REV. Mr.. MURRAY's LECTURE.

The lecture going people Of our city have
seen and heard Adirondack Murray. Before
the curtain of the Hall, on Tuesday evening,
stepped square, compact built man, easy,
self-possessed, and evidently at home with
an audience. Mr.. Murray is clergyman
with the modern Improvements He wears
mustache, has q touch of style in his gar
ments, and that in his eye and bearing which
bespeaks knowledge of the world and its
ways. We make no doubt that he could
drive fast nag, sight a rifle with steady nerve,
paddle a birch against the current, broil a
vension steak by the campfire, and even
brew very creditable punch as q night-cap
before retiring to his couch Of spruce boughs
His chief resemblance to the Apostles of old
is that he goes fishing
The lecture was mainly interesting. 1t
described the pcculiarities of what is known
| as the Adirondack region, in Northern New
York-an immense tract Of wild land, so
mountainous and inaccessible that it is in its
primitive wiltlness to this day-so threaded
with streams, studded with lakes, and over
grown with trees, as to be hunters para
disc. Mr.. Murray has visited this region for
many successive summers and published
year ago book relating his experiences It
had great run, because it was well written
and told pleasant, though improbable, stories
OF adventure, and the attractive life in the
woods. 1t likewise promised restored health
to all inyalits who should 90 there. Like
all plausible quackcries, it had its measure
OF success. Next season, tourists, sportsmen
and invalids crowded all appro aches to the
region. They did not exactly come and see
and conquer-but they came, experienced
and went back disguised. A meeting was
held at the hotel, as the companies came out
at which they christened themselves Murray's
fools. The New York Her aid sent a special
reporter into the wilds whose letters most
numerically cut up the book and the author.
This will account for the bitterness of the
lecturer towards that paper. But what can
writer expect who lays himself open as did
Murray in that book?
Ii 4 man means to write 4 work which
shall rival that Of Sinbad The Sailor, let him
say SO. But when in these days of fact
when fable is questionable, for a Clergyman
to deliberately state that 4 man caught and
held deer by the tail, chased an Indian
girls phantom over 4 cataract, and did n
score Of other impossible things, he must ex-
pect to be exposed and laughed at. A speci-
men of this was the assertion that he stood
on mountain and dipped his hands in q
rainbow that foated over the top, We
thought Of Baron Munchausen's story of the
traveller who n q tremendous snow storm
fastened his horse to IL post, and afterwards,
when the snow melted, found him hanging
to a church srire! Mr.. Murray draws Il long
bow, but the rainbow is the longest of all

LETTER FROM BuCKSPORT.

A compliment to the journal and the eX-

Gently paid by gentleman who differs wide

rocks stick up and cause the runners to leave

The observance of Christmas is getting
more and more universal with each year.

East Bucksport likewise observed the day.

HOTEL BURNED AND LOSS OF LIFE

RICHMOND, Va, Dee. %.
AT quarter past two this morning the
Spotswood Hotel was discovered to be on
fire on the first floor.
The flames spread to such an extent that
escape by the stairway was cut off. The
guests then commenced leapng from the
windows. ?. p. Clark Of Philadelphia,
steward of the hotel, leaped from the third
story window, receiving fatal injuries.
The most fearful scene of the disaster was
the appearance of Mrs Emily Cornelius, OF
Baltimore, housekecpcr, at the window OF
the fifth story, with one or two other ladies,
screaming for help. The fire company'>
ladders were put up but failed by two
stories to reach the windows, and while the
liremen were endeayorlng to lengthen the
ladders the crying women disappeared in
the thick smoke and were lost,--the room
lighting up n moment after with the flames.
The guests lost all their clothing, and the
ladies had to walk barefoot over the snow to
places of shelter Total loss S300,00
Seven persons are known to have been
burned to DEATH among whom was Mr.. II.
A. Thomas, agent of the panorama Of the
Pilgrims Progress.

victory to the administration, but it is SO
dearly bought that it cannot afford to be re.
peated. The house Of our opponents is too
weak to Withstand many such shakings.
Upon the reassembling Of Congress, after
the holidays, the measure will have to pass
the fiery furnace of the house, in which, il
we mistake not, it will receive worse
scorching than in the Senate.
The impression which careful consider
alton of the whole subject must leave upon
a candid mind is that the President has gone
upon hunting expedition, which may result
in his getting bagged himself.

ENGLISH VESSELS SUNK BY PRUSSIANs

London, Dee. 90. There is intense OK
element in this city consequent on the alarm.
ing intelligence that the Prussians have viz
tually committed an act Of belligerancy that il
former days of English pluck would have
been sufficient to provoke wal Six English
trading vessels have been sunk in the Seine
by the Prussians, for the avowed purpose of
obstructing the navigation of the river |
can convey you no idea Of the effect of this
news on this city. Men read it on newspa-
per bulletins and then turn away with invol-
untary closed fists and Indignation in then
eye, that would be dangerous to the sPeace
at any price man. if he should chance tC
come along at that moment. 1t is expected
this will awaken feeling throughout the
country that will mark the turning point in
promotion Of English public opinion, when
avenge their insulted honor. The Times has
published an extra, a most unusual course
and endeavors to calm the public sentiment
by expressing the hopes that the report is
exaggerated and expresses a strong convic
ton that the Prussians would not commit sc
suicidal an act. The people will not lister
to this, and point to the dispatch with indig-
dalton, which further states that the British
Vice Consul at Rouen has presented to the
Prussian Commander at Rouen, an indig
nant and formal protest. This is regarded
here as a confirmation of the truth of the dis
patch, and the Standard and other Conserva
tive papers have a bitter war toned article
calling upon the Government either to re-
sign or declare itself insulted and take the
needful means for the correction of the out
rage upon the British flag.

SAN DOMINGO The New York Herald

SAN DOMINGO. The New York Herald
correspondent at Washington writes
"When the San Domingo resolution reach
es the House it will be championed by Ben
Butler, and the opposition to it will be led
by Farnsworth and Logan. A spicy debate
is expected; but it is conceded that there is
strength enough in the House to pass it. The
President and his friends evidently count up
on its success, for orders have already been
given to fit up the United States Steamer
Tennessee to carry the commissioners to San
Domingo. There is some speculation as to
who the President will appointupon the COM
mission. The original idea of the President
and Senator Morton was to appoint members
of Congress, two from. the House and one
from the Senate. 1t was the intention to have
two gentlemen who favored the project and
one who opposed it, so as to give the minori-
ty representation on the commission. 1t
may be, however, that the President will APP
point three citizens outside Of politics and
public life. At all events, the end of the bus
mess is not yet, for Sumner is determined to
oppose il at every step"
