CHICAGO NEWS.

Through the courtesy OF Mr.. w. II.
HENNEGEN, of this city. who has just
returned from Chicago, we are supplied
with copies of late newspapers from the
burned city. The newspaper offices,
with their accustomed enterprise and
energy, have been among the first bust
ness establishments to resume opera
tons after the fire. The office of the
Evening Post was destroyed on Monday
morning, but in the evening of the same
day the proprietors issued an extra and
resumed their regular publication on
Tuesday evening. The first copies of
the paper sold for enormous prices and
are now much in demand as relics.
Twenty-Five dollars was refused for a
single copy of the first issue Of the
Post. All of the papers before US, the
latest bearing date of last Friday even

fusion in their composition and make
up, but they are nevertheless striking
illustrations of the wonderful vitality
and energy of American journalism.
We notice in these papers many little
incidents Of the great fire which have

Philadelphia. Mr.. Roteler was for

LOWEST SINCE lS2S.-We are informed
that the Ohio river is now lower than it
has been since 1928. The marks at
Burlington show less than IL inches OF
water in the channel. Last Wednesday
a woman waded the river at Letart
Falls, and the deepest water found did
not come above her knees. At Eight
Mile they have been fording the river
for several weeks, while at this place
the horse ferry" can with difficulty
navigate. This stage ofwster precludes
the idea. Of navigation by steamboat,
and consequently the familiar noise Of
boats are very seldom heard hereabouts.
Even the Active, the lightest draught
boat running to Parkersburg, has been
compelled to seek employment in the
Kanawha river, where she is carrying
the mail. Notwithstanding the utter

tain notices OF meetings to make ar
ran gements for the resumption of bust
ness. The first insurance paid was
$4,000, paid on Thursday by the Ph@,

thought that all the principal Eastern
companies will be able to pay their
losses promptly and in full, and the
work of rebuilding will be commenced
at once. A dispatch from POTTER

STRANGE BIRDs.-On last Friday night
about 10 o'clock, a countless flock of
birds began flying through the air,
chipping in a manner that indicated
that they they were in distress. They
seemed 10 have been drawn to the town
by the light, in their passage, and at
tracted the attention of great many OF
our citizens. They flew about promis-
cuously, and the whole air seemed to
be full of them. One of the little wan
derers, attracted by the light, flew
against the house Of Mr.. VIM. Slain,
and disabled itself SO that it was cap
tured. 1t was brought to our office the
next morning, and number examined
it, but no one recognized it as being
any species of bird of this region. The
theory is, that they have been driven
in this direction by the great fires that
have been raging in the West. The
bird was about the size of our robin. OF
a dark lead color, with tinge Of red at
the extremities of the wings and tail.
1t was a beautiful bird. We learn that
several Of them were caught at Webster,
four miles south of this place.-Gratton
Sentinel.
THERE is so much news of more ex.
citing nature, that the little telegram
announcing successful Fenian raid on
Pembina, on the 9TH inst, will be apt
to be overlooked. A dispatch from To-
ronto, of the 18th, says:
Further advices have been received
confirmatory of the account of the fe-
Man attack on Pembina, on the 9TH
inst. They met with no resistance
there, the place not being garrisoned.
It appears that O'Donahue has been
planning an attack on Fort Garry all
summer, relying upon receiving support
from the French half-breeds. The raid
was intended to inspire them with con-
fdence. He has been intriguing with
the workmen on the line Of the North
ern Pacific railroad, counting on their
help when the work on the road stopped
HE'S said to be accompanied by o WE'LL,
Southern General, and had Only
about fifty men with HIM.

The Black & McKaig Homicide
4Acquittal Of Blackstone in the Court Room

Acquinal Of BLack-Scene in the Court Room
The correspondent Of tho Washington
Chronicle thus describes the acquittal of
Black, &C Frederick, Friday, and the scene
IN the Court room that followed the an
nouucement of the verdict
AT FIVE minutes after o'clock the bail
1T having the jury in charge came down
and notified Chief Justice Maulsby that
THEY HAD AGREED UPON VERDICT.
Judge Maulsby directed them to be brought
down, and at eight minutes after o'clock
they entered the room. After they were
seated the clerk directed the prisoner to
stand up. He stood erect, and seemed
perfectly composed the audience who had
come in held their breath, as it were and
when the clerk asked the jury if they had
agreed upon verdict the stiffness was al
most painful not even the breathing of the
vast crowd disturbed the silence the Jury
replied that they had agreed upon a YER
dict.
Clerk.-Wbo speaks for you?
Jury foreman.
Clerk. = Gentlemen of the jury, look up
on the prisoner at the bar, and say is he
guilty or not guilty?
Mr. William Feagea, the foreman, rose,
and in clear, distinct voice said,
"NoT GUILTY"
One deafenius yell of applause went up
from the crowd, and they rushed forward
and raised the prisoner and carried him
from the court room. Sheriff Lamon, of
Allegheny county, in whose custody Black
has been since this deed was committed,
was the first to cmbrace Black in the most
atfectionate manner.
AN EXCITING SCENE.
The admonitiou Of the Chief Justice.
given when the jury came in, that no dem
onstration would be allowed, went for
nought. The pent-up admiration and love
that was resting in the hearts Of that audi
ence for Harry Black, even among those
who bad never known him save for the past
few days Of this trial, could not be restrained
by the forms Of judicial tribunals, for be it
known that his manly dcmeanor during
this trial has won him the respect and love
Of oil who have had any knowledge Of it.
AS soon as be could free himself from the
crowd he joined his mother, who was stand
iug within the bar weeping for Joy over
the release Of her SOP, and with her walked
to the hotel, where duringtbe day and eve.
ming be was visited by hundreds Of friends
and acquaiDtaDces who came TO congratu-
late him upon his release.

Ep The first session of the Forty-sec-
ond Congress terminated on Thursday even
ing of last week. During its session about
forty bills of public and private charac-
ter were passed. Quite an exciting scene
occurred on the floor of the House Just be-
fore the adjournment, between Messrs.
Butler and Farnswortb, and at one tine
the parties came near personal collision.
Farnsworth charged Butler with embezzle
ment of the funds of the National Soldiers
Asylum, and perjury. Mr.. Beck replied
to Buffers attack on Garrett Davis.
The Ku- Klux bill as il came from the

In the House, on the same day, by vote

Disastrous FIRE.-It appears that a
fire broke out in a carpenter shop in Farm
ington, Marion county, this State, about
sixty-Gyc miles from Wheeling, on the
Baltimore aud Ohio railroad, on Saturday
morning last, destroying fifteen dwellings,
station house, warehouse, and merchandise
worth $4,000, ticket and express Offices and
their contents. The FIRE was caused by
some drunken men playing cards in the
carpenter shop, and dropping a candle a.
mong the shavIugs. The town is half de-
stroyed
