seems recently to have seized upon a
number Of people, In the form Of an
uncomfortable desire to set fire to
buildings. 1t was shown at Chicago,

Commissioner Douglass, on the 10th inst,
in letter to Collector Ames, of Providence,

any written contract, made in the form of
a receipt or otherwise, WHICH renews or
continues a policy, requires the same stamp
as the original policy, whether the renewal
receipt is given before the expiration of the
policy or after. 1t. is estimated that the

by crouchins and growing at the farther
end of their den. A policeman gave the
alarm, and Lorenzo, with the agility and
intrepidity Of tiger, rushed into the
hyena's den, and, inviting two keepers to

be seen in the midst of the combatan,s,

The grasp was a terrible one, aud o fatal

Lorenzo, rushing at the neck of the leo
