Burning OF Barnum's Museum.

We surrender considerable portion
of our space to day to the publication
Of a part of the New York Tribune's
account of the late confiagration in that
city i'm which Barnum's museum and
much other property was destroyed
We take it that some parts Of this ac-
count are pretty highly eolored, but we
give it as we find it. Tomorrow VIC
shall publish some extracts from the
Times account touching other interest
ing points in this great fire.
The Tribune's reporter, . part OF
whose report we publish below, wit
messed the confagration from the win
dow of his own room directly opposite
the Museum on Ann street. He says:
Protecting myself from the intense
heat as we'll as / could by taking the
mattress from the bed and erecting it
as q bulwark before the window, with
only enough space reserved OIL the top
as a lockout, ! anxiously observed the
animals in the opposite room. 1mme-
diately opposite the window through
which gazed, was large cage con-
tanning a lion and lioness. To the
right hand was tho threc-storiod oage,
containing monkeys at the top, two
kangaroos in the second story, and a
"happy family" Of rats, cats, adders,
rabbits, etc., in the lower department,
To the left of the lions cage was the
tank containing the two vast alligators'
and still further to the left, partially
hidden from my sight, was the grand
tank containing the great white whale,
which has created such furore in our
sightseeing midst for the past few
weeks. Upon the floor was Gagged the
Demonstrators, anacondas and rattle
snakes, whose heads would now and
then rise menaoingly through the Gage.
In the extreme right was the Gage en-
tirely shut from my view at first, oon-
tanning the Bengal tiger and the Polar
bear, whose terrified growls could be
distinctly heard from behind the parti-
ton.

SELF EMANCIPATION OF THB LIONS.
With simultaneous bound, tho lion
and his mate sprang against their bars,
which gave way and came down with
great crash, releasing the beasts,

ed at their sudden liberty, stood in tho
middle Of the floor lashing their sides
with their tails and roaring dolcfully.

nected with the theatre, as a singer, was
about to receive q benefit on certain
Monday evening. On the Saturday al
ternoon previous he called on Joseph
Hopkins, rising young lawyer, % years
of age, with whom he mad gone to school
when both we're boys. The actor said he
had but twenty boxes taken, and his
benefit would be lost unless he could get
a patriotic song written to the "Pres-
dents March," then popular air. The
poets of the theatrical corps had tried
their hands, but were satisfied that NO
words could be made to suit that air. HOP.
kins promised to make the attempt.
At that time there Was a great discus
sion in the country as to the policy oil
America joining either France or England
in the war then waged between those two
nations, and party spirit ran very high
Hopkins endeavored TO write song that
should be independent of the interests

and look and feel exclusively for Ameri.

morning, and the theatre was crowded to
excess, and so continued during the sea.

On cooking stoves, their use in regulating the

There is safety in them. because they arrest
