Tropical shrubs and trees, sumo OF them

the entire establishment, and Learned
that all the Rum here produced was
shipped to Messrss sP. H., Drake & Co.,

TOMATO FIas.-Properly made, tomato
figs are far preferable to many of the fer

are now abundant and sugar reasonably
cheap, we give the following directions for
making figs, for the information of our
housekeepers sF li"t"
Pour boiling water over the tomatoes to
remove the skins; then weigh them and put
into stone jars with as much sugar as to-
matoes; let them stand two days; then pour
off the syrup, and boil and skim until no
scum rises, then pour it of the tomatoes
aud let them stand two days as before; then
boil and skim again. After a third boiling
and skimming, let them stand ia their syr"
up until drying weather; then place them
on earthern plates or dishes, and place
them in the sun to dry--that takes about
week; then pack them in small wooden
boxes, with fine white sugar between every
layer. They will keep for wears.

FINE MARKEr.-Certainly.. God has
blessed the people with nearly every natu-
raj advantage and luxury. Especially the
latter. The finest fruits and vegetables in
\ the world spring up all around US in pro-
fusion, and our market is always full to ex-
'ravagance. The market place always, but
especially on Saturdays, presented an aAi-
mated appearances. The carts are stretched
along in continuous line up Main street,
to the corner of Church street, while around
the market house the crowd is so dense as
to seriously impede loeomotion. Rarely has
such an abundance of the gifts of Pomona,
or of the products Of the soil been seen any.
where, Us in our market this season. 1t
seems that the veritable cornucopia has
been emptied of its contents, for the sustea
nance ofour people.
The display of fresh meats is as good as
is Usually the case in the season Of meeting
moods but the fruits and vegetables are
arrayed in quantities and variety seldom
equalled. The fruit season may now be
considered at its full, and finer peaches, ap-
pies, pears, plums, grapes, blackberries,
cante!opes, watermelons, &C., have never
been ofererd the Norfolk public. Prizes
vary according to size and quality in all
fruit departments. Especially does this ap"
ply to peaches, now the predominating
fruit, which range from ten to Fifty cents
per peck. Cooking and eating apples are
quite reasonable, and melons, both musk
nd water, are down to q very low figure
Lima beans are comparatively high just
now, but cabbages, beets, tomatoes, string
beans, green corn and Irish potatoes have
not in long time sold at lower prices
Chickens, ducks, geese, eggs and fish, are
all plentiful and disposed of at moderate
figures.
Despite the large number of our citizens
absent in the pursuit Of health and pleas
ure, the attendance at the market shows no
parceptibls statement, and the vendors
generally dispose Of all the products.

DISASTER.
Four Persons BurncdiO Death in New York.

Four Persons Burned TO Death in New York.
From the ~ Y. tribune Of this morning.
shortly alter p NJ. yesterday tire broke out IN
the building No 63 Liberty street, occupied by the
Paterson Iron Company and A. ). Raymond, prih-
ter, the latter occupying the second hoor anu nG G
the fourth was occupied in part by the janltor and
his f8mily The iremen reached the spot within
a few moments of the first alarm, and IN a
short time subdued the flames, which did
not accomplish any great amount OF damage,
property, and somewhat injured the building. When
the building Inspected after the fire, mosthor
rible sight greeted the eyes of the tlremen./ In
room on the fourth floor whose door had to be
broken open, they found the bodies of man and
woman and two small children, all horribly burned
corner of the room, joined together in close en-
brace, while the man lay few feet from the door.
IL is supposed, from the fact that the door was
licked ON the inside that the man, who was the
jantor OF the building hearing the alarm of fire. and
seeing the remen about to enter the house, retired
to his apartment for the purpose OF preparing for
fight and locked the door to guard against intru-
sion. lie was seen on the street few mo.
keys in his hand, and had probably just finished
locking up the building for the night The other
victims were his wife and children. 1t is supposed
that the smoke had suflocated them before the
flames reached them. The family were well known
in the neighborhood, by sight, but strange to say no
bodies were removed To the Second Precinct station
house, where they were viewed by Coroner Flynn.
The ~ building IS owned by trederGK Marqnand OF no
from the city, his brother, Mr. Henry Marquand, was
telegraphed for by Captain De Camp, that the name
Of the victims might be ascerained If possible.
The children, boy and girl, were respec-
til ely six and twelve years of age, but
he parents so charred and
distgured as 10 render an estimate OF thel ages an
utter mpossibiGy. While the bodies lay at the sta
tion-house many persons, led thither by curiosity
more revolving than that which leads men to eXecu-
tons and prize fights applied for permission to view
them, but Captain De Camp very properly refused to
grant their request AS the building is located in
business locality which is deserted after dark by all
save anitors, 1t was very difficult to collect any in
formation relative to the sad affair. 1t was thought
that the fire originated in Mr.. Raymond's printing
office, although OF this there is proof The COro
ners inquest which will be held to-day will probably
deyelOp the full facts.

ALASKA INDIANS.
The Want of schools.

From the AdScd Times, Oct. 49,
Anatootz and other head men of the Sitka tribe of
Indians had an interview with Vincent Colyer the
United States Indian Commissioners, at the head
quarters OF the commanding General of the Depart
lnent of Alaska on Tuesday last. General Davis,
Colonel Brady, DR.. Bailey, and Captain Mcintyre
of the army, and Madame the widow of Michalon,
late chief of the Sitkas, were present, Messrs.
David Shirpser, Sukoff, and William Phillips acted
as Interpreters. The object of the meeting was to
ascertain if the Indians would care to have schools
established among them; sanitary supervision
exercised over their village; and an hospital and
medical attendance provided for them. To ali
of these proposals the Sitkas gratefully as
sented, promising to uss their best endeayors
to secure the attendance Of their children and un-
employed grown people at schools, and to find help
to aid the Sanitary Superintendent in his Efforts to
cleanse and improve their village. They consented
also to grant OF land on the hilltop for the erec
ton of a new market for their benefit and the
peoples convenience, and agreed to remove such of
their dead as might be in the way OF the new en-
terprise. When the question was asked II they
wished for freer traffic in whisky for their tribe
they said most emphatically that they did not and
gave that as the cause OF riotous disturbance in
their village the night before. The interview was
most agreeable one, and pot latching or entertain
ment was resorted to. They are very intelligent
Indians, and Mr.. Colyer says, 'quite equal to any
that he has in his extended tours in the Indian

tennessee Constitutional Convention.

The Tennessee Constitutional Convention.
Despatch TO the BUening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 30.-After a good deal of
discussion the Constitutional Convention bill
was perfected yesterday, and passed to its third
reading in the House. 1t will pass in the Senate
without any material alteration. 1t provides for
the election of one hundred delegates, to be
voted for by all male citizens over twenty-one
not convicted of any Infamous crime.
After the adoption of the new constitution it
will be submitted to the people for their ratifca-
tion or rejection. An amendment was offered
by radicals, confning the action of the conven-
ton to the repeal of the franchise law and the
removal OF disabilities, but it was voted down by
party vote. The second Saturday IN December
has been set for the election of delegates, and
the iirst Monday in January for the meeting of
the convention.
Ex-President johnson
was on the floor of the House again yesterday,
and remained for some time listening to the
discussion. There is little doubt that he will be
delegate to the convention.
