The dullness in the Gold Room during the

MANCHESTER ITEMs.-Outrageous As-
sdult.-On Wednesday night as Mr.. A. B.
Lithgow was on his way home from the
Theatre he was aeeosted at the corner of
Hull and Second streets by man, who
demanded his watch and money. MIR. L.
being rather slow in complying with this
unreasonable demand, the would-be robber
fired at him, the ball passing through Mr..
Lithgow's overcoat. The shot being re-
turned, the robber fed and made good his
escape. No clue has been found to the per-
petrator of this outrage.

it does ours. and in response to this conf
dence we must, by meaus of the public
prints and on Legislative floors, -enlighten
the. people as to the necessity of sanitary
REFORM, -.qg- .szg,u .r fse Ta,I
The Professor then spoke of the unre-
strained sale of poisons throughout our
land as temptations to suicide and homi-
eide, and condemned also the enormous
and unrestricted sale Of secret mixtures,
many having ingredients denied in their
advertisements. Sanitary science asks not
that these be suppressed, but that legisla.
tion,. in granting them patent rights, insist
that these ingredients be published as
prominently on the labels as their names.
He then spoke of the wide field for useful
ness and for glory in this branch OF medi-
cal research, and earnestly urged it upon
the attention Of the class. In attempting
to cure disease they would frequently feel
the limit of their power; but thereis no
limit in preventive medicine; her bounda-
ries are as wide as the good she may ac-
complish, and while we may not look for
ward, perhaps, with that famous physician,
Sir James Simpson, to q time in the dig
tant future when oil medicines will be
pleasant beverages instead of vile pills and
lotions, morbid growths be melted down,
contagious diseases utterly stamped out,
and the child born to live hundred years !;
yet we can confidently believe that you may
live to see such advances in prophylaxis
and the art of healing as appear marvellous
to US now.
The concluding part of the address was
directed more particularly to the members
of the graduating class, embracing many
hints. as to the practice of the medical pro-
fession, and urging them to aim at the at
tainment Of the highest excellence. Though
the highest llonors of medicine, remarked
the Professor, may come to but few, yet the
prizes are open to all, and he who arms
himself with perseverance, self-reliance,
and endurance, may first reach the winning
post. All, however, can expect modest
competency, and all can acquire rich re-
ward in the heartfelt gratitude and thanks
of suffering humanity, as well as the salts
faction derived from pursuing 8 vocation
whose objects are at once sacred, unselfsh,
and sublime.
We regret that lack of space compels
us to compress the address into on imper-
feet abstract. 1t was we'll written, deli
yered with fuency, and received with evil
dent manifestations of satisfaction by the
class and the audience.

THE THEATRE-BENEFIr OF Mr.. BISHOP.
Last night there was good audience at the
Theatre, and the performance passed oil in
a most lively manner. Tonight Mr.. Bishop
has his benefit, and will appear in the fine
old comedy of Paul Pry. Such an atsrac,-
ton as this cannot fail to fill the house, and
in addition to this is the fact that it ID DIR.
Bishops benefit. This fine, large gentle
man deserves at the hands of our people
handsome testimonial. He has put the
city in good humor, and made men laugh
who we're badly ever known to smile be-
fore. Give him bumper, then, and crowd
the house 80 that there will just be room
enough for the delicate form of Bushup" !"

DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION IN MAN
CHEsTER.-AbOut 8 o'clock OH yesterday
afternoon fire occurred at the Graham
Manufacturing Works Qate Old Mills),
Manchester, commencing in the willow
room, and from thence was communicated
to the picking-rooms. At one time the en-
tire edifce seemed in imminent danger Of
being destroyed; but through the perse-
vering efforts of Alert Fire Company, OF
Manchester, (who were early on the ground, }
seconded ably by the Richmond Fire
Department, the progress of the flames was
stayed, and only Building No. 8 was de-
stroyed. Building No. 2 was damaged by
fire and water, but Building No. l escaped.
It is impossible to compute the loss at this
time, but we learn that the company was
fully insured.
Too much praise cannot be awarded the
Richmond Fire Department, Colonel Egbert,
the police, the Fire Department of Man
chester, anl the citizens Of both places, re-
gardless of color, for their praiseworthy
efforts to arrest the confagration.
By this calamity a number of very de-
serving people are thrown out of employ
ment, and we trust that efforts will be made
for an early resumption of operations. A
fire occurred in the same room in 1857, but
without such serious consequences. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
some substance in the cotton, there having
been no fire in the room this week.
