The Sherman House will be re-erect-
ed on the old site ia very short
time. Mr.. George Sherman has gone
to Now York to make negotiations TO
that effect.
All the letters in the postoffice
were secured, with the exception OF
a small mail which had come in on
the Fort Wayne road at midnight.
All the the advertised and registered
letters were secured. The stamps
and stamped envelopes were in the
vault, which, when opened, proved
worthless. The walls OF the old
building are worthless, and an effort
will probably be made TO secure tho
erection Of one which will surpass
my in the country, except the one
1t New York.

PROGRESS OF THE SUICIDE MAN1A-The
ih'rd Attempt actthin F0rty-eigM Hours
Scarcely had the excitement occasioned by
the suicide of Carrie Edwards died awaV.
and the attempt Of the other woman (men-
toned in the Dispatch Of Yesterday to
take her own lite been forgotten, when it
was announced that there was another case
of attempted self.destruction in the lower
part OF the city. Gaining sufficient infor-
nation to start on the search. q reporter of
this paper went to the 1st police sta
tion, where it had been reported that
Hattie Moore, woman Of bad re-
pute, had killed herself. The facts,
however, are that at about s O'Clock
last night she went to the drug store of Mr.
a. W. Noting, on Main street, near 18th,
and in the absence of the proprietor, who
was ut supper, purchased from his clerk
about twenty cents worth of laudanum,
which she drank after getting on Goth
street, between Main and Cary streets.
1T this place she laid down, and would
have fallen asleep but for policem IN,
who came up and inquired what she was
doing there. She told him at once that she
had taken the laudanum, and desired to be
let alone. She was then taken to the house
at which she was living-N1rs. David,
known as the "Red Light" on Main
street, between 10Th and Goth streets. Drs.
Riddell and Jackson were called in, and
did all their power to restore her to con-
sciousness. At 10 O'Clock she had partially
recovered, but the physicians, fearing that
the emetics would not have the desired
effect, started out for an instrument gene
rally more effective. While they were abb
sent the laudanum seemed to have
terrible effect upon her, and it was feared
that she would die before they could re-
turn. Later, however, other remedies
were applied, and by II o'clock she began
to talk, and shortly afterward recovered.
1t is proper to state that no blame is at
tached to Mr.. NoltinS's clerk, for Mrs. Da.
vid had been in the habit of purchasing all
her medicines at that store, and the woman
was for Mrs. David, and it was upon this
assertion that he consented to let her have
it.

A WHOLE FAMILY KILLED BY RUNAWAY
HoRsEs.-A Missouri paper gives an ac-
count of a sad accident which occurred
near JohnsIown, in that State, ou Sunday
morning last, by which four persons were
killed-a father, mother, son, and an infant
caila. From the meagfe report we CLEAN
the following: MIR. Bottles aud family were
returning from church in Lwo-horse
wagon. In crossing Deepwater the horses
became frightened and ran away, dragging
the son, who was driving, distance OF
nearly a quarter of mile. In going this
distance from the creek 1t appears that The
mother jumped out. after throwing out her
infant child. In the afternoon traveller
from Germantown discovered the lifeleSs
body of the son near the road. Soon after
he found the woman with her neck broken,
and the child lying near her alive, but
almost dead from the effect OF the heat.
Further on he found the wagon upon the
dead body of the father. The child has
since died.

A DANGEROUS PLAYTHING.-A we'll
known citizen lett at this office yesterday a
specimen OF kind of "torpedo" which
is now being sold in this city among other
fireworks. The sample left at this office
is about the size of small marble, colored
blue and red, and it looks good deal like
a sugar-plum. One Of these getting into
the hands of little boy few days ago. was
ignorantly or innocently put by him into
bis mouth, and almost Immediately ex,
ploded, disfguriug him very much, and
endangering his life. The sample lett at
this Office was accidentally. exploded, and
from the havoc it made among the papers
and other matters near we had good op-
portunity to judge of the injury and de-
bic of producing IN inexperienced hands.
Asit appears to be mainly intended for
children, it is very questionable whether
its manufacture and sale should be permit
ted. At all events, parents and guardians
should be warned against it.-Ph,lade!phia

Chahoon was again called for trial, and the
uenire watch had been previously sum-
moncd were examined, but discharged,
they having formed or expressed an opin-
ion. The question as to issuing tales fur
ther to try the possibility of obtaining u
panel in this city was fully argued by Judge
Crump and Col. Marmaduke johnson in
behalf hf the prisoner.
Judge Guigon thought it impossible to
obtain jury in Richmond, as there had
already been summoned more than eleven
hundred veniremcn for this and the Sands
case.
The City Sergeant being sworn, testified
that it would be hardly possible to secure
4 jury here. After the examination of MIR.
Lee, the judge ordered Uenire of fifty men
to be summoned, twenty-five from one
point and twenty-five from another. The
places, for prudent reasons, were not men.
toned, and the case was then continued
until Thursday next.
