HEART-SICKENING.
One Hundred and Forty Horses
Eurned ia a Stable.

4 few days ago 3 livery stable was
burned In New York city, destroying
hundred ard forty horses. The Sjgq of
the Ist thus describes the terrible scene
The lire burned feTcsly, and the flames
shot high into the heavens, brilliantly
the whole region, and ear
rying vast fakes OF light burning mate
rial In all directions for blocks sway.
When the smOthered, subdued fire IN the
basement burst into flame, it seemed In.
staEtiy to I'll the entire building, feeding
upon the very il fiammRble material that
las So plentiful 10 its course, jumping
with lightning g.like repidity from door
To floor, laughing at ali efforts to stay its
wild csTger, and driving with precipitate
haste all human beings from Its imme-
diate Vicinity. Then arose that second
aud mere painful snd hegrt-sickening
scene on the ground floor, where We're
fifty more hOTses-the choice Of the sta
bles - high bred, aristOcratie horses,
whose vslue in some instances was COM
puted by the thousands OF dollars; ele-
CANT carriage horses, used 70 the smooth,
Yell-kept roads Of the Central Park;
genuemen's select saddle horses, familiar
only with the gentiest exercise, and
few less select hack horses. But the fury
these condemned aUimals, which, in-
deed, were only reserved for q more hor-
rlble death than their plebisn friends
who were smothered in the basement.
And as the flames flew along from stall
TO stall, catching on the hay ia the man
gers, and feeding on the extra bedding OF
clean straw, which common horses may
not enjoy, the panic stricken beasts
fairly shTieked in their agony, and tear.
ing from their fsstenings, dashed about
in the widest fury, now budding To-
gether where the flames were brightest,
roaring, Kieking, moaning, sObbing, then
overcome with pain, dashing away TO
another equally bright column Of flame,
TO meet with only more exquisite tor
ture; while all the time the flre-fiend
danced and laughed, roaring with delight
at the havoc he was creating. Horrible,
indeed, was the Scene TO those who could
give no assistance to the perishing beasts
and great was the relief 10 those pityipg
gszsFs as one after another OF the aninaals
suceumb bed TO the inevitable and fell TO
rise no more. Truly il was a great mercy
that the fire burned 50 rapidly, and this
more speedily terminated the agony Of
the poor helpless brutes.

ALASKA.
Report rrom Gen. III. w. Halleck

The official report of Gen. Henry W.
Halleck, commanding the military divis-
ion Of the Pacific, gives very interesting
statistics IN reference to the Department
OF Alaska, which is under the command
of Gen. JEFF. g. Davis, with headquar-
ters at Sitka. The ares of Alaska is es-
tjmated at SIS 600 square miles with
population Of 1900 whites and 90 coo half
breeds and Indians. Tue force of United
States soldiers in charge OF the Depart
ment consists of six communicative o.
artillery and one OF infantry. The mill
tary posts are six in number, to-wit:
Forts Kodiak, kensy, KOuizaOu, Wrsn-
geil, T0pgass and Sitka. Zoe native
population is divided Into four nations
the KOlOschiaDs or Stikeens, who inhabit
the islands and coast from latitude 54o
40, to the mouth OF the Atna or Copper
river; the Kenaiaus, who occupy the
country north OF Copper river and west
OF the Rocky Mountains, including the
peninsula OF kens, between Cooks In
let aud Prince Williams Sound; the
Aleu,ians, who inhabit the AleutiAn
SchOumsgin and Kodiak Islands, the
peninsula OF Alaska, and the country
bordering on Bristol Bay; the Esqui-
msuX, who inhEbit the coasts of Behring's
osa anu OF Tue Arctic OCEAN, Anu the In-
terror country north, and including the
northern branches of HOukOn river.
These nstiOns ara sub divided into Du-
merOus tribes and families, named prin-
cipaliy from their places of residence
aud resort. Toe natives are generally
well disposed to the whites, and peace
able, except the kolosohian nation, who
plunder the csEgOes of wrecked vessels
aud sometimes murder the crews. The
KOloschians also iuhabit the northern
islands and coasts of British Columbia,
aud are called Sdkeens by the English
settlers,
