largest mandatory of the kind in the
United States. The fire was caused by

building was four stories high. A range of
high buildings, $50 feet long, on Palm

cover all loss. No lives were lost but
two persons were badly scalded.

LONDON, February 29.-In the case Of
General Maggie, now on trial on the charge
of Fenianism at Sligo, q motion for the de-
lay Of the trial was made by MIR. Heron,
counsel for the defence, but was refused.
On the announcement of this decision by
the court, Mr.. Heron moved to transfer the
case to the Court of the Queens Bench, in
order that the trial might take place else
where. The chief ground for this motion,
Mr.. Heron said, was the fact that there
were not six American citizens in the
whole city Of Sligo, and therefore it would
be impossible to select mixed jury. At
this moment George Francis Train, who hap.
pened to be In Sligo, rather unexpectedly
appeared before the court and volunteered
to become one Of the American jurors.
The offer was declined. Mr.. Heron's mo-
ton was argued at length, when the court
refused to transfer the case to another
place. The case was then proceeded with.
The Times Of this morning has an edi-
torial article on the trial of General Maggie.
The writer strongly urges the abandon
ment Of the prosecution, saying that the
point of law involved is, to say the least,
questionable.
LONDON, February 29-Evenin9.-But
little progress has been made thus far in
the trial Of the Fenian prisoners at Sligo.
The most Of the time to-day was consumed
in an endeavor to empannel jury. In or
der to secure q mixed Jury it became
necessary to summon six Prussians, but as
these soon after absconded, the trial was
adjourned until Monday.

PHILADELPHIA Mass MEETING AGA1Ns1

PHILADELPHIA MASS MEETING AGAINST
CoNGREss.-Philadelphia, February 29.--
An immense Democratic meeting was held
here tonight in opposition to Congress.
Resolutions were passed denouncing the
attempt Of Congress to destroy the constl-
tutonal powers of the executive depart
ment and the judicial department OF the
Federal Government, they being coordinate
and coequal with the legislative depart
ment, and alike beyond its control !;
supporting and sustaining the executive
and judicial departments against the
uslrpations of Congress in all acts which
are for the defence of the Union and Consti-
tuition against legislative treason, and also
bitterly denouncing any attempt on the
part of Congress to give the negro race
either political power or social equality.
Copies Of the resolutions were ordered to
be sent to the President and presiding
officers Of Congress.

DARING ROBBERY IN PENNSYLVANIA
Reading, Pa, February ga daring and
extensive robbery was committed last
night at Kessinger Mill, on the Tulpehocken
creek, about three miles from this place.
Charles Long, miller, was attacked in
the mill at about 2 o'clock in the morning
by four disguised men, who shot him, and
robbed him of $1,000, which he had upon
his person, and then left him tied and it
was discovered this morning that his house
had been entered by the same party, who
ransacked the bedrooms and carried off
$4,000 in Government bonds, $4,000 in
greenbacks, and $4,000 in gold. A reward
of 81 900 has been offered for the appre-
hension of the robbers, but no arrests have
been made up to this time.

The AIbemarle Ghost.

From the Scottsyllle Register.
One chap has been kicking up terrible
rumpus for some three weeks past at Mr..
Moons Observation-Disclosures two make
their appearance. The fact that two have
been present lately at the same time is evil
dent from the fact that heavy rapping was
heard one night on either side of the house
front and rear) at the same time. Glass
has been knocked out and rocks thrown
into the house, and the family annoyed in
various ways almost nightly for some time
past.
a few nights since a man made his ap-
pearance the guard inside had full view
of him. They determined, instead of
firing upon him, to open the door suddenly,
and try, if possible, to seize him. They
therefore threw open the door, and sprang
toward him. AS quick as thought he gave
a dodge, was around the corner, and out OF
sight. They might as well try to catch a
deer.
This is one Of the strangest affairs on
record. The house has been guarded for
year. One or two men during this time
have been seen or heard in and about the
house hundreds of times annoying the
family. They have been shot at repeatedly
Indeed, one of them has as much daring as
it is possible for any human being to pos
sess. The escapes from death he has made,
and is still making, are mysterious and al
most miraculous.
Another mystery is, What can be- the
object of these visits9 Why should a
man, night after night, the coolest weather
imaginable for this climate, expose HIM
self, sometimes to the pelting storm
sometimes in snow six inches deep? Can
it be gratifying to him to alarm the ladies
by rapping, throwing lights, knocking out
glass, and walking over the house occa-
sionally? He must be despicably mean
creature to wish thus to interrupt inno-
cent (sickly) and unofending females.
Mr.. Moon has been absent more than a
month, and it seems "the ghost" takes
more pains since he left to annoy the
family than when he was at home. We
would infer from this that it is not Mr..
Moon against whom he has particular
spite. We have conversed with no one
that seems to have any fixed opinion on the
subject.
Plumber cannot be his object; it cannot
be murder. If he wishes to alarm Mr..
Moons family sufficiently to induce Mr.. M.
to sell his farm, he must be deficient in
common sense if he expects to accomplish
his object by playing "ghost." We doubt
if any one save the mysterious fellow him.
self can account for such strange pro-
ceedings.
