The Attempt to Burn New
Y ork--Order of General Dix

New York, Nov. 26.-Generai Dix
has issued the following order in rsla.
ton to the recent inccndiary attempts to
destroy the city:
"a nefarious attempt was made last
night to set fire to the principle hotels
and other places of public resort in this
city. If this attempt had succeeded, it
would have resulted in frightful sacri-
fee of property and life.
"The evidence Of extensive com5ina.
tion, and other facts disclosed to.day,
show it TO have been the work Of rebel
emissaries and agents. All such persons
engaged in sc cret acts Of hostility here
can only be regarded as spies, subject to
martial law aud to the penalty of death
Ifthey are detected they will be imme'
diately brought before court martial o'
military commission, and, if convicted
they will be executed without the delay
of single day"
General Dix has also issued an ordel
renewing the notice to all persons from
the insurgent States to register theil
names at headquarters. Persons failing
to comply with these instructions will b.
treated as spies.

D%We notice that Hon II. Souther
has been doing good job, by way Of
laying plank walk on the east side of
his residence. He certainly should
and will, receive the thanks Of all who
have business at the Philadelphia and
Erie r. r., Depot. We understand
that ]. S. Hyde Esq, intends to extend
the walk, to the bridge over Elk Greek
as soon as he can procure hands to do it
When completed, it will be one among
the many jobs Of the kind much needed
in our village. The next and most i'm.
portant walk now needed, is one frou
the Post oficc to intersect the plank
crossing in front of the Clyde House" "
Who will he first to move in this matter.
It only wants some one to make a start
and it will soon be accomplished.

One Of our government officials Just
returned from. Peru, tells ms that among
the first and most frequent inquiries
uade of him there about our public men
was. whether he knew or had ever seen
the celebrated American Chemist, Dr.
j G. Ayero of Lowell. His remedies are
found in every village from the elevated
slopes of the Andes down to the coast,
! and their remarkable cures seem 10 attract
even more attention there than in this
country. The sentiment Of wonder at
their effects, takes far deeper hold on
a half civilized and supersitious people
than it does with US where the rationale
Of medical problems is so much more
generally understood No other Ameri-
can has made himself so familarly known
to the masses of the people in foreign
countries or excited in them so lively
an interest in himself as the Doctor has
by his skilful application of chemical
science to the treatment Of disease.
That must be dull man who does not
feel some pride of country when he 6ends
among distant nations that he is already
known and welcome there, through the
labors of our Statesmen, Merchants and
Scholars, whose renown has become na-
tionsl property, and consequently in
some measure his own. Whether DR..
Ayers remedies do actually cure more
than others or not, they have secured
the reputation of being = God send to
those afflicted with disease, and where
great numbers in any community be.
l'eve that they owe their health and
lives to ones skill, they are sure to feel
an interest in him which will find ex-
preston when they meet his country
men, National Era, Washington, D.
lC.

How Courage is Impaired.

a bold, hopeful man inspires courage
in many weaker minds, for there il
something in the human soul that re-
spends TO the call of a noble example
Mr. Watson says, in the Atlantic
Monthly:
A little girl sleeping by her moth
ers side awoke in a severe thunder
storm, and, nesting in terror near tc
the mother, and shrinking into the
smallest possible space, said, trembling,
Mother, are you afraidYL
No, my dear, answered the lady
calmly.
20, well" said the child assuming
her full proportions, and again dis pos
ing herself for sleep, :" if you're not
AFRAID, I'm not afraid" and was soon
slumbering quietly.
What volumes of gravest human his
tory in that little incident So inf
nitely easy are daring and magnanimi-
", so easy is transceDdant height of
thought and will when exalted spiritu
ally, when imperial valor and purpose
breathe and blow upon our souls from
the lips of living fellow Not, it may
be, that anything new is said that is
not required. What another now thrills,
inspires, traDsfgures US by saying, we
probably knew before, only dared not
let ourselves think that we knew it.
The universe, perhaps, had not a nook
so hidden that therein we could have
been solitary enough TO whisper mat
divine suggestion to cur own hearts.
But how some caildlike man stands up
and speaks it to the common air, in
serenest unconsciousness of doing any
thing singular He has said it-and o,
he lives By the help of God, then, we
too by word and deed, will utter our
souls.

Vandalism AT THE WHITE House.

VANDALISM AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
The Washington Star says:
Persons of both sexes have been
guilty of clipping pieces from the win
dow curtains, sofa, lounge and chair
covers. They even 60 80 far as to pull
the papering from the walls, and even
10 steal heavy brsckets from the win
dows and tassals from the curtains.
The curtains in the East and Green
Rooms are very badly cut up, and nine
teen out Of twenty brackets stolen from
the windows of the East Room alone
This practice is INDUCED with a view
to secure relics of visits to the Presi
dents Mansion, and ladies and gentle
men Of high standing have been de-
tected in it. These ladies, whose names
are not made known, have been caught
in the act within a few days, one of
whom tainted when discovered. The
annoyance has grown so great that
proper measures have been taken to
prevent repetition ef,the offenses.
