fourteen years of age, was taken before Justice
Dom this morning, by his step-father, upon the
charge of assaulting and beating his mother The
boys face was scratched and bruised and it was
evident he had been fighting some and the cut

fight. The wish of his legal guardian was to
have him sent to Jail till he could be bound out
to strict master, and the commitment was given
npon the charge being sworn to.

FIRE-About | O'Clock yesterday morning, a
story and-l-half frame stable on Eighteenth street
west, near the corner of New York avenue, was
discovered to be on fire. The fire had made so
much progress before 1t was discovered. that no
effort was made to extinguish the flames, so far as
the stable was concerned, but only to save the
adjoining dwelling house and the other ont build
Union engine and hook and ladder companies
which were on the spot soon after the fire was
discovered; but the stable was entirely consumed
NUMBER OF valuable fruit trees in the lot were
also destroyed. The fire is confidently believed to
have been the work of an incendiary.

ing way Several burrows are run on each
side OF the wagon-track, and then the dirt is
scraped or shoveed into the middle of the
road, and rounded over so as to shed water.
That this ordinarily makes a good road, we
would not venture to affirm. But we are very
sure that this dirt, often plowed up and thrown
back upon the track, is quite rich, especially
an roads that are much travelled and would
make good dressing for anybody's farm or
garden. 1t contains the washings of the road
from the droppings Of horses and cattle which
have been deposited during the year. and
mixed with the soil. The turf which is also
plowed up, is quite valuable in the composing
yard. Possibly, the road commissioners would
object to having the soil carried off; they have
legal right to object But if the farmer
should agree to return load of good gravel
or pounded stones, for every load OF soil taken
away, it would prevent all complaints. And
tins could be good bargain for all parties

Der Of the LecOmpton Constitutional Convention,
attended its first meeting. The question Of
submitting the Constitution to the people was at
once privately discussed and am satisfied that
a majority of the members were opposed to such
a course, but before any vote was taken upon
this point an adjournment was had, and was
absent for a few DAYS upon the re-assenbling OF
the Convention.
Soon after my arrival the question OF submis
sion was again talked about. John Calhoun,
President OF the Convention, approached me
with the remark that he understood that was
in favor OF submitting the Constitution to the
people. | said | was. He then invited me to s

but when the plan OF partial suJ~aission-,ht

support such plan, and withdrew.
The question next arose in the Convention
and when the plan of partial submission was Of
the floor, offered as an amendment that th
whole Constitution should be submitted, and ths
the ballots, instead Of reading, " for the Const

affectionate relatives, and, We are quite
sure, is surrounded by city Of 10000
friends, for who can be else His age, his
service, his good life, all claim honor, esteem
and affection.
Last evening Mr.. Farnham retired at an
early hour, and received no visitors. He
will receive his friends at the Revere House
to-day, between ten and twelve A. NJ
and three and FIVE 2. NJ.
He accepted, yesterday afternoon, from
Mayor Dana, Of Charleston, an invitation
to visit Bunker Hill, and to receive mil
itary escort. The precise day that this will
take place is not determined, but will be
so this morning 1t will be an aspiring
spectacle to witness the old veteran once
more on the soil where he made one of
that noble phalanx who fired at the white
of the enemy's eyes from the entrench
ments, when Howe and his three thousand
grenadiers twice recoiled before the deadly
yolleys of some twelve hundred raw Yam
kee militiamen," with loss about equal
to that of the whole American force. Such
a spectacle is to come.
1t is of interest to state that Mr. Farm.
nam served throughout the Revolutionary
war, and at its close, in 17Sl, exchanged
his uniform for back.woodsman suit, and
throwing himself into the Maine wilderness,
built log cabin. and cut homestead out
Of the forest with his axe 1t is upon this
same locality that he now lives, and where
he will end his prolonged life
