PANIC IN A THEATRE.-In Philadelphia, on
Christmas night, the American Theatre, on
Walnut street, was crowded almost to suffoca-
tion. During the performance one OF the
bracket burners under the gallery became de-
ranged or broken, which caused the gas to pour
out in large volume, and this, communicat-
ing with one of the lights soon took fire. The
fame was about as large as a mans arm, and
when observed by the dense mass of people,
the excitement can be more readily imagined
than described. An alarm of FIRE was raised
and in a moment every man was on his feet,
some crowding forward to the stage, and others
madly, but vainly, attempting to reach the
street, and during all this time fire was franti-
cally cried by large number of the affrighted
audience. A number of boys in the gallery
succeeded in reaching the parquette by sliding
down the iron columns. The stage was soon
crowded by the members of the company, who
rushed out to inquire the cause of the excite
ment and, with the people who succeeded in
which rang through the building. Finally
gentleman came forward, accompanied by
number of the attaches of the house, with
buckets, fire hose, &C., and after some twenty
minutes had elapsed, succeeded in assuring the
people that there was not the slightest danger,
the accident had been repaired. This had
the desired effect, and the performance was
proceeded with. During the excitement the
wonder is that some one was not injured, but
from all that we can learn not an accident oc-
Cured. Here, again, as is always the case
when the slightest suspicion of danger occurs
in theatre, the audience acted like lot OF
foolish children.

To the Editor Of the Press:

new Lamoile Valley road. Undoubtedly
there will be road between these two points,
and Montpelier will thus secure a connection
with st. Johnsbury and the entire northeast
ern. portion OF Vermont. Nothing will SO
strengthen the position of Montpelier in the
State as the building of these roads, and the
construction of the Wells River road is an alb
solute necessity to the town, or we greatly err
in judging OF her future.
This paragraph gives the key TO the policy
of Vermont. The Lamoille Valley Railroad,
If built, will run over the line of the Montpe-
lier ard st. Johnsbury route as far as West
Danvlle on the direct route to Montpelier
and under the same charter parties will build
down to point Of connection with the Mont
pelier and Wells River Railroad, SO that Mont
pelier will have connection with the Boston,
Concord and Montreal Railroad at Wells Riv-
er Junction at the east, and with the Passump-
sic Railroad at St. Johnsbury at the North
west.
The Vermont Central Railroad stands ready
to carry out the pledges heretofore made by
Gov. Smith, its President at Portland, to aid
the building of this line from Montpelier to
Wells River, and form a connection with Port
land, by means of the Boston, Concord and
Montreal Railroad from Wells River to Mere
dith, and thence by the Rutland route to the
Ossipee Valley to Portland. EB-.

Guilty in sending letters. He adds: Gas to the
work to be done by me it is only to connect the
sources which 1 have discovered from five

Speke and Bakers with the Nile. The volume
of water which flows north from latitude 12O
south is so large, suspect that have been

ENBARKATION OF THE REMAINS OF
GEORGE PEABoDY.-On Saturday Dec. II,
the remains of Mr.. Peabody were placed On
board the Monarch at Portsmouth. The
special train conveying the body and the
friends of the deceased from London (which
had been provided free of expense by the
railway company, its coming being announc-
ed by gun from the Excellent, answered by
another from the Monarch's bow battery, and
the sharp blasts of the bugles along the lines
of the marines and seamen, the Monarch and
all other Of Her Majesty's ships in harbor at
the same moment dipped the British ensign
at their peaks to 'shalf mast" and displaying
the American ensign flying dipped to abreast
their foretopmast crosstrees, the United States
corvette Pls,ssoutn, also lowered her ensign
from her peak. The guns of the Duke of
Wellington, took up the firing at minute in-
tervals, and amid their sombre booming, with
the wind, now increased to fresh gale,

slowly in. and drew up on the edge of The
jetty. What now remained to be done was
the work of but few minutes, The black
cloth-covered case containing the coffin hav-
ing been removed from the railway car, was
borne to the ship, followed by the relative and
friends of the deceased who had accompanied
it from London.

