4 PROVIDENCE TRAGEDY.-Owen
Reynolds is dead. Last Sunday from
his wretched home, where his father and
mother were both drunk, or sadly under
the influence of liquor, he was sent with
two dollar bill aud physicians pre-
scription to the drug store. He got the
medicine and one dollar and quarter in
change. Taking then younger broth
er and seven other boys, he went to an
open grog shop just over the line in North
Providence, where boys of tender years
are trained for the filthy gutter and dis
honored grave, There he spent his mon
ey in drinking and treating his compan'
ions. Drinking what? Let the result
show. Seven of the boys were just able
to crawl home from that Sunday tipping
shop. Owen and his brother fell dead
drunk in the OVERLOOKING gutter, and in
that condition were carried home to their
drunken parents. The youngest boy, by
violent vomiting, was relieved of the
poison that threatened his life. Owen
remained in an insensible stupor until the
next day, when he died. Will the au-
thorities of North Providence now ju-
dicially inquire who killed Owen Rey-
nolds? Or must the murder of this lad
of fourteen serve only as another illus
tration of that utter decentralization Of
the rumseller, which furnishes the most
effective argument to the advocate of alb
solute, unconditional prohibition?

ALEXIS A MUSICIAN The Grand
Duke is musician. After dining in this
city a few days since, says the New York
Eccninq Mail, he became quite social with
the ladies in the parlor. Observing piano
in the room, he sat down to it and began to
play familiar air. An instant more and
he commenced singing, astonishing those
who observed and listened by the fact
that he was not only an excellent per-
former upon the instrument, but possesses a
well cultivated voice for music. He SEEM
ed very much delighted that he had agreea-
bly, surprised the company present.
Among those who listened to this pleasant
little musical episode and applaudcd the
effort, were Miss Clara Louise kellogg and
Miss Christine Nilsson, and one or two other
distinguished artists, who were attracted
to the parlor by the remark that "the
Duke is playing and singing"

that the shipments to Richmond during the
coming week will be larger than at any
former period. We are glad that this is
the case, and that our supply Of the cheap
er grades of coal will be reeuperated. The
regular demand is large, and the books Of
our dealers, as we stated yesterday, con-
tain many orders given early in the season,
which they have not yet been able to fill.

DECISION IN WHisKEY SUIT
AGAINST THE CTrY.-Judgc Wexford
decided on yesterday a question of much
Importance to the city. There were two
suits brought by Messers. Wallace &
White for upwards of $50, 900 for whiskey
destroyed by the city on the night of the
evacuation. It will be recollected that the
Council appointed a committee Of her citi-
zens to destroy all the liquor in the city,
and directed them to give receipts to ali
persons whose liquor was destroyed, and
concluded with this resolution: ''That the
faith of the city be and is hereby pledged
for the payment of all liquor so destroyed
to the holders of said receipts.o The ac-
ton was in assunpsa, and these plaintiffs
held no receipts, and it was so ayerred in
the declaration. Judge Meredith, as attor-
ney for the city, demurred to this count,
and contended that there was no contract
with these parties, as they held no receipts
from the committee, and that their remedy
was in trespass, and not in assumpsH found
ed on contract. Judge Wexford sustain
ed this view. This is an important decision
for the city, and there are large number Of
claims of like. kind. The plaintiffs were
represented by Messrs. Howard q Coke.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT AND DEATH.

- ~ CftOShlNG ACClDENI AND DEAlHs >
Last night, Mrs. Clara johnson, very
old lady, of this city, while on visit to
her son-in-law, Mr.. X. Todd, who resides
on Broad street, between First and Second,
met with most shocking accident, which
resulted in her death about four hours
after its occurrence. The granddaughter
of the deceased, Miss Todd, was in
her room in the third story of the
building between five and six o'clock
in the evening, Mr.. and Mrs. Todd in the
store beneath, and Mr.. johnson was in the
sitting room on the second floor. Miss
Todd, hearing an unusual noise in the room
below, hastened down to ascertain the
cause, and opening the door of the sitting
room, found her grandmother's clothes in
flames, the fire having been communicated
to them from the CRATE while she was NOV
ing or standing by it. 1t was found that
Mrs. johnson WIS terribly burned, and
medical aid was hastily summoned. The
injuries she had received were too great,
however, to be repaired by human skill,
and she died in great agony about ten
o'clock. ~, -. II. ~ b7s
This sad event happened in the midst Of
preparations, then nearly completed, for a
far different sccne--that of the marriage
ceremony-and, as may well be imagined,
cast gloom over the usually bright and
happy incidents of the nuptial right. With
the spirits Of all depressed by the shocking
calamity which had taken place in their
midst, the ceremony was performed at 0
O'Clock, Mr.. Chas. Fellows and Miss Todd
becoming man and wife.

THE CONCERT AT EBENEzER CHURCH
A DECIDED SUCCESS. The concert given
last night by the choirs of the colored
churches of Richmond and Manchester,
was a decided success. Ebenezer church
was crowded. The following choirs parti-
cipated in the exercises: Manchester
choir, Mount Zion choir, and Ebenezer
choir. A handsome silver cup was to
have been presented to the most successful
choir, but the judges found themselves un-
able to agree, there being a tie between the
Manchester choir and that of Ebenezer
choir of this city. In order to decide which
of these organizations is entitled to the
prize, we learn that another test will be
made at a concert to be given early in Jan.
uary. The following well-known musical
gentlemen acted as judges last night: r.
