eral meetings without coming to any conclu-
sion. We understand that Major Goodson
will announce himself in few days. as a

doubt, be the Opposition candidate for Mayor.

cessary for parties and their witnesses in
ordinary cases to attend the Court. Judg-

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN SToRRs TOWNSHIP
SAw-MILL SrRucK BY LIGHTNING AND BURNED
TO THE GRoUED-Loss $40, ,000.-During a
heavy thunderstorm that passed over the
city last night, about eleven o'clock, saw
mill belonging TO Storer & Malone, and located
in Storrs Township, near the Millcreek
Bridge, was struck by lightning and burned
to the ground.
The rain although il fell fast and heavily
seemed but to add fuel to the flames; and as
the illuminated thunder-clouds from which
Jove hurled his bolts fast at the Cyclops
could forge them, ever and anon, became
liyid with the flashes of lightning and a new,
fresh blaze from the burning mill, the scene
grew more and more grand until the Western
sky, from our sanctum window, looked as If
the sun had returned to set at midnight and
was going down in aliteral 'blaze of glory"
The mill was quite an extensive one, and,
as large lot Of lumber adjoining it shared
the confiagration, we feel inclined to the
belief that the loss can not fall short of $l6,-
900 or $4,000. The Fire Department was
promptly on the ground, but in consequence
Of an inability to procure water, although
the rain fell with force and rapidity
scarcely ever equaled, it did not prove very
seryiceable

DAsTARDLY OUTRAaE-THE New DRoP-oUR-
TAIN AT THE 0PERA-HoUsE Cur TO PIEoEs.-
The new drop-curtain at the Opera-house,
upon which Mr.. William Porter, the scenic
artist of the establishment, had expended two
months labor, was cut almost to pieces some
time during Saturday night or Sunday. 1t
was forty-two feet In hight by fifty-two in
width, and much the most elaborate work of
the kind we ever saw. II was admirably
drawn and promised, when completed, TO
excel the splendid drop a. the Academy Of
Music in New York.
The scoundrels were evidently well acN
quainted with the building, for they burst
open the door Of the artists room and cut a
cash across the center of the curtain, which
measured, including the curves, sixty-fve
feet in length. They also stained the canvass
with water, and with brushes daubod II in
several places with paint.
OF course the curtain is now entirely use
less, and win cause loss to Mr.. Pike of al
least $500. The labor of the artist is also en-
tirely lost; for Il can not be turned to any
account. The drop could not be used even
were il finished, and 1t would be waste Of
time and talent to attempt TO repair It. II Il
difficult TO imagine who the scoundrels were,
and as they left no traces by which they
could be discovered it is quite likely they
will go unpublished.

NEWPORT NEWS.

"UscLE TONS CABIN" DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The saloon usually known as "0ld TOMS"
located on the corner of Front and York
streets, was totally destroyed by FIRE, yester-
day morning, between two and three O'clock
The bar was kept by Major Kirtley, and the
liquors and fixtures were insured in the sum
of $500, which will nearly cover the loss
On the building, which was the property of
Mrs. Harris, there was no insurance, and the
damage will amount to about $500. A dwell
ing-house belonging to Mrs. Justice, imme-
diately adjoining, took fire several times, but
the flames were extinguished before any
serious injury was done. The Newport fire.
men, togetherwith one company from Coving-
ton, labored assiduously to extinguish the
flames, but they had made too great progress
before being discovered, to be checked. The
fire is supposed to have been the work Of an
incendiary.
The WAGGoNER CAsE.-A number of wit
nesses have already been procured from Cler-
mont County, Ohio, who have known Wag-
goner from a child, and who are willing TO
aver that there is no doubt of his freedom.
When in Lexington, he stoutly declared to
the jail-keeper that he was free man; and
one negro-trader was detei red from purchas-
ing him for this cause. Let his friends exert
themselves and theywill encounter no farther
difficulty. The Messrs. Webster are doing
every thing in their power, and ought to be
sustained. There are several things con-
nected with the secret history of the sale of
Waggoner, that may yet be made public,
which will give the affair darker aspect,
even, than it has yet been supposed to possess.

