and two other names I'M
known, after number of unsuccessful at
tempts of throwing the harpoon, we fastened"
to one, and were carried Jehu-like something
less than mile, when we gave up the chase,
and after giving him few thrusts with the
lance, we secured him to the boat and towed
him ashore, some u miles distant He mea-
sured eight feet in length, five and half feet
round, and was judged to weigh nearly 700
pounds. Thus ended our first "whaling voy-
age" The people here are very obliging and
attentive to visitors, and ever ready to give
information to the thousand and one questions
which they may ask. Our advice to any one
intending to spend few days at the sea shore,
is, by all means, go to Proyncetown

DEATH OF Moses d. PHILLIPs.-We an
nounce with regret the death of Moses ID.
Phillips, our former fellow citizen, and for
nearly fifteen years the head of the well known
publishing house of Phillips, Sampson Co.,
Boston. For several months he had been IN
ill health, and was compelled to withdraw
from the more active cares of his business.
He died at his residence in Brookline, Satur-
day evening, atthe age offorty six years. The
booksellers and publishers of Boston held
public meeting at the store of Little, Brown,
& Co., Monday afternoon, to take some appro-
pirate notice of his death. VIM. d. Swan of
the firm of Hickling, Swan & Brewer, spoke
of the estimable character and great kindness
of heart for which the deceased was well
known. VIM. D. Ticknor alluded to the recent
death of Mr. Sampson of the same house with
their deceased friend, and to the solemn les
sons which these repeated bereayements
should teach them all. Resolutions of respect
and sympathy were unanimously adopted
Mr.. Phillips was a native of Charlton,
came to this city at the age of eighteen years,
anu SSTFeQ as C16Tk III luc DOOkStOTG VI Nldr6u-
don Harris for four years, till 1885, when he
established bookstore in connection with
William Lincoln, Esq.-a partnership which
continued for only two years, when he COM
menced alone in the store now occupied by
w. II. Sanford in Brinley Row. He removed
his business to Boston in 1874, and established
the house which has since acquired so honora-
BILE fame. His family continued to reside in
this city till 1854, when they removed to
BrookliHe, the place of his residence at the
time of his death. He served upon the Board
of Aldermen in this city in the years 1928.
The funeral services will take place to-day,

MISCELLANEOUS.
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury, abiding to the extent of the
slave trade from the former city, says that
two ladies, now attracting alteration at a
fashionable watering place, invested in little
venture of this kind not long ago, and, as a
result, have augmented their banking accounts
one to the extent of s23 900 and the other
$4,000. The headquarters of the traffic in
that city are mainly in South, William, Broad
and Water streets. From a dozen to twenty
vessels now engaged in that trade belong to
the port of New York
Two Fifth Avenue ladies were promenading
that fashionable street one pleasant afternoon,
not long since, when they discovered female
acquaintance passing them in an omnibus.
Anxious to attract her attention, they began to
kiss their hands to her in a very energetic
manner. The driver, mistaking these vehe-
ment oscillatory demonstrations as a compli-
ment to himself, returned it with great cordial
ity, making the avenue echo with kisses. The
ladies on the promenade retired to hide their
bushes.
On Thursday last, the train of cars on the
Rowe and Watertown IN. " Railroad was
stopped by an army of grasshoppers, which
had collected on the rails during the night, and
at point where it was up grade, seemingly
taking advantage of the iron horse.

ANOTHER REFORM SCHOOL Boy ARREST
ED.-Deputy Sheriff Newton was called upon
on Monday by the officers of the State Re-
form School at Westboro' to put into custody
another of the boys, one of the oldest at the
institution, named Thomas Clarity, from
Quincy, who has been there about six years
and is now in his twenty first year, near the
expiration of the term of his confinement. 1t

The FIRE AT DEER IsLAND.-The Boston
Journal gives the following particulars of the
attempt to destroy the House of Reformation
for Boys on Deer Island, Sunday morning
The boys of the House of Reformation were
called up as usual at o'clock, and after hav-
ing made their beds, in presence of two of the
teachers, went to breakfast. After the sound.
ing of the alarm, it was reported by one or
more of the boys that three boys at the time OF
going to breakfast We're G5f1hfgl6ni attending
under their beds. me fire, three boys were dis
the discaBeDe IN tears. This excited suspicion.
and the lachrymose youngsters were immedi,
ately taken into custody. Their names are
William Coughlin, 16 years DID, sentenced for
larceny; Thomas Gordon, IA years, sentenced
for truancy; and Michael Riley, IA years old,
who is believed to have been the instigator o t
the act of incendiarism. Gordon and Cough
lin confessed their participation in the act,
and implicated Riley, who does not deny the
charge.
They say that when the other boys left the
dormitory for breakfast they secreted them
selves under some OF the beds, and having
previously stuffed two of the ventilators with
straw and paper, set fire in both places. and
then passed out of window upon the fiat roof
of the hospital, where they remained until the
alarm was given, after which they went inside
and mingled with the other boys. The Riley
boy confessed TO have been present and said
two other boys were acquainted with the
scheme of destruction.
The boys stated that it was their intention
to set the building on fire at midnight, but the
Coughlin boy, who was commissioned TO ap-
ply the torch, oversight himself To this cir
cumstance the salvation of many lives NAV
very likely be due. As it was, the fire was
discovered in fifteen minutes after it was set.
The matches with which the fire was kinded
were procured by the Coughn boy on Fri
day, while on the annual excursion in the bay
with the other boys.
The Riley boy was once an inmate of the
Reform School at Westboro', where he is said
to have distinguished himself by setting fire
to that institution three several times. Under
the terms ofhis sentence to the Reform School
he was transferred to the House of Correction
i'll South Boston as an incorrigible. AT that
institution he served out his sentence. and
was afterwards sent to the House of Reforma
ton as a dissolute child AT the last place he
has been nine months.
The young incendiaries were familiar with
the particulars of the Westboro' fire, having
gathered them from paper brought to the
House of Reformation by the Gordon bow
and it is believed by the officers of the insti-
tuition that the burning of the Reform School
suggested to the young scapegraces the com.
mission of the crime of which they have made
confession The three culprits are in irons
and closely confined in cells in the basement
of the House of Industry. They do not ex.
hibit anything like penitence, but seem to
stand in some fear of the consequences of what
they have done.

JAYHAwKERs ARRESTED IN SOUTHERN
KANsAs.-There is a report that trouble has
again broken out in Bourbon county near Fort
Scott. couple of Jayhawkers Of Southern
Kansas were taken in custody twelve miles
below Fort Scott, on Friday last, by some par
ties from whom it was alleged they had stolen
horses, an armed posse, numbering near five
hundred, had collected and sworn to rescue
the Jayhawkers at the peril of their lives At
that time all was confusion and a desperate en-
counter was anticipated. We cannot but be-
lieve that this report is exaggerated. The
Amnesty bill quoted all difficulties in South
ern Kansas. and the disposition of all parties
was to live on terms Of peace and friendship
with one another Nor do we believe that
any man or set of men would assume the re-
sponsibility of ruthlessly breaking that reign

prospered so greatly Times.
