NEGRO APPLICANTS FOR OFFIcE.-The Washing
ington correspondent of the New York Erpress,
in recent letter to that journal, says:
The number cf applicants for minor Offices bv
colored men is perfectly astounding from Massa-
chusetts alone. am informed that for postmas-
ters' berths there file over 210 applications
and the suppositon is that there are several black
applicants filed away amongst the white ones. In
order to save trouble, let me suggest to each ap.
plicant the propriety of making an affidavit as to
the color of his skim &c., and enclose it in his ap
plication, while those whose applications are
already file should forward it to the department
Immediately. This plan would undoubtedly facili
tate business, and enable the applicant to obtain
his appointment much sooner than he would if he
leaves the department to find out his color, breed,
&C., as the department are determined not to make
appointments from the colored ranks without
knowing it, no matter how well they NAV be in
dorsed.
MAN AND WOMAN BITTEN BY CAr1N CHURCH.
On Sunday week a rabid cat found its way into
Trinity Church, King street East, during divine
service, and after roaming about for some time, it
entered Mr. Gooderham's pew, and before it was
expelled, bit Miss Gooderham on the hand. The
animal was subsequently caught by the SEXTON
Mr.. Mulligan, and while he was carrying it out it
bit him on the hand and scratched him. Mr. Null
lgan regarded the wounds as trifng, and paid no
attention to them. few days afterwards his
hand and arm began to swell in fearful manner,
and DR.. Small was called in. Everything was
done which medical skill could suggest, but unhap-
PLY it was of no avail. Mr.. Mulligan fingered in
great agony till an early hour yesterday morning,
when death put an end to his sufferings. Miss
Gooderham is also very i'll from the effects of the
bite which she received, and it has been deemed
proper to amputate one of her fingers. DIR. Ross
and other medical gentlemen are in constant at
tendance her, and it is to be hoped she will soon
be beyond danger.-7oronto Globe
Hadden, the young man shot by Mclean at
Wheeling on Tuesday, died on Thursday.