The Melodeon, last evening, on the occa-
sion of Mr.. Mitchel's lecture, on "The Agony
of Europe" was well filed, mostly by cour-
trymen of the lecturer. The lecture was a
well-digested production, temperate in its
language, delivered with an easy and unpre-
tending elocutioD, and without any attempt
at sensationalism or the higher flights of
oratory The generalization Of the present
state of political affairs on the European
Continent, was from the Celtic point of view.
The speaker did not profess to be impartial
He saw symptoms Of future uprisings of the
people against the crowns and oligarchies,
which are their oppressors, and he gloried in
the hope that sooner or later popular emanci-
patton would be the result.
Mr.. Mitchell presents Louis Napoleon as the
most important and influential character
upon the European stage-acting at this time
not upon any original suggestion Of his own;
but in conformity with ideas transmitted to
him from the first Napoleon, which he deems
1t his duty, as it is his inclination to develop
and enforce. France under him, has a mis-
sion TO perform toward other nations. She
is the representative of popular rights of self
government, and, as such, is regarded with
enmity, by the governing classes, the crowned
heads and the aristocracies. To these she is
inimical; but not to the people.
II is for her interest and her inclination to
be peaceful; and SO she always has been, until
drawn into wars by the arrogance of other
powers. Provoked, it is her destiny to over
throw governments, and emancipate the peo-
pie. The people have therefore an actual in-
terest in hersuccesses. Napoleon will provoke
no war with England, and yet war will ensue.
British arrogance in laying claim to the do
minion Of the sea, and to the exclusive right
Of colonization, and her jealousy of those
pretended rights, will be the occasion of hos
tilities.
The extent to which these hostilities will
spread can not be predicted but all Europe
is ripe for revolution. Austria is tottering.
Hungary, Croatia, Italy, need but the signal
to rise in vindication of their suppressed
nationalities. Ireland is in an equally prom
ising condition, and out of the agony of
Europe there are hopes of ultimate peace,
freedom and happiness.

ANCIENT Com FOUND IN VIRsINIA.-An
English coin, bearing date 1883, and dis
Elizabeth, was found in the garden of Fred
erick Gary, near the top of the Blue Ridge at
Rockfsh Gap, in Virginia, Mr.. Cary lives
in Augusta County, on the west side of the
mountain, and this rare coin was dug up dur
ing his gardening operations this spring.
Quere-How did it get there? The coin was
more than century and half old when
Gov. Spotswood came into the valley. The
imagination is at loss to conceive how the
coin could have been deposited in such
locality. The inscriptions on it are dis
tinct.

somewhat over eighteen millions. Rather

A NEW AMERICAN PRIMA DoNSA.-The
Paris correspondent of the New York Times
writes in his last letter:
Some of your italian correspondents mem
toned last winter the name of a beyy of
young American ladies who were studying
music under the celebrated master, Romani,
at Florence, and predicted for some of them
a brilliant career as singers. Among the
names, recollect those Of Miss Greenough,
Miss Bodenheimer Miss Field, Miss Chapman,
and Miss Fay. Two or three Of these ladies,
however, are not cultivating their musical
talent for the public ear, and of this number
is Miss Greenough, whom l have Just had the
pleasure Of hearing at private matinee MT
stcdle.
Miss Greenough, who is scarcely yet a
woman in age, and possessed of very much
more than her share of personal beauty, is
certainly prodigy in music. Have we at
last discovered an American primd donnaP
Garcia and Romani declare the affirmative,
and think it would be difficult to assert the
contrary after hearing her. She excels espe-
cially in the quality Of her voice. Let your
musical critics fix the name of this lady and
the prediction in their memories, and after
another years study abroad, they will per-
haps have an opportunity of hearing in pri-
vate, in New York, Miss Greenough's mar
velous voice. 1t is only to be regretted that
she is not to appear in public.

HARwIrz, THE CRzss-PLAYER.-Harw

match in Manchester, He played blindfoided
against six members of the Bradford Chess
Club, the six games proceeding simulta-

past seven o'clock, proceeded slowly and
cautiously on the part Of some of his oppo-
nents, but they were all ultimately van
quished one after another. His last opponent
did not relinquish the contest until two
o'clock the next morning.