INTERESTING LIBEL SUTT.-The Portsmouth
Chronicle gives the particulars of an interest
ing libel suit which came before the Police
Court in that city, Wednesday Stephen
Scammon, wealthy farmer of Stratham, was
arrested on a complaint made by Hon. Albert
R. Hatch, member of the Portsmouth bar,
for malicious libel, by causing to be published
in the Portsmouth Chronicle of Dec 25th. an
advertisement over his own signature, setting
forth that Hatch had Scammon's name to six
notes of various denominations, from five to
two hundred dollars, which Scammon alleged
were forgeries. Mr.. Hatch made a sworn state
ment denying in positive terms the allegations
set forth in the advertisement, and was anx-
ious to proceed at once to trial. Mr.. Scammon
having only been arrested three hours, and not
being ready, asked a continuance until next
Monday, which was granted, and gave bonds
for his appearance. Messrs. Frank w. Miller
and George w. Marston, publishers of the
Chronicle, who had been summoned as wit
nesses, were then arrested in the court room
on a similar criminal charge for publishing the
article referred to. The latter case was also
continued until Monday, Messrs. Miller and
Marston persoally recognizing to appear.

How TO Do A THRIVING BUSINESS
There is a good deal of talk in Philadelphia
among the brokers about certain last young
man whose father is oyerburdened with mill
ions. The young man would not work, and
tbe old man could not bear an idler, and
MANY were the quarrels between them. At
last the old man quite out of patience, said: :
snow, Jack, / give you one week to make
I'M YOUR mind to what business you are to 60
in. No son of mine shall be a lounger, and
90 to work you shall. At the end Of this
week, if you have no CHOICE will stop your
allowance altogether, and make you take
stool in my office, and work enough you'll
have of it there"
Jack promised to look around and make
up his mind. At the end of the week, sharp
and peremptory as was his way, the old bro
ker sang out:
"WelI, Jack, times up; have you made up
your mind to earn your own living?"
"Well, father, I've been thinking of it, and
have something in my mind but it will re-
quite considerable capital"
"Capital, Jack; capital, my boy" said the
delighted father. "Only try to make your
own living, and / will buy you a national
bank, or line of steamers. What is it,
Jack What is it !"
swell, father, l was thinking that If 3ou
would advance me three or four million dol
lars, could invest it in government bonds,
and make my living by cutting off the cou-
ponsp
The old man never talks to Jack any more
about "business."

SECRETS OF THE WHIsKEY BUSINESS
In whiskey case before a U. S. Commission
er in New York on Wednesday, an affidavit
in substance as follows was put in that the
distillery was run in the name of David Elau.
who had no interestin it, the other owners
being George Holman, David Leidersdorf,
Phillip Leidersdorf, and Steeker; that Hoff-
man managed the business; that large quar-
titles of whiskey were illicitly conveyed by
means of an india rubber pipe, from the dis
tillery to a compounding house adjoining,
which was hired by Hoffman and David
Leidersdorf, and run in the name of Joseph
Hoffman, the son of George Hoffman; that
quantity of the whiskey illicitly removed
was sold to rectifer in Monroe street; that
in one week no hogsheads of molasses went
into the distillery and only about so barrels
of whiskey came out, while, during the same
period, from the compounding house, he was
supplied with bills by Schuman, who had a
distillery in West Thirty-sixth street and a
compounding house in West-Thirty-s
street, to show that the whiskey was tax
paid and all right; that at one time the whis-
key which was being illicitly removed in the
night took fire aud burned the engineer,
named Daffler, very badly; that Daffier is
now employed in the dstillery, and has been
paid sum of money by George Hoffman to
keep still about the affair."

THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF NEW MExI-
co.-Gov. w. f. NJ. Army, who has recent
ly arrived at Washington, has brought with
him about one hundred specimens of quartz
from the Ute country, comprising different
kinds of metals, embracing gold, silver, copper,
lead, sc. Some of the silver lodes, he says,
will produce $50 to the ton, which will pay the
working. Of the specimens of copper, one evil
IDENTIFY contained about 80 per cent. of this use
ful metal. The Governor also brought pearls
and rubies, all the production of this far-of
region. All the metals were taken from the
surface OF the earth as the Ute Indians are so
hostile that miners will not remain among
them to work the lodes that are positively
known to be rich in the precious metals de-
scribed above. If the Indians were out OF the
way and more abundant supply Of water was
obtainable, it would be the richest mining
country in the United States
